Whew, I've been sitting on this one for a while. I wanted to wait until a digital release came out, but, since they've just released a dance practice video for Evil Gloria (as well as spotlights for each member) and still haven't said anything about a digital release for any of their, like, four new songs, I'm going to assume that it's not coming out any time soon. So, whatever. I'll do it now.
While all of AdamLilith's costumes are beautiful, I think these ones might take the cake. The main costumes, and even the set costumes. Both sets of costumes (alongside the set design) work together seamlessly in this MV to create an amazing atmosphere— this regal splendour that's hiding something sinister underneath. And this is their first proper MV!
Amai dake de ajikenai ne
Sore nano ni tokekondeiru
Ano hito no sei kono hito no sei
Nagetsukete tokekondeiru
It’s dull with only sweetness
Nevertheless, I continue to blend in
That person did it, this person did it
Throwing around blame to keep blending in
足並みをただ揃えて統制
自意識は不純物
ならどうぞ 捨てようと
ワタシダケガワタシ
Ashinami wo tada soroete tousei
Jiishiki wa fujunbutsu
Nara douzo sute you to
Watashi dake ga watashi
Just setting the pace
Self-consciousness is an impurity
If so, then go ahead, try to throw it away
I am only me
Mariage Mariage
君と重なって抗って踊れ
汚れた指で優しく撫でて
禁じられた朝まで
Kimi to kasanatte aragatte odore
Kegareta yubi de yasashiku nadete
Kinjirareta asa made
With you, overlap, resist and dance
With tainted fingers, caress it gently
Until the forbidden morning
Mariage Mariage
何もいらないよ それ以外全部
残穢に囚われたいの
Nani mo iranai yo sore igai zenbu
Zan’e ni torawaretai no
I don’t need anything, anything else
I want to be trapped in the filth
夢の中ですら張る虚勢
嘘ついて溶け込んでいる
枯れた声で求めた個性
届かずに溶け込んでいる
Yume no naka de sura haru kyousei
Uso tsuite tokekondeiru
Kareta koe de motometa kosei
Todokazu ni tokekondeiru
Even playing this pretense within a dream
Lying and blending in
A dried up voice with desirable individuality
It’s blending in and won’t reach anyone
持つだけ無駄な心の温度
冷え切った期待値
でもなぜか信じたい
ワタシダケガワタシ
Motsu dake muda na kokoro no ondo
Hiekitta kitaichi
Demo naze ka shinjitai
Watashi dake ga watashi
Possesing only a useless heart’s temperature
The expected value has become chilled
But, for some reason, I want to believe
That I am still just me
Mariage Mariage
君と交わって傷ついてみたい
悲しみまでも温もりだから
どんな痛みも綺麗で
Kimi to majiwatte kizutsuitemitai
Kanashimi made mo nukumori dakara
Donna itami mo kirei de
With you, I want to try to mingle and hurt
Even when sadness is warmth
That kind of pain is also beautiful
Mariage Mariage
苦い過去だって着飾って魅せる
最期に笑顔を添えて
Nigai kako datte kikazatte miseru
Saigo ni egao wo soete
Because that bitter past has been dressed up and charmed
Live up to that final smile
Mariage Mariage
どんな朝だって夜だって越えて
見つけた自分信じてみたい
きっと君とならもっと
Donna asa datte yoru datte koete
Mitsuketa jibun shinjitemitai
Kitto kimi to nara motto
Beyond even morning and night
I want to believe that I’ve found myself
But, with you, I’ll surely become more
Mariage Mariage
何もいらないよ それ以外全部
残穢でも構わない
Nani mo iranai yo sore igai zenbu
Zan’e demo kamawanai
I don’t need anything, anything else
I don’t care if it’s filth
Mariage Mariage
Mariage Mariage
残穢に囚われたいの
Zan’e ni torawaretai no
I want to be trapped in the filth
(Notes)
*Mariage is French for marriage. I thought it was a misspelling at first, but I think it’s actually supposed to be the French word. Marriage (English) is pronounced like マリッジ (marijji) in Japanese, but in this song they’re saying it more like メリアジュウ (meriajuu) which is closer to the French pronunciation.
Final Thoughts: This song is so good. The lyrics really get you thinking. Unfortunately, I’m not very good at this whole “thinking” thing, so I have no theories for this one.
UPDATE— OCT 7:
They've finally released this song (and more) on streaming platforms!
WHEW. This one was hard. There was so much English in this one, which, on top of being difficult to make sense of on its own, had the added headache of trying to format it. This song, alongside Kyousou shapeshifter and HIzumi Sekai (I don't wanna talk about it), is one of the songs I've been working on for a while due to difficulty. But, I'm happy with it now, and I think it's good enough to post. Yay!
The dance for this one is so good, but I think I still like Koumori and Anti-Dystopia's choreography a bit better. Btw, WHEN are they going to release the new songs??!?! Anti-Dystopia and Break it now sound so good, but I can't listen to them anywhere else because there's no releases or MVs. I guess they're doing the same thing that they did with Adam, and just saving up a whole bunch of songs till they have enough to post a full album. Is the next album gonna be called Lilith? What am I even talking about anymore, lmao.
Also, can we talk about how Rizu keeps messing up the name of Break it now when she shares the setlist on X? It's so cute.

Final Thoughts: LOVE ME LOVE ME LIKE THAT— Oops, wrong song.
I don't really have much to say about this one. It's kind of like PLASTiC SYNDROME in that it's exactly what it says on the cover (title).
