What does けんきゃく mean (on track 3)? It's not translated in the English. Or is it redundant?

けんきゃく is just the (furigana) reading for 剣客 (specified because kenkaku is a possible reading too)

Updated tracklist based on this.
However, I'd like to get some clarification on the following tracks: 07 Scene Music: Previously it was 'Port City Building 1103' or something like that. The digital release says '13 Porttown' 12 Third Movement: I typed this into Google translate and all I got was 'swashbuckler' . 'The Scent of Bloodstained Blades on the Wind' sounds much different than 'Bloody Arms.' 22 Second Movement: 'Tulpa from the Hades' is a far reach from 'Distant Thoughts.' |

07 - There's a discrepancy between the kanji and the hiragana readings given for them. The hiragana would indeed be something like "13 Porttown" but the kanji read "1-13 Porttown." I don't know where the old version was getting "building" from.
12 - The first two characters mean "weapons" or "swordfight" and the last two mean "waft of a bloody stench." You can see how they fit together here. Google translate seems to have come up with something close-ish for the first compound and given up entirely on the second one. 22 - Looks like 常世 often refers to the underworld rather than distance, but I have no clue why they're mixing a Buddhist concept with Greek mythology.

Maybe they couldn't find a better name for 'the underworld?'
They already used 'Hell's Gate.' Is this supposed to be different? What's a good non-compromising translation? 'Manifestation from the Underworld?' 'Willed from Hell?' I don't feel like they were going for 'Thoughts from the Eternal World.' |
