Terms explanation [奏世楽器]




Today's term of dicussion is 奏世楽器 [Sousei Gakki]

Sousei Gakki is the 4 musical instruments used by the Shigakusei in the creation of the world. Currently safe-kept by the Shigakusei.

Personally, I've faced quite some problem in translating this phase to english...

cuz...

奏世楽器 == World Resounding Instruments [doesn't sound that nice...]
== World Instrument(Sounds like the "World Tree" in Maple Story..>_<)

However, Sousei Gakki also can lead to another set of kanjis...which is

創世楽器 [Sousei Gakki]

Yeah...Same Romanji with different kanji lettering and yet its intended meaning is the same...

奏世神 == Genesist
創世楽器 == World Creation Instruments <---This is what I'll use for 奏世楽器...


Overall

奏世楽器 == 創世楽器

They're the same except 奏世楽器 is what exactly was used in the story...


Progress:

EP04 @ Encoding...
EP7 still tling...X_X ...Working is tired...X_X

I'll try finish the tl before next episode airs so there won't be any backlog for translations...X_X
