angemediaA long while ago, I had the stupid idea to translate all the songs included in the Avec Toi pour Jamais Koi Suru Tenshi vocal compilation album. Like most things associated with KST, this turned out to be a major waste of time and not really worth it. Still, the work is done, so for what it's worth: old and .txt | new HTMLness
The .txt file is plain and straightforward; the HTML is easier to navigate but contains my obnoxious commentary on song content, so your call.
"Bonus": I feel that dream posts aren't at all tedious or nonsensical and never, ever a self-indulgent waste of time - don't you? So I had this dream that Lumiale was in the Mafia and it was my job to drag him in to testify and serve, I believe, a jail sentence. I don't think he was a hitman, but he had indeed done bad things. He, however, had not come to terms with that fact. (He acted much like the same gentle Lumiale we know, not a hardened criminal, and was wearing the same trenchcoat he did in the Twin Collection cover. He did not resist arrest or beg for clemency in any way but was calmly convinced that he did not deserve to go to jail. I recall being struck that it was kind of sad, actually, that he had done a great many horrible things but was in deep, perhaps deliberate denial about his guilt.)
I met him and picked him up at a happy, sunlit, rather clinical maze of a preschool where he was being kept (awfully office-like, this preschool, with no actual kids when I visited and walls painted with darker blue-greens in the inner twisting halls). After a conversation with him there, I managed to get him to an airport (that I don't think actually exists) in Poughkeepsie, New York, with eventual plans to transport him to New York City for his testimony. At the airport, though, while I was indisposed, Clavis (wearing a brown jacket and a rather smart maroon-purple-black striped shirt) just strolled out of one of the terminals, nonchalantly took Lumiale by the elbow, and spirited him away.
I'm fairly certain there was a car chase at this point, but I don't recall it being anything more than low-key - no surprise, considering that Clavis was involved. He must've been effective, though, since he won rather handily; most of what I remember is driving around Poughkeepsie looking, presumably, for the getaway vehicle and not finding it. (I vaguely recall my father, who lives in Poughkeepsie, being at fault in some capacity here, as I recall talking to him in rather irate disbelief over the phone during the chase, but if I had gotten as far as Poughkeepsie and was planning to transport Lumi the short hop to NYC by *airplane*, then I frankly deserved to lose him.)
I would with trepidation ask the comm what this all means, but I feel the "Clavis pwns all" moral is obvious.

The Clavis point is a given in any situation, dream or no dream, haha.
Definitely an interesting dream, suffice to say. I would be very interested to know what exactly Lumiale managed to do to go to jail. It's always the quiet ones . . .

Date: 2010-09-06 03:07 pm (UTC)Yeah, I don't know! I wish I did. That's the killer part of it; I know what Lumi did was indeed grave and I believe involved the loss of life, but I never learned the exact nature of his crime(s) in the dream. (My conscious mind didn't, at least; dream-me knew, obviously.)

Date: 2010-09-06 04:14 pm (UTC)except Luva means glove, roflso I can't help ya there, lol. Mel's song is so catchy, how can it be so angsty? It's still one of my favs though XD And yea, Ernst's song made the complete album purchase worth it :B [I might be biased though ^^;]Wow, that's a really epic dream; maybe Lumi is secretly a dream-hopper, lol, since he was in my first random NeoRoma dream too [only with Victor; most awkward pairing ever? o.O;]
Do you remember what you were doing the night before you went to bed? Sometimes that effects things. Although I was watching Inuyasha episodes at the time before I had the Lumi/Victor dream, so really maybe there is no logic XD

Date: 2010-09-07 02:38 am (UTC)I know! I thought the same thing about Luva's - and I liked Arios's song a great deal more before I listened to it closely. What's with this album having so many sad/tragic songs? And how did Francis's escape being one of them, despite its title (oh, Lordy, that title)? (And why does little Mel - well, not-so-little Mel now, but you know - have to suffer?)
(LOL at Luva in Portuguese, BTW. You'd think it'd at least have the dignity to translate to "turban.")
Do you remember what you were doing the night before you went to bed?
It does factor in - I was looking up LoveLove Tsuushin info on Koei's site in pursuit of the volumes I'm apparently missing. I did see that trenchcoat somewhat right before going to sleep, as I stumbled across the Twin Collection site linked in the OP in my search. Y'know - on the volume where Lumi's with Victor.
...Hey.
Does this mean that Twin Collection Vol. 8 is the Neoromance version of the video from The Ring, except with loopy Lumiale dreams as the reward instead of waterlogged death?

Date: 2010-09-07 03:48 am (UTC)And LOL possibly, I think I had been watching the Twin OVAs earlier that month, although my memory is kinda sketchy ^^; I *had* watched it at least once before it happened though. Now let's see if these dreams follow a sequence :B
I didn't really have any scary/wtfness going on in that dream, but I was inspired to inspect the actual places in my house they had appeared in when I woke up, just incase, since it seemed very real o.o I was disappointed that I got woken up at the wrong time ;>> [And no, it was nothing inappropriate XD]

Date: 2010-09-06 10:56 pm (UTC)Thanks for the translations, especially on Julious' song. I bought the CDs not to long ago, but I couldn't figure what the title on his song; much less how it was supposed to be spelled! D:
And your "obnoxious commentary" was great. It also reminded me why I only listen to three or four songs out of the nineteen. XD

Date: 2010-09-07 03:22 am (UTC)...This is getting eerie. Didn't watch Twin Collection Vol. 8 in any capacity around the same time, by any chance?
(I was going to ask jokingly if you were actually seeing Eugene instead, but even Eugene doesn't qualify as "really terrifying." I have to wonder what Lumi was doing; hey, maybe the missing part of my dream popped up in yours.)
Thank you for the kind words, by the way! ^_^ (Heh, Julious takes to French like Rayne does to Engrish.)

Date: 2010-09-07 02:36 pm (UTC)No, I didn't. :/
But now that I think back on it, I had just started reading the manga (that or I just received my Hoshi no Tiara artbook), and I had watched Majin Tantei Nougami Neuro with my sister that night. =_=;
Ah, things are clearer about where I got that dream, and why Lumi was so very much like Sai... 0.o;
But why was it about Lumiale? There's a mystery. I like the guy, don't get me wrong, but he's just not in my top three. :P

Date: 2010-09-07 02:00 pm (UTC)Etoile-era, it's dramatically OoC?
It does sound OOC personality-wise and sacrea-wise, doesn't it ? Pre-255 is probably the best bet for canon,
though in my head it's almost like White Labyrinth!Clavis all over again XDToshiyuki Morikawa must have a "no sucking" clause in his contract.
Probably. Granted I don't seiyuu-stalk him as much as I should, but I haven't come across a situation where Morikawa fails to impress.
Now, dreams, well... I've never dreamed of Lumiale before, evil or otherwise. I vaguely remember a nonsensical, work-safe dream about Nyx that probably might work adapted into a surreal humor-fic, but oh well ~ My two cents is that we're more likely to dream of a fandom and character we like in whatever setting conjured by the whims of our sub-conscious, although fandramon is correct in pointing out how these things can be utterly random. (Still, check your copy of Twin Collection for subliminal messaging, okay ? j/k)
