[Loserbait]

One of our favourite GF/DM artists, Maki, will be performing in the next few days. Yes, I know Maki is also a Pop'n artist but I figure I remember her songs from GF/DM than Pop'n (there is a catch... I LOVE all Maji-SKA feat. Maki songs).

Also, from what I gather, ClubDAM will be releasing an anime DVD of various anime songs (among others) including: Sumomo mo Momomo, Negima!?, Ghost In The Shell: S.A.C. Solid State Society as well as the Prince of Tennis musical. In any case, you can also find a well-known Anettai Maji-SKA Bakudan feat.Maki track on there:

Corrections to this are more than welcome (and I'll edit, accordingly). It's early morning and I just woke up...

Edit: Thanks for the corrections, AlphaConqerer =]

Further translation work (my interpretations), though your kan'ji work seems fairly spot on to me Loserbait.

- 光の地へ (hikari no chi e)　　　　: hmmm, chi takes so many meanings; earth, center, ground, nature. I guess my stab would be "To the earthlight".
　　　
- 太陽の近いこの場所で　(taiyou no chikai kono basho DE) "At this place near the sun"　　　　　 　　
- 消えない沁み (KIenai shimi) "The stain that won't wash away"

Anyhow, man hope somebody can go to this. I really like Maki's work =/ it'd be awesome to get this CD!

I thought she worked for Konami?

[AlphaConqerer]

Well, as far as I know, and especially for vocalists, it seems Konamin only licenses them for a song (which occasionally Konami's in-house artists have written already, they just need lyrics and a lyricist) but they are still free to write and distribute their own independent music, as long as they don't use the same songs they helped to create for Konami.

A good example of this is Thomas Howard Lichenstein, who has his own website and creates his own albums without Konami backing, but unfortunately this means he also can't use songs like "Depend on Me" or "Stop Spinning Me in Circles," or "Silent Hill" unfortunately (at least as far as I know).
