Dancing in the velvet moon

Dancing in the velvet moon is one of the songs on Nana Mizuki’s new mini album STARCAMP EP, and it also happens to be the ED theme to Rosario + Vampire‘s unbearably fanservicy anime adaptation, which, I shall once again take the opportunity to remind everyone, is a travesty to the awesome page-turner that is the original manga.

Lyrics translation and more fanboying after the break.

Dancing in the moon
Nana Mizuki

hakugin no honoo ten wo kogashite
tatoe kokoro hikisaitemo
anata dake ni sasagetai no
watashi no mune no juujika wo

nemuranai VELVET no tsuki
kazarareta himitsu no heya
futari kiri sotto kagi wo kake
odorimashou itazura na toki ni yudanete

yasashiku hi wo tomoshita CANDLE no youni anata
aa torokasete agemashou
chikainasai eien wo

ai no kusari dare nimo kowasenai
amaku kiyora na jumon wo kakete
anata dake ni yurusareru no
kinjirareta MELODY sae mo
jiyuu kakeru tsubasa ni naru
tsukamaete… hayaku watashi wo

akeru koto wo wasureta yoru ni
torawareta hoshi no izumi
hitori kiri sotto inoru youni
yume wo miyou sameru koto nai yume wo

yami no naka shibarareta watashi wo mitsukedashite
aa kuruoshii sono kaori de
tsutsumikonde ima sugu ni

hakugin no honoo maiagaru sora
subete nomikonde kieusete mo
anata dake wo motometeru no
uzuku kodou wa tomerarenai
majiwaru futatsu no tamashii ga
itsuka kiseki okosu yo

unmei wa kimatteru no?
kaeru koto wa dekinakute mo
watashi nara atarashii inochi no kaze fukikonde ageru

ai no kusari dare nimo kowasenai
amaku kiyora jumon kakete
anata dake ni yurusareru no
kinjirareta MELODY sae mo
jiyuu kakeru tsubasa ni naru
tsukamaete hayaku… saa watashi wo

Dancing in the velvet moon
Nana Mizuki

The silver flames engulf the sky.
Though my heart may be torn asunder,
I want to give myself only to you;
Please accept my true self that is this cross.

The unsleeping velvet moon
Adorns this secret room.
The two of us are alone. I quietly lock the door.
Let’s dance and lose ourselves in this playful moment.

Like a candle lit by a gentle flame,
I let my heart be softened by you.
Pledge me your eternity.

No one can break the chains of love.
Cast a sweet bewitching charm on me.
Only you can accept my primal instincts,
My forbidden melodies:
Now they too can soar free.
Hurry… Catch me.

In the night that has forgotten to end,
A fountain of stars lies trapped.
It is alone, silently as if praying,
For a dream that it doesn’t need to awake from.

Find me in the darkness that binds me.
Oh, this sweet scent is driving me crazy.
Please let it embrace me, right now.

The silver flames dance in the sky.
Even if they swallow up and erase everything,
I ask only for you to be here.
This throbbing heartbeat just won’t stop.
Our entwined souls
Will someday produce a miracle.

Is fate predetermined?
Even if it can’t be changed,
I can surely breathe new life into it.

No one can break the chains of love.
Cast a sweet bewitching charm on me.
Only you can accept my primal instincts,
My forbidden melodies:
Now they too can soar free.
Hurry… Catch me, I am here.

This song suits Moka really well. It’s so awesome. I hadn’t loved a Nana song this much since her 2002 single suddenly ~meguriaete~, which if you think about it is already more than half a decade old. Time passes fast. (Yeah I said it: I didn’t like those Nanoha songs! So there.)

According to houkoholic, who is the undisputed authority on seiyuu stalking appreciation, STARCAMP EP suffers from really terrible clipping. I didn’t really think it was a technical issue; I thought the clipping effect was what the producers were going for. I guess I’m just too used to overly-amplified synthesized music.

I should really find real stuff to blog about.

As usual, you can get the CD for this song from Amazon JP.
