The author used the "soft" append of Miku for this. It suits it very well - a very delicate and tender song.
Just a note on the translation - the author wrote a lot of the lyrics in hiragana without kanji, so the words can have multiple meanings. I chose what they meant to me. I tried to make singable lyrics in English, but honestly they sounded so stilted it was pretty terrible.
Here is a wonderful Utatte mita version of the song by Airi:

Here's a link to the Wikipedia article explaining what a cardioid is.

Anyway, enjoy!

Ai, think so

"Ai, think so" is my favourite VOCALOID song. It has such a delicate tune, but it's so sad. It was also extremely difficult to come up with English lyrics to fit the tune!

As always, please let me know what you think of the translation, and if you want to use these lyrics please contact me. Anyone have any requests for songs they would like to see translated?

I saw this PV today and was moved to tears. Here's a quick translation for anyone that wants it.
As always, please contact me if you want to use the translation or if there are any obvious mistakes...

Hello World

Japanese Title - ハローワールド
Composer - 卑屈P (Hikutsu-P)
Vocals - Megurine Luka

"Hello World" is a favourite song of mine. It's upbeat, 8-bit and is sung by Luka.
It's very appropriate for my first post, too. Hello, world!

If you want to use these lyrics, please contact me and credit me.

About this blog

Let's see how long this blog lasts, okay?

I have, in the past, translated some VOCALOID songs so I created "Utatte Full Spectrum" as a place to share these translations.
Ideally, I would also like to add singable English lyrics to the posts as well but it's actually really difficult to make some lines scan so we'll see how far I get with that!

My aims for this blog aren't massive. I'd like to post lyrics to a variety of songs by different composers and sung by different VOCALOIDs, hence the "Full Spectrum" part of the name. Maybe some other anime and game songs will sneak in here from time to time. There might even be some art posts.

I'm not a professional translator, but I'm going to make an effort to make the translations less stilted than some I've seen.

My favourite composer is DECO*27 so look out for plenty of songs by him :)
