EZCD-0020: Blood X Blood Akumajo Music History

[seanne]

I'm trying my hand at translating the missing parts of the English tracklist, but I need help with a few things. Namely these three; 教会にて, 炎の晩餐, 面. So if anyone has any apt suggestions please go ahead.

Hi seanne!

教会: Church
にて: Location (in / at)
So, "In Church" or "At Church". I guess it goes good with the word "Prayer".

炎: Flame
晩餐: Dinner / Supper
I think we should try not to make it possessive even though there is a の, and just say "Dinner Flame"... "Flame's Dinner" or "Dinner of Flame" both sound too weird.

面: I believe this can be a counter for stages in a video game. So I would probably write "1st Stage" rather than "Stage 1". Otherwise, it typically refers to a face or a surface. I think it makes less sense in the context of a video game though.

If anyone has any better suggestions, please share.

Thanks for the help. 炎の晩餐 was the one confusing me the most - 'Dinner' doesn't sound quite right in the context I feel, so I went with 'Feast' instead.

[Mortavia]

That sounds great! Actually, I went too quickly maybe, and "Dinner Flame" really isn't right because flame is before the possessive, so mine was kind of backwards. "Fiery" captures 炎の nicely.

Also, it occurred to me that you could use "Level" instead of "Stage" for the last one. Since the words are similar, and also closely related to a surface, it could be referring to the first level of the castle, and it could also help to differentiate it from all the other instances of "Stage" referring to a section of the game, rather than a section of the castle.

That's the first stage theme of Akumajou Special, though (面 is used a lot for video game "stages"). As to why the artist has used 3 different standards of location for this album, I have no idea.

made a bunch of dumb edits

Oh, well, there's video game context for you then! That's always the best source. 面 is most typically used for "stage" anyway. Thanks.
