GUSTCD-10002: SUZUNO=MIYA Ar tonelico III hymmnos concert side. Red

[Don]

Wow. They must have read my mind. I always thought that Hirota would be fantastic for the Hymmnos part of Ar Tonelico...and now, it happens. This is awesome!

[LiquidAcid]

Trimmed a lot of whitespaces in the notes field.

I noticed that there a only vocalist credits in the notes, although the booklet scans also credit chorus work. Most of the time it's identical, but e.g. not on track 2 - can someone please take a look?

[Revoc]

藤本記子 = Noriko Fujimoto made the chorus work on track 2.

[Cedille]

When I added that note, only the vocalist credit was available (it's several days before the releases) and I didn't intend to merge the chorus credit with the vocal credit at my own discretion. I actually transcribed both in the other entry.

By the way, I'm not sure how to classify these hymmnos albums. The several preceding albums were sumitted under a single classification of either Vocal or Arrangement, but I've heard some songs are actually used in the game (if shortened or slighly different) and there are some original compositions...

[LiquidAcid]

Didn't mean to criticize you Cedille

[Cedille]

Yeah, I knew it (and I actually appreciate about being corrected. I wasn't even aware there were needless whitespaces...).

[LiquidAcid]

There also seem to be some mixed tabs and spaces at some positions, but I'm going to fix this later. I mostly notice this when parsing the notes field to get it into something I can easily feed into the masstagger to fb2k.

Could 風標 be "weathervane" instead of the recently edited "symbol of the wind"?

Also, I wonder if GUSTCD-10002 is just some kind of internal Gust Catalog Number. According to CDjapan, the release cat number is KDSD-10043, though it would still be nice to confirm with an Obi of some kind.

I got 風標 means "weathervane" (is "wind vane" a correct synonym? I used it for style) from this online dictionary.
"Symbol of the wind" seems overly literal to me, but I'm not familiar with the game.

Yeah, it's perfectly fine. "Weather vane" is more common, in my experience anyway, but "wind vane" is also pretty common.

Actually, after looking through the lyrics and translating them, I still think that "Symbol of the Wind", despite its literalism, is a more preferrable translation for the name of the second track.

Speaking about lyrics, I just stumbled upon this site:

I really like the XaaaCi lyrics, knowing them makes the song even more powerful
