Q: How are the lyrics arranged?
A: Pretty much however I wanted to arrange them. Each time I put up lyrics by a new artist, that artist goes at the bottom of the list of lyrics. In each artist's section, the lyrics are separated by album. The albums go in chronological order.
Q: How do you translate the lyrics?
I try to make the lyrics/romanizations look as close as possible to what they look like in the lyrics booklet. As for the translations, keep in mind that a lot of them are rather literal and I only took creative liberties when I felt that there was no good literal way to translate a line or phrase. So you get lines like "Your sadness is simply sad," from "finale" by L'Arc~en~Ciel.
Q: How do you decide which lyrics to put up?
A: All the lyrics that I type out/romanize/translate are lyrics from songs that I like.
Q: Why are some songs translated and others aren't?
1. I'm too lazy to do it.
2. I lost the original lyrics and now I forget what the original kanji/other characters were.
3. I haven't come up with a good way to translate it yet.
4. I'm lazy.
Q: Why do you have so many L'Arc~en~Ciel lyrics? Are they your favorite band or something?
A: I have a lot of their CDs. I like their music, but they're not my favorite band.
