ＴＶアニメ「ＲＤ 潜脳調査室」エンディング・テーマ ・ RD Sennou-Chousashitsu ED
難攻不落の城に差す足止めする誘惑の光
Nankoufuraku no shiro ni sasu ashidome suru yuuwaku no hikari
What shines* into this unyielding fortress is, the forestalling light of temptation
* I'm still not sure why the lyricist chose to use a different character for "shine" than what's customarily used to refer to light "shin[ing]" into something. If anyone has any ideas about a good way of translating this, please discuss!

* I hope you noticed my (hopefully not so terrible) effort to rhyme! The Japanese, if you listen closely has a kind of clever reverberating "taiyo" on the ends of both here ("wo" on the ends of the previous stanzas). I thought I'd have a bit of fun with it...I hope the meaning didn't turn out to be too off from the original, since I wasn't too sure what literally an "ideal hill" was anyways. But does a "guise" of an ideal hill make any more sense?
