In anticipation for the release of Seven Crimes and Punishments (CD), mothy tweeted some commentary about each of the songs and the CD as a whole. I apologize for any inaccuracies, as I am not a professional/expert and I will probably make huge errors.
「七つの罪と罰」発売直前ということで、収録曲の個人的な思い出でも適当に呟いていくことにする。 #七つの罪と罰
With "Seven Crimes and Punishments" about to be released, I'm going to give some personal comments about each of the songs. #SevenCrimesAndPunishments
1曲目「七つの罪と罰」。実は当初CDにこの曲を入れる予定はなかった。でもやっぱりオープニングは派手にしたいよね、ということで土壇場で入れる事に決定。結果としてアルバム全体がびしっとまとまったように思う。 #七つの罪と罰
The First Track: "Seven Crimes and Punishments". Initially this song was not even going to be added to the CD. But there was a desire to put in a sort of "opening"-- I guess to appear flashy. The result is that the album was organized as it is now. #I'm-not-doing-this-hashtag-for-every-tweet
2曲目「ヴェノマニア公の狂気」。改めて聞くと実験的な曲だなあ、と思う。他の曲ではやってないことをやってたり。それでいて一番悪ノP「らしい」曲だなとも思ったり。 #七つの罪と罰
The Second Track: "The Lunacy of Duke Venomania". I hear it again and I wish I experimented with the music, I think. If you can do that you can make any song. Yet it seems that this song "seems" very in my(Akuno-P) style.
(this one was difficult as it had many particles I didn't understand)
3曲目「グラスレッドの肖像」。悪ノPは男性なので女性の心理を描いた曲って作るの苦手なのよ。それでもなんとか頑張った。こういういわゆる「普通の人」視点の曲もCDにも一つは欲しかったので。 #七つの罪と罰
The Third Track: "Glassred's Portrait". Akuno-P is no good at portraying the psychology of women because he's a man. It was hard but I managed to make it work, somehow. I wanted to do a song from the perspective of so-called "ordinary people" for this CD.
4曲目「悪食娘コンチータ」。この曲を作る前まではボカロ曲でエレキギターは封印してたんだけど（ギター音源持ってなかったし）、その封印を解いた曲。それとメイコの扱いが難しかったのは今でもよく覚えてる。 #七つの罪と罰
The Fourth Track: "Evil Food Eater Conchita". It was hard to use an actual electric guitar for this song before putting the Vocaloid in (I did not have access to an Electric Guitar when it was first made), but this song seems to have that issue fixed. Also, MEIKO was as difficult to use as I remember, even now.
(Another shaky translation- he's obviously complaining about the difficulties of electric guitars but I'm not sure how so)
5曲目「Drug Of Gold」。略称DOG。犬です。これは犬の歌なんです。小説から曲への逆輸入という、悪ノP楽曲では珍しいパターン。 #七つの罪と罰
The Fifth Track: "Drug of Gold". Its abbreviation is DOG. It's dog. This is a dog song. It's hard to put things from novel to song since it's reverse order, which is an unusual pattern in Akuno-P music.
6曲目「悪ノ娘」。こういっちゃなんだけど、さすがにもう聞き飽きた。何回作り直してるんだっていう。でもやっぱりこの曲が無ければ今の悪ノPは存在しなかった。 #七つの罪と罰
The Sixth Track: "Daughter of Evil". It was reworked multiple times to the point it was a little tiring. But without this song, Akuno-P wouldn't exist.
7曲目「悪ノ召使」。はい代表曲です。これも悪ノ娘と同じ。最初の制作にかかった時間よりもその後の手直しに費やした時間の方が圧倒的に多い。自分で作った曲で泣いたのは後にも先にもこれだけ、だと思う。 #七つの罪と罰
The Seventh Track: "Servant of Evil". Yes it is the representative song. It's the same as Daughter of Evil. It took more time to rework the song than to originally compose it. When I first made the song and when I remade it, I cried.
8曲目「眠らせ姫からの贈り物」。これ以降の曲から狂気度が増していくのは仕様です。当初からなるべく人間味を無くそうと思いながら作った曲。 #七つの罪と罰
The Eighth Track: "Gift from the Princess Who Brought Sleep". It was designed that each subsequent song would increase in madness. While thinking about it ( the songs ) I thought about how to remove as much of the humanity [ human touch if you will](?) as possible from the very beginning ( of the song ).
(This translation is thanks to Senna due to the words better left untranslated)
9曲目「五番目のピエロ」。個人的に道化師という職業にはロマンが詰まっていると思う。結構楽しみながら作った曲。 #七つの罪と罰
The Ninth Track: "Fifth of Pierrot". I think the profession of a murderous clown is somewhat romantic ((as in romanticized, it seems like)). It was a pretty fun song to make.
10曲目「円尾坂の仕立屋」。作った時自分の中でヤンデレがブームだった。カヨさんは大罪キャラの中でも一番知り合いにいてほしくない人です。怖いもん、リアルに。 #七つの罪と罰
The Tenth Track: "Tailor Shop on Enbizaka". It was made during my Yandere Boom. Kayo-san is the person you would least want to know out of all the Deadly Sins characters. It's scary, how real it is.
11曲目「野ざらしの首、鬼ヶ島にて」。色々謎が解ける曲、とかではないです。むしろ謎が増えるかもしれない。ああ無情……そんな曲。あと演歌を作りたかった。 #七つの罪と罰
The Eleventh Track: "The Skull at Onigashima". Various mysteries are solved in this song, and yet not. Rather, the mystery and suspense might increase. Oh how heartless... such songs. I wanted to make this a ballad.
12曲目「悪徳のジャッジメント」。ガレリアンがなぜここまで人気なのか今でもよくわかってなかったり。こいつ、クズだよ？ 他の曲より完成までに時間がかかった覚えがある。 #七つの罪と罰
The Twelfth Track: "Judgement of Corruption". I can't understand why Gallerian is among the more popular characters so far. I mean, the guy is trash?? This song took a lot longer to complete than the other ones.
13曲目「箱庭の少女」。娘と召使、そしてリグレットの後に作った曲だったので正直多少のプレッシャーの中で作った曲。古い曲なので今回のCDの中では最も手直ししてます。 #七つの罪と罰
The Thirteenth Track: "Miniature Garden Girl". This song was created after the success of Daughter and Servant, and also Regret, so there was a lot of pressure. Since it's one of the oldest songs, it's also one of the most redone.
14曲目「ネメシスの銃口」。一番試行錯誤しながら作り上げた曲。初期のバージョンとはもはや別物です。膨れ上がった設定は結局バッサリ切ってまとめました。 #七つの罪と罰
The Fourteenth Track: "Muzzle of Nemesis". Trial and error occurred often when trying to make it the best possible. It's really not that distinct from the original version. The overfilled cast was eventually put together (?)
15曲目「最後のリボルバー」銃を持った殺し屋の女性を描きたかった。悪ノPの曲で季節に触れているのって珍しいかもしれない。ピアノフレーズは今でもお気に入り。 #七つの罪と罰
The Fifteenth Track: "The Last Revolver". I wanted to convey a killer of a woman with a gun. It may be a bit strange to touch upon seasons in an Akuno-P song. The piano is my favorite section/phrase.
以上。CD買った人は感想とか書いてくれれば幸いです。 #七つの罪と罰
That's it. I hope I gave a good impression to those who bought the CD.
