It appears that it might not have been eminent in the October blog theme post, so I am reposting this as a post on its own. This is a formal request to all who know Japanese and are interested in helping me out here with the following songs, as to finding their Kanji lyrics, putting them in Romanji, and then translating them. Read more to find out about how you can help.

Before I go on, the four songs are:

- Gen’ei by Inoue Kikuko (Miria’s character song from Claymore, Claymore Intimate Persona ~Character Song Shuu~)
Romanji lyrics can be found over at AnimeLyrics. I am looking as well for the Kanji, and the English translation.

- sad rain by Misato Aki (ED1 of Blassreiter)
Romanji lyrics can be found over at OnlyLyrics, I am also looking for the Kanji for this one and its English translation.

- Ai no Tame ni by Sakakibara Yui (Nagasarete Airantou Character Image Album - Kiichatte Shima no oto Soto ni; insert song of last episode)
For this one I am looking for the Kanji, Romanji and the English translation. Here is, thankfully, a snapshot of the scan of the Kanji lyrics to Ai no Tame ni, I will appreciate if someone can put it in type that I can copy/pasta off.

- Kotoba wa Iranai by Atari Kousuke & Han Xue (Song inside ED13 single for Bleach, Tane wo Maku Hibi)
There are not even scans of this song’s lyrics, so if anyone actually has the real single, please scan or take a picture of the lyrics and upload for everyone. Looking for the actual lyrics, Romanji, and will likely try and do the English translation but would hardly mind anyone sending in translations of their own. Note as well that this song is sung in both Japanese and Chinese.

 

Here, I am asking for help from anyone who feels like finding and/or submitting the lyrics to each, some, or all of these songs. You can also translate them if you want, what I will do with your submitted translation is combine it with any others that send it in, and try to come up with an utterly meaningful and colorful English translation, whilst giving credits to all who sent in translations, of course. These 4 songs will constitute, where possible, the Songs of the Week.
 

To send in your translations, you can find me in IRC at the Rizon server (irc.rizon.net) in channel #TeamBlue and DCC me the files, or just email me at pantherrh -at- gmail -dot- com.

So please, if you can, do help me, and any others looking for the translations to these songs, out. Thanks!
