After the Rain- Tokyo Clone (東京クローン) English Lyrics

ハイセンスナンセンス

ぶっ壊してオッケー

High-sense nonsense

Beat the shit out of it, ok?

アンハッピーぶった世界を壊してください

道行く人の波は　お手元の画面に涙

感情が電波に乗ってバグっちゃうわ

Destroy this unhappy, sob-story of a world

Waves of people in the street cry at the screens in their hands

Everyone’s emotions swing with their signal and they’re bugging out

本当を聞かせて？

本当です

なら目を合わせて？

うるさいなあ

Tell me the truth?

It’s the truth

Then look me in the eyes?

stfu

泣いて泣くほど手を叩いてさ

言葉の裏の裏

買い直した素顔で実際の心境は？

I’ve done the crying. I’ve clapped my hands so hard that I've cried

On the other side of every word

And behind that bareface you paid to fix, what’s your actual mental state?

今日も一日0点で完　はい

ぱっぱらぱなしで問題はない　はい

うざいくらいの正論に凹んだ今日は燃えないゴミの中へ

Got a 0 today and that’s a wrap. ‘Kay!

Not gonna clean up everywhere, not gonna do my share. ‘Kay!

All these annoying ideologies are bringing me down, so they’re going out with the unburnable garbage today

どろん

東京クローン　近未来は表の裏で踊る

映えない日常を捨てたら　今日から本当のボクら

東京クローン　どうしてなんで　常識も何も壊せ

上下なんて関係ないぜ　好きに踊ればいい

明日が来るまで

k bai

Tokyo Clone, the near-future dances behind what’s on the surface

If we throw away these un-instagrammable lives, we could start being our real selves

Tokyo Clone, why are we like this? Common sense, anything, destroy it

Hierarchies don’t mean anything here! Just dance how you like

Until tomorrow comes

目に映る世界を暴いてください

間に合わせじゃ意味ないし

貼り付けた仮面はどれも

ハイセンスなふりして失敬だわ

Expose how the world is reflected in your eyes

Not like it matters if you make your deadlines

Each of these pasted masks

Act like they’re high-sense; what a disgrace

どうだっていいこと　有象無象を集めた

それが都会とかいうモンスターなんだ

Pointless things draw the masses

That’s the monster this city is

あー切って貼って　正しいってなるなら

願ったもの全て叶いそう

そりゃ結構　期待はしないぜ

Ah, cut and paste, as long as it becomes “right”

Anything you wish for can come true, apparently

Well, no thx. I’m not gonna get my hopes up

生まれ持ったカードで

勝敗決まる賭博みたいな

イカサマのしようもない

しょうもない人生というゲーム

The cards I was born with

Decide the outcome of this gamble

There’s no way to cheat

This cheating game of life

長考したって何も変わらない　どう転んでも

ならばいっそ終わってしまえばいい

Thinking long and hard won’t change anything, this life doesn’t give out good lemons

I just want to get it all done and over with

今日も一日0点で完

ぱっぱらぱなしで問題はない

どうだって何も変わりやしないさ

妄想をぶちまけて

Got a 0 today and that’s a wrap

Not gonna clean up everywhere, not gonna do my share

Not like I can change anything anyways

Let your delusions run wild

どろん

東京クローン　誰だって　モラル　トレンド被せ

消えない傷なんてむしろ特別さ　洒落て見えるぜ

東京クローン　似通った　服着てボクと歌おう

上下なんて関係ないぜ　好きに踊ればいい

明日が来るまで

k bai

Tokyo Clone, everyone, anyone, wear the morals and trends

Permanent wounds are what’s really special. They look lit as fuck

Tokyo Clone, I wear the same clothes as everyone elseー sing with me 

Hierarchies don’t mean anything here! Just dance how you like

Until tomorrow comes

東京クローン wow

Wow　���京クローン

Tokyo Clone, wow

Wow, Tokyo Clone

君が泣きそうな夜へ

For the nights you want to cry

東京クローン wow

wow　東京クローン

Tokyo Clone, wow

Wow, Tokyo Clone

ボクらトんでいくぜ

We’re gonna go all out!

ハイセンスナンセンス

ぶっ壊してオッケー

High-sense nonsense

Beat the shit out of it, ok?

Kuroki (produced by MikitoP)- Dear Mom. English Lyrics

何気ない一言に苛む あたしの呼吸はまだ荒れている 言葉の裏を 読み違えても 期待をしない人間などいない

I'm tormented by a casual remark My breathing is still uneven Even if I read the underlying meaning of the words wrong Everyone has their expectations

それって自己肯定感が足りない? 原因なんて知らない 愛されて生まれて来たなら この気持ちはどうして? 夜に咲いて消える徒花 何をしていても どこか満たされない躰

Is it because I don't have enough self-confidence? I don't know why I don't If I was born to be loved Then why do I feel like this? Blooming then fading into the night, I'm a fruitless flower No matter what I do I feel like something's missing from this body

寄るべき無き孤独な心臓は 悲劇のヒロイン 演じてる 駅のホームで 蹲ってみても 声をかける神様などいない

This solitary heart left with no place to go Is playing the role of a heroine from a tragedy Even when I try curling up on the station platform There's no God to reach out to me

まだまだ悲壮感が纏えない 経験だって乏しい イエスといえば喜ばれる 違和感だけ感じて 夜を潰した ホタルのような微かな明かりに 何を求め彷徨う? タイミング見はからい センチメントリズム

It's still too early to treat myself like a tragic hero My amount of experience is destitute Everyone else is happy when I say “yes” But I just feel uncomfortable. I crushed the night Like a firefly drawn to the faintest lights What am I wandering and searching for? Waiting for the right timing Sentimentalism

放課後 待ち合わせの 音楽室 赤く染まる 唇が触れ合う時 汗ばむ ブラウスを 気にしているだけ

After school, we meet in the music room Dyed in red The moment our lips touch All I can think about Is how gross and sweaty my blouse feels

干渉しないでよ ねえママ 干渉しないでよ ねえママ ズタズタにしないでよ ねえママ ズタズタにしないでよ ねえママ

Don't interfere, hey mama Don't interfere, hey mama Don't rip this up, hey mama Don't rip this up, hey mama

それって自己肯定感が足りない? 原因なんて知らない 愛されて生まれて来たなら この気持ちはどうして? 夜に咲いて消える徒花 何をしていても どこか満たされない あなたの愛情はどこで間違えたの Dear Mom… Dear Mom…

Is it because I don't have enough self-confidence? I don't know why I don't If I was born to be loved Then why do I feel like this? Blooming then fading into the night, I’m a fruitless flower No matter what I do I feel like something's missing Where did your love go wrong Dear mom… Dear mom…

Hi I was looking at the REM translation and uou mentioned in tags that the song distresses you? I'm curious as to why- Like is there lore behind it that I need to know?? AND YES IT DOES SLAP LIKE ONE OF MY FAVS

There's not really any hyper-specific lore behind it (I think most people have already deduced that REM is a song in the same vein as their other song "Insomnia" from Kuro Crest Story) but idk the existentialism dread is just so real in REM 😂 Like I totally relate experiencing things in life that make you really happy but then simultaneously feeling like you're gonna die soon when too many good things happen at the same time LOL In my personal interpretation, I feel like the lines that say "How much longer will I see you? / What kinds of things will I see?" are talking about having concerts and how many more times AtR will be able to see their fans and the view from the stage looking at all the penlights. Since I live in Japan now and have been super blessed to be able to go to their concerts (and have worked so hard to be able to work here!!!) that those lines hit me harder cause I'm like AHHHHHH what if one day I go to one of their concerts and it's the last time I ever get to see them and I don't know 😭

And then the next part that reaalllyyyyyyy distresses me is the bridge(?) part that says "My hemisphere of a heart is the Libra, counting down on its fingers, waiting/ I can still sing. How many times have I told myself that?" because Mafu does have some health conditions that make performing hard on him, so to me, those lines sound like that basically he's saying his heart's a ticking time bomb and despite all his health issues, he has to keep encouraging and convincing himself that he can still sing AND THAT MAKES ME SAD

But ye REM slaps hehe

Soraru & Rib- Alocasia (アロカシア) English Lyrics

再会って　怖いよね

それぞれのテリトリー

夕立はもう上がりそうさ

みてよ　背中は汗ばんでる

Reunions are scary, aren’t they?

Each with their own territory

It looks like the rain will stop soon

Look. My back is drenched with sweat

夢の中　呼びかけた

そばに来て欲しいよって

聴こえたのは懐かしいメロディ

過去に囚われた　苦いイノセンス

In my dreams, I called for you

Saying that I want you to come closer

What I heard was a nostalgic melody

A bitter innocence trapped in the past

蘇るこの感情に

名前をつけてくれないか

もう一度　愛してくれないか

抗えない夜の情事に

罪悪感など　大した悪じゃない

揺れるアロカシア

Tu Lu Lu…

These rekindled feelings

Won’t you please give a name to them?

Won’t you please love me again?

In this irresistible night affair

Guilt isn’t the greatest evil

The alocasia sways

Tu Lu Lu…

矛盾だらけさ　君も僕も

再会って　不思議だね

腐れ縁か必然か

絡んだ糸　解く暇さえ

惜しくなるよ　せわしない

タンデム　ナイトフライト

We’re full of contradictions, both you and me 

Reunions are strange, aren’t they?

Is this a toxic relationship? Or a necessity?

Even the leisure of untangling these threads

Is a moment too precious to spare. A hectic

Tandem night flight

どちらが月で太陽か？

輝きたいって願うこと

消えたくないって足掻くこと

ナンセンスな蟠りを捨て

ただ歌うことで　暦は巡った

なびく a lonely plant

Which one of us is the sun and which is the moon?

Wishing, saying we want to shine

Struggling, saying we don’t want to lose this

Throwing away my nonsensical grudges

Just by singing, I cycled through the seasons

A lonely plant flutters

言葉を整理しても

どうして離れてしまったんだ

散らかる一方だよ

考えても無駄さ

窓べにただ飾る　思い出

苦いイノセンス

Even if I organize my thoughts

Why did we break up

Everything is just getting messier

There’s no use thinking about it

My memories simply decorate the windowsill

Bitter innocence

蘇るこの感情に

名前をつけてくれないか

もう一度　愛してくれないか

抗えない夜の情事に

罪悪感など　大した悪じゃない

黄昏に咲く徒花よ

色褪せずに　そこにあるさ

見境をつけた旅の途中

君と僕らにはどんな花が似合う？

These rekindled feelings

Won’t you please give a name to them?

Won’t you please love me again?

In this irresistible night affair

Guilt isn’t the greatest evil

Oh, the fruitless flower blooming in the twilight

It hasn’t faded. It’s still there

I learned how to tell black from white on my journey

Which flower suits you and us?

揺れるアロカシア

Tu Lu Lu…

なびく a lonely plant

The alocasia sways

Tu Lu Lu…

A lonely plant flutters

Soraru & Rib- YES and NO (YES to NO / YESとNO) English Lyrics

YESかNOか二択しかなくてまた悩んで答えられなくて

制限時間のわずか5秒前　両方を丸で囲んだ

Yes or No? There’s only two choices, but I’m having trouble answering again

Only 5 seconds until time’s up. I circled both of them

右か左か行き先はどっちだ　立ち止まって歩き出せなくて

優柔不断って君に言われたっけな　信号が赤に変わった

Right or left? Which way should I go? I’m stuck and can’t keep walking

You mentioned that you’re indecisive… The light turned red

冷たいものがいいな　いや、熱いほうがいいな

折り合いつけらんない窮状　面倒な感情

もう独りにしといて　でも独りにしないで

背中合わせで呟いた

Something cold sounds nice. Actually, something warm sounds better

The agony of not being able to meet in the middle. It’s a pain

Just leave me alone already, but don’t leave me alone

We muttered back-to-back

まるで太陽と月のように　表と裏のように

対照的な二人が今日も僕の体ん中でずっと睨み合ってる

君を好きになって　嫌いになって　満たされて　虚しくて

わからなくなってしまう　だけど

まあ、いっか　その両方の自分を抱きしめてあげれば

Just like the sun and the moon, like heads and tails

The two conflicting people inside me keep glaring at each other again today 

They love you, hate you, feel fulfilled, and empty

I don’t understand anything anymore but

Well, I guess it’s fine, as long as you embrace both sides of me

幸か不幸か世界は無関心で僕らがそっと入れ替わっていても

誰ひとり気づかないみたいだ　君以外は

Fortunate or Unfortunate? In this apathetic world, even if we secretly swap places

It feels like nobody notices. Except you

斬新な色がいいな　いや、無難なほうがいいな

永遠に混ざんないパレット　描いた劣等

もう生きるのは嫌だ　でも生きていたいんだ

独り言を吐き出して吸い込んだ

Wow yeah

Bold colors sound nice. Actually, muted ones sound better

Our palettes never mix. We drew our inferiority

I’m tired of being alive, but I don’t want to die

I spit out my monologue and breath it back in

Wow yeah

勇敢で臆病で単純で不可解な二人の僕が��と出会った

教えてよ　君が愛してくれた僕はどっち？

Courageous and cowardly, simple and enigmatic, my two selves met you

Tell us. Which is the one you loved?

まるで太陽と月のように　表と裏のように

対照的な二人が今日も僕の体ん中でずっと睨み合ってる

君を好きになって　嫌いになって　満たされて　虚しくて

わからなくなってしまう　だけど

まあ、いっか　その両方の自分が自分だ

Wow yeah

YESもNOも

Just like the sun and the moon, like heads and tails

The two conflicting people inside me keep glaring at each other again today 

They love you, hate you, feel fulfilled, and empty

I don’t understand anything anymore but

Well, I guess it’s fine, both sides of myself are me

Wow Yeah

Both YES and NO

After the Rain- Red Sprite (レッドスプライト) English Lyrics

弱気なビート　それにリプライ

君は居ても立っても居られない

ボクら当然　クズの集まり

仇になって返してる罪と罰

A weak beat, then a reply

You just can’t sit still

It’s obvious: we’re a bunch of trash

Returning crimes and punishments with a vengeance

超高層トリック　ショーケース

裁定者不在の遠隔性インファイト

A high-rise trick, a showcase

The arbiter’s absent for this remote in-fight

スプライト　感電疑惑　トレス

Sprite: Suspicion of shock: Trace

レッドスプライト　感電疑惑　トレス

レッドスプライト　感覚派アクトレス

レッドスプライト　曖昧さなく奴隷

Red Sprite: Suspicion of shock: Trace

Red Sprite: An emotion-driven actress

Red Sprite: Unambiguous slaves

The illusion leaves speed in the dust

レッドスプライト　結局さボクらは

レッドスプライト　偶像になるんだな

レッドスプライト　暗転した全部を

彼方へ飛ばしてしまいたい

Red Sprite: After all, we’re just

Red Sprite: Gonna become graven images

Red Sprite: Everything’s taken a turn for the worst

And I wanna send it all flying

無粋なツイート　それにリプライ

君はどんな意味を見出すの？

解釈の違いらしい　つまり軽はずみ

仇になって返してまた　恥晒して

A boring tweet, then a reply

What kind of meaning do you find in this?

Looks like a misinterpretation, a slip, essentially

You return with a vengeance and disgrace yourself 

曖昧さ回避　証明

排斥ロマンス　エキセントリック断罪ショー

Avoiding ambiguity and proof

Boycotted romance, an eccentric condemnation show

レッドスプライト　真相は合ってない

レッドスプライト　心臓は鳴ってない

レッドスプライト　歓声は確かに

深く刺さったガラスの涙

Red Sprite: Our truths aren’t lining up

Red Sprite: My heart’s not beating

Red Sprite: The cheers were evidently

Piercing tears of glass 

レッドスプライト　結局さボクらは

レッドスプライト　信頼がないんだな

レッドスプライト　暗転した全部を

彼方へ飛ばしてしまいたい

Red Sprite: After all, we just 

Red Sprite: Don't trust anyone

Red Sprite: Everything’s taken a turn for the worst

And I wanna send it all flying

アンハッピーぶった世界を壊してください

道行く人の波は　お手元の画面に涙

感情が電波に乗ってバグっちゃうわ

Waves of people in the street cry at the screens in their hands

Everyone’s emotions swing with their signal and they’re bugging out

Then look me in the eyes?

Hi! Would you consider doing translations for Mafu’s band, now that he’s alluded directly to them at his concert?

If you're talking about Kamiboku, I actually translated all of their album 20XX forever ago! But I was like a super beginner to translating so just be warned. I feel like I was like the equivalent of walmart brand utaite translations back then LOL I think at least now I might be Target 😂

As for their newer stuff, ehhhhh I probably wouldn't be able to get around to it until next year at the earliest if I do decide to translate them. After I finish up what I have left of AtR and Sorarib, I have a book that I've been wanting to translate for a while, so I probably wouldn't be taking on any additional side projects. But, I will consider it lol

After the Rain- How to Make Trash (Garakuta no Tsukurikata / がらくたの作り方) English Lyrics

燦爛と輝く人生 その実不安に蝕まれて

夢を語る日々に溺れ ほら一兵卒に成り下がる

A brilliant and sparkling life, it’s actually riddled with worms and being eaten alive by anxiety

Drowned in the days I spoke about my dreams, I’m now downgraded to a foot soldier

スキスキスキの十面相 その裏唾を吐き捨てていた

形無しだったの誰のこと 言うまでなく僕のこと

The two-faced masks saying, “I love you, I love you, I love you,” on the inside, they’re hissing, saliva spitting

Who has no character? It goes without saying that they mean me

お願いもう放っておいて 欠片ほどの興味もない

君と競ったつもりもないのに

なんだよ 厭だなあ

Please, just leave me alone already. I don’t even have a sliver of interest in you

Even though I never wanted to compete with you

What is this? This sucks

誰かのために唄うだとか

もうそんな惰性聞き飽きてんだ

いちいち口に出さないと気が済まないらしい

Things like singing for somebody else’s sake

I’m tired of hearing about this ritual

It feels like no one’s satisfied until they whine about every little thing

言いなりばかりの音楽で 人形のように踊ったら

君の言えることなんて５文字にも満たない

そうだろう

If I just make music like how I’m told to and dance like a doll

Then whatever you want to say will be less than 5 characters long

Won’t it

アイツが成果をあげたらしい 拍手喝采で一晩経った

君は親指をかじっては あーだこーだと泣き喚く

It looks like that guy accomplished something. There’s a round of applause and then the night’s over

You wail that the reason you’re biting your thumb is because of this and that

甘言に涎を垂らし 傀儡 透明な糸引きまして

吸っては吐いての繰り返し

同じ穴の狢

Puppets drool over honeyed words and pull a transparent string

Inhaling and exhaling, it repeats

They’re birds of a feather

否定したって君が肯定されるわけじゃない

雑言背負っては積み木崩して

厭だなあ 厭だなあ

Even if I denied it, there’s no way I can agree with you

Shouldering curses, the building blocks crumble

This sucks, this sucks

赤点だらけの毎日は

存外退屈じゃないもんで

誰に笑われようとも何ひとつ気にならない

Having a life covered in red ink

Isn’t as boring as I thought

Even if it looks like I can laugh at anyone, I’m not interested in a single thing

憧れたものがあったのに

手さぐりの視界が惑わし

夢のひとつと知らずに

握りつぶしていた 今日の午後

I had someone that I admired but

My line of sight disoriented me because I was always groping for something

Without ever realizing a single dream

I crushed them all this afternoon

片手間で愛を謳っては あいつが嫌い そいつが嫌い

どうでもいいようなことばかり よだれ垂らしてさ

誰かを小馬鹿にした口で 君を守りたいとか

寒気のする台本に酔っている

To those that sing of love in their free time, I hate you, and I hate you too

You only froth at the mouth over meaningless things

Saying things like, “I want to protect you,” with the same mouth you use to belittle someone else

It gives me chills how drunk off a script you are

誰かのために唄うだとか

もうそんな惰性聞き飽きてんだ

いちいち口に出さないと気が済まないらしい

Things like singing for somebody else’s sake

I’m tired of hearing about this ritual

It feels like no one’s satisfied until they whine about every little thing

言いなりばかりの音楽で 人形のように踊ったら

目を背けることくらい

誰にも縋らずに決めてみろ

If you’re just going to make music like how you’re told to and dance like a doll

Then I dare you to decide that you’re not cling to anyone,

And even turn your eyes away from them

After the Rain- World Sick Boys and Girls (Sekai Shikku ni Shounen Shoujo / セカイシックに少年少女) English Lyrics

常夜の下 灯るロウソク

ソーダの海と 氷の実と

フォレノワール

In the never-ending night, candles are lit

There’s a sea of soda, fruit made of ice

And Fôret noire

アーチの上 響いたテノール

ふたりで指差した 夏の大三角

Tenor resounded above the arch

And our fingers pointed at the summer triangle

涙を飲んだら

マクスウェル 想像でディベートして

今日が (終わる)

前に (前に)

溜め息ごと 星座に縫っていこう

If you live drinking tears

Then debate Maxwell’s fantasies

Before

The day is over

Let’s weave through the constellations with each of our sighs

世界、恣意的愛ヲ謳ウ

どれだけ今日を捨てたって

つまり誰かが望んで描いた昨日だろう

This world, it arbitrarily sings of love,

No matter how many days we threw aside

That just means our yesterdays were painted for and wished by somebody else

ねえ 明日を願っちゃいなくたって

ボクら大人になるんだよ

なんてセカイシックかな

ネームレス 少年少女

Hey, even if we never wish for tomorrow to come

We’re still going to become adults

Oh, how world sick we are

Nameless boys and girls

ねえ お願い 振り向かないで

この傷は君にも 見せたくなかったんだ

Hey, please, don’t turn around

I didn’t want to show these scars to you too

誰もいない 小道を選んで

うつむいて探すんだ 夏の大三角

Picking a path with no people

We hung our heads, searching for the summer triangle 

右も左も 見慣れないフリしているだけ

きっとわかりたくもないことばかりだ

両目をシャットして

Left and right, we’re just pretending we haven’t seen any of this before

There were only things I never wanted to understand

Shut both of your eyes

あんなに愛していた物も

3日眠ってしまえば

何処にあるのか

居場所も知らずに夢を見る

Even the things I loved dearly

When I fall asleep for three days

I forget where they are

Without even knowing where I am, I continue dreaming

ねえ 忘れられた瞬間に

ボクら何処へ行くのだろう

ずっとここに居たいな

正気さ 少年少女

Hey, when we’re forgotten

Where do we go?

I want to stay here forever

We’re sane boys and girls

ああ

世界、恣意的愛ヲ謳ウ

全てが消えてしまったって

ボクは何のため 呼吸を探しているのだろう

Ah

This world, it arbitrarily sings of love,

Even if everything disappears

For what reason am I searching for my breaths?

ねえ 誰も望んじゃいなくたって

ボクら大人になるんだよ

なんてセカイシックかな

ネームレス 少年少女

Hey, even if we never wish for tomorrow to come

We’re still going to become adults

Oh, how world sick we are

Nameless boys and girls

夜空が 泣いて 手を振るように落ちていく

両目を 失ってまで得たんだ

見えないままでいい

未だ泣きだすような 心でも

存外 ハローグッバイ おやすみ

The night sky cried, pouring down as if it was waving us goodbye

I took it all in, all of it until I lost both of my eyes

I don’t mind if I can never see again

Even if it feels like my heart may suddenly burst into tears

This is unexpectedly a hello, a goodbye, and a goodnight

After the Rain- The Blindfolded Girl and Mirage (Mekakushi Shoujo to Shinkiro / 目隠し少女と蜃気楼) English Lyrics

深く閉ざされた夜空を色づける

ちいさな世界の優しい話

This is a tender storyー one that colors the night sky

And a small world locked deep inside of it

黒く疎まれた嘘吐きなカラスと

いつも目隠しの少女の話

This is a story about a black and shunned liar of a crow

And a girl who always wore a blindfold

投げつけられた石の数なら

数え切れるものじゃないけど

爪の手足の　黒い翼の

ボクにできること

I can’t even begin to count

The number of stones that have been cast at me

But with my talons and feet, my wings black and sleek

What I can do is

眩しい世界を夢見る君へ歌う

しゃがれた声　嘘で塗り固めたストーリー

その不器用な瞼の向こう　ちょっと期待させたら

笑う君を見ていたい

Sing of a brilliant and shining world to you, always lost in a dream

With my hoarse voice, I tell my stories plastered with lies

If I’ve managed to spark a glimmer of hope behind those awkward eyelids

Then I want to see you smile

「優しいあなたを一度見てみたいなあ」

ボクは笑うだけ　言葉がないや

いつか君が光を戻した時は

どこか飛び去ってしまえばいいや

“Oh, you’re so kind. I wish I could see you at least once.”

All I do is laugh. I have no words

One day, when you turn the lights back on 

I should just fly somewhere far away

水をくぐった石塔の

瓦礫に咲いた花を摘んで

ランラララ　ラララーラッター

鼻歌なんていつ以来だっけ

From the stone tower past the water

I pluck a flower blooming in the ruins

La-lalala lalala-latta

How long has it been since I’ve hummed like this?

ろくでもないこの生涯で

やっと生きる意味を知ったんだ

やっと笑えたんだ

My whole life has been worthless

And I finally learned why I’m alive

I finally smiled

悲しい未来は啄んで愛を運ぶ

黒い羽がたとえ醜いと言われたって

この不都合な身体も　君にちょっとだけ明日を

教えてあげられるんだ

The sad future pecks at us and carries a love

Even if people call these black wings ugly,

With this troublesome body, I can at least

Tell you a little bit about tomorrow

永久に響け鳥の歌　蜃気楼の世界は

ふたりだけに許された　箱庭の夢の中

物語じゃ語られない　ありふれた幸せが

ふたりの望んだ　ふたりだけの世界

Eternally sounding birdsong and a world of mirages

Are inside a sandbox dream only us two are allowed in

A mere story can’t convey the simple happiness

The two wished for. A world for just the two of them

After the Rain- Hello, Musica (ハロームジーカ) English Lyrics

「君が零した涙の道を

必死に追いかけてここまで来た」

振り向いた先には息を切らした赤い顔

“I got here by frantically following

Your trail of tears.”

When I turned around, I saw your red face, out of breath

君は無理やり僕の手を握る

「君の悲しみが悲しいんだ

僕に半分だけ背負わせてくれないかな　いいだろう？」

You grabbed my hand

“Seeing you sad makes me sad.

You can at least let me carry half your pain, can’t you?”

氷ついた心を溶かす

炎のように熱い掌

Like a flame, your warm hand

Melts my frozen heart 

聴かせてムジーカ

君が歌えば世界中に響くメロディ

風の吹く日も涙の日だって咲く一凛のラブソング

Let me hear you, Musica

When you sing, the melody echoes around the world

On the days the wind blows, even the days you cry, a love song blooms

群青は今日も夜を染めてく

眩しすぎると俯く僕と

お構いなしに手を引く変わらない君だ

The night’s going to be dyed in aquamarine again today

It’s too bright and I hang my head

You pull my hand and, as usual, aren’t phased by it

本当はもう気付いていたんだ

君からは逃げられやしないこと

ずっと昔に涙は乾いていたこと

The truth is, I’ve already realized it

That I can’t escape you

That my tears dried long ago

できっこないと忘れた明日も

盲いるほど求め続けて

転んでも君がいるなら

それでも共に行こう

A tomorrow where you forget you can’t do anything

Keep searching for one until it makes you blind

If you’re still here when I fall

Then let’s go together

聴かせてムジーカ

君が笑えばモノクロが彩られていく

空を覆う深い闇にだって輝く銀河のアストラ

Let me hear you, Musica

When you laugh, monochrome bursts into color

Even galactic astra shine on the abysmal darkness that covers the sky

ガラクタ詰めこんだ　僕の宝箱

たったひとつの奇跡はそうさ　ただ君と出会えたこと

My treasure chest is packed with trash

As for the only miracle in my lifeー Yes, it was simply meeting you

約束しようよ

恥ずかしいけど

Let’s make a promise

Even though it’s embarrassing

聴いてよムジーカ

君が笑えば胸に宿る小さな勇気

今更だけどこんな僕だけど　隣を歩いていいかい

Listen, Musica

When you laugh, it sparks the small bit of courage inside me

This is a little late, and I know I’m not the best, but can you walk next to me?

聴かせてムジーカ

君が歌えば世界中に響くメロディ

風の吹く日も涙の日だって咲く一凛のラブソング

聴かせてよ

Let me hear you, Musica

When you sing, the melody echoes around the world

On the days the wind blows, even the days you cry, a love song blooms

Let me hear you

After the Rain- Liar (ライア) English Lyrics

疑うことでしか きっと信じられなかった 望まれたその世界と ズレ始めるふたりのライア

If I wasn’t doubting I would not have been able to believe The world we yearned for And two liars started drifting apart

それでも　辻褄を合わせて 不意に悟られないように その手ですら信じられずに 縛り付けてしまいたい

But we still try to fit our stories together So that we won’t be caught off-guard I can’t even believe your hands And want to tie them up

繰り返すあやとりで　間違いを手繰るだけ 寂しさを縫い合わす糸先が　首筋に絡みつく

In a repeating game of cat’s cradle, we only spin mistakes The threads sewing together our loneliness twist around our necks

ライア　どんな嘘ついて　今生きているの ライア　最初からすべて　本当のことなんて何もないや 手元に余る毛糸の虚しさは　どうしたらいいの ねえ　どうしてさ　こんなに痛いの

Liar, what lies are you telling and how are you living now? Liar, from the beginning, not a single thing was true This emptiness I feel from all the leftover thread in my handsー What should I do about it? Hey, why does it hurt this much?

君がくれたものどれも 君がいなきゃそのどれも 呪いみたいに私を縛っていくんだ 嘘吐いたところで　騙す人ももういない

Everything that you gave me With you gone, all that you gave me Feels like a curse that ties me down You told so many liesー there’s no longer anyone to fool

ライア　君なんてどこか　行っちゃえばいいんだ ライア　心にもない言葉が　漏れ出す私もライア 手元に余る毛糸の虚しさは　どうしたらいいの 心は君を探すの

Liar, you should just go get lost Liar, leaking words that don’t really mean anything, I’m a liar too This emptiness I feel from all the leftover thread in my handsー What should I do about it? My heart searches for you

何もかも失くしてよかった 知らなきゃよかった そうやって　いつだって 嘘吐いていればいいよ

I’m glad we lost everything I’m sorry that I knew I wish we could lie All we want, whenever we want

[1-mini-1]

After the Rain- REM (レム) English Lyrics

欠けたレンズ　擦れた未来図

道に迷うことはいつぶりだろう

君はいいな　ひとりでいられて

水泡に沈む夜更かし空の魔法

A chipped lens, my fuzzy plans for the future

How long have I been lost on this path?

Must be nice, you can be alone

The magic of the sky late at night ebbs into naught

あとどれくらい君と会うだろう

どんな景色を見るだろう

何を食べて　何を強請って

誰を傷つけ何度泣くんだろう

How much longer will I see you?

What kind of things will I see?

What will I eat and what will I beg for

Who will I hurt and how many times will I cry?

あとどれくらい生きていくんだろう

どれくらい生きていくんだろう

どれくらい生きていくんだろう

How much longer am I going to live?

How long am I going to live?

How long am I going to live?

どれくらい

How long?

さよなら　スリープ

言葉は届かないほうが心地よかった

溺れ　スリープ

痛みは知られなくたって　それでよかった

誰もわかっちゃいない

わかってくれない

ぽつりと泣いた

Goodbye and sleep

I’d feel better if words didn’t reach me

Drown and sleep

It’d be better if no one even knew about my pain

No one understands me

And nobody wants to understand

I cried alone

あとどれくらい君と会うだろう

どんな景色を見るだろう

何を食べて　何を強請って

誰を傷つけ何度泣くんだろう

How much longer will I see you?

What kind of things will I see?

What will I eat and what will I beg for

Who will I hurt and how many times will I cry?

あとどれくらい生きていくんだろう

どれくらい生きていくんだろう

どれくらい生きていくんだろう

How much longer am I going to live?

How long am I going to live?

How long am I going to live?

何度こんな歌を歌うんだろう

How many times am I going to sing this song?

半球の心臓は指折り待つ天秤座

ボクはまだ歌える　言い聞かせては何回目

My hemisphere of a heart is the Libra, counting down on its fingers, waiting

I can still sing. How many times have I told myself that?

おやすみ　スリープ

地球は丸くないほうが心地よかった

不明な　スリープ

隠れる場所くらい取っておいて欲しかった

さよなら　スリープ

言葉は届かないほうが心地よかった

溺れ　スリープ

痛みは知られなくたって　それでよかった

誰もわかっちゃいない

わかってくれない

ぽつりと泣いた

Goodnight and sleep

I’d feel better if the earth wasn’t round

An uncertain sleep

I wish I had at least set aside a place I could hide

Goodbye and sleep

I’d feel better if words didn’t reach me

Drown and sleep

It’d be better if no one even knew about my pain

No one understands me

And nobody wants to understand

I cried alone

おやすみ　スリープ

Goodnight and sleep
