...especially for GITS: Stand Alone Complex. Now that I have both the OST albums (1st & 2nd seasons), I can help straighten things out with this part of the site. You can't just go by the booklet for words..... at least not with OST1 (1st season). I found a few more songs on the album that have words than what's been printed in the booklet. I will also try to get the Cryllic/Russian "kanji" (since it's not like English at all! ;) ) of "Inner Universe" via PS and MS Word.
I can give a list of both GITS: SAC albums that actually have words, and even though I don't know other languages, I could post a "possible" translation that would scan to the music if a translation isn't available. I may know only English, but I know it very well, and I've done some songwriting to know how to make lyrics "singable". I'll be using Alta Vista's "Babel fish" feature (http://babelfish.altavista.com/ ) to translate, then try to re-work from there so that it makes sense in English as well as fit the music. (In fact, if there's a song that has the original language as well as the "romanized" version, I offer to do that as well --after this section is better organized.)
I think that each album should be separate, with each song having its own link --unless the song is on two separate albums. Then the two entries would go to the same link.
These are all suggestions, btw; I've loved what Allen has started and what you are trying to continue, and I sincerely want to help.
