Hellooo !! Uhm so I know you must be pretty busy, but your translations are really great and I'm very grateful for your work ! Uh anyway what I wanted to ask was, whenever you have time (or not at all if you don't want to i mean yeah), would it be possible to translate some more songs from Yamiiro Night Parade ? (I'm personally fond of Boukyaku no Cuore and Septet Minus a Fear so I'd like to know what they mean haha) Anyway have a great day !
Aww, thank you so much for your kind words, it warmed my heart up a bit (#^.^#)
I’m sorry in that I can’t guarantee a time for the posts, but I definitely would like to translate more songs from Yamiiro Night Parade in the future and I’ll keep the two songs you mentioned in mind! In case that I end up being super late, I recall eleven-xi also received a request for Septet Minus a Fear so she might translate it first :D
Hi, would you mind if I used your translation of Teller Storyteller in my vid? Of course I'll credit you and everything.
Thank you for using my translations in your video and crediting me! I don’t mind if you use my translations and appreciate that you’ve told me beforehand.
If you don’t mind, please send me a link when you are done so I can watch your video later ~ヾ(＾∇＾)
do you have a yt/subbing account or do you only do text translations?
Currently, I am only doing text translations. Since utaites normally discourage reprints of their videos and songs, I'm still debating about making video translations.
I hope I'm not troubling you, but will you translate 右に曲ガール? Thank you for accepting requests! :)
Sorry for the late reply m(_ _)m！I’ll add it to my list of things to translate. However, like I’ve said before I’m really busy these days. It might take me a while to find some time to translate it, but I promise I’ll get around to it ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
All copyrights and ownership belong to the utaite まふまふ [twitter@uni_mafumafu].
I edited and adjusted the place when mafumafu says “hidori ni shinai de” that matchakame mentioned. You should be able to hear it when you play it on iPhone speakers now. It’s around 3:23 in the audio track.
Mafumafu most likely edited that part of the song like that on purpose (excluding the part where it disappears when played through iPhone speakers).
So, please enjoy and watch/listen to the original as well ٩(◦`꒳´◦)۶!
After a short semi-hiatus, I bring to you “Eimin Douwa” as requested by dapastamastah (ﾉ´ヮ´)ﾉ*:･ﾟ✧! “Eimin Douwa” was posted quite a while ago, so I apologize if this has been translated already.
*Please credit me and let me know if you are using this translation*

English Translation
Jumping on the first train, clinging onto my nonexistent knowledge
Singing in the middle of the cage, I searched for existence of the small me
If I didn’t have the correct one on hand,
I’m scared to steal someone’s seat in order to survive
That’s right, I already knew everything
I can’t move the body I’m born with very well
Even the fact that I’m absorbing lives, taking in breaths,
won’t change. This much, I already know.
Someday I’ll even forget things like being alive
I satisfied Sorrow in order to melt the world
not even one of the undesirable things and the like exist
in order to dream of tomorrow, underneath my eyelids
As if the steel tower outside the railroad line is collapsing,
I was eaten by worms before I opened my eyes
That’s right, I already knew everything things like being alive
There’s no meaning at all in things like that
“Even if I’m sad, I will, nevertheless, earnestly run forward”
Since I don’t have a motivation like that, let me sleep already
At the place where the abandoned light was on the verge of disappearing
Unfortunately, I completely forgot that I am still me
not even one of the things like “being saved” exist
I rather commit double (lover’s) suicide by falling if the end is inevitably coming
than to dream of tomorrow (underneath my eyelids)
Hello! If it's not too much to ask, could you please translate "Starry Sky Kaleidoscope" by mint*? It's a beautiful song, but I can't seem to find the translation anywhere, so this would mean the world to me ◝(●˙꒳˙●)◜ Thank you for your other translations as well! I really appreciate what you do! ♡
I’m glad you like my translations ヾ(･ω･｡)ｼ !
I’ll translate “Starry Sky Kaleidoscope,” but I’m extremely busy this and next week. I’ll try to find some time to translate it and I will definitely finish all of the requests so far, but I can’t guarantee that I can finish translating them in the next couple of days. This applies to both accepted and future requests.
I apologize in advance for the delay and thank you for your patience m(_ _)m!
✲ Please inform & credit us if you use the translation! If you find any mistakes, feel free to message me or Kou!
Romaji / English Translation:
“Hagurenai you ni” to tsubuyaite
Boku no suso wo tsukanda
Shizukesa ga zutto tsuduita you na
Ano natsuzora no shita
“So we don’t get separated”, you whisper
As you cling onto my shirt hem
Under that summer sky
Where peace seems to continue forever
Satsuki yami ga akete
Hitomi no eishaki no naka
Hashiriyoru kimi no itoshisa
Mou modorenai
The darkest night in the rainy season has brightened
Inside the film projector in my eye
I run up to you, but your affection
Can no longer return
Toki ga yoru wo tsurete kimi to miteita sora wo
Kuraku someageru
Karatomurai ashita no saki ni
Nee mada kimi wa imasu ka
Time takes the night away
And dyes the sky I saw with you black
With the burial of my unresolved love*, I look towards tomorrow
Hey, are you still there?
Yukikau dareka ni yosomi shite
Kimi wo okoraseta koto
Sonna shiawase to machiawase
Ano jinja no soba
I made you angry
By being distracted as someone passed by
A rendezvous with that sort of happiness
Next to that shrine
Surechigatte utsusemi
Kitto tadoreba yokorenbo
“Kidukanai furi shita kuse ni”
Ttesa kimi wa iu?
Passing by each other in reality
If we had follow through, it’d surely have been a forbidden love
“Even though you pretended not to notice”
Remember, you would say?
Akiru made miteita kimi to miteita
Sora wa doko made tsuduku no?
Tsudukanai no wa hanabi no ne ya
Sou futari no koi
Watching it until I grew tired, watching it with you
Where will the sky continue to?
What won’t continue is the sound of the fireworks
Yes, just like the two of our love
Ima wa sawarenai mono ya wasureta mono wo
Hitotsu futatsu kazoeteiku
Mizu ni utsuru tsuki no iro toka
Ano hosoi yubisaki toka
Right now, the things I can’t touch & the things I have to forget
One, two, I continue to count
The color of the moon reflected in the water
And those thin fingers of yours
Yume no mani mani
At the mercy of my dreams
Mata nandomo, mata nando demo
Ano hanabi wo mini yukunda
Boku wa mada kimi ga suki dayo
No matter how many times, no matter how many times again
I will go to see those fireworks
I still like you, you know
Nee
Hey
Yume hanabi tomore akashiro kiiro
Boku to ano ko no aida de
Me wo fusaide kita sono subete
Ima omoidasasete
Dream fireworks, light up in red, white, and yellow
In the space between me and that girl
Everything that I’ve closed my eyes to
Right now, let me recall it
Yoidoki ga yoru wo tsurete kimi to miteita sora wo
Kuraku someageru
Chiisaku natta oto no saki ni
Nee mada kimi wa imasu ka
The early evening hours take the night away
And dye the sky I saw with you black
Beyond the slowly fading sounds
Hey, are you still there
Nee
Hey
Translator’s note:
*The lyrics include the word “空葬い/karatomurai,” which means an ‘empty burial’, or a burial conducted without having found the person’s corpse. We interpreted it to mean that the two decided to lock their love for each away without resolving their actual feelings.

Thank you for reading!
This is my first collaboration with Kou, who was kind enough to message me in the middle of translating! Please check out her tumblr eleven-xi – she posts frequent song translations and is open to requests (=^▽^=)
As the aftertrack of “Yume Hanabi”, “Kyoka Suigetsu” draws a heartbreaking conclusion to the romance. Not only are chord progressions & themes reused to connect the two songs, but the lyrics are filled with references to the prequel. “Kyoka Suigetsu” is one of my favorite tracks in the album because of this, and I hope everyone can appreciate both its melodic and lyrical beauty as well!
Hi!! Tho i would love to buy soramafu album but some of us aren't really financially able to buy this album and wondering if someone would be willing to provide us to listen?( ; ;) thank you
Unfortunately, I’m not able to provide you with their album. (シ_ _)シ I’m sorry I’m not able to help you.
Although this is not the best way to get their album, you can probably find it online once enough time has passed!
I worked on a summary to answer this but I went overboard and it turned into a really long analysis essay (〃´ﾉω`〃). So, I’ll put it under a read more. Please read it if you are interested.
original lyrics + english translation: [link]
I analyzed it part by part, so please read it like a story. I tried to keep my own assumptions/speculations (without proof from the lyrics) out of the analysis or inside brackets, [like this]. Also, this analysis is not perfect, so I apologize in advance if you disagree with any parts of it.
Like the lyrics, but this time it mentions murder and suicide, please view with discretion.
I think Tenbatsu is about a person who has committed a crime (killed someone), thus the title “Tenbatsu” or “Divine Punishment,” when he [used “he” because soraru is the singer] was a child, who didn’t know anything about the world.
There were a lot of speculations about who did it and the public treated it like a show. The narrator doesn’t know “who was named” as the suspect in the end, but everyone called the crime an act of love (“called it love in its entirety”/その全部を愛と呼ぶ).The narrator doesn’t understand why he is being paranoid (“checking the crumbling foothold”/崩れた足場を確かめて) and where he is going by hiding his name (“hide your (my)* name”/自分の名前すら隠して). He wants to go back and saw a dream of returning back in the time to the days with the person he refers to as “you,” but, like every dream, it ended. Here, it suggests the victim is most likely the person referred to as “you.” [I’m going to refer to them as “you” since I’m not sure if they are friends, lovers, etc]The flowers part most likely symbolizes the narrator and “you”’s relationship, with the blue flower being the narrator and the red flower as “you.”
If you give the red flower water, the blue flower will be angry If you give the blue flower water, the red flower will wither
The part that starts with “Clap your hands if you agree” basically suggests that “you” tried to face and reason with the narrator (“facing the blade”/刃向う), but the narrator didn’t listen and told “you” to go away (”get lost already”/どこか行け).The narrator had pretended to like this world, but he actually hated it (”trash-like every day like this”/ こんなゴミのような毎日, “I hate it I only pretended to like it“/嫌いだよ 好きなフリしただけ).
Throw away that ideal someone drewfor someone else’s sake
The above suggest that the narrator might be throwing away his own He believes that he [and maybe even everyone] is a replacement for someone else and he tried ended his own life since the future awaiting him wasn’t the one that he had admired.
今は憧れていた未来もないNow, the future that I admired is no longer here
The stanza that started with “With a similar face as me, you wore a costume” suggest how the narrator and “you” had dressed up [most likely as heroes] and pretended to be acting for justice. Whatever happened, the narrator despised it and believes everyone, somehow or another, helped him in the crime or caused him to murder someone (“everyone is an accomplice”/みんな共犯者だぞ), but he narrator isn’t going to run away anymore.
今更逃げ出すようなつもりじゃないよねIt’s not my intention to run away after all this time
“Surely, it was too colorful to be inside a dream forever” probably means that he was going to end this “dream”. He rather stay as a child forever than be an adult. [How you interpret that depends on you ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ ] The narrator stopped dancing [like a marionette] and he properly faced himself [as a killer]. The applause had stopped and the ‘show’ was over.ほら それでも愛せるの?See, even so, would you still love me?
Eleven-xi-san!!! thank you sO MUCH for taking my request! :D <3 (Now I can happily sing along to it heHEH) Could I make some more requests? (If you're too busy, it's fine. I don't mind waiting long/ if you turn my request down :)) I actually have a lot I want translated actually ahaha //hides If you could, could you translate 'Eimin Douwa' (Soraru's version is so gooddd), Buokyaku no Cuore, Septet Minus a Fear and Last Leaf? Thank you! xoxo
No worries, leave it to me .*:ﾟ・任せて（｀・ω・´）ゝ・ﾟ:*.
I’m already partially done with Eimin Douwa (someone else requested it earlier!) It might take me a while to finish all four of them since I have a lot of work piled up, but please look forward to them!
Sorry for the delay! As requested by dapastamastah, here’s Tenbatsu from Soraru’s album, Yuutamari no Shiori (ﾉ)・ω・(ヾ)! I just realized matchakame has already translated this. Please see her translation in the link below:

English Translation
Although I still didn’t know anything, I had killed someone
You proudly talked about things that was whatever the truth is
Speculations flying about and a unmerited excessive applause
I don’t know who was named, called it love in it’s entirety
Checking the crumbling foothold
as if you were (I was)* the only one that survived
Where are you (am I)* going by even hiding your (my)* own name?
Let me stop right away after all if it’s a world like this
Who is the one whispering in the mirror?
Let’s go back? To somewhere faraway
Pretending to not know anything,
I only saw a dream of returning to that day with you
If no one wishes for anything, then I won’t wish for anything
and then, let’s say good-bye to each other
and wake up from this dream
If you give the red flower water, the blue flower will be angry
If you give the blue flower water, the red flower will wither
Speculations flying about and a unmerited excessive applause
with trash-like every day like this, called it love in it’s entirety
Clap your hands if you agree
If you are facing the blade, get lost already
In the middle of a narrow box singing a song, what do you want to do?
That’s right I understand now after all it’s a world like this, right?
I hate it I only pretended to like it
Throw away that ideal someone drew
for someone else’s sake
Surely, you are someone else’s replacement too
Strangling your (my)* own neck, it is a little painful after all
Now, the future that I admired is no longer here
With a similar face as me, you wore a costume
only taking in the good things
That sort of us put on the face of justice
where in that where in this
where in love can it be found?
I absolutely despise it
While feigning ignorance, you’ve noticed it right?
That’s right, whoever it is, everybody, everyone is an accomplice
It’s not my intention to run away after all this time
Surely, it was too colorful
to be inside a dream forever
Let’s go back? To somewhere faraway
Pretending to not know anything,
I only saw a dream of returning to that day with you
If I have to become a filthy adult, then i rather always stay as a child
You (I)* had danced here, but now face yourself (myself)* there’s no more applause
See, even so, would you still love me?

* Throughout the song, the narrator/singer refers to someone as “自分,” which means “yourself,” “myself,” “himself,” etc. I interpreted these parts as the narrator talking to himself as if he was another person and referring himself as ‘you,’ but it still makes sense with ‘I.’ So, the words in the brackets are another way to interpret the kanji lyrics.
Do you know where can I listen to Soraru's and Mafumafu's new album? (Pre-rhythm Arch) Thank you! (・ω・)ノ
I recommend buying it to show soraru and mafumafu your support (・ω・ )9!
You can purchase their album on cdjapan [http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEODAI-9224] if you don’t mind the high service fee or on iTunes [https://itunes.apple.com/jp/album/purerizumuachi/id1029362559].
matchakame provided a helpful way to buy it with a Japanese iTunes card here: [http://matchakame.tumblr.com/post/127111524983/i-tried-making-my-own-japanese-account-and-was]
Mafumafu sang Teller Storyteller? Could I have the link to that, please? Also, could you please translate Soraru's 'Tenbatsu'? Thank you! xoxo
Ahhhhh I’m sorry, that was a typo (,,꒪꒫꒪,,) (I’ve already fixed it in the original post) but Teller storyteller is really nice song, so I wish Mafumafu had covered it!
Tenbatsu was one of my favorite songs from Soraru’s album (then again, I like the whole album (´ω｀*) ) Please look forward to the translation!
