Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, I was really unclear. When I said lyrics I really did mean singular lyrics, like you said--sentences and certain words. Not whole songs! I know a few of the kagepro translators, I would never expect it to be that bad.

After I made that post above I kind of realized that completely replacing them would be way overkill, considering that it's just some lines that need to be fixed (Well, Mekakushi Code needs a fair amount of work, but I think that's because it's a rather confusing song and doesn't make much sense???) on a number of the songs. (But yes, I did like the wording of the ones I linked you to--that just wasn't my rationale, haha.)

As for some examples of those lines... I just got back from a 7 hour drive, so I'm just gonna pull out some quotes from the Mekakushi Code page (it's always Mekakushi Code oh wow I'm sorry it's just fresh in my mind right now) that I remember off the top of my head. " You can't "import" your mistakes", for instance, should be something more like "Mistakes are still imported into me" or something to that effect--"boku ni" certainly doesn't mean "you", and "suru" is not a negative verb. " It is softening or not?" just... isn't what it says. "Nanka" is more or less a sentence filler in this case (it also does mean "softening" in some contexts--but I've never seen it that way), and should read more like "Is there nothing here?". Finally, " I deflect like PIKI!" should say "peaky", which is a music term--so "the swaying peaky" or a similarly fitting descriptive verb definition (there are like 3).

That first post was kind of on impulse (when I saw a full list of really nicely translated songs I couldn't resist), and I realize now that totally replacing the lyrics is pretty much unnecessary. Would it be fine, though, if I fixed those lines? And any others that I might remember are in other songs when I'm not exhausted.

Thanks again, and I'm really sorry for the confusion.
