MHA Chapter 405 spoilers translations
This week’s initial tentative super rough/literal translations under the cut.
Tumblr media

(Note: I think All Might is poking fun at Nighteye's business lingo here and saying something like "the speculating market price became fixed" by his decision to sacrifice himself.)

Gorgonn - Six Paths - absolutely crushing bass music from solo project of Goh Nakada
In Japanese Buddhism, it's believed that when someone dies they are ushered down one of six paths depending on the karma accumulated during their previous lives. A being might end up in the world of humans, animals, demigods, or celestials, but it's also possible to end up reborn as a pitiable hungry ghost, doomed to an existence of insatiable desire, or even worse - be sent to hell, or jigoku. Ruled over by the Japanese lord of death Emma-ō, this hell isn't quite like the Christian hell, it's closer to purgatory, and cleansing the karma can take hundreds of millions of years of excruciating torture in extreme cold or immense fire. Japanese bass alchemist Gorgonn takes these themes as the basis of his debut album "Six Paths", assembling a spiritually weighty set of futurist dubs that consider the possibility that our mortal domain might be closer to hell than we realize. Gorgonn describes himself as a Japalien exile. He left the country of his birth almost two decades ago, and since then has been working tirelessly to formulate Jamaican dub, noise, techno, and no-wave into a sound he calls "sci-fi steppas". If you've not come across his name before, there's a good chance you've heard his reverberations. An established sound tech who's worked with The Bug, Hype Williams, Seefeel and others, he's part of G36 with Kevin Martin, Dokkebi Q with Kiki Hitomi, and a former member of Devilman with DJ Scotch Egg and Bo Ningen's Taigen Kawabe. Just last year he released the acclaimed "Disentegration Dubs" full-length alongside JK Flesh, the veteran producer who's best known for masterminding Godflesh. All this experience blesses Gorgonn's productions with remarkable sonic force, and "Six Paths" is his most crushing display yet, smelting cannonball bass and osmium beats into sharp-edged soundsystem weapons. Voice on track 4 by Koichi Yamanoha Artwork and layout by Akihide Monna All tracks written and mixed by Goh Nakada in Berlin except track 9 mixed by Goh Nakada and Martin Maischein

love letter to mass of the fermenting dregs (
god im so glad i got into motfd when i did, i started listening to them in around early/mid 2020 giving me the perfect amount of time to get well acquainted to their existing discography at the time, then they released you/uta wo utaeba and it was so fucking hype, to know that the band id become a fan of, not having new music for 2 years before i became a fan, suddenly sending out a spark of light saying that theyre nowhere close to done was the best feeling in the world at the time. while they did stay quiet for the next 2 years again, just as i was about to lose hope they'd make new stuff, i see them post on instagram, revealing a whole new full album, including a feature and a new genre theyve never done before*, (*Helluva, feat. Taigen Watanabe from BO NINGEN) im so happy to have witnessed the current peak of their career right as it began. I feel like despite the fact i missed out on so much before i started listening, its better that way, because i could NOT have been able to handle the various members leaving and the disbanding from 2012-2015. that said, i made sure to understand why it happened when it did, because its the context for the existence of the songs endroll and tantantan, and knowing that makes me appreciate them even more.
despite only listening to them for 3 years, mass of the fermenting dregs has made a huge impact in my life. even if i dont understand the lyrics most of the time, it doesnt stop the sheer energy from their music reaching my heart, and how they convey it so well. they want to evoke feelings and theyre going to make sure you feel them, and feel them hard.
it may be coincidence, but the past three years, being the most terrifying times in recent history, mass of the fermenting dregs played a huge part in letting me know that in the end, everything is going to be ok. especially with you/uta wo utaeba, their music (among other, more direct things) helped me anchor me to my own self, keeping my nerves down and giving me the ability to switch to a better state of mind that only few others can achieve. even in their more energetic music, it still draws me in with the swirling rhythm of guitar, bass, and drums, and a voice that shouts past my ears and into my heart, even if i dont understand it (mostly)(yet).
another thing theyve influenced is my own musical "career", despite the fact i produce various edm subgenres, listening to their music helps me understand how to use odd rhythms to my advantage, how to take a basic call and response pattern, and flip it on its head for a lasting impression.
i love masudore so much, theyve been such a big part of my life ever since i let them in, and i wish i could share this music with everyone i know all at once and let them experience the same joy i do out of listening to them, even though i cant, due to my own experience being unique and unable to be replicated. in its stead i wish that i can introduce people to music that might change their lives like it did mine.

Charisma - Tendo Amahiko “VIVA LA LIBERATION” English Lyrics Translation
Tumblr media
This is an English translation of Tendo Amahiko’s first solo song “VIVA LA LIBERATION” from Charisma. Song is here. Please be advised that this is merely a translation into English and may not be 100% accurate. You can see the Japanese and Romaji lyrics here as well.
Some notes before I get into the song:
I have censored some parts of the song to keep it more PG-13. Which, considering Amahiko, is a little difficult to do since his whole thing is ahem. Sex. But I did it for the kids at home reading this, so thanks for ruining things (/j). I just changed certain wording but otherwise the meaning is very much there if you squint hard enough. Just sexual innuendos and “reaching a climax” and all that.
“Buttaravitara” I couldn’t tell you what this means. I assumed it was Hindi but looking it up doesn’t give me anything. I have read some of the theories the JP fandom has put on YouTube and Twitter and it’s a possibility that this is about Brahma, the Hindu god who is known as “The Creator.” You could say Buddha but a Buddha does not create life, he is simply an enlightened person.
Same with “Gapparaguhera” I have no clue and I couldn’t find anything on this one either.
I read somewhere that “Bobongaringa” is possibly a combination of the words “Bonga” (梵 or  ぼん, which is used in relation to Hinduism, Brahma, Sanskrit, etc) and “Ringa” is the phallus. I don’t know how. Would be great to hear what people think on some of these.
I believe “Harerama” or “Hareramaya” is some sort of mantra. It could also be in relation to Radha or Lord Krishna/Lord Rama somehow. The mantra is said to bring peace and remove stress.
Eros used in this context is seemingly referring to the Greek God of Love and Sex. 
One of the lines says: “ 連理の様に重なって.” Technically it reads “to join one another in a series of successions” but to better fit the theme of Amahiko and for briefness’ sake, I just wrote “overstimulation.”
I left “Banzai” alone when it came to the “Viva la!” parts just because it’s similar to saying “Hooray!” in English when it’s used like that. Otherwise, in another line, Amahiko says: “Ningen banzai!” where it’s more like “Eternal life to humans! Long live humans!”
Any questions, concerns, theories, or feedback is appreciated! Thank you for reading.
Anyways, without further ado, here are the lyrics.
Sexy, Sexy Genes of a warrior engraved into the frontal lobe A tyrant that cuts through the battlefield Fire your arrows, raise your lights Clap your hands with pride The echoing of the bell signals the beginning of our intimacy Buttaravītara He who brought Life to this world The Fountain of Love overflows Gapparagūhera He who declared that you should give your body up Leave it to the fruits of desire Let’s see if you can come Awaken your instincts Quickly, set me free This is the life I was given Let’s see if you can get on We’ll break these borders down Let's soar to the peaks of Heaven Banzai! VIVA LA LIBERATION! Shout it out! BOBONGARINGA BOBONGARINGA HARERAMAYA Banzai! VIVA LA PLEASURE! Let it burn! BOBONGARINGA BOBONGARINGA HARERA It must be Slaves of Desire You are the ones who are beautiful Be swept up in those worldly desires As it is, so it shall be Libido is alive You are my beloved Long live mankind! Sexy, Sexy Techniques that can bring you to Heaven, are you an angel? It’s overstimulation The beautiful colors of this life overflow and fill everything up In the unconscious depths of your mind lurks a reservoir named “S” The secret energy of pleasure will unleash its true form Love is born from your soul It can never be held down We who are born will fall Da Ya Think I’m Sexy ? You are the entire universe Eros, we must now reach our climax Banzai! VIVA LA LIBERATION! Shout it out! BOBONGARINGA BOBONGARINGA HARERAMAYA Banzai! VIVA LA PLEASURE! Let it burn! BOBONGARINGA BOBONGARINGA HARERA It must be Banzai! VIVA LA SENSUALITY! Bask in it! BOBONGARINGA BOBONGARINGA HARERAMAYA Banzai! VIVA LA EMOTION! Soak in it! BOBONGARINGA BOBONGARINGA HARERA It must be Slaves of Desire You are the ones who are beautiful Be swept up in those worldly desires As it is, so it shall be Libido is alive You are my beloved Long live mankind!

Bo Ningen, Scala, 10.10.2013
Tumblr media
In an era where nothing is left to chance and bands insist on being note perfect some vitality is sometimes lost. But Scala retains the unpredictability essential to tub thumping rock n roll. People crowd and drape themselves over the  balcony the gangways as if it’s an illegal fighting den. It’s no surprise that the three acts tonight were so raw and expressive. 
First up were N’Shukurawa Boys (not strictly true, one of the trio is a girl) , who, refreshingly ,just seemed to want to have a lot of fun and in the main the audience went wuth them, although an attempt to bring the crowd into a sing along fell flat on its face as there was an unwillingness to learn Japanese. The three band members rotated instruments, lead and rhythm guitar and drums,  and took turns on climbs to the top of the speaker stacks. It wasn’t really parodic. They just seemed to enjoy the idea of being crazy rock n roll stars.  In fact “I am rock n roll!” roared one band member with his blacked out panda eyes after body surfing across the audience. “We are no professional, no need professional!” The amateurishness couldn’t disguise the fact that this was often thrilling psych punk. One song in particular had a terrific driving riff. 
Tumblr media
Next along were Telegram whose psychedelic new wave is rich in promise. Although setting a more serious, sombre tone in skinny black jeans and pointed Chelsea boots, they weren’t without a bit of fancy dress themselves with androgynous lead guitarist donning a false moustache. Debut single single ‘Follow,’ due for release in early November ,was a highlight. Lots of energy, bouncing on their toes with vocals soaring over excellent punchy riffs, they could be going places. 
And so we waited for Bo Ningen, much heralded as the most exciting act on the live circuit. Well they certainly get you moving, in my case, to the back of the auditiorium, within ten minutes. Their appearance is indeed striking. Black hair down to the waist and two of them in dresses and plenty of throwing themselves around in wild banshee abandon under a siren of strobe lighting, and this kind of ear-splitting in-your-face more-fool-you if you want a melody, can be a quasi religious experience  and it does generate a decent mosh pit, but here it quickly turned into unending dirge and iIsoon detached myself from the devoted ritual of the pit as I had become bored. 
At the end the boys seemed to want to smash their instruments, but perhaps they can’t afford to just yet.

So there were some statements that ended up not holding true in the last post. I ate zero pop tarts and didn't listen to Superheaven or Aidan Baker. I did, however, end up listening to Animals As Leaders, LITE, Bo Ningen, Deafheaven, and Alcest. And now we come to the main point of this post: I said I would try and draw again later tonight, but I don't have it in me. Maybe tomorrow. Gnight yall

PORTALS FESTIVAL 2023 - SATURDAY REVIEW
Portals festival 2023 was held at EartH in Hackney for the first time this year and it made for a wonderful weekend full of experimental alternative music with easily their biggest lineup to date!
All three stages had their unique charm but it was the theatre stage that had the real WOW factor as you entered the massive room and just imagined what your favourite band would be like on this humongous stage over the course of the weekend!
We arrived a little late on the Saturday but just in time to catch Irelands Bicurious on the main stage. The math-rock duo bounded around the stage playing a nice mix of old and new songs which will definitely have made them a bunch of new fans and it’s a big jump from their previous portals set where they played the tiny Aces & Eights and you could tell they were buzzing to be playing to a packed room so early on in the day!

Up next we Caught The Broken Islands who had travelled from Canada to record their new album over in the UK and to showcase their music to the Portals crowd in the lovely setting of the Bar stage, they brought a nice mix of relaxed post-rock/ indie to the proceedings.
Time for one of our favourites here at bUTTONpUSHER next EL MOONO, we've been obsessed with this lot since they released Temple Corrupted and they never disappoint live, they played a nice mix of older songs and some new ones from their forthcoming album which they've recorded with Small Pond in Brighton! Keep your eyes peeled for that later in the year!
Bo Ningen are an act we've not seen in a good few years now and they were just as good as we remembered them, crazy psych tunes that take you to a completely different world, there's even some rap thrown in for good measure and the crowd were left captivated by them.

The first of the difficult clashes was Lakes and AK/DK so we opted for a bit of both as we'd hosted Lakes on the Friday night in Nottingham, they played a great set full of emo bangers to a packed Bar stage before we moved up to the Theatre to catch the tail end of AK/DK's double drummer party set along with some stunning visuals to boot.
I managed to catch a couple of AA Williams songs in the theatre but was flagging a bit and needed something with a bit more energy so headed off to see Irish boys A Burial At Sea on the Bar stage which got me back in the game and ready for some more bangers from And So I Watch You From Afar in the Main Hall.

A welcomed rest in the theatre while we watched Nordic Giants, a band that should only ever play venues like this, they were spectacular as they blitzed through an epic set full of post rock twists and turns and the visuals worked so well on the massive screen behind them which made this show even more special especially for those of our crew who hadn't seen the band perform before.

This brought us to the penultimate act of the night, the inimitable Straight Girl who despite being on crutches managed to flail around the venue like a person possessed with their unique brand of electro dance punk, it was just a shame it wasn't busier up in the bar but for those who were there it was just full on JOY!!
Tumblr media
Finally it was time for BIG LAD to close the night, the duo are renowned for their high energy party bangers and they did not disappoint at Portals, there was dancing and carnage all around as the pair set up on the floor as the crowd gathered closely around them and danced their asses off for the remainder of the night!
Well done Portals for an amazing first day, the only real niggle of the weekend was the no re-entry after 4:30pm which meant you had no choice but to eat and drink at the venue with a super limited menu and expensive beers so hopefully that is something that will change next year given the cost of living is a big issue right now.
Sunday review coming soon....

[Album + Video] bdrmm neu bei Rock Action + kommendes Album "I Don't Know" im Juni!
Tumblr media
Nach der Veröffentlichung 2020er Debüt-LP "Bedroom" und einer ganzen Reihe von Singles, meldet das aus Hull stammende Shoegaze-Quartett bdrmm heute mit der News, dass sie bei Mogwais Label Rock Action unterschrieben haben! Das kommende, zweite Album der Band, "I Don't Know", erscheint am 30. Juni über das Label der Schotten.
Wie auch das Debüt wurde das Album mit dem langjährigen Bandkollegen Alex Greaves (Working Men's Club, Bo Ningen) in den The Nave Studios in Leeds aufgenommen. Die für die Band typischen effektbeladenen Gitarren und motorischen Grooves wurden dabei durch Klavier, Streicher, Electronica, Sampling und auch sogar gelegentliche Dance Beats ergänzt.

Mit dem ausladenden und dynamischen "It's Just A Bit Of Blood", gepaart mit einem Video von Chris Tomsett / Innerstrings (Overmono, James Holden, Uncle Acid and the Deadbeats), präsentiert die Band ihr erstes neues Material und einen ersten Vorgeschmack auf die kommenden Songs. “I’d become depressed and very socially anxious, I really felt like I had changed and didn’t know who I was”, erzählt Sänger und Gitarrist Ryan Smith über die Themen hinter der neuen Single, die bereits jetzt zu einem Live-Favoriten geworden ist. „It’s about realising what you have and remembering that when you can’t see it."
