Hey ! I'm Lyrhe. I like music and translating stuff (among other things). So that's what I'll be doing here. Also, I can take requests ? I listen to lots of different things, so just send me whatever you want, everything's fine.

Forever ? Forever ? Good things don't need to come to an end Welcome to your very own cradle ! Notes: - New opening song for Caligula Overdose. Sung by four members of the Ostinato Musicians: Mirei, Sweet-P, Thorn and Kuchinashi. - This song is about inviting people from the real life to join Moebius, where they will finally find happiness. The first part is the Musicians giving their reasons for joining Moebius. - This song is very interesting. First, this is one of the only two songs in Caligula that is not sung by µ. The Ostinato Musicians use µ to give a voice to their feelings, but this time it's reversed. They're giving their own voices to convey µ's feelings, to make people come to Moebius, which I find fascinating, since the basis of the Ostinato-µ relationship of "they write-she sings" seems set in stone.  - Then you have the last part. During the song, it's pretty clear that the Musicians are speaking directly to the people listening, inviting them to join Moebius, but that last part (I'm refering to the "never wake us up" line) is a little ambiguous. The whole song went from an obivous invitation/propaganda to the Musicians begging for their new and happy lives. Or at least that's how I interpreted it.

Hey, thank your for uploading this. I tried contacting you on the wiki. I translated the chapter, and a friend of mine is currently taking care of the cleaning/typesetting. I’d like to discuss something with you if you’re okay.

Song : Additional Memory Singer : Hatsune Miku Composer: Jin aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa- Friend sent me this song a couple hour ago. I love Kagero Project, and Ayano’s always been my favorite character from the series, and her relationship with Shintaro (a very relatable character) always kind of hit me right in the feels. Lost Time Memory is still one of my favorite songs ever, and I’m glad to see that I’m still moved by Jin and his songs about those two. Anyway: Kanji: 浮かんで　転げ落ちて出会ったエンドロール 歪んで　変わり果てた未来の走馬灯 もうお終いね　幕の切れてしまった白昼夢は ただただ　虚しさ達を暈してみせた 思い出してしまう 夕焼ける空　滲むメロディ 「帰ろう、道を間違わないように」 臆病になって　ギュッと繋いだ手を宙に向けて 抱いてしまう　願ってしまう　贅沢な走馬灯 夕凪の向こうに　恋を認したためて緋を灯す 過ぎ去っていく　腐っていく　融かした本音は 存在証明を拒んでしまったストーリー 「また明日」なんてさ　言いたくなかったな 拭えない涙も　言葉も　嘘　嘘 友達なんかに　なりたくなかったな きっと届かないよな　ごめんね、大好きだよ これが勘違いなら　知りたくなかったな 溢れ出す涙が　空に吸い込まれる もう戻れないのに　もう帰れないのに 今更、疼くんだよ　逆様になったまま 落ちていく　悟っていく　散っていった走馬灯 夕映えの向こう　想いを染め上げた　後悔の詩 消さないでいて　覚えていて　遺した本音は 「幸せ」を拒んでしまったストーリー 友達なんかで　終わりたくなかったな 届かない涙が　空に吸い込まれる これが勘違いでも　これが勘違いでも ずっと言いたかったの さよなら、大好きだよ Romaji: Ukande korogeochite deatta endorooru Yugande kawari hateta mirai no soumatou Mou oshimai ne maku no kireteshimatta hakuchuumu wa Tadatada munashisatachi o bokashitemiseta Omoidashiteshimau Yuuyakeru sora nijimu merodii “Kaerou, michi o machigawanai you ni” Okubyou ni natte gyutto tsunaida te o chuu ni mukete Daiteshimau negatteshimau zeitaku na soumatou Yuunagi no mukou ni koi o shitatamete hi o tomosu Sugisatteiku kusatteiku tokashita honne wa Sonzai shoumei o kobandeshimatta sutoorii “Mata ashita” nante sa iitakunakatta na Nuguenai namida mo kotoba mo uso uso Tomodachi nanka ni naritakunakatta na Kitto todokanai yo na gomen ne, daisuki da yo Kore ga kanchigai nara shiritakunakatta na Afuredasu namida ga sora ni suikomareru Mou modorenai no ni mou kaerenai no ni Ima sara, uzukunda yo sakasama ni natta mama Ochiteiku satotteiku chitteitta soumatou Yuubae no mukou omoi o someageta koukai no uta Kesanaideite oboeteite nokoshita honne wa “Shiawase” wo kobandeshimatta sutoorii Tomodachi nanka de owaritakunakatta na Todokanai namida ga sora ni suikomareru Kore ga kanchigai demo kore ga kanchigai demo Zutto iitakatta no Sayonara, daisuki da yo English: Floating, I tumbled down and met the credits roll Distorted, the visions of my future changed completely It's already over, right ? The curtains have fallen on my daydream That was only trying to hide away my emptiness It makes me remember The sunset sky, the blurring melody "Let's go straight home, so we don't take the wrong path." But you got scared, and my hand only grasped air. I end up thinking, I end up wishing, for luxurious visions Beyond the evening calm, the scarlet of my eyes confesses my love. My true feelings, passing by, rotting away, melt into nothingness A story that denied me “the proof of my existence” I never wanted to say things like "See you tomorrow!" My tears that can't be wiped off, my words, they're lies, all lies. I never wanted to become your “friend”. I know it will never reach you, I'm sorry, I love you. If it was just a misunderstanding, I wish I’d never known about it.  My overflowing tears leak into the sky Even though I can't return, even though I can't come back Now, I'm hurting, and I'm still hanging upside down. I'm falling, I'm realizing, those visions have been scattered to the wind Beyond the sunset glow, this song of regret swallowed my feelings. Don't let them disappear, remember them, the true feelings I've left you. A story that denied me "happiness". I didn't want to stop at being friends. My tears that won't reach you leak into the sky. Even if it was just a misunderstanding, even if it was just a misunderstanding I've always wanted to say Goodbye, I love you. Notes: - Latest and 16th song from Kagero Project. Kagero Project is a vocaloid song series that is now about 6 years old. The story revolves around a small group of teenagers with weird eye powers called Mekakushidan (Blindfold gang). There was an anime 3 or 4 years ago, but to be honest, it wasn’t that good. The animation was really bad considering Shaft was in charge. - The song is about Ayano Tateyama, a girl who killed herself at some point by jumping from a roof, for reasons I won’t spoil here. The song seems to be about how she met her end, and the regrets that accompany her even in the afterlife. - The “visions” are written as 走馬灯 (soumatou). It means “revolving lantern”, and it looks like this. It’s sometimes used as a metaphor for how your life is supposed to flash before your eyes when you die. - “The scarlet of my eyes confess my love.” doesn’t actually talk about eyes in the japanese version, but it seemed obvious enough, considering what we know from the other songs. - Lost Time Memory is still my favorite song from the series, but Additional Memory is a really close second. I’m not surprised, considering how much they’re related.

Song : Cosmo Dancer Singer : Reina Ueda Composer: YM Kanji: 感情表現の強制パレード 本日のあたしはコレよ みんなで手と手を合わせ 戦い抗いましょう　ハッ（笑） 笑えるね　 こんなの宇宙の塵に過ぎない 小さな粒が踊る埃みたいに舞い 散れ　消えて見えなくなるまでほら　 争えばいいじゃん あなたたちの踊る舞台は あたしの…… 心の操り人形 貴方の思うがままよ 抑えられない欲望 あたしを楽しませて 終われない夢なら いっそ全てを壊しましょ くだらない世界は 要らない　それがあたしの夢 ほら　いつものやつを見せてよ 美しい絆を反吐が出るほどに下らないと あたしが教えたげるわ さあ　望むがままに踊るのよ あたしの手の中で この最高の舞台に 誰もが心を奪われるはずよ さあ　世界の寿命が尽きるわ その時が来る前に この宇宙の片隅で起こる 悲劇を観ていて Romaji: Kanjou hyougen no kyousei paredo Honjitsu no atashi wa kore yo Minna de te to te o awase Tatakai aragaimashou ha (laugh) Waraeru ne konna no Uchuu no chiri ni suginai Chiisana tsubu ga odoru Hokori mitai ni mai Chire kiete mienaku naru made Hora arasoebaii jyan Anatatachi no odoru butai wa Atashi no… Kokoro no ayatsuri ningyo Anata no omou ga mama yo Osaerarenai yokubou Atashi o tanoshimasete Owarenai yume nara Isso subete o kowashimasho Kudaranai sekai wa Iranai sore ga atashi no yume Hora itsumono yatsu o misete yo Utsukuii kizuna o Hedo ga deru hodo ni kudaranai to  Atashi ga oshiete ageru wa Saa nozomu ga mama ni odoru no yo Atashi no te no naka de Kono saikou no butai ni dare mo ga Kokoro o ubawareru hazu yo Saa sekai no jumyou ga tsukiru wa Sono toki ga kuru mae ni Kono uchuu no katasumi de okoru Higeki o miteite Translation: A forced parade of facial expressions This is what I am today Everyone join their hand “No fighting”, ha (lol) That’s ridiculous It’s just space dirt Small dancing particles Like a dance of dust Scatter, disappear, out of my sight ! Hey, look, you’re fighting now! Your dancing stage is mine… Heart-controlled puppets Just do as you please You can’t go against your desires Entertain me! If this dream is unending Might as well destroy everything I don’t need this boring world This is my dream! Hey, show me the usual Those magnificient bonds It’s so boring it makes me puke I’ll teach you! Hey, dance as much as you want In the palm of my hand This is the best stage, Where noone will ever steal your heart Hey, this is as far as this world goes Before its time comes In this corner of space Watch the unfolding of this tragedy Notes: - I took the liberty of linking the anime arrange version rather than the one from the game. They’re both amazing, it’s just that I’m listening to the anime one at the time I’m posting this.  - I think Reina Ueda really did a great job with this song. Well, she obviously did a great job with all those songs, but this one gets stuck in my head more than the others, and I cannot find any other reason than the vocals being amazing - more than the rest (except Distorted Happiness, let’s get real this song is a masterpiece.) - Can’t really talk about this song without spoiling stuff so I’ll leave it at that for now.

Song : a wonderful days -rebirth- Singer : らいむ(ﾟﾛﾟ)。 Composer:  EiK Album : 07-20-2012-1999 Circle : Jabberwock Sounds  Kanji: 目覚めを縛る理想郷 絡み付いた脈動の果て 痛む その傷痕は同じ声 解らない 霞んでゆく君に馳せてばかり 持て余した夕暮れの羽根 容易い愛撫 濡れた頬が世界 望まれず嘘を沈めて 忘れてゆく 穏やかな思い すべて還る 抱きしめて もう離さないで 淡く揺れる蜃気楼 願いは今 誰もいない 堕ちゆく空の憂鬱 だけどきっと駆け出す夢 信じ合えた罪と罰 刹那の一秒前にサヨナラを… 巡り合えた 逆巻く時間 繋がれた 未完成 騙し合って 奪い合って それでも響く此の胸 だからそっと 触れた涙 祈る月に照らされて 儚く詠う未来は遥か遠く… 抱きしめて もう離さないで 淡く揺れる蜃気楼 願いは今 誰もいない 堕ちゆく空の憂鬱 だけどきっと 駆け出す夢 信じ合えた罪と罰 刹那の一秒前にサヨナラを… Romaji: Mezame o shibaru risoukyou Karamitsuita myakudou no hate itamu Sono kizuato wa onaji koe wakaranai Kasundeyuku kimi ni hasete bakari Moteamashita yuugure no hane Youi aibu nureta hoo ga sekai Nozomarezu uso o shizumete wasureteyuku yuruyaka na omoi subete kaeru Dakishimete mou hanasanaide Awaku yureru shinkirou Negai wa ima dare mo inai Ochiteyuku sora no yuutsuu Dakedo kitto kakedasu yume Shinjiaeta tsumi to batsu Setsuna no ichibyou mae ni sayonara o Meguriaeta sakamaku jikan[toki] Tsunagereta mikansei Damashiatte ubaiatte Sore demo hibiku kono no mune Dakara sotto fureta namida Inoru tsuki teraserete Hakanaku utau mirai[asu] wa haruka tooku Dakishimete mou hanasanaide Awaku yureru shinkirou Negai ima dare mo inai Ochiteyuku sora no yuutsuu Dakedo kitto kakedasu yume Shinjiaeta tsumi to batsu Setsuna no ichibyou mae ni sayonara o Translation: I can't take my eyes off that utopia The end of our intertwining pulsations- it hurts This scar is like that voice, I can't understand I'm always running after a blurred you The wings of a superfluous sunset A light touch, your wet cheeks are the world The lie I didn't wish for is sinking, abandoned My gentle feelings, I'll return them all Embrace me, and never let me go A mirage slightly shaking My wish is, noone's there now The depression of a falling sky But as always, I’m dreaming of running away The crime and pushinment of trusting in each other Let's say goodbye just before that one second Coming across the reversed flow of time Linked incompletion Deceiving each other, fighting each other Yet, this chest of mine is resounding

So, those tears you gently touched Are illuminated by the praying moon The fleeting song of tomorrow is far, far away Embrace me, and never let me go A mirage slightly shaking My wish is, noone's there now The depression of a falling sky But as always, I’m dreaming of running away The crime and pushinment of trusting in each other Let's say goodbye just before that one second Notes: - This song comes from a tribute album to Subarashiki Hibi ~Furenzoku Sonzai~ (translated as Wonderful Everyday Down the Rabbit-Hole in the west). It’s available for free here.  小さな旋律 and Smile of the end are my favorite tracks of this album (along with this one obviously). - There's a Miku cover of this song, which does sound quite good, but I like  らいむ(ﾟﾛﾟ)’s voice better.

Song : 右に曲ガール - Girlving to the right Singer : Kasane Teto Composer : Harufuri

Kanji: 前に倣って歩くだけ 泳ぎ出すのは暗がりの眼 側に座って笑うだけ 相槌を打つだけなら達人 声に弥立って黙るだけ 鼓膜と両の膝が震えてる 土に潜って観てるだけ スタンディングオベーション怖いな

したい、したい！したいのになぁ したい、したい！混ぜてくれよ したい、したい！したいのに何にもない 酩酊 ダラステイラ・ダラステイ 空に呑み込まれては泣いてる ダラステイラ・ダラステイ そこに自己は無いのさ 泥酔 ダラステイラ・ダラステイ 誰もが左を指差しても ダラステイラ・ダラステイ いつもその少女は右に曲ガール 夢に向かって歩くだけ 溺れ出すのはまた別の話 其を嘲って笑うだけ 殻の中から放たれたる槍 喉が詰まって黙るだけ 息も出来ない位に真空 沼に嵌まって観てるだけ 希望の射す光が眩しいな 痛い、痛い！痛いのになぁ 痛い、痛い！涙が出ちゃう 痛い、痛い！痛いのに何でもない 酩酊 ダラステイラ・ダラステイ 海に呑み込まれては浮いてる ダラステイラ・ダラステイ そこに意志は無いのさ 泥酔 ダラステイラ・ダラステイ 誰もが左を指差しても ダラステイラ・ダラステイ いつもその少女は右に曲ガール 酩酊 ダラステイラ・ダラステイ 空に呑み込まれては泣いてる ダラステイラ・ダラステイ そこに君はいないのさ 泥酔 ダラステイラ・ダラステイ 誰もが後ろ指を差しても ダラステイラ・ダラステイ いつもその少女は右に曲ガール Romaji: Mae ni naratte aruku dake Oyogidasu no wa kuragari no manako Soba ni suwatte warau dake Aiduchi o utsu dake nara tatsujin Koe ni yodatte damaru dake Komaku to ryou no hiza ga furueteru Tsuchi ni mogutte miteru dake Sutandingu obeeshon kowai na Shitai shitai! shitai no ni naa Shitai shitai! mazetekure yo Shitai shitai! shitai no ni nani mo nai Meitei Darasuteira, darasutei Sora ni nomikomarete wa naiteru Darasuteira, darasutei Soko ni jiko wa naino sa Deisui Darasuteira, darasutei Dare mo ga hidari o yubisashitemo Darasuteira, darasutei Itsumo sono shojo wa migi ni magaaru Yume ni mukatte aruku dake Oboredasu no wa mata betsu no hanashi So o azakette warau dake Kara no naka kara hanataretaru yari Nodo ga tsumatte damaru dake Iki mo deiknai kurai ni shinkuu Numa ni hamatte miteru dake Kibou no sasu hikari ga mabushii na Itai, itai! itai no ni naa Itai, itai! namida ga dechau Itai, itai! itai no ni nandemonai Meitei Darasuteira-darasutei Umi ni nomakomarete wa yuiteru Darasuteira-darasutei Soko ni ishi wa nai no sa Deisui Darasuteira-darasutei Dare mo ga hidari o yubisashitemo Darasuteira-darasutei Itsumo sono shoujo wa ni magaaru Meitei Darasuteira-darasutei Sora ni nomikomarete wa naiteru Darasuteira-darasutei Soko ni kimi wa inai no sa Deisui Darasuteira-darasutei Dare mo ga ushiroyubi o sashite mo Darasuteira-darasutei Itsumo sono shoujo wa migi ni magaaru English: I’m just walking, following someone in front of me My eyes drowning in the dark I’m just laughing, sitting on the sidelines If it's just small talk, I'm an expert I’m just being quiet, my voice getting stuck My eardrums and knees are shivering I’m just watching, hiding in the ground below Standing ovations are scary, aren't they? I want to, I want to! Even though I want to.. I want to, I want to! let me mix it up I want to, I want to! Even though I want to, nothing happens Feeling tipsy Darasuteira, darasutei Swallowed by the sky, I’m crying Darasuteira, darasutei There's no "self" here Dead drunk Darasuteira, darasutei Even if everyone is pointing to the left Darasuteira, darasutei This girl is always girlving to the right I’m just walking, following my dreams Drowning is a whole different story I’m just laughing, making fun of people A spear coming out of the shell I’m just being silent, my throat tightened I can't breathe inside that vacuum I’m just watching, jumping in the swamp The light of hope is bright, isn't it? It hurts, it hurts! Even though it hurts.. It hurts, it hurts! Tears are falling It hurts, it hurts! Even though it hurts, it's nothing Drunkenness Darasuteira, darasutei Swallowed by the see, I’m floating Darasuteira, darasutei There's no "will" here Dead drunk Darasuteira, darasutei Even if everyone is pointing to the left Darasuteira, darasutei This girl is always girlving to the right Drunkenness Darasuteira, darasutei Swallowed by the sky, I’m crying Darasuteira, darasutei There's no "you" here Dead drunk Darasuteira, darasutei Even if everyone turns away Darasuteira, darasutei This girl is always girlving to the right Notes: - “Darasuteira, darasutei”, as far as I can tell, doesn’t mean anything. I guess it’s just to go along with the rythm. - It feels like the “itai, itai” and the “shitai, shitai” parts have a sexual meaning, especially with the “mazetekure yo” which could mean “let me mix up” or something along the lines. - The「誰もが後ろ指を差しても」at the end (translated here as “even if everyone turns away”) can also mean “even if everyone’s badmouthing her/speaking behind her back”.

In a blink of an eye, a girl falls down Accelerating memories are like burst open pomegranates My vanishing guilt The black cat laughs at the rusted fruit Chewing, stabbing, his big ears At the sunset, the black cat laughs at the girl’s toy.

It’s red… My back is like A shattered red glass orb

I’m falling, wrapped in happiness Free from despair The red sun is sparkling Waste glass, black ears Black paws, melody and prayers Embraced by the black cat, then smashed Forsaken gravestones, corpses turning into angels

Notes:

- The ED of the 3rd (I believe ?) route of Subarashiki Hibi, a great visual novel.  - Possibly one of my favorite song of all time. I really love szak’s guitar.  - I actually tried to “translate” it a couple years ago when I didn’t know jack about the game or japanese. Needless to say, it was a complete failure.  - There’s a fan translation of the game it’s from.  GUESS THE GAME IS ON STEAM I DIDN’T KNOW WHAT A TIME TO BE ALIVE So, I’m currently reading Subahibi one more time, now that the game’s available on Steam, and I may have more insight. I’m going to spoil the game hard, so skip that part if need be. - The black cat may be a metaphor for Megu and Satoko, the two girl bullying Zakuro. The day after Zakuro’s drugged and forced to masturbate in front of camera (among other stuff), she goes back to school, and come across her bullies. Things happen, Zakuro snaps, and she starts picturing them as two black beasts, with “massive ears” and “blackened paws”, “tearing into the fruit”. - The part about memories and pomegranate is obviously referring to Zakuro’s suicide. “Zakuro” is japanese for “pomegranate”. Which makes even more sense, considering the cat is said to be “tearing into the fruit” - “Disappearing guilt” is also from the game, but it’s in the Kimika route of Looking-glass Insects (*). Kimika was a girl bullied by Megu and Satoko (and the rest of the class too) before Zakuro came. Zakuro, being naive and nice and stuff, tried to be friends with Kimika, and got ostracized too as a result. Kimika felt guilty about it (among other things), and tried her best to push Zakuro away, to stop her from being targeted by Megu and Satoko, which would make her “guilt disappear”. I don’t know how it works here since they never have that conversation in the route where Zakuro’s suicide happen, but eh.  - I have absolutely no idea what “toy” is referring to. Maybe it’s about the dolls Zakuro is dropping from the roof ? Maybe it’s about the little strap Kimika gave her ? Maybe it’s something else entirely.  - The part between 「 」 is probably about the state of Zakuro’s body after jumping ?  - The last part is pretty straightforward. The “corpses turning into angels” is probably about how Zakuro and her friends are supposed to get their angel powers back through a near-death experience. Well, we know how it turned out. * “Looking-glass Insects” is the third part of Subahibi, where we see the events of the first weeks of July through Zakuro POV. At some point, you can choose to either help Kimika stand up against Megu and Satoko, or just leave her. The former choice brings you to Kimika route, where she’ll talk about her feelings of guilt, and where everything ends “well”. The bullies are gone, and Zakuro and Kimika get their happy ending. The latter brings you to the true end of the chapter. Zakuro commits suicide, just like in the previous chapters.

Now with more notes since I recently went through the hell that is Looking-glass Insects one more time ;_;

I’m drowning in a world I can't change Open your eyes Sinking shadow, no matter when, this is reality What is freedom ? The pain you gave me Alone, I hoped it might be love Erase me I don't need any schadenfreude I'm tired of all these forced dramatics Seeking beauty in discord How long can I say absurd things like "It can't be helped" ? How many times do I have to give up to be satisfied ? Ridiculous. Even broken, I'll keep on living, a disappointing endroll No matter how many times my heart is torn apart, I'll keep going Because my body gets rusty for every breath that I take I'm falling apart, I can just accept it and fight" His expression doesn't change a bit in this elegy In the night, he starts to breathe Notes: - This is the opening for Tokyo Ghoul:re. I don’t know which one I prefer, this one or Unravel from the first season, both are really great.  - “Schadenfreude” is a really cool german word that means “Taking pleasure in others suffering”.  - The last “Hyoujou” is pronunced as “Kao”, which means face.

Hey' about the song Shuumatsu no Bishou, do you have an idea about its meaning? besides it being about zakuro's suicide. Things like the black cat puzzled me a bit. I thought that since you translated it you might have had the time to think about it for a bit.

Hey ! Sorry I didn’t get back at you earlier, I didn’t get a notification for your question, so I completely missed it.Anyway, I have no clue about the black cat, sorry. I have no idea what it’s supposed to represent in the context of Subahibi. I’ve been listening to this song for years (Almost 6, when I heard about the game, and the translation project was underway… Damn, I’m getting old), and I still can’t wrap my head around everything.Sorry :( If you ever find something interesting about it, please PM me, I’d be happy to read your ideas.

New PV for the Caligula anime :D Was too busy to notice it earlier ehh. I’m not watching as much anime as I used to back in high school, Caligula is basically the only anime I was interested in recently with the Dies Irae adaptation (which was, eh, disappointing ?), and it looks pretty gud.  Fun fact: The two last white screen with black text say: “I’ll crush your ideals, and return to the reality”, which is nice and all, except that “ideals” and “reality” have little furigina on top of them that respectively mean “you” and “hell”. “I’ll crush you, and return to that hell”  They really love that kind of stuff, don’t they ? I don’t know if there’s a name for it ? To use furigana to convey an “hidden” meaning. Well, I kinda dig it too so that’s fine （´∇｀*）

優しい嘘で塗り固めた景色 どこまでも続く日常は 現世の見せる理不尽さを 遠い遠い世界へと運ぶ

キミヘノ愛ノ感情 ソレダケデコノ身ハ動く オマエヘノ増悪ノ感情 ソレダケデコノ身ハ疼く

偽りだというけれどだけど この悲しみが癒えるなら 騙され続ける共依存 ね？ほら痛くもなんともないよ

キミヘノ愛ノ衝動 何者ニモ変エガタク オマエヘノ増悪ノ衝動 何物ヨリ耐エガタク

終わることのないメビウスの輪 ねえ何故逃げたいの？ 世界のすべての幸福はここにあるのに

彼女は微笑む……

キミがいれば　キミがいれば　キミがいれば　何もいらない キミが微笑む世界[はこにわ]が　永久に続きますように

浸食される穏やかな日常 決して見過ごすわけにいかない どうして幸福を拒絶するの ここでじっとしてればいいのに たとえ歪んでたってそれは たとえ腐ってたってそれは たとえ澱んでたってそれは 幸福には変わりないのに 出口[オワリ]見つけてどうするんだい？ 怨嗟を撒き散らす醜い肉袋[すがた]に戻りたくはないだろう？ 彼女は苛立つ…… キミのいない　キミのいない　キミのいない世界なんて 初めから　初めから　そんなものはなかったよ キミがいない　キミがいない　キミがいな いうるさいな！！！！！！ 消えない耳鳴りに今日もナイフを突立てよう 悲しさなどとうに過ぎた　虚しささえ忘れ去った 終わることのない世界で　傷をえぐり膿をまいて ボクがボクのボクへボクをキミがキミのキミへキミを！！！ 壊れかけの愛の言葉 一度たりとも届かなかった！！！ 絶望のフィルム廻る　誰もがキミのことを忘れてしまった物語 慟哭は雨に溶けて　世界は優しい嘘でボクの心締め上げるキミのいない キミのいない　キミのいない世界なんて認めないよ　 認めないよ　ほらここに在[い]るじゃないか キミがいれば　キミがいれば　キミがいれば　何もいらないキミが微笑む世界[はこにわ]が　永久に続きますように

Translation:

A scenary covered in sweet lies A daily life that keeps going on The madness of the real world I'll take it to a far, far away place

My love for you Is the only thing that makes this body move My aversion for you Is the only thing that makes this body ache

Even if you say everything's a lie If I can heal your pain Deluding each others in codependence See, it doesn't hurt anymore

My devotion for you Nothing could ever replace it My hatred for you Nothing could be more unbearable

Why do you wish to flee from My everlasting Mobius ? All of the world's happiness is here

She smiles

You're not here, you're not here, you're not here, in this world. I won't accept it, I won't accept it, hey, why did you disappear ?

If you're here, if you're here, if you're here, I don't need anything else The world where you smile, will go on and on forever.

My peaceful everyday is crumbling away But I will never let it go Why do you reject happiness ? Why don't you stay here ?

Even if it's perverted Even if it's decaying Even if it's stagnating My happiness is everlasting

What will you do if you find the end ? You don't wont to return to this unsigtly state, spreading nothing but hatred, do you ? 

She's annoyed You're not here, you're not here, you're not here, in this world. It wasn't there to begin with, to begin with You're not here, you're not here, you're not here Shut up ! Today too, this neverending ringing in my ears feels like being stabbed

The sadness passed so long ago, I even left the emptiness behind This neverending world, pus is coming out of its wound

BOKUGABOKUNOBOKUEBOKUOKIMIGAKIMINOKIMIEKIMIO The words of my broken love They never even reached you !

This wretched film keeps going on, the story of how everyone forgot about you My lamentation melts with the rain, the world choked my heart with this beautiful lie

You're not here, you're not here, you're not here, in this world. I won't accept it, I won't accept it, hey, why aren't you here ? If you're here, if you're here, if you're here, I don't need anything else The world where you can smile, will go on and on forever.

Notes:

*Spoiler alert: I’ll try not to spoil the game, but please be careful while reading those notes*

- Where do I begin? This song is from a PS Vita game, “The Caligula Effect”. You control a group of highschool student trapped in a virtual world, Mobius ran by a Vocaloid-like entity called µ (Mu, just like µ’s from Love Live). Her goal is to let people repeat their highschool years peacefully, away from their real world problems. Thing is, most of the people in this world believe this is the real world, which is the whole point of the whole “peaceful virtual world” thing, but the hero and his friends are not happy about this “fake happiness”. I won’t go into details, but the game gives some mad Persona 3 and4 vibes, check it out if my bad synopsis somehow hooked you.

- There’s are some wordplays, kanji with completely different pronunciations, etc... that I feel I should note:

* The two stanzas starting with “ キミヘノ愛ノ” are really interesting. The first and third lines are almost identic in japanese, except for the last word. The first one has 感情, which means “feelings, emotions”, while the second one has 衝動, “urge, impulse”. I tried to convey it by choosing stronger, more violent feelings in the second one. The 変えがたい/耐えがたい (irreplaceable/unbearable) opposition was nice too. I wasn’t able to translate it well enough, but the two sentances are really similar in japanese.

* The “My peaceful everyday is crumbling away” is literally worded like that: “the peaceful everyday is being corroded by something”. It’s most likely referring to the protagonists trying to get out of this place.

 * “If you find the end”: The “end” is written in japanese as the “exit”. 

 * “BOKUGABOKUNOBOKUEBOKUOKIMIGAKIMINOKIMIEKIMIO”: It’s, well, garbage. Can’t really translate that.

* Forgot about that one. Some of the “世界” (sekai, world) like in “キミが微笑む世界" (kimi ga hohoemu sekai) is read as “ 箱庭” (hakoniwa), which means “miniature garden”. She’s obviously talking about how Moebius is a fabricated world, specifically made for people to enjoy their lives. * Holy hell how could I miss that one. Well, I know how, I was translating with the song on repeat, so I automatically swapped the written word for the sung ones. So, I’m dumb, in other news:  In the “unsightly state” line, the kanji for state (read as sugata in this song, which means “form, state”) is written 肉袋. These kanji should be read “nikutai” or “nikufukuro”, which means a bag of flesh. It was a bit confusing, so:  Written word: 肉袋, nikutai/nikufukuro, bag of flesh Sung as: 姿, sugata, form/state,

Translation: At the top of a building, there's a black cat Staring at the echo of a rusted toy

In a blink of an eye, a girl falls down Accelerating memories are like burst open pomegranates My vanishing guilt The black cat laughs at the rusted fruit Chewing, stabbing, his big ears At the sunset, the black cat laughs at the girl's toy.

It’s red... My back is like A shattered red glass orb

I'm falling, wrapped in happiness Free from despair The red sun is sparkling Waste glass, black ears Black paws, melody and prayers Embraced by the black cat, then smashed Forsaken gravestones, corpses turning into angels

The day after Zakuro’s drugged and forced to masturbate in front of camera (among other stuff), she goes back to school, and come across her bullies. Things happen, Zakuro snaps, and she starts picturing them as two black beasts, with “massive ears” and “blackened paws”, “tearing into the fruit”. - The part about memories and pomegranate is obviously referring to Zakuro’s suicide. “Zakuro” is japanese for “pomegranate”.

I think Zakuro was referred as “Crimson Hyperspace” or something at some point, so the color matches.  - The last part is pretty straightforward. The “corpses turning into angels” is probably about how Zakuro and her friends are supposed to get their angel powers back through a near-death experience. Well, we know how it turned out. * "Looking-glass Insects" is the third part of Subahibi, where we see the events of the first weeks of July through Zakuro POV. At some point, you can choose to either help Kimika stand up against Megu and Satoko, or just leave her. The former choice brings you to Kimika route, where she’ll talk about her feelings of guilt, and where everything ends “well”. The bullies are gone, and Zakuro and Kimika get their happy ending. The latter brings you to the true end of the chapter. Zakuro commits suicide, just like in the previous chapters.

Burning through fake lives You're tired Scattered Dead, now Floating in the glittering night sky Singing together Connecting lines Making constellations Gazes meeting Drawing an arc, and falling Maybe, this star Stays at the horizon without landing

In the city of falling stars, they're born, then fade away, I made a wish, to watch together life fragments turning into shooting stars Disappearing together, children wrapped in shining light A bed of the Milky way, a blanket of the night sky, good night

Surpassing the frightening night Your sparkle growing in this dark night The words I want to say riding on bamboo leaves Reaching the Milky Way Where you wandered Leave it to me, next to your sound Your beat rings Always, together, we'll go roudn The stars are beautiful today, aren't they ?

In the city of falling stars, they're born, then fade away, I made a wish, to watch together life fragments turning into shooting stars Disappearing together, children wrapped in shining light A bed of the Milky way, a blanket of the night sky, good night

In the city of falling stars, they're sparkling, then fade away, My wish came true, the constellations turned into shooting stars, and fills the sky Hand in hand, never letting go, we will definitely be able to meet In the next world together, goodbye to this world, see you.

In the city of falling stars, they're born, then fade away In the city of falling stars, they're born, then fade away I want to watch this dream with you Watch this dream, this pleasant dream

In the city of falling stars, they're born, then fade away.. Notes:

- None, I guess. Just one of my favorite songs from daoko.

Kuusou Iinkai - ラブトレーダー (Love Trader)

Song : ラブトレーダー - Love Trader Singer : 三浦 隆一 - Ryuichi Miura Album : 種の起源 - Shu no Kigen Band: 空想委員会 - Kuusou Iinkai Kanji: 3組のあの子の魅力まだ誰も気付かない 俺はもう動き出してる

膨大なデータを基にはじき出す　有望株 何よりも勘がそう言う

赤と黒　どっちに転ぶ？ 勝負師の血が騒ぎ出す あの子なら間違いないと　今なら「買い」だと

赤と黒　どっちに転ぶ？ 君の株　きっと上がるよ 教室は株式市場　値動きに注視！

3組のあの子の噂　徐々にもう広がって　火が付くの時間の問題

赤と黒　どっちに転ぶ？ 決めるなら今しかないよ すぐに手が届かなくなる リミットが迫る

赤も黒もどっちでもいいや 君が注目株になったら　次はもう目星がないよ 勝負に出なくちゃ Romaji: Sankumi no ano ko no miryoku mada dare mo kizukanai Ore wa mou ugokidashiteru

Boudai na deeta o ki ni hajikidasu yuuboukabu Nani yori mo kan ga sou iu

Aka to kuro docchi ni korobu ? Shoubushi no chi sawagidasu Ano ko nara machiganai to ima nara kai da to

Aka to kuro docchi ni korobu Kimi no kabu kitto agaru yo Kyoushitsu wa kabushiki ichiba neugoki ni chuushi

Sankumi no ano ko no uwasa joujo ni mou hirogatte hi ga tsuku no jikan no mondai

Aka to kuro docchi ni korobu Kimeru nara ima shikanai yo Sugu ni te ga todokanakunaru Rimitto ga semaru

Aka mo kuro mo docchi de moii ya Kimi ga chuumokukabu ni nattara tsugi wa mou meboshi ga nai yo Shobu ni denakucha Translation:

That girl from Class 3 - nobody noticed her yet But I'm already on the case

I gathered lots of intel about her, she's a "penny stock" I trust my instincts more than anything else

Red or black, where will it fall ? My gambler's blood is boiling If I'm not mistaken about that girl, she's  a "buy"

Red or black, where will it fall ? I'll definitely make your stock price rise The classroom is a stock market, and I'm watching its movement !

That girl from Class 3 - there are more and more rumors about her, it's just a matter of time

Red or black, where will it fall ? I need to decide, it's now or never My hand immediately stopped reaching her I'm approaching my limit

Red, black, it doesn't matter You became a "hot stock", I can't see my next target I have to win

Notes:

- No vid :’( Noone cared enough to post one on youtube or anywhere else. - I find this song.. cute ? Sad ? This guy basically fell in love with a girl before anyone else found out about her and now that she’s popular, he can’t make a move. Or maybe he’s some timid guy who can only look at girls from afar, and he fancies himself as some great expert about girls to cope with his own shyness ?  Well, that’s how I felt listening to it. - The whole “stock market” conceit was pretty interesting. I guess the “Red or black” part is about a roulette, though.
