BACK-ON – Hikari Sasuhou ヒカリサスホウ (FK Metal ver.) [Murder Princess OVA OP version] | Lyrics and Translation

The lyrics come courtesy of Yakhobian of the Crystal Nova fansub group, who also kindly shared his recording of the OP from Murder Princess OVA. His fansub group, Crystal Nova, have just released their versions of Murder Princess OVA – Volume 1-4, and they’ve done an excellent job translating the episodes imho, so I would highly recommend downloading their work!

You can find the torrent files from the Crystal Nova Forums and having downloaded the file myself, I can definitely say that the quality of the video is very good. There are two file sizes available – 200mb and 116mb. Yakhobian recommends using CCCP to watch the files as it supports the SSA/AAS subtitling format used by the group for their .mkv files.

The lyrics for the OP were translated based on the original Hikari Sasuhou ヒカリサスホウ lyrics so I’m sure they’re as accurate as can be without the band’s official release. Yakhobian has kindly provided Back-on Online with the original kanji, romaji and also the English translation. You can find all 3 on this page, the kanji on page 2, romaji on page 3 and the English translation on page 4.

Watch the first Murder Princess OVA CM/Trailer

I wouldn’t normally post such detailed information about the Murder Princess OVA at this stage, but this time there’s a special reason:

Its the first opportunity for us to hear the Fk Metal ver. of Hikari Sasuhou!

The clip is only 15 seconds long and there’s a rather loud voice-over, but you can definitely tell that it is indeed a different version of Hikari Sasuhou.

There are several ways for you to watch this clip, either on Youtube (courtesy of Mitheor) or on the official Murder Princess website. Alternatively, watch it below in either WMV or FLV format!

Last but not least, a reminder that the first DVD will be released on March 28th 2007 . I’ll make another news post at some point summarising the information about the anime but if you want to take a quick peek at the release, Famitsu.com has a news post with some screenshots.
