welcome

about word & deed

This is, simply put, a jrock/visual kei lyrics romanizations and translations site, created and maintained by iro (contact: egohabitat @ gmail.com).

Originally, this was a subpage of the larger egoHABITAT creative website (since Halloween 2003), but seeing as how it has grown into a rather large project, I have broken it off from the main site, which has undergone an overhaul of its own.

I do all this in my spare time as a hobby, so I do not take requests, nor am I always fast with updates. These translations may have mistakes; I'm still learning the language. I do not upload the original kanji lyrics. I encourage people to buy the original album if they want the original text. Support the musicians, eh?

usage policies & disclaimers

The original lyrics belong to the respective artists. If you would like to use my romanizations/translations, for things like layouts, stories, icons, etc., that's fine. I don't require credit for small excerpts like that. If you're going to copy/paste to friends and communities, do NOT strip my name.

Do NOT upload everything I've done by one artist to your own website and neglect to state I did them (that's the same as claiming they were romanized/translated by you)! If you want to post my stuff on your site, you may do so, but please credit and link back to this place.

I never require explicit permission, but dropping me a line to let me know is always appreciated.

more lyrics

I do romanizations in my spare time that don't make it onto the site because they lack accompanying translations. You can find them on the romaji Livejournal community. My entries are under the username atomicduck. We have 500+ jrock releases romanized, please check it out. :)
