Help in Japanese?

[taotrooper]

Okay, so in the end the chapter title issue was easily solved thanks to the Mushishi article at Japanese wikipedia and the mangaka being nice enough to put the titles in both kanji AND hiragana. Sadly, the last volume is only listed in kanji so far at the Wiki and there are no raws yet that I know of.

But the whole point of this is to ask for a bit of help. I romanized the titles for the non-anime stories, but I could do with a beta reading, just in case I messed up or I have bad use of spaces. I'm also adding the Spanish titles for my own reference, and an English translation of them. People who read/speak Japanese fluently: is any of the translations too far off from the original? I'm a bit nervous because it's a translation of a translation and stuff.

Your romanizations look fine to me. :)

I can look over the translations too later if someone else doesn't get to it first, but here's the hiragana for the Volume 10 chapters:

ひかりのお (Hikari no o)
とこしえのき (Tokoshie no ki)
かおるやみ (Kaoru yami)
すずのしず (Suzu no shizu)

And Del Rey's translated Volume 6 titles:

The Chirping Shell
The Hand That Pets the Night
Under the Snow
Banquet in the Farthest Field
