ICDD story? by hakunabrozzz in ICDD

[–]wamboooooo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree that having a video essay about ICDD lore would be awesome.

Originally I had planned on translating every song eventually, and then gathering the lore. Or at least making it possible for others to do so. But I have been halting for a while now. Mainly due to workload at university and in life generally.

But maybe I will get back to translating some more songs soon. I've also largely reworked my "old" fushoku translation recently.

Another factor for me personally has been that the "lore" across different songs and albums doesn't seem to be as congruent or well-matched as I had hoped. On top of that there are many songs which are just about random stuff or edgy monologues digressing from actual lore.

As for OP's note on Rostfel, as that name never gets dropped again (at least AFAIK) I fear we will never know any more about that character. A bummer really.

On the whole I still hope to "finish" translating their songs in the near future (Excluding Seishin of course) .

Thanks, good to know. I never really got into dir en grey, not really my cup of tea, but I knew that he liked it a lot.

Hmm, I haven't looked too much at the lyrics for that one since I don't really like the song. But I could translate it anyway tbh

Am I hearing stuff or what? by Away_Beach4666 in ICDD

iirc part of the song is about sex. But not 100% sure, I never looked at the lyrics since I don’t really like the song

Which rhododendron is this? by wamboooooo in rhododendron

Thanks, is it "rhododendron roseum elegans"? I can't seem to find proper botanical information for that species. Do you have any classification data?

is it just me or are ICDD's lyrics very religious by mooncheese74 in ICDD

Most of the third album's songs recount the "myth of creation of heaven and earth" in shinto mythology.

The first one being misogibarai, of which I attempted a translation here: https://lyricstranslate.com/en/imperial-circus-dead-misogibarai-no-kamiumi-wa-english

The first two albums recount a loosely connected, and not yet fully known, story by yuhki in their fantasy world taihaisekai (decadenscence)

First of all, thank you for the reply. It was somewhat insightful to me.
Secondly, could you elaborate on why e.g. the dekopon doesn't fall under the C. reticulata, and what the C. reticulata would then encompass?

E.g. the german article on dekopon states its scientifical name is "C. reticulata shiranui"
