肌が溶ける漏れる息が絡まる
まるで私あなたの
指先がなぞり辿りついていくのを
垂れ流したまま待っている
Hada ga tokeru Moreru iki ga karamaru
Marude watashi anata no
Yubisaki ga nazori Tadoritsuiteiku no wo
Tarenagashita mama matteiru
My skin melts, and the breath that escape twines
Around me.
I wait, drenched, as
Your fingertips struggle to trace a path down me.

火照る身体上げて私の体をその口で愛して
曖昧な今痛みが体を浮かせあなたを中で感じる
Hoteru karada agete Watashi no karada wo sono kuchi de aishite
Aimai na ima Itami ga karada wo ukase Anata wo naka de kanjiru
Love me, make my whole body burn with your mouth.
In this unclear now, pain rises in my body. I feel it with you inside.

もっともっともっと私を見てよ
自由にさせてあげる
Motto motto motto Watashi wo mite yo
Jiyuu ni sasete ageru
Look at me, more, more, more,
As much as you could ever want.

行かないで
私の頬に温もりを残したままで離れていくの
わかってたけどあなたを最後の恋にするわ
Ikanai de
Watashi no hoho ni nukumori wo nokoshita mama de hanareteyuku no
Wakatteta kedo Anata wo saigo no koi ni suru wa
Please don't go.
I understood that you would leave me like this, with only
The warmth in my cheeks, but even so, you are my last love.

さよならも言わないようなあなただから
悔しいけれど好きになったの
あなたに触れた今日の夜を胸に生きるわ
Sayonara mo iwanai you na anata dakara
Kuyashii keredo Suki ni natta no
Anata ni fureta Kyou no yoru wo mune ni ikiru wa
No matter how regrettable it is, I truly loved you,
Though you wouldn't even say goodbye.
This night, where you touched me, will live on in my heart.

Don't run away on your own again.
Just go ahead and act like a spoiled child before me.
Don't leave me alone again.
I wonder if I really just want to fawn on you.

Don't run away on your own again.
I just want you to at least be near me when you want to cry.
You're not alone anymore.
I lay everything I have out before you.

The tepid wind flutters the candle,
And when the flame goes out, I want to disappear too.
I held you close so I could hide my irritation,
And you made fun of my tears.

What heals my loneliness is a warm breeze, and camel.
What heals my loneliness is the blue-eyed katherine.

Don't run away on your own again.
Did you really hate me so much?
Why do you look at me and cry out
With such a sad voice...

生暖かい風がキャンドルを吹き消し
火が消えてあんたは鳴き止んだ
弱く震えてた小さい身体はただ
私の前まで来てゆっくり崩れた
Namaatatakai kaze ga candle wo fukikeshi

The tepid wind blows out the candles.
The flame goes out, and you stop crying.
Your small, weakly-shaking body is still
Out before me, slowly crumbling.

The horn sounds out. There are no doubts.
So like me, my katherine, all alone,
This time, I will...

菫 Translation

2012-01-09T13:26:00.001-07:00

A translation of “Sumire” from the GazettE’s EP “Madara”. The title of the song means “Violets”, and in the language of flowers in Japan, the flower represents honesty. This is probably referencing the protagnist’s agony over facing the truth of his love interest.

置き手紙に記したごめんねの意味に戸惑う
Okitegami ni shirushita Gomenne no imi ni tomadou
The meaning of the apology written in your letter confuses me.

電話のベルが痛い内容はきっとアレだろう
ただ真実に逃げてるだけ臆病だね解ってるさ
君を想い気が付いたら走り出してた
Denwa no bell ga itai Naiyou ha kitto are darou
Tada shinjitsu ni nigeteru dake Okubyou da ne wakatteru sa
Kimi wo omoi ki ga tsuitara Hashiridashiteta
The ring of the phone is painful. Surely, what I'll hear is that.
I'm just trying to escape the truth, though I know that it's cowardice to do so.
When I realise I'm thinking of you, I start to run away.

楽しかった日々は今も胸の中で生きてます
やり直せる君とだから歩き始めたアノ頃のように...
Tanoshikatta hibi ha ima mo Mune no naka de ikitemasu
Yarinaoseru kimi to dakara Arukihajimeta ano koro no you ni...
Those days we enjoyed are still alive in my heart, even now,
So I start to walk, as if to redo that time I spent with you…

降りしきる雨君に向かう程に冷たい
Furishikiru ame Kimi ni mukau hodo ni tsumetai
In the incessant rain, it's so cold I have no choice but to face you.

目の前には息を引き取った君
反応の無い「殻」無言がただ痛い
Me no mae ni ha iki wo hikitotta kimi
Hannou no nai "kara" mugon ga tada itai
Before me is you, who's passed away.
I'm just a "shell" with no reaction, hurting in the silence.

君の笑顔、君の涙、君の寝顔、君の声、君の体、君の僕、君にもう会えない
Kimi no egao, kimi no namida, kimi no negao, kimi no koe, kimi no karada,
kimi no boku, kimi ni mou aenai
Your smiling face, your tears, your sleeping face, your voice, your body...
I'm yours, and I can't see you again.

楽しかった日々はずっと胸の奥で生きるから
君は僕の記憶の中で明るい笑顔見せて
Tanoshikatta hibi ha zutto Mune no oku de ikiru kara
Kimi ha boku no kioku no naka de Akarui egao misete
Because the days we enjoyed are still alive deep inside my heart,
You are in my memories, showing me your bright smile.

夢の中で逢う君は相変わらず泣き虫で
このままずっとこの夢が覚めないようにそっと願った
Yume no naka de au kimi ha Aikawarazu nakimushi de
Kono mama zutto kono yume ga samenai you ni Sotto negatta
The you I meet in my dreams is a crybaby, just as you always were.
I've quietly hoped that I don't have to wake up from this dream.

消えないようにそっと願った
消えないようにそっと願った...
Kienai you ni Sotto negatta
Kienai you ni Sotto negatta...
So that you won't disappear, I've quietly hoped.
So that you won't disappear, I've quietly prayed...

蜃気楼 Translation

2012-01-09T12:54:00.001-07:00

A translation of Matenrou Opera’s “Shinkirou” from their single “Spectacular”. This is another one about domestic abuse, from the view of the girl being abused. The title, “Mirage”, probably refers to the girl’s perception of the one she is in love with; that is, that he loves her.

呼びなれたあなたの名前を誰よりも誰よりも多く叫んだ
あなたの傷あなたの孤独も誰よりも誰よりも私がわかっているから
Yobinareta anata no namae wo dare yori mo dare yori mo ooku sakenda
Anata no kizu Anata no kodoku mo Dare yori mo dare yori mo watashi ga wakatteiru kara
I've screamed out your name, calling for you, more than anyone else,
anyone else,
Because I understand your wounds and your loneliness, more than
anyone else, anyone else.

気づかないふりをしてるのね曖昧なあなたの視線が好き
今はまだ笑顔振りまけばいいあなたには私しか似合わないわ
Kizukanai furi wo shiteru no ne Aimai na anata no shisen ga suki
Ima ha mada egao furimakeba ii Anata ni ha watashi shika niawanai wa
You pretend like you don't realise I love the gaze you, so unclear, give me.
It's okay to still be lost to your smile, because I am the only one suited to you.

瞬きの時も夢の中でもあなたに会いたい
Mabataki no toki mo Yume no naka de mo anata ni aitai
I want to meet you, even if it's just for a moment, even if it's just in a dream.

私の胸の中鳴り続ける鼓動が歌う
あなたのその胸の鼓動に溶けて
一つを作り出す二人だけの世界を
あなたの為の私になれるの
Watashi no mune no naka Naritsuzukeru kodou ga utau
Anata no sono mune no kodou ni tokete
Hitotsu wo tsukuridasu Futari dake no sekai wo
Anata no tame no watashi ni nareru no
In my heart, my ever-ringing pulse sings
And melts into the palpitation of your heart.
The one thing we made, the world for just the two of us,
Is something I, who is only for you, grew used to.

どうして触れないのあなたが欲しいのに
この体を好きにしてあなた色に染めて
誰にも言わないわあなたの邪魔はしない
あなたの唇で私を塞いで
Doushite furenai no Anata ga hoshii no ni
Kono karada wo suki ni shite Anata iro ni somete
Dare ni mo iwanai wa Anata no jama ha shinai
Anata no kuchibiru de watashi wo fusaide
Why is it that even though I want you, whom I can't touch,
You do as you like to my body, dying it in colour?
I won't tell anyone. I won't be a bother to you.
Your lips stop me from doing so.

あなたの肌あなたの息あなたの熱あなたの声を
あなたの腕であなたの指であなたの舌先でもっともっと
愛して欲しい愛して欲しい今だけの快楽でも構わないから
私を見て私を見て私をあなたで満たして私だけを
Anata no hada Anata no iki Anata no netsu Anata no koe wo
Anata no ude de Anata no yubi de Anata no shitasaki de motto motto
Aishite hoshii Aishite hoshii Ima dake no kairaku de mo kamawanai kara
Watashi wo mite Watashi wo mite Watashi wo anata de mitashite Watashi dake wo
Your skin, your breath, your warmth, your voice,
With your arms, your fingers, and your tongue,
Make me want your love more, want your love. Because I don't mind the pleasure that comes only at this time,
Look at me, look at me. I satisfy you... me alone.

ねえ君は今も苦しそうに目を閉じて眠っているの?
ねえ僕は君を上手に愛せていたかな? わからなくなる
Nee Kimi ha ima mo Kurushisou ni me wo tojite Nemutteiru no?
Nee Boku ha kimi wo jouzu ni aiseteita kara? Wakaranaku naru
Hey, even now you have your eyes closed as if you're suffering. Are you asleep?
Hey, did I love you as best I could? I don't know anymore.

最後まで胸のつまる泣き顔みたい君の笑顔
少しだけ嫌いになる
Saigo made mune no tsumaru nakigao mitai kimi no egao
Sukoshi dake kirai ni naru
Until the very end, I hated, just a little bit, your smiling face that seemed like it was crying
That filled my heart.

見失って手を探り合って 2人のバランスで
少しの体温分け合って僕らはここにいた
Miushinatte Te wo sagariatte Futari no balance de
Sukoshi no taion wakeatte Bokura ha koko ni ita
We lost sight of each other and searched for each other's hands.
We're here together, balancing and sharing our little bit of body heat.

ああ生きて生きて心を擦り減らしたんだ
きっと僕だって君を追い詰めるきっかけのひとつだったわからないけど
Aa Ikite Ikite Kokoro wo suriherashita n da
Kitto boku datte Kimi wo oitsumeru kikkake no hitotsu datta Wakaranai kedo
Oh, live, live, and wear my heart away.
It's me that has only one chance to find you, though you may not realise it.

「その傷は忘れていい僕が覚えているから
これからは笑っていて」
"Sono kizu ha wasurete ii Boku ga oboeteiru kara
Kore kara ha Waratteite"
"It's all right if you forget that wound, because I remember it.
Let's just smile."

押し付け合っていたわり合って傷を付け合って
誰の記憶に残らなくても僕らはここにいた
Oshitsukeatte Itawariatte Kizu wo tsukeatte
Dare no kioku ni nokoranakute mo Bokura ha koko ni ita
We press together, sympathetic to each other, scarred together.
Even if we're not in anyone else's memories, we're here together.

一秒前は幸せだってどん底の穴はすぐそばにある
今はどんなに死に急いだって 2人の時間は変わらない
Ichibyou mae ha shiawase datte Donzoko no ana ha sugu soba ni aru
Ima ha donna ni shi ni isoida tte Futari no jikan ha kawaranai
For one moment before we were happy, and the very bottom of the pit is near
us now.
No matter what death comes, or how fast it is, it will never change the time we had together.

どうか辛い思いは僕ごと忘れてくれ
Dou ka tsurai omoi ha Bokugoto wasuretekure
Please, let us forget these heartbreaking feelings.

見失って手を探り合って 2人のバランスで
少しの体温分け合って僕らはここにいた
押し付け合っていたわり合って傷を付け合って
誰の記憶に残らなくても僕らはここにいた
Miushinatte Te wo sagariatte Futari no balance de
Sukoshi no taion wakeatte Bokura ha koko ni ita
Oshitsukeatte Itawariatte Kizu wo tsukeatte
Dare no kioku ni nokoranakute mo Bokura ha koko ni ita
We lost sight of each other and searched for each other's hands.
We're here together, balancing and sharing our little bit of body heat.
We press together, sympathetic to each other, scarred together.
Even if we're not in anyone else's memories, we're here together.

TOMORROW NEVER DIES Translation

2011-11-26T18:42:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “TOMORROW NEVER DIES” from their studio album “TOXIC”. This song has a lot of meaning to me, and it’s a very plainly- but powerfully-written piece. All those who believe that these men are degenerate and glorifying amoralism should rethink.

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to the GazettE and their label PS Company/Sony Music Japan.

~.oOOo.~

Don't delete the value to live for by death

感情を掻き乱して君が踊ってる
日々感じる苦悩を吐いて明日を生きられるなら
Kanjou wo kakimidashite kimi ga odotteru
Hibi kanjiru kunou wo toite ashita wo ikirareru nara
You dance, stirring up all these emotions.
Each day, you vomit up distress you feel so that you can live through to tomorrow.

The only words that I can say to you
―Don't forget the heat that felt here―

脈打つ鼓動胸に刺して君が嘆き叫ぶ
ヘドロ塗れのその足で此処に孤独を捨てに来ればいい
Myakuutsu kodou Mune ni sashite kimi ga nagekisakebu
Hedoro mamire no sono ashi de koko ni kodoku wo sute ni kureba ii
Pounding palpitations pierce your chest, and you scream and cry.
You can cast off the loneliness here if you come on your sludge-stained feet.

Spit out a pain here
Erase a hesitation
聞こえているかい?
Spit out a pain here
Erase a hesitation
Kikoeteiru kai?
Spit out a pain here
Erase a hesitation
Can you hear me?

To this day

How many times did you think about death?
In the small world
The death doesn't give freedom to you
Even feelings fade away
How many times did you think about death?
In the broken world

If you can believe nothing
Spit out a pain here

切りつける前に問いかけてみなあがいてまで生きてゆく価値に
明日を断つその無意味さに誰かが願った明日に―
Kiritsukeru mae ni toikekete mina Agaite made ikiteyuku kachi ni
Ashita wo tatsu sono muimisa ni Dare ka ga tayotta ashita ni
Ask what the value in living until you claw at the ground is before you ignore it¹.
Someone is wishing for that tomorrow you're meaninglessly cutting off―

How many times did you think about death?
In the small world
The death doesn't give freedom to you
Even feelings fade away
How many times did you think about death?
In the broken world
Tomorrow does not disappear
Don't kill yourself

Notes
1. The verb is actually “to cut off”, but another verb meaning “to cut off” is used in the next line, so for the sake of non-redundency I changed this.

崩れたBeauty 取り乱す背景
とてもじゃないけど笑えない
Night of pussy
Kuzureta Beauty Torimidasu haikei
Totemo ja nai kedo waraenai
Night of pussy
A backdrop of crumbled, scattered-about Beauty...
It's nothing much, but I can't smile.
Night of pussy

造形の媚び飲み込ます価値麻痺したRealに笑えない
焼け付いた喉で「もう飛べない」と君は言う
Zoukei kobi Nomikomasu kachi Mahi shita Real ni waraenai
Yaketsuita nodo de "Mou tobenai" to Kimi ha iu
I'm paralysed, unable to smile at the reality of moulded flattery that swallows
value.
You said, your throat burned, "I can't fly anymore."

背に咲く「事情」抱き寄せてもきっと散らせないね
吐息に混ざる俺は偽善か愛か?
Se ni saku "Jijou" Dakiyosete mo Kitto chirasenai ne
Toiki ni mazaru ore ha gizen ka ai ka?
Even if you embrace the "circumstance" that bloomed on your back, it certainly won't disperse.
Is it hypocrisy or love that mixes into my sigh?

胸元から滲む目隠しの救い
零れそうな言葉君には言えない
これ以上・・・これ以上は・・・
溶けそうな身体と裏腹に心は解け合えないから
Munamoto kara nijimu nekakushi no sukui
Koboresou na kotoba Kimi ni ha ienai
Kore ijou... kore ijou ha...
Tokesou na karada to urahara ni Kokoro ha tokeaenai kara
Running from my breast is the salvation a mask brings.
I can't speak to you the words that seem about to spill.
Anything more than this... anything more than this...
Is something that my heart can't understand as my body and the opposition
seem to melt away.

歩けない君はやがてまた俺に縋ってくる
焼け付いた喉で「もう飛べない」そしてまた繰り返す
Arukenai kimi ha yagate Mata ore ni sugattekuru
Yaketsuita nodo de "Mou tobenai" Soshite mata kurikaesu
Before long, you who can't walk are clinging to me again.
You say through your scorched throat, "I can't fly anymore", and say it
over and over again.

胸元から滲む目隠しの願い
零れそうな言葉君に伝えたい
これ以上・・・これ以上は・・・
溶けそうな身体と裏腹に心は解け合えぬ
Munamoto kara nijimu nekakushi no sukui
Koboresou na kotoba Kimi ni tsutaetai
Kore ijou... kore ijou ha...
Tokesou na karada to urahara ni Kokoro ha tokeaenu
Running from my breast is the salvation a mask brings.
I want to speak to you these words that seem about to spill.
Anything more than this... anything more than this...
Is something that my heart can't understand as my body and the opposition
seem to melt away.

君はドレスをまとう
影を背負ったアゲハ
夢を奪った歓楽の砂漠で
貴方さえ・・・貴方さえ・・・と
俺を望んだ日々に付いた
消えぬ背の「重ね傷」と生きる
Kimi ha dress wo matou
Kage wo seotta ageha
Yume wo ubatta kanraku no sabaku de
Anata sae... anata sae... to
Ore wo nozonda hibi ni tsuite
Kienu se no "kasane kizu" to ikiru
You wear a dress,
And your shadow wears a swallowtail
In this desert of pleasure that stole your dreams away.
Even you... even with you...
I will live on with the overlapping scars on my back
That won't disappear in the days I wished for.

時に肌を裂く程虚ろざらついた喉舌
目を開けて飲み込んだ幻惑壊れてゆけるように
Toki ni hada wo saku hodo utsuro Zaratsuita kouzetsu
Me wo akete homikonda meiwaku Kowareteyukeru you ni
In time so empty my skin was rent and my throat was dry,
I opened my eyes and drank in the illusions so that I could break.

疑念は解けたはず・・・
問いかけようの無い殺風景
抱き合うだけ無意味と
Utagai¹ ha hodoketa hazu...
Toikakeyou no nai sappuukei
Dakiau dake muimi to
The doubts should be cleared away...
The meaninglessness so tasteless
That we don't even question it, simply embrace it.

色を忘れた桜が舞うまだ上手く変われず
何かを求めたわけじゃない忘れてゆけるように
Iro wo wasureta sakura ga mau Mada umaku kawarazu
Nani ka wo motometa wake ja nai Wasureteyukeru you ni
Sakura that have forgotten their own colour dance as unskillfully as before.
I'm not searching for anything; I'm trying to forget.

裏切りを知ってたから
眠れるまで見つめさせて
深い嘘を
Uragiri wo shitteta kara
Nemureru made mitsumesasete

Because I knew betrayal,
Let me gaze at the hideous lies
Until I can fall asleep.

ただ哀れを演じ自惚れ廻る
伸ばす手さえ見えなかった
まやかしに接吻を傷に許しを
気付けばまた此処には誰も・・・
Tada aware wo enji Unubore Mawaru
Nobasu te sae mienakatta
Mayakashi ni seppun wo kizu ni yurushi wo
Kizukeba mata koko ni ha dare mo...
I only acted the pity and I wandered in hubris
Unable to see even the hands stretched out in front of me.
Even if I were to realise the deceit in the kiss, and the forgiveness of the wound,
There still would be no one here...

流し込む鎮静に解答など望まない
一瞬の逃避が終わりと知らぬフリを
Nagashikomu chinsei ni kaitou nado nozomanai
Isshun no touhi ga owari to shiranufuri wo
In the calm that pours down, I can't see the answer,
Not knowing that the moment for escape has already passed me by.

ただ笑うだけで滲んだ距離が
あまりにも悲しかった
塞ぐ度に狭まる距離は
優し過ぎて冷たかった
Tada warau dake de nijinda kyouri ga
Amari ni mo kanashikatta
Fusagu tabi ni sebamaru kyouri ha
Yasashisugite tsumetakatta
The distance that was blurred over with just a smile
Was really just too sad.
Every time the narrow way closed up,
It was so cold it was gentle.

色付いてく花びらのように
時が来れば思い出して
枯れ落ちてく花びらのように
時が来ても忘れないで
Irozuiteku hanabira no you ni
Toki ga kureba omoidashite
Kareochiteku hanabira no you ni
Toki ga kite mo wasurenai de
Like flower petals that change colour,
When the time comes, I will remember.
Like flower petals that wither and die,
Even if the time comes, I won't have forgotten.

Notes
1. “Ginen” (“doubt”) is written but Ruki sings “utagai” (“doubt”) instead.

Crazy humans - playing with other species
Crazy words - proving our egos

どんな現実がどんな言葉がどんな幸福がお望みなの?
今見えてる自由の中で望める自由を叫んだ
Donna genjitsu ga Donna kotoba ga Donna koufuku ga onozomi na no?
Ima mieteru Jiyuu no naka de Nozomeru jiyuu wo sakenda
What sort of reality, what sort of words, what sort of happiness do you wish for?
I can see now how the freedom we wish for screams out from inside freedom.

重力の声に魅せられ縛られることに安息を求め僕らは飼われることを望んだ
在るべき星の上で今、在るべき平和を掲げて
ああここに在ることここで生きてくそれも奇跡か?
Juuryoku no koe ni bakaserare shibarareru koto ni ansoku wo motome Bokura
wa kuwareru koto wo nozonda
Arubeki hoshi no ue de ima, arubeki heiwa wo kakagete
Aa Koko ni aru koto Koko de ikiteku Sore mo kiseki ka?
Bound and enchanted by the voice of gravity, we search for the repose we
hoped to raise.
Now, on the star on which we should live, we hoist the flag of peace that
should exist.
Ah, isn't the fact that we are here, that we are living here, a miracle inof itself?

Primal scream - beginning of life
Demier cri¹ - closing of life
Here comes a life - going straight to death
Time never stops - time never goes back

まるでジオラマおとぎ話がリアルに僕を試している
笑えるじゃない選択肢はない無力な僕がいるだけ
Marude diorama Otogibanashi ga real ni boku wo tameshiteiru
Waraeru ja nai Sentakushi ha nai Muryoku na boku ga iru dake
As if using a diorama, I try making a fairytale into reality.
I can't smile. There's no choice in it, because only the powerless me is here.

重力の声に魅せられ縛られることに安息を求め僕らは飼われることを望んだ
在るべき星の上で今、在るべき平和を掲げて
ああここに在ることここで生きてくそれも奇跡か?
きっと何億の人が今在る自分を証明したそれは自由でも奇跡でもない人のあ
がきさ
Juuryoku no koe ni bakaserare shibarareru koto ni ansoku wo motome Bokura
wa kuwareru koto wo nozonda
Arubeki hoshi no ue de ima, arubeki heiwa wo kakagete
Aa Koko ni aru koto Koko de ikiteku Sore mo kiseki ka?
Kitto nanoku no hito ga ima aru jibun wo shoumei shita Sore ha jiyuu de
mo Kiseki de mo nai, Hito no agaki sa
Bound and enchanted by the voice of gravity, we search for the repose we hoped to raise.
Now, on the star on which we should live, we hoist the flag of peace that
should exist.
Ah, isn't the fact that we are here, that we are living here, a miracle inof itself?
Surely, no matter how many people there are right now, I can prove I exist.
That's because even if there is no freedom, or miracles, people struggle on.

Creature - that's what I was born
Creature - that's what you were born
Creator - that's what dad is meant
Caress-hands - that's what mom is mean

Notes
1. “Demier cri” is a tricky one. Directly translated from French it means “half-cry”, but colloquially it means “the latest thing/try”. For this song, I would combine the two, because “the final cry” fits best. Anyone with a better idea, please do let me know.

いいわけを静かに聞き流してくれてたのは…
「夢を見ていたよ縋り付くだけの君に」
Iiwake wo shizuka ni kikinagashite kureta no ha...
"Yume wo miteita yo Sugaritsuku dake no kimi ni"
I silently ignored this excuse...:
"I had a dream that I held only to you."

―ありふれた言葉並べて隙間を埋めるのは簡単ね
許し合う事に疲れたのはいつまでも変わらぬキミの嘘―
―Arifureta kotoba narabete Sukima wo umeru no ha kantan ne
Yurushiau koto ni tsukareta no ha Itsu made mo kawaranu kimi no uso―
―The mundane words line up, and it's so easy for them to fill in the gaps.
I'm so tired of forgiving the lies you, who will never change, tell me.―

Why do I repeat myself again?

悲しませる「癖」にまた一つ言葉を失くす
その涙の理由さえも何故僕は壊すのだろう?
Kanashimaseru "kuse" ni mata hitotsu kotoba wo nakusu
Sono namida no wake¹ sae mo naze boku ha kowasu no darou?
In my habit of mourning, once again, I'm left with not even one word.
Is even the reason for those tears why I break down?

俯き床をなぞる交わさぬこの目を見つめ
問いかける声にまだ膝を抱えたままで
Utsumuki yuka wo nazoru Kawasanu kono me wo mitsume
Toikakeru koe ni mada hiza wo daeta mama de
These eyes, without looking away, gazed at you, traced over you lying on
the floor.
I asked with a questioning voice, holding to my knees:

Why do I repeat myself again?

悲しませる「癖」にまた一つ言葉を失くす
その涙の理由さえも何故僕は壊すのだろう?
Kanashimaseru "kuse" ni mata hitotsu kotoba wo nakusu
Sono namida no wake sae mo naze boku ha kowasu no darou?
In my habit of mourning, once again, I'm left with not even one word.
Is even the reason for those tears why I break down?

いつかの君が言っていた最期が見えた気がして
Itsuka no kimi ga itteita saigo ga mieta ki ga shite
I feel that I saw the last moments that you always spoke of.

少しずつ消えてゆく変わらない君の笑みに
少しずつ離れてゆく心に触れた気がした
Sukoshizutsu kieteyuku kawaranai kimi no emi ni
Sukoshizutsu hanareteyuku kokoro ni fureta ki ga shita
Little by little, your unchanging smile disappears.
Little by little, I felt that I touched the heart that had left me behind.

そう…悲しみがこれ以上聞こえぬように
Sou... kanashimi ga kore ijou kikoenu you ni
Yes... the sadness makes it so that I can't hear anything more than this,

そっと耳を塞ぐように
Sotto mimi wo fusagu you ni
As if to softly block up my ears

壊れてしまわないように
Kowareteshimawanai you ni
So that I won't completely break.

Notes
1. “Riyuu” (“reason”) is written, but Ruki sings “wake” (“reason”).

Mischief of the venomous spider

Notes
1. I believe that this section is meant to be a quotation of an attitude/ideal that Ruki thinks should be abandoned; that is, the idea that if someone is not part of your religion, they should just “go to hell” or they should “die” or “fall to pieces”. Unfortunately, this is in fact a rampant ideal to overly-strict adherents in many religions (go watch the news). At any rate, for it to make the best sense, this stanza should be written “If others won't join in, / They should just fall to pieces! / Abandon this ideal” complete with quotation marks, but since there are no original quotations, I left it as-is.

in chaos
The corrupt nest devoured by threats is Paradox that gouges out my melting
brain.
It's not only tomorrow that my eyes can't see, but also ideals tossed about
in infinite numbers.
Reality is an ever-distorting monochrome Paradox.
What's reflected in my eyes isn't hypocrisy, but your ideology of numbers
and ratios.

The melting retribution won't stop ringing,
As if to question my heart that seems about to fade away.
The now that doubts tomorrow hesitates,
And truth scatters in the sobbing sky.

現実は何時も歪む白と黒脳内を抉るParadox
Genjitsu ha itsumo yugamu shiro to kuro Nounai wo eguru Paradox
Reality always distorts the black and the white; Paradox gouges out my brain.

Notes
1. For lives, Ruki uses the kanji “setsu” (説, “rumour, opinion, theory”) interchangeably with “Paradox” for the video scrolls.
2. “Nounai” actually means “intracerebral/intracranial”, but since I couldn’t figure out a way to make that work with the phrase, I just used “brain”.

More than the bullshit comfort your beautiful crying face shows,
I want to face that person, and stop only the hatred.
Why is it that though you're not here, all those worthless morons are smiling?
I'll bring more hate forth from this world.

I remember this place, even though I can't see anything.
I tightly embrace the words and wishes we pledged to each other.

眠りから覚めた積み重ねた想い
誰もが生き急ぐ流れの速さを止め
Nemuri kara sameta Tsumikasaneta omoi
Daremo ga ikiosogu Nagare no hayasa wo tome
The emotions awoken from sleep pile up, one on the other.
Everyone lives so quickly... I will stop the speed of the flow,

涙に宿る感情と呼吸に溺れて
揺れるぎない確信を胸に秘めて空へ羽ばたく
Namida ni yadoru kanjou to Kokyuu ni oborete
Yurareruginai kakushin wo mune ni Himete sora he habataku
And drown in the tear-drenched emotions and breaths.
My unwavering convictions fly from my chest to the sky I've hidden.

I remember this place 信じてるまた逢えると
二人誓った言葉と願いを守り続けて
You'll just follow one's heart 何も恐れないよ
涙の数だけ強くなれると歩き続け辿り着いた
I remember this place Shinjiteru mata aeru to
Futari chikatta kotoba to negai wo mamoritsuite
You'll just follow one's heart Nani mo osorenai yo
Namida no kazu dake tsuyoku nareru to Arukitsuzuke tadoriarawaita
I remember this place, and I believe I'll see you again.
I continue to honour the words and wishes we pledged to each other.
You'll just follow one's heart. Don't be afraid of anything.
The number of tears you cry will make you stronger as you continue to walk
along and struggle through.

星空のもと輝き陽の光に照らされて
過去も未来もない世界新しい旅を
Hoshizora no moto kagayaki Hi no hikari ni terasarete
Kako mo mirai mo nai sekai Atarashii tabi wo
The starlit sky is glimmering, and I am illuminated in its glow
As I take a new journey through this world without past or future.

I remember this place この痛み流されてゆく
遙か昔の偉人が伝えた言葉に重ねる
You'll just follow one's heart 光に包まれて
生まれ變わる事が出来たならば貴女と共に…
I remember this place Kono itami nagasareteyuku
Haruka mukashi no ijin ga tsutaeta Kotoba ni kasaneru
You'll just follow one's heart Hikari ni tsutsumarete
Umarekawaru koto ga dekita naraba Anata to tomo ni...
I remember this place, where my pain flows away.
I repeat the words spoken to me in the faraway, distant past:
"You'll just follow one's heart, wrapped in light."
If I could be reborn, I'd be with you...

I remember this place
You'll just follow one's heart
I remember this place
You'll just follow one's heart

新しき時代を...
声にならない想いをどれだけ伝えられるだろう
傷つけた償いを胸に刻み貴女と
巡り逢えると信じて
Atarashiki jidai wo...
Koe ni naranai omoi wo Dore dake tsutaerareru darou
Kizutsuketa tsugunai wo Mune ni kizami Anata to
Meguriaeru to shinjite
A new age...
I wonder how much my voiceless feelings will be able to convey...
I engrave this painful atonement into my chest for you, because
I believe I will meet you again.

瞬きさえ忘れる美しさ
傷ついても構わないほどの美貌
Mabataki sae wasureru utsukushisa
Kizutsuite mo kamawanai hodo no bibou
The beauty that forgets even to twinkle,
A beauty that doesn't even matter if you hurt,

柱の影にあなたを誘って
腕をとりくちづけを
Hashira no kage ni anata wo sasotte
Ude wo tori Kuchizuke wo
Draws you into the shadows of the pillars.
Take my arms, kiss me.

鮮やかなドレスは闇に抱かれて笑いた花
僕の記憶の中だけの太陽のようで
いつでも輝いてまぶしいほどに照らしてくれ
Ah…このままあなたをさらって
夜の闇に閉じ込めていたい
Azayaka na dress ha Yami ni dakarete saita* hana
Boku no kioku no naka dake no taiyou no you de
Itsudemo kagayaite mabushii hodo ni terashitekure
Ah... kono mama anata wo saratte
Yoru no yami ni tojikometeitai
Your vivid red dress is a smiling flower embraced in darkness,
A sun in my memories only.
Shine, so that you're always gleaming brilliantly for me.
Ah... like this, I want to sweep you up
And shut you away in the darkness.

素顏を見せたあなたの頬に触れて
なくしたもの忘れかけた記憶を
Sugao wo miseta Anata no hoho ni furete
Nakushita mono Wasurekaketa kioku wo
You showed me your true face, and I touched your cheek.
It's all memories that have faded away.

思い出すのは二人の出会いと
傷つけたあの夜だけ
Omoidasu no ha futari no deai to
Kizutsuketa ano yoru dake
All I remember is our meeting,
And that night I hurt you.

綺麗な涙から生まれた新しい二人
あなたの優しさが今もまだ僕を責める
消えない傷跡をつけたのは確かに僕で
抱きしめながら円舞曲の樣な運命に震えて
Kirei na namida kara umareta atarashii futari
Anata no yasashisa ga ima mo mada boku wo semeru
Kienai kizuato wo tsuketa no ha tashika ni boku de
Dakishimenagara enbukyoku no you na sadame ni furuete
A new "us" was born from the beautiful tears you cried,
And even now, your kindness still chastises me.
While I hold you, the waltz of fate touches me
And draws out my never-disappearing scars.

代わる代わると円を描く舞踏
また巡り会えるまで
Kawarugawaru to en wo egaku butou
Mata meguriaeru made
The dancing draws out circle after circle
Until I meet you again.

鮮やかなドレスは闇に抱かれて笑いた花
遠い記憶の中だけの太陽のようで
いつでも輝いて眩しいほどに照らしてくれ
Ah…このままあなたをさらって
Azayaka na dress ha Yami ni dakarete waraita hana
Tooi kioku no naka dake no taiyou no you de
Itsudemo kagayaite mabushii hodo ni terashitekure
Ah... kono mama anata wo saratte
Your vivid red dress is a smiling flower embraced in darkness
Like a sun in my faraway memories only.
Shine, so that you're always gleaming brilliantly for me.
Ah... like this, I want to sweep you up

閉じ込めてしまいたいこの瞳の中だけに
僕だけの花になれ
Tojikometeshimaitai Kono hitomi no naka dake ni
Boku dake no hana ni nare
And shut you away. In my eyes,
You become a flower for me alone.

PSYCHOPATH Translation

THE SUICIDE CIRCUS Translation

2011-10-05T02:08:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “THE SUICIDE CIRCUS” from their studio album “TOXIC”. They have said that this song is the centre of the album’s theme.

I can’t promise I got the romanisation completely correct, since Ruki goes so fast and fairly low and quiet; if I have made a mistake, please let me know so I can fix it.

Visionの腐敗
Here is a hell on earth
I felt a chill
The disappointment that increases

Suicide circus

I felt a chill
The disappointment that increases

Decaying Vision
Here is a hell on earth

Aged hatred and young cold-blooded mind

Aged hatred and young cold-blooded mind

Aged hatred and young cold-blooded mind
Reason of the chill
Poverty resounds throughout that place,

Scattered about the Merciless scene.

噎せ返るような生々しさに人は惹かれ

People are drawn to the freshness so new it chokes them.
Even the fear that clung to the hand that shook will soon fade away.
Metamorphosis

All is paralyzed
Chain reaction
Sympathizers with a similar pain

救われた未来を抱え込み踏み外したその弱さも
塞ぎ込み見失う自分を断ち知って欲しかったその孤独も
不意に目の前を塞いだ苦悩の日々に掛け違うその憂鬱も
愛情故の言葉に憎悪抱き憎しみなく曝け出す狂気も
Sukuwareta mirai wo daekomi Fumihazushita sono yowasa mo

Fui ni me no mae wo fusaida kunou no hibi ni kakechigau sono yuuutsu mo
Aijouyue no kotoba ni zouo dake Nikushimi naku sarakedasu kyuki mo
Hold to the future that saved you, and even the weakness that made you stumble.
Cut off the you that mopes and loses sight, and even that loneliness you
wish to know.
You suddenly cross with the agony that filled the days before you, and the
melancholy,
And you embrace the hatred in the words of love, along with the madness
that confesses your hate.

もう戻れない絡まり過ぎて
Even death becomes the prey
Mou modorenai Karamarisugite
Even death becomes the prey
You can't turn back. You're too tangled up.
Even death becomes the prey

Heartless day
Bottom of the abyss
Suicide circus
Why is it repeated?
Suicide circus
Justice died
Bottom of the abyss
Suicide circus
Why is it repeated?

蛇は花を舐め安息捩じ込む
吐息の数も忘れないでね?
Ja ha hana wo name ansoku nejikomu
Toiki no kazu mo wasurenai de ne?
Tasting the flowers, the vipre thrusts into their repose.
Don't forget even how many breaths you took.

逸らさぬその目狂気這わせて笑う
愛するが故只其れだけの事
Sorasanu sono me Kyouki hawasete warau
Aisuru ga yue Tada Sore dake no koto
Those eyes never turn away as I crawl after you, laughing madly.
The reason I do is because I love you just that much.

I want to monopolize you
Lump of the envy
I want to monopolize you
Forever unchanging

何度肌重ねても貴男が滲む所為
この痴情は深くもう戻れぬ
Nando hada kasanete mo Anata ga nijimu sei
Kono chijou ha fukaku Mou modorenu
No matter how many times our skin touches, the reason you melt
Is because this blind passion is so deep we can never go back.

締め上げた手が吐息で濡れてる
僅かに感じた脈を数え忘れ
Shimeageta te ga toiki de nureteru
Wazuka ni kanjita myaku wo kazoewasure
The tied hands are wet with sighs,
And I forget to count how many pulses I weakly felt.

髪を撫でるような錆びた香りが
優越感と縺れる
Kami wo naderu you na sabita kaori ga
Yuetsukan to motsureru
I stroke through your hair, and your rusty scent
Twists me in a sense of superiority.

何度肌重ねても貴男が滲む所為
深紅散らし狂わせて
Nando hada kasanete mo Anata ga nijimu sei
Shinku chirashi Kuruwasete
You melt no matter how many times our skin touches,
And we go mad in the scarlet that scatters about.

痴情の果てに書いた「二人」は
そう…孤独じゃないと笑いかけてるようで
Chijou no hate ni kaita "futari" ha
Sou... kodoku ja nai to waraikaketeru you de
The "two of us" that are drawn out in the end of the blind passion,
Yes... we laugh because we're not alone.

心躍る

My heart skips.

HOLE Translation

2011-09-03T23:25:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “HOLE” from their single “LEECH”. This song fits in with the theme of the single, which is the rage against corporate control and anti-idolism.

ナイフからそう遠くはない
この距離さえ愛しい
Please freeze my malice.
Rape me in that cold eye and kindness.
Knife karasou tooku ha nai
Kono kyori sae itoshii
Please freeze my malice.
Rape me in that cold eye and kindness.
It's not long before the knife kills me,
But even this distance is dear to me.
Please freeze my malice.
Rape me in that cold eye and kindness.

愛した物が熟れ枯れる「湿度」に
憂鬱はやがて影をなぞって
噛みちぎるように這わす数重ね
満たされる事覚えたね
裂いた欲の声に悪意は無い
懺悔はこの詩に預けるよ
最愛に委ねられそうさ今更
何度目の嘘で終わるだろう

Saita yoku no koe ni akui ha nai
Zange ha kono uta ni azukeru yo
Saiai ni yudaneraresou sa Ima sara
Nandome no uso de owaru darou
The things I loved rot away in the "humidity".
My depression will soon trace down my shadow
And pile up, crawling behind me as if to gnaw at me.
I remember how satisfying it was
To have no malice rending my voice.
I leave your forgiveness in this song,
Trust it to my most beloved thing. I wonder if even then
All the lies will stop.

無意識に惹かれてゆく
疑いは愛撫で隠せる?
「Foolish brain」
It knows…
Please freeze my malice.
Rape me in that cold eye and kindness.
最期の嘘さ
Muishiki ni hikareteyuku
Utagai ha aibu de kakuseru?
"Foolish brain"
It knows...
Please freeze my malice.
Rape me in that cold eye and kindness.
Saigo no usosa
Drawn to the unconscious.
Will you hide the doubts in loving caresses?
"Foolish brain"
It knows...
Please freeze my malice.
Rape me in that cold eye and kindness,
In the falsehood of my last moments.

愛した物が熟れ枯れる「湿度」に

The things I loved rot away in the "humidity".
My depression will soon trace down my shadow
And pile up, crawling behind me as if to gnaw at me.
I remember how satisfying it was
To have no malice rending my voice.
I leave your forgiveness in this song.
The things I loved decay in the speed,
And they can't come back to me.
I dream

落ちてゆく
Ochiteyuku.
That it will fade away.

REMEMBER THE URGE Translation

2011-08-31T05:18:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s brand-new “REMEMBER THE URGE” from the single of the same name. I haven’t read any of the interviews about it yet, but I believe that it references the feelings of a child whose friend is physically/sexually abused (the priest manhandling children in the PV helps me with this idea, I’ll admit).

黒く塗り潰すように空白を埋めた
何処で狂い始めた?
あの日とは違うUgly rivalry
Kuroku nuritsubusu you ni kuuhaku wo umeta
Doko de kuruihajimeta?
Ano hi to ha chigau Ugly rivalry
So I could paint it out in black, I buried the blank space.
Where did I begin to go mad?
This ugly rivalry is different from that day.

鮮やか過ぎたのは夢を見過ぎたせい
今は何も感じない
Azayakasugita no ha yume wo misugita sei
Ima ha nani mo kanjinai
Because I dreamed that too-brilliant dream too much,
I can't feel anything now.

「想像」に身を投げる君へ
"Souzou" ni mi wo nageru kimi he
You throw your body into your "imagination",

鮮やか過ぎたのはきっと俺も同じで
今はただ時を見つめ
Azayakasugita no ha kitto ore mo onaji de
Ima ha tada toki wo mitsume
And surely, I am now just gazing
At the same too-clear time.

ねぇ聞こえるかい?
心が消えた音冷たく響く
崩れ出した世界の果てに
何が残る?
Nee Kikoeru kai?
Kokoro ga kieta oto Tsumetaku hibiku
Kuzuredashita sekai no hate ni
Nani ga nokoru?
Hey, can you hear
The cold echoes of the sound of a vanished heart?
What will be left
At the end of this world that's crumbled and died?

[My own enemy]
There is the need to disturb it now
[Your own enemy]
Never miss the eyes
Know your enemy

伝え切れぬ程此処は暗くて何も見えない
終わる事の無い空白に何を見る?
Tsutaekirenu hodo Koko ha kurakute nani mo mienai
Owaru koto no nai kuuhaku ni nani wo miru?
It's so dark here that I can't even tell you how I can't see anything.
In this endless nil, what are you looking at?

夢は儚く全てに苦しみを覚えた時に
信じられるのは自分で
Yume ha hakanaku subete ni kurushimi wo oboeta toki ni
Shinjirareru no ha jibun de
When I remember that dreams never last and everything is suffering,
The only one I can trust is myself.

ねぇ忘れないで
その目に映り込む光の先に
深い闇が存在しても
真実は一つだろう?
Nee Wasurenai de
Sono me ni utsurikomu hikari no saki ni
Fukai yami ga sonzai shite mo
Shinjitsu ha hitotsu darou?
Hey, don't forget
That even the light that used to reflect in your eyes
Also had deep darkness.
It seems only one of those is real.

CLEVER MONKEY Translation

Amayaka sareta sono tsura no kawa kono ba de
I tear it off
I send this song to the honest pink monkey
The skin of your pampered face... here in this place,
I tear it off

Dance until you die
Ungainly boy
You are too different from me
If you want stimulation
I give it

This is not hatred for you
Will it be some kind of mistakes to be overconfident?

Answer MF

You are clever monkey
Different from me
Ungainly boy
Dance until you die
Know yourself

This is not hatred for you
Will it be some kind of mistakes to be overconfident?
That's too bad...

SxDxR Translation

2011-08-28T03:01:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “SxDxR” from their studio album “DISORDER”. There are about a hundred things “SDR” could stand for, but believe that for this song it means “Sex, Drugs, and Rock and Roll”, which is quite apparent in the lyrics.

傀儡絵 Translation

2011-08-28T00:27:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “Kugutsue” from their single “Guren”. This is yet another song firing back at those in business who seek to control the band. The title is interesting, because “kugutsu” means “puppet”, but it can also mean “prostitute”, which is perhaps why Ruki used the word to reference how musicians are often expected to “prostitute” themselves out for gain.

混ざり合う色に見た孤独の絵が
目の前で溶けてゆく器用に殻を脱いで
Mazariau iro ni mita kodoku no e ga
Me no mae de toketeyuku Kiyou ni kara wo nuide
I saw a painting of solitude in the mixed colours,
And it melted away in front of my eyes, skillfully peeling away its shell.

垂れ流しの理想狂に踊らされる
頭蓋の中バランスも取れず
「何かが笑って」
歪んでゆく無くしながら
絡まる意図に首を預ける
Tarenagashi no risoukyou ni odorasareru
Zugai no naka balance mo torezu
"Nanika ga waratte"
Yugandeyuku Nakushinagara
Karamaru ito ni kubi wo azukeru
I am manipulated by those obsessed with the ideals of incontinence,
Who have no mental balance.
"Something is laughing."
I offer my neck to their entangled aims,
And it snaps as they do nothing.

Affection on the surface.
Peel off pretence!

剥がした羞恥心によって
悶絶するその素顔は真相に歪む
「何かが笑って」
飾りあげるその悲哀情
吐き気を誘う不快な存在
Hagashita shuuchishin ni yotte
Monzetsu suru no sugao ha shinsou ni yugamu
"Nanika ga waratte"
Kazariageru Sono hiaijou
Hakike wo sonau fukai na sonzai
Because I've peeled away my shame,
They faint at the sight of my unpainted, truly-distorted face.
"Something is laughing."
I'll decorate it with my feelings of sadness.
It's an unpleasant existence that causes nausea.

Affection on the surface.
Peel off pretence!

伸ばす手を掴みきれず想いが散り混ざり合うの
褪せた日はその絵を眺め枯れて逝く
掲げた夢さえ脱ぎ去る君よ
Nobasu te wo tsukamikirezu Omoi ga chirimazariau no
Aseta hi ha sono e wo nagamekareteyuku
Kakageta yume sae nugisaru Kimi yo
Unable to grab my ideals with the hand I stretched out, we scatter to bits.
The faded days in that picture wither and pass away.
Even the dream I brandish high is taken from me by you.

You are in a part of the gear.

やがて喉に詰まる何かに震え出す
与えられた光を影だと知る
砕け散った青きあの日々深く背負い眠り
何も救えぬと知り乱れる
Yagate Nodo ni tsumaru nani ka ni furuedasu
Ataerareta hikari wo kage da to shiru
Kudakechitta aoki ano hibi Fukaku seioinemuri
Nani mo sukuenu to shirimidareru
Finally, whatever blocks off my throat is trembling.
I know the shadow of that light you gave to me.
Those beautiful days you smashed sleep, deeply burdened.
I know that I can't save anything.

不意に流されてゆく夢を見て
押さえ続けてたのに
An error is deep…
今更溢れる涙では
Fui ni nagasareteyuku Yume wo mite
Osaetsuzuketeta no ni
An error is deep...
Ima sara afureru namida de ha
I saw the dream that unexpectedly flowed out,
And though I continue to control it,
An error is deep...
My tears overflow, and it's too late.

伸ばす手を掴みきれず想いが散り混ざり合うの
褪せた日はその絵を眺め枯れて逝く
剥がれる声さえ「もう」聞こえ無い
Nobasu te wo tsukamikirezu Omoi ga chirimazariau no
Aseta hi ha sono e wo nagamekareteyuku
Hagareru koe sae "mou" kikoenai
Unable to grab my ideals with the hand I stretched out, we scatter to bits.
The faded days in that picture wither and pass away.
I can't even hear the voice I cast off say, "No more."

その痛み知る君はやがてまた此処に種を植えて
色付いた花が咲く何時かを願う
その痛み知る君が震えずに水を注げた頃に
見た事の無い色の花がまた君を誘う
Sono itami shiru kimi ha yagate mata koko ni tane wo uete
Irozuita hana ga saku Itsuka wo negau
Sono itami shiru kimi ga furuezu ni mizu wo sosogeta koro ni
Mita koto no nai iro no hana ga mata kimi wo sasou
You, who knows this pain, will plant a seed.
I pray for a flower that changes its colours to bloom someday.
The time you who knows that pain pour out water with no hesitation,
The flower whose colours you can't see will again lure you.

You are in a part of the gear.

DISTORTED DAYTIME Translaion

2011-08-27T23:56:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “DISTORTED DAYTIME” from their single “LEECH”. Keeping with the theme of the title track, “DISTORTED DAYTIME” rages against the music industry. Originally I thought this was all in English, and I missed the three lines in Japanese, so here is the largely unnecessary translation! x3

I ask you it. Have you tasted sorrow?
「The feelings are deeper than death...」
Teach it. Why does not tragedy have an end?
Why is it?

You are afraid of the crowd. [Coward!]
Even the excrement can't be picked up. [Coward!]
底無しの鬱
You are afraid of the crowd. [Coward!]
You can't wipe even blood to flow. [Coward!]
You are afraid of the crowd.
You are afraid of the crowd. [Coward!]

Sokonashi no utsu
You are afraid of the crowd. [Coward!]
You can't wipe even blood to flow. [Coward!]
You are afraid of the crowd.
You are afraid of the crowd. [Coward!]
Even the excrement can't be picked up. [Coward!]
Bottomless depression...
You are afraid of the crowd. [Coward!]
You can't wipe even blood to flow. [Coward!]
You are afraid of the crowd.

Is it the punishment in proportion to a crime?
Laws cannot heal pains all the time.
Can you deny it?
Even if time passes, the wound does not fade away.
Before distortions increase.
Please command death penalty.
Discussion is not necessary.
Carry out death penalty early!

The weak of a red mask.
Hell drawing.
The crowd who is confused.
The follower who does not die out.
The coward of red eyes.
Hell drawing.
The crowd who is confused.
Hey coward...please die!

You are afraid of the crowd. [Coward!]
Even the excrement can't be picked up. [Coward!]

Hey coward
歪みは消えぬ「模倣の模倣」
A chain reaction.
The weak of a red mask.
Hell drawing.
The crowd who is confused.
The follower who does not die out.
The coward of red eyes.
Hell drawing.
The crowd who is confused.
Hey coward
Yugami ha kienu "Mohou no mohou"
A chain reaction.

Hell drawing.
The crowd who is confused.
Hey coward
The distortion of "the copy of a copy" won't disappear.
A chain reaction.

虚無の終わり　箱詰めの黙示 Translation

A translation of the GazettE’s “Kyomu no Owari Hakozome no Mokushi” from their single “Guren”. Ruki says that this is a song criticising newcasting and the way they manipulate their viewers. Let’s see if you can see it in the lyrics.

影を浮かせ見守られた息表情さえ薄く
Kage wo ukasemimamorareta iki Hyoujou sae usuku
The breath that watches over me floats on the shadows, pale even in its
expression.

捻曲がった顔の剥がれぬ皮と
爛れて糸を引く激情に寡黙を
Nejimagatta kao no hagarenu kawa to
Tadarete ito wo hiku gekijou ni kamoku wo
I pull at the bent and twisted skin of my face and the festering threads
That I can't peel away, silent in a violent fury.

真実を流す目明日には震えず口を開けて
Shinjitsu wo nagasu me Ashita ni ha furuezu kuchi wo akete
My eyes cry truth, and tomorrow I will open my steady mouth.

らららららららら
その小さな箱ばかり見つめ
ららららららららら
黒は底へ沈み
La Lala La Lala La La
Sono chiisa na hako bakari mitsume
La Lala La Lala Lala La
Kuro ha soko he shizumi
La Lala La Lala La La
I'm looking only at that small box,
La Lala La Lala Lala La
Sinking into the depths of darkness.

何故と問い魅せられ痛く
浸る目が溢れ次に何を手招き生み落とす
Naze to toibamiserare itaku
Hitaru me ga afure Tsugi ni nani wo temaneki umiotosu
I ask the charming pain
Why my flooded eyes are overflowing. What will be born at your next beckon?

映された断片を指し喰らう様に根を明かす
Utsusareta danpen wo sashi Kurau you ni ne wo akasu
The reflecting fragments point me out so the divulging roots eat me.

何を目的とし何を伝えたいのか
無意味な精神解明は何を救うのか
Nani wo mokuteki toshi nani wo tsutaetai no ka
Muimi na seishin kaimei ha nani wo sukuu no ka
What is your aim? What do you want to tell me?
What can your nonsensical, elucidated mind save?

らららららららら
その小さな箱の中でさえ
ららららららららら
黒は深く沈み
La Lala La Lala La La
Sono chiisa na hako no naka de sae
La Lala La Lala Lala La
Kuro ha soko he shizumi
La Lala La Lala La La
Even if it's just in that small box,
La Lala La Lala Lala La
I sink deeply into darkness.

何故と問い魅せられ痛く
浸る目か溢れ繰り返してゆく
悲しみに魅せられ痛く
潤むだけの目に何を求め願おう
Naze to toi miserare itaku
Hitaru me ga afure Kurikaeshiteyuku
Kanashimi ni miserareitaku
Urumu dake no me ni nani wo motomenegaou
I ask this charming pain
Why my flooded eyes overflow over and over again.
What am I trying to search for with such eyes
Clouded by grief from the charming pain?

禁句より重い其処に…
Kinku yori omoi soko ni...
In that place which is more severe than even the forbidden words...

行く先もわからずただ足を前に出して
歩くだけでよかった生きる意味なんてまだわからない
Yukusaki mo wakarazu Tada ashi wo mae ni dashite
Aruku dake de yokatta Ikiru imi nante mada wakaranai
Without knowing our destination, we just put one foot in front of the other.
Even just walking is fine, because we still don't know the meaning of living.

Calling you I'm Calling you
ただ今をただ今を声に乗せて
Calling you I'm Calling you
歌っていた前がどこかを探る様に
Calling you I'm Calling you
Tada ima wo Tada ima wo Koe ni nosete
Calling you I'm Calling you

Calling you I'm Calling you
Just now, just now, with my voice
Calling you I'm Calling you
That I sing with, so that I will find you somewhere before me.

僕の足音が響く１人の足音が
１つ２つと増えていく並んで歩いていく足音君の
Boku no ashioto ga hibiku Hitori no ashioto ga
Hitotsu futatsu to fueteiku Narandearuiteiku ashioto kimi no
My footfall echoes, the footfall of one person.
One, two, slowly increasing, walking towards me are your footsteps.

Calling you I'm Calling you
僕達はこの今を同じ様に
Calling you I'm Calling you
見ているか聴こえているか同じ呼吸で
Calling you I'm Callin you
Bokutachi ha kono ima wo onaji you ni
Calling you I'm Calling you
Miteiru ka Kikoeteiru ka Onaji kokyuu de
Calling you I'm Calling you
Because we are the same as this now,
Calling you I'm Calling you
Can you see? Can you hear? We draw the same breath.

ここにいるよ僕はここにいるよ
この声が聴こえているか同じ呼吸で
Koko ni iru yo Boku ha koku ni iru yo
Kono koe ga kikoeteiru ka Onaji kokyuu de
You're here, and I'm here.
Can you hear my voice? We draw the same breath.

Calling you I'm Calling you
僕達は何を目指すわけでもない
Calling you I'm Calling you
ただそばにただそばに出会えたんだ
Calling you I'm Calling you
Bokutachi ha nani wo Mezasu wake de mo nai
Calling you I'm Calling you
Tada soba ni Tada soba ni Deaetanda
Calling you I'm Calling you
We have nothing to aim for,
Calling you I'm Calling you
We just, we just want to be close together.

Calling you I'm Calling you
今君を僕は君を呼んでいる
Calling you I'm Calling you
歌ってくれ１人きりの歌を一緒に
Calling you I'm Calling you
Ima kimi wo Boku ha kimi wo yondeiru
Calling you I'm Calling you
Utattekure Hitorikiri no uta wo issho ni
Calling you I'm Calling you
Now, I'm calling for you, calling for you
Calling you I'm Calling you
Sing with me, the song of being alone.

Open your eyes, breathe, and listen. We can see that now,
This world we already love, even looking at the history that was written down,
Is a world only for us.

And the time I die, you will die too.
Opening my eyes, I can see you right next to me.
I took a breath and listened to this world that we're in.

This brilliant space expanded,
Because we came into life on our own.

Nothing in believe and everything is wrong
Nothing in real and everything is alone
I wanna hear nothing and say nothing
Reach for the end 'cause everything is wrong

Can't see the truth
I'm going crazy now
Pull a trigger
Shoot a REVOLVER BLAST

Nothing in believe and everything is wrong
Nothing in real and everything is alone

Can't see the real
I'm going crazy now
Pull a trigger

Limited life is waiting for you with REVOLVER BLAST
Moyeru omoi ni juusei to tomo ni

Let's open the windhole in your heart
So that we can begin things from here and now.

When you stamp out the truth, what can you see?
You should choose the things that are real.

I knew from the beginning. That's why I'm not sad.
I want to try to count the numbers, little by little, little by little.

草木の枯れる色がぼやけ季節の終わりが理解らない
Kusaki no kareru iro ga boyake Kisetsu no owari ga wakaranai
The withered colours of the plants complain that they don't know the end
of the seasons.

Following our tracks, I call out for the days I heard footfall.
I won't even wish. To me, tomorrow is something that can't be changed.

草木が枯れる音を辿り季節の終わりを感じる

Following the sounds of the withering plants, I feel the season coming to
an end.
When the flowers bloom into their full colour, what will be left for me?

The moon closes the curtains, but the sun will illuminate me.
I knew from the beginning. That's why I'm not sad.

Though the night in which I'm awake isn't over, even though there are no
stars shining,
Even if all the lights that colour the city go out...
It's enough that I saw the joyful face of my beloved, whom I should have protected,
In his last moments, so I'm all right.

ガンジスに紅い薔薇 Translation

2011-07-25T16:26:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “Ganges ni Akai Bara” from their studio album “Stacked Rubbish”. This is the one song for which one of the front three hasn’t written music for – drummer Kai wrote the music, and it has a touch of his jazz roots. The song’s title refers to the river Ganges in India, which is the most sacred river in Hindu. They believe its waters are purifying and can redeem the dead; these beliefs are probably why the song makes references to the Ganges.

If I were to liken you to something,
You're a crow that seems about to fall into the water's surface with wings
spread wide. What are you looking at with those playful, innocent eyes?

痩せた手天を指す少女にどうか安楽を・・・

Please, give peace to that girl whose thin hand now reaches for heaven...

The brass rosario that hangs from your neck
Replaced a light-brown leather rope.
A hymn of mixed smiles stops, and as it does, you miss a step.

I clasp my hands together in deep prayer this shyly-ornamented February.
Oh God who will not save us, please, answer me.
If the meaning of life can only be felt in death, then it is in death that
the flower of life will bloom.
The colourless God and the roses that wither in sleep
Embrace you as you drown deeply in beautiful darkness.

In a morning where not even shadows are left behind, what is there other
than this now?

君に告げるどうか悲しまないでその目に何も映らなくても

I ask of you, please don't be sad even if nothing is reflected in those eyes.

If the meaning of life can only be felt in death, then it is in death that
the flower of life will bloom.
I sing the words of desertion.

How many times today will we make a festival of this birth day decorated
in silence?
In this beloved place where you were born and raised,
You'll be forever beautiful in your sleep
On your journey decorated with red, weakly-trembling roses.

Kimi ga kokoro kara waraeru you na Koufuku ha soko ni aru no ka
These aren't the tranquil words you wished to leave me.
Are you happy there, so you can laugh from the depths of your heart?

Notes
1. “Seimei” (“life”) is written, but Ruki sings “inochi” (“life”).
2. “Genjitsu” (“reality”) is written, but Ruki sings “ima” (“now”).

「父さん、母さん。私、あの人と東京で暮らす事にしました。馬鹿な事だとは十分
解ってます。
私だってもう子供じゃありません。自分で考えられます。
ごめんなさい。最後のわがまま許して下さい…」
"Tousan, kaasan. Watashi, ano hito to Toukyou de kurasu koto ni shimashita.
Baka na koto da to ha juubun wakattemasu.
Watashi datte mou kodomo ja arimasen. Jibun de kangaeraremasu.
Gomennasai. Saigo no wagamama yurushite kudasai..."
"Mother, father. I'm living with that person in Tokyo. I know that it's
stupid of me.
But, I'm not a child anymore. I can think for myself.
I'm sorry. Please forgive my final bit of selfishness..."

愛する人が今の私の全てです
貴方がいるから私が私でいられるの
あの日貴方から渡された東京行きの切符と
打ち明けてくれた、将来と夢は
「この街を出て東京で一緒に暮らしてくれないか?」
私は少し戸惑いながらも嬉しかった
不安なんて少しでもなかった    愛する人がいっしょですから
幸い時や寂しい時も多少あるでしょうが
頼る家族も捨ててきました    馬鹿なせいや未練も全部
貧しさが身に染み渡る   だけど貴方が居るから
帰りを待つ時間さえも幸せで溢れてる
心を込めて作った貴方が好きな料理
喜ぶ顔が早く見たい… 見たいです
Ai suru hito ga ima no watashi no subete desu
Anata ga iru kara watashi ga watashi de irareru no
Ano hi anata kara watasareta Tokyo yuki no kippu to
Uchiaketekureta, shourai to yume ha
"Kono machi wo dete Tokyo de issho ni kurashitekurenai kai?"
Watashi ha sukoshi tomadoi nagara mo ureshikatta
Fuan nante sukoshi de mo nakatta Ai suru hito ga issho desu nara
Tsurai¹ toki ya samishii toki mo tashou aru deshou ga
Tayoru kazoku mo sutetekimashita Baka na amai² ya miren mo zenbu
Mazushisa ga mi ni shimiwataru Dake do anata ga iru kara
Kaeri wo matsu jikan sae mo shiawase de afureteru
Kokoro wo kometetsukutta anata ga suki na ryouri
Yorokobu kao ga hayaku mitai... mitai desu
The person I love most is my everything now.
Because you are here, I can exist.
That day, with the ticket to Tokyo you gave me,
You spoke your dreams and ideas for the future frankly:
"Won't you leave this town and come live with me in Tokyo?"
I felt a bit lost, but I was so happy.
I didn't have even the littlest bit of doubt, because I'd be with my beloved.
I've had many painful and lonely times, but
I threw away the family I loved to come here, and the affections and my name, naive as it was.
We are very poor, but because you're here,
I am so happy just waiting for you to come home.
I put all my heart into making your favourite foods.
I want to see your happy face... I want to see it.

「東京の生活にも慣れてきました。
あの人は毎日夜遠くまでお仕事がんばってます。
そのせいでしょうか、最近元気が無い様に思えます。
私が聞いても、ただくたびれた笑顔を見せるだけで
答えてくれません。心配で仕方ないです。」
"Tokyo no seikatsu ni mo naretekimashita.
Ano hito ha mainichi yoru tooku made oshigoto ganbattemasu.
Sono sei deshou ka, saikin genki ga nai you ni omoemasu.
Watashi ga kiite mo, tada kutabireta egao wo miseru dake de
Kotaetekuremasen. Shinpai de shikata nai desu."
"I've become used to life in Tokyo.
That person is working very hard every night, so far away.
I think that it's due to that that he hasn't had much energy lately.
Even if I ask, he'll smile at me tiredly
And not answer. I'm so worried, but I can't do much about it."

「ただいま。」
"Tadaima."
"I'm home."

とても優しい貴方の声
幸い時はいつも二人で支え合った
どんなに不幸でも二人なら大丈夫だった
愛が冷めた訳じゃない    ただお互いの気持ちが
そっぽを向いてただけ
初めて貴方が泣いてた    社会に破れた夜
何て声をかけたらいいか、、、教えて
夢の為に無くした幸せな家庭は
前を向けずただ悔しくて泣いている
貧しさが身に染みる    二人は手を取って
季節はずれの線香花火を見つめてる
この火種が落ちて    未練が無くなったら
目を閉じて極寒の海へ、、、二人で。
繋いだ手がほどけて    無になる私と貴方。
Totemo yasashii anata no koe
Tsurai¹ toki ha itsumo futari de sasaeatta
Donna ni fukou de mo futari nara daijoubu datta
Ai ga sameta wake ja nai Tada otagai no kimochi ga

Kono hidane ga ochite Miren ga naku nattara
Me wo tojite gokkan no umi he... futari de.
Tsunaida te ga hodokete Mu ni naru watashi to anata.
Your so-gentle voice
Always supports the two of us and brings us happiness.
No matter what unhappiness may come, if it's the two of us, it'll be all
right.
There's no reason for our love to have cooled. It's a mutual feeling,
But you turn and look the other way.
This is the first time you've cried. Did work wear you out,
Or was it something I said...? Tell me.
So that we wouldn't lose our dreams, without facing me,
Or this happy home we've made, you cry pitifully.
It's the poverty that you come home to. We hold hands
And watch the season's last sparklers.
The coals die down. If our affections disappear,
We'll close our eyes and sink into the sea of intense cold... just the two of us.
Our entwined hands come apart - our hands, you and me who have
passed away.

「貴方と過ごした十三ケ月間。本当に色々ありましたね。
一緒に居たからよく解ります。頑張り過ぎてつかれたでしょ?
もう大丈夫私ずっと一緒にいるから。ごめんね父さん、母さん。
あたしこの人無しじゃ生きて行けない。心配させてごめんなさい。
ごめんなさい。ごめんなさい…」
"Anata to sugoshita juusankagetsukan. Hontou ni iroiro arimashita ne.
Issho ni ita kara yoku wakarimasu. Ganbarisugite tsukareta desho?
Mou diajoubu Watashi zutto issho ni iru kara. Gomenne tousan, kaasan.
Atashi kono hito nashi ja ikiteikenai. Shinpai sasete gomennasai.
Gomennasai. Gomennasai..."
"I spent thirteen months with you. So many things happened.
I understand that it was because we were there together. We tried so hard,
didn't we?
It's all right, because I'll be with you forever. I'm sorry father, mother.
I can't live without him. I'm sorry to make you worry.
I'm sorry. I'm sorry..."

Notes
1. “Awai” (“happiness”), but Ruki sings “tsurai” (“pain”); a pun since they are close in pronunciation. For the second time it is used, I left the meaning as “awai” in my translation.
2. “Seiya” is written, but Ruki sings “amai”, which have the same meaning.

LAWN DAISY Translation

2011-07-25T04:03:00.001-07:00

A translation of Matenrou Opera’s “LAWN DAISY” from their single “acedia”. This is one of their less-emo and more-hopeful songs, with upbeat music to match.

祈るようにあなたの瞳を見つめた
どうしようもなく胸がつまる
次に聞こえるあなたの言葉が二人を繋ぐと信じて
Inoru you ni anata no hitomi wo mitsumeta
Dou shiyou mo naku mune ga tsumaru
Tsugi ni kikoeru anata no kotoba ga futari wo tsunagu to shinjite
As if to pray, your eyes gazed so far off.
There is nothing I can do if your heart is closed off.
I believe that hearing the next thing you say will tie the two of us together.

どうして報われない恋なんて選んだのかな
幸せ、ソレが恋をする気持ちだと思ってたのに
Doushite mukuwarenai koi nante eranda no ka na
Shiawase, sore ga koi wo suru kimochi da to omotteta no ni
I wonder why I chose a love that would never reward me.
I just thought that... feeling love would be happy.

それでも今あなたを想ってる生活は嫌じゃない
後悔だけはしたくないから今はあなたを求めたい
Sore de mo ima Anata wo omotteru seikatsu ga iya ja nai
Koukai dake ha shitaku nai kara Ima ha anata wo motometai
Even so, now when I think of you, life isn't detestable.
Because I don't want to do nothing but regret, I search for you now.

寂しいだけ?
1人が怖いからそばにいたいのかな?
Samishii dake?
Hitori ga kowai kara Soba ni itai no ka na?
Is it just because I'm lonely...?
Because I'm afraid to be by myself, I want to be by you?

唇に今触れたい抱きしめてほしい
あなたの肌に包まれたなら私の全てを存在をあげる
Kuchibiru ni ima Furetai Dakishimete hoshii
Anata no hada ni tsutsumareta nara Watashi no subete wo Sonzai wo ageru
My lips want to touch you now, I want to hold you so tightly.
If I were to be wrapped in your body, it would give existence to my whole being.

あなたが生まれてくれたから
こんなにもこんなにも素晴らしい世界に私は巡り会えた
Anata ga umaretekureta kara
Konna ni mo Konna ni mo Subarashii sekai ni watashi ga meguriaeta
Because you were born,
I was able to meet you like this in this wonderful world.

振り返るといつも私は決まって想いを口にできなかった
でも違う今は違うあなたに知ってほしい
私の想いを私の存在を
Furikaeru to Itsumo watashi ha kimatte Omoi wo kuchi ni dekinakatta
Demo chigau Ima ha chigau Anata ni shitte hoshii
Watashi no omoi wo Watashi no sonzai wo
Looking back, it seemed certain that I would never be able to speak my feelings.
But, I was wrong. I'm wrong now, and I want you to know
My feelings, and my existence...

coal tar Translation

2011-07-25T03:30:00.001-07:00

A translation of Matenrou Opera’s “coal tar” from their major debut album “Abyss”. The lyrics and tone of this song really struck a chord with me, which is probably part of the reason why I found it so easy to translate my first time through.

「呼んでる誰の声だろう
確かな幸せな声
今そこに行くよ今」
"Yonderu Dare no koe darou
Tashika na Shiawase na koe
Ima soko ni iku yo Ima"
"Whose voice is calling?
It's really such a happy voice.
I'm going there now, I'm going now."

「ずっとはぐれていたの
ずっと寂しかったの
もう手を離さないで
この手を離さないで」
"Zutto hagureteita no
Zutto samishikatta no
Mou te wo hanasanai de
Kono te wo hanasanai de"
"I was always astray...
I was always so lonely.
Don't let go of my hand anymore...
Please don't let go of my hand."

今日もコールタールの海
逃げるように目を閉じた
Kyou mo coal tar no umi
Nigeru you ni me wo tojita
I closed my eyes again today
So I could escape into that ocean of coal tar.

真暗な世界に身を置いてやがて来る眠りを待つ
今まで見てきたこと感じてきたこと私はもう忘れたい
軽薄な祈りは鮮やかに逃げている今の私を映した
嫌になってくる私でいること私という何もかも
Makkura na sekai ni mi wo oite Yagate kuru nemuri wo matsu
Ima made mitekita koto Kanjitekita koto Watashi ha mou wasuretai
Keihaku na inori ha azayaka ni Nigeteiru ima no watashi wo utsushita
Iya ni nattekuru Watashi de iru koto Watashi to iu nani mo ka mo
I leave my body behind in a pitch-black world, and wait for sleep to finally
come and claim me.
I want to forget everything I've seen and felt up until now.
The frivolous prayers I prayed reflect me as I run away.
I came to hate myself more than I could ever say.

今日もコールタールの海
夢中で手を伸ばす
Kyou mo coal tar no umi
Muchuu de te wo nobasu
Today, lost in a dream, I reach out my hand
From that sea of coal tar.

「赤い夕日が見えた
もうすぐ夜になるから
早く帰らなくちゃ早く」
"Akai yuuhi ga mieta
Mou sugu yoru ni naru kara
Hayaku kaeranakucha hayaku"
"I could see the red setting sun.
Because soon it'll be night,
I have to hurry, hurry home..."

今日もコールタールの海
沈んでいくことが上手くなった
息も続かないけど
溺れさせてはくれない
Kyou mo coal tar no umi
Shizundeiku koto ga umaku natta
Iki mo tsuzukanai kedo
Oboresasete ha kurenai
Today, I sank so wonderfully
Into a sea of coal tar.
I couldn't even keep breathing, but
I never did drown.

負けないように笑顔を見せた心が折れないように
誰かに愛されれば今よりはまだ生きたいと思えるかもしれないから
だけど上手に見つめられない
だって私が私自身を嫌いなんだから信じられないの自分の全てが好きになれな
いの
愛されたいよ愛していたいよ
Makenai you ni egao wo miseta Kokoro ga orenai you ni
Dare ka ni ai sarereba Ima yori ha mada Ikitai to omoeru kamoshirenai kara
Dakedo jouzu ni mitsumerarenai
Datte watashi ga watashi jishin wo Kirai nan da kara Shinjirarenai no Jibun
no subete ga suki ni narenai no
Ai saretai yo Ai shiteitai yo
So that I wouldn't lose, so that my heart wouldn't break, I showed a
smiling face.
If I was really so loved, I would probably want to live more than I do right now,
But, I can't find that will so easily.
So, because I hate myself so much, I can't believe, and I can't love all
of myself.
I want to be loved... I want to love.

誰でもいい助けてもう消えたいの
Dare de mo ii Tasukete Mou kietai no
I don't care who, please just help me. I want to disappear.

陽炎の中歩き出す影
過去も未来も時間さえもない
Kagerou no naka Arukidasu kage
Kako mo mirai mo toki¹ sae mo nai
The shadow that walked forth from the mirage
Is timeless, without past or future.

苦しみを奏でる雷の声
あの日空に響いた
Kurushimi wo kanaderu ikazuchi no koe
Ano hi Sora ni hibiita
The sound of thunder that plays sadness
Resounded through the skies of that day.

いつも私たちの胸に“あなた”がいて
変わらず笑ってくれていた
夢から覚めるたび想いは強くなる
今こそ交わした約束を
Itsumo watashitachi no mune ni "anata" ga ite
Kawarazu warattekureteita
Yume kara sameru tabi omoi ga tsuyoku naru
Ima koso kawashita yakusoku wo
You're always here in our hearts,
Smiling just as you always were.
Every time I wake from my dreams, the feelings,
And the promise we exchanged, grow stronger.

宇宙の誕生生命の増殖
感情の転生屈折した愛
Uchuu no tanjou Seimei no zoushoku
Kanjou no tensei Kussetsu shita ai
The birth of the universe, the multiplying fates,
The transmigration of emotions, the love that yielded...

そう傷口は時間の歪み迷宮へ
暗闇の中、光は幾億の出口からこの身体を選び流れ出す
赤い薔薇に姿を変えながら
Sou kizuguchi ha toki no yugami Meikyuu he
Kurayami no naka, hikari ha ikuoku no deguchi kara kono karada wo erabinagaredasu
Akai bara ni sugata wo kaenagara
Yes... the wounds from them warp time to a labyrinth.
In the darkness, countless little lights spring forth from the exits of
this chosen body
As it changes into the form of a red, red rose.

宿命に呑み込まれて不条理な風が冷たい
もがくたびに締め付けられて
Shukumei ni nomikomarete Fujouri na kaze ga tsumetai
Mogaku tabi ni shimetsukerarete
The inconsistent wind is so cold, tightening around me
Every time I struggle to swallow my fate.

強く咲き誇る為にきっと私たちは夢を見る
涙流すことさえ出来ない瞳で
Tsuyoku sakihokoru tame ni Kitto watashitachi ha yume wo miru
Namida nagasu koto sae Dekinai hitomi de
Because the dream we see blooms so beautifully and strongly,
Even these eyes that cannot cry weep.

影は牙をむき出しにまた無意味な血が流れる
もう見たくない悲しい顔は
Kage ha kiba wo mukidashi ni Mata muimi na chi ga nagareru
Mou mitaku nai Kanashii kao ha
Once again, meaningless blood flows through the shadow's bared fangs.
I don't want to see your sad face again.

蒼い水晶が見せた蝶が羽ばたく綺麗な世界
今も信じてるから覚悟を決めた
Aoi suishou ga miseta Chou ga habataku kirei na sekai
Ima mo shinjiteru kara Kakugo wo kimeta
The blue crystal showed me a beautiful world where butterflies flutter.
Because I believe in that even now, I've decided².

I'm going to be every rose for you in eternity
You're going to play with me for peace in the song

I'm going to be every rose for you in eternity
You're going to play with me for peace in the song
I'm going to be every rose for you in eternity

無機質な時代の中で背負うものに恵まれ
厳しくも確かな人生に感謝する
Mukishitsu na jidai no naka de Seou mono ni megumare
Kibishiku mo tashika na jinsei ni kansha suru
Please bless the burdens everyone bears in this inorganic time.
Even though it's so hard, be grateful for human life.

Ah…最後に願い叶うなら
どうかこの声を届けて
Ah... Saigo ni negaikanau nara
Dou ka kono koe wo todokete
Ah... if in the end my wish would be granted,
My voice would reach you.

壊れてしまうから大切な世界が
この手で守って閉じ込めてた
赤い薔薇に変えた記憶の中の血を受け止め
現実の海へ送り出す
Kowareteshimau kara Taisetsu na sekai ga
Kono te de mamotte tojikometeta
Akai bara ni kaeta kioku no naka no chi wo uketome
Genjitsu no umi he okuridasu
Because it will break, I locked away and protected
My so-important world with my own hands.
I take the red roses that bloomed forth from blood in my memories
And send them out into the sea of reality.

そして私たちが夢見たあの場所で
友よあなたと歌おう
Soshite watashitachi ga Yumemita ano basho de
Tomo yo anata to utaou
And in that place in the dreams we saw,
We sing with you, our dearest friend.

Notes
1. “Jidai” (“era”) is written, but Kamijo sings “toki” (“time”).
2. “Kakugo wo kimeru” is one of those Japanese phrases difficult to translate – it literally means “decided a determination”. I just used “decided” in this case to fit the song.

Adult Children Translation

2011-07-18T23:21:00.001-07:00

A translation of Matenrou Opera’s “Adult Children” from their single “Helios”. This song seems to be aimed at the ridiculous lies and petty triumphs that everyone takes in order to elevate themselves higher, regardless of what they have to do or say to get as high as possible. Perhaps in this way, the adults are just the same as children that play lying games to one-up each other.

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to Matenrou Opera and their label Sherow Artist Society/Bellwood Records.

夜明けが迫りくる
招かざる感情
深紅の逆流に私は酔いしれた
Yoake ga semarikuru
Manekazaru kanjou
Shinku no gyakuryuu ni watashi ha yoishirete
The morning draws near
And emotions beckon me,
Getting me drunk on the deep crimson you regurgitate.

心臟から解き放たれたなら
グラスへ降り注げ
そう痛みはない
Shinzou kara tokihanatareta nara
Glass he furisosoge
Sou itami ha nai
When your heart releases it from deep inside,
It flows into a glass.
See, it doesn't hurt.

Ah…美しく爪を立てて
首筋をなぞる
Ah... utsukushiku tsume wo tatete
Kubisuji wo nazoru
Ah.... with beautiful nails,
I trace over your neck.

許されない愛だから
今だけ全て奪いたい
唇で隱した言刃をもっと感じてくれ
Yurusarenai ai da kara
Ima dake subete ubaitai
Kuchibiru de kakushita kotoba¹ wo motto kanjitekure
Because it's an unforgivable love,
I want to lose everything just for now.
Let me feel those blades your lips hide, more and more.

Jesus Christ

闇の中これ以上彷徨いたくはない

I don't want to wander through the darkness any longer.
I want my body to burn in your warmth.

静けさだけ…
許されぬまま深い霧の中蘇る
Shizukesa dake...
Yurusarenu mama fukai kiri no naka Yomigaeru
Only in silence...
Will I revive, unforgiveable, in this thick fog.

そう美しい記憶たちが

Yes, my beautiful memories
Will burn with the rising of the sun.

Juujika wo egaku karada

The body painted onto the cross
With both arms spread like wings...
I don't even care
If it will burn my body away.

許されない愛だから
もう何も恐れはしない
その声その身体その過去全て奪いたい
Yurusarenai ai da kara
Mou nani mo osore ha shinai
Sono koe sono karada sono kako subete ubaitai
Because this is a forbidden love,
I'm not afraid of anything anymore.
I want to steal all of it, that voice, that body, and that past, away.

Jesus Christ

Notes
1. As far as I know, this isn’t a real compound. Kamijo uses it in place of the real kanji for “kotoba” (“words”). The two kanji used hear mean “speak” and “blade”, respectively.

契約を終えて祭壇で笑う惡魔の影
姿を変え未だ存在する
Keiyaku wo oete Saidan de warau Akuma no kage
Sugata wo kae mada sonzai suru
On the altar at the end of the contract laughs the shadow of a demon,
Its shape still changing.

光なき闇に残された孤独
彼女はまだ生き続けていた螺旋の中
Hikarinaki yami ni nokosareta kodoku
Kanojo ha mada ikitsuzuketeita rasen no naka
I left behind loneliness in the the dark without light,
But she continues to live in the midst of a spiral.

夢よ覚めないで
(imagine, blazing, freezing, damage)
冷えた体だけが
Yume yo samenai de
(imagine, blazing, freezing, damage)
Hieta karada dake ga
O dreams, do not awaken.
(imagine, blazing, freezing, damage)
Only the cold body will

どこまでも果てしなく続く時代を越えて
信じ合い許し合う為に生き続けた
惡魔にその身を預けて
Doko made mo hateshinaku tsuzuku toki¹ wo koete
Shinjiai yurushiau tame ni ikitsuzuketa
Akuma ni sono mi wo azukete
Overcome the time which continues without end.
Continue to live, so you can believe, so you can forgive,
And give your body unto that evil demon.

終わりなき悲しみは浅い眠りの中
抱きしめて暖めて深く眠らせてあげる
Owarinaki kanashimi ha asai nemuri no naka
Dakishimete atatamete fukaku nemurasete ageru
I will embrace the neverending, sleepless sadness,
Warm it, and give it unto deep sleep.

どこまでも果てしなく続く時代を越えて
信じ合い許し合う為に生き続けた
惡魔にその身を預けて
この身を捧げて
Doko made mo hateshinaku tsuzuku toki wo koete
Shinjiai yurushiau tame ni ikitsuzuketa
Akuma ni sono mi wo azukete
Kono mi wo sasagete
So that you can overcome the toki that continues without end,
So you can believe, so you can forgive, continue to live,
And give your body unto that demon.
Consecrate your body.

暗くて何も見えない誰もが敵に思えた
ただ只管耳を塞いだ
容赦なく襲う幻聴独り闇と闘った
何処ニ在ルノ僕ノ居場所
Kurakute nani mo mienai Dare mo ga teki ni omoeta
Tada hitasura mimi wo fusaida
Yousha naku osou genchou Hitori yami to tatakatta
Doko ni aru no boku no ibasho
It was so dark I couldn't see anything, and I thought everyone was my enemy.
I blocked off my ears, but
Auditory hallucinations attacked without mercy, and I fought the dark all alone.
Just where am I...?

其処に‥
手を差し伸べてくれたのはいつも泣いてた君だった
Soko ni...
Te wo sashinobetekureta no ha Itsumo naiteta kimi datta
And there...
The one holding out their hand to me was you, who always cried.

僕から闇を奪う弾け飛び散る希望
掴んだ君の手温もりあふれ
何時までも繋がっていたいよ
捜し求めていた心の場所
Boku kara yami wo ubau Hikitobichiru hikari¹
Tsukanda kimi no te Atsumori afure
Itsumade mo Tsunagatteitai yo
Sagashimotometeita Kokoro no basho
Steal away the darkness from me, lift me high with light.
The warmth in your hand I took overflowed.
I want to be tied to you forever,
So I searched for the place of the heart.

傷付いて俯いたら海に連れ出してくれた
波の音が心に響く
寂しくて震える夜そっと抱き締めてくれた
胸の痛み恐怖さえも
Kizutsuite utsumuitara Umi ni tsuredashitekureta
Nami no oto ga kokoro ni hibiku
Samishikute furueru yoru Sotto dakishimetekureta
Mune no itami Kyoufu sae mo
When I was hurt, I hung my head and let the sea take me away.
The sound of the waves echo in my heart.
Because I was so lonely, the trembling night took me in and softly held
me close,
And the pain in my heart, and even the fear

凡て…
包み壊してくれるのはいつも決まって君だから
Subete...
Tsutsumikowashitekureru no ha Itsumo kimatte kimi dakara
All of it...
The one who wrapped around me and broke it all away was you, who was always so decided.

傍に居てくれたから僕は僕で居られた
その優しい微笑み消えぬように
君とならより高く飛べるさ
誰にも譲れない絆だから
Soba ni itekureta kara Boku ha boku de irareta
Sono yasashii hohoemi Kienu you ni
Kimi to nara Yori tataku toberu sa
Dare ni mo yuzurenai Kizuna da kara
Because you were by my side, I could be myself,
And it seemed as if your gentle smile would never fade away...
If I am with you, I can fly even higher,
Because we have bonds that I will hand over to no one else.

僕から闇を奪う弾け飛び散る希望
掴んだ君の手温もりあふれ
抱きしめてくれた君を忘れない
笑わせてくれた君を忘れない
Boku kara yami wo ubau hiketobichiru hikari
Tsukanda kimi no te Atsumori afure
Dakishimetekureta kimi wo Wasurenai
Warawasetekureta kimi wo Wasurenai
Steal away the darkness from me, lift me high with light.
The warmth in your hand I took overflowed.
I won't forget you who held me...
I won't forget you who smiled for me.

Notes

1. “Kibou” (“hope”) is written, but Kimeru sings “hikari” (“light”).

Last Game Translation

2011-07-14T13:22:00.001-07:00

A translation of Matenrou Opera’s “Last Game” from the single of the same name, which was later included on their album “ANOMIE”. The lyrics carry the feelings of what seems to be a physically- and emotionally-abusive relationship… a theme I’ve noticed fairly consistently in Sono’s lyrics.

飾られた言葉重ね合っていた唇で
愛しているなんて気持に変えないで

Haitsukubari Aeida koe ga suki dakara

These decorative words you speak as our lips overlap
Can't change my feelings to "I love you".
I like your gasping voice, so crawl after me.
Don't gaze at me with those miserable eyes.

もっと懇願して誘感して
持てるだけの嘘を全部握りしめ

憂いの吐息吹きかけてくれ
Motto kongan shite yuukan shite
Moteru dake no uso wo zenbu nigirishime

Entreat me more, call for me more.
I only have lies to handle you.
Let me force distressed sighs
From your dry body.

俺はまだいけない    まだ

Oh Gaia who I hurt, I will make you more and more beautiful.

透明な傷口を押さえて優しい声を待たないで

Pinning you down with transparent wounds, I won't wait for your kind voice.

潤んだ瞳でもっと見つめてよ

Gaze at me with those clouded eyes more and more.
Deep inside my heart, the sensations of when I held you are so precious.
It will repeat over and over, irritating me, making you more dear to me.
I will hold you tighter with this arm I wrap around your back.

愛してなんていないのに
抱き合う度安らぎがある離したくない

Though there's nothing like love,
Every time we embrace, there is such peace, and I don't want to let you go.

These decorative words you speak as our lips overlap
Can't change my feelings to "I love you".
I like your gasping voice, so crawl after me,
Just like that.

I won't let you go. Our entwined fingers
Slip over your sweat-drenched, heated body.
I'll gaze down at you with gentle eyes.

遠くで陽が沈む光が見えた
敷き詰められたビルの灯りが浮かぶ
どれだけの人達が今日の太陽を覚えてるだろうか
Tooku de hi ga shizumu hikari ga mieta
Shikizumerareta biru no akari ga ukabu
Dore dake no hitotachi ga kyou no taiyou wo mieteru darou ka
I could see the light of the faraway sinking sun...
I wonder how many people can remember today's sun as
The lights of the sprawling, suffocating buildings float up.

思い描いた夢は月日と共に変わり
僕は縛り付ける
死にたいと願うこともここから逃げたいと願うことも叶わない
Omoiegaita yume ha tsukihi to tomo ni kawari
Boku ha shibaritsukeru
Shinitai to negau koto mo Koko kara nigetai to negau koto mo kanawanai
The dream I imagined, and the days and years change,
Tying me.
Even the prayer made in want of death, and the prayer made in want of escape
from this place won't be granted.

何を望んで生きてるの?
わからない
Nani wo nozondeikiteru no?
Wakaranai
Why do we live on, hoping and dreaming?
I don't understand it.

本当は理由が欲しいだけ
Hontou ha riyuu ga hoshii dake
I really just want a reason for it.

輝きは空を埋めて鮮やかに舞う
進み続ける人々の群れに息ができない
抑えつけられていた感情が溢れ気がふれてく
僅かな希望は涙となり憎しみを糧に流れていく
Kagayaki ha sora wo umete azayaka ni mau
Susumitsuzukeru hitobito no mure ni iki ga dekinai
Osaetsukerareteita kanjou ga afure Ki ga fureteku
Wazuka na kibou ha namida to nari Nikushimi wo kate ni nagareteiku
Radiance fills the sky and dances about vividly.
The crowd of people that continue to press on can't breathe.
The feelings they repressed are overflowing, and their spirits waver,
Their little hopes turn to tears, and their hatred overflows into their sustenance.

傷と胸の痛みを比べ逃げようとする心を抑える
耳鳴りは止まずこの街の笑い声を掻き消してく
Kizu to mune no itami wo kurabe Nigeyou to suru kokoro wo osaeru
Miminari ha tomazu Kono machi no waraigoe wo kakikeshiteku
Comparing the wounds and the pain in my chest curb my heart that wishes
for escape.
The ringing in my ears won't stop, erasing the laughing voice of this city.

燃え尽きて    灰となって    この手を伸ばす
掴むまでは    今見えるもの掴むまでは
生きて    この自分をこの体で叫ぶ
生き続けることの痛み    叫び続けて
Moetsukite Hai to natte Kono te wo nobasu
Tsukamu made ha Ima mieru mono tsukamu made ha
Ikite Kono tsubasa wo kono karada de sakebu
Ikitsuzukeru koto no itami Sakebitsuzukete
It burns out and turns to ash. I stretch my hand out,
And until I can grab it, grab the things I was able to see today,
I'll live on. My wings scream with this body,
Scream with the pain of continuing to live.

A translation of Matenrou Opera’s “Kizuna” from their single “Helios”. They wrote this song for the victims of the 3/11 Earthquake to express their sympathies and hopes for a better future. It’s a soft and gentle song, with the music soaring to that prayer.

Boku no hou he Kokoro wo yosete
Close your eyes, close your eyes, and draw out just a little bit of strength. Somehow, collect it within your exhausted body,
And let your heart come to me.

終わりのない時の一瞬が今の僕達
静かに強く息をする音が
僕らを優しくする
Owari no nai toki no isshun ga ima no bokutachi
Shizuka ni tsuyoku iki wo suru oto ga

We will, for just a moment in this neverending time,
Kindly keep the sound
Of the strong breath you take in the silence.

きっと寂しさもひとつ消えていく
きっと僕達は

この距離も何もかもを越えていけ
Kitto Samishisa mo Hitotsu kieteiku
Kitto Bokutachi ha
Kono sora wo koete tsuujiaeru
Kono kyori mo nani mo ka mo koeteyuke
Surely, even the loneliness will someday disappear.
Surely, we will
Be able to pass through this distance and everything else
If we can cross through this sky and understand together.

あなたがいること私がいること
1人じゃない手と手を繋げる思いは
すぐそばにあるすぐそばにいる

Hitotsu ja nai Te to te wo tsunageru omoi ha
Sugu soba ni aru Sugu soba ni iru

You're here, and I'm here.
We're not alone. Please don't forget
The feelings we had when we held hands
And were so close together, so close together.

どれだけの気持ちをどれだけの涙で
流し続け刻んできたのかわからない
強くなくていい頼ることだって
小さな絆になっていく
共に歩くことを僕らは知ってる
Dore dake no kimochi wo Dore dake no namida de
Nagashitsuzuke Kizandekita no ka Wakaranai
Tsuyoku nakute ii Tayoru koto datte
Chiisa na kizuna ni natteiku
Tomo ni aruku koto wo bokura ha shitteru
I don't know how long these feelings
Will continue to flow out through these tears and engrave themselves.
You don't have to be strong. Relying on each other,
Those feelings will become our small, small bonds,
And I know that we will walk on together.

Eclipse ~月食の遊戯~ Translation

A translation of Asriel’s “Eclipse ~Gesshoku no Yuugi~” from the album “Garnet no Hamon ni Somaru Sora” and later remixed for “”Kaikouroku Shiroban REINCARNAT”. This song, true to form, displays the Gothic sense the artist is famous for in its lyrics and dark, glittering music.

That too-sweet darkness melts.
It invites me,
Enchanting honey, a trap I cannot contest.
The feelings of pleasure shake
My degrading body.
The black that extinguishes the moon, eclipse, darkness,
Breaks me into tiny pieces.
The eclipse that extinguishes my heart swallows me.
With that, I'm not afraid anymore.

鉄の鈍色映える

The dark-grey iron shines,
And I'll adorn you with it.
This shimmering red suits you,
My beloved.
I touched the warmth, just for a moment...―――
Overwhelmed with ecstasy, I spun, dancing,
My skirt fluttering softly around me.
Come here, I'll give you something nice.
I tempt you with sweet scent.

Raising a knife,
I pierce it so deeply into you.

Yes, with this, you too are mine.
One last time, I softly kiss
Your pale, cold lips.
My heart seemed to ache.

Naze darou ka... namida ga afureteiku
Oh... did... did I do something wrong?
I wonder why... my tears are overflowing.

You lose yourself because the time flies so fast
Makes it hard to know which road to go down
Stopping at the between reality and a nightmare
You miss your chance

You are up against the wall with the time passing by so fast
You can't remember your purpose
Tell yourself
This is where the end begins
Forget your old self
Take your new chance now

Keep on going Overtake your sorrow
'cause you will see a world that nobody could imagine
Believe in yourself

I go far, far beyond the frontier
To you, who leads me with fever-tinged wind,
Because my heartbeat is now accelerating.

Someday, they will shine upon you.

I believe in the light I've yet to see,
Since you can hear my voice right now.

A translation of Matenrou Opera’s “Helios” from their brand-new single of the same name. Though the opening line, Sono claims he no longer has a god to pray to , the lyrics carry some smatterings of prayers to Helios the Sun God of ancient Greece, and the hope that the lyrics carry echoes of what blessings Helios has to bestow; namely, warmth and a path for the future.

We're standing here now,
Unsure of what to do but feel.

And that there is no one I should hate.
I can see the road I must go down before me, so don't be afraid.

O light of hope that wraps around me, you are more sublime than anything...
Living breath illuminates the ends of this earth, and all of the sky.
I sing as if I'll burst, and the radiant scream of life
Resounds through all my body.

Of love, and affection.
My temperature rises, and my voice withers.
We all burn with the same life.

MASQUERADE Translation

2011-06-29T17:21:00.001-07:00

A translation of Versailles’ “MASQUERADE” from their new album “Holy Grail”. This is my personal favourite from the album, a beautifully-wrought lament of the transience of human life. It is rife with symbolism and questions that Kamijo encourages the listeners to decipher.

Please do not steal this translation or use it without my permission. All rights belong to Versailles and their label Sherow Artist Society/Warner Music Japan.

Ah...ひび割れた真実が
今、音を立て崩れてゆく
全て暴く刹那の夜
Ah... hibikareta shinjitsu ga
Ima, oto wo tatekuzureteyuku
Subete abaku setsuna no yoru
Ah... the cracked truth
Will now collapse into sound,
Exposing everything in the moment of night.

もう...何が偽りなのか?
何が確信なのか? (I don't know)
全てがあなたに見える
形のない心へ
飾りのない言葉で
今歌おう
Mou... nani ga itsuwari na no ka?
Nani ga kakushin na no ka? (I don't know)
Subete ga anata ni mieru
Katachi no nai kokoro he
Kazari no nai kotoba de
Ima utaou
I don't know anymore
What are lies and what are my convictions.
Able to see all of it in you,
I’ll now sing
Plain words
To your shapeless heart.

I can't leave you alone
When I close my eyes
流れる星のように
月の光も呑み干せばいい
闇という永遠の為に
I can't leave you alone
When I close my eyes
Nagareru hoshi no you ni
Tsuki no hikari mo nomihoseba ii
Yami to iu towa no tame ni
I can't leave you alone.
When I close my eyes,
Like a falling star,
I'll drink up even the moon dry of its light
For the sake of this eternity called "darkness".

この世はMasquerade
仮面を着けた魂達が踴る舞踏会
瞳だけが映し出す本当のあなたを抱きしめて
運命に墮ちてゆく

Hitomi dake ga utsushidasu hontou no anata wo dakishimete

This world is a Masquerade,
A splendid ball where masked souls dance.
I'll embrace the true you that reflects in only my eyes,
And plunge into my fate.

I can't leave you alone
When I close my eyes
あふれる星の中で
あなたと出会う為に生まれた
永遠の意味を信じて
I can't leave you alone
When i close my eyes
Afureru hoshi no naka de
Anata to deau tame ni umareta
Eien no imi wo shinjite
I can't leave you alone.
When I close my eyes,
Flowing to the core of a star
And born from my meeting with you
Is my belief in the meaning of eternity.

この世はMasquerade
仮面を著けた魂達が踴る舞踏会
瞳だけが知らないあなたをその心を抱きしめて
運命に墮ちてゆく
Like a Masquerade
Like a Masquerade
Kono yo ha Masquerade
Kamen wo tsuketa tamadachi ga odoru butoukai
Hitomi dake ga shiranai anata wo sono kokoro wo dakishimete
Unmei ni ochiteyuku
Like a Masquerade
Like a Masquerade
This world is a Masquerade,
A splendid ball where masked souls dance.
I'll embrace the heart of the you I don't know with my gaze
And plunge into my fate,
Like a Masquerade
Like a Masquerade

Departure Translation

2011-06-14T03:48:00.001-07:00

A translation of DELUHI’s single “Departure”. It looks like this is going to be the last song they’ve put out, which is really sad since they are such a talented group. While the music is not my favourite from them, the lyrics are quite inspirational, and I hope that each member will take the feelings from the words to this song as they all move in their individual directions after July.

I want no destination
I can't tell you where, I'm going even if you ask me.

I want new vibrations
No more wastin' time, I can't wait for the day to come
I don't stray anymore!

I want no stagnation
If I ask you in five years time
''Do you still have the same dream?''
Let me hear from you

Going as far as I can reach with my hands
I will never find what I long for
I don't wanna chase what's in front of me
I only have to go faraway in search of some unseen destination

It's time of departure for the future
その一歩がきっと景色を変えていくんだ
Don't look back. Set off without thinking
理由よりももっと大切な事があるんだ
It's time of departure for the future
It's time of departure for the future
Sono ippo ga Kitto keshiki wo kaeteiku n da
Don't look back. Set off without thinking
Riyuu yori mo Motto taisetsu na koto ga aru n da
It's time of departure for the future
It's time of departure for the future
That one step will surely change the scenery.
Don't look back. Set off without thinking
There is something far more important than reason.
It's time of departure for the future.

There is no use thinking before you start
Just go ahead and do it
Once you are out on the road you will soon find
The answer you are looking for
Simply is in your view, in your mind
Feel your imagination

It's time of departure for the future
踏み出す事が明日を切り開いていくんだ
Don't look back. Set off without thinking
その涙はいつか強い想いに変わる
It's time of departure for the future
It's time of departure for the future
Fumidasu koto ga asu wo kirihiraiteiku n da
Don't look back. Set off without thinking
Sono namida ha itsuka tsuyoi omoi ni kawaru
It's time of departure for the future
It's time of departure for the future.
The fact that you're pressing on will cut through tomorrow.
Don't look back. Set off without thinking.
Those tears will someday change to strong feelings.
It's time of departure for the future.

新たな日夕が
未知なる日夕が
待っているから
Arata na nisshiki ga
Michi naru nisshiki ga
Matteiru kara
The brand-new nightfall...
The nightfall that's become unknown...
I'm waiting for it.

赫い鼓動Translation

2011-06-05T19:24:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “Akai Kodou” from their single “Reila”. It is the harshest track included over all the versions of “Reila”, documenting a sort of bitter and darker turn the band takes around this time.

干涸びた街痩せ焦がれた野良犬老いた皮膚貪る子供の群れ
無力な愛の手を差し伸べてる磔の弱者は言った
Hikarabita machi Yasekogareta norainu Oita hifu musaboru kodomo no mure
Muryoku na ai no te wo sashinobeteru Haritsuke no jakusha ha itta
A city that has completely dried up, a stray dog's yearning has grown thin,
a crowd of children lusting after aged skins...
An incompetent love holds out its hand to me, saying this is the crucifixion
of the weak.

God of death is calling me ...
God of death sings the last song

這いつくばって泥喰らう者「an eyes like the dead fish」の如く
無様な醜い哀願してもこの地獄にはオアシスなど用意されていない
Haitsukubatte doro kurau mono "an eyes like the dead fish" no gotoku
Buzama na minikui aigan shite mo Kono jigoku ni ha oasis nado youi sareteinai
Those who crawl and grovel with their faces in the mud are like eyes of
dead fish.
Even if they entreat me looking as unsightly and ugly as they do, there will be no oasis made for them in this hell.

「水の無い海の魚」「巣の中で共食いの蟻」
「蛇革で出来た雛の■」油無しじゃ燃えぬ太陽の下
"Mizu no nai umi no sakana" "Su no naka de tomogui no ari"
"Hebikawa de dekita hina no ■" Aburanashi ja moenu taiyou no shita
"Fish of a waterless sea" "In a nest of cannibalistic ants"
"The doll's ■ is made of snakeskin" All under a sun that cannot burn
without oil.

God of death is calling us ...
God of death sings the last song

今時が終焉を指す向かう場所に声は無く
ただ冷たい風とどす黒い雨が降りしきる音だけ虚しい
Ima Toki ga shuuen wo sasu Mukau basho ni koe ha naku
Tada Tsumetai kaze to dosuguroi ame ga furishikiru oto dake munashii
Now, time points to the end. The place you face is without voice,
Void but for the sound of the cold wind and dark rain falling.

全ての生きる者達よ鼓動は今も聞こえるかい?
明日への光が地に落下しても
その運命から目をそらさないで
Subete no ikiru monotachi yo Kodou ha ima mo kikoeru kai?
Asu he no hikari ga chi ni rakka shite mo
Sono unmei kara me wo sorasanai de
All you who live, can you hear the pulsation now?
Even if the light of tomorrow falls to the earth,
Don't look away from that fate.

時が終わりの鐘鳴らし逃げ場さえ退廃してる
ただ其処には呼吸すら忘れてる赤黒い抜け殻の絨毯
身は果て土に帰る眠りについた鼓動達
その「身」は「血」は「脳」は一つの種になり
再生の朝綺麗な花に成るだろう
Toki ga owari no hane narashi Nigeba sae taihai shiteru
Tada Soko ni ha kokyuu ura wasureteru Akaguroi nukegara no juutan
Mi wo hate tsuchi ni kaeru Nemuri ni tsuita kodoutachi
Sono "mi" ha "chi" ha "mune" ha Hitotsu no tane ni nari
Saisei no asa Kirei na hana ni naru darou
The ringing of the bells of the end of time crumble even our refuge.
There, I even forget to breathe. A dark red carpet of shed skin,
My body perishes and returns to the earth. The pulsations suit my sleep.
That "body", that "blood", that "memory" will become one seed.
The morning of rebirth becomes a beautiful flower.

Without A Trace Translation

2011-06-05T18:21:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “Without A Trace”, which was a track on their single “DITRESS&COMA”. I’ve read that this was meant as a tribute from Ruki to all the fans of the GazettE who have died, though any further specifications on the matter I don’t know. It’s a very lovely and touching song, though – one of my favourite acoustic works from them.

脆弱な意識を剥がれ
ゆっくりと足音を立てずに
灰になり粉々に散る
それだけ…それだけ…
Without a trace.
Seijaku na ishiki wo hagare
Yukkuri to ashioto wo tatezu ni
Hai ni nari konagona ni chiru
Sore dake...sore dake...
Without a trace.
Brittle sense is peeled away,
And slowly, without a single footfall's sound,
You fall to ash and scatter away.
Just like that... just like that...
Without a trace.

後に知る感情は
無力より卑怯
混在意識の底を這う
潜在意識に問いかける
「目の前の明日が見えない。」
Nochi ni shiru kanjou ha
Muryoku yori hikyou
Konzai ishiki no soko wo hau
Senzaiishiki ni toikakeru
"Me no mae no asu ga mienai."
Since then, the emotions I've known
Are more cruel to me than my powerlessness.
My deepest conflicting senses crawl to
My subconscious and tell it:
"I can't see the tomorrow right here in front of me."

立ち尽くす季節に息を埋めて
救いを待った君は無へ
もう聞こえはしない枯れた詩は
宛ても無く泣いている
Tachitsukusu kisetsu ni iki wo umete
Sukui wo matta kimi ha mu he
Mou kikoe ha shinai kareta uta ha
Ate mo naku naiteiru
In the seasons that stand still, my breath buries me.
You, who waited for salvation, are gone.
This dying song which you can't hear anymore
Can't reach you as you cry.

「喪失」に流す涙は
耐えてた苦しみにも流れる
誰もが見殺すかのよう
目蓋を閉じる
"Soushitsu" ni nagasu namida ha
Taeteta kurushimi ni mo nagareru
Dare mo ga mikorosu ka no you
Mebuta wo tojiru
The tears you cried in your "loss" and
The sadness you've endured are washed away.
Thinking I could maybe save someone,
I close my eyes.

螺旋に絡まる身体が
ゆっくりゆっくり捩じれる
千の棘を喉にあて問う
俺に何が救える?
目の前で明日が死んでる。
Rasen ni karamaru karada ga
Yukkuri yukkuri nejireru
Sen no toge wo nodo ni atetou
Ore ni nani ga sukueru?
Me no mae de asu ga shinderu.
My body caught in a spiral is
Slowly, slowly twisted.
Thousands of thorns encircle my throat...
What can I save?
The tomorrow before me is dying.

降りしきる翳みが晴れぬように...
生きた証が消えぬように...
この詩が君へと届くのなら
偽善だと思うだろう
Furishikiru kagemi ga harenu you ni...
Ikita akashi ga kienu you ni...
Kono uta ga kimi he to todoku no nara
Gizen da to omou darou
The shadows that rain incessantly down won't clear...
So that the proof you lived won't disappear...
If this song can reach you,
You'll probably just think it's hypocrisy.

立ち尽くす季節に息を埋めて
救いを待った君は無へ
もう聞こえぬようにかけた声は戻せない
罪と知る
Tachitsukusu kisetsu ni iki wo umete
Sukui wo matta kimi ha mu he
Mou Kikoenu you ni kaketa koe ha modosenai
Tsumi to shiru
In the seasons that stand still, my breath has stopped.
You, who waited for salvation, aren't here.
This voice you can't seem to hear anymore won't come back to me.
I know it's my sin.

Psyche溶け出しFrozen 震え咲き出すFlower
Sensitivity 千切れて繰り返すSplit
Psyche tokedashi Frozen furuesakidasu Flower
Sensitivity chigirete Kurikaesu Split
My psyche dissolves into a frozen, tremblingly-blooming flower.
My sensitivity is torn to pieces, a split that repeats over and over.

Cold wind disappoints me
My nervous bad habit
The vicious circle doesn't stop

Break me
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I break your mind
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I dirty your mind

Always 忘れたくて
Always 逃げ場は無くて
In my head 絡み合わぬ黒と白が蠢く
Always Wasuretakute
Always Nigeba ha nakute
In my head garamiawanu kuro to shiro ga ugomeku
I always want to forget that
Always, there is no place for me to escape to.
The black and white that won't entwine wriggle in my head.

秒刻の針が耳の奥でDelay
Without cease流れ出す
混ざり合わぬVision
Byoukizami no hari ga mimi no oku de Delay
Without cease nagaredasu
Mazariawanu Vision
With the delay of the tick of the second-hand deep in my ears,
It flows without cease;
This vision that I won't run into.

Cold wind disappoints me
My nervous bad habit
The vicious circle doesn't stop

Break me
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I break your mind
Please kill me out at your beautiful hand
Before I dirty your mind

Please delete my existence
I pray for your happiness
Before I kill your mind

Please kill me out at your beautiful hand

VORTEX Translation

2011-05-24T14:39:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “VORTEX” from their single of the same name. I haven’t read the interviews about it yet, but it seems it is yet another successor to songs like “LEECH” and “VERMIN”, hurling anger and disgust at corporate suits. Ruki uses very strong language in these lyrics.

二度と消せないくらいに傷を深めていくMalice
イキ過ぎた頭を抉り飛び交うBugにNoiseを
Nido to kesenai kurai ni kizu wo fukameteiku Malice
Ikisugita atama wo eguritobikau Bug ni Noise wo
The malice deepens this scar that will never disappear again.
The noise forces a bug into the head that breathes too much.

使い捨ての愛と知って売られたカラクリ
「単純明快無様な明日だ」って
理解してる時点で終わってる
Tsukaisute no ai to shitte urareta karakuri
"Tanjunmeikai Buzama na asu da" tte
Rikai shiteru jiten de owatteru
I know the disposable love and the mechanisms you sell.
You say "Plain and simple, tomorrow is unpresentable."
Right then, my understanding of you was done.

歪み回るVortex of beats
吐き気の中で踊る
Right before my eyes
The world that decayed
Right before my eyes
You murder somebody
Yugamimawaru Vortex of beats
Hakike no naka de odoru
Right before my eyes
The world that decayed
Right before my eyes
You murder somebody
I'm strained and twisted in a vortex of beats,
Dancing in nausea.
Right before my eyes
The world that decayed
Right before my eyes
You murder somebody

Too tragic to stay with you

ぐるぐると回るLoopの中で
機械仕掛けの空に消えてゆく
[COUNTLESS BUG]
ざらついた舌で欲をなぞって
StolidなDummyに夢を見せれば
苦だろうが悦に変わるさ
I don't wanna become the fuckin' garbage like you
Guruguru to mawaru Loop no naka de
Kikaijikake no sora ni kieteyuku
[COUNTLESS BUG]
Zaraitsuita shita de yoku wo nazotte
Stolid na Dummy ni yume wo misereba
Ku darou ga etsu ni kawaru sa
I don't wanna become the fuckin' garbage like you
In the loop that twists and turns,
I disappear into a mechanised sky.
[COUNTLESS BUG]
Tracing over your greed with your roughened tongue,
You show off your dream to a stolid dummy.
It's disappointing, but you change that out for self-satisfaction.
I don't wanna become the fuckin' garbage like you

Vortex of industry

Shut the fuck up
Jack off

The only thing you really know about me is...
You can't take my soul away from me
The only thing you really know about me is...
I can't answer your silly wish

暗い暗い闇に落ちてゆく
[COUNTLESS BUG]
汚れ無き声も泥に塗れ
今じゃその嘘に身を投げる
[COUNTLESS BUG]
Scrapになれば価値は消える
寸劇の涙はその胸に届かない
Kurai kurai yami ni ochiteyuku
[COUNTLESS BUG]
Kegarenaki koe mo doro ni mamire
Ima ja sono uso ni mi wo nageru
[COUNTLESS BUG]
Scrap ni nareba kachi ha kieru
Sungeki no namida ha sono mune ni todokanai
I fall into black, black darkness
[COUNTLESS BUG]
And even my pure voice is smeared with mud.
So now, I throw my body away into that lie.
[COUNTLESS BUG]
When it turns to scrap, the value will disappear,
And the tears of such a short play will never reach your heart.

I don't wanna become the fuckin' garbage like you

This is the same as a game not having an end

能無しの口叩きってやつを現実で捩じ伏せ
蛙鳴蝉噪並べる無知を潰せ
Before I Decay
Nounashi no kuchi tatakitte yatsu wo genjitsu de nejifuse
Ameisensou naraberu muchi wo tsubuse
Before I Decay
He who speaks incompetently has his arm pinned by reality.
The useless argument you set up only smashes your own ignorance.
Before I Decay

Please abandon instinct
I was stuck in a loop of a vicious circle
It was a mistake to have entrusted you
I die at abnormal speed

This is the same as a maze not having an end
不変の人間心裏
This is the same as a maze not having an end
Fuhen no ningen shinri
This is the same as a maze not having an end
It's the eternal backside of the human heart.

Only the rumor is splendid
Disappear with a sexual
You sold even us to protect oneself
You are powerless than anyone
Watch me...

繰り返す為にまた笑えばいいの?
繰り返す為にもう…
I cannot laugh
Kurikaesu tame ni mata waraeba ii no?
Kurikaesu tame ni mou...
I cannot laugh
Because this will happen over and over, will I be able to laugh again?
Because this will happen over and over...
I cannot laugh.

Before I Decay

Please abandon instinct
I was stuck in a loop of a vicious circle
It was a mistake to have entrusted you
It was a mistake...

Shiver Translation

A translation of the GazettE’s “Shiver” from their single of the same name. This song was used as the OP for the second season of the hit anime “Kuroshitsuji – Black Butler”. Personally, it’s not my favourite song from them, but the lyrics are beautiful and GazettEsque, speaking of the sadness of an unwanted parting.

たとえ・・・終わる事の無い悲しみがあなた奪っても
離れてゆく心など此処には無いと言って
Tatoe... owaru koto no nai kanashimi ga anata ubatte mo
Hanareteyuku kokoro nado koko ha nai to itte
Even if an endless sadness steals you away...
Tell me that your heart will never leave me.

駆け寄った背中に問いかける明日がどんな形でも
揺るがなかったのはもう信じる事を忘れたくなかったから
目を逸らす癖も曖昧な回答も笑えぬ嘘も
隣に居なければ意味さえ滲んでゆく
Kakeyotta senaka ni toikakeru asu ga donna katachi demo
Yuru ga nakatta no ha mou shinjiru koto wasuretaku nakatta kara
Me wo sorasu kuse mo aimai na kaitou mo waraenu uso mo
Tonari ni inakereba imi sae nijindeyuku
I wonder as you run away what form the tomorrow I wished for will take.
No matter what it is, I won't waver, because I don't want to forget what I believed in yet.
That habit of averting your eyes, and those vague answers, and those stupid
jokes…
If I cannot have them, the meaning of all of it will run together.

たとえ・・・終わる事の無い悲しみがあなた奪っても
離れてゆく心など此処には無いと言って
Tatoe... owaru koto no nai kanashimi ga anata ubatte mo
Hanareteyuku kokoro nado koko ni ha nai to itte
Even if an endless sadness steals you away...
Tell me that your heart will never leave me.

遠すぎたこの距離を埋める言葉が見つからない
過ぎ去る季節の中で追いつけなくなる事も知ってたよ
思い出すよりも忘れられない日々と言えたから
もうこれ以上が無くても受け止めれる
Toosugita kono kyori wo umeru kotoba ga mitsukaranai
Sugisaru kisetsu no naka de oitsukenaku naru koto mo shitteta yo
Omoidasu yori mo wasurerarenai hibi to ieta kara
Mou kore ijou ga nakute mo uketomereru
I can't find the words to fill this endless space between us.
In those seasons we passed through, I knew that I wouldn't be able to
chase you.
I could say that it's not that I remember those days, but that I can't forget them...
Even if it's nothing more than that, I will accept it.

どうか戻る事の無い時に涙を流さないで
忘れてゆく心など此処には無いと言ってくれるなら
Dou ka modoru koto no nai toki ni namida wo nagasanai de
Wasureteyuku kokoro nado koko ni ha nai to ittekureru nara
Please, don't cry over the times we can't go back to.
If you will just tell me that your heart won't forget me...

失いで知った二人の明日にあなたが泣いてる
やっと見れた素顔にはもう触れられない
Ushinai de shitta futari no asu ni anata ga naiteru
Yatto mireta sugao ni ha mou furerarenai
You cry over the tomorrow that we both have lost.
Finally, I can see your honest face, but I can't touch it anymore.

たとえ・・・終わる事の無い悲しみがあなた奪っても
忘れないで「さようなら」が嘘と思えた日々を
一人きりで見た空もすれ違う中で見た夢も
あの日のまま何も変わらず
あなたの中で今もずっと・・・
Tatoe... owaru koto no nai kanashimi ga anata ubatte mo
Wasurenai de "sayounara" ga uso to omoeta hibi wo
Hitorikiri de mita sora mo surechigaunaka de mita yume mo
Ano hi no mama nani mo kawarazu
Anata no naka de ima mo zutto
Even if an endless sadness steals you away,
Please don't forget the days when we thought that "goodbye" was a lie.
Even the sky I gazed up at alone, even in the dream where we pass each
other by...
Nothing will have changed from the way it was that day
In you, just like now...

「春風香る四月に謌う純恋歌…」
"Harukaze kaoru shigatsu ni utau junrenka..."
"In this fragrant April wind, I sing an innocent love song..."

根暗、引篭もりの僕、無口だけが取り柄です。
寂しくなんてないよ、だからお構いなく。
悪趣味異性観察、楽しくて堪らないよ。
Nekura, hikikkomori no boku, mukuchi dake ga torie desu.
Sabishiku nante nai yo, dakara okamainaku.
Akushumi isei kansatsu, tanoshikute tamaranai yo.
I, dark-natured and antisocial, have no redeeming quality but my reticence.
I'm not lonely at all, so please don't fuss over me.
I watch you and your bad taste in the opposite sex, and it's so funny it's
unbearable.

理解不能奇声罵声、今日も張り切って生きますです。
幼稚プレイは飽きました。さらば人口幼少褄。
どうせならリアルでしょう? 窓際レンズを覗く。
何時間経ったでしょう?理想そのもの貴女。
運命の人と気付くのは遅すぎた…。
Rikai funou kisei basei, kyou mo barikitte ikimasu desu.
Youchi play ha akimashita. Saraba jinkou youshou waifu.
Dou se nara real deshou? Madogiwa lens wo nozoku.
Nanjikan tattadeshou? Risou sono mono kimi¹.
Unmei no hito to kizuku no ha ososugita...
I will do my best to live dealing with the jeers of those who don't understand
cast at me today.
I've lost interest in child's play. Goodbye, you infantile commoners.
At any rate, this is real, isn't it? My camera lens peeps through the window. How long has passed? You, my ideal person,
It is too late for you to realize that I am your fate.

何故ですか? 貴女を知らないのに、こんなにも胸が痛むのは。
理解らないだけど愛しい。苦しいよ、貴女を見てる「脳」が。
Naze desu ka? Kimi wo shiranai no ni, konna ni mo mune ga itamu no ha.
Wakaranai dakedo itoshii. Kurushii yo, kimi wo miteru "nou" ga.
Why...? Though I don't know you, I have such pain in my heart.
I don't know you at all, but you are so lovely. My mind hurts so much when
I see you.

名前も知らぬレンズ内の貴女、声は届かず触れる事もない。
こっちを向いて僕は隠れるから、
悲しすぎるよこんなに側に居るのに…。
Namae mo shiranu lens nai no kimi, koe ha todokazu fureru koto mo nai.
Kocchi wo muite boku ha kakureru kara,
Kanashisugiru yo konna ni soba ni iru no ni...
You, who don't even know my name, are caught in my lens... my voice won't
reach you, I can't touch you.
Because I hide if you look my way,
I'm so very sad, even though I am right here by you...

いつか僕に気付く日があるとしたら、貴女はきっと怖がるだろう。
逃げ出すだろう。不安に気が狂う。
Itsuka boku ni kizuku toki² ga aru to shitara, kimi ha kitto kowagarudarou.
Nigedasu darou. Fuan ni ki ga kuruu.
If there is a time you realize my existence, you'd probably be afraid.
You'd probably run away. You'd go crazy with unease.

独り歩きの届かずの想い、理解ってるのに止まらぬが恋。
貴女が僕に気付く日は来ない。理解ってました。諦めてました。
ある晴れた早朝、いつものようにレンズに映る名も知らない貴女。
声も掛けれぬ触れられもしない。だってそうでしょ?
Hitoriaruki no todokazu no omoi, wakatteru no ni tomaranu ga koi.
Kimi ga boku ni kizuku hi ga konai. Wakattemashita. Akirametemashita.
Aru hareta asa³, itsumo no you ni lens ni utsuru na mo shiranai anata.
Koe mo kakerenu furerare mo shinai. Datte sou desho?
Even though I understand these so-strong feelings won't reach you, I can't
stop this passion.
The day you realize I'm here won't come. I understand that. I've given up.
This clear morning, as always, you, who doesn't even know my name, will
be reflected in my lens.
I can't call out, I can't touch you. That's the way it is, isn't it?

「全ては妄想だもの…(死笑)」
"Subete ha uso⁴ da mono... (shishou)⁵"
"It's all a lie... (Deathly Laugh)"

Notes
1. “Anata” (honorific “you”, or “dear”) is written, but Ruki sings “kimi” (more familiar form of “you”).
2. “Hi” (“day”) is written, but Ruki sings “toki” (time).
3. “Souchou” (“morning”) is written, but Ruki sings “asa” (“morning”).
4. “Mousou” (“delusion”) is written, but Ruki sings “uso” (“lie”).
5. This “deathly laugh” isn’t specifically done, but Ruki sings the last line in a bit of a darkly-laughing tone.

あなたとの出逢いであたしは

料理や洗濯もあなたのため
だからそばにいさせてがんばるから

Mukashi yori mo zutto Waraeru you ni natta
Kirawarenai you ni oboeta
Ryouri ya sentaku mo anata no tame
Dakara soba ni isasete Ganbaru kara
My meeting with you by chance is
What has made me smile more than anything before.
I don't even hate to remember
The cooking and washing I did for you.
So please let me stay with you. I'm going to do my best.

あなたを愛しています。
こんなに愛してます。
あなたは気付いてますか？
あたしの片思い…。
Anata wo ai shiteimasu.
Konna ni ai shiteimasu.
Anata ha kizuitemasu ka?
Atashi no kataomoi...
I love you.
I love you like this.
Do you understand?
My unrequited love...

行かないでここにいて
あなたのそばにいたい
少しでいい少しでいい
あたしにふり向いて
不安で不安で…
胸が「キュッ」って痛いよ
やっぱりあたしじゃだめなのかな…
Ikanai de Koko ni ite
Anata no soba ni itai
Sukoshi de ii Sukoshi de ii
Atashi ni furimuite
Fuan de Fuan de...
Mune ga "kyuu" tte itai yo
Yappari Atashi ja dame na no ka na...
Please don't go. Stay here.
I want to be by your side.
Just for a bit, just for a bit,
Look at me.
I'm worried, I'm worried by how...
My heart is hurting so badly.
Just as I thought, I'm not the one, am I...

声が聞きたい聞きたくて
鳴らない電話を見てる
会いたい会えずに待ってるどこへ行けば会えますか?
Koe ga kikitai kikitakute
Naranai denwa wo miteru
Aitai aezu ni matteru Doko he yukeba aemasu ka?
I want to hear your voice, and because I want to hear it,
I stare at the phone that won't ring.
I want to see you, I wait without seeing you. Where do I need to go to see you?

こんなあたしはあなたのために何が出来るのでしょう
いつもあたしはあなたの優しい笑顔に励まされて…
Konna atashi ha Anata no tame ni nani ga dekiru no deshou
Itsumo atashi ha Anata no yasashii egao ni hagamasarete...
This me can do anything for you.
I am always striving to put a gentle smile on your face...

少しでいいあなたの思い出にさせて
そしたらきっとね忘れられるから
サヨナラは言わないの涙しそうだから最後は笑ってありがとうって…バイバ
イアタシノ片思イ…
Sukoshi de ii Anata no omoide ni sasete
Soshitara Kitto ne wasurerareru kara
Sayonara ha iwanai no. Namida shisou dakara saigo ha waratte Arigatou tte...
baibai Atashi no kataomoi...
Please let me have just a few memories of you.
Then, because you'll definitely forget me,
I won't say goodbye. Because I'll probably start to cry, at the end I will
laugh. Thank you... Bye-bye, my unrequited love.

Rich Excrement Translation

2011-05-13T23:56:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “Rich Excrement” from their single “Filth in the beauty”. This is yet another one of Ruki’s anti-pop and idol group songs… quite an interesting one, and the music itself is hard but very catchy. I’ll ask for some lenience as to the romanization – Ruki goes so fast it’s very difficult to get every syllable. I think I have it all right, but… be aware there might be a mistake. ^^;

反抗心から吐く核
今此処で決意表明しようじゃないか
この地に植え付けられた
玉無しのイメージを撤回否崩壊
以前あったso cool
デンジャラスだった本来の姿を輪廻転生
FLASH BACKの如く
Hankou shin kara haku kaku
Ima koko de ketsui hyoumei shiyou ja nai ka
Kono chi ni uetsukerareta
Tamanashi no image wo tekkai hihoukai
Izen atta so cool
Dangerous datta honrai no sugata wo rinnettenshou
FLASH BACK no shiku
Rebellious from the bottom of your heart, you vomit nuclear bombs.
Won't you announce the decision you made here and now?
They simply revoke the corrupt image that was planted into this earth
Rather than break it down.
It was so cool before.
Your nature is caught in the dangerous cycle of transmigration,
Just like a FLASH BACK

暴音轟反乱勃発害虫撲殺即刻チェスト
Bou oto kou hanran boppatsu gaichuu bokusatsu sokkoku chest
Violent roaring sound and an outburst of mutiny beat the vermin's chest
to death immediately

入れ替わり立ち替わる運命共同体
口先だけお涙頂戴やがて再会を約束
次の朝には何食わぬ顔で完全復活
Irekawari tachikawaru unmei kyoudoutai
Kuchisaki dake onamidachoudai Yagate saikai wo yakusoku
Tsugi no asa ni ha nanikuwanukao de kanzen fukkatsu
Those in the same boat are ever changing and altering
Their lip service sobstory. Soon, the appointed meeting will be here, and
Tomorrow, your innocent look will make a perfect revival.

寄せ集めの雑魚が歌う悲恋歌哀愁
どうだ？流れに乗れたか？この馬鹿
いざ蓋を開け中覗けその目で
Biterもcheck out
Yoseatsume no jako ga utau Hirenkaaishuu
Dou da? Nagare ni noreta ka? Kono baka
Izafuta wo akenaka nozoke sono me de
Biter mo check out
A mish-mash of smallfry sing a pathetic song of wronged love.
How is it? Did you go along with it? You idiot.
Now open the lid and peep in with those eyes.
The biter should check it out too.

Lyric killer is ED
色仕掛け年増の首領
LIP SERVICE LOW IQ
暴けその手口と罠を
単身売買裏切り
安易分裂裏切り
顔面凶器見せ物
カマのオンパレマッハ退廃
Lyric killer is ED
Irojikake toshima no shuryou
LIP SERVICE LOW IQ
Abake sono teguchi to wana wo
Tanshin baibai uragiri
An'i bunretsu uragiri
Ganmen kyouki misemono
Kama no onpare mahha taihai
Lyric killer is ED
Your boss is a self-exploiting middle-aged woman.
LIP SERVICE LOW IQ
Expose those tricks and traps.
Alone, you buy and sell treachery
And so easily you divide it up
To show off that dangerous weapon of a face.
Putting Kama on display, you deteriorate at mach speed.

白き優鬱 Translation

2011-05-07T18:04:00.001-07:00

A translation of the GazettE’s “Shiroki Yuuutsu” from their studio album “DIM”. Ruki says that this song was inspired by the overbearing kindness that people give to some that they are about to lose, unaware that such kindness is actually more painful.

風に靡くドレープの向こう
薄弱な声に震えたのは身体じゃなく
初めて意識した「失い」
Kaze ni nabiku drape no mukou
Hakujaku na koe ni furueta no ha karada ja naku
Hajimete ishiki shita "ushinai"
On the other side of the drape fluttering in the wind,
It's not your health which causes my weak voice to tremble,
It's the first realization of what I'm going to "lose".

染み付いて離れぬ不安感
拭う手の温もりを忘れそう
白壁が連れ去る安心感
四月は何度見れば終わる
Shimitsuite hanarenu fuankan
Nuguu te no nukumori wo wasuresou
Shirokabe ga tsuresaru anshinkan
Shigatsu ha nando mireba owaru
I seem to have forgotten how the warmth of your hand wiped away
These insecure feelings that stain me so deeply I can't escape.
The white wall robs me of my sense of security,
And no matter how I look at it, April is over.

掛け違うだけでこんなに容易く崩れてゆける
そう口に出すよりも脆く
Kakechigau dake de konna ni tayasuku kuzureteyukeru
Sou Kuchi ni dasu yori mo moroku
Only crossing paths, like this, it can easily crumble.
Yes... It's more fragile than what I say.

ひらりひらりと悲しげに揺れる
返す笑みには映らない
優鬱よ何処へ
噛み締める弱さが知ったハカナさの意味
今は君を守る様に抱く様に…
Hirarihirari to kanashige ni yureru
Kaesuemi ni ha utsuranai
Yuuutsu yo doko he
Kamishimeru yowasa ga shitta hakanasa no imi
Ima ha kimi wo mamoru you ni daku you ni
Trembling, shaking with such a sad look,
But it doesn't show in that smile you give me.
Where are you, o gentle gloom?
I know how weakly its transient meaning is gnawing at me.
Now, so that I can protect you, so that I can hold you...

答えが嘘だと言って悪い夢なのと笑って
Kotae ga uso da to itte Warui yume na no to waratte
Saying that my answer is a lie... You laugh, saying it's like a bad dream.

息も出来ずにただ堪えるだけ
詰まる言葉を覆い尽くす
優鬱よ何処へ
しがみつき願った明日は今も咲いてる
君を守るかのように
ゆらゆらゆら
Iki mo dekizu ni tada koraeru dake
Tsumaru kotoba wo ooitsukusu
Yuuutsu yo doko he
Shigamitsukinegatta asu ha ima mo saiteru
Kimi wo mamoru ka no you ni
Yura yura yura
I can't breathe anymore... I just have to stand strong.
These words I can't say wrap around and exhaust me.
Where are you, o gentle gloom?
The tomorrow I so wished for is blooming now
So that I can protect you,
Shaking, shaking, shaking...
