[Lyrics/Eng Translation] StylipS - Junsui na Fujunbutsu 純粋なフジュンブツ


I blame Osu! for making me like this song. lol I've been addicted to the game lately. I love how you can just easily delete and add new songs. It's a great way of finding new songs to listen to.

So this is apparently the OP of Mangaka-san to Assistant-san. I didn't even know that until I looked it up. I needed a break from translating manga and typing up scripts, so I decided to just translate this song.

Support them by getting a copy of their album!







純粋なフジュンブツ 
Junsui na Fujunbutsu
Pure Impurities

English:


I said it’s fine that way!
I won’t say it… No way! It’s a secret!

Love is righteous? “Therefore?”
Love is strong? “Strong!”
The honest me is the best!
But where is your heart facing?
Are you not looking at me properly?

Drawing near and moving away
Is the staircase to love
Should I climb it? I’ve decided!

Pure impurities
I realized my heart was throbbing more than usual
Ya, ya, ya, how troubling!
It’s fine that way
It’s fine if you guys fail
It’s like I want to tell you someday what I haven’t told you yet

Waiting is pleasant? “No way!”
Waiting is lonely? “It’s painful!”
I wish the time we’ll meet will hurry up and come right away!
I mean, thinking about you isn’t enough! Your existence is my vitamin!
You keep me in good spirits!

I want to be with you always
This is love, isn’t it?
Listen to my painful heartbeats!

Confession strategies
When hesitation becomes a hindrance, I cast a sidelong glance that says “What do I do?!”
Wa, wa, wa, I’ll scowl!
It’s fine this way, isn’t it?
It’s fine if you guys fail, however,
In the end… you’re just… dense! You still don’t know?

Drawing near and moving away
Is the staircase to love
Should I climb it? I’ve decided!

Pure impurities
I realized my heart was throbbing more than usual
Ya, ya, ya, how troubling!
It’s fine that way
It’s fine if you guys fail
It’s like I want to tell you someday what I haven’t told you yet
What I haven’t told you yet



Romanji:

Kanji:

そのままだっていいんだよ 
言わないよ...だめっ内緒だもん 

好きは正しい? ”ゆえに?” 
好きは強い? ”つよい!” 
正直な自分がいちばん 
だけど君の心 どこ向いてるんだろう 
私のことちゃんと見てないの? 

近すぎて遠くなるのが 
恋への階段 
私は昇ろうかな? 決めて! 

純粋なフジュンブツ 
ときめきを持ってあましてると気づいた 
やーやーやー、困るな! 
そのままだっていいんだよ 
君らしくっていいんだよ 
なんていつか言いたい まだ言わないのっ 

待っては嬉しい? ”いやよ!” 
待っては孤独? ”つらい!” 
会いに来て いますぐ急いで 
だって足りない想い 君の存在はビタミン 
私のこと元気にしてよ 

いつまでも一緒にいたい 
恋だねこれが 
私の切ない鼓動 聞いて! 

告白のカケヒキ 
ためらいが邪魔してる どうしよう横目で 
わーわーわー、睨んじゃう! 
ありのままっていいよね 
君らしくっていいけれど 
つまり...だから...鈍感! もう知らないっ 

近すぎて遠くなるのが 
恋への階段 
私と昇りたいの? 決めて! 

純粋なフジュンブツ 
ときめきを持ってあましてると気づいた 
やーやーやー、困るな! 
そのままだっていいんだよ 
君らしくっていいんだよ 
なんていつか言いたい まだ言わないのっ 
言わないのっ

[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:


咲き誇れ 純情可憐書店屋ガール
Uh-oh Uh-oh
シャイな見た目 控えめなBody

君はオトメ 今日も漫画の海へ
飛び込んで 入れ込んで 想像の中へ

夢があっていいじゃない
君の世界さ ベイベー
はしゃぎ回れ 心のままに
無我夢中でいいじゃない
でもひとつ忘れないで
大切なことを

君はビューティフォー
とてもビューティフォー
キライキライキライキライキライって 鏡見てても
愛はここよ
気づいてビューティフォー
君はビューティフォー
毎度毎度 君への想いが空回りするだけ
ビューティフォー

かたやクラスの女子は
ファッション誌広げて お買い物計画
Uh-oh Uh-oh
愛想笑って ちんぷんかんぷん

ボタニカルのワンピース?
足元はエスパドリーユ?
サロペット?ジレ?デニム
つなぎはオールインワン

気にしなくていいじゃない
君の自由さ レイデー
財布のヒモは好きなモノのために
焦らなくていいじゃない
無理に歳をとらないで
思い描いた未来へ

君はビューティフォー
すでにビューティフォー
毎度毎度 情熱のかけ方が少し不器用なだけ
ビューティフォー

君はビューティフォー
とてもビューティフォー
キレイキレイキレイキレイって 鏡見るのは
大体 悪い魔法使いよ
気づいてビューティフォー
君はビューティフォー
毎度毎度 君への想いが空回りするだけ
ビューティフォー

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
