I finally got a copy of this rare album. I added images: case (front, back), booklet (front, back, all pages), disc 1, disc 2, tray, back, and Obi.

I added lyricist, composer, arranger, and vocalist credits for the three vocal tracks based on the information in the booklet. Can someone please link this album up to the corresponding artists' pages, please? Thanks!

I went through and overhauled a bunch of the English translations for this as several of them were off or incorrect. A few of them still feel a bit unnatural but I'm not sure how to improve them. Anyone else is free to have a go at them.

Does anyone have a good idea for how to translate Disc 1 Track 22 "手放せぬ日常"?

Also, the arrangers and performers I added from the booklet still need to be approved and linked. Can someone do that, please? Thanks!

Yeah, that's kind of the interpretation I was thinking, but it just seems so wordy. What about something like "Unchanging Days" or "Monotonous Routine"? Maybe that kind of interpretation is too liberal without context...

After speaking to a friend who translates for a living, I ended up going with "A Life Worth Living". He took it in a more positive sense, whereas we were focusing on a negative connotation. After listening to the track, the negative sense of the word doesn't fit at all. I think interpreting it as "a life I don't want to let go of" is more accurate.
