These are some song translations I've done; if you have problems with them, please email me, but please remember that I'm not fluent in Japanese and don't claim to be. I've taken some poetic license, but I've tried to mark where I did so.

- Yakusoku wa Iranai
- is the beautiful opening song to that incredible anime, Tenkuu no Escaflowne, (Vision of Escaflowne). Even my baby sister loves it. This is quintessential Hitomi.
- Mystic Eyes
- is the ending song for Escaflowne. Much harsher than the opening song, but good. I like to think it's more Van's style, complementing Hitomi's.
- Itooshii Hito no Tame ni
- is the opening song for my personal favorite anime of all time, Fushigi Yuugi. Does that make itooshii my favorite anime song of all time? Better believe it ^_^
- Kachou Fugetsu
- is a Chichiri (sigh...) single from Fushigi Yuugi.It shows his more serious side (without the mask).
- Yuzurenai Negai
- is the opening song for the first season of Magic Knight Rayearth, CLAMP's wonderful contribution to the post-Sailor-Moon generation of Bishoujo anime. Not as twisted as Utena, but I've heard second season gets more so. There are two versions of this song played in the first season; I tend to prefer the quieter one that shows up during an episode near the end. But the lyrics are the same.
