Futairo Dansu Makaaburu (Two-Colored Dance Macabre) - Krik/Krak Translation

「物語音楽」の考察・感想ブログです。今のところSoundHorizon(サウンドホライズン、サンホラ)とKrik/Krak(クリッククラック、クリクラ)について。

Koukai no Kubiki. Netherliese wa osoreteru. Namae sae ushinatta bourei ni, sekai wa koeraremasu ka? Regret’s Yoke. Netherliese is afraid. Can a ghost who has even lost its name cross the world? (Nightingale, CV: Chikako Torishima)

Rekodo wo tadorinagara, kanojotachi wa ima ido wo kakeagatte kite iru. Saigo no katarushisu ni taerareru ka inaka, subete wa hontachi shidai da. Hajimaru zo. As they follow the records, they are now climbing up the well. Whether they can withstand the final catharsis or not depends entirely on them. It’s beginning. (Ido, CV: Eiji Mayuki)

Aa, douka kono te wo itsumademo hanasazu iyou ne… Ah, please, let’s never let go of each other’s hands…

♦︎ Doro ni mamireta houtai gaaze wo suteta. ♦︎ They discarded the mud-covered bandages.

Mou kakusenai. They can’t hide it anymore.

Dake na no ni doushite? But why?

Kowasanaide… Don’t break it…

"Akai me no majo" = wa "kiken bunshi teki da" = mo mata "majo wo kabau mono." The “Red-Eyed Witch” = is a “dangerous enemy” = and also “someone who protects the witch.”

Meikai naru toushiki ni michibikare, dare mo ga tayasuku buki wo toru. Everyone easily takes up weapons, led by this clear equation.

Dogou to himei, toki to tomo ni tsuyoku naru honoo to bouryoku rinchi no nioi. The roar and screams, the smell of flames and violence grow stronger with time.

Ishidatami wo nagareru mo, kusayabu ni magireru mo sono iro wa onaji. Whether flowing on cobblestones or hidden in the grass, the color is the same.

Mizukara no uchi wo mo nagareru sono aka ni, naze ayamachi wo satore nai… Why can’t they realize the mistake, seeing their own red blood…

Unmei no megami no namida hitotsubu, moroku mo kuzureru suna no shiro. One tear from the goddess of fate, and the sandcastle crumbles.

Satouei ni muragaru ari yo, saki no mono ni tsudzuke mayowazu ni. Ants swarm the sugar coat without hesitation, following those ahead.

Kyouen ni yoishireyo, nigai kusuri ga dete kuru made wa… Indulge in the feast until the bitter medicine appears…

…Bakushinchi Ground Zero wo mezashi, kuruoshiku mawaritsuzukeru gekkou rekodo… …The moonlit record spins madly, aiming for Ground Zero… (NA: Chikako Torishima)

Demo hosoi michi wo But if you follow the narrow path,

Tadoreba nukedaseru hazu… You should be able to escape…

❤︎ Watashi no naka de warai koe ga sasayaku no… ❤︎ Inside me, a laughing voice whispers…

"Neede! Chi ga deteru yo! Nee, sakki no hitotachi nan na no!? Nande minna watashitachi wo osotte kuru no!?" "Neede! You're bleeding! Hey, who were those people earlier!? Why is everyone attacking us!?" (Angelica, CV: Akuru Amagi)

"Majo kari ga hatsurei sareta no! Koko ni itara korosareru, watashi mo, anata mo!" "A witch hunt has been declared! If we stay here, we'll be killed, both you and me!" (Netherliese, CV: Erumo Minase)

"Doushite!? Neede wa nani mo warui koto shite nai, watashi datte…!" "Why!? You haven’t done anything wrong, Neede, and neither have I…!"

"Dare mo warukunakutemo, mou dame na no! Sekai wa kurutte shimatta no yo! Koko ni icha dame! "Even if no one did anything wrong, it's no use! The world has gone mad! We can't stay here!

Higashi e susunde kokkyou wo koeru… mazu wa, kono mori wo nukereba, nantoka… Move east, cross the border… first, we need to get through this forest…

Sukima naku oou Covering every inch,

You ni Like

Dake na no ni doushite? But why?

Kowarete yuku… It’s falling apart…

♦︎ Aa, douka kono te wo itsumademo hanasazu iyou ne… ♦︎ Ah, please, let’s never let go of each other’s hands…

Utsuro ni hibiku yakusoku no kotoba… The hollow words of a promise echo…

Monowananu shikabane to kashita akagami no musume The red-haired girl turned into a silent corpse

Katarani taore fusu kurogami no musume And the black-haired girl collapses beside her

Kinka ga mata fueta to dareka ga kuchibue wo fuku Someone whistles as another coin is added

Mada dare mo kidzukanai hikari wo ushinatta hazu no No one notices yet, but from the eye that should have lost its light

Migime kara, nijimidasu chi ga hirogaru you ni, Blood seeps from the right eye, spreading,

Akai kagayaki ga hidarime sae mo nurikaete yuku The red glow paints even the left eye,

Tenbin wa katamuita kore yori sekai wa sabaki wo ukeru The scales have tipped, from now on the world will face judgment

Mitsukai Anjerika no sabaki wo… The judgment of the angel, Angelica… (NA: Chikako Torishima)

The Rhapsody Sleeping in the Death City of Zanael / -LostFairy-

I guess this is my first post ever on this blog,so I start with -LostFairy-,since I've discover doujin music through lostfairy.

So this one is a new album, 死都ザナエルに眠る狂詩篇 (Shito Zanaeru ni Nemuru Kyoushihen).As you can see there are an illustration of a girl. Her name is Priscilla, she is a necromancer.

Once, the fortress city of Zanael stood proudly in all its glory. However, a devastating plague swept through its walls, leading to its ruin. The city, now a cursed land, is haunted by the restless dead. Sealed by the prayers of priests, Zanael has become a place where no living being can enter. Amidst this desolation, a delicate girl named Priscilla appears. Her innocent visage belies the dark power she wields, for she is a witch cloaked in the force of death. The people whisper her name with fear and reverence, calling her a necromancer. Her power, a dreadful force that disrupts the balance between life and death, causes souls to gather in the cold wind, faintly remembering their end. In this forsaken land, Priscilla seeks the truth behind the decay and the mystery buried within Zanael. She walks the cursed grounds, murmuring spells, offering her hand to those lost souls in search of salvation. Despite her efforts, the land is endlessly manipulated by an abominable force, and the dead continue to wander, weaving tales of their pride and sorrow. In the depths of darkness, these lost souls seek light but find no solace. Their cries of anguish echo through the blood-bound illusions they are trapped in. As they follow the remnants of their memories, the words of the living are engraved in their minds: Memento mori—remember that you must die. Priscilla, too, seeks light within this darkness. She offers a helping hand, hoping to grant the final wish of these tormented souls. The tragedy that led them to this state remains unknown, a hidden truth buried with the dead. The eternal sleep they yearn for is a prayer offered to those returning to the earth. Despite countless repetitions of unwanted tragedies, salvation never reaches the dead. Under the hollow white sky, they surrender to their fantasies, playing their final songs. In this colorless, cold landscape, Priscilla stands, unaware of the illusions that surround her. She prays under an unknown sky, tracing the memories of souls long gone. As the end approaches, the wandering remnants are enveloped in a gentle light. Priscilla offers artificial flowers and prayers, guiding these lost dreams towards a world yet unseen. She weaves her words quietly, leading the lost ones through their fragile memories, preparing for the next story that awaits them. With the wind's gentle sway and the petals rising, Priscilla continues her solemn task. She dedicates artificial flowers and prayers to the distant, unseen world, etching eternal thoughts into the fabric of existence.

There's only two actual songs in this album,Memento mori and 誰が為のレクイエム / Dare ga Tame no Rekuiemu (For Whom This Requiem Is),so below is the lyrics.Until next time,peace.
