Let’s Play a Game

Published by celestia at 7:28 pm under contest

Below you will see a list of Hello Project song titles in disguise. I’ve taken the meaning of various H!P song titles and put them into different words. For example, “Love Machine” might become “Mechanical Device of Strong Affection”. If a title is in Japanese, I may use words that mean the same as the English translation, but a good two thirds of them are at least partially in English to begin with. See how it works? Your challenge is to decode as many of them as possible. “Why should I?” you may ask. Because it’s fun! Also, I’m generously bribing you.

THE RULES

  1. Post your guess in the comments section. I will not approve these comments to be viewed by anyone (so no one can steal your answers)
  2. The contest ends on May 20th at midnight
  3. The first person to guess all of them correctly, or the person who has the most correct when the contest ends, is the winner
  4. Any song within the Hello Project discography is fair game. TNX is not included. Any distinguishing punctuation (~, *, !, etc) is not included in the clues
  5. If I feel like it, I may give hints on some of them later on
  6. It is not required to list the artist name in your answers
  7. The grand prize is $30 to YesAsia.com to spend as you see fit. If anyone can get all of them, I’ll be extremely impressed and make it $60

Here is the list. Some of them are quite hard, some of them not so much. Remember, it can’t hurt to guess. If you only get one right but you’re the only one who guesses, you still win! Ready, set, go!!!!

  1. A cheerless sustentation or amplification of sonance
  2. Regale me with potent fondness which is of above average size
  3. The possessor of a Y-chromosome about which statements are in general circulation

    I haven’t looked at all of it yet, but I think you have a typo for #19 … I think it should be “C. unshiu” not “C. unshui”…

    I have a bit of a question though…if what we guessed is incorrect, how do we know that? or we don’t know until the contest is over?
