about ASTRAL MILE _{(Chapter Two)}

Suspended above the present, tethered by the strings of the past and future, there exists a space where long-lost ambitions abandoned can be given a second chance.This space is now known as “ASTRAL MILE”: a mile along what was once known as the Astral Highway, born from a tear caused by one side running for the future, and the other running towards the past.The carriers of those ambitions are sprites known as Astralnauts, and they spend their moments of awareness here, humming out memories that are then recorded and transcribed by the Groundskeeper.In the process of performing his duties, the Groundskeeper also faces the pursuit of his own “ambitions”...

LossNFound

By facing our losses, we can find ourselves (again).

LossNFound was an experimental original song project driven by and inspired by the COGNOSPHERE game, Honkai: Star Rail. Characters from the game were prompts for song demos that altair wrote and (co)-composed with a team of volunteer creators in the vtubing and youtaite communites.Due to the emotionally intensive nature of the work, the project closed after 2 years and 3 completed iterations.The name came as a wordplay of "lost and found", where the hope was to help project participants find their answers by facing personal losses addressed in each song.

The game has simply provided a beautiful canvas for us to paint our works upon~

𝄢 Be respectful to EVERYONE: your fellow Astralnauts, visitors & raiders, and the streamer(s).
𝄢 No spamming the chat: if you can type and send a word every second, you can afford to string a sentence together before pressing send. (It's not easier to read, trust me)
𝄢 No backseating, please! This old man would like to figure things out for himself tyvm = A =

𝄢 Remember the creed of ASTRAL MILE: "have a brave day": Be kind, brave, and have fun!

regarding my covers/translyrics work:

(a.k.a. how to avoid really easy ways to disrespect a translator / translyricist)

𝄢 Please DO NOT compare English translyrics in the comments section.
Actually just... don't compare at all, please. It's disrespectful.

If you want me to know that you enjoyed my work, a simple ❤️ or sharing the link with your friends works wonders.

(I spent 10+ years in therapy to unlearn the habit of comparing myself to others, and I DON'T MISS IT.)

𝄢 Please DO NOT tell me that my translyrics are "incorrect".

In the words of David Diop (translated by Anna Moschovakis):
"To translate is to betray at the borders, it’s to cheat, it’s to trade one sentence for another. To translate is one of the only human activities in which one is required to lie about the details to convey the truth at large. To translate is to risk understanding better than others that the truth about a word is not single, but double, even triple, quadruple, or quintuple."

(tl;dr - it says more about your knowledge of the English language than it does of my Japanese comprehension.)
(also a content warning about where the quote is from: it's disturbingly dark. read at your own risk.)
