Lyrics for “聖なる夜に”…

Monday, December 31st, 2007

The text below is a basic transcription of the romaji subtitles by Eclipse Productions for the insert song in the most recent episode of Rental Magica. I’d like to apologize in advance for any errors that may be there.

白い雪を駆けて
鈴の音聞こえる
どこへ森を抜け
橇が遣って来る
聖なるこの夜に
星に願い祈ろう

さぁ喜び歌おう今宵を
星は輝く照らす
楽しい鈴の音近ずく
柊のリイス目印にして

さぁ楽しく歌おう今宵を
星は導き照らす
聖者の子を信じ近ずく
樅の木のツリー飾りつけて
靴下には夢を詰めて眠ろう

さぁ皆で歌おう今宵を
星の夜空へ響く
サンタも歌うよこの歌
笑い声をメロヂイにして

さぁ一緒に歌おう今宵を
雪降るの地へ響く
歌声重なり広がる
込めて今日と心込めて
笑顔でまた過せるように祈ろう

I always enjoy transcribing romaji as it almost always helps expand my Japanese vocabulary. The main reason I did this though was really just for my own benefit as I tend to prefer “singing along” with Japanese lyrics over romaji lyrics (of course, I don’t actually “sing” since I suck, but anyway…). I also did this because I wanted to put in another jab at promoting this great episode to my readers. ;)

ひぐらしのなく頃に解 Ep. 15

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Not much really happened in this episode. I mean, really, so few things of interest actually occurred in this episode that I’d be hard pressed to really write anything meaningful about it. I will note that the bit with her father muttering the numbers was rather lame. To be honest, I can’t think of a better way for it to have been resolved myself, but man, was it cheesy or what?

Contrary to my predictions from the last episode, it seems that Koizumi really wasn’t actually a bad fellow after all. Since he was being so sorry and all in episode fourteen, I figured he was some sort of an evil person, but I guess not.

I had a quick glance at the previews and it seems that we’ll be back in modern time in the next episode. Of course, we could be getting more of this flashback with the preview for episode 16 actually acting as a preview of what is to come in episode 17. It’s quite plausible.
