[Edit] Toaru Majutsu no Index II ORIGINAL SOUND TRACK 1 (#300378)

[Phonograph]

Changed track 16 from "Magic Book" to "Grimoire", as Grimoire is a more accurate translation, and is what the most common translation of this term in the Toaru fandom.

@Aspirety fandoms don't provide more accurate translations, they are often very bad for any translation stuff (like wikipedia, and I don't even speak about romanizations)

[Aspirety]

Okay but "Magic Book" is not a more accurate translation than "Grimoire", that's generally how people translate Madoushou.

Also, there is no text in the Toaru series which translates this as "Magic Book". The js06 translations of the novels, and the most widely accepted term by the fandom is Grimoire: https://toarumajutsunoindex.fandom.com/wiki/Grimoire

You could also use "Ancient Text" if you want to use the Yenpress translation, but that would require editing all terminology in all of the Toaru OSTs to match the Yenpress names of proper nouns in the series. As it stands, there is precedent on VGMDB with other Toaru soundtracks to use the terminology from js06's translations of the novels.

fan translations don't count

knowing the series, if the author meant grimoire, it'd have had a specific reading
in the absence of any specific reading, the more generic term would be more preferrable

[Aspirety]

Magic Book isn't a generic reading, it's a hyperliteral reading.

The kanji used is 魔道書, which in the Toaru series exclusively refers to Grimoires, books created with original magical knowledge that can have debilitating effects on people who read them, and which are indestructable. It's a well established concept that anyone who's read the series is familiar with.

Grimoire is also just, the most commonly accepted English translation of Madousho. If you search 魔道書 on Wikipedia, you get the article for Grimoire: https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%82...83%BC%E3%83%AB
