just let it be Untitled forever

Song: Bonam Noctem Music/Lyrics: Takumi Hayashida Album: Kippu no Uta

凍えそうなほどに一人 草原の夜 思いだすあの懐かしい声を抱きしめる 白く霞んだ漏斗には記憶の澱 明日の世界を思い憂えて目を瞑る

Alone on the freezing meadow at night, I embrace that nostalgic voice I recall to mind Dregs of memories cling to a white hazy funnel Lamenting over tomorrow's world, I close my eyes

草臥れ果てた太陽が塞いでる 止まり木を探す梟が飛んでは嘆く 僅かな油のランプの許 力尽き 明日の世界を思い憂えて目を瞑る

The weary sun shuts itself away An owl flies, mourning while searching for a perch My strength fades by the light of a meager oil lamp I lament over tomorrow's world and close my eyes

今宵よ さらば この悲しみが 誰も解り得ない言葉になるなら このままどうか 眠りに就けるように 別れを告げてる

O night, farewell If this sorrow becomes words no one can understand Please, let me fall asleep like this I bid my goodbye

「教えて、いつ私は誰を傷つける？」 呟く声を浮かべたまま朝を手繰る ゆらり揺れる頭上の光には届かずに 明日の世界を思い憂えて目を瞑る

"Tell me, when and who will I hurt?" Leaving my whispered voice adrift, I draw the morning near Unable to reach the flickering light above my head, lamenting over tomorrow's world, I close my eyes

凍えそうなほどに一人 草原の夜 思い出すあの懐かしい声を抱きしめる 歌を歌った風の中 今日はもう終わり 明日の世界を思い祈って目を瞑る

Alone on the freezing meadow at night, I embrace that nostalgic voice I recall to mind In the singing wind, today comes to an end I pray for tomorrow's world and close my eyes

今宵よ いつか この悲しみが 麗らかな春を迎えにゆくから それまでどうか 愛してゆけるように 涙を拭ってる

O night, one day, this sorrow will go to greet the beautiful spring Until that day, please let me continue to love I wipe my tears away

今宵よ さらば この悲しみが 誰も解り得ない言葉になるなら このままどうか 眠りに就けるように 別れを告げてる

O night, farewell If this sorrow becomes words no one can understand Please, let me fall asleep like this I bid my goodbye

今宵よ いつか この悲しみが 麗らかな春を迎えにゆくから それまでどうか 愛してゆけるように 涙を拭ってる

O night, one day, this sorrow will go to greet the beautiful spring Until that day, please let me continue to love I wipe my tears away

Song: あかつき散歩 / Akatsuki sanpo / A stroll at dawn Music/Lyrics: Takumi Hayashida Album: Himitsu no Uta

渡し忘れた言いたいことは 塗りつぶす昨日の日付とともに消えた 例えば悲しみが数えられたら 思い出が少なくなってしまいそうだ

Words I wanted to say but forgot to give you vanished along yesterday's date, which I've crossed out If, for instance, sorrow could be counted, it feels like my memories would dwindle away

ささやかな希望が苦しめるから 静かに扉を閉めて一人出掛けた 朝焼けに染まった空の手のひら 始まりを見届けに行こう　歩きながら

Because even a tiny hope would pain me I quietly closed the door and went out alone The palm of my hand under the sky dyed in morning glow Let's go see the new beginning, walking all the while

はにかんでよるしくを伝えて こんな日々に涙は見せられない 前髮を梳かす指に隠れて とぼけた曈が熱くなる

I bashfully offer my regards In days like these, I can't let my tears be seen Hidden under the fingers combing through my bangs, my eyes, feigning innocence, begin to burn

本当によかった　出会えてよかったんだ あなたに 今はそれだけ胸に植え付けて これからもお元気で

I'm glad, really glad that I got to meet you Right now, only that thought is instilled in my heart May you stay well in the days to come

話せることが何もないまま 伝えたいことさえ伝わらないまま 笑えるならいいと思っていても 謝り足りないことに絆されたまま

With nothing left to say and the very things I want to tell you left unspoken I told myself it's fine as long as I can laugh but I'm still held captive by the feeling that I could never apologize enough

あてどなく紡いだ道の続きは 恐ろしくなるくらいに色づいていた マロニエの枝葉が揺れていたのは 今確かに風が吹いていたからだ

The continuation of the path we've aimlessly woven together has changed color so much it's frightening Branches of the horse chestnut tree were swaying because, indeed, the wind was blowing

「もう泣かないで」と歌ったあなたの 瞳が潤んでいた それを思い出す度に「醜い人だ」と また泣いて言うんだ

"Don't cry anymore", you sang, your own eyes getting teary Every time I recall that moment, I cry again calling you a cruel person

なのに会いたいと思ってしまうよ あなたに 悲しい言葉だけ選ぶような日々も そっと抱きしめて

Yet I still long to see you Gently holding close the days where I seemed to choose nothing but sorrowful words

戻れないあの日にはもう誰もいないから あと少し強がれるくらいになれたらいいな さよなら　さよなら　ありがとう 朝陽が今日を温め始めてた

Nobody is there anymore, on that day that we can't return to I wish I could be just a little tougher Goodbye, goodbye, thank you the morning sun has begun to warm the new day

はにかんでよるしくを伝えて こんな日々に涙は見せられない 前髮を梳かす指に隠れて とぼけた曈が熱くなる

I bashfully offer my regards In days like these, I can't let my tears be seen Hidden under the fingers combing through my bangs, my eyes, feigning innocence, begin to burn

本当によかった　出会えてよかったんだ あなたに 今はそれだけ胸に植え付けて これからもお元気で

I'm glad, really glad that I got to meet you Right now, only that thought is instilled in my heart May you stay well in the days to come

日々をそっと抱きしめて これからもお元気で

I hold the days close May you stay well in the days to come

Song: Fallen Bucket Music/Lyrics: Takumi Hayashida Album: Himitsu no Uta

陽が沈んでも部屋の隅っこで　また一人で誰かと喧嘩して そっと呟いた言葉なんて型抜いていた噓ばっかりで 諦めていたプロレタリアのとんと小さくなった歌声も 理由が欲しいくらいに淡々と今が怖かったんだろう

Even after the sun has set, in the corner of the room, I fight with someone all alone again The words I softly whispered are nothing but lies cut from a mold Even the defeated proletariat's voice that has faded out must have now so easily made me scared that I wanted to know the reason why

陽が昇っても部屋の隅っこで　声にならない文字を継ぎ接いで 荒らげた本音と裏腹に　騙しあうことに慣れるなんて 君は覚えているか　三月のやけに早咲いた桜の花を 望んじゃいないセーラー少女　頭上に降ったアスファルト

Even after the sun has risen, in the corner of the room, I stitch together voiceless words How did I get used to people deceiving each other while my true thoughts went wild? Do you still remember the cherry blossoms blooming so early in March that year and the sailor-suited girl, who didn't ask for any of this, with asphalt raining down upon her head?

当たり前すら知らずにいたって　蜻蛉は羽広げ 線路は続く　岬の方まで

Not knowing even the obvious, the dragonfly spreads its wings, the railway track stretches onward, all the way to the cape

まだ消えてくれないな　口火を食べる悪魔 仰げば希った　幸せよ　さようなら より遠くへ行こうか　いつしか口をついた 洗いざらい痛い思いだけ　鞄の奥に詰め込んで

It still refuses to disappear, the demon that devours the trigger Goodbye to the happiness I begged for looking up at the sky "Shall we go far away?" those words slipped out my mouth before I knew it as I squeezed the painful thoughts deep into the corner of my bag

陽が沈んでも部屋の隅っこで　また一人で仲直りをして 正直に話すその三回目　ひらり返されたその左手 君は覚えているか　八月のやけに早咲いた火の粉の花を 上げられないバケツを何度も見下ろすのは疲れたろう

Even after the sun has set, in the corner of the room, I make peace with myself, all over again The third time I tried to speak the truth, only to have it brushed aside by that left hand Do you still remember the sparks of fire blooming like flowers, so strangely early that year? You must have been so weary gazing down, time and again, at that bucket you could never quite lift

サンダル脱ぎ捨て　歓楽街まで走り抜いて　金平糖も無くなって 砂でできたアラカルトを嚙み砕いて　反吐吐いて　這う這うの体 消えない集燥　”大人になれよ”と幼い子供が僕を見ている くだらない夢を見て目覚めた夜 歯痒さ　もどかしさが何をしてくれたのか 僕を乗せて走る　線路の上

I kicked off my sandals and sprinted all the way to the entertainment district, my konpeito candies were all gone I gnashed my teeth on an à la carte dish made of sand, vomitted it back up, and scurried away An unceasing restlessness, a young child looked at me and told me to grow up already That night I woke up from a ridiculous dream What good did this frustration, this irritation, ever do to me? It carried me along and ran off the railway track

まだ消えてくれないな　夜を重ねて未だ 忘れたりしないさ　皺寄せよ　また明日 より遠くへ行こうか　口ずさんでいたのは 笑うくらい暗い思いだけ　また陽が昇る頃まで

It still won't fade away, while nights keep piling up I won't ever forget it, this burden, I'll see it tomorrow Shall we go somewhere far away, the only thing I found myself humming is a thought so dark it's laughable, until the sun rises once more

回せ　回せ　夕日を通して　覗いたカレイドスコープを 埽え　埽え　霞んだ桃源郷を見つめて

Spin, spin, that kaleidoscope I peered through, held against the setting sun Sweep, sweep, while gazing at that hazy utopia

まだ消えてくれないな　口火を食べる悪魔 仰げば希った　幸せよ　さようなら より遠くへ行こうか　いつしか口をついた 洗いざらい痛い思いだけ　鞄の奥に詰め込んで

It still refuses to disappear, the demon that devours the trigger Goodbye to the happiness I begged for looking up at the sky "Shall we go far away?" those words slipped out my mouth before I knew it as I squeezed the painful thoughts deep into the corner of my bag

まだ消えてくれないな　夜を重ねて未だ 忘れたりしないさ　皺寄せよ　また明日 より遠くへ行こうか　口ずさんでいたのは 笑うくらい暗い思いだけ また陽が昇る頃まで

It still won't fade away, while nights keep piling up I won't ever forget it, this burden, I'll see it tomorrow Shall we go somewhere far away, the only thing I found myself humming is a thought so dark it's laughable, until the sun rises once more

Song: よそゆき / Yosoyuki / Dressed up Music/Lyrics: Takumi Hayashida Album: Himitsu no Uta

思い出してしまうものは どれもあなたがいた景色 知らない街を眺めながら ふしぎと懐かしく思う

What I end up recalling all of them are sceneries where you were there Gazing at this unfamiliar city, oddly enough, a sense of nostalgia washes over me

あの日 かたどれない思い 今ならすぐに出てくるから

The feelings that I couldn't shape that day come to me so easily now

あのね わたしね あなたへ 言ってはいけない言葉を ばかね 恥ずかしくて 謝りたいなんて

You know, those words I shouldn't have said to you So silly of me, for getting embarrassed and wanting to apologize about it now

泣いてもいい理由ばかり ひとつひとつ数えていた そこにあったものはどれも そこに置かれたまま

There was nothing but reasons to cry I counted them one by one Everything that was there is still there

靴ずれしている痛みに 今になって 気付いたから

Only now have I finally noticed the pain from my blisters

あのね わたしね あなたに 言われて嬉しかったこと まだね 覚えててね 手放せないなんて

You know, I still remember things that I was happy you told me I can't believe I still can't let them go

あのね わたしね あなたへ 言えずに終わってしまったこと またね 思い出して 少しだけ遠くまで

You know, the things left unspoken until the end, I'll remember them once more and walk just a little further away.

Song: 驢馬が笑う / The donkey laughs Music/Lyrics: Takumi Hayashida Album: Himitsu no Uta

項垂れる少年の浴びる雨と罵る声が 静かにやつすその姿はさながら驢馬の様 荒ぶる素振りを見せれば醜い人の姿 「悪かった」と言わせる為だけに黙るのだ

The boy, his head hanging low, quietly takes in the rain that beats down on him and the voices cursing him, That figure of him looks like that of a donkey If he lashes out, he’d only look like an ugly human So he keeps his mouth shut, just to force an "I'm sorry" out of them.

しな垂れる髪の毛先に留まる水滴が今 憐れむように涙を誤魔化してはくれるけれど 語れる程じゃない器の持った脆弱さを ひた隠しにしながらひたすらに笑うのだ

Drops of water hanging at the end of his hair strands now mask his tears, as if taking pity on him but he laughs incessantly while desperately covering up the brittleness inside a vessel that isn't worth talking about

移ろう空に預けた心の行く末を よしなにと祈る弾み 頭ん中

Inside his head, he prays for his heart whose fate he has entrusted to the changing skies, to be guided well

鳴り止まない音楽の群れに 美しい人の調べに 何度救われたことでしょう 明日もまた笑えることでしょう

How many times has he been saved by the beautiful melodies of people within a swarm of ceaseless music? Would he be able to laugh again tomorrow?

狼狽える少年の春に宿した純心とは あちらこちらへ行き交う亡霊に然も似たりよ 高ぶる想いを馳せ辿り着いた人の姿 見事なまでにボロボロと崩れてゆくのだ

The innocence that stays within the spring of the flustered boy is like a ghost going here and there Driven by surging emotions, the figure of him that he finally reached now crumbles to pieces spectacularly

それは或る夕暮れ時 帰路の曲がり角の先で 淫らに成り下がった淑やかさの意味を前に 鳩尾の奥の痛みに平気な顔をしては 「それ見ろ」と言いながらひたすらに笑うのだ

That was one evening, around a corner on the way home, before the sight of grace degraded into depravity, he put on a nonchalant face despite the pain deep in the pit of his stomach "Would you look at that", he said laughing hysterically

目下 薔薇色の草原なんて夢のまた夢を 乾き出す蹄跡の描くまま

Right now, the dried up hoof prints still trace the pipe dreams of rose-colored meadows

止め処もない音楽の上に 浮き上がる人の心に 何度救われたことでしょう 明日もまた笑えることでしょう

How many times has he been saved by the human heart that floats above the endless music? Would he be able to laugh again tomorrow?

鳴り止まない音楽の群れに 美しい人の調べに 何度救われたことでしょう 明日もまた笑えることでしょう

How many times has he been saved by the beautiful melodies of people within a swarm of ceaseless music? Would he be able to laugh again tomorrow?

止め処もない音楽の上に 浮き上がる人の心に 何度救われたことでしょう 明日もまた笑えることでしょう

How many times has he been saved by the human heart that floats above the endless music? Would he be able to laugh again tomorrow?

Song: GLEN PLAID Music/Lyrics: Takumi Hayashida Album: Himitsu no Uta

雨ふり ひとり いそぎ足 スニーカー びっしょり だいなし 天気 おかまいなし 折りたたみ もってないんだ 日曜日

Rain's coming down, alone I hurry Sneakers soaked, what a pity weather be damned, no fold-up to carry That's a Sunday for me

今日は君に 会いにいく日 4時までには まに合いますように

Today you're the one I get to see So let me make it by 4 o'clock, please

アジサイの道 雨やどり もよりのパン屋の店さき できたてのかおり かぐわしい 目をうばい取る ショーケースに

Taking shelter on a hydrangea-lined passage Drifting out from the local bakery fragrance of bread baked freshly There a display case stands, so eye-catchy

思い出している 君ごのみ よりどりみどりにできない

Recalling what your taste would be I can't just choose randomly

Oh raining Oh raining Already past three

Oh raining Oh raining Don't let me gloomy

Oh raining Oh raining I don't have time to stay here

Oh raining Oh raining I wet the glen plaid to meet you

足ぶみ ひとり みぎ ひだり みぎ ひだり くりかえし 天気 おかまいなし みずたまり とおらないと進めない

Right then left, alone I'm stepping shyly Right then left again, I'm on repeat Weather be damned, puddles spread widely Gotta cross them if I want to move on rightly

今日は君に 会いにいく日 とっておいた おろしたてなのに

Today I get to meet you, finally Saved these brand-new shoes, kept them tidy

あざやかな街も 色おち もうこうしちゃいられない ふみ出す のきしたの外に 君が待っているほうに

Even the vivid town seems wishy-washy Can't keep waiting here idly So I step out from under the eaves to where you are waiting patiently

❝会いたい❞ ことばにしてみたり 晴れた日と 変わりないきもち

Tried saying "I miss you" honestly My feelings the same as a sunny day, totally

Oh raining Oh raining Already past three

Oh raining Oh raining Don't let me gloomy

Oh raining Oh raining I don't have time to stay here

Oh raining Oh raining I wet the glen plaid to meet you

雨ふり ひとり いそぎ足 全身 びっしょり だいなし でも おかまいなし これもいい天気になった日曜日

Rain comes down, alone I hurry Soaked all over, what a pity But really, I don't worry Even this turns into a Sunday that feels lively

[altamugs]

Song: Penguin's Detour Music/Lyrics: Takumi Hayashida Album: Himitsu no Uta

すっかり乗り慣れたフライトで 今日こそ堕ちてくれないだろうかと 頬杖ついて雲を眺める話をあと何度しよう 誰かを言い負かす為の機会を 何かにつけ狙っていた暮らしも 未だに古くなっちゃくれない

How many times more will I tell the story of me being on the flight that I've grown completely accustomed to, resting my chin in my hands, gazing at the clouds, wondering if today is finally the day we crash Even that life where I pounced on any tiny excuse as a chance to out-argue someone still hasn't gotten old

優しくしてくれたあの子にまでも どうせ心の中じゃ、なんてことを 思ってしまったのもつい最近ではあるけれど

Even toward that girl who treated me kindly, it was only recently that I started thinking "Well, in her heart she probably…"

小指に巻いた絆創膏が見えるようにと 近づいたばっかりに 本当は無かった傷が欲しくなる

Just by getting close so I could see the bandage on someone's pinky finger, I started longing for a wound that wasn't actually there

洒落っ気に欠けていた生返事を 嫌ってくれとまでは言えないけど

I can't go as far as to tell you to hate half-hearted responses that are lacking in wit

攫っていった未来に「そうかそうか」と頷いて 歩いた地上でのこと

All the things that happened on the ground I walked, nodding "I see, I see" at the future that'd been snatched away

飛べない鳥になっていた　ふらり彷徨ったまま 空からじゃ見られない眺めがあるんだと 言葉へ落とし込んで最後　嘘に変わってもね ただそれとなく伝わるものがあればいい

I became a flightless bird, wandering aimlessly because there are views you can't see from the sky Even if I put them into words and they turn into lies in the end, I hope something gets across to you, however indirectly

ぼんやり難しく思うこともそれなりに愛しくなれることを 知ってか知らでか分かったフリばかりが上手い人を

Even my habit of vaguely overthinking things could be quite endearing People who are good at pretending to know things whether or not they really know

嘲たことは無いといったものの 意味もなくケラケラと笑う僕を 言い表せた文字が欲しくなる

Though there's no need to scoff at them, I cackle meaninglessly I've started longing for words that could describe such a me

黙っていれば誰かが口を開くもの 座って待っていましょう　お茶を飲みながらでも 狂っちまった時代よさらば　「お先にどうぞ」と 静かに言った後

If you only stay silent, someone else will open their mouth So let's sit here and wait, we could even drink some tea Farewell to these crazy times, after quietly saying "After you"

泳げない魚になっていた　ひとり強張ったまま 水面に歪んだ自分の姿を 記憶へ落とし込んで誰も悪くないんだってね ただ一度だけ思わせるものがあればいい

I've become a fish that can't swim, growing stiff all on my own This distorted image of myself on the water surface, even if I sink it into memories, nobody is to blame I just need something to make me think that, just once

誰のせいだろう　僕のせいかも いや、きっとあいつのせいだのと 暗くなる外　張り詰める場所 繰り出す一人分の音 「あなたに分からないだろうけど」 言葉尻にはそう言い捨ててやろう でも　嗚呼もう　いつまで経っても救われない歌よ

Whose fault is it? Maybe it's me No, it's definitely his fault It's getting dark outside, the place all taut and strained A single person's worth of sounds ringing out "You probably won't understand anyway," I'll just toss that out as a trailing remark But alas, no matter how much time passes, this song is beyond saving

あるはずがなくなっていた　ゆらり揺蕩ったまま 寄る辺なく縋っていたはずだったのに 思いを遡ってみたって思い出せないね それが端からあったものなのかすら

It was supposed to be there but gone, I'm left here swaying to and fro, I'm supposed to hang on tight even when having nobody to turn to But as hard as I tried to trace along my memories, I can't even remember whether or not it was there from the start

飛べない鳥になっていた　ふらり彷徨ったまま 空からじゃ見られない眺めがあるんだと 言葉へ落とし込んで最後　嘘に変わってもね ただそれとなく伝わるものがあればいい

I became a flightless bird, wandering aimlessly because there are views you can't see from the sky Even if I put them into words and they turn into lies in the end, I hope something gets across to you, however indirectly

Song:ドウズ (J. Does) Music / Lyrics: Takumi Hayashida Album: Himitsu no Uta

若干違う気もしてた しかしどうもせわしい近頃は 貪る眠りの強かな その程度がより増した

I had a feeling it was a bit different but these days when it's quite hectic the intensity of my devouring sleep has increased even more

腑抜けたアン ドゥ トロワでは 空を飛んだ羊に近づけない 浅くなる夢の向こう側 酔わず揺らいでました

In this listless un deux trois, I can't get close to the flying sheep Beyond the dreams that are getting shallower, I swayed without being drunk

ヘイ ジョン・ドウ 思えば春の香りが立ったようで 行きませんか？ 振り向いたら たまたまあなたがいたもんで

Hey John Doe, come to think about it, it felt like the scent of the spring was in the air Shall we go? Because when I turned around, you happened to be there

ヘイ ジェーン・ドウ 一昨日からの騒ぎが嘘のようで 尚香った 前を見れば そっちはあなたがいたもんで

Hey Jane Doe, the commotion from the day before seemed like a lie and the scent grew even stronger because you happened to be there when I looked ahead

若干違う気もしてた しかし何の気なしに見ていたら ベランダに住んでたあいつが 穏やかに踊りだした

I had a feeling it was a bit different but as I was casually watching, the guy living on my balcony started dancing gently

履かされたトゥシューズは 2、3メートル先へ投げ棄てた 愉快なサンセットクルーズが 酔わせて参りました

I threw the pointe shoes I'd been forced to wear 2, 3 meters away This delightful sunset cruise had me intoxicated

ヘイ ジョン・ドウ 移ろう街の真下に落ちたようで 信じますか？ 見渡したら たまたまあなたがいたもんで

Hey John Doe, it seemed like I've fallen right under the fading city Would you believe it? Because I looked around and you happened to be there

ヘイ ジェーン・ドウ もう今までの焦りが嘘のようで 落ちがついた 洒落のきいた話に あなたがいたもんで

Hey Jane Doe, the impatience thus far seemed like a lie Because you were there in this neatly wrapped, clever story

わたしとあなたは確かな 不確かさを確かに知っていた あなたがわたしと同じなら それが確かになるなら

You and I, we certainly knew this certain uncertainty If you were the same as me If that could become certain

しがないハイ アンド ローとか 愛はこうでも そうでもないとか 話ができるんじゃないかと 酔いしれておりました

I was intoxicated and thought we could talk about worthless highs and lows, or about the fact that love is neither this nor that

ヘイ ジョン・ドウ 思えば春の香りが立ったようで 行きませんか？ 振り向いたら たまたまあなたがいたもんで

Hey John Doe, come to think about it, it felt like the scent of the spring was in the air Shall we go? Because when I turned around, you happened to be there

ヘイ ジェーン・ドウ 一昨日からの騒ぎが嘘のようで 尚香った 前を見れば そっちはあなたがいたもんで

Hey Jane Doe, the commotion from the day before seemed like a lie and the scent grew even stronger because you happened to be there when I looked ahead

ヘイ ジョン・ドウ 移ろう街の真下に落ちたようで 信じますか？ 見渡したら たまたまあなたがいたもんで

Hey John Doe, it seemed like I've fallen right under the fading city Would you believe it? Because I looked around and you happened to be there

ヘイ ジェーン・ドウ もう今までの焦りが嘘のようで 落ちがついた 洒落のきいた話に あなたがいたもんで

Hey Jane Doe, the impatience thus far seemed like a lie Because you were there in this neatly wrapped, clever story

■Song: さよなら以外 / Other Than Goodbyes ■Music / Lyrics:  CIVILIAN

何か話をしてください お互い無邪気に笑い合えるような 間違っているのは元だから この際ででたらめでも構わないから

Please say something, something that we both can innocently laugh over It's been wrong from the start, so I wouldn't mind if we talk nonsense now

探し求めた綺麗な水は 遥か昔に飲み干してしまった 側に居ると いつまでも変わらないと言ってた そんなものはあり得ないのに

The clear water that we've been searching for we drank it up long ago I said nothing would ever change so long as we're together though such a thing is impossible

さよなら以外信じられないの それ以外は全部消えてしまうから あなたが笑う顔を見る度 幸せなのに声が出ないよ

I can't believe in anything but goodbyes because everything else will eventually be gone Every time I look at your laughing face, I'm happy, yet I can't find my voice

小さな傷や些細な嘘 眼球にずっと張り付いている あの日と今は別の日なのに 目の前のあなたは別の人なのに

Small wounds and trivial lies always cling to my eyeballs even though today is different from that day and the you before my eyes now is no longer you of that day

秘密にしてた醜い穴を 晒せずにただ時だけ過ぎていく 脊髄から鳳仙花の花が咲いていた あなたの手がそれに触れた

Time just passes without me exposing the ugly hole I've been keeping a secret Touch-me-nots bloomed from my spinal cord, and you touched it with your hand

人を愛せ度孤独に飲まれ 隣に居るのに独りと知った あなたの笑う顔が好きだよ それでも僕は空しくなるよ

Once I love someone, I'm swallowed whole by loneliness Even with you by my side, I know I'm still alone I love your smiling face but I'm hollowed out

誰も無傷でいられない 過去が邪魔して笑えない どうしようもなく怖くなる あなたの目が それでもどうか幸せを あなたに青いランタンを 僕らにどうか幸せを　祈りながら

Nobody can stay unhurt forever The past gets in the way and we can't laugh about it Your eyes have become unbearably fearful Even so, while I pray for happiness a blue lantern for you and happiness for us all

さよなら以外信じられないの さよならだけいつも 繰り返してきたから あなたの笑う顔が好きだよ 幸せなのに声が出ないよ さよなら以外の消えない何かを さよなら以外の消えない何かを あなたがもしもくれるというなら その瞬間に消えてしまいたい

I can't believe in anything but goodbyes because goodbyes are the only thing that keeps coming back to me I love your face when you laugh I'm happy, yet I can't find my voice If you were to give me something that won't fade, something other than goodbyes something that won't fade, something other than goodbyes In that very moment, I'd want to disappear

Hi there, just want to let you know I am very thankful of your translation and upload of Hanara Banare -reprise-. I came upon it during my high school years through pure chance, and it has stuck with me ever since - I even translated it to my own language using your translation. I know it sounds weird but I hope you're doing okay these days and your love for Fullkawa and his music is still strong as ever. Take care!

This is making me emotional :( It's a coincidence that I came to know about Fullkawa when I was in high school just as you did, and his music ended up having such an immense influence on me. I still listen to his music these days. People say the music that you listen to in your teen years will stick with you for life and they're so right. It's such a magical thing that we get to carry a part of our youth with us wherever we go. Fullkawa's music has been and will always been a treasure to me. Thank you again for writing this and I hope you're doing well <3

[altamugs]

Girlie, are you still alive? Reply to this to confirm your survival status

i'm still alive!!!

don't know who you are but thanks for checking up on me <3 that's really sweet

Song: その電車、中津止まりにつき / That train, stops at Nakamatsu Music / Lyrics: メガナガメ / Mega Nagame Vocals: Kagamine Ren

夕暮れ5時の心斎橋 あてもなく歩くアーケード 建物の切れ間 射し込む斜陽 途切れがちな僕らの会話のよう

5 P.M at dusk in Shisaibashi, Walking aimlessly under the arcade Sunlight filtering through the gaps between buildings, like our interrupted conversation

週末ずっと一緒だったから 口数は減ってきたけれど 君の手から伝わる熱とか 静かな時間さえも心地よくて

We've spent the whole weekend together, so there's not much else to say, but the warmth from your hand or these quiet moments are comforting to me

帰りの時を引き伸ばすように ゆっくりした足取りで歩く

We walk slowly to prolong the journey home

行きたくないな 君と僕を 隔てる500キロが 心まで遠ざけるのが怖くて 君の手を離さずに 連れて帰りたいけど 横たわる現実を動かすには 僕は未熟すぎて

I don't want to go the whole 500 kilometers separating you and me I'm scared that even our hearts would grow apart I want to take you home with your hand in mine but I'm still too inexperienced to move the reality lying ahead

二人を遠ざける合図のように 接近メロディが鳴り響く 大阪の動脈に飛び乗り 細胞になって流れてゆく

Like a signal pulling us apart, the melody that signals the train's approaching resounds Jumping onto the arteries of Osaka, becoming cells in it and flowing away

梅田でやたらと人が降りて ガラガラになった席に二人 腰掛けたすぐ後に流れる 「この電車は次の中津までです」

A lot of people get off at Umeda Right after we take the two seats that have become empty, comes the announcement, "The next stop of this train is Nakamatsu."

「新大阪まで行かへんなあ」 悪戯な顔で君が笑う

"It won't go to Shin-Osaka huh?" You laugh mischievously

あと少しで辿り着けない もどかしい距離は 迷い躊躇う 僕の気持ちみたいで かりそめの終点を 取り払った先にある景色に まだ自信が持てないんだ

Just a bit more but we can't cross it, this vexing distance, stuck in hesitation, just like my feelings I still lack the confidence in the scenery that lies beyond the point where the temporary terminal has been cleared away

円いベンチ腰掛ければ 僕らだけのエアポケット 電車の音も雑踏も 消えていくんだ いつの間に見違えた この駅のように 変わって行かなきゃなあ 僕も

Once we sit on a round bench, we're inside our own air pocket The sounds of the trains and the crowd all disappear Much like this train station, which, before I knew it, I hardly recognized, I'd have to change, too.

「帰りたないな」 僕のワガママ 音でかき消すように サヨナラの電車はすぐやってきて 「せやけど…」って 寂しそうな 作り笑いキミにさせたくないんだ させたくないんだ もう

"I don't want to go home" The goodbye train comes as if to drown my selfish wish in sounds "I know, but…" I don't want you to make that sad forced smile I don't want you to, anymore.

地下から出た電車みたいに 気持ちは向こう岸に届くかな 淀川に夕陽が滲む

Like the train emerging from the underground, will my feelings reach the other shore? The Yodogawa river is blurred by the evening sun.

「なあ 死ぬまで横におってくれへん？」 陳腐な言葉しか出なかった 悪戯な笑顔で応えた君を 守るよ 本当の終点まで

"Hey, will you stay by my side until I die?" Only cliched words come out of my mouth With a mischievous smile, you replied, "I will protect you, until the true end."

Song: 旅立ちの詩 / Poem of Departure Music / Lyrics: whoo

朝露は箱庭へ落ちてゆく 祭火が昇りゆくその先は

Asatsuki wa hakoniwa e ochiteyuku Matsuri hi ga noboriyuku sono saki wa

Morning dews fall into the miniature garden Beyond where the festival fire rises

生まれては消えてゆく 淡い光が包み込んだら

Umarete wa kieteyuku Awai hikari ga tsutsumikondara

Once wrapped around by the fleeting light that repeats the cycle of being born and vanishing

今僕らは旅立つのさ、二人で

Ima bokura wa tabidatsu no sa, futari de

Two of us, we will set out on a journey

追いかける君の手のひらに 今、言葉を、眠りを

Oikakeru kimi no te no hira ni Ima, kotoba wo, nemuri wo

Right now, with the palm of your hands, chasing after words and sleeps.

生まれては消えてゆく　（朝露は箱庭へ） 淡い光が包み込んだら

Umarete wa kieteyuku Awai hikari ga tsutsumikondara

Once wrapped around by the fleeting light that repeats the cycle of being born and vanishing

今僕らの旅立ちの日、二人の

Ima bokura no tabidachi no hi, futari no

Right now, it's the day we set off on a trip, the two of us.

遥かなこの空を踏みつけて歩く

Harukana kono sora wo fumitsukete aruku

Treading on this far-away sky

今僕らの旅立ちの日、二人の （今僕らの旅立ちの日、二人の）

Ima bokura no tabidachi no hi, futari no

It's our day of departure

君の声を　君の音を 君の鼓動　不規則に鳴り響いて

Kimi no koe wo, kimi no oto wo Kimi no kodou, fukisoku ni nari hibiite

Your voice, your sounds, your heartbeat, resonating sporadically

僕の耳を　塞いでいた 目を瞑れば　ここに君がいるみたい

Boku no mimi wo fusaideita Me wo tsubureba, koko ni kimi ga iru mitai

I plugged my ears If I close my eyes, it's like you're right here with me

あの幻　夏の幻影 夏の雲に溶けて消えた

Ano maboroshi, natsu no genei Natsu no kumo ni tokete kieta

An illusion, a summer dream melt into a summer cloud and disappear

君の陽炎　足跡は崩れて 閉じた穴が埋まりゆく 君の眠りをさまさぬよう静かに音もなく

Kimi no kagerou, ashioto wa kuzurete Tojita ana ga umari yuku Kimi no nemuri wo samasanu you shizuka ni oto mo naku.

Your heat haze, footprints crumble The closed hole is gradually filled, so as to not wake you up, silently, without a sound.

hello i've been looking for the lyrics to whoo's 旅立ちの詩, and I was wondering if you knew of where to find them, since you've translated several of whoo's songs in the past? I've looked on vocadb but they're not there,,, i love that song and i'd love to translate it myself if I could (thank you!)

Oh my god, I didn't think I had the lyrics to this one but magic does happen sometimes and I found it in my old hard drive lol and I even translated it. I don't know if the lyrics were correct though, I may have transcribed it myself back then. I'll upload the lyrics later so you can have a go at translating it!! Thank you for reminding me of this song it's so beautiful and I almost forgot about it.

Edit: I didn't transcribe it on my own! I forgot how I got the lyrics but I just uploaded it here along with my old translation.

Hello! So sorry if you've addressed this before at some point, but would you happen to know if chibita is still singing somewhere? I'm not having any success searching for her under the name "yuu" :(

unfortunately as far as I know she doesn't use her twitter account anymore and also isn't currently active as a singer :(
