Wonky translation, especially track 10. The other track names are names of historical figures. I actually just used the track names from the parentheses ^^"

The title of the show could be translated as "Exuberance in the Genroku (Period)". According to Wikipedia, "a sense of optimism is suggested in the era, hence the name choice of Genroku meaning "Original happiness".

The NHK Symphony Orchestra does only perform the main theme, conducted by Kazuyoshi Akiyama. According to this low quality photo (), the other tracks are conducted by the composer himself. I just cannot figure out from the blurry text what ensemble/orchestra is performing.

Due to the nature of the poetic, abstract titles, I can’t guarantee 100% accuracy, but they should give you a good idea of the mood of each track. I sense very Japanesese-que sound from the titles…

Thank you!! :’D

There are too many metaphors… It’s an absolute nightmare to translate without the result sounding like broken English. The translation is not perfect by any means, but it should serve its purpose.

ooh i only have seen this now :/ Thank you again Salat for another Taiga score 🙂

Thank you very much!

Thanks.

Link Dead. Could anybody reup, please?. Thanks anyway, folks!
