“Hitokazayo” by Andon ft. IA and KAITO / Translation

一風夜 / Hitokazayo / Night Of A Single Wind

Thank you for the translation request and for introducing me to this song, Anon! I love it so much. The imagery is gorgeous in this one!

Music, Lyrics: Andon (link to their piapro) Tuning, Video: Tori no Ko Illustration: yuma Vocals: IA and KAITO

【IA・KAITO】一風夜【オリジナル曲】

蝉も鳴く鳴く昼の下がりは 虚空に浮かぶ　日輪の時 暑さ忘れてはしゃぐ子どもにゃ 水を浴びせておいとけ

Early afternoon, when cicadas sing and sing, When the sun floats in the empty skies, The children forget the heat and frolic Go and pour some water on them

蛙鳴く鳴く宵の始まり 光の消える　落陽の時 暑さ忘れてはしゃぐ大人にゃ 神の水でも飲ませろ

Early evening, when frogs croak and croak, When the light fades and the sun descends, The adults forget the heat and make merry Give them a drink of the gods’ water

上がる　人の影と声と 熱は　増える明かりの波 今日も　音は消えぬ 響かせろ鬨の声を

The heat (People’s shadows and voices) Rises (Swelling waves of lamps) Today as well (The sound does not stop) Let the battle cry echo

ならせ祭りだ宵の風 騒ぐ声とてひと風情 さあ叩け　魂奮う音 届けよ天に　捧げよ天に 祭り一風夜

Let it ring, this is a festival in the evening wind The air is astir with the buzz of lively voices Come, let us drum a soul-stirring beat Let it reach heaven, offer it to heaven At this festival on the night of a single wind

暑さも和らぐ暮夜 人の波　途切れぬ 大も小も入りまじり 興じる片時の夜 飲めや　騒げや　叩けや 空に花咲かせろ すべて一晩の至りさ

Night falls, the heat subsides There is no end to the throng Young and old, all mingle It is the night to make merry So drink, make noise, beat your drums Make flowers bloom in the sky above (TL Note 1) Everything shall lead to this tonight

祀るものなど知りはしないが 火を掲げたらそれは祭りさ 地祇のことなど隅に追いやり 杯交わし　宵酔い

Who are we worshipping? I don’t know, but If there’s a fire blazing, I call it a festival Let’s chase the gods away to a corner, Exchange cups and be drunk tonight

上がる　人の影と声と 熱は　増える明かりの波 今日も　声は消えぬ 響かせろ鬨の声を

The heat (People’s shadows and voices) Rises (Swelling waves of lamps) Today as well (The voices do not stop) Let the battle cry echo

ならせ祭りだ宵の風 歌う声とてひと風情 さあ吹けよ　魂揮う音 届けよ天に　捧げよ天に 祭り一風夜

Let it ring, this is a festival in the evening wind The air is astir with the thrum of chanting voices Come, let us play a soul-stirring tune (TL Note 2) Let it reach heaven, offer it to heaven At this festival on the night of a single wind

「神よ我ら人の子らは 声を上げて歌いましょう 八百万の意思よ聞きたまえ 我らの鼓の音　我らの心 風に乗せ運ぶ」

“O gods, we who were born human Shall raise our voices and sing O countless wills, please listen (TL Note 3) To the beat of our drums, to our hearts Let the wind carry them to you”

ならせ祭りだ宵の風 篝火の先　陽は昇る 黎明の光は今来たり また会いましょう 祭り一風夜

Let it ring, it’s a festival in the evening wind Beyond the bonfires, the sun is rising The light of dawn is now upon us Let us meet again, let us meet again At the festival on the night of a single wind

br>

Translator's Notes:

(TL Note 1) I assume "flowers blooming in the sky" mean fireworks. (TL Note 2)The Japanese word for "play" here is 吹け (fuke) which is used for wind instruments, like the flute (or shakuhachi, maybe!) that this song features. (TL Note 3)I use "countless" for the word 八百万 (yaoyorozu), which technically means "eight million" but idiomatically means "countless." It's often used in the phrase 八百万の神 (yaoyorozu no kami,) which means "all the gods and goddesses."

Update on Requests

Hi everyone! Hope you've had a wonderful KAITO Birthday Week!! Can you believe it's been 16 years?! We got some incredible art and music this time too, and I am so full of love and gratitude for KAITO and the community. I translated a couple of songs on a roll and I can't wait to do more. I want to update you all on the status of a few requests that I got some time in 2020-21 (Time flies, omg) Right now, I've got four requests pending. 1. 一風夜 (Hitokazayo) by Andon 2.ダリハニ (Kaitonation longer edit) (Darihani) by yuukiss 3. 世ツ討ち横丁 (Yotsuuchi Yokochou) by yuukiss 4. 愛の捌け口 (Ai no Hakeguchi) by Re:nG I need to stop getting sidetracked by all the cool new songs coming out and focus on my requests! So I'm going to finish them all by the end of March, and then I plan on opening up requests again! And once requests are open, I will do one requested song a month, so I can balance the new songs and requests. Feel free to send in asks or anything else in the meantime. Thanks for your patience, everyone (if you're still around my blog!) - Aza

“Hikari yo Hikari yo” by Sukoyaka Daiseidou / Translation

ひかりよひかりよ / Hikari yo Hikari yo / Light, Light

Music, Lyrics: Sukoyaka Daiseidou (SukoyaCathedral) Vocals: KAITO

ひかりよ ひかりよ 地を濯ぐ灯りよ 千年の錨よ 祈りよ 汝へと

Light, light, flame that washes the land anew Anchor of a thousand years, this is a prayer to you

貫き乱る火の先の温もりを縁に 天へ昇る音に誘われ眠る

I rely on the warmth of the piercing, dancing flames and go to sleep, lured by sounds that ascend toward heaven

(Dheed bale, gless Zhiir. Hax skarh, shaw Zhiir. Zaxx, deff, prous reen. Pash dake, van Zhiir!)

導くは精霊の声

The voices of the spirits of ancestors guide me

"Elk-owf Feiw yuustt, Mir wis Feiwng skay." "Elk-owf Feiw quarstt, Mir wis vi Feiwng tham." Zhis peel mir end qleie ja, ar...ar!

此の身が裂けようとも 此の喉が灼けようとも 今 祖に届くだけの ただ、ひかりを──

Even if my body is rent asunder, even if my throat is scorched, I need only the light that reaches my ancestors now——

ひかりよ ひかりよ 唯燃ゆる命火よ (TL Note. 1) 千年の錨よ 祈りよ 我が朋よ

Light, light, flame of life that simply burns Anchor of a thousand years, you are my prayer and my friend

Translator's Notes:

(TL Note. 1) In this line, 命火 means "the flame of life" but it is sung as ひかり (meaning "light.")

Milk Puzzle by wotaku / Translation

ミルクパズル / Milk Puzzle

Uploaded for KAITO's 16th Anniversary! Link to this song's page on Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki (romaji can be found here!): Milk Puzzle

Lyrics, Music, Arrangement: wotaku Mastering: 松永 健司 (MIXER'S LAB) Illustration: シノイ Vocals: KAITO

寝る前に聴いてた歌手や 待ち合わせの時間が住んだ 寒空を覗く窓が あるだけの六畳を描いた ミルクパズルのように

The singer I was listening to before bed The time we were supposed to meet A window looking out into the cold sky I imagined a six-mat room inhabited only by these things Like a milk puzzle (TL Note. 1)

ハイライトの無い目で歩く サラリーマンと地下鉄の刑 席で咳をするのは散歩のご老人

The salarymen walk with no light in their eyes It’s the punishment of the subway A old man on an outing coughs in his seat

コントロールをされてるのか コントロールが出来ないのか 気付かないように耳を塞ぐ音楽

Are they being controlled? Or are they unable to control? Music floods their ears so they don’t have to realize

白い息が綺麗なのは 寒い夜の償いだろうか 時計を円で表したのは 皮肉だろうか

My white breath is beautiful Is that how the night compensates for its cold? Is the fact that clocks are circular A form of irony?

憧れも　悔しさも　夢も 諦めて人間になった 雪なんて降らなくても もうここは固形の海だ

I gave up my longing, regret, and dreams, And became a human being. Even if it doesn’t snow tonight, This is already a solid ocean

駅前の商店街は寂れ よく見える星が見下す マフラーの隙間から刺した 風が眠気を覚ましてく 野良猫が横切る路地で 外灯と自販機だけがある 「ねえ、一人は怖いでしょ？」 差し出された手はもう無い

The shopping street in front of the station is deserted Under the light of an easily visible star The wind slips through the gaps in my scarf And stings me awake In an alley that a stray cat crosses, There are only streetlights and vending machines “Hey, isn’t being alone scary?” The hand that reached out to me is no longer here

どうなってもいいやとやがて 凶行に走る人がいた でも　それを否定できずに 同情した

There was a person who chose violence in the end Saying “I don’t care what happens.” But I sympathized with them, Unable to disagree

赤信号を渡るバンが 火の着いたタバコを落とした 飲みかけたコーヒーがもう 不味くなった

From a van running the red light, Someone dropped a lit cigarette The coffee I’ve been drinking Doesn’t taste good anymore

自分だけが聡明ならば 長い夜に黎明があったか 分かり合えば少数派の血は 怖くもないか

If I was the only wise person, Would there have been a dawn after a long night? If we understood each other, Would you be afraid of the blood of the minority?

愚かだと嗤い蔑んだ 浅ましい人間になった 今日と明日の境界線は もうとうに過ぎてたみたいだ

I laughed at myself, despising my stupidity I have become a wretched human being It looks like the line between today and tomorrow Has already passed by me

倅んだ指が液晶に 意味の無い文字を呟く 広いと思っていた校舎 今見ればそうでもないか 早く帰りたいのに何故か 遠回りして何になる 「ねえ、明日が怖いよ」と 泣いた相手はもういない

My frozen fingers tap out Meaningless words on the LCD I used to think the school building was huge It actually isn’t, now that I look at it I want to get home early, but for some reason I’m making a detour. What’s the point though? “Listen, I’m scared of tomorrow” The person who cried out those words is no longer here (TL Note. 2)

Translator's Notes:

(TL Note. 1)"Milk puzzle" may refer to a jigsaw puzzle in which all the pieces are white, making it hard to put together. This may be inspired by "Milk Puzzle," a painting of an all-white puzzle from the video game Ib. (TL Note. 2)The Japanese word for "person" here is 相手 (aite), meaning "the other person", "partner" or "companion," so the narrator is referring to another person, not himself.

But I also want to interact with the Vocaloid/KAITO fandom more, share art, reblog people's posts, and so on. So I started a side blog! Please follow me :3 Azayaka's New Side Blog!

Rainy Snowdrop by Re:nG / Translation

レイニースノードロップ / Rainy Snowdrop

This is KAITO's official 15th Anniversary theme song for Magical Mirai 2021! Link to this song's page on Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki (romaji can be found here!): Rainy Snowdrop

Lyrics: KATABIRA Yuki Music & Arrangement: Re:nG Electric Guitar: SATORI Kento Illustration: Heiwa Movie: Andou Vocals: KAITO

声を上げろ 黙った僕の存在意義なんて どこにもないんだ

“Raise your voice.” There isn't any reason for me to exist If I’m silent

新しい靴おろすと すぐ土砂降りの雨で

I wear new shoes out And it starts pouring immediately

傘を持つとほら 嘘みたいに晴れるんだ

I open my umbrella, and look! The sky's clearing up as if it was a joke

昔からいつもツイてない星回り 鼻をすする音を雨がかき消した

It's always been like this, I have no luck The rain drowns out the sound of my sniffles

代わりはいくらでもいて 選ばれない自分

There are countless people who can replace me I am never chosen

俯き歩き見つけた花の名は そっと春を告げる スノードロップ

As I hung my head and walked, I found a flower whose name Softly announces the arrival of spring "Snowdrop"

青く揺れる理想と夢が また不甲斐ない僕を衝き動かすから

My ideals and dreams sway blue And rouse me from my spiritlessness

声を上げろ 黙った僕の存在意義なんて どこにもないんだ

“Raise your voice.” There won't be any reason for me to exist If I remain silent

踠けよ やりきれない世界で

Give it your all in this unbearable world

「どうでもいい」とか 「わからない」だとか そのまま歌うのは簡単だけど

“I don’t care” Or “I don’t know.” It's easy to keep singing like that, butt

答えがないような気がしても 諦めきれず探す日々は無駄じゃない

Even if I feel like there are no answers, The days I spend searching without giving up are not in vain

考えすぎだと笑う君を思い出す

I remember you laughing as you say I'm thinking too much

流れ流され過ごせば楽になる でもそんな弱い僕は嫌なんだ

oing with the flow might be easier But I hate being that weak

エゴでもいい 偽善でもいい この歌声だけが二人を繋ぐから

I don't care if it’s egotistical, I don't care if it's hypocritical This voice is the only thing that will connect the two of us

声にならない痛みは 眠れない夜の祈りに変えよう

Let me take my voiceless pain And turn it into a sleepless night’s prayer

希望と不条理を抱え

I’ll hold on to my hope and irrationality

「変わらずにいて」そう願うのは ワガママだと分かっているよ

“Stay as you are.” I know it’s Selfish to wish for that

あの日の君と僕は あの日のまま心に

In my heart, the you and I of that day Remain as we were on that day

もう雨は上がった 晴れた空を仰ぎ見る

The rain has now lifted I look up at the clear sky

過去も傷もこの苦しみも 手放さずに向き合うことを決めたんだ

I’ve decided to face my past, my wounds And this pain, without letting go

落ちる雪と 孤独に凍えた背中は 遠い記憶

The falling snow And my back frozen in loneliness Are now far-off memories

青く揺れる理想と夢が また不甲斐ない僕を衝き動かすから

My ideals and dreams sway blue And rouse me from my spiritlessness

声を上げろ 無力さを嘆いてないで 扉を開けよう

“Raise your voice.” Instead of lamenting my powerlessness, I’ll open the door

涙が乾いたら未来へ

When my tears dry, I'll head into the future

Translator's Note:The snowdrop flower is one of the first flowers to bloom at the end of winter, and so is associated with hope, consolation and overcoming obstacles. Translator's Side Note: AAAAAAAAHHHH What a beautiful song! Re:nG-sama has done it again. I'm so glad KAITO is getting the love he deserves. Enjoy this song, everyone. HAPPY 15TH, DEAR KAITO!

“Idol Radio” by Daisuke Ohnuma / Translation

偶像無線 / Guuzou Rajio / Idol Radio

Link to this song's page on this blog: Here! Link to this song's page on Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki (romaji can be found here!): Idol Radio

Lyrics: 紫川札喰 Music: Daisuke Ohnuma (Daifuku-P) Vocals: KAITO

嘘つきの神様に背中を向けた 悪戯な微笑みは夜空に溶ける イカれた無線（ラジオ）のスピーカーからはまだ 強がりと後悔の「SOS」（たすけて）

I turned my back on the god of liars My mischievous smile melted into the night sky But my broken radio’s speakers still stream An SOS of regret and pretending to be strong

まだ僕も分からないんだ 君を信じてもいいかすら 手を伸ばす先の人々の 視線は明後日の裏っ側 また君は笑いだすんだ 「何も見なくてもいいよ」って 「こぼれてく雫の行方を 　見届ける価値はあるのか」って

I still don’t know If I should believe in you The people I stretch my hand out toward Are gazing at the other side of day after tomorrow Once again, you laugh And say, “You don’t have to look at anything.” “Is it worth seeing for yourself Where these spilling drops are flowing off to?”

深く青い空へ　僕の夢は引かれ 細いアンテナが拾う歌も 歪な声のノイズに変わる

My dreams are pulled towards the deep blue sky Even the songs the thin antenna picks up Are turning into a noise of distorted voices An SOS of regret and pretending to be tough

嘘つきの神様に背中を向けた 悪戯な微笑みは夜空に溶ける イカれた無線（ラジオ）のスピーカーからはまだ 強がりと後悔の「SOS」（たすけて）

I turned my back on a lying god My mischievous smile melted into the night sky But my broken radio’s speakers still stream An SOS of regret and pretending to be tough

今はただ歌いたいんだ 誰も笑わなくなったって 灰色にくすむ町並みの 景色は明後日の向こう側 もう君に届かないんだ 「何も聞かなくていいよ」って 「降り注ぐノイズに埋もれた この世なんて価値はないだろう」って

I just want to sing now Even if everyone stops smiling The scenery of this dull gray town Is on the other side of day after tomorrow I can’t reach you anymore You say, “You don’t have to listen to anything.” “There can’t be any value to this world That’s buried in pouring noise.”

そっと触れた指に　僕の夢は覚めて 細いアンテナに乗せた歌は にじんだ色の世界を染めてゆくから

At the gentle touch of your fingers, I wake up from my dreams Because the songs I load onto my thin antenna Will bring color to a faded world

遠く淡い記憶　僕のそばで君は 何も言わずに窓の向こうを 見つめるただの傀儡のようで

In a faint, distant memory, you’re standing beside me, Just looking out of the window Without a word, like a puppet

深く青い空へ　僕の夢は引かれ 細いアンテナが拾う歌も 歪な声のノイズに変わる

My dreams are pulled towards the deep blue sky Even the songs picked up by the thin antenna Turn into a noise of distorted voices

嘘つきの神様に背中を向けた 悪戯な微笑みは夜空に溶ける イカれた無線（ラジオ）のスピーカーからはまだ 強がりと後悔の「SOS」（たすけて）

I turned my back on a lying god My mischievous smile melted into the night sky But my broken radio’s speakers still stream An SOS of regret and pretending to be strong

嘘つきの世界へサヨナラを告げて でたらめな微笑みの仮面も捨てた イカれた無線（ラジオ）の向こうから叫ぶよ 繰り返す絶望の明日へ

I said goodbye to the world of liars I even threw away my stupid smiling mask I’ll shout from the other side of the broken radio Into repeating tomorrows of despair

Translator's Side Note: By now you guys must have figured out that I'm terrible at posting on a schedule. I've been beating myself up for ignoring this blog for the past few months, and I can't take it anymore. I'm back and I'm gonna post every week, I swear.

“Nattougoshi ni Breaker Ijittara Koegawari Shita” by manbo-P / Translation

Title: 納豆ごしにブレーカーいじったら声変わりした Nattougoshi ni Breaker Ijittara Koegawari Shita When I Tinkered with the Breaker through a Wall of Natto, My Voice Changed.

Translator's Note: I was asked to translate the text in the video as well, so I wondered how to format the translation to make it readable. In the end, I went with this format: lyrics are left aligned, narration text (marked ※) is center aligned, and the yellow text in the video that shows the location of things is right aligned. And I included timestamps for each transition in the video. You can find romaji for the lyrics in this song's Vocaloid Lyrics Wiki page. Enjoy the translation!

“Scabiosa” by Lutie / Translation

スカビオサ / Scabiosa

KAITO cover producer Lutie's first original work---and last upload. An absolutely beautiful, delicate, and heartbreaking song.

Music, Lyrics, Video: ルティエ/Lutie Illustration: にう Vocals: KAITO V3 Chorus: VY2, Fukase, Kagamine Len

夢を見ていた 週末の午後4時 「君が死んだ」 (届いた手紙) *see Translator's Notes 夢じゃなかった

I was dreaming At four p.m. on a weekend You passed away (A letter arrived) *see Translator's Notes It wasn’t a dream

「やりたいことがある」 そう言って飛び出した あれから10余年 初めての手紙だった

“There’s something I want to do” You said so and took off More than ten years had passed And that was the first letter

「なんで」 嗚呼もう会えないなんて 嘘みたいな話だ！ ありえない思わず叫ぶ 手紙を放り捨てた 何も言えない侭で？ これでお終いなのか？ 刺さる西の光に 堪らず瞳を閉ざした

“Why?” Ah, to think that I can’t see you again-- You’ve got to be kidding! There’s no way! Unconsciously I cried out And threw the letter away Is this how it has to end? Without me being able to say anything? I shut my eyes, unable to bear The piercing western light

部屋の隅の写真立てが 音を立て倒れる横で 花瓶の花が揺れている

The photo frame in the corner of room Makes a sound as it falls over, and beside it The flower in the vase starts trembling

君の好きな花だけれど 僕は好きじゃなかったんだ 昔どこかで読んだ あの花言葉は

That was your favorite flower But I didn’t like it Long ago I read somewhere That in the language of flowers it means—

「あのさ」 嗚呼もう会えないなんて 嘘みたいな話さ！ あっけない紙切れ一つ これでお終いなのか さよならなんてすぐには 受け入れられないけど せめてもう一度だけ 君の声が聴きたかった

“Hey, by the way” Ah, I can’t believe that I won’t be able to see you again! Is this how it ends? With one quick piece of paper I can’t accept so soon That this is goodbye I would have liked to hear your voice Just one more time, at least

スカビオサ 花言葉: 無からの出発

-Scabiosa- Flower symbolism: A departure from nothingness

Translator's Notes: * Here the lyric in the video is 「君が死んだ」 (You passed away) but KAITO actually sings 届いた手紙 (A letter arrived).

Hiiii how are you? Since the previous requester asked for a yuukiss song, would you mind doing KURENAI BEAT ft. MEIKO too? Thanks~

Hi! I'm well, thank you! Hope you’re well too! 

Another yuukiss song, sure! I’m behind on requests right now due to having been MIA for a month, so please wait a bit until I get to this!

[echoesofblue]

it's album exclusive, but maybe 愛の捌け口 by Re:nG?

Thanks for the request, Anon! Sorry I’m getting around to this so late. 

This is on the "Escape from sweet rain” album, right? Will get to it! :D

I’m back.

Hi everyone, it's been a while! My apologies for the utter absence of activity on my blog over the past few weeks. I was busy with a few big life decisions, and I had no energy to translate anything. But I'm now done with that stuff and BACK IN BUSINESS! It's going to take a month or so to catch up with all the requests I have now, so I'm going to close requests temporarily. In case you noticed I was missing, thanks a bunch for waiting. Hopefully the next time I go on hiatus (if I ever have to), I'll tell you guys in advance. (T_T)

hi, i actually have a few to suggest! maybe ダリハニ (kaitonation longer edit), or 世ツ討ち横丁 if they don't already have translations? both by yuukiss!

Sure! I LOVE YUUKISS!!

These songs are both album exclusives, so I’m going to share just the translations (no lyrics.)

“Frankenstein no Koibito” by Matsurino / Translation

フランケンシュタインの恋人 / Frankenstein no Koibito / Frankenstein's Lover

Music, Lyrics: 祭野 (Matsurino) Vocals: KAITO V3

怖い夢を見たんだね 嵐の夜だからさ もう一度、さあ、おやすみ

You had a scary dream, didn’t you? Well, it’s a stormy night outside Come now, it’s good night, once more

明日が君に優しく 愛しくありますように 月光（ひかり）の導に沿って どうか迷わないように

May tomorrow be a kind And lovely day to you Stay on the path of light So you don’t lose your way

小さな灯りで 絵本読み聞かせた

By a tiny light, I read you a picture book

腐乱した心臓ぎゅっと握っても 痺れ、痛み無いようで だから大丈夫 どうしてか苦しい空っぽの胸に 君の温度をひとつ 詰めたなら微睡（ねむ）れそう

Even if I grip my rotten heart tightly, It doesn't seem to hurt or be numb So it’s alright But my empty chest is in anguish for some reason If I stuff a bit of your warmth Into it, I think I’ll be able to sleep

そっと頬にキスをして さよならの代わりにしよう 愛してくれてありがとう でも次は素敵な恋をして

Let me softly kiss your cheek Instead of saying goodbye Thank you for loving me, But I want you to have a wonderful romance after this

細いプラチナ 流星群に乗せて

Place that dainty piece of platinum On a meteor shower

寂しくないようにおまじないをあげる 優しい音のオルゴール だから泣かないで どうしたって消せない君の記憶（なか）の僕 穏やかな過去になれと せめてただ祈らせて

I’ll give you a lucky charm so you won’t feel lonely It’s a music box with a gentle sound So don’t cry No matter what, I can’t erase the version of me in your memories At least let me just pray That he becomes part of a tranquil past

腐乱した心臓ぎゅっと握っても 痺れ、痛み無いようで だから大丈夫 どうしてか苦しい空っぽの胸に 君の温度をひとつ 詰めたなら微睡（ねむ）れそう

Even if I grip my rotten heart tightly, It doesn't seem to hurt or be numb So it’s alright But my empty chest is in anguish for some reason If I stuff a bit of your warmth Into it, I think I’ll be able to sleep

Sorry I’ve been late on the requests, folks! Been busy with RL stuff, but I should be able to get a few requests out this weekend! :D

[echoesofblue]

I would like to request 一風夜! I found a copy of the lyrics on Piapro too (add /t/xmH5 to the url)

Added to my list! Thanks for the lyrics. :D
