fripSide’s first vocalist, nao, graduated from fripSide March 15, 2009 to begin her own music career. fripSide staff veterans Kenji Arai, aka Araken, and Shinichiro Yamashita joined her as well (I don’t think they collaborate with fripSide anymore). nao has started her own career as simply nao and also participates as the vocalist of doujin music group DystopiaGround. Her last name remains unknown and she goes by the nickname naosun as well as just nao.
I decided that making a summary of DystopiaGround and solo work would be easiest using the format she has going at her own blog. I hope I didn’t miss anything. This is a huge post so it’s under a cut. Translation corrections and other additions are always welcome. By the way, she posts a lot of event and cute photos on her blog, so check it out =D

Ryuusei no Bifrost (meteor of bifrost)
lyrics: Shinichiro Yamashita
music: Kenji Ito
arrange: Vomos(filter fish)/小林秀行
the reason we were born on this earth
was not to be manipulated by fate
hold me, i want to protect your irreplaceable heart
i seek reform for our illusive earth
my wish is to run towards dawn with noble ideals
i faintly heard a voice shouting for me from far away
i let it burn into my memory
people look to others for their answers
the orbiting meteor is a traveler with no destination
it’s fleeting but intense, endlessly burning away its life
my eyes filled with secret devotion
brought out the light from inside the dark
like a hand reaching for the future
i was hurt but have nothing to fear now
because you, my darling, are always with me
freedom’s hiding place is clouded by shadow
a foreseen reality throwing everything into chaos
what should i believe in? here in this dimension of spiral mazes
you showed me the bridge towards an undeniable dream
the reason we were born on this earth
was not to be manipulated by fate
hold me, i want to protect your irreplaceable heart
even if i’ve lost some things
they brought me the miracle called ‘our chance encounter’
i’m not alone anymore
memories of you live in that special place
the strength to be able to cry when i want to cry, the courage that won’t surrender
when you cry a river of tears, the smile that comes after will shine brilliantly
when you find yourself walking through unforgiving winds
don’t forget the bond that connects our budding desire
people look to others for their answers
the orbiting meteor is a traveler with no destination
its fleeting but intense, endlessly burning away its life
my eyes with secret devotion
brought out the light from inside the dark
like a hand reaching for the future
i was hurt but have nothing to fear now
because you, my darling, are always with me

can you post the kanji or English lyric for Sincerely?
thanks!
i don’t normally take requests. however I did do a quick translation of this. It’s literal and unrefined.
I don’t want to see this posted elsewhere
I’ll wake from such long dreams
though I’m bewildered by the brightness of my reality
Frightening love and lies
hid themselves in reality
I can’t even see you ahead of me
For whom or what are the tears you shed?
Your face is so, so far and hazy and seems like it’s gonna disappear
But this is no mistake: your warmth envelopes my hands now
I don’t want to believe in the new corners carved in my heart
The promises we made
always supported us through tomorrow
Your smile in all my many memories
inspires me more than anything else
I just want to see you once more
I always wanna walk with you at the same time, starting from here
Even if the memories in your eyes are lies
I don’t wanna go back to the innocent times that made us both feel like we could grasp the moon
I’m impatient, but I want to be by… your side…
Suddenly a rain started to fall
soaking us wet with sorrow
I don’t want our memories together
to be tied to this moment, this future
For whom or what are the tears you shed?
Your face is so, so far and hazy and seems like it’s gonna disappear
This love invites you though it’s weak right now
One of these days, I want the strong, real me to reach you…!
I want to hold you …the honest you
Thanks for the Lyrics of the Ryussei no Bitfrost, and nice blog ^^

Is this anything related to hyper dimension neptunia? Am i in the wrong page?
only nao, who sung a theme song for one of the games (theme song is Ryuusei no Bifrost). otherwise there is no information about the game here ^^;
Did u do the music? if you did Nice lol
