Let's talk a bit about poem translation and...
imitatingparrots:
I haven’t mentioned it anywhere, but Crunchyroll’s subtitles of Chihayafuru seem somewhat unreferenced. It’s a bit frustrating, as these are well-established pieces of poetry with a long history.

“I’m in the middle of “Old Dreams Waiting to be Realized” (it has a lot of middle), and I heard this low modulating droning/whining that I thought was part of the song, but it turned out to be the neighbor vacuuming.” - Tumblr user vestenet on the 19-minute ambient centerpiece of the new The Knife album.
