"the permanent retention board of the adult"

Mary, Terje, and Jason, you'll appreciate this one the most.

From a Google-translated page of Japanese text, here's how Warner Bros. Japan describes its Melodies: The Best of AOR collection:

The famous musical work of AOR which cannot forget even now was recorded completely “the permanent retention board of the adult” first feature.

Google probably should've held onto some of the $1.65 billion it paid for YouTube and used the leftover cash to shore up its translation capabilities, but I can't deny that "the permanent retention board of the adult" has a certain sense of poetry about it.

I also like that,
courtesy of Google's translation, Robbie Dupree's "Steal Away" is retitled "Night Just of Cover."
