I really hate the finnish translations for those names. They never sound as cool as the english ones.

But I really want to translate every single one lol:

Spoiler:
"Laulu jollekin"/"xx'lle"/"Tuntemattomalle" (A Song for xx)

01. "Prologi" (Prologue)
02. "Laulu tuntemattomalle"/"Laulu xx'lle"/"Laulu jollekin" (A Song for xx)
03. "Kukka" (Hana)
04. "YSTÄVÄ" (FRIEND)
05. "YSTÄVÄ II" (FRIEND II)
06. "Pokerinaama"/"Kaksinaamainen" (poker face)
07. "Toivoa"/"Toivoen"/"Toivon" (Wishing)
08. "SINÄ" (YOU)
09. "Ihan kuin..." (As if...)
10. "PULVERILUMI" (POWDER SNOW)
11. "Luottamus" (Trust)
12. "Riippuu sinusta" (Depend on you)
13. "MERKKI"/"SIGNAALI" (SIGNAL)
14. "kirjeestäsi"/"kirjeestänne" (from your letter)
15. "Rakkaalleni..."/"Rakkaimmalleni..." (For My Dear...)
16. "Lahja"/"Nykyisyys" (Present)

+

Two of us ("Me kaksi")

*Not sure about what Present is about so put both meanings of the word here.

"RAKKAUSlmestyy"/"RAKKAUSilmestyi" (LOVEppears)

01. "Introduction"
02. "Lennä korkealle"/"Liidä korkeuksiin"/"Korkeuksiin" (Fly high)
03. "Trauma"
04. "Ja Sitten" (And Then)
05. "lapsellinen"/"epäkypsä" (immature)
06. "Pojat & Tytöt" (Boys & Girls)
07. "OLLA"/"OLLAKSENI" (TO BE)
08. "Loppu" (End roll)
09. "P.S II"/"PULVERILUMI II" (P.S II)
10. "IHAN SAMA" (WHATEVER)
11. "liian myöhäistä" (too late)
12. "ilmenee"/"ilmestyy"/"ilmestyminen" (appears)
13. "mustavalkoinen"/"kaksivärinen"/"harmaa" (monochrome)
14. "Interlude"
15. "Vetäytyvä rakkaus" (LOVE ~refrain~)
16. "Kuka..." (Who...)
17. "kanarianlintu" (kanariya) (This is canarianbird in english for those who didn't know. x))

LOVE ~refrain~ would look stupid if I just translated it in "RAKKAUS ~vetäytyy~" so I translated it in the closest version I was able to come with.

"Velvollisuus" (Duty)

01 "uusi alku" (starting over)
02 "Velvollisuus" (Duty)
03 "virtaus" (vogue)
04 "Maailmanloppu" (End of the World)
05 "ARPI" (SCAR)
06 "Kaukana" (Far away)
07 "LUONNOTON"/"EPÄREALISTINEN"/"SURREALISTINEN" (SURREAL)
08 "YLEISÖ"/"KATSOMO"/"IHMISJOUKKO"/"KATSOJAT" (AUDIENCE)
09 "VUODENAJAT" (SEASONS)
10 "nallekarhu" (teddy bear) (cute translation, don't you think? ^.^)
11 "Avain" (Key)
12 "tyttömäistä" (girlish)

"Minä olen..." (I am...)

01 "Minä olen..." (I am...)
02 "opening Run"
03 "Yhdessä" (Connected)
04 "???" (UNITE!)
05 "evoluutio" (evolution)
06 "Luonnollisesti" (Naturally)
07 "EI ENÄÄ KOSKAAN"/"EI KOSKAAN" (NEVER EVER)
08 "vieläkin yksin" (still alone)
09 "Aamunkoitto" (Daybreak)
10 "taskinlude"
11 "M"
12 "Laulu on syntynyt" (A Song is born)
13 "Rakkain" (Dearest)
14 "ei enempää sanoja" (no more words)
15 "Loputon suru" (Endless sorrow) "~tuuleen kadonnut ver.~" (~gone with the wind ver.~)
16 "puutarha/kukkatarha" (flower garden)

"SATEENKAARI" (RAINBOW)

00 "SATEENKAARI" (RAINBOW)
01 "loputon uni"/"unelma" (everlasting dream)
02 "TOIVOMME" (WE WISH)
03 "Todellinen minä" (Real me)
04 "Vapaa & Helppo" (Free & Easy)
05 "Sydänpaikka"/"Sydämen paikka" (Heartplace)
06 "Loppunut" (Over)
07 "ILOTULITUS" (HANABI)
08 "taskinillusion"
09 "kaikkialla ei missään" (everywhere nowhere)
10 "Heinäkuun 1. päivä" (July 1st)
11 "Nuket" (Dolls)
12 "neverending dream"
13 "Matka" (Voyage)
14 "Lähelläsi" (Close to you)
15 "itsenäinen+" (independent+)

Heartplace was hard to translate into good english. I think the best translation is "Sydämen paikka" (Heart Place).

"Muisto-osoite/Muistojen osoite" (Memorial address)

01 "ENKELIN LAULU" (ANGEL'S SONG)
02 "Mahtavat päivät" (Greatful days)
03 "Sinun Takiasi" (Because of You)
04 "me itse" (ourselves)
05 "ILOTULITUS ~episodi II~" (HANABI ~episode II~)
06 "Ei tapaa sanoa" (No way to say)
07 "anteeksianto" (forgiveness)
08 "Muisto-osoite"/"Muistojen osoite" (Memorial address)

"Muistojen osoite" would be the best translation. It sounds beautiful to me actually.

"MINUN TARINANI/MUN STOORI" (MY STORY)

01 "Sieppari valossa" (Catcher In The Light)
02 "Juttua Sinusta" (About You)
03 "PELI"/"LEIKKI" (GAME)
04 "nimeni on NAINEN" (my name's WOMEN)
05 "IHMEMAA" (WONDERLAND)
06 "Valehtelija" (Liar)
07 "TOIVO vai KIPU" (HOPE or PAIN)
08 "ONNELLINEN LOPPU" (HAPPY ENDING)
09 "Hetket"/"Hetkiä" (Moments)
10 "kävelen ylpeästi"/"kävelevä ylpeys" (walking proud)
11 "JOULULAULUT" (CAROLS) (Yes, this is the finnish translation. )
12 "Kaleidoscope"
13 "INSPIS" (INSPIRE) ("Inspis" is slang for the word inspiration)
14 "KULTA"/"HANI" (HONEY) ("Hani" is also slang, it's finnish variation of the word "Honey")
15 "Korvaamaton" (Replace)
16 "tuulinen tie" (winding road)
17 "Hyräillen 7/4" (Humming 7/4)

"(väärin)ymmärretty" ((miss)understood)

If we think about the theme around this album, which is about being misunderstood, this translation is the 100% one and only fitting one. I personally try to translate everything thinking about the theme of the song/album title itself so this is definitely right in my opinion. :p

01 "Uhkarohkeaa" (Bold & Delicious)
02 "ASKEL kohti sinua" (STEP you)
03 "Tyttöjenilta" (Ladies Night)
04 "onko tämä RAKKAUS?" (is this LOVE?)
05 "(väärin)ymmärretty" (miss)understood
06 "vaihtoehtoinen minä" (alterna)
07 "Nurkassa" (In The Corner)
08 "tasking"
09 "rikollinen" (criminal)
10 "Ylpeys" (Pride)
11 "Tahto" (Will)
12 "TAIVAS" (HEAVEN)
13 "Ootsä hereil?" (Are You Wake Up?) (Translation is in slang again, I couldn't help myself <3)
14 keijumaa (fairyland)
15 "Kaunis Päivä" (Beautiful Day)
16 "sateinen päivä" (rainy day)

I'm pretty much sure alterna title is "alternative of me" or something.

"Salaisuus" (Secret)

01 "Ei vielä" (Not yet)
02 "Siihen päivään saakka"/"Kunnes se päivä tulee..." (until that Day...)
03 "Alkaa" (Startin')
04 "1 RAKKAUS" (1 LOVE)
05 "Se oli" (It was)
06 "LABYRINTTI" (LABYRINTH)
07 "JALOKIVI" (JEWEL)
08 "momentum"
09 "taskinst"
10 "Syntyneet vapauteen" (Born To Be...)
11 "Kauniit Taistelijat" (Beautiful Fighters)
12 "SININEN LINTU" (BLUE BIRD)
13 "kiss o' kill"
14 "Salaisuus" (Secret)

Didn't want to translate kiss o' kill as I learned this is a name of a movie she watched and I believe I can't translate this title without it sounding stupid. :'D

"SYYTÖS" (GUILTY)

"Syyllinen" would sound stupid to my own ears. I want to use "Syytös" instead. For real it's "Blame" in english but I think it's better translation for GUILTY because of the feelings of guilt in almost every single song. It's like she's blaming herself for everything imo, so that's why I use "Syytös" instead.

01 "Peili" (Mirror)
02 "(älä) Jätä minut yksin" ((don't) Leave me alone)
03 "puhun itsekseni" (talkin' 2 myself)
04 "päätös" (decision)
05 "SYYTÖS" (GUILTY)
06 "kohtalo" (fated)
07 "Yhdessä Kun..." (Together When...)
08 "Marionette -prelude-"
09 "Marionetti" (Marionette)
10 "Tuomiopäivä" (The Judgement Day)
11 "kimalla" (glitter)
12 "KAIKKENI" (MY ALL)
13 "uudelleensyntymä" (reBiRTH)
14 "nimetön ~hänelle~" (untitled ~for her~)

"SEURAAVA TASO" (NEXT LEVEL)

This is really hard to translate into a good finnish becuse every single translation that came to my mind are really stupid.

01 "Silta taivaisiin" (Bridge to the sky)
02 "SEURAAVA TASO" (NEXT LEVEL)
03 "Disco-munication"
04 "EnergiA" (EnergizE)
05 "Säihke" (Sparkle)
06 "pyörii" (rollin')
07 "VIHREÄ" (GREEN)
08 "Load of the SHUGYO"
09 "henkilöllisyys" (identity)
10 "Sääntö" (Rule)
11 "RAKKAUS ja VIHA" (LOVE'n'HATE)
12 "SEISKAN palaset" (Pieces of SEVEN)
13 "Päivät" (Days)
14 "Esirippu" (Curtain call)

"Rokki Sirkus" (Rock'n'Roll Circus)

Rock'n'Roll Sirkus actually but I use the nickname of Rokki Sirkus of this album lol. <3

01 "THE Introduction"
02 "Mikrofooni" (Microphone)
03 "ajan lasku" (count down)
04 "Auringonlasku ~RAKKAUS on KAIKKI~" (Sunset ~LOVE is ALL~)
05 "BALLADI" (BALLAD)
06 "Viimeiset Linkit" (Last Links)
07 "montage"
08 "Älä katso taaksesi" (Don't look back)
09 "Hyppää!" (Jump!)
10 "Leidi Dynamiitti" (Lady Dynamite)
11 "Seksikkäät pienet jutut" (Sexy little things)
12 "Auringonnousu ~RAKKAUS on KAIKKI~" (Sunrise ~LOVE is ALL~)
13 "rakkauden Tarkoitus" (meaning of Love)
14 "Sinä olit..." (You were...)
15 "PUNAINEN VIIVA ~TA'lle~" (RED LINE ~for TA~)


I didn't translate the titles for Love songs yet. I want the official track listing to be revealed before I do so but as soon as possible that happens (and it'll be soon) I will come visit this thread again and translate those :3
