| And yet more Black/Noir scans. They should be more than enough to satisfy any VanaN'Ice fan.
I say I was going to post more, but some were already given by Haruaki in their site. You can also see them at http://vananice.kaerumusic.com/
That said, I don't see these at that page, so let's see them together, shall we?

That should be enough for a while. If you are one of those random people that come here for the Daughter of Evil translations, you might be pleased to know that now that I have an electronic dictionary, it IS going much faster. And things are getting more interesting, so I actually get a smidge of interest to keep going, despite the alarming lack of Gakuponess.

| Escena 4: Allen, en el Salón de los Espejos del Palacio Real de Lucifenia (continuación)
"Señores y señoras, este es una atracción especial que la princesa Rillianne ha dispuesto para su diversión.” La voz del ministro fue la señal para que Ney, los otros sirvientes y yo llevásemos un artículo único al Salón de los Espejos. Aquel castillo era…Parecía algo salido de un cuento de hadas…Un castillo de dulces. Era quizás de mi misma altura. La base estaba hecha de incontables capas de pastel. Las paredes exteriores estaban cubiertas de crema de un blanco puro, y sobre ellas, los brillantes tejados estaban hechos de chocolate. Y había tantos caramelos decorando el regalo de la princesa que era imposible contarlos. El castillo había sido horneado con tanta pericia que no parecía ser un castillo de dulces en absoluto. Me hizo pensar que si fuese a abrir sus puertas, una bruja me invitaría a entrar. Y esa bruja sonreiría de la misma forma en que Rillianne estaba sonriendo en aquel entonces. Gracias a la plataforma móvil en que descansaba, no era particularmente difícil transportar el castillo de dulces. Sin embargo…era difícil de creer que Rillianne hubiese ordenado que horneasen algo semejante. Según escuché más tarde, la idea se le ocurrió de improviso a Rillianne aquella misma mañana y ordenó al patissier que lo confeccionase. “¡Oh!”- Los invitados a la fiesta elevaron sus voces, admirados. Aparentemente, el castillo de dulces había tenido un poderoso efecto en aras de demonstrar el poder de Lucifenia. Pero no es como si tal cosa hubiese sido el objetivo de Rillianne en primer lugar. De seguro, ella sólo quería comer algo semejante; ella sólo quería divertirse. No había nada más detrás. Con la boca abierta de asombro, la cara de Leonhart enrojeció. Con aspecto de estar claramente furioso, salió hecho una tromba del Salón de los Espejos. Yo partí detrás del agitado comandante. “Pad…¡¿Comandante Leonhart, que va a pasar con su turno de vigilancia?!” “Haré mis rondas afuera!” Adentro del Salón de los Espejos, Rillianne se divertía cortando el castillo de dulces con un tenedor tan enorme como un tridente. “Con poder absoluto, ella construye un mundo que se ajusta perfectamente a sus deseos…Ella ciertamente en una 'Hija del Mal', tal como una bruja.” Leonhart escupió esas palabras finales, y salió del salón. Yo me quedé ahí parado, sin poder decir nada. “No es sorprendente que Leonhart diga eso, pero…” Súbitamente Mariam está parada a mi lado hablándome. Al parecer, ella estaba suficientemente cerca como para escuchar nuestra conversación. “Yo estaba pensando algo semejante. Sin embargo…” “Él también lo sabe. Las órdenes de una princesa son absolutas. Pero su personalidad es un problema.” “¡Doña Mariam…! ¡Allen…!” Mientras Mariam y yo hablábamos, Charttetto se acercaba a nosotros a toda velocidad; elevando su voz en un grito que escapó del salón. “Parece que el baile ya va a empezar, ¡tenemos que poner las cosas en orden!” “No hay nada admirable en correr dentro del palacio, Charttetto…Bueno, no importa. En primer lugar, lleva a los otros sirvientes a los jardines. Necesitamos prepararnos para despedir a los invitados.” En respuesta a las instrucciones de Mariam, la chica comenzó a correr…para luego detenerse inmediatamente. Adoptando un grácil paso, Charttetto caminó hacia los jardines. Yo la seguí. No tenía sentido tratar de buscar a mi padre. Solamente esperaba que no fuera a hacer alguna imprudencia. Mientras me dirigía a los jardines, me puse a pensar en aquella playa bañada por la luz del atardecer. En ese momento, Rillianne había dicho que estaba “sola.” Eso no podía ser verdad. Por lo general, ella estaba rodeada por hordas de personas. No tenía problemas de dinero, bienes materiales o alimentos. Con sólo una orden, ella incluso había erigido un castillo de dulces. -¿Por qué dijo eso?- Yo sabía la respuesta…Aunque quizás decir que lo sabía no fuese el término correcto. …En un cualquier caso, pasó algo de tiempo antes de que fuese capaz de entenderlo en mis propios términos.
Ahi tienen...

| Scene 4: Allen, at the Hall of Mirrors of Lucifenia Royal Castle (continued)
“Everyone, this is a special treat Princess Rillianne has arranged for your entertainment.” The minister’s voice was the sign for Ney, the other servants and me to bring into the Hall of Mirrors a unique item. That castle was…It seemed like something straight out of a fairytale…A castle made of sweets. It was perhaps about my height. The base was made of countless layers of cake. The outer walls were covered with pure white cream, and over them, the glossy roofs were made of chocolate. And there were so many candies decorating the princess’ gift, it was impossible to count them all. It was so skillfully made that it didn’t seem like a castle of sweets at all. It made me think that if I were to open its doors, a witch would beckon me in. And that witch would smile in the same way Rillianne was smiling then. Thanks to the moving platform it was on, it wasn’t particularly hard to transport the castle of sweets. However…It was hard to believe Rillianne had ordered such a thing to be done. From what I heard later, Rillianne was hit with the idea that same morning and had the patissier bake it. “Oh” The party guests raised their voices in amazement. Apparently the castle of sweets had a sizeable effect towards demonstrating the might of Lucifenia. Though it wasn’t like that was Rillianne’s objective in the first place. It was likely she just wanted to eat something like it; she just wanted to have some fun. There was nothing more to it. With the jaw dropping in shock, Leonhart’s face reddened. Looking clearly enraged, he stormed out of the Hall of Mirrors. I went after the flustered commander. “Fa… Sir Leonhart, what about guard duty!?” “I’ll do my rounds outside!” Inside the Hall of Mirrors, Rillianne amused herself cutting the castle of sweets with a fork that was as huge as a trident. “With absolute power, she builds a world that matches her own wishes perfectly…She certainly is a 'Daughter of Evil', just like a witch” Leonhart spat out those final words, and left the place. I just stood there, speechless. “It’s no wonder that Leonhart would say that, but…” Suddenly Mariam was standing by my side speaking to me. It seems she was close enough to hear our exchange. “I was thinking along the same lines. However…” “He is aware of it too. The decrees of a princess are absolute. But that personality is the issue.” “Head maid…! Allen…!” As I talked with Mariam, Charttetto rushed towards us, raising her voice in a shout that escaped the hall. “It seems that the dancing is about to start, we gotta get ready to tidy things up!” “There’s nothing admirable about running inside the palace, Charttetto…Well, no matter. First, take the other servants to the gardens. We need to prepare to see the guests off.” In response to Mariam’s instructions, the girl started to run…and then stopped immediately. Adopting a graceful pace, Charttetto walked towards the gardens. I followed her. It was useless to try to search for Father. I just hoped he wouldn’t do anything reckless. As I headed into the gardens, I thought back to that coast in twilight. At that time, Rillianne had said she was “alone.” That couldn’t possibly be true. Ordinarily, she was surrounded by hordes of people. She had no problems over money, material possessions or food. With just one command, she had even erected a castle of sweets. - Why did she say that? - I knew the answer…Though perhaps saying I knew it wasn’t the correct choice of words. …In any case, some time passed before I was able to understand it in my own terms.
Hopefully there won't be something too weird in this...I probably need an editor.

| More VanaN'Ice, since someone asked for it.
But first: *I'm not scanning text-only pages. Those wouldn't be of much use without the translation, and there's a bazillion things I need to translate and draw before even contemplating doing THAT. *If you can, buy the book. It's worth it. So these aren't meant as a good-quality replacement.

Bushido ~It was the way of the SAMURAI~ by mathru /kanimisoP http://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15005764
Shadow of the moon, melody in the dark night Even the flame of life, exposed to the dew, sings of eternity The red spider lilies blooming by the causeway lure someone to his dying place One day, the sword has sliced the skin, and the cold wind takes the heat of the burning body away Two that cannot exist unless their hands are dyed in blood dance madly Such a strange relationship, clad in insanity Just captivated, falling in love “In the name of the samurai”* Reflected in the moonlight, an afterimage in the dark night A battlefield where the cold wind blows A rush of emotion each time we face each other Seeking the heights, hearts pounding And so, each time we love each other, a visible reaction As much as the heat that gushes out Our mutual instincts, laid bare These rampaging urges I, dancing in the palm of your hand You, playing in the palm of my hand Stabbing, being stabbed, flowing and then Killing, being killed, shedding tears The way, the future that continues along this path The cruel world, the endless struggle Man is samurai, a dying era A stage where only sorrow remains Life, one day is ruins Heaven so distant that I’m falling Hell so inescapable that I start to struggle Coming to wish for someone’s warmth Until the day you fall in love with me Until the day my feelings reach you I will continue to aim for you I will continue to be scared of you These small flowers blooming close by Have become a cruelly trampled thing Though young, the budding nature Was attacked by someone, and fleetingly ended 108 worldly desires hidden within Undying, spreading all around Squirming in the threshold between life and death, a conflict Losing even oneself, questions and answers with no meaning That is the way of the samurai, passed down to us Two that cannot exist unless they hurt each other dance intoxicated in the rain The shadow is waxing, stealing away my prudence, dyed in white Adding up, the feelings we experienced just resonate higher Our mutual attraction and our crossing both reflected in that moon A pain that won’t be healed unless my hands are dyed in blood, petals fall and scatter The shadow decays, stealing away my heat Sent back to darkness, feelings distant, sent back to eternity Aah, towards where “feeling” dwells People and things are going back, going back

Rera
流れ行く雲はなぜか 悲しみの旋律を奏でる
逃げることも出来ない 戻ることも出来ない 信じられるのは太陽と 風の道しるべ
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa 今歩き出す 風の行方に身を任せ 果てし無き道を
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa 大地を踏みしめ 輝きに消える獣道 はるか遠く
私を待っているのは きっと光の大地
目に映る水の像は 偽りだらけのオアシス
見えるものを追いては 必ず何かを失い ふと見上げた大空 涙こぼれぬよう
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa また歩き出す 振り向いては幼き頃の 自分に見送られ
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa 大地を蹴って 地平線へ消える道 はるか彼方
私を待っているのは きっと悲しみのない世界
もう戻ることはない 戻ることはできない あの日流した涙 心に刻んで・・・
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa 歩き続ける あの日誓った“約束”を 手に握り締めて
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa 大地を蹴って 光に消える獣道 はるか彼方
私を待っているのは きっと輝ける世界 -- Rera
Why the drifting clouds sing a sorrowful melody?
I cannot escape I cannot turn back The things I can believe in are the sun And the wind’s guidance
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa I now begin to walk I surrender myself to the course of the wind On a path without end An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa Stepping firmly on the ground An animal trail vanishing in the radiance Far in the distance
What awaits me is without doubt, a land of light
The watery images in my eyes are an oasis full of falsehoods
To pursue that what you see Always means losing something Casually I look up to the heavens So that my tears won’t spill
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa Again I begin to walk I look over my shoulder at my childhood self Seeing me off
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa Kicking the ground Far beyond, the path vanishes into the horizon
What awaits me is without doubt, a world with no sorrow
I cannot escape any longer I cannot turn back The tears that flowed that day are etched in my mind…
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa Continue to walk The “promise” I swore that day Is held tightly in my hand
An Kamuiru Peka Rera Ikesampa Kicking the ground Far beyond, the animal trail vanishes in the light
What awaits me is without doubt, a shining world | comments: Leave a comment  |

I found out this Nico Douga thing And released some songs as a joke Astounded by Strobo Nights, I got my hands on Vocaloid “Hatsune Miku”
The number of songs increases in a fairly good pace The level of recognition rises gradually A video’s thumbnail is the first bad omen The character art in the thumbnail looks bad
A major release comes out It’s time to invest money in the video’s thumbnail My attitude changes depending on who I’m dealing with Some projects are getting shut down
Within the enclosure you love, Music is becoming limited Lovely songs, lovely drawings They are your YES / NO “VOCALOID”
In a community closed to outsiders Music is being collected Lovely songs, lovely drawings Riding on electro-magnetic waves, “Vocaloid (laugh) ”
