BLJS-10180: Tokitowa Original Soundtrack & Special Voice Drama

[Efendija]

Shouldn't the title be Toki to Eien ~Tokitowa~ (時と永遠～トキトワ～) because 永遠 is read えいえん (eien)?

[Myrkul]

Maybe, i said a million times i personally can't read Japanese.
Feel free to correct any of my entries.

[Efendija]

The subtitle is another word play or something: トワ is katakana towa (eternity) so by shortening toki to towa -> tokitowa lol, but eien also means eternity (from the main title) though the problem is 永遠 can only be read (I *think*) as eien...

Also Firefox (you're maybe using it too) overlaps some lines here



from the image



but Internet Explorer doesn't do that:



so I've replaced the image.

Have to check with Phonograph to see if this is one of those cases where Tokitowa is meant to be the creative reading for 時と永遠.

[Efendija]

Well Phonograph can always change it to whatever he thinks is right.

[Efendija]

hmmm looking more at the stuff here:

http://tokitowa.channel.or.jp/information.html

we got characters named Toki & Towa, so maybe a double meaning is still in place: main title for time (toki) and eternity (eien) as abstract nouns, and subtitle for katakana mix of characters names..... Interesting title anyways :D

[Phonograph]

the official site seems to have the title capped, but... it's maybe ok without caps
bah, it could be re-edited to capped if it bothers someone

edit: for the little info, 永遠 is indeed "eien" but it can be read as "towa" too (often used for songs btw)

it's more than that, Towa is another personality of Toki
Tokitowa is probably stuck to mean it's the same person

Is the soundtrack going to have a standalone release??

[Cedille]

Likely, especially if this release contains only several tracks from the game.

I'm guessing they aren't releasing a full soundtrack now...
