−真天地開闢集団−ジグザグ 「Stay with me」 (English)

Always, every day Bringing colours to the dull world Always, every day Lighting up the shadows of my heart

Like there's blue spreading over our head It will never be gone at all

Forever

Stay with me Can't see a life apart with you Let go the goodbye Stay with me Forever and ever So please, stay with me

Like the world, that started from the dark Could a blue moon explain this feeling I'm telling you

Even a hundred years into the future It will continue to shine unchanged

Forever

Stay with me I wish to see your smiling face Let go the goodbye Stay with me Because I love you So please, stay with me

Even on nights when tears overflow Let's overcome them together

Forever

Stay with me Can't see a life apart with you Let go the goodbye Stay with me Forever and ever

So plеase, stay with me So pleasе, stay with me

*The lyrics in blue are the original English lyrics Japanese lyrics can be found here

The song is basically in English for most of it, and the Japanese lyrics are also straightforward. Naturally, posting a translation of this song seems unnecessary. It could be a song Mikoto wrote for their fans or for the band members themselves. It might actually be both, which makes sense.

Warning from here on is just a random night rant

Honestly, I had wanted to give up liking them considering how big they have gotten, how their music changed, and a lot of other reasons too. However, this song has a nostalgic feeling, reminiscent of the first song I heard from the band five years ago which is "優しい人 (Yasashii Hito)". (Don't even get me started on how much I love that song; it literally made me feel things I have never felt before in my entire life)

I'm exceptionally attracted to the transition between these two songs. "Yasashii Hito" where he sings goodbye following a departure of a former member, "Stay with me", where he expresses his feeling for the other two to stay.

Thanks to this song, it reminded me why I wanted to support them in the first place five years ago. Looking back what they went through and how far they have come, especially Mikoto, there's no way I would stop. Even amidst of their evolution as they aim for bigger things, I think I'll probably love them forever, no matter what changes come. Even a hundred years into the future, I wish so.

Anyhow, I know someone already did a translation for Yasashii Hito, but I'm thinking of posting mine too sometime soon. Hehe.

Some meanings and context of the words and phrases from the song: *悶絶 (monzetsu): Literally means "agony," but in this context, it's likely used hyperbolically to express extreme pleasure *The term wabi-sabi to a Japanese aesthetic that finds beauty in imperfection *This part of the song lists different types of sushi (salmon, tuna, amberjack, salmon roe, red shrimp, nattou) and ends with ordering green tea

「"JAPPARAPAN ～Japanese Party～" is a party tune that fully expresses the charm of Japan, conveying the message that "sushi will save the world." The sound also incorporates elements of EDM. -Shintenchi Kaibyaku Shūdan- Zigzag will hold a hall tour titled "Zenkoku Kaibyaku Misogi - Heaven and Earth -" from November to December. The tour will start on November 20th at the Sagami Women's University Green Hall in Kanagawa and will include a total of 12 performances, concluding on December 24th at the Yokohama Arena in Kanagawa.」ーnatalie.mu

Though this song might not need a translation, I had fun with the lyrics. Knowing where they're headed musically, this song makes perfect sense. Even though this style isn't really my thing, gotta admit I really enjoy it. Also, really looking forward to its furi, which I'm sure gonna be really funn!!!

DIAURA - イカロスの夢 english translation

Such days full of patches

Spilling over from the gap, the sky is just cold

The more vague it is, the prettier it is seen

The things that are invisible to the eyes are leading my heart astray

To the sky

If there were wings on this back and the hands that I extended could reach

It's fine to be burnt by the sun, if I could reach you

The place and dream that I've seen the other day

The palm of my hand is so cold as if it was about to break if touched

The admiration I had forgotten in the corner of my mind

Why does it have to lead my heart astray now

To the sky

I closed my eyes to a deep blue that seems to fall at any time

It's fine turning into ashes in an instant, if I could reach there

Proof of existence

It's okay that everyone is different

I wish I could stay as me

If there were wings on this back and the hands that I extended could reach

It's fine to be burnt by the sun,

I closed my eyes to a deep blue that seems to fall at any time

It's fine turning into ashes in an instant, if I could reach there

If I were to have wings

It's fine to be burnt by the sun, if I could reach you

And then everything, to the sky

Well this translation might be shitty af, but I tried so whatever. Please find the japanese lyrics yourself thanks.

So this song is actually talks about Icarus (one of the Greek myths’ character I guess) and how yo-ka compares himself to Icarus! It’s very interesting tbh. Feel free to private message me to know more hah
