Your Complete Atomic Future

.

With the translation of "Ai no Souretsu," at last, we have completed translations for all the songs on Atom Miraiha No. 9. You can go check them out over at This is NOT Greatest Site. For the first time in our history, not only have we written extensive translation notes for each and every song on the album, but each set of English lyrics is also singable with the original melody. If I do say so myself I think a lot of them came out very well in that regard, so I encourage you all to try singing them.

I probably wouldn't have written so many translation notes, but for the fact that I keep hearing from you readers about how much you love the notes and how much you wish there were more of them. Thus, I endeavored to deliver. This was all for you, folks. So if you enjoyed the notes and the translations, please leave us a comment on this post to let us know. We spent far more time translating this album than any other and we'd love to hear your reactions.

And when you need a break from Atom Miraiha, go ahead and listen to this tribal ambient deep house DJ set "SOL," by DJ Nu. Cum uh Sol Nu indeed.

Also, check out this video of Auto-Mod performing their song "Toki no Souretsu" at the most recent edition of the Toki no Souretsu concert series, held on March 21st, 2015 at Koenji High. For those of you who don't already know, the backing vocalist is counter-tenor drag queen Selia, who also did backing vocals on Buck-Tick's album Tenshi no Revolver, on the tracks "Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight" and "Revolver."

Also, if you liked Buck-Tick's "Ai no Souretsu," check out London After Midnight's "Sacrifice"...



...and Sawada Kenji's "Toki no Sugiyuku Mama ni." This guy was one of Sakurai's favorites growing up, and a clear influence. He's old now, but have a look at him when he was young and beautiful, and dig that leather mesh costume!
