#Hishochi no Mori no Tenshitachi

[redfreesias03]

Hishochi no Mori no Tenshi-tachi (“Angels of the Summer Lodge Forest”)

“Love me; a friend group of four (it’s frustrating). Kiss me; it should be two and two, but it’s not that simple. You know? Me and her (and you…) There’s two guys, but one left over.”

OR: A girl’s in love with the friend who constantly teases her, but her other friend is also in love with him, and they’re all at a forest lodge for the summer with another guy friend who’s probably so not here for this.

No real notes, but in all honesty, the mix of upper and lowercase characters irritates me. Even so, I felt it was important in conveying the age and trendy 80′s aesthetic the original was going for with the use of alternate hiragana and katakana so there you go. : (

Koi no Jubaku (“Love’s Spell”)

“Stop acting like you’re an adult, stop it with that earnest look on your face, I know for a fact that my friend likes you.”

OR: A girl decides to bow out gracefully and let her friend pursue their mutual crush only for their crush to mess everything up by confessing to her instead.

kokuhaku nante    shinaide yo tsukiai kata mo    shiranai kuse douyatte    watashi mamoru no yo konkyo mo nan mo nai kuse ni

Don’t you dare confess your love for me When you don’t know the first thing about going out How in the world are you going to “protect” me When you haven’t got a solid foundation or anything¹

otona buru no yamete majime kao mo yamete tomodachi ga kimi no koto suki da to    shitteru no yo    watashi

Stop acting like you’re an adult Stop it with that earnest face I know for a fact that My friend likes you

kyoushitsu ni wa    nani mo nai wa sonna tsuyoku    semaranaide onna doushi    yuujou tte konna koto de    hakanaku kudakeru no koi no jubaku

There’s nothing in this classroom Don’t pressure me so insistently Friendship between women Is easily broken over something like this Love’s spell

kokuhaku nante    shinaide yo onnagokoro mo    shiranai no ni ima nara    zenbu wasureru wa nanni mo iwazu    kaette yo

Don’t you dare confess to me Despite not knowing a thing about a girl’s heart If you stop now, we can still forget everything Don’t say another word and just go home

akirame kaketa no yuujou toru    tame yo zutto    zutto    suki datta nando datte    namida shita    watashi

I was ready to give up on my feelings for you So I could choose friendship over you I’ve always, always loved you I cried so many times over it

kyoushitsu ni wa    yuuhi ga sasu kimi to watashi    futari dake de tomodachi ni wa    nante iu no yappa koko de    unazukenai    aa koi no jubaku

The sun is setting in the classroom Just you and me together, alone What do I tell my friend? Right, there’s no way I can say yes here, ah Love’s spell

kyoushitsu ni wa    nani mo nai wa sonna tsuyoku    semaranaide onna doushi    yuujou tte konna koto de    hakanaku kudakeru no koi no jubaku

There’s nothing in this classroom Don’t pressure me so insistently Friendship between women Is easily broken over something like this Love’s spell

kyoushitsu ni wa    yuuhi ga sasu kimi to watashi    futari dake de tomodachi ni wa    nante iu no yappa koko de    unazukenai    aa koi no jubaku

The sun is setting in the classroom Just you and me together, alone What do I tell my friend? Right, there’s no way I can say yes here, ah Love’s spell

¹ One of the fancier Japanese euphemisms for guys when declaring their love is “I’ll protect you”, much like how in English you get statements like “I’ll always keep you safe” or “I’ll always be there for you”. The singer in this case is just like UGH YOU ARE A SCHOOLKID HOW DO YOU EVEN PLAN ON DOING THAT in a slightly hilarious and panicked attempt to cover up her feelings.
