'B' Station non-English parts of track titles
At the The Shadow Dragon's request, I'll begin the far too slow (XD) but gradual translations, to the best of my abilities, of the non-English portions of the track names. Expect this to be updated often (hopefully) as I chip away at the vast volume of them.

If I somehow screw up royal in my noviceness, I'm sorry. All my translations should be read as if beginning with "seems to be"; what analyses I can give should hopefully make up for, or explain how I made, any blunders. As is my usual habit, underlined words in my Rōmaji transcriptions indicate non-Japanese loanwords, usu. written in katakana.

FIRST SEASON

Vol. 1

1. ～節子～ is apparently the feminine given name Sadako, made up of a special reading of 節 setsu, sechi | fushi "period, season; point, node, interval" + ko "child." The meaning is prob. "temperate child" (recorded meaning "temperate" prob. < "reserved to intervals").

2. ～名(迷)曲披露～ is the "Famed (Crazed) Music Show" (Mei[Mei]kyoku Hirou). I think this is meant to pun on how 名 "name; nominal, famed" and 迷 "bewildered, perplexed; doubtful" can both be read mei. Thus, it may be a joke like "is it 名曲 meikyoku (famous music/song[s]), or is it 迷曲 meikyoku (bewildering music/song[s])?"

3. ～咆えろ！月極司会者!!～ is "Howl! Monthly M.C.!!" (Hoero! Tsukigime Shikaisha!!). Note of course that "howl" is the same as the release call for Zabimaru.

4. ～スプラーッシュ!!～ is just "Splaash!!" ( Supurāsshu !!).

5. ゴミ溜めみたいな街で俺達は出会った is "We Chanced to Meet in Trash Heap-lookin' Town" (Gomitame mitaina Machi de Oretachi ha Deatta).

Vol. 2

1. ～トークの森でヤッホー～ seems to be "Yoo-hoo in the Talk Forest" or "~ the Forest of Talk" ( Tōku no Mori de Yahhō ).

2. ～二人は釣り友達！～ is "The Two are Fishing Friends!" (Futari ha Tsuri Tomodachi!). Futari means "two" or "a couple of people."

3. ～ブリーチ “H” 花太郎ステーション～ is "BLEACH 'H' Hanatarou Station" ( Burīchi "H" Hanatarou Sutēshon ).

4. ～前略崖の上より 秘蔵デモ流出～ is something like "More fore-cut than a Clifftop Treasured but Leaked" (Zenryaku Gake no Ue yori Hizou demo Ryuushutsu). Zenryaku (more lit. "fore-abbreviated") describes something with its first part omitted, as in a "brief salutation in a letter." The last phrase seems to mean something dear or treasured has, nonetheless, been "leaked" (i.e. allowed to be disseminated/exposed).

5. 花太郎です -りみっくすです. バージョン- is "I'm Hanatarou -It's a Remix. Version-" (Hanatarou desu - Rimikkusu desu. Bājon -). "Remix" is unusual in that it's here written in hiragana rather than katakana; I also can't explain the period (. ) appearing in the middle of the phrase--a reference to the timid, halting speech of Hanatarou? Desu is the formal copula, so its translation depends on the subject, e.g. while English uses am, is, are etc. depending on person and number, Japanese can merely use desu for any of these.
