Translation Marty Zone

  This is a continuation of an English-translated version of liner notes that were included in God Mars' first BGM collection. Whereas the first part discussed comments left by Mr. Toujoubeppu—the music selector for the show—this part will cover the comments left by composer Kei Wakakusa. Translated by "Yume". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- " This was the first anime I worked on: Rokushin Gattai God Mars " Composer: Kei Wakakusa "Rokushin Gattai God Mars" was the first anime I worked on. That's why I approached it with a great deal of enthusiasm. However, looking back at this project I realize I was driven by the desire to get it done properly, and so ended up rushing things. Because of the constrained schedule, I was really worried if I had enough time to finish everything I wanted. To compose so many tunes, I needed a whole month at the very minimum—but...

  The liner notes inside the gatefold pages of God Mars' first BGM collection release (K22G-7068) contain some comments left behind by Sei Toujoubeppu, the show's music selector, and Kei Wakakusa, the show's music composer. I decided to scan said comments back when I used to own a copy of this release and passed it off to someone else for translating. An English translation of these comments (courtesy of "Yume") can be found below :) This post will cover the comments written by Mr. Toujoubeppu. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "The challenges we faced while producing BGM for "Rokushin Gattai God Mars" Music Editor: Sei Toujoubeppu Kei Wakakusa was in charge of the music production for "Rokushin Gattai God Mars", and this is how we got to know each other. This was the first time Mr. Wakakusa had to work on an anime, which forced us to hold staff mee...

  So, as far as I know, Pony Canyon's vinyl releases of anime soundtracks never typically contained liner notes of any sort. Usually just a tracklist, lyrics, and a text description of the anime's story... This is where Kojika Monogatari  breaks the mold, though! Shockingly enough, the first page of the album's gatefold contents contain some notes left behind by show composer Koichi Sugiyama. Below is an English translation of said notes—it's a bit of a long read but I promise you it's worth it :) Translated by sotoo. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Music of Kojika Monogatari by Koichi Sugiyama Kojika Monogatari is not only a story that has touched many boys and girls, but also a story that stirs us adults to thought. It has a certain depth to it. It cannot be said that it is only a sweet story of the friendship between Jody, a boy, and Flag, a deer, since it also tack...

  Here's something interesting you guys might like! Several years ago, I posted onto YT an English-subbed version of the drama dialogue featured in the image album "Sono Go no Sengoku Majin GoShogun"—the album itself was an adaptation of a novel of the same name, taking place after the TV show. The vinyl record for the image album comes included with an insert booklet, of which there are liner notes from a certain somebody on the back page...show creator Takeshi Shudo! (I've only just recently found out it was Shudo this entire time lol) For the longest time I've always wondered what comments Shudo left behind. Previously I wasn't able to get anyone to translate much stuff for me but that has now changed—I introduce to you all an English-translated version of the notes Shudo wrote for this album. Thanks to Windii for translating! ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- "...
