A Red Ray - Sugizo feat. Miwa Lyrics / Translation
Title: A Red Ray
Artist: SUGIZO feat. miwa
The universe was calling me
I could hear its voice
In the silence
A single ray of red light
I lost my heart
That's when I found the future
Time continues to pass
But I still don't know who I am
Bright lights, here are bright lights
Light of salvation
In the midst of despair, I cry out with a hope to live
You, flowers who bloom after plucking out their hearts
Even if the stars are gone, bright lights are still here
Once you learn that
You will change
Let go of your fear
Become strong
That's right, with love
As I continue fighting against the pain
My wounds deepen
But for what?
If I lose you who is right in front of me
What will I be left with?
Bright lights, here are bright lights
Light of salvation
Powerless against reality, all I can do is hold on to my wish
In this world that turns endlessly, you, set off on a journey
An eternal light
Even if the stars are gone, bright lights are still here
A Red Ray is still here
The universe is calling
I hear its voice
In the silence
A ray of light
As Long as I Love - TK from Ling Tosite Sigure Lyrics / Translation
Title: As Long as I Love
Artist: TK from Ling Tosite Sigure / TK from 凛として時雨
Hey boy, say it,
"Let's love, as long as we live."
Who's the one who's lost?
Touch me as long as you love me
Hey girl, think,
"There's nothing wrong with me."
But the floor you're dancing on is a wretched wasteland
Things I can't even imagine happen where I can't see them
Even the things I believe in easily goes up in flames
Things don't usually turn out how we want
And there's nothing left for me to turn back to
I struggled and cried and screamed
But all that did was scratch at old scars
Ah, I'm so weak, unable to say anything, I look up towards the darkness
Ah, The only place we can meet now is at the end of this road
Just how many truths are there, too many to count
Everyone says something different
Are you sure you can take it?
"Will you or won't you change?"
Would it be better if I were to change?
"What will the future look like?"
I don't have the slightest clue.
Ah, The night deepens without so much as a sound
Reach out your hand towards the blue darkness
Ah, The only place we can meet now is at the end of this road
Hey you, rage, say that you were decieved
Because friends are a mirage
The world falls in front of you like confetti
Ah, even if I made mistakes, even if you and I drift apart
Ah, even if you loved those mistakes, even if you lost everything
No matter what
No matter what
Hey you, how far do I have to walk
Hey You, to see the kind of world I wished for
Hey you, Why do I always end up laden with scars inside a fake?
The days I can't forget
The light I don't want to forget
I'll cling to this moment as long as I can
This scene that won't fade away is not a mistake
I'll scratch and claw at this moment as hard as I can
Let's love
As long as I live
Let's touch
As long as I love
Let's feel
As long as I touch
It's only for a few seconds
But I still hope
It's only once or twice
But I still hope
Just a few more seconds is enough
Just once or twice is enough
I just want to hear from you
I just want to see you
I want to see you
The 5 P.M. bells chimed and the crows cried out ¹
"Good children, let's all go home now."
White noise was left in my ears
Your "see you" disappeared into the sunset
God always grants inequality equally
Allows us to taste the nectar called "excuses", only to burden us with sin
God always grants talent unequally
He created a world where hard work is a thing of beauty, only to punish it.
No matter the sin, no matter the time, no matter the place
No matter the punishment, we'll be alright as long as we're together
I was the only one who thought that
I was the only one who hoped for that
That's how it feels
That's what it feels like
"Well then, promise me just one thing.
That you'll be happy no matter what."
The 5 P.M. bells cease and the lights go on
"Good children, let's all go home now."
I've forgotten your scent and your voice
Still, I believe in you even now
So let's stop shedding tears now
If you're out there somewhere, smiling
I'll name that my "happiness"
_
A reference to the chime that plays each day on 5 P.M. in Tokyo neighborhoods. Known as "Yuyake Koyake", the song is used to remind children that it is time to return home.
Subete ga Soko ni Arimasu You ni - THE SPELLBOUND lyrics / translation
Title: Subete ga Soko ni Arimasu You ni / May It All Be There For You / すべてがそこにありますように
Artist: THE SPELLBOUND
That which you desire most
May it all be there for you
Destined to be thrown to the road side
We rolled around like chess pieces
Falling, falling, it rains incessantly
Slowly, it pours down
The endless spiral of life carries on its never-ending rhythm
Ah, they're fading away too, my prayers
Being led to a single destination
Those countless, infinitely entangled threads
Ah, don't forget my end
Tightly knotted so it won't come undone
That which you desire most
Our pain that refuses to fade,
As much as our wounds that will never heal,
Connects us, carves into us
Over and over again, over and over again
I'll give this indelible wound of mine to you
Instead of a kiss
This pain that can't be healed is calling to you
Hold on to me, hold on to me
That which you desire most
May it all be there for you
Destined to be thrown to the road side
We rolled around like chess pieces
You've forgotten how to be yourself
You can't even remember how to breathe
Rows of scaffolds stretch out before us
Towards a stainless white horizon
When I trace my scars with a needle
That melody awakens you once more
I want to destroy everything
Everything that corrodes you
Who is so terribly pure, so beautiful
That nothing could take your place
Ah, don't forget my end
Tightly knotted so it won't come undone
That which you desire most
Our pain that refuses to fade,
Carries us beyond the cycle of life and death
Tears us apart, connects us
Again and again, again and again
I'll give this indelible wound of mine to you
Instead of a bouquet
This pain that can't be healed resounds
Hold on to it, hold on to it
A melody that goes around and around
The prayers that take its place
I can hear them
Shouting, cracking, shining
Melting, distorting, ending
As they embrace each other
The dazzling world
Hopes, flickers, lights
The future that encircles us
Pieces of a revolving dream
Pieces of a revolving dream
Pieces of a revolving dream
As we open the next door
Pieces of a revolving dream
The door opens for who we become next
Caught in a whiteout
The light from our torches glimmers and sways
As though it will disappear, yet it remains
Shining again and again, until the snow began to melt
Because there are still seasons we have yet to see…
Even if the footprints we've left behind fade away
This light we've kept alive will never go out
The scars we're left with now dream of melting snow
Life flickers, swaying against the wind, it shines!
If I open my closed eyes,
The dazzling sunlight may leave me bewildered but,
Because this sky holds an answer…
The grief of loss may engulf us,
But there's only one road we can take
We have no choice but to move forward
Because even the snow that's left behind will melt and glisten
We will undertake its light and shine once more!
The reason we wander this deep maze,
It doesn't matter if it's a trap, because we'll just break through!
Even if the footprints we've left behind fade away
This light we've kept alive will never go out
Those of us who are left behind now dream of melting snow
With the desire to seek out new scenery, we're burning up!
In this season buried under the snow
I am alive for a reason, so I will shine
Title: Anata Ga Inakutemo / Even If You're No Longer Here / 貴方がいなくても
Artist: Matsuri / まつり
We both knew from the start
That this relationship wouldn't last long
But we still had our hopes up
And got hurt over and over again
"Hey, we can't let it end like this."
We tried to hold on, making excuses like that
But the me of those days is no longer reflected in your eyes
I knew that too
I started to cry and held onto your trembling hands
You disappeared, without even showing me your face
Your voice that spoke turned unusually quiet and faded away
Our relationship changed as we moved forward
And now I feel nothing from your hand held in mine
Even now when we hold each other
My heart starts beating faster
Am I the only one who feels that way?
Let's not say our goodbyes over LINE
Let's talk in person
You were crying and shaking, and I couldn't see you
I couldn't even look at your face with your head turned downwards
Your voice that spoke turned unusually quiet and faded away
Crying and getting angry won't change anything
I can't hear your voice even a little
Over time, let's say goodbye to these days
I knew I could never go back
I knew I would never go back
All that was entrusted to us
Those mingled white breaths
Without shape, form or visage
Remain buried, staring off into the distance
I can't hear anything
It seems as though I can't cut through
It's like I'm sinking
Falling, falling
Touching
Captivated, uncertain eyes
Those farthest ends that no one has ever seen
Now,
I can see them between us
We will never be separated again
We won't be broken apart or unravelled
In this ensuing struggle
Sweep it away far beyond the farthest reaches of this world
Along with our breaths
Our everything,
Sweep it away far beyond the farthest reaches of this world
Along with our futures
Along with our world
Tearing this body of mine apart
It becomes visible in our eyes that look towards one another
Memories and shadows that can return
Buried far away though they may be, they remain connected
I won't let anything come to an end
These wretched fates
Conveyed to closed eyes
Deeper, deeper
Touching
Captivated, uncertain eyes
Those farthest ends that no one has ever seen
Now,
I can see them between us
Don't you know god's demand?
Don't you know god's demand?
In this war of relativism
Sweep it away far beyond the farthest reaches of this world
Along with our memories
Our everything,
Sweep it away far beyond the farthest reaches of this world
Along with our sacrifices
Along with our heartbeats
Those farthest ends that no one has ever seen
Now,
I can see them between us
We will never be separated again
We won't be broken apart or unravelled
In this ensuing struggle
Sweep it away far beyond the farthest reaches of this world
Along with our breaths
Our everything,
Sweep it away far beyond the farthest reaches of this world
Along with our futures
Along with our world
Kimi Yo Kedakaku Are - Shiyui Lyrics / Translation
Title: Kimi Yo Kedakaku Are / You, Be Noble / 君よ 気高くあれ
Artist: Shiyui / シユイ
It's like every single person is chained down
Without a doubt, we're pulled down by gravity, they say
It can't be helped, they say
Killing our reason to live
A world painted in pitch black
No matter what I draw over it, I can't see a thing
So I lie that I'm okay as I stand trembling, all alone
When I can't walk anymore, holding back my tears
If I look down, I remember
The voice saying "If you move forward, you gain two things"
At times, the past traps you
At times, dreams turn into a curse
The more I try to make my wish come true
The more I realize people are not equal
You, be noble
Don't be afraid
It's okay to move forward little by little
Go beyond destiny
Move forward again
Those who will never amount to anything should just die
"What about you then?" Someone blurted out
I've been beaten down by righteousness
So I'll replace it with my reason for living
A world where our words cannot reach each other
If you can't have faith, You have no choice but to kill
And yet you open your eyes
What do you see in this darkness?
Using strength, I erased all weakness
That day, even I, myself disappeared
Swear that you will never let anyone erase your existence again
Let that voice roar!
My heart shakes within me
Those hands and feet that move without an ounce of hesitation
Who is it all for?
At times, the past turns into a sin
At times, dreams lead to hatred
When you can no longer forgive yourself
In those very times of anger, grief and pain
You, Be noble
Don't be afraid
It's okay to move forward little by little
Go beyond destiny
Move forward again
Colorless and transparent, my self that had been fading away
Was gifted with color and strength by you
That very beautiful, ephemeral and special color
Even on my broken heart, it painted flowers, cast its light
And made us shine
The words you said to me
The warmth of your gentle hands
Your smile, your voice, your gestures
Are all so dear to me
To just be held by you
Even if it means losing something
To just be able to touch you
Even if it means hurting someone
Even if it's not something that can be forgiven
I can't erase this feeling
These thoughts that I wish would reach you
This sound, this singing voice
These gentle, warm memories
May they never disappear
The one I love dearly can only be you
Even more than now
I want to stay by your side forever
No matter how much time passes
It has to be you
Shedding bitter tears in anguish
Feeling heart warming joy
Whichever it is, because I'm with you
Everything is truly beautiful and special
Because I've already understood
The flower we raised together
Even if one day it were to wither
A new sprout will take its place, just like that
Forever and ever
I want to stay by your side
Title: Mushoku Toumei / Colorless and Transparent / 無色透明
Artist: Yutaro Yamashita / 山下優太郎
Your ghost fades, and I can no longer see it
Those bright days will never return
A single, nameless emotion seized me
My faded self, is colorless and transparent
Destined to search for a brilliant purpose
The canvas blurs into dramatization
What it seeks to regain are its lost colors
Let them remain foolish
It’s fine, because I have already forgiven them
Don't erase them for the sake of forced ideals
Distorted by pain, they can’t go back to what they once were
Even if the path ahead is paved with thorns
Everyone in the world has turned into a liar
Your wounded truths,
If only I could take their place
Then we could hold hands and exchange words even on lonely nights
Until the morning sun pierces us and we fall asleep
I fell in love again, fell into your eyes
I want to meet you even if I am born again
I remember, the tears you shed
I want to gather them all
Your ghost fades, and I can no longer see it
Those bright days will never return
My feelings that I can’t put into words are all that flow out of me
What’s left of me, is colorless and transparent
Destined to search for warmth
The canvas blurs into dramatization
What it seeks to regain are your lost colors
Let them remain foolish
You don’t have to forgive them
Your vulnerable self, hide it away
Distorted by pain, it can’t go back to what it once was
Even if the path ahead is one you must walk alone
Everyone in the world has turned into a liar
Your wounded truths
If only I could heal them
Then we could hold hands and exchange words even on lonely nights
Until the morning sun pierces us and we fall asleep
I fell in love again, fell into your eyes
I want to meet you even if I am born again
I remember, the tears you shed
I want to gather them all
Even this is truly good-bye
I can still feel you
Instantly, traces of you surround me every day
Without a doubt, in those eyes
With that same smile
In those familiar colors
We will meet again
It's visible within kindness
The fact that we lack strength
Feigning ignorance, you hid it away
Holding the future in those hands
Kindness continues to melt away inside the glass
It scatters about, and we remain unable to grasp it
Because it looks as though it will leave behind an answer
O, brilliant light
Do not shine upon that person
His shadow you cast, settles into a deep darkness
Leaving us unable to escape
Fearing kindness,
Saying that this world is not beautiful
Even if I were to imitate all its injustices,
I simply cannot deceive this voice
The weakness that exists within kindness
Was what protected me
As I am now, without fearing anything
I can go, on the path I desire
O, frigid stars in the night sky
Illuminate and embrace these pains of ours
This unceasing, overflowing grief
Will surely change shape and turn radiant
You're the only one, I descry
We've only just begun to stand by
You're the only one, I descry
We've only just begun to stand by
O, brilliant light
Do not shine upon that person
His shadow you cast, settles into a deep darkness
Leaving us unable to escape
O, frigid stars in the night sky
Illuminate and embrace these pains of ours
This unceasing, overflowing grief
Will surely change shape and turn radiant
You're the only one, I descry
We've only just begun to stand by
You're the only one, I descry
We've only just begun to stand by
Title: Kumoji no Hate / The End of the Path Between Clouds / 雲路の果て
Artist: Cocco / こっこ
From a sky torn into waves
Light flows through from a single guidepost
It's softened hemmings burn
From the steadily approaching silence
The pages of the Bible I saw a long time ago
When I remembered them, you laughed
Even if these eyes had never known light
There were still things I shouldn't have seen
If this body never knew you
These memories I drag along with me wouldn't have existed
These fingers strumming a contrabass guitar
Are far too young to protect only myself
A kiss is buried beneath petals
As a dull bell stings my ears
The dancer engulfed in sadness
Had a taste of her legs being crushed and sang
Even if these eyes had never known light
There were still things I shouldn't have seen
If this body had never known you
These memories I drag along with me wouldn't have existed
In the distant ocean where light dances
In the night that washes over me
I can see you
If that small bird had killed its voice
If its wings had been broken at that time
If only you had held me
Would we still able to melt together into one?
Even if these eyes had never known light
There were still things I shouldn't have seen
If this body had never known you
These memories I drag along with me wouldn't have existed
Why
On these painful nights,
Do I end up thinking of you?
I carelessly began to like you
I couldn't love you because I liked you too much
You and I
You're no longer here
Tonight Tonight
I can't tell anyone yet
No matter how much I want to give up,
There's no way I could give up!
"I want to see you" are the only words that come out of my mouth
Sweet talk is useless at this point
It's already dawn
I'm glad I got to spend today with you
But at this rate, I'm sure nothing will change
Why
On nights like these, I always end up remembering you?
Even my love that scatters in this room
Now falls apart into jokes about love
You and I
You're no longer here
Tonight Tonight
I can't tell anyone yet
No matter how much I want to give up,
There's no way I could give up!
"I want to see you" are the only words that come out of my mouth
Sweet talk is useless at this point
It's already dawn
I'm glad I got to spend today with you
I'm still like this, so I'm sure nothing will change
Even if it were someone far more wonderful than you
They could never mean more to me than you do
But you're no longer here
Tonight Tonight
I can't tell anyone yet
No matter how much I want to give up,
There's no way I could give up!
"I want to see you" are the only words that come out of my mouth
Sweet talk is useless at this point
It's already dawn
I'm glad I got to spend today with you
When I woke up from my dream, today had already ended
It looks like the rain will come down even harder after noon
Fingertips trace water droplets that hurry ahead
Through the gap between the window
A breeze carrying the scent of early summer
Makes the curtain dance
A damp umbrella draws out a map
Where shall we head off to?
The rain that continues to fall
Will certainly erase the footprints you left behind
So don't worry about them anymore
Two heartbeats becoming one
A sound no one else has to know about
The two of us dozing off together, alone
This is our secret island
My mind wanders off to the scenery reflected on the screen
Half awake
Warm
Dreaming of a shooting star
Your hair strokes your cheeks
The silence is deafening
Suddenly I open my eyes
Once everyone else disappears from our world
Where shall we head off to?
The rain that continues to fall
Will certainly erase the footprints you left behind
So don't worry about them anymore
Two heartbeats becoming one
A sound no one else has to know about
The two of us dozing off together, alone
This is our secret island
This is our secret island
This is our secret island
As long as I'm with you
The heavy walls around me crumble and fall
The fiddleheads glisten
If the rain stops
Summer will surely come around again
