Tasogare-iro no Utatsukai

[Mystrael]

On a totally random note, chapter one is 9/47 pages done (~20%). But next week is homework week for me, so don't expect much more until May.

Well...... I lied. Homework got too boring, so I found myself working on this more than I expected. But now i'm more stressed on homework... -sigh-
And so, Chapter 1 (1st play) is up~

@chancs, Kira0802:
Thanks, I've decided to keep it as Oath-maker for now, unless something in that chapter proves it should be different.

@caitnap:
It's fine as long as you enjoy it I'm just happy that people like what I've taken my time to work on!

Somehow I find the story synopsis a bit confusing, could you please rephrase it?

I've only been reading the novels as I translate, so sadly I'm only on chapter 2 so far...

I've created a new synposis after combining elements from the Japanese wiki, Crazy-Cake synopsis, and CE Translations review. Although it is quite different from the previous synposis, I hope that it sounds somewhat better and less confusing...

Also, I'm probably not going to translate much this week. All of last week's procrastination is now slowly killing me


Edit:
Need some help with translating... What would 奏でる少女の道行きは be in English? (the title of Volume 2)
I'm not exactly sure how to translate "奏でる少女", or "咏唱少女" for any Chinese people out there. From the Chinese, it should be something like "The girl who sings", but 奏でる = playing an instrument...

I'm thinking the whole thing would be something like "The road that the girl who sings is going down is..." but that seems kind of long and awkward for a title. Not to mention the terrible English grammar of that phrase, which I'm not sure how to make better without losing some of its meaning.

"the girl who play"? (i like how this one sound)

from google translate:
咏唱= aria

girl's aria
aria of a girl

hmm... instrument(jap version) become song(chinese ver)?

1. Check what instrument the girl is playing. For example, if the girl is playing music with her voice (guessing from the synopsis ^^), then she would be a songstress (literally a "singing girl").

2. While "道行き" primarily means "way" or "eloping", it can also mean "lyrics", "aria", "melody"

With those in mind, I think you can figure out the title. Like for example, "The Songstress' Aria"

Thank you, I had completely forgotten about the word "Songstress"!

As for the translation of "道行き", I think "aria" would fit quite well, considering the chinese version that "咏唱" = aria. However, the full chinese title is "咏唱少女将往何方", something like "Which direction will the [Aria girl] go", leading me to believe that "道行き" also holds its meaning of "way".
So many confusing double meanings! @_@

So after pondering it over, I'm thinking something like "The Way of the Aria's Songstress" would fit the best, encompassing both the Chinese meaning and the Japanese pun/two meanings of "道行き".

"Mystrael from Baka Tsuki has began work on Tasogare-iro no Uta Tsukai. For those who don't know, it's a series that takes place in the same universe as Hyouketsu Kyoukai, but on a much earlier timeline.

I had said before that you don't really need the knowledge of Uta Tsukai to read Hyouketsu Kyoukai, but the story will be much more interesting with the background knowledge. Especially when Hyouketsu Kyoukai gets into vol 4 onward."

is what i saw in the Hyoketsu VOL3 in CE....well i really like hyouketsu kyoukai,so i'd definitely want to see this translated lolz nyaa~

On a different note... I've also PM'ed onizuka-gto about upgrading it into a full project. Can I put on the 'project pending' tag right now, or do I have to wait for his reply?

[Mystes]

Reminds me of Oni's PM. Damn, I had to look through it:

Dear Larathian & All Baka-Tsuki Staff,

The link you provided contains only a unedited new page, perhaps they have yet to start it or it has been moved?

In future, is it possible for you to tag all projects that will need approve or close to it?

You can tag them with this:
