TOMORROW NEVER DIES Translation

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.

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.

Angel who concealed wound. yeah!
Devil who licks the wound. yeah!

 

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.

瞞し Translation

A translation of the GazettE’s “Mayakashi” from their single “BEFORE I DECAY”. The reading for the title is actually “Damashi”, but they’ve chosen to have it read “Mayakashi” instead. The meaning doesn’t change.

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
Fukai uso wo
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.

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 meant

 

Crazy beasts - killing each other
Crazy plants - feeding a dream
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.

UNTITLED Translation

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:

 

―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 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”).

VENOMOUS SPIDER’S WEB Translation

PAIN-GRUDGE-SORROW-FURY
DELETE-HEADACHE-HANG UP-DIZZY

 

糸を這わす極彩色の罠で
背徳感を着せられたまま
Ito wo hawasu gokusashiki no wana de
Haitokukan wo kiserareta mama
In a trap of richly-coloured crisscrossed threads,
I fall into the corruption.

 

「愛想良く笑ってくれないか?」
モザイクの先でちらつかす毳毳しい刃
"Aisou yoku warattekurenai ka?"
Mosaic no saki de chiratsukasu kebakebashii yaiba
"Won't you smile for courtesy?"
That mosaic front you use is a gaudy blade.

 

Like a bacteria
You repeat an increase
Like a bacteria
The spider which undermines me

 

ベタベタと絡み付く猛毒に
まるで骨の髄までしゃぶり尽くされてるようさ
Betabeta to karamitsuku moudoku ni
Marude hone no zui made shaburi tsukusareteru you sa
The clinging and entwining deadly poison
Exhausts me all the way down to the marrow of my bones.

 

Mischief of the venomous spider
Delete this deadly poison
Mischief of the venomous spider
その毒は蜜より甘いのさ
Mischief of the venomous spider
Delete this deadly poison
Mischief of the venomous spider
Sono doku ha mitsu yori amai no sa
Mischief of the venomous spider
Delete this deadly poison
Mischief of the venomous spider
That poison is sweeter than even honey.

 

This is skillful trap
Delete this deadly poison
Like a bacteria
The spider which undermines me

 

Perfect trap…
Delete this deadly poison

SLUDGY CULT Translation

Unsatisfactory double suicide
Satanic play byouteki na zushiki
Kamitsuku shisei aredo
Kubiwa hazusenu Timid baby
Taihaiteki rakuen no yami de
Unsatisfactory double suicide
Satanic play, an abnormal scheme.
I'm posed and ready to bite you,
You're a timid baby that won't take off my choker.
In the darkness of this degenerate paradise, there's
Unsatisfactory double suicide

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.

I looked at the human truth
Where did that hand of salvation come from?

Nothing is wrong

This is a fact:
Shadow faces repose free of crowds.

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.

And truth scatters in the sobbing sky.

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”.

汗ばむ皮膚を伝っていく 汚らわしい温かさ
この手が この命が 泡を立て奮い立つ
Asebamu hifu wo tsutaetteiku Kegarawashii atatakasa
Kono te ga Kono inochi ga Awa wo tatefuruitatsu
The filthy heat will follow the sweaty skin
And this hand that raises the froth.

 

綺麗な泣き顔で見せる デタラメな慰めよりも
あいつに向かう憎しみだけを受け止めていたい
どうして君がいないのに くだらない奴等が笑っている
生み出すのさ この世界から もっと憎しみを
Kirei na nakigao de miseru Detarame na nagusame yori mo
Aitsu ni mukau nikushimi dake wo uketometeitai
Doushite kimi ga inai no ni Kudaranai yatsura ga waratteiru
Umidasu no sa Kono sekai kara Motto nikushimi wo
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.

 

俺の手と同じ様に 赤い血が流れてる
俺の愛した人と同じ 赤い血が流れてる
Ore no te to onaji you ni Akai chi ga nagareteru
Ore no ai shita hito to onaji Akai chi ga nagareteru
The same red blood flows into my hand.
Just like the person I love, red blood is flowing.

一つ一つ消してやる
Kietekure Minai de kure
Omae no naka ni ore wo hairenna
Hitotsu hitotsu keshiteyaru
Please disappear. Please don't look.
I won’t let myself be taken in.
I'll make everything disappear, one by one.

 

落とし穴の底はこんな世界 間違いだらけの法律で
人の意思を 人の心を縛った 住みやすい世界
正義は今も曖昧なまま 拳を振りかざす
Otoshiana no soko ha konna sekai Machigai darake no houritsu de
Hito no ishi wo Hito no kokoro wo shibatta Sumiyasui sekai
Seigi ha ima mo aimai na mama Kobushi wo furikazasu
At the bottom of the pit is this kind of world, a world where it's easy to live
With laws full of mistakes binding the hearts and intentions of man.
Justice is even now so vague, so I raise my fist above my head.

 

綺麗な泣き顔で見せる デタラメな慰めよりも

The results that continue to change, the results that you continue to hide, will surely make it so you're all alone.
Confessing it and laughing, I cry out with withered voice.
I've already become so I have to live being shunned.

I can become so brilliant if it's for you, so
I'll tightly hold to your unchanging heart.

Thorns twine around the cruel cross of Christ.
Close in a heavy cross,
Tearing away the chains, I cross the boundaries.
Cry against

Dear Sir,open the gate.
Inside, I cross to a different dimension of emotion.

The moon is seized by the darkness,
And even if you mean to become a goddess,
I am deceived by your kindness.
Well, let me get drunk on it!

Dear sir, let's confirm it.
Inside, shaking violently,

Tsume wo tate Yami ni ochiru
In the trap of sweet scent,
You raise your claws and fall into darkness.

 

止まらない鼓動と 静寂が襲いかかる

Tomaranai kodou to Seijaku ga osoikakaru
Watashi dake wo mitsumete
Furueru yubisaki ga Anata no kage wo oikake

With unending pulsation, the lonely silence attacks.
Look only at me.
My trembling fingertips chase after your shadow,
Searching for you.

I'll destroy these small limits (breach) (wall)

Searching for the meaning of living, embraced by someone else,
Trembling in the cold...
Like this, I'll disappear, forever enclosed in emotions.
Take me away.

The trembling flowers that fall dancing.
I'll love you, unadorned and never changing.
I offer myself to you.

瞳に映る 全てを 信じてた
貴女の優しさに 氣付かず時が過ぎ
Hitomi ni utsuru Subete wo Shinjiteta
Anata no yasashisa ni Kizutsukazu toki ga sugi
I believed everything reflected in your eyes.
In your kindness, the time passed me by without me realising it.

 

もう戻れないの? 問いかけて 夢の中彷徨う
注ぎ込む光の果てに 呼び覚ました記憶
Mou modorenai no? Toikakete Yume no naka samayou
Sosogikomu hikari no hate ni Yobisamashita kioku
I can't go back, can I? I ask as I wander through this dream,
The memories you awoke are infused into the light, through to the end.

 

I remember this place 何も見えないけど
二人誓った言葉と願いを 強く抱きしめ合って
I remember this place Nani mo mienai kedo
Futari chikatta kotoba to negai wo Tsuyoku dakishimeatte
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.

THE SUICIDE CIRCUS Translation

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

Nobody can rewind time
Don't look away
Suicide circus
Vision no fuhai
Here is a hell on earth
I felt a chill
The disappointment that increases
[TICK-TACK…]
Nobody can rewind time
Don't look away
Suicide circus
Decaying Vision
Here is a hell on earth
I felt a chill
The disappointment that increases

Aged hatred and young cold-blooded mind
Reason of the chill

Nobody can rewind time
飛び散ったMerciless scene
Aged hatred and young cold-blooded mind
Reason of the chill

[TICK-TACK...]
Nobody can rewind time
Tobichitta Merciless scene
Aged hatred and young cold-blooded mind
Reason of the chill
Poverty resounds throughout that place,
[TICK-TACK...]
Nobody can rewind time
Scattered about the Merciless scene.

 

噎せ返るような生々しさに人は惹かれ
その触れた手に付着した恐怖もやがては薄れ
Metamorphosis
Musekaeru you na namanamashisa ni hito ha hikare
Sono fureta te ni fuchaku shita
Metamorphosis
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
Fusagikomi miushinau jibun wo tachi Shittehoshikatta sono kodoku 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?
Suicide circus

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
Kokoro odoru
My heart skips.

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
Aishita mono ga urekareru "shitsudo" ni
Yuuutsu ha yagate kage wo nazotte
Kamichigiru you ni hawasu kazu kasane
Mitasareru koto oboeta ne
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
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
愛した物が枯れ腐Speedに
もう二度と戻れない
夢を見る
Aishita mono ga urekareru "shitsudo" ni
Yuuutsu ha yagate kage wo nazotte
Kamichigiru you ni hawasu kazu kasane
Mitasareru koto oboeta ne
Saita yoku no koe ni akui ha nai
Zange ha kono uta ni azukeru yo
Aishita mono ga karekasa Speed ni
Mou nido to modorenai
Yume wo miru
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

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).

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.

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.

 

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?
