Very nice. What do the (I'm assuming) Japanese characters say?

IIRC the one on the left is the kanji for "fire"

the one on the right looks like one of like 6 very similar kanji, so i won't guess.

Thanks. I took that as a start and came up with: HEAVENLY FIRE.

Is that a fancy way of saying “lightning” ?

Very nice. What do the (I'm assuming) Japanese characters say?

The characters represent earth, wind and fire.   While I like the group, it really does not represent them.

Come to see victory
In a land called fantasy
Loving life for you and me
To behold, to your soul is ecstasy

You will find other kind
That has been in search of you
Many lives has brought you to
Recognize, it's your life now in review


Sorry, but now I’ve got Earth, Wind & Fire 
on the brain. Hahaha
