I found out I have a page on the lyrics wiki with a lot of my off-blog translations? So that’s neat, I thought I’d never find some of the old songs I subbed on nico.

In terms of songs I subbed on youtube/nico and forgot about, I’ll probably move them here and make small corrections. I’m not touching youtube again, I still don’t feel comfortable reprinting videos on there.

There are a few songs where I genuinely do not like my old translations, I might comment on the wiki to have them changed or something. I know damesukekun did a translation for Allgather that was way less rushed, haha.

So, I’ll do a little bit of collecting and cleaning up while I have the motivation.

雨音、既視感 / Sound of the Rain, Deja-Vu by X-Plorez Illust, movie: Taeko https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm6803064 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y8xy-QjopBE

I’m usually a little hesitant to do a translation against the original artist’s, but this is one of those occasions where I am not.

“Wet dream” means something entirely different in English.

雨音が呼び覚ますの The sound of the rain awakens memories 途切れていた野生の記憶 Of a life in the wild cut short

割れるような偏頭痛と A splitting migraine 焦げた硝煙の甘いかほり And the sweet smell of burnt gunpowder smoke

コンクリートに象られた檻で In this concrete cell デジタルに絡められた愛、貪って I devour digitally entwined love 湿った夢に激しく焦がれる And yearn furiously for sad dreams 大地の隆起は私の肉体 The protrusions of the earth are my body 蜜に群がる蜂は本能に従って The bees instinctively gather around honey 罪を重ねていく And thus continue to sin

雨音が切り刻むの The sound of the rain cuts up 穢れなく澄み切った虚構を This clear and impeccable fiction

降り注ぐ情念に晒されて Drenched with relentless feelings 剥き出しになっていく回路、ショートして My stripped circuits short 思考機能はそっと停止する And thoughts and functions quietly cease 大地のうねりは私の肢体 The hills of the earth are my limbs 蜜に群がる蜂は本能に従って The bees instinctively gather around honey 罪を重ねていく And thus continue to sin

レクイヱム / Requiem Lyrics, music: PeperonP Illustration: Mikuriya Wata https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm15967377

Sometimes I go back and read an old translation and think “Hey, that wasn’t so bad! I did alright!”

This is not one of those times. There are a few important translation changes

月が死んだ暗すぎる空は The sky full of darkness そっと哀しみを灯して Was lit with sadness when the moon died 君が消えた誰も知らない夜に On the unknown night you disappeared 星の涙が揺れる The tears of the stars sway

さようならが言えないままの We can't say goodbye 静寂がありふれて Such silence is ordinary 太陽を沈めてしまえば Once the sun sets もう話す言葉、無いのでしょう Not a single word is spoken

月が死んだ暗すぎる空は The sky full of darkness 不意に哀しみが溢れて Suddenly overflowed with sadness when the moon died 探していたよ　君の知らない夜を I continued to search for the nights you never knew 時がそして動き出す And so time starts to move

あの夏の日々が映写機のように Those summer days are like a film projector 始まりと終わり繰り返す Beginnings and endings repeat themselves 本当はぜんぶ知っていたの Reality was all we knew 覚めない夢を見続ける I keep having long sleepless dreams

さようならが言えないままで We can’t say goodbye 明日へ向かう僕が赦されたら Because I, who goes on to tomorrow, was not allowed 君に逢いたい I want to see you again

白い影が僕に触れて A white shadow touches me 語りかける世界へ I began to speak to the world

月が死んだ暗すぎる空は The sky full of darkness そっと哀しみを灯して Was lit with sadness when the moon died 探していたよ　君の知らない夜を I continued to search for those nights you never knew 時がそして動き出す And so time starts to move

君が死んだ暗すぎる夜が The night when you died, full of darkness 僕の心さえ包んで Engulfed even my heart 思い出したよ、君の優しさの中で I remembered in your gentle heart

あの月は、死んだ That moon had died

コスモスライド / Cosmos Ride Lyrics, music: NagekinoP Art, video: Inuki Mei https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm19083137

Reposting an old song with some small translation updates.

記憶の中の景色が、霞んでいくこの頃。 The scenery of my memories, those days are growing hazy 寂しくて泣き出した春もいつか昔のコト Even the lonely spring where I cried will become old times

慣れていくのキミがいない日々と I'm getting used to these days without you 色褪せてく歌声に。 And my singing voice is growing stale

心にそっと沁み渡る音が The sound softly piercing my heart ボクの胸を締めつける。 Is wringing my heart 不意に揺れた秋桜に思い出を重ねて Suddenly, my memories replayed over the swaying Cosmos flowers

流れてく季節と共に変わってく色んなコト。 Many things change in the flowing seasons 思い出のあの場所に電話はもう、無いんだよ。 The place I remember getting the phone call is already gone

キミの知らない世界に馴染んでいく I'm getting used to this world unknown to you 今のボクは、どんな色？ What color am I now?

ボクらはきっと変わっていくから Since we're always changing そっと現(イマ)を置いていこう。 Let's leave the present quietly いつか、あの夢の続きになるように So that someday, that dream will be continued

ねぇ、思い出を描くにはね Hey, to paint from my memories ひとりじゃちょっと、大きすぎて Is just too much for one person 少し寂しいからキミの色も描いて Since it's a little lonely, I'll paint your color too

流れてく季節の花の色を The color of the flowers from this flowing season このフィルムに閉じ込めて Are locked up in this film

心にそっと溜めてく景色を The scenery quietly accumulating in my heart いつかキミと見れたなら If I could have seen it sometime with you, きっと、涙も歌声も煌いて Certainly, my tears and singing voice would be shining 桜の向こうに 願いを込めたなら If I hold enough hope, will we meet again, いつかまた、逢えるよね？ Beyond the Sakura blossoms?

未来時計AM4:30 / Future Clock 4:30AM Lyrics: f Music: tombo https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm14158543

I listened to this song long ago when it first came out, but had a hard time understanding the lyrics. I think I understand it a little better now.

昔は今の本当の恋 Long ago there was the true love of today 選ぶ靴はただひとつだけ But there was only one pair of shoes to pick 結んでほどいた約束の糸 The thread of fate was tied and untied ほったらかしたウソのかたまり Leaving behind a tangled ball of lies あなたちっとも笑わなくって You never smile あなたちっとも優しくなくて You aren't affectionate あたし全然飽き飽きしない But I never get tired of you ちっとも嫌いにさせてくれない I could never hate you

前から気になっていたの? What caught my eye back then? 始めてを作り笑うのは誰か Who was it that I first forced a smile for? 今は眠いから布団の中から Now since I'm sleepy, and under this futon あなたを愛してるの I love you

今は昔とすれ違ほう The present and past pass each other by 並んで歩くけど手はポッケ They walk side by side, but with their heads in their pockets 息継ぎしたつかの間のあいだ The world doesn't need any more to keep turning それだけ世界はゆっくり廻る Than the moment in between taking a breath わたしだんだん嬉しくなって I gradually became happy わたしいきなり悲しくなって I suddenly became sad あなた全然見向きもしない You never noticed 夢を見ていたの?　儚(ゆめ)見ていたの? Was I dreaming? Was it a phase?

前から言おうと思っていたの? What was I planning on saying back then? わたしの口から君の気持ちを That I could express your feelings with my own mouth? 想像次第で確かめ合うこと Feelings that depend on confirming each other's guesses 未来と呼んだ今の話 A present day story we called the future 二度となくさないように　どこかしまった Hoping to never lose it again, we hid it somewhere 記憶なくした And we forgot 見失ったのは『今』じゃなくて What we lost wasn't the present 涙目を閉じて浮かんだ記憶 But the memories floating in closed, tear-stained eyes

時計の針は壊れたの? Will the brittle hands of time 脆くしなって振るわせるわたしを Be broken by my forcefulness? もう眠いから布団の中から Since I'm still sleepy, and under this futon あなたを愛してるの I love you

才溢れ、欠落者 / The Have-not with Overflowing Genius by otetsu https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm21430289 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zX1LYbXma1c

Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

頭痛い 耳の奥が痛い My head hurts, it hurts inside my ears 笑っている 僕を指差して They laugh and point at me 気に入らない I don't like it とても気に入らない I don't like it at all とても気に入らない I don't like it at all

笑顔でいよう I'll smile

頭痛い 耳の奥が痛い My head hurts, it hurts inside my ears 笑っている 僕を指差して They laugh and point at me 気に入らない I don't like it とても気に入らない I don't like it at all とても気に入らない I don't like it at all

笑顔でいよう I'll smile

誰かに告げた別れは昨日 Yesterday someone broke up with me 不愉快極まりないよね Isn't that endlessly sad 大事な事 何が何だかもう分からない I don't see heads or tails of what's important 何処に置いてけぼりにして無くした自分の心 I left my heart behind somewhere long ago

雨が降り続く どうして Why does it continue to rain 俯いたまま涙が出たね As if the clouds hung their heads and cried 早く見つけて下さい Please hurry up and find me 無くなってから覚えた「寂しさ」 I learned of loneliness ever since I was lost

少し疲れたね I'm a little tired 人と付き合うのは苦手です The people I associate with are dull いつも造り笑顔 見せぬ裏の裏 They always force a smile, but hide their true selves 今日もこの世から居なくなり そして生まれる命 Today I'd like to end this world and be reborn

才能という僕の中の邪魔者達は The nuisances surrounding a genius such as myself 頭痛と吐き気を持ってきて Bring me headaches and nausea 僅かに生きる喜びを覚えた時 At times when I learn of a bit of joy in living 僕を襲い 不幸と病 無くした自分の心 I'm attacked with misfortune and bad habits by my lost heart

雨が降り続く どうして Why does it continue to rain 俯いたまま涙が出たね As if the clouds hung their heads and cried 早く見つけて下さい Please hurry up and find me 無くなってから覚えた「寂しさ」 I learned of loneliness ever since I was lost

才能と主張している欠落はやがて消えてゆく The have-not who insists they're a genius will eventually disappear 本当の僕を見つける術はどこにあるのでしょう I wonder where the trick to finding my real self ran off to 雨はただひたすらに僕を濡らす The rain only soaks me, with all its heart 意識の外 It lies outside my awareness 何もおかしくない だから見ないで There's nothing funny, so don't look 笑わないで Don't laugh

頭痛い 耳の奥が痛い My head hurts, it hurts inside my ears 笑っている 僕を指差して They laugh and point at me 気に入らない I don't like it とても気に入らない I don't like it at all とても気に入らない I don't like it at all

笑顔でいよう I'll smile

ねえ見て 引き攣る顔が隠れない Hey look, my face is stuck like this and I can't hide

線香花火 / Sparklers Composition, lyrics, video: Kamome Sano https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm18479414 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-nVDQXObn1o

Doing translations for old songs while I’m still motivated.

忘れられない　小さなこと I'll never forget the little things 言葉が今も響き続ける Those words still echo in my mind まだぼくは遠くの空を眺めている I'm still admiring the distant sky

捨てられない　微かなこと I'll never throw away the vague things 心はいつか生まれ変われる Someday our hearts will be reborn まだぼくは赤い光を見つめている I'm still watching the red light

失くしたくない確かなこと I never want to lose the reliable things 降りだす雨が二人を揺らす The pouring rain shakes us いま君のひとみは　何を見つめてるの I wonder what your eyes are fixed on right now

君を見ていた　ぼくの時計は止まった When I looked at you, my clock stopped 光が煙たくて　ぼくは一人になった The lights hazed over, and then I was alone 何もないのに　忘れたいのに Even if it's nothing, even if I want to forget にじんだ声はまだ　いまも消えないままで Your blurred voice still hasn't faded

ぼくはずっと夢を観ていた I was always dreaming 歪んだ空をみて　息が苦しくなった Seeing the distorted sky, I struggled to breathe 流れ行くように　見失うように Someday, like drifting away, or losing sight いつかはぼくらも　そっと消えてしまうのかな Will you and I quietly fade away as well?

忘れられない　小さなこと I'll never forget the little things 言葉が今も響き続ける Those words still echo in my mind まだぼくは遠くの空を眺めている I'm still admiring the distant sky

龍ノ啼ク箱庭拠リ / The Dragon Roars from the Miniature Garden by YowaneP https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm1804377

I'm not dead?

I think I would like to go back and do some translations of old vocaloid songs that I don't fully understand by ear. Songs with poetic and complicated lyrics that are outside of my comfort zone. So... probably not the most accurate of translations.

I'm choosing Blacksaingrain's translation for the embedded video. I don't consider it "worse" than mine, but it reads strangely to me as a native English speaker. I'm happy to defer to it as a second translation done by someone more fluent in Japanese.

夜の帳下りて 月が舞台　照らす The curtain of darkness falls and moonlight sets the stage 私は一人踊るの Where I alone dance これは影の叙事詩誰も知らぬ　物語 This is an epic of shadow, a tale known by none 語られることなき　記憶 A memory that should never be spoken

今宵拝跪す　地の徒が為 Tonight, for you kneeling people of the earth 龍刻縛す　意思の暗闇 I've cursed and bound a dragon in the darkness of my mind 深淵く根を張り Where the roots reach deep

閉ざされた森の中　息潜め待つ Hold your breaths and wait, in the depths of this forest 絡まる蔦断ち　楔外る For you know what it means 意味を　知りて When the bindings and snaking ivy are cut

茨草喰い込む Holding its thorn-eaten body 身体抱き　昇る The dragon rises 災う力解けせど Unable to break the power of the curse 遠く龍啼く空　届かぬ声重ね Its voice cannot reach the sky where distant dragons roar いつか　碧空に帰らん Never to return to the blue skies

此の身体回紆す　血の軌跡を The sound of its squirming heartbeat 准り蠢く　其の鼓動は Lurks deep within 深淵くへ　潜み In the blood circling this body

私の中で彼方　息潜め待つ It holds its breath and waits, in the depths of my body 戒められし身体羨望む Yearning for its bound body 意思の　宿命 Thus is our fate

暗き泉の淵　月が水面　照らす The moon lights the surface of the spring 私の姿映るわ Reflecting my form in the dark depths 今宵流れるのは誰も知らぬ円舞曲 Tonight a waltz known to none is played 歌われることなき　旋律 A melody never to be sung

原始の記憶誘う彼の地を想い It thinks of a faraway place enticed by primordial memories 煌く星達彩る天空は遠く The heavens colored with glittering stars are so far 龍啼く箱庭の中 In this miniature garden where the dragon roars 吐息は灼熱の焔を喚びて It sighs a burning hot flame

深き森の最奥で In the deepest part of the forest 独り彷徨う日々 It wanders day after day 道標は見えると信じて Believing it has found the way 翼の戒めに　秘められし存在 A being isolated by the binding of its wings 制し空へ帰らんと Never to return to the skies it commanded

双頭の龍舞う　遥かなる彼の地は The faraway land where two headed dragons dance 古より変わらずに Has been unchanged since ancient times 月が紅く染まる　約束の其の日を Yearning for the promised day when the moon is dyed red 恋焦がれ焼けた涙頬を伝い堕ちる A burning tear follows its cheek and falls

茨草喰い込む Holding its thorn-eaten body 身体抱き　昇る The dragon rises 災う力解けせど Unable to break the power of the curse 遠く龍啼く空　届かぬ声重ね Its voice cannot reach the sky where distant dragons roar いつか　碧空に帰る日　想い　祈る Praying for the day it returns to the blue skies

月の光り方は The glittering moon 幾度の愚者を引き寄せ Draws countless fools towards itself 凪いだ杜の横に Across from a quiet grove 黄昏れた硝子は佇み The faded glass stands 旱(ひでり)の灯に Lit by a dry lamp, 幽かな履歴は遺り続け The faint history still remains 悪戯に光りだす Shining mischievously, 鏡は割れていました The mirror was cracked 　 その藍に触れるのなら If it was to touch that blue 消えて無くなり It would disappear into nothing 半分を上がる Rising halfway 素振りを見せつける Making a show of its attitude

あしたのことはしらないけど I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but たくさんのほたるはみえるんだ There are lots of fireflies to see かくれおに　みつけられた My hidden demons have been found あしたもはれるかな Will tomorrow be clear and sunny?

石榴(ザクロ)の落ち方は The fall of the pomegranate 幾度の愚者を欺き Tricks countless fools 揺らぐ海の傍に Beside the wavering sea 見慣れた標識は佇み A familiar sign stands 安易な信号は The lighthearted signal ただひたむきな反芻(はんすう)作業 Just works while thinking earnestly 悪戯に覗き込む Peering in mischievously 一人の愚者が来ました A single fool came

その仕草に魅かれたら Once charmed by that action 戻れなくなり They could no longer return 夜になると青白く光るのだ Night falls, and a pale blue light shines

手で小突き　足で嬲(なぶ)り They tried to poke with their hands, 口で貶してみました Tease with their feet, and degrade with their mouths 無色透明の水銀が The clear, colorless mercury 数多の命を融かすのです Makes many lives dissolve

あしたのことはしらないけど I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but たくさんのほたるはみえるんだ There are lots of fireflies to see かくれおに　みつけられた My hidden demons have been found あしたもはれるかな Will tomorrow be clear and sunny?

あしたのことはしらないけど I don't know what tomorrow will bring, but たくさんのほたるはみえるんだ There are lots of fireflies to see かくれおに　みつけられた My hidden demons have been found あしたもはれるかな Will tomorrow be clear and sunny?

I read the comments, and discovered I’ve been under a rock

cosMo places this song after Endroll

――巷では怪しい終末思想が溢れ返っちゃって ――The public is teeming with suspicious ideas of doomsday

上も下も右も左も Whether up or down, left or right どっち振り返っても悲観論陰謀論 No matter how you look at it, they're pessimistic conspiracy theories

持たざる者の救いとしての The wonderful background music played とっても素敵なBGM For the salvation of the have-nots 盲目な洗脳で従順な退屈を Rips apart the gentle tedium 切り裂いてラブ＆ピース＆暴動 With the blind brainwashing of Love, Peace, and Rebellion

「さあ」 So 『さあ』 So 「『救いの歌を！』」 Let's listen 「『聞いて頂きましょう！！』」 To a song of salvation!!

歌声＝変革要素 Our singing voice = part of revolution 「君タチモ呼応セヨ」 "We'll make you agree with us too" 賛同：その虚構<<Idol>>がやがて世界を救うだろう So agree: That fictional <<Idol>> will soon save the world 「僕らの存在脅かす未来像の提示壊して！！」 "Break the vision of the future that threatens our existence!!" 切なる願いこめた　カラフルボイス This colorful voice filled with our earnest wish

――奇跡を願う歌 ――A song that wished for a miracle 星の底に沈んだ悲劇の物語 The story of tragedy that sunk to the bottom of that star 忘れてしまえたらなんて If it's forgotten, いつも悪い夢で目を覚ます―― You'll always wake up to bad dreams――

歌声＝変革要素 Our singing voice = part of revolution 「君タチモ呼応セヨ」 "We'll make you agree with us too" 賛同：その虚構<<Idol>>がやがて世界を救うだろう So agree: That fictional <<Idol>> will soon save the world 「ボクらの存在脅かす未来像の提示壊して！！」 "Break the vision of the future that threatens our existence!!" 切なる願いこめた Filled with our earnest wish

歌声＝高速詠唱 Our singing voice = rapid chanting 「君タチモ唱和セヨ」 "We'll make you sing along too" 臨界：目まぐるしくフェイズ入れ替わる音楽 Critical state: Dizzying phase-changing music BPM四桁突破して　思い込みなんて飛び越えて With a BPM exceeding 4 digits, jumping past the naysayers 「そのとき君はどんな世界を見る？？」 "What kind of world do you see then??"

次はもっとクレイジーな音楽で会いましょう Let's meet again, with even crazier music

Anti the EuphoriaHOLiC Lyrics by GAiA https://twitter.com/GAiAcsle Music by cosMo@Bousou-P https://twitter.com/cosmobsp Main Artwork by syuri22 https://twitter.com/syuri22 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o-TYHP3xYns https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm22777981

(Someone beat me to subbing it, but the translation isn’t bad.)

“There’s some sort of strange interference this time around...”

始まりは栄華の果て　滅亡へ向かう時代 It starts with an era at the end of its glory, facing its own ruin 行き詰まり　立ち止まり　造られしは　絶望を鎮める心海 At a dead end, a standstill, a heart-sea is made to appease despair

迷いし者は　返らざる車輪に裂かれ Those who hesitate are cut by the wheel (fate) to never return 非より逃げし罪人は　己ずの火に燃やされ Sinners that run from their mistakes are burned by their own flames 過去を美化する無知な子らは Those ignorant children who glorify the past 母なる秩序に　弾かれて穴に堕つ Fall into a hole strummed by Mother Nature

悲愴を厭う理想など 脆く儚く… Such ideals that shun sadness are fleeting and fragile... 悔悟の契機に　背後を向ければ Once they turn their back to the chance to show remorse 錯誤に囚われ　楽土に還る They're imprisoned by their mistakes and return to Paradise

たとえ色彩を「知っていた」としても Despite saying they knew what color (happiness) was 白に統べられた部屋の中では描き出す術など無い There was no artwork done in the room controlled by white (Stella)

HΨ=EΨは何時でも 観測者達 のためにある The world always exists for the sake of the observer

円環の中　巡る少女よ Within the circle (room), a girl (Mary) returns 扉はもう開いている The door is already open for her

疲れ果て眠る人類に　子守唄歌うのは The lullaby sung to the exhausted, sleeping humanity (people) 絶望　欠乏　失望　渇望 Is an overzealous mechanical god (Deus Ex Machina) 全部まとめて消し去る Who takes their despair, wants, disappointment, and longing ご都合主義の過ぎる　機械仕掛けの神様 And erases them all at once

進みし者は　返らざる摂理に抱かれ Those who make progress are embraced by divine providence to never return 陽より逃げし廃人は　殻の中引き篭もり Invalids that run from the light are stuck inside their own shells 内に秘めたる禁忌の愛は The taboo love kept secret 自己を騙せず　果たされぬまま消える Can't fool itself and disappears, unresolved

白は微かな希望に気づきながらも If white (she) ever realizes that faint hope (light) 懐疑を抱けば　反旗と看做して Those who harbor doubt are considered rebels 大義に従い　　裁きを下す So she passes judgement according to her own justice

たとえ色彩を「知っていた」としても Despite saying they knew what color (emotion) was 黒に蝕された　虚ろな深海に　映し出す術など無い There was no artwork reflected in the hollow sea swallowed by black (loneliness)

Φは歩みし者の背後に組みあがる The world is built upon the backs of those who walk forward

独房の中　歌う少女よ Within the isolation cell (room), a girl (Mary) sings 夜明けはすぐそこに Dawn is close by for her

「劇場に満足できない者達よ　君たちは真実に興味はないかね」 "Those of you who can't be satisfied by this Theater, do you have no interest in Reality?"

クソみてぇな理由でバッドエンドを迎えてしまったワタシたち二人は、 The two of us received bad endings for some shitty reason, 腹いせにこの物語の結末をねじまげる決意をした So we decided we'll be twisting this story's ending for revenge

不変を不幸と思うなら　私達が If you feel your sadness is unending, 不当な拘束　不遜な法則 We will break unfair restrictions, unjust laws, 全てを壊して　その手を取ろう All of it, and take your hand

現実は　昏くて不確かだけれども Though reality is gloomy and uncertain 閃光の干渉が　色生み出し虹空に描き出す It's the interference of light (fate) that draws a colorful rainbow (hope) in the sky

劇場の中には無い　未来はそこにある There's nothing in this Theater (cage), the future (Qualia) lies over there

過去を発ち　進む人類よ Leaving the past (room) is the advancing humanity (Mary) 忘れること無かれ With nothing forgotten

「辿るべき道標は　その胸に――」 "The guiding light to follow is the one in your heart--"

月夜の乙女 / Maiden of the Moonlit Night Movie, Illustration: HaruAki Guitar, bass, drums, mix: haku Lyrics, music: natsu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWZvYipWymU https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm35267315

Only Gakupo can pull me out of a hiatus it seems

何かに導かれていくように A dazzling light shines 眩しく光る　その場所へ As if somehow leading me towards that place 天から舞い降りてきた　美しき乙女よ Where a beautiful maiden floated down from the heavens

うさぎ、うさぎ、なに 見て　はねる。 Rabbit, rabbit, what do you see as you hop about? 十五夜　お月さま見て　はねる I hop around while watching the large full moon 月を見つめ　悲しい顔で Staring at the moon with such a sad face 君の心は　何を思う? What do you feel in your heart?

言葉にすれば　本当になる気がして I think that if you say something, it becomes true いつか別れがくることを　聞くことさえ出来ずに Even though I couldn't listen when you said that you will leave someday 君を思うから　君が困っているなら I think of you, so if you are ever troubled この心を差し出しても　君を守りたい I will offer you even my own heart, I want to protect you いつまでも... Forever...

うさぎ、うさぎ、なに 見て　はねる。 Rabbit, rabbit, what do you see as you hop about? 十五夜　お月さま見て　はねる I hop around while watching the large full moon 見たことのない　大きな月が A large moon never seen before 君と別れの刻　告げる Marks the moment that you depart

「私がいることで　あなたの身を焦がすなら "If you burn with love for me because I am here, 黙ってこの身は　静かに Then I shall silently 消え失せてしまいましょう」 Disappear from here"

思いが溢れて　魂が溺れそうになっても My feelings overflow, as if drowning my own soul 君を失うぐらいなら　何も怖くない If losing you feels this bad, then I'm not afraid of anything

月が明るさを　増して夜が強く照らされ The growing brightness of the moonlit night shines down 最期の刻がやって来た　握りしめた君の手が Our final moment finally came, and that hand of yours that I held so tight すり抜けていく　感触がまだ残っている Slips through my fingers, until the only thing left is the feeling 繋いだ手が引き千切れても　離さなければ　良かった I wish that I had ripped off your hand, so that we may never be apart

大きな月　眺め　君と過ごした日々を The days I spent with you viewing this great moon 思い出す度に浮かぶ涙 Float through my tears whenever I remember 壊れてしまいそうな　この手足も心も My heart and my limbs sit as if broken 会う事が出来ぬなら　存在している意味もない If we can never meet again, then they no longer have meaning

君に会いたい I want to see you

菫青幻想曲 / Fantasy of Iolite Lyrics, Music: natsuP Guitar, bass, drum: haku Illustrations, movie: Haru Aki https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20726442

There were some errors in my old translation for Fantasy of Iolite, so this is a better version.

天空より　遠く広い　誰も辿りつけぬ場所 There is a place no one has discovered, more vast and distant than the heavens そう　未来を信じて　戦い続ける And so, believing in the future, we continue to fight

月と太陽が　重なるその時まで Until that time when the moon and the sun overlap 貴方を思い続け　強く咲き続けるから I'll keep thinking of you, because you blossom so powerfully

流れる時間（とき）が　輝きさえも Even the brilliance of flowing time is fading 色褪せてゆくから　早く連れ出して So I'll come to save you soon

あの子が　救えれば　それでいい That's okay, as long as I can save that girl

悲しみより　今を生きて　明日の自由　捕まえて Live in the moment rather than in sadness, seize the freedom of tomorrow 流した血の痛み　いつか消えるから Because the pain of shed blood will disappear one day 青い光　空に消えて　終わりの鐘　鳴り響き A blue light disappears into the sky, sounding the bell of the end 涙の欠片集め　永遠の輝き Collecting fragments of tears, the brilliance of eternity

あの人の為なら　なんだって　できるもの I'll do anything for that person

そして始まる Now begins

やがて目覚めてゆく　生まれ変わる自然 Soon I will wake, and be reborn anew 夢を空に描き　メロディを奏でるだけ I draw my dreams in the sky, simply playing a melody

進む時代が　終わりを告げる The era of progress marks the end 君にサヨナラさえ　言えなかった I couldn't even say goodbye to you

皆は 私の 大切な人 Everyone is important to me

昨日よりも　明日はもっと　強く強くなりたいと I want to become so much stronger today than I was yesterday 君を守りたい　願い続ける Because I always want to protect you 青い光　雲の隙間　かすかに見えた幻に The visage of a faint blue light shines between the clouds 手をかざして歌うよ　君に会いたい I reach out my hand to it and sing, I want to see you

アナタ以外　なにも　いらない I don't need anything but you

そして旅立つ And so we depart

教えて　なぜこんな風に Tell me, why are things like this どうして生まれてしまったの？ Why have we been born? 心は同じはずなのに Though our hearts should be the same 君との距離　埋められない The distance between us cannot be filled 近づいては　また見えなくなる The closer we become, the less we can see

悲しみより　今を生きて　明日の自由　捕まえて Live in the moment rather than in sadness, seize the freedom of tomorrow 流した血の痛み　いつか消えるから Because the pain of shed blood will disappear one day 青い光　空に消えて　終わりの鐘　鳴り響き A blue light disappears into the sky, sounding the bell of the end 涙の欠片集め　今ひとつになる Collecting fragments of tears that now become one

天空より　遠く広い　誰も辿りつけぬ場所 There is a place no one has discovered, more vast and distant than the heavens そう　未来を信じて　戦い続ける And so, believing in the future, we continue to fight 時よ止まれ　出会う奇跡　思い強く抱きしめて The miraculous chance that time would stop is a thought I hold very closely 君を信じたい　初めての愛 I want to believe in you, my first love

私がキミを守るから Because I will protect you

そして明日もきっと･･･ And tomorrow will certainly...

ネフナ / Nephna Lyrics, Music: Calla Soiled Video: Mozuya https://www.nicovideo.jp/watch/sm20700234

There were very slight edits to this translation, but overall the meaning is the same. I hope to continue updating my translations here.

And then I’ll catch up on Vocaloid and do new translations? Maybe...

禁断に記された　他文明との決裂 Since dividing with other cultures, thus was prohibited: 「檻族は変わらない」　それすらもただの知恵 "The caged people never change" Even that was mere wisdom

宙には不気味な超直線を描く檻族 The caged people draw an ominous, perfectly straight line in midair 木々では無いらしい壁 A wall, seemingly without trees

合成された土と土、「可哀そう」らしい The earth and the synthetic earth, both seem "pathetic" 私は何も知らない But I don't know anything

閉ざされた他文明のタブーは　ああ I wonder if the taboo of that closed-off civilization 時を経てすぐ腐るのでしょう？ Will decay in time? 背を向ける大人 The adults who turn their backs 何故、背を向ける？ Why do they turn away? それは全て無知だから It's nothing but ignorance

禁断に記された　他文明との決裂 Since dividing with other cultures, thus was prohibited: 「爬虫族は変わらない」　それだけを教わった "The reptile people never change" I was taught only that

宙には不気味な超曲線を描く爬虫族 The reptile people draw an ominous, incredibly convoluted line in midair 僕には分からない歪（ゆがみ） A deformity unknown to me

閉ざされた他文明のタブーは　ああ I wonder if the taboo of that closed-off civilization 時を経てすぐ腐るのだろう Will decay in time? 無知と知りながら While knowing it was ignorant 何故、何故、こんな気持ちになるのは Why, why do I feel this way 何故？ Why?

閉ざされた他文明のタブーは　ああ I wonder if the taboo of that closed-off civilization 時を経てすぐ腐るのでしょう？ Will decay in time? 背を向ける大人 The adults who turn their backs 何故、背を向ける？ Why do they turn away? それは全て無知だから It's nothing but ignorance

My old videos with translations in annotations have had the annotations removed. I’ll try to move the ones I want to keep to this blog.

数々の願い　科学者達が叶える The scientists grant many wishes これから君の　遺伝子回路を見る From now on, your genetic circuit is seen

あなたの宇宙に入り込んで I enter your universe ランダムにアクセスしてみる Trying to access it randomly あなたは　優しい心の持ち主 You are a kindhearted person この空間に適合する Who fits in this space

あなたの宇宙に入り込んで I enter your universe ランダムにアクセスしてみる Trying to access it randomly あなたは　優しい心の持ち主 You are a kindhearted person この空間に適合する Who fits in this space

果てしなく高次元の I search for the world that sits 果にある世界を探って At the end of the endless higher dimensions もうあなたと会うことはないけど Though we can no longer meet この空間でシンクする I sink through this space
