Overlord - verse

Sky Fox Office

Shu: …tldr, we’ll be the closing performance at this “TAR Fes” thing or whatever

Sosui: Exactly. It’s a band festival for teens. This year’s “TeenAgers Rock Fes” will be the biggest ever recorded. Among the participants, Shu is going to be the youngest, leading EpsilonPhi…

Being the closing act of such a legendary event is an unparalleled honor. They’ll all be looking at you, it’s a prestigious role.

Reiji: Thinking about it, one of SkyFox’s partners is sponsoring the event. So we need to appeal to that as well, I think…

Sosui: That’s why the performance of this new song has to become our new business card. You have to get it ready.

Shu: sure thing, we became pro after all, I heard what you said. I was thinking of writing a new song anyway.

Sosui: I’m glad we’re on the same wavelength. For the song sure, create what you want

Shu: Duh. It goes without saying

Reiji: This is our first performance since our real start with SkyFox. And the first impression is the most important.

Shu: We’re all talking about what we have to do but, old men what about you? You working?

Sosui: thank you for your concern. The response from the fans is positive, and the tickets are already sold out….there’s just one thing.

Sosui: Sincerely speaking, your reputation amongst the other bands is not good at all.

Reiji:  but it’s all bands we’ve never met before, so why?

Sosui: first of all, it’s because Shu is the son of Duck River’s CEO. Even if we say that they are not in good terms, during LRFes it was the talk of the moment, right?

Shu: Ha? That’s so stupid.

Sosui: also, all the accidents that happened at the Fes. The rumor that you’re the cause of all the troubles got around, and there are many people who don’t have high opinions of that.

Sosui: even if it we say that it’s all water under the bridge, rumors grow bigger. “What if they do the same thing to us?!” And stuff like that.

Sosui: this and that, I think it’s better to act fast, but…I don’t really know how it’ll go.

Shu: lets just leave them be, such stupid stuff

Shu: …either way, I’ll start working on the song.

I leave the schedule to you, old man, and Reiji. You decide it.

Shu: ugh, I got in a bad mood. I’m going on a walk and play somewhere before going home.

Epsi Sharehouse

Shu: I’m back. What are y’all doing, sitting there in silence.

Reiji: Shu, I was just about to text you. …some stuff is going down online.

Kanata: Shuu-Kun listen here!! We’re getting cancelled! It’s so baddd~~!

Tadaomi: Kanata-Kun, what does “cancel” mean? Are they deleting something?

Kanata: We’re getting a lot of focused attacks online, in short people are hating us online

Haruka: …bulls*it

Kanata: Rumors and anonymous reports are fueling it all. Look at all these posts! 

This gossip is burning hot

Shu: what the heck……

Kagen no Tsukiyo - Fantôme Iris

Night of the Waning half-moon

The door that leads to the next season

is already in front of (us)

But I want to keep ringing the bell of hesitation for just a little longer.

Even in a sudden rain,

no matter how many times I was hit

while wet, I walked.

Wash away all the past wounds,

and scream a new song.

The wish that bloomed

stronger than anyone else.

Slowly, taking its time:

a beautiful, irregular lily.

A flower that never withers.

Is the bell of hesitation still echoing in your heart?

Come on, with your wet claws

tear to pieces this darkness,

go towards the light.

I turn my piled up feelings

into music,

and now I scream them out.

I want them to reach you.

Let’s leave these coward shards

Far, far away, in this endless* scenery.

Turn this ringing feeling in your chest

into a compass,

Guiding you towards the night of the Waning half-moon…

The flower of lily,

beautiful and irregular,

made the dreams bloom

Stronger than anyone else.

Slowly, taking its time

A flower that will never wither.

Let’s leave these coward shards

Far, far away, in this endless* scenery.

Turn this ringing feeling in your chest

into a compass,

guiding you towards the night of the Waning half-moon…

Towards the night of the Waning half-moon…

*the most appropriate meaning in this context is endless, but this word, when paired with “dreams”, usually indicates that they have been left incomplete, unfulfilled

IGNITION - GYROAXIA

One day, this passion and this uneasiness,

I’ll just entrust them to a verse of a melody

I will once again start this endless journey

Forever and ever

A story that starts moving

Opens the gate of a new door ahead of us

3,2,1 IGNITION, the VISION I pictured

A clear trajectory

Raise the SPEED

I'm a HERO

I’ll never sell neither my dreams nor my pride

This is my STEELO

One day this passion and this anticipation

I’ll just entrust them to a single word

All of this hesitation, regret, envy,

crush them

So, light a fire, with unwavering will

burn these feelings that didn’t disappear

Lead the way

Towards those unknown days

No matter how dark it is, light it up

Sing for yourself

It’s not over yet, it’s just started

Release your power

A FLOWER blooming in unknown ground

Cut the vanguard and raise your flag

Come on let’s go

Get ready to watch us from there

One day, this passion and this uneasiness

I’ll just entrust them to a verse of a melody

I’ll forever keep on walking this endless journey

So, light a fire, with unwavering will

Chase after the dreams that didn’t die

Lead the way

Towards those unknown days

No matter how dark it is, light it up

Sing for yourself

Until it reaches (someone)

So, light a fire,

Overcome the sadness

Burn the wounds that didn’t heal.

So, lead the way, paint over your past

No matter how dark it is, light it up.

So, light a fire, with unwavering will

burn these feelings that didn’t disappear.

Lead the way,

Towards those unknown days.

No matter how dark it is, light it up.

Sing for yourself,

Until it reaches (someone).

Again - Argonavis

English translation

The sun raises and shines on us once more

This path you chose--Catch it!

(wow…)

You shouldn’t run away from the pain

Chew the bitterness and turn it into resolution

You fought and regretted, Your tears and your failures

Hold them tight and muster your strength, now!

(wow…)

The sun rises and our shadows grow longer

This path you chose, catch it!

Move forward, go through!

This limit someone else set…

Overcome it and move forward.

(wow…)

Something like luck can’t be judged by right or wrong

The feelings you had faith in, will turn into fate

This bonds and pride you fought for and protected

Unleash them! Now strum them!

(wow…)

The sun rises and wakes us up once again

Catch it! This path you chose!

It won’t end, we won’t make it end

The limit we set

Let’s break through it and go on

(wow…)

Collecting “once again” one after another

Picking up “once more” countless of times.

Setting our eyes on the place we’re aiming for

We swear, that we will never lock back!

(wow…)

The sun raises and shines on us once more

Catch it! This path you chose--

Move forward, go through!

This limit someone else set

Go and overcome it!

It won’t end, we won’t make it end

The limit we set for ourselves

Let’s break through it and go on!

(wow…)

GET MYSELF - GYROAXIA

I'm ready, I'm here

I will stay here

Let’s break through, until I go beyond my limit

Now, a proof of my existence…

No matter what someone else told us,

In this path(life) I chose there’s no hesitation.

Even if you keep waiting for your fate,

tomorrow won’t change, so shoot through the “now”.

I’ll find a substitute as many times as needed.

So now break through, sing and dance.

Flap your wings higher than anyone else. Come on, Go!

I'm ready, I'm here,

I will stay here

Strum, a proof of your existence, now!

Don’t stop! I cannot be stopped!

Dreams, Ideals? This is reality.

Now let’s break through, until I reach the other side

Strum the proof of your existence, (I’m) on my way.

This is how I live my life!!

I believe in myself!!

I can't take it in any other way!! My way!!

This is how I live my life!!

I believe in myself!!

I can't take it in any other way!!

Clinge to someone or something.

Just dreaming isn’t enough, the future won’t come.

A world that can be saved by

stuff like Love or Affection?

Are you kidding me?

Guys who choose comfort

One after the other, they’ll disappear.

The sound of wings flapping, depending on others

Throw everything away, now, go

I'm ready, I'm here

I'll always stay here

Strum, a proof of your existence, now.

Don’t stop! Run trough

Dreams, Ideals? This is reality

Now let’s break through, until I exceed my limit

Strum the proof of your existence, I’m on my way

this is how I live my life

I believe in myself

I can't take it in any other way, my way

This is how I live my life

I believe in myself

I can't take it in any other way

Keep on rolling

I should just stay true to myself, persist.

shit like “a normal life”,

I don’t need it

I'm ready, I'm here

I'll always stay here

Strum, a proof of your existence, now

Don’t stop! Do not stop

Dreams, Ideals? This is reality

Now let’s break through, until I go beyond my limit

Strum the proof of your existence, I’m on my way

this is how I live my life

I believe in myself

I can't take it in any other way, my way

This is how I live my life

I believe in myself

I can't take it in any other way

Pray - Argonavis

When we were lost along the route

You were laughing

When we were stumbling towards our dream(goal)

You’re the one who pulled our hands

There’s no replacement,

We want to fulfill it together.

If this is a trial, let’s take it.

Towards that shining town.

God of Music…

Please watch over us.

Please, don’t put and end to this dream

that’s ten thousand nautical miles* away…

Your irreplaceable name,

We called it so many times.

Hey, If you can hear this voice—

This feelings are like a prayer,

I believe they can reach you,

I believe in this song...

A flock of migratory birds

Holds up and keeps on flying

In this sky dyed deep red.

I wonder where they’re headed towards

The fire you ignited

Continues on protecting us.

Our reply becomes a song

And longs for you.

Without the irreplaceable you,

The hands of the clock have stopped ticking

in this world.

Waiting for the day when

We’ll be able to sing this prayer-song once again,

we’re looking for your voice.

A thousand stars, and one star

Slipping through, wandering aimlessly

We met fortuitously.

Who’s yearning, who’s wishing for you

It’s not just us.

This dreams needs

(Your) strength and kindness.

Your irreplaceable name,

We called it out so many times.

Hey you! hurry up and come back!

This prayer is like a wish.

This songs believes you can hear it,

I believe it…

Let’s meet once again, in that place…

“ten thousand nautical miles” is written as 一万浬, which is a reference to Banri’s name (万浬)
