Kinema106 – ディープブルー

Title: ディープブルー (Deep Blue)
Circle: Kinema106
Vocal: lino
Lyrics: Tom
Arrangement: Tom, jun-jun
Release Date: Sep 9, 2017
Requested By: VocalC Google

My first KanColle request after my hiatus, it’s nice to return to a Kinema106 song (mostly because I know Tom and don’t need to ask permission to repost his videos on my channel).  This song devoted to the Abyssal Jellyfish Princess has all of the awesome hallmarks of a Kinema106 abyssal song:  Striking aggressive dark vocals, English-Japanese wordplay, usage of WW2 codes, and a secret encoded message for us to decipher.  If you want to see another earlier song like this, check out Kinema106 – Rend Ens (which I also translated).

Kinema106 – 蜻蛉羽

Title:  蜻蛉羽 (Dragonfly Wings)
Circle: Kinema106
Vocal: kalon.
Arrangement: Tom
Release Date: Aug 15, 2014
Requested By: VocalC Google

An old way to say dragonfly is 蜻蛉 “Akitsu”.  This is not officially the Akitsu in Akitsumaru, but Tom makes it seem appropriate.  The song is about Akitsumaru’s final raid and sinking as she reminiscences about childhood songs.   En route to the Phillipines on November 1944, Akitsumaru is sunk by USS Queenfish’s torpedoes striking her depth charges.  Over the next 24 hours, 310 of Akitsumaru’s 2,300 men are saved by the other ships in her convoy.   Coincidentally, rescuing survivors is also known as dragonfly fishing in Japanese.

Original: 索敵機、発艦始め! (Scout Planes, Take Off!)
Release Date: Aug 14, 2015 (C88)

A song so beautiful that I asked my friend in Japan to buy the album just for the lyrics.  I’m not completely sure that this song is about Mizuho, but there is good evidence.

Album: 深淵
Vocal: kalon.
Arrangement: Tom, jun-jun
Release Date: Dec 28, 2014 (C87)
Requested By: lazycrypt

A song about Seaport Hime.   She is sad and would rather you not come.  This is a transcription, so the lyrics are not reliable.  However, the chorus is accurate since it is taken from the Crossfade Demo.

Kinema106 – 銃爆

Title: 銃爆 (Gunblast)
Circle: キネマ106 (Kinema 106)
Album: 銃
Vocal: kalon.
Arrangement: Tom, jun-jun
Release Date: Aug 15, 2014 (C86)

“If there was a Japanese ship I could feel sorry for at all, it would be the Kumano.” – Fleet Admiral William Frederick Halsey Jr.

Kumano and Suzuya took part in Leyte Gulf, the biggest naval battle in history. While Suzuya was sunk there, Kumano managed to survive and began her retreat. She was beset by and survived 8 different attacks on her long and painful journey home before finally sinking on the 9th attack.

Final note: the romaji of the title is “Juubaku”. The main line of this song is “ai ni juubaku”, pronounced like “I need you back”, means “a gunblast for love”.

Kumano’s story in English, basically what the interlude text is about: http://www.combinedfleet.com/atully04.htm

Circle: キネマ106 (Kinema 106)
Album: 銃
Vocal: kalon.
Arrangement: Tom, jun-jun
Release Date: Aug 15, 2014 (C86)

The prequel to Gunblast, this accounts Suzuya’s sinking at Leyte where Kumano was present.  The title possibly means the feeling of release from death by gunshot.

Circle: C-CLAYS
Album: Splash!
Vocal: ゆらのあずさ

An song from C85, it isn’t clear which destroyer(s) is singing.  Better go with the most lady-like ones just in case.
