Thank you sooo much for sharing all of these! :)

Regarding typos, I've always found 召還 a bit strange and I believe it should have been 召喚 all along unless it's a very weird/intentional wordplay. As with 侵食 being the correct one too.

Sorry I can't take my supposedly-legit copy of OST1 out to check right now but if I ever do in the future I'll come back to this...
I've seen at least 3 different people's scans of their OST1 and I think all of those have 召還 written.

Ain't it fascinating? Like, it would be one thing for it to be different in one spot but not only is it different between different releases and interviews, it's also seemingly different between printings of the My-HiME OST1, lol. I could not believe my eyes when I looked at what I own and then olden scans.

So it's not just my copy at the very least... lul. How peculiar.

Thanks for the translation, guronti-kun.
It´s always nice to read more about her thoughts on her works.
Mai OtoHiME live album when?

In my country some words used to be written differently when i was younger, and i see them different now on product labels etc (eg ξύδι > ξίδι (both mean vinegar)) . Languages evolve or simplify as time goes by. It might be a case like that.

Sure but that's not what is happening. It keeps flipping back n forth between releases.

^ Maybe typos in their database then ?

 

[grunty]

Apparently.
