Telecaster B Boy (English Version)

Translation by amiaima

The more years pass, I DeDeDe

Realize I don't have a place in this world

No matter how much thought you put into it

Turned into a bird the girl will be free

Lip service will save you PaPaPa

They say while I drop my shoes on the rooftop

The digital world has cursed all of us,

So the boy will turn into the cold wind

Rocking around in a peaceful dance

You've worked hard indeed, may you enjoy your death

Telecaster B Boy

Please love me more

Lying through your teeth, you say "wo ai ni"

You're annoying, G Girl

All charms and high-tension

Is cannibalism your favorite dance?

With hands that have killed oh so many dreams,

Will you still be able to draw a masterpiece?

Telecaster B Boy

Please love me more

Is there anyone who will answer my pleas?

At first glance, these are DeDeDe

Stereo-biases and sadistic

No matter how poisonous her stingers are

Turned into a flower the girl still attracts

Even with my ears plugged I PaPaPa

Hear their voices boom louder and louder

Finally words pierced through his proud heart,

So the boy turned to have a face-to-face

Rocking around, a grand delusion

You've worked hard too, may you enjoy your death

Telecaster B Boy

Please spare a heart for me

To fill the noise with words, say "wo ai ni"

You're frustrating, G Girl

Low walls are easy to climb!

And yet you still dare to cry all of these tears

I want to forget the water on my cheeks

And all the scars the past has left on my skin

Telecaster B Boy

Please spare a heart for me

Will you remember those feelings for me?

As long as this life goes on

I'll be unable to breathe,

I'll say farewell to reality now

I hope you can forgive

How weak we all have been

Someday, let's meet in a better place...

Telecaster B Boy

Please love me more

Lying through your teeth, you say "wo ai ni"

You're annoying, G Girl

All charms and high-tension

Is cannibalism your favorite dance?

With hands that have killed oh so many dreams,

Will you still be able to draw a masterpiece?

Telecaster B Boy

Please love me more

Is there anyone who will answer my pleas?

was sooo fun to translate this!

NOTES: i think i changed the meaning a bit, but it still fits nicely with the event. i'm especially proud of ena's lines, as i was thinking about the scene of her trying to reach mizuki but failing, and the curse line too!

What's with those eyes? Of course, it's those eyes

I've seen them many times before

What's with those eyes? No, stop it!

So cute from the outside, but it tastes like sin

It's so off, so off, it's falling off.

It's so off, my head is off.

Collapsing with the weight of my one secret,

I'm breaking down, I'm sorry.

You can't understand what you've never seen, right?

Like the ghost of a flower that had just bloomed.

I can't explain myself, I can't erase it,

no matter how smudged my makeup has become.

You can't understand what you've never seen, right?

Like the ghost of a flower that had just bloomed.

I'm no longer a bud, and now, I can't go back.

What's with those eyes? Of course, it's those eyes

If you have to pity me then just disappear!

Just leave me here! Just leave me here! Just leave me here!

Please stay with me.

You can't understand what you've never seen, right?

Like the ghost of a flower that had just bloomed.

I can't explain myself, I can't erase it,

no matter how smudged my makeup has become.

If you can't understand what this future holds,

Then this ghost of a flower will soon disappear.

I'll end the curse that was born with my body... I'll stop breathing now.

Ah, that's enough!

Translation by amiaima

Do you remember that piece of paper, white as snow

So light it fluttered away with a fickle gust of wind?

That must've been the start of all, the beginning of our tale,

It must've been blown away by our laughter and the sound of our cries.

See, this is the choice I made and will make thousands more times,

Our fate looks captivating, so let's not waste time, let's answer it.

“I think I will give up on truly giving up, so I won't abandon everything now.”

We were dreaming, we were living;

Not being fast enough we lost track of our dreams,

Soon only our thoughts were left behind, and what a regret,

But certainly, the wind was blowing.

Are you perhaps still there, waiting for me?

I get it now, I hear you now;

There is a place where comfort lies beyond your cries,

You'll do everything to reach that scene, right?

So let's go.

(LaLaLa)

I was awakened by a phantom breath of hot wind,

Was it real or was it not, who decides what is and what isn't?

It can't be touched, it has no form, its shape can't be defined by anyone,

So maybe it's proof of the neverending hope in our hearts.

(This is a tribute to you)

To you, in the furthest of places,

(This is a tribute to you)

To you, who's the closest to me.

“Someday, let's forgive each other for abandoning everything and at last giving up.”

We are dreaming, we are living;

Not being fast enough we're losing track of our dreams,

Soon only our thoughts are left behind, and we're alone together,

But certainly, the wind’s still blowing.

Are you perhaps still there, waiting for me?

I get it now, I hear you now;

There is a place where comfort lies beyond your cries,

You'll do everything to reach that scene, right?

I’ll do everything to reach that scene, promise. So let's go.

(That blank piece of paper is still swaying in the wind)

Where is your SEKAI, I wonder?

(Awakened by a phantom breath of hot wind)

You have made the wind blow just now.

JOIN *slightly threatening*

I owe someone a favor, so let's do this!

You. You probably like Project SEKAI! And writing! And art! And singing! Right? Just one? Well, that’s fine! I have a place for you! Two, actually!

INTRODUCING…

SPECTRA LIGHT: Project NIJI

AAAAAND

Project Prisma: NIJI NO SEKAI

(Can you tell that they’re connected?) Basically, they’re both Project SEKAI fanprojects! There’s roles for traditional writers, voice actors, translators, art, vocal tuners/mixers, original musicians, lyricists, poets, moderators, animators and chart makers!

I want to get into the thick of it as much as you do, but first, I have to warn you of a few topics in the story. Note that the trigger warnings are different for each project!

TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR PROJECT NIJI: There may not be any dark topics in this post, but they are abundant in the story. If you are uncomfortable with self-harm, swearing, suicide attempts/thoughts, referenced SA, domestic abuse, child abuse/neglect, personality disorders, intrusive thoughts, eating disorders, or sexual references, than this isn’t for you.

TRIGGER WARNINGS FOR PROJECT PRISMA: There may not be any dark topics in this post, but they are abundant in the story. If you are uncomfortable with swearing, eating disorders, child abuse/neglect, implied suicidal thoughts, and intrusive thoughts, than this isn’t for you.

OKAY! GROUPS! YEAH! 

Project Prisma’s groups:

ἁρμονίαι έν τῇ νυκτί (harmonies in the night): "to embrace the darkness inside you"; an online group dedicated to showing everyone the depressing side of existence.

Clock Orchestra: "to find solace in the warmth of a friend"; a trio who just wants to have fun and share their music despite their differences.

NeoИxWrath: "to despise today's society"; a group of young actors who all hold something against society.

Up!coming SprinG: "to learn how to follow your dreams"; a slightly out of the ordinary idol group who wants everyone to follow their dreams, no matter how strange or impossible they may seem.

Re-tied Red Ribbon: "to accept yourself"; a group of childhood friends who desperately want to see the beautiful things in life and bring hope to everyone.

Project NIJI’s groups:

Welcome TO Purgatory, a band dedicated to showing the world the truth, no matter how uncomfortable.

Sparkling☆Smile☆Stage, a group who wants the world around them to be a little less sad (even if they’re doing much worse).

LITERALLY HELL, who wants to show you that not every story has a happily ever after.

StarSuit Go!, an idol group who doesn’t believe in letting others change who you are.

Night blossomS, an online music group with questionable PR decisions who wants to reach someone.

That’s obviously simplifying the groups a lot, but it gets the point across, yeah?

Well! Do you wanna join one? Or both? Cool!

APPLICATION FORMS:

Twilight Light (English Version)

Translation by amiaima

Our feelings come together to create our beautiful SEKAI,

So, let's smile, so let's smile, let's laugh.

If you ever lose your way, you're always welcome here,

Behind the curtains you will find the images that'll guide you on the right path.

Meeting up, while still being incomplete.

Nestling close, but still feeling unsteady.

Not yet, not yet, I just can't seem to hear your voice.

Inside the abandoned and covered mirror, inside the cocoon I have built for myself,

"Come find me, I'm here."

But the hesitation that I seek, the wishes that I wish

They're not in what I feel, I can't find them here...

This story tells of one night when we connected our extended hands,

So in the collapsing spiral of life, let's dance, let's dance.

Our feelings come together to create our beautiful SEKAI,

They resonate, they resonate, they resonate,

Hey, let's smile, let's laugh...

If you ever lose yourself, you're always welcome here,

Behind the curtains they continue on, the images you'll dive into.

Conflict and friction create boundary lines.

Discord divides us into parallel lines.

Not yet, not yet, I just can't seem to see you there.

Inside of the picture frame I'll keep chasing, inside of the box and that gentle melody,

"Come find me, I'm here."

But the pains and prayers that make us human are

Trapping me in a cage, I can't break free...

The melodies we create,

The words that will then complete them,

The colors that will give them life,

And the scenes that will make them real,

If doubt and contradictions are what's tying these together,

Then snap those strings off.

The ever-bleeding twilight will lead us here

Over and over, it's the cord that brought us together.

This story tells of one light that shone on our extended hands,

So on the fragile tightrope that is life, let's dance, let's dance.

Our feelings come together to create our beautiful SEKAI,

They resonate, they resonate, they resonate,

So, let's sing, so let's sing, let's sing...

The light is pulsing, ever so faintly,

Now, I'm looking from the perch on that tree.

Maybe someday it'll finally bear some fruits,

I wonder if then I'll be able to face you?

As the road ahead is dyed in a red light,

I'm sure the emotions that bleed into the twilight

Will resound from behind the closed curtains.

So please, let's smile, let's smile, let us smile…

[amiaima]

From Tokyo (English Version)

Translation by amiaima

Uncertainty is all I know - I realized on that day

The wind smelled of upcoming rain and then it fell

Everyone already knew that I wasn't made for this life

And yet, I struggled and crawled my way back up

Friendship multiplied by hard work is the equation to success

But as days passed by, we couldn't find a way to solve it

It's okay! We'll understand it someday

I hate the me who laughed at that with no thoughts about the future

There is a town where stars always fall

Where the memories I've abandoned wait in the dust

They stir in the depths of my heart, wanting to be revealed

I have always yearned for them

And there, in that sea of unknown faces

I heard a familiar voice, as if dancing in the air

I'll always keep searching for its source

It might only be a selfish desire, but I think it's fine

"You picked this path for passion,

So hold your head up high!"

I know that, I always repeat that to myself.

Underneath our joined fingers and overlapping breaths,

I carefully listened to the echo of my heartbeat.

I didn't have the courage to say it but,

I'm a nuisance, just an outsider.

I've decided I'll thrive here and you can't stop me!

I'm sure, our meeting here

In this tiny world, underneath this same starlit sky,

Is what I've always been searching for

It might only be someone's whim, but I think it's fine

And there, in that sea of unknown faces

I heard the voice from that day, as if dancing in the air

It's what I have been searching for

It might only be a selfish desire, but I think

I'm sure, our meeting here

In this tiny world, underneath this same starlit sky,

Is what I've always been searching for

It might only be someone's whim, but I think it's fine

Uncertainty is all I know ー but I hope that this town,

Will help the us from that fateful day grow finally

Life is so ridiculously cute

It changes who we are and makes a confusing mess

It's an unprecedented battle in history, that's what it is

Yeah, that's what 'I' am

Life is made of unexpected brawls

Coincidences lead to despair in just one night

In chorus we say why we can't be happy

It's a talk of blinding faith and treachery

Joy, confusion and thirst for knowledge are part of who humans are

You can't run away from the choices you've already made

Choose your words, be on your own side

Come on, raise your voice and let it be heard in the night

Life is so ridiculously cute

It makes us unaware that we're (still) who we are

It's an unprecedented mistake in history, that's what it is

Yeah, that's what 'I' am

Life is made of unexpected upheavals

We're captivated by angels who just want to be worshipped

They talk and talk but fail to reach an agreement

Ordinary people think in black and white

Blessings, lies, even sadness are part of who humans are

If it's what you want, you will find it sooner or later

Reincarnate again, live and experience

And then wake up to realize it was all a dream

Life is so ridiculously cute

It convinces us we can float upside down (wow) and act godlike

It's an unprecedented failure in history, that's what it is

Yeah, that's what 'I' am

Life is so ridiculously cute

It changes who we are and makes a confusing mess

It buries us under heights of hubris

Well, it seems like it can't be helped, I'll get used to it

Life is so ridiculously cute

It makes us struggle until it stops raining from our eyes

It's an unprecedented brilliance in history, that's what it is

Yeah, that's what love is

Cinema (English Version)

Translation by amiaima

All of a sudden, everyone started acting out

A scenario that had absolutely no sense.

This feels exactly like a movie,

This is exactly like a movie.

Everywhere you go, there's a story

I encountered countless mistakes on this path

How many more would I find if I reviewed it?

Are there flaws I can't see?

Is there anything bad about it?

Please tell me, if you find I'm blind to it all.

Delusions at dawn

Escapades so precious and

A misunderstood hero roleplay

A traffic jam, a line with no end in sight-

There's nothing I can do about that though.

"This isn't how it was supposed to play out."

"What was the end supposed to be then?"

I forgot the more I thought about that

Oh no, this must be wrong.

I'm not fit for situations like these

I'm not done though-

Should I quit or still act like a fool -

But nothing feels right! I always wonder, when will I

Get to be the star of this show?

Laughing every time others are better than me,

Crying every time more worries fall upon me

Feeling disappointed knowing my hopes can't be

I can't blame anyone else, and it bothers me

The brilliant lights of the city shine on me

Highlighting my features full of defeat

The time to start is right now!

Yes, let's try again, again, again

This must be wrong.

I'm not fit for situations like these

I'm not done though-

I know I could stop here, but it all,

Kept repeating thousands of times like a broken record

I'll just keep hoping for a better tomorrow.

Delusions at dawn

Escapades so precious and

A misunderstood hero roleplay

A traffic jam, a line with no end in sight-

There's nothing I can do about that though.

I recognized something back then,

An old painting or something of sorts

When was the time that I...?

All of a sudden, everyone started acting out

A scenario that had absolutely no sense.

What are you all playing at?

Who are you all trying to be?

There's no way you could be one of them, right?

Still not enough...

We aren't there yet.

I know this can't be the end

If you don't fit in

Just rewrite the entire script!

For the most part, I'm sure it'll always be me

The leading star will only be me!

Someday we'll say bye-bye

Right as the show comes to an end.

Smile wildly

For the curtain call and the applause.

I changed the future so I could finally fit in the role.

Finally how you like it, how you want it,

It's the time.

I made it here all the way from the bottom.

Just like a movie, this is my story.

You know? I just can't make up my mind

It's so messed up I can't even think

It echoes in the stage where I'm alone

This monologue

Am I incapable of doing all this?

My thoughts swirl like a merry-go-round

The more I waste time doing nothing

The more I want to achieve

Always moving forward, getting stuck

A cul-de-sac in a labyrinth?

It's a dead end... but I won't ever give up!

Let's chase stardom!

Well, where's the fun in always being alone?

Let's gather the chaotic ones

And reach for the stars

I don't think I can

I can't reach out at all. To the stars I wished on

Set up a ladder,

And let's climb, come with me all dreamers!

I won't be afraid, I won't even flinch

It seems like a hopeless act

A reckless adventure, but an amusing show

Ain't no stopping me. Now, it's showtime!!

Hey, hold on, hold on. This is weird.

My next lines, it's like they're gone......

I got lost on the stage and

The curtain fell, what a pain

Why? How come? I'm pathetic......

Popcorn didn't pop

It's getting burned, and it tastes like defeat

It tastes so bitter

Being bothered by anxiety

Is this the long way? Is my effort fruitless?

The unexpected is

The best part of the show

Well, where's the fun in taking shortcuts all the time?

Go forward! Like a rollercoaster,

Ups and downs, go full speed!

This is not funny at all

I'm pathetic. I'm never satisfied

Our dreams are like fireworks,

Let's set them off, challengers!

Even if the sky's dark, even when I cry

Blow away my melancholy

Oh, claps and spotlights, please comfort me. See?

Lift up your chin, the show must go on!!

The greed of a commoner,

One who crawls to move forward

A narcissist who fools himself

Suck it up and act like you're a star

Slay it!

Bluffing's fine! But not confidence!

Jump higher. Move faster.

Bluff on stage, even if you get scolded,

Insatiable curiosity,

It's not under my control!

It's something words can't describe. These colorful balloons filled with nostalgic dreams

They carry them away and shine brightly in the galaxy

It's not done yet, I'm not done yet

Though, I think someday......

Until the clock hands strike dawn

Dance the night away

Sing the night away with the Stardust Parade

Our stories never end. Come on and let's play,

Dreamers!

I won't ever forget, I won't let tears fall

This is not a "goodbye"

The reckless legend is here,

Loud and bold

Moves step by step

Shout out the crazy "Wonderhoy!"

I write him as

Mr. Showtime

Fixer (English Version)

Translation by amiaima

I won't be able to sleep

Until I erase all the memories I have until today

I can't help but wish that someone

Would take my place living from tomorrow on

Let me say it'll be okay, after that,

Won't you let me pin all the blame on you?

It doesn't matter anymore, so, after that,

Won't you let me pin all the blame on you?

For all the promises that I can't keep

All because of those few overflowing words,

My mind has been stolen from me,

Nothing makes sense, I can't do anything

I can't see, I want to leave, to flee, to stop, I can't avoid it

So won't you,

Let me sink

Let me sink

Until I can no longer crawl my way back up

Until I'm sick of it

Let me fall

Let me fall

Until you decide to save me from there

I bite all the screams to bits, I taste the lies,

That get locked up inside my throat

With this shoddy excuse for a smile, I let time fly by,

But I don't know what I'm talking about

I never wanted to end up like this

I wait for those sleepy ideals

To finally be useful and maybe come save me today

The first thing I say with a wide forced smile,

Powerfully, stiffly, painfully biting my lips...

Drop dead on the floor, on the floor

Don't care about your future or your past fears.

If you hate me then,

Come break me

Come break me

If that's how it's going to be, I think you can do it

Before I wearily spit out this

Heavy burden and frustration

And this barren sadness I carry with me,

Come on

Come on

It's your turn to sing

Let me sink, let me sink

Let me fall, let me fall

If that's how things are,

Dance a joyful dance

Before it all turns gray and gloomy, make some noise

Change it all, change it all

Until you fall into dreamland

If that's how things are,

Steal it all, steal it all

Dig up the many lies I've told for all to see

I was looking at the made-up image that flashed through my boiling mind that day

I was looking at myself that day

Even to those I don't know, I am presented as an incurable villain

Villain, villain

Villain, villain

Villain, villain, villain, villain

Oh My hated life, my hated life

Eventually turns to ash

I put on a mask to cover my deviant nature every single day

A stamen paired with another stamen won't get anywhere?

Hey do you know an author named Ranpo? (named Ranpo)

Come on, get a clue. Does it import you? (import you)

Someday, even artificial flowers will bear fruit

No need to look so afraid; gender isn't black and white

Let's have a talk about sadness and love, and all the things you don't like

"What?"

Mr. Crazy Villain Villain, endless possibilities mean happiness

My heart feels like a 1LDK, so let me drown in my jealousy

Hi there! My motto's YOLO, what I need is just a little love

I'm still hiding from society the skin under my clothes

I dedicate this song to all the great villains in the world

Act the part like you own it, never give up

The more cruel a town, the more beautiful its rainbow will be

Let's dance on obscene ads, decorate 'em with a pop-font love

Oh...

Mr. Crazy Villain Villain, from nocturnal petals I learned to

Wear different clothes, and pretend to be a boy in front of you!

Dear Dr. Duran Duran, I'm here for you!

Even to those I don't know, I am presented as an incurable villain

Villain, villain

Villain, villain

Villain, villain, villain, villain

Oh My hated life, my hated life

In the end everything turns to ash

[amiaima]

Hated by life itself. (English Version)

Translation by amiaima

"Don't you ever say you want to die.

Life is pretty so you shouldn't consider giving up!"

...So many people wrote lyrics like these

It's foolish to think like that.

I really wouldn't care if I died,

But I'd be sad if the people around me did

"I just wouldn't like it" is what I say;

Must be an ego of some kind.

Not caring about who lives or dies,

Hating other people seems to be a fashion trend

Should we "Live peacefully." nevertheless?

It'd be a wonderful thing if only I could...

Far away, behind a screen, someone dies;

Driven by sadness someone else decides to sing

Influenced by that song, a young boy

Grabbed a knife and ran away.

We are hated by life itself.

We prize values, ego, and all futile things,

Over radio waves everyone hears a song

About wanting to kill somebody else.

We are hated by life itself,

We who thoughtlessly say we want to die

It's because of that thoughtless action,

That life hates us with such force.

I'm still penniless when the day comes anew,

So I settle on praising the lazy, humming a tune

Could never grasp the meaning of living like this,

It's pointless to breathe is what I realized.

Are scars this deep meant to be expressed

With words like "I'm lonely.", and is it ok?

Carrying such obstinacy and abandonment,

Today again I'm the only one in bed

We once were just teens, young and vibrant,

At some point we became boring young adults.

Like leaves we'll one day fall and get crushed

And history won't bother remembering us...

Growing old to obtain immortality,

Living with no risk of dying forever...

...I'm just daydreaming about science fiction tropes again

If it were up to me I'd already be dead,

But those around me want me to live

Contradictions have become part of my reality...

I think I will get yelled at.

"Correct things should stay the way they are."

"If you don't wish to die, then fight to live."

If the end will be sad and if everyone's okay with it,

Then your laugh will resonate in the silence

We are hated by life itself.

We can't grasp the true meaning of joy,

We hate the opportunities life gives us

And curse our pasts in return.

We are hated by life itself.

We who like the idea of a goodbye too much,

It's because of our ignorance towards a true farewell,

That life hates us with such force.

Contentment, good-byes,

Affection and friendship;

You can buy all that with just a few cents...

Something you can only have in your dreams.

I might die tomorrow, don't you know?

Everything might end up being for naught.

The mornings, the nights, the springs and autumns,

They all disappear from memory when someone dies.

I don't need the uncertainty of dreams or the like,

All that matters are the days and experiences we've lived.

That's right... It would be nice to sing a song about that.

Hated by life itself

Death awaits everyone in the end

It waits for you, it waits for me

One day we'll be the ones compared to fallen leaves

Regardless of that, we fight to liveー

We shoulder our lives and frantically, we liveー

Killing, struggling,

Laughing, bearing it all

Living, living, living, living,

We just live.
