Dancing in the velvet moon<\/a><\/p>\n

Dancing in the velvet moon<\/strong> is one of the songs on Nana Mizuki’s new mini album STARCAMP EP<\/strong><\/a>, and it also happens to be the ED theme to Rosario + Vampire<\/strong>‘s unbearably fanservicy anime adaptation, which, I shall once again take the opportunity to remind everyone, is a travesty to the awesome page-turner that is the original manga<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lyrics translation<\/a> and more fanboying after the break.<\/p>\n

Dancing in the moon<\/strong>

hakugin no honoo ten wo kogashite

akeru koto wo wasureta yoru ni
\ntorawareta hoshi no izumi
\nhitori kiri sotto inoru youni

Dancing in the velvet moon<\/strong>
\nNana Mizuki<\/p>\n

The silver flames engulf the sky.
\nThough my heart may be torn asunder,
\nI want to give myself only to you;
\nPlease accept my true self that is this cross.<\/p>\n

The unsleeping velvet moon
\nAdorns this secret room.
\nThe two of us are alone. I quietly lock the door.
\nLet’s dance and lose ourselves in this playful moment.<\/p>\n

Like a candle lit by a gentle flame,
\nI let my heart be softened by you.
\nPledge me your eternity.<\/p>\n

No one can break the chains of love.
\nCast a sweet bewitching charm on me.
\nOnly you can accept my primal instincts,
\nMy forbidden melodies:
\nNow they too can soar free.
\nHurry… Catch me.<\/p>\n

In the night that has forgotten to end,
\nA fountain of stars lies trapped.
\nIt is alone, silently as if praying,
\nFor a dream that it doesn’t need to awake from.<\/p>\n

Find me in the darkness that binds me.
\nOh, this sweet scent is driving me crazy.
\nPlease let it embrace me, right now.<\/p>\n

The silver flames dance in the sky.
\nEven if they swallow up and erase everything,
\nI ask only for you to be here.
\nThis throbbing heartbeat just won’t stop.
\nOur entwined souls
\nWill someday produce a miracle.<\/p>\n

Is fate predetermined?
\nEven if it can’t be changed,
\nI can surely breathe new life into it.<\/p>\n

No one can break the chains of love.
\nCast a sweet bewitching charm on me.
\nOnly you can accept my primal instincts,
\nMy forbidden melodies:
\nNow they too can soar free.
\nHurry… Catch me, I am here.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This song suits Moka really well. It’s so awesome. I hadn’t loved a Nana song this much since her 2002 single suddenly ~meguriaete~<\/strong><\/a>, which if you think about it is already more than half a decade old. Time passes fast. (Yeah I said it: I didn’t like those Nanoha songs! So there.)<\/p>\n

According to houkoholic<\/a>, who is the undisputed authority on seiyuu stalking<\/span> appreciation, STARCAMP EP suffers from really terrible clipping. I didn’t really think it was a technical issue; I thought the clipping effect was what the producers were going for. I guess I’m just too used to overly-amplified synthesized music.<\/p>\n

I should really find real stuff to blog about.<\/p>\n

As usual, you can get the CD for this song from Amazon JP<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
