Numbness/かじかんだこと 作詞・作曲：弾人 歌：松田っぽいね

少しずつ綴った手紙を見直す その時に 消しゴムの跡掃うその手の冷たさに気付いた sukoshizutsu tsudzutta tegami o minaosu   sono toki ni keshigomu no ato ha uso no te no tsumeta sa ni kidzuita little by little, i’d look back at that written letter when i brushed away the eraser marks, only then did i realize the coldness of that hand

でもまだ覚えてる あの手の温かさを きっと分かってた 死ねるほどに 気持ち悪がられてもいいぐらい 考えていても始まらないって 言って demo mada oboeteru   ano te no atatakasa o kitto wakatteta   shineru hodo ni kimochi warugararetemoii gurai kangaeteitemo hajimaranai tte   itte but i still remember the warmth of that hand i definitely understood it, so much so i could die of course i would feel this awful about it "even if you think about it, nothing will happen," i told myself

ポケットにしまった懐炉を少しだけ揉み解す ふと見上げた雪の窓辺と 映る泣きはらした目 poketto ni shimatta kairo sukoshi dake momihogusu futo miageta yuki no madobe to   haeru nakiharashita me while massaging the hand warmer in my pocket just a little, suddenly, when i looked up by the window was snow and the reflection of my eyes swollen from tears

忘れられないのに忘れたいと願って ずっと望んでた あなたの声 気づいた時にはもう届かなくて きっと意味もない そう手紙を丸めた wasurerarenai noni wasuretai to negatte zutto nozondeta   anata no koe kidzuita toki ni wa mou todokanakute kitto imi mo nai   sou tegami o marumeta even though i can't, i want to forget i always wished to hear your voice but by the time i realized, i couldn't reach you anymore "i'm sure there's no meaning to it," with that i crumpled up the letter

紙屑の山も 崩れそうで 止まった手の上に滴が落ちる 残っていたのは渇く喉と後悔だけ kamikuzu no yama mo   kuzuresoude tomatta te no ue ni shizuku ga ochiru nokotteita no wa kawaku nodo to koukai dake even the mountain of paper scraps seem about to collapse as a drop falls onto the top of my motionless hand leaving only my dried-up throat and regrets behind

きっと分かってた 死ねるほどに 気持ち悪がられてもいいぐらい 一人きり転んでも立ち上がれやしないよ あなたなしでは kitto wakatteta shineru hodoni kimochi warugararetemo ii gurai hitorikiri korondemo tachiagareyashinaiyo anata nashi de wa i definitely understood it, so much so i could die of course i would feel this awful about it even if i fell down on my own, there's no way i could get back up without you here

君へのこの想いが張り裂けそう それでも僕の声出なくて kimi e no kono omoi ga harisakesou soredemo boku no koe denakute these feelings for you feel like they're about to burst, but even still my voice won't come out

溢れるこの想いよ君に届け 音にならなくても叫ぶよ afureru kono omoi yo kimi ni todoke oto ni naranakutemo sakebuyo these feelings are overflowing to reach you even if they don't form into sound, i'll keep yelling them

君からは会わなくなった。 声が出ないせいだな kimi kara wa awanakunatta. koe ga denai sei dana we hadn't met since then. probably because my voice won't come out, i'm sure

君はもうあきれたのかな？ 僕のことが憎くて kimi wa mou akiretano kana? boku no koto ga nikute i wonder if you're crushed by now? you must detest me

殺風景 原曲/歌詞：碧華 歌：松田っぽいよ

あなたはいつだって笑顔を振りまいてる 僕に向けられてたそれも義務みたいなもんだろう 平凡過ぎるほど聴き易いその声は 左耳にあった鼓膜を悪戯に揺らしてた anata wa itsudatte egao o furimaiteru boku ni mukerateta sore mo gimu mitainamon darou heibon sugiru hodo kikiyasui sono koe wa hidari mimi ni atta komaku o itazura ni yurashiteta you‘re always giving out smiles you had smiled at me, even if it seemed to be an obligation in a place that was too crowded, that voice i could hear well had so teasingly brushed the eardrum of my left ear

あぁ　何故だろう そこにあったはずの　香りも消えてく 二人だけの時間なんて来ないまま aa naze darou soko ni atta hazu no   kaori mo kieteku futari dake no jikan nante konai mama ah, why is it that you have to be over there, where your scent as well fades away? even if something like time for just the two of us will never happen

期待して　裏切って　またあの夢の続きだ 届かない背中を追いかける 伸びた小指の爪も　くたびれた髪も ただずっと　愛しくて kitai shite   uragitte   mata ano yume no tsudzuki da todokanai senaka o oikakeru nobita koyubi no tsume mo kutabireta kami mo tada zutto   itoshikute waiting expectantly and getting betrayed, that dream continues on once more i chase after that unreachable back of yours the outgrown nail of your pinky, the worn down lock of your hair it’s just always been so precious to me

ありがちな言い訳も上手くできないようで 焦って頬をかく癖を今でも覚えてる arigachina iiwake mo umaku dekinai you de asette hoho o kaku kuse o imademo oboeteru it seems the usual excuses don’t work as well anymore even now i still remember the way you worry the inside of your cheek

隠さないで　どんな嘘だって全部見えるから 無駄な足掻きなんてやめて　逃げないで kakusanaide    donna uso datte zenbu mieru kara muda na agaki nante yamete   nigenaide don’t hide from me, no matter what lies you say i see everything anyway quit the useless struggling, don’t run away

穢れきった願いでも　歪んだ感情でも　構わない その笑顔をいつも見ていたい 遠い後ろ姿じゃ　あなたの声さえ 聞こえない　そうでしょ？ kegarekitta negai demo   yuganda kanjou demo    kamawanai sono egao o itsumo miteitai tooi ushiro sugata ja anata no koe sae kikoenai soudesho? despite these disgraceful desires and twisted emotions, it doesn’t matter i just want to always see that smile the back of that figure is so far away, even your voice, i can’t hear any of it, you know?

覗くその言葉から　全てを知ってしまいたい 見えた表情も全部　数えて　並べて 笑顔も声も癖も　全部覚えてる 今もずっと　見ているよ nozoku sono kotoba kara   subete o shitteshimaitai mieta hyoujou mo zenbu   kazoete   narabete egao mo koe mo kuse mo   zenbu oboeteiru ima mo zutto   miteiru yo peeking through from those words, i want to know everything i could count every single expression of yours that i’ve seen your smile, your voice, your mannerisms, i remember all of it because even now, i’m always watching you

知らない扉の向こう　あなたがそこに居るんだ 僅かな隙間から見える殺風景 遠い後ろ姿じゃ　僕の想いさえ 届かない　だからね shiranai tobira no mukou   anata ga soko ni irunda wazuka na sukima kara mieru sappuukei tooi ushiro sugata ja   boku no omoi sae todokanai   dakara ne you’re there behind some door from a crack i can just barely see your dreary expression the back of that figure is so far away, even my feelings can’t reach, that’s why

今もずっと　見てるよ ima mo zutto miteruyo even now, i’m always watching you

ゆるやかな流れの中 この心突き刺してく 痛み   埋めて yuruyaka na nagare no naka kono kokoro tsukisashiteku itami umete within a gently flowing stream this heart is pierced and the pain buried

溶けてゆくシグナルから 伝わった記憶さえも 強く刻み toketeyuku shigunaru kara tsutawatta kioku sae mo tsuyoku kizami even the memories conveyed from a dissolving signal engrave themselves strongly

(cough cough)’" best song at karaoke: “it'd be ajikan wouldn't it???” (asian kung-fu generation) if their phone battery died while being out: “since he probably doesn't use it other than for LINE he wouldn't mind that much” way of dealing with telemarketers: “he’d somehow end up listening to the very end of the message. there are times he'll refuse and times he won't refuse” if a child is crying right in front of them: “soothe the child, smile” if their favorite singer announces retirement: “he’d listen to their CDs and such on repeat” if they really need to use the bathroom but only have a little further till reaching home: “if there is no one fast-walking around, he’ll run home at top speed” favorite onigiri filling: “okaka” (katsuobushi/bonito flakes with soy sauce) choose to do dishwashing, laundry, bath cleaning, or cooking: “bath cleaning” painful memories of middle school: “to him there are plenty (a lot); singing enthusiastically while playing air guitar and being seen, etc” what changed since beta design: “his hair color was faded, the number 01 and such was tattooed onto his hip”

[translation] Aka to Ao no Rampage

朱と碧のランページ by PON feat.NU-KO

時間が　留まる　この場所で 果てなき　幾千の夜を超えた 光も　届かぬ　この場所で あなたは　何を望むだろう In this place, time remains trapped Endlessly, over thousands of nights Light as well cannot reach this place What will you wish for?

揺らぎだした命を　蝕む悪魔のように 呪われた歯車が　もう　廻り出していた あふれるその希望が　くすんでしまわぬようにと 願いは天空の彼方へ Like a demon eating it away, your life wavered The cursed gear is already beginning to move In order to prevent those overflowing hopes and dreams from dimming, I wish towards the sky

黒き螺旋が渦巻いた　この闇を抜けて 引かれ合う　運命に　今目覚める 燃えさかる茜空に　破れない約束をした 悲しみのその宿命を　受け入れると 朱と碧のランページ　今　解き放って The black vortex spun, and this darkness came out Drawn to fate, awaken now Towards the blazing crimson sky, an unbreakable promise was made I’ll take upon that fate of sorrow so, Rampage of scarlet and blue, release now

終わりへ　繋がる　この場所で 願いは　暗闇へ引き込まれた 出口の　見えない　この場所で あなたは　何を叫ぶだろう In this place, we are connected to the end My wish was swallowed by darkness No exit from this place can be seen What will you shout?

近づいた真実は　儚く崩れ落ちていく 全て物語だったなら　笑えたのに 頼りなき掌をつないだ　小さなその想い 断ち切れぬ運命を背負って The approaching reality crumbles in a fleeting moment If it was all a story, even though you laughed, Those small feelings held onto this unreliable hand, And were burdened with an unbreakable fate

黒き螺旋が引き裂いた　届かぬこの声 迫りくる　運命が　今始まる 旅立ちの茜空に　叶わない約束をした いにしえのその宿命を　受け入れると 朱と碧のランページ　今　解き放って The black vortex split off, with this voice unable to reach, The impending fate begins now Towards the journey’s crimson sky, a wish that would never come true was made I’ll take upon that fate of ancient times so, Rampage of scarlet and blue, release now

血塗られた現実と　交差する朱と碧の糸 全てが混ざり合ったこの場所で　消えた 過去と未来を彷徨う A reality smeared with blood, and entwining scarlet and blue strings In this place, everything blended together and then disappeared The past and future wander about endlessly

もう戻ることのない　時間の中で 何を思い　叫び　泣くの？ There’s no turning back within time here What are you thinking about, shouting, are you crying?

燃えさかる茜空に　破れない約束をした 悲しみのその宿命を　受け入れると 朱と碧のランページ　今　解き放って Towards the blazing crimson sky, I made an unbreakable promise I’ll take upon that fate of sorrow so, Rampage of scarlet and blue, release now

Break on Through by REUNION

光る　風の中を走り抜け 連れ去る夜へと　駆け出すフリーウェイ 騙す　言葉を転がす手の上 君の夢の中　照らす月の空へ Shine, run straight through the wind To the stolen night, run off towards the freeway Enchanted, rolling words above your hand In your dreams, let’s fly towards the moonlit sky

もう二度と戻らない日々 噛み締める苦みより 過ぎ去る夢振り払い 見上げれば星空 Even harder than recovering from biting into a bitter taste, I wouldn’t be able to shake off that passing dream  of the days that will never return If I looked up the starry sky

気づく過ち集めて そう　空に放て まだ目覚めぬこの街で ただ一つの別れなだけ Gather up all the realized mistakes, Yes, release them towards the sky Once we awaken again in this town, There will be only a single farewell

微睡むシーツの下に 思い出達が巣食う Dozed off under the bedsheets, All the memories linger

噤む唇が叫ぶ もう二度とは無い 張り付いた笑みこそを盾に その舞台で今日も踊れ There’s no chance my closed lips will ever yell again While shielding that stuck smile, I dance upon that stage again today

淀む記憶をたよりに そう 笑い飛ばせ にじり寄る罪を払い ただその手を星に伸ばせ Relying on stagnant memories, Yes, laugh it all away As you clear away the crept up vices, Just reach out to the sky with that hand

光る　風の中を走り抜け 連れ去る夜へと　駆け出すフリーウェイ 騙す　言葉を転がす手の上 君の夢の中 飛び越えて So ride away 飛び越えて Shine, run straight through the wind To the stolen night, run off towards the freeway Enchanted, rolling words above your hand In your dreams, Jump over them So ride away Jump over them

[translation] 夏色DIARY（Yu-yake Style)

夏色DIARY（Yu-yake Style) by 猫又王子 feat.PON 

薄暗い路地 エントランス ネオンがニヤついてる カビ臭い冷たい風 コインは鋭く光放つ At the entrance of a dim alleyway, the neon lights are grinning Towards the smell of mold and the cold breeze, this coin unleashes a piercing light

カードをかざして さあ 暗証番号は何だ? ゲームの始まりだぜ オレらの夏はこれからさ Holding out my card, now, what was my ID pin again? It's the start of the game Our summer starts from here on out

Make my diary today! 連れて行ってくれ 思い出の風 今この時を忘れないぜ Make my diary today! 書き留めておくれ 記憶のペンで あの日の「オレたち」が詰まったページをめくり 旅に出ようぜ Make my diary today! Come along with me, we'll make a breeze of memories We won't forget this moment now Make my diary today! With the pen of your memories, write it all down The "us" of that day are logged, so turn the page, Let's go on a journey

終わらない夏がくれたこの絵日記(ダイアリー) いつまでも続くような気がしてた それは終わらないはずの夏の落し物 過ぎ去ってく… 過ぎ去ってく… From this picture diary, an endless summer was created I have a feeling it may continue forever That was something left behind from a summer that shouldn't have ended And the days went by... and by...

[translation] LM386-1

LM386-1 by 弾人feat. 松田っぽいよ

そこは僕の好きな場所でさ 同時に嫌な場所であってさ it’s both my favorite place, you see, as well as my least favorite place それでも慣れてくるもの なんか怖いな even still the things i'm getting used to are still a little scary 自分を決めつけてしまえばさ それでもう終わってしまう and if i come to a decision for myself, it’s already come to an end

だから何か書こうとここにこんな物 出してきた訳です   so let's write something, and from here,  a translation for something like this will be born

まるで来ぬ人を待つように その白を見つめているだけ   almost like strangers waiting around, we'll only gaze upon that blank space

伝えてよこの気持ちを ちっぽけな勇気を please tell me; with these feelings, and this small confidence of mine, 心の中のスピーカはまだ素直に動かない   frankly, the speaker within my heart still won't move  

それは僕に余るものでさ 書いても無駄に見えてさ this is just too much for me, it’d be pointless to even write it out それでも書きたい気がする 理由はないの？   and yet i still feel like writing; is there any reason for it? けどね 何かが僕を押すんだ 「ほら、そこにいる」   but y'know, it's because something's pushing me along "look, you’re already there"

伝えてよこの思いを 少しだけの感情でも please tell me; with these thoughts, despite such few emotions, 心の中のアンプがまだうまく受け付けない   the amp within my heart still can't accept it well

伝えられないというならいっそ壊してしまおうか if i can’t say these words, why don’t i just destroy it right away instead? 心なんてなかったなら自分の声で叫べるかな if i didn't have something like a heart, i wonder, would i shout with my own voice?

translation notes: LM386 is a type of integrated circuit with a low voltage audio power amplifier. basically, an amp, as mentioned in the last chorus.

Substory: Is Santa real?

merry christmas

Part 1: Santa's Identity? Minit's: It's almost christmas! The town looks so pretty too~ Akane: Hahaha, it's true. Minit's: I wonder what Santa will bring me this year...~ Gerhard: You sure are a kid, huh? Santa isn't real, duh. Minit's: Wha, that's not true! I got cake last year... Gerhard: You're so dumb... That was your fathe- Akane: Now, now. Don't be so mean. Minit's: Uu... Then I'm gonna give Santa my Christmas request. I better start writing my letter! Gerhard: Hahaha! Let's see what happens when you do! Akane: (This is troublesome...)

Part 2: The Santa Role Akane: So that's the story. Do you think you could you be Santa? Fuga: W...Why me... Wouldn't it be okay if Retsu did it... Akane: There's his height and such... Fuga: A... And what about the costume... Retsu: Grandmaaa, I brought him! Toa: Hey there~! I heard you wanted Santa's outfit to be made, so I came! Fuga: I... I wonder if you could be Santa instead? Toa: Ehh, it's more fun if other people wear my costumes. Also, it'd be too hot to wear. Akane: Please! Just think of protecting the dreams of children... Fuga: ...

Part 3: Santa's secret? Akane: Minit's-chan! Santa is here! Minit's: Ah!! It's true! See! Santa really does exist! Gerhard: Wha...?! A-Anyhow, it's someone in a disguise! Reveal your identity! You impostor!! Take that! Fuga: Ow! Hey! Please stop that! Gerhard: This beard's also a fake! Fuga: Tch... I have no choice...! (Wind blowing) Gerhard: Gyaaa!? A...A gust of wind?! Minit's: He got blown away... Fuga: That just now was Santa Hurricane.

Part 4: Santa is Powerful Minit's: Santa is so cool and powerful!! You really are the real thing, huh!! Fuga: There, there. You're different than the kid before; you're a good kid since you believe in Santa. It's a bit early, but I'll give you a present. This yo-yo! Minit's: A yo-yo...? Minit's request didn't go through yet? Fuga: ...T...The guy who does presents will properly deliver it on Christmas day, okay. This is a...sort of special service. Minit's: Is that how it is~ Thank you! Fuga: Well, I... must go. I'm very busy and all, so it's about time I go back. (Leaves quickly) Minit's: Okay! Santa, thank you so much!! Bye-bye!! See you soon!! Hey, Santa was here, huh? Gerhard: Yeahh... Santa could control wind, huh... I didn't know that, but it was kinda cool!

[translation] 蜃気楼

蜃気楼 by 弾人 feat.松田っぽいよ

そっと手を開いて 君に背を向けた 呼びかける声はずっと遠く聞こえた Softly opening my hand, I turned my back to you I've always heard that voice calling out in the distance

冷めた足跡 思い出せない その想いもきっと消えていくんだ I can't remember the chilled traces, Since those feelings have disappeared for sure too

いつか交わした言葉も時効だと決めきって さながら無視をするように君の視線を避け続けた ああ、こんなに辛いのに As for the exchanged words of some day and even the limits of time, I decisively ignored them, as if avoiding your gaze Ah, even though it's this painful

君の想いは蜃気楼 見通せないそのすがた 僕の想いと蜃気楼 ゆらり 揺れて目をつむる Your feelings are a mirage; I can't see through that facade My feelings are a mirage too; wavering, I turn away, closing my eyes ららりら La la li la...

「どうもお久しぶり」その言葉が似合う 意外そうな顔がすぐに浮かぶ様「どうして」 "Hello, it's been a while" Those words are fitting A somehow surprised expression seems to surface instantly; "What should I do?"

足掻いた痕も 焦がした胸も やがて長い時と共に癒えていく The scratched marks, the scorched chest too, will eventually heal after a long time has passed

誰かの顔や言葉の忘れ方を知った すべて捨ててしまう その時 覚えていられるだろうか 君の名前を I knew how to forget someone's expressions and words I should just throw everything away; at that time, I'll be able to remember your name, won't I?

君の想いは蜃気楼 届かない手を伸ばす 僕の想いと蜃気楼 ふらり 消えて恋を知る Your feelings are a mirage, I stretch out a hand that can't reach My feelings are a mirage too, I know this casually disappearing love

ららりら La la li la...
