ナ・ミ・ダ
Na-Mi-Da
Tears


Toshihiko Seki as Ludwig



2粒の涙には
悲しみをのせて
1粒の涙には
怒りのせて流した
あの日。。。心に。。。深く。。。 誓った。。。
Futatsubu no namida ni ha
Kanashimi wo nosete
Hitotsubu no namida ni ha
Ikari no osete nageshita
Ano hi... kokoro ni... fukaku... chikatta...
In two teardrops,
Sadness is loaded
In one teardrop,
Anger is loaded, and it washed away
That day, I swore deep in my heart...

忘れかけていた
どこからアタタカイもの
何故か今になって
目覚め初めている
そんな。。。自分が。。。ここに。。。いる。。。
ガラスの。。。カケラに。。。
自分を。。。映して
やさしい。。。涙を。。。
あの人に。。。流そう。。。
Wasurekaketeita
Dokokara atatakai mono
Nazeka ima ni natte
Mezame hajimeteiru
Sonna... jibun ga... koko ni... iru...
GARASU no... kakera ni...
Jibun wo... utsushite
Yasashii... namida wo...
Ano hito ni... nagasou...
I had forgotten
Where all that warmth was from.
Somehow, now it had become like this.
I will begin to awaken
That 'me' that is right here...
In the shards of glass,
I am reflected
Those gentle tears
Seem to be flowing to that person...

Dive [Song Translation]

The character song of Kou from Monochrome Factor. Quite a touching, beautiful piece, though the second verse was a pain to translate. Enjoy~.

DIVE
Konishi Katsuyuki as Kou

憂いの月に 願いをかける
君の元へ届いて
廃墟なこの世界に 道すじを照らしてる
ささやかな光
君だけが持っているのさ 代わりなんてない
何度も感じた
俺だけが知っているReal
Ecstasy 深い闇 夢の中でも
俺をイカせるのは 君だけで
Ecstasy, So dive in me 守りたい人がそばにいる
ここにおいで
Urei no tsuki ni Negai wo kakeru
Kimi moto he todoite
Haikyo na kono sekai ni Michi suji wo terashiteru
Sa, sayaka na hikari
Kimi dake ga motteiru no sa Kawari nante nai
Nandomo kanjita
Ore dake ga shitteiru Real
Ecstasy Fukai yami Yume no naka demo
Ore wo ikaseru no ha Kimi dake de
Ecstasy, So dive in me Mamoritai hito ga soba ni iru
Koko ni oide
My wishes soar to the grieved moon
And reach out to you
In this ruined world, a straight path is shining -
Yes, a clear light
You are the only one who possesses something that will never change
No matter how many it was felt,
Only I know that reality...
Ecstasy, even though darkness is deep in my dreams
I am the one to pass away, and there is only you
Ecstacy, so dive in me, because the person I want to protect is near me
Come here...


突然 出違う偶然の中で
懐かしいと想う 不思議
終りかけの世界に 一滴の真実
重なり合う鍵
君の存在があって
生まれかわるように 変わっていくから
俺たちがみつけてく Real
Ecstasy戦う 運命さえも
自由な色で描いてみせろ
Ecstasy, So dive in me こんなに燃えたぎる想いを抱いて 君と
Totsuzen Dechigau guuzen no naka de
Natsukashii to omou Fushigi
Owarikake no sekai ni Hitosujiku no shinjitsu
Kasanari aukagi
Kimi no sonzai ga atte
Umarekawaru you ni Kawatteiku kara
Oretachi ga mitsuketeku Real
Ecstasy Tatakau Unmei sae mo
Jiyuu na iro de egaite misero
Ecstasy, So dive in me Konna ni moetagiru omoi wo daite Kimi to
It was sudden, and I missed it by chance
Or so I thought nostalgically, and curiously
At the end of this world, there is one drop of truth
That lies upon the key
Your existence is here -
In order for you to be born, you are going to change,
And we will discover that reality
Ecstasy, paint battles and even fate
In the colour of freedom
Ecstasy, so dive in me, and I will embrace this burning feeling... and you

Ecstasy 深い闇 夢の中でも
俺をイカせるのは 君だけで
Ecstasy, So dive in me 守りたい人がそばにいる
ここにおいで
Ecstasy戦う 運命さえも
自由な色で描いてみせろ
Ecstasy, So dive in me 闇から君を抱きしめて
連れ出すから
カワイひと そばにおいで
Ecstasy Fukai yami Yume no naka demo
Ore wo ikaseru no ha Kimi dake de
Ecstasy, So dive in me Mamoritai hito ga soba ni iru
Koko ni oide
Ecstasy Tatakau Unmei sae mo
Jiyuu na iro de egaite misero
Ecstasy, So dive in me Yami kara kimi wo dakishimete
Tsuredasu kara
Kawai hito Soba ni oide
Ecstasy, even though darkness is deep in my dreams
I am the one to pass away, and there is only you
Ecstacy, so dive in me, because the person I want to protect is near me
Come here...
Ecstasy, paint battles and even fate
In the colour of freedom
Ecsasy, so dive in me, because there is darkness, I will embrace you
Because I will take you away
Cute person, come close to me

Monochrome [Song Translation]

Yay! Monochrome by Master has finally been translated! :Db Hurray!

Thanks to Royal Lavender for allowing me to use her kanji and romaji renderings. :D And always, I beg to remind you that I am an amateur when it comes to translations, so if you know better, please kindly guide me.

Monochrome
Hatano Wataru as Wagatsuma Shuichi/Master

夜明けを待ちわびる鳥が　瞼を開いた時
ためらいながら見上げる空に　翼を広げて
モノクロな世界の中　刻まれた運命に
立ち向かう瞳は　きっと闇さえ
切り裂くのだろう　確かに
Yoake wo machiwabiru tori ga　Mabuta wo hiraita toki
Tamerai nagara miageru sora ni　Tsubasa wo hirogete
MONOCHROME na sekai no naka　Kizamareta unmei ni
Tachimukau me wa　Kitto yami sae
Kirisaku no darou　Tashikani
A bird, tired of waiting for the morning, opened its eyes
It haltingly raises its eyes to the sky and spreads its wings
Our fate is carved in this monochrome world
Without fail, even the darkness that oppresses my eyes
Will be cut away... Surely.

君の唇が　君の指先が
そっと足元照らすよ
夜明けへ導く光
君が愛しくて　君が愛しくて
立ち竦んでしまうよ
生まれたてのこの愛を
抱きしめて
Kimi no kuchibiru ga　Kimi no yubisaki ga
Sotto ashimoto terasu yo
Yoake e michibiku hikari
Kimi ga itoshikute　Kimi ga itoshikute
Tachisukundeshimau yo
Umareta te no kono ai wo
Dakishimete
Your lips... your fingertips...
And your footsteps softly shine,
A light leading to the morning.
Because you're so dear to me, because you're my beloved,
I am completely petrified.
This love that was born...
I will embrace it.

睫の先に広がる　色のない存在に
覚悟を決めた想いがそっと　伝わりゆく鼓動
モノクロの糸に絡まる　その先の運命に
疲れたなら　いつでもここで
すべてを忘れて　おやすみ
Matsuge no saki ni hirogaru　Iro no nai sonzai ni
Kakugo wo kimeta omoi ga sotto　Tsutawariyuku kodou
MONOCHROME no ito ni karamaru　Sono saki no unmei ni
Tsukareta nara　Itsudemo koko de
Subete wo wasurete　Oyasumi
A colourless existence spreads before the tips of my eyelashes.
I prepared myself, and my feelings are spoken through soft heartbeats,
Entwining monochrome threads into the fate that lies ahead.
If you're tired, I will always be here.
You can forget everything... and rest.*


君の足跡に　君の傷口に
やさし影がおちるよ
怖がる事はないから
こんなに切ない　こんなに苦しい
“愛”というものの為に
どんなことからも君を
救い出すから
Kimi no ashiato ni　Kimi no kizuguchi ni
Yasashi kage ga ochiru yo
Kowagaru koto wa nai kara
Konna ni setsunai　Konna ni kurushii
"Ai" to iu mono no tame ni
Donna koto kara mo kimi wo
Sukuidasu kara
Your footprints... your wounds...
Gentle shadows fall into them
Because there's nothing we fear.
It's painful, and it's difficult, but
For the sake of a thing called "love"
No matter what, I will
Free you.

君の微笑みが　君の眼差しが
消えてしまわぬように
この手で守ってゆくよ　
君が恋しくて　君が恋しくて
余計孤独になるよ
静かに溢れる想い
抱きしめて
Kimi no hohoemi ga　Kimi no manazashi ga　
Kieteshimawanu youni
Kono te de mamotteyuku yo
Kimi ga koishikute　Kimi ga koishikute
Yokei kodoku ni naru yo
Shizukani afureru omoi
Dakishimete
Your smile... your gaze...
So that they don't fade away,
I will protect you.
I love you... I long for you.
This unnecessary loneliness becomes
Feelings that quietly overflow...
I will embrace them.





* "Oyasumi" is commonly known as "good night", but "yasumu" is also the verb for "to rest" (conjugating to "oyasumi(masu)" in the polite). It seemed to fit better to have the verb form here.

Monochrome Factor Mini Drama - The Shadow of Shirogane Tower, Pt. 1

This is cross-posted from MonoRyuukou-Subs. Since I did the work I feel like it's okay to post the translation here, too. :3 You can listen along as you read. Enjoy!

オリギナルドラマMonochrome Factor Mini Drama: The Shadow of Shirogane Tower, Part 1 - Ono Daisuke and Kamiya Hiroshi

Kengo: Aya sure is persistent! Day after day, she comes around bothering us. I wish she would just give up.

Akira: Mm. She is the authority.

Kengo: You said it!

Someone: It's over!

Kengo: Huh? What's that?

Monochrome Factor Character Song CD Mini Drama: The Shadow of Shirogane Tower.
Episode 1 - Shadow of Dusk
(TL Note: "Shirogane" means "silver" or "platinum"; literally read, it is "White Gold")

Someone: Congratulations! Second place is a Cyclone Vacuum!

Kengo: Wow! It's my first time seeing something like this!

Akira: Eh.

Kengo: It sure looks cool. First place is a flat-screen liquid crystal television, third place is a portable Gamekey...

Akira: Gamekey?

Kengo: Ah, speaking of that, I think I got a note from neechan. How embarrassing. Where was it...

Akira: Is this it?

Kengo: Ah!

Akira: I swiped it from you.

Kengo: Uh... no, I... that's...

Akira: How brave. Such a thing would usually make a man upset, right?

Kengo: Y-yes...

Someone: Here you go, one round!

Akira: Anyway, I just need to aim for third place...

Someone: It's done! He did it! And the prize, a meal at a top-class French restaurant!

Kengo: Amazing! Akira, you're amazing!

...........

Kengo: Hey, it's a special invitation!

Akira. Eh.

Kengo: Um, "After making your way up the mountain, please stay for awhile in the white retreat, which was an embassy of the homeland in the Meiji Era, before continuing on to the restaurant..."

Akira: Tch.

Kengo: "Since it shines so beautifully in the moonlight, it has been named Shirogane Tower..."

Akira: Shirogane Tower?

Kengo: "... and has been transformed into a restaurant, as it is now, that is now highly thought of."

Akira: -sigh-

Kengo: "We are devoted to your satisfaction. For helping make us a success, we thank you for coming, and hope you enjoy your visit", it says.

Akira: -sigh-

Kengo: But, that was really cool, Akira! ...... What is this 'page' they're giving us?

Akira: -snort-

Kengo: Hey, come on, Akira!

Akira: Ah, shut up! Unless you're talking about the game, that is!

Kengo: What are we going to do about this?

Akira: About what?

Kengo: What you got from the lottery!

Akira: Wouldn't you like to go with your sister?

Kengo: But this is for you, Akira...

Akira: I'm not really interested.

Kengo: But, even so....

Akira: What now? If you want to go, just go.

Kengo: But we have to go at seven for it, right? That's the only requirement.

Akira: Oh.

Kengo: Oh, and they have a dress code, too! Amazing.

Akira: Then just go with your family.

Kengo: Um... but you see...

Akira: Hm?

Kengo: On this date, my parents are going to be on a luxury trip overseas.

Akira: Oh.

Kengo: So, I can't go with my family. You should come.

Akira: What?

Kengo: Since my family won't be around, won't you come with me to the restaurant?

Akira: I'll pass. French isn't really my thing.

Kengo: What? Then, what should I do?

Akira: How about Aya?

Kengo: Aya? Surely you don't mean that unreasonable prefect! I don't think French is her thing.

Akira: I see.

Kengo: Hmmm.... I got it!

Akira: Oh?

Kengo: We'll go!

Akira: With who?

Kengo: Akira, me, Kou-nii, and Shirogane-san!

Akira: Are you stupid?

Kengo: Eh?

Akira: Shirogane doesn't count. He's not human.

Kengo: O-oh... that's right... I'm sorry...

Akira: Guess you won't budge.

Kengo: Huh?

Akira: How about Master? I bet we can get him to come.

Kengo: Akira...

Akira: You call Kou-nii. I'll go see if Master will come.

Kengo: Akira! Thank you!!

Akira: Dorya!

Kengo: Guh...

Akira: Take this!

Kengo: OW!

Akira: Yes... at that time, we couldn't imagine it. The lesson we were about to learn from this free trip was only the beginning of the story. It was something that had to be seen to be believed...




P.S. Due to midterms, posting of episode screencaps has been put back a day or two. But you can enjoy the drama in its place. XP

Translation Requests

I will take requests for Japanese song translation. :D

There are some conditions:
- You or I must be able to find kanji lyrics. Without kanji, it's a bit difficult.
- No time limit constraints. I'm a busy college student, so unless there is a pressing need for your translation to be done by a certain deadline (you need it for a project, performance, etc.) you'll just need to be patient.
- I need to be able to hear it. If it's not in my music library, you'll have to supply me with a link where I can watch a PV or just listen.
- Translation is done when it's done. I may not go in order of request.


But, other than those little rules, please request away right here in this journal. :)

REQUESTS ARE CURRENTLY *CLOSED* (17/1/13)

I'll try to do the ones that have been sitting here for a year or more... I'm sorry I'm so terrible at them aslkdghadslkfj. But aside from that, I will need to close requests until I'm further along on the 300+ songs I have from bands I'm already committed to working on.
