[Lyrics/Eng Translation] Oishi Masayoshi - Junjoukaren Jotenya Gaaru 純情可憐書店屋ガール

This song came with Kimi Ja Nakya Dame Mitai. It's the 2nd song in the album. Still a pretty catchy tune. Personally, I like listening to extra songs added to the list of OSTs.

*Note: Romaji to be added soon

純情可憐書店屋ガール (Junjoukaren Jotenya Gaaru)

The Beautiful Bookshop Girl with a Pure Heart

歌：オーイシマサヨシ

作詞：大石昌良

作曲：大石昌良

Vocals: Oishi Masayoshi

Lyrics: Oishi Masayoshi

Arrangement: Oishi Masayoshi

English:

(Note: This song had a few fragmented sentences, which wouldn't make sense if I just translated them as they were, so I tried connecting them together to sound better in Eng)

The beautiful bookshop girl with a pure heart is in full bloom
Uh-oh Uh-oh
With a shy appearance and a modest body

You are a young lady who once again leapt into the sea of manga
Giving it her all for the inner world of imagination

Isn’t it nice meeting in dreams?
In your world, baby!
Isn’t it fine to be absorbed in my heart that’s turning merrily?
But don’t forget one thing
that’s very important!

You are beautiful
Very beautiful
Even if you’re looking at a mirror you hate hate hate hate hate
This is where love is
I realized you’re beautiful
You are beautiful
Each time, each time thoughts about you just race
Beautiful

On the other hand, a girl with class
Has a fashion magazine opened and a shopping plan.
Uh-oh Uh-oh
Laughing at civility and talking gibberish

A botanical one-piece?
Under her feet are espadrilles?
Overalls? Vest? Jeans?
Fastened by an all-in-one

Isn’t it fine to just pay no mind to it?
Your freedom, lady
The string of your purse is for the sake of things you like
Isn’t it fine to be impatient?
Don’t bother catching the unattainable age
Imagine the future

You are beautiful
Already beautiful
Each time, each time a part of your passion is just a bit awkward
Beautiful

You are beautiful
Very beautiful
So pretty pretty pretty pretty
Looking through a mirror,
What I see is basically an evil sorceress
Notice you’re beautiful
You are beautiful
Each time, each time thoughts about you just race
Beautiful

Kanji:

An Update on Black Diary

First off, we haven't given up on the game, just in case you're wondering. We've received reports of crashing and some errors, so we decided to re-do the script in a different language. Barnabas is doing case 1 while I'm working on case 2. Splitting the work like this slows down our progress but we're able to release the two cases at more or less the same time this way. As of this moment we've completed around 80% of it. There are also other factors contributing to the slow progress, but I won't go into that in detail cause a lot of it is personal.

Anyway, I hope you'll look forward to the updated case 1 and case 2! (And not kill us for the errors from the first release and the delay... but really, we apologize for that Dx)

.......

So, here are some random art for the sake of making this post longer. lol

And some concept art of Dr. Cohen and Colette. Colette changed so much. Seriously. xD

[Review] Alyssa

Title: Alyssa
Developer: Berri
Released: 2014
Genre: Horror, Puzzle


Note: This is the original version. They're currently working on a revamped version of the game. See updates here.

Summary:

Alyssa is a girl who lives in a mansion with her parents and two servants, William and Eleana. On her birthday, she decides to go for a picnic with her parents but they cancel, so she heads to their room to convince them and finds a demon there.

Comments:

Honestly, I have several complaints about the game, but don't let this stop you from playing. Overall, it's still enjoyable. Anyway, the save point is in an annoying place, where there are 2 demons walking around. (Thank goodness they fixed this in the revamped version) You'd be forced to dash every time you try to save and also after you save, which is annoying.

After playing several RPGmaker horror games some things start to get old and nothing feels new anymore, so if you're like me, you may feel a bit bored with the game. The puzzles are nothing new. Some of them you might have already encountered in other games. What does make this game worth playing is its mystery. (Though at some point in the game the plot is already pretty predictable... until you get to the ending and you're like wtf) What really happened?

The art in the game is alright. Alyssa turned out to be an adorable looking loli. The customized tiles look pretty good too. William looks like a girl though. As for the music, I'm hearing some familiar tunes there. Fits the atmosphere fine.

That painting on the right is your save point and heal.

Oh, and look what's guarding it!

Yeah. Little girl can blow up trees!

Seriously, I was expecting William to suddenly stop his goody-two-shoes act and reveal himself to be the mastermind. I mean, he's the person you'd least suspect. Didn't happen so... The WilliamxAlyssa ship lives!! (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧ But then in the end---*gets shot for almost saying spoilers*

[Walkthrough] Alyssa

Note: This is the original version, not the revamped

After Alyssa mentions something about looking for William

- Talk to knight statue blocking the kitchen
- Enter Alyssa's room
- Go to library and read a book on defeating demons
- Take Lantern inside library
- Examine sacred fire near the entrance
- Throw sacred fire on tree in Alyssa's room
- Examine bookshelf in Alyssa's room
- Get gallery key from the farthest room
- Unlock the room next to it
- Examine painting of woman
- Talk to knight statue
- Take vase in kitchen
- Go outside and fill up vase
- Throw water on sacred fire

Piano Room

- Take key from table

Don't pull ribbon in piano room
Don't pick up letter (unless you want to see End 2)

- Go to the library and read the books you were unable to reach (2nd shelf from the right, 2nd row)

Eleana and William's room

- Examine paintings
- Examine bookshelf
- Examine painting in Eleana's side of the room, press button
- Pick up Weird Key


- Go inside the room with many chairs, unlock door at the top
- When in the strange dimension, head up to the door
- Passcode: 26
- Pull switch located at the right-side area (should be visible as you head right)
- Exit through the right

2 of the choices below lead to the game freezing when you encounter Eleana and William. So, you can't see endings 3 and 4. I haven't tested it out myself (cause I got discouraged from continuing after getting the 2nd ending) but I assume the 3rd choice would lead to ending 1.

I need to save my family!
I've figured you out! - game freezes
I have a secret weapon


Endings:

Note: The developer uploaded a file that lets you see all four endings. You can download it here.

Ending 1: Faceless

Ending 2: Sacred Justice
- Pick up letter

Ending 3: Unloved

Ending 4: A Loving Family

[Review] Patty and Mr. Miles

Title: Patty and Mr. Miles
Genre: RPG, Comedy
Developer: BrownSugar
Console: PC
Playtime: 1-2 hours

Patty and Mr. Miles is a pretty short game with cutesy graphics and a town that reminds me of the Pokemon town maps. You can fish to earn money or increase your stats, and farm locos that you can use to heal yourself during battles (though really, it isn't necessary to even farm locos just to progress or win boss battles). There are also short side quests available when you talk to the other villagers.

Behind the cutesy exterior is a dark past waiting to be uncovered. Well, if you play the After Story that is. You can totally just stop at the main story and save yourself from the feels and all the weird stuff that happen in the after story. Sometimes, you're just better off not knowing.

I'd recommend this game to people who like the whole 'cute but violent' theme and who are into games with dark back stories. What I love about this game are the graphics and the comedy. I like how you can choose to either waste time by exploring and doing other things or head straight to the ending. I just wish they made the story lengthier and with more character development.

"We're not terrorists. Really."

Summary:

One day all the heads of the guys in the village got turned into animal heads including Miles'. They suspect that it's the wizard's doing so Miles and his girlfriend Patty head over to the Wizard's Tower to ask the wizard to reverse the so-called 'curse'. There, Miles discovers a secret about the wizard...

-After Story-

Miles and Patty become mayors, so they start having responsibilities like taking requests from the villagers. As they fulfill their duties, Miles begins to remember bits and pieces of his past. Then, things start falling apart...

Because the village needs one so badly!

Mini Guide:

You don't really need a walkthrough for this game, considering it's pretty straightforward, but here's some random info I managed to take down from playing. It's incomplete since most things available aren't necessary to even complete the game and I like saving time soo...

Sidequests:

1. Catch giant fish - John
- Just head to the second fishing lake and drop your line right in front of the sea dragon's face. Make sure the bait is right in front of its mouth.
- Go back and talk to John after

2. Convince Daryll not to move - Patricia
- Go to castle
- Talk to Jacob (merchant guy)
- Talk to John
- Bomb castle
- Reward: Veggie Box

3. Farming - Vince

Fishing:

I must admit. I am really terrible at fishing, but I managed to catch a bunch of fish that raised their stats high enough to easily KO bosses with a few moves. So, here are some fish and their corresponding stat increases:

Eel - HP
Sake - Defense
Ei - Special Attack
Beta - Attack

Badges:

??? badge - found in the tower (I forgot what the pic on the badge was, but this one you'll definitely encounter)
Ghost badge - found in the well
Snowman badge - found in the well

I love this couple. So cute!

Ending Conditions

12/22/14: Ok, Apparently there's a third ending which allows you to access a bonus playroom after. Thanks to Dyoti for pointing this out.

Since I haven't gotten the last ending yet, here are the conditions for all endings taken from 4 cat's site which I translated to English.

END1

When the notebook is filled up, there's an item you have to obtain before following Coco. (If you have it, a cutscene will follow)

To obtain the item, you have to satisfy the two requirements below. 

Condition 1: Put up a favorable impression when the little boy and two people are there.

Condition 2: Don't wreck Lyell's good spirits too much. (Restrain yourself from rude behavior and disregarding warnings.)

There's no need to walk around back and forth to obtain the item. Only, when you control Lyell, you cannot obtain the item between the time when he starts searching for "that room" and before you obtain the notebook.

END2

Follow Coco out the door while the notebook's pages are still incomplete. (When you collect all the pages, Lyell will say something to himself.)

END 3

Fulfilling the two requirements below is necessary:

Condition 1: Don't put up a favorable impression when the little boy and two people are there.
Condition 2: When Lyell has not yet read the memo on top of the table in the annex, end the game with the stuffed animals

Extra info for END3: To unlock the door inside the room with the stuffed animals, don't read the memo in the room where the boy hid. Read the 2 notebooks, one inside the pink room and another in the master's room.

Papina's Otaku Life Update #5: GigaP's Voice is Awesome x Anthology

I've been caught up doing translation work for Corpse Party mangas (Besides working on Black Diary). We just released the Eng translated first chapter of Corpse Party: Coupling x Anthology, a manga that focuses on some popular pairings from Corpse Party. The first chapter is Naho x Kibiki~ So, if you're up for reading it, it's over here.

Besides that, I've been fangirling over GigaP, his voice, and his latest album No Title! (Which was released on my birthday. OMG. It's fate! xD) I absolutely love the songs in that album~ Here's one of my favorites:

I just posted the lyrics to it too in this blog. You can have a look at them here.

If there's one light novel I would love to translate, it's Misao. I still have to obtain a copy of it though. It seems kinda lengthy, but I find the story intriguing for some reason.

I want cold somen noodles~
