aiko Lyrics: Boushi to Mizugi to Suiheisen (帽子と水着と水平線; Hat, Swimsuit and the Horizon)

English translation and romanization below the cut.

ENGLISH

It was all because it just happened to rain that day I met you because it rained that day

Looking at the brilliant sunset 'Cause the sunny sky’s dropped below the blue horizon

It’d already begun. I fell in love with you all too easily I peak at you from the brim of my crooked red hat I’ll never take my eyes off of you, even if the wind blows Or nighttime comes to your big, gigantic eyes

Star sand left forgotten in my ears The black straps of a promise around my ankles

Hurry up and get over here, and don’t you dare leave me Watch out! Don’t let go of my hand

It’d already begun. I fell in love with you all too easily The wind knocks my red hat off, making it do flips in the air My fingertips are different colors. I’m gonna give them all to you Beneath this sky I’ve got my eye on. Go on, close your eyes

How about we tan the swimsuit tan lines on my back one more time? How about we stay all snuggled up beneath a tiny little roof?

It’d already begun. I fell in love with you all too easily I peak at you from the brim of my crooked red hat I’ll never take my eyes off of you, even if the wind blows Or nighttime comes to your big, gigantic eyes

[translation+lyrics] Artificial Rose by Roselina

Well I’ve procrastinated this one long enough. Pretty cool 2019 album with some gothic and yuri vibes, unfortunately the composer seems to have done nothing new ever since, and I have kept my eye on them all along. Hopefully they’ll come back some day because this album is really great, pretty telling that I still keep it in mind over a year later. Lyrics down below and see you all next time.

Composer for the entire album: Mame

Vocals for the entire album:  三七

花占い 

(hana uranai, Flower Divination)

owaranai hanabira kazoete fuseta matsuge furuete mo yawarakai koyubi wo karamete hiraite yuku shoujo no mama futari no kami wo kasaneau kaori made wa ubaenai ima wo akai kuchibiru wa kegarenai iro

counting up the endless petals I close my eyes as they flutter around me with her soft little finger wrapped around mine the girl is opening up to me both shrouded in each other's hair even your aroma takes me away but even now your red lips remain untarnished

ai ni aite ai motome yureru dake no nonohana hitohira yurusarete hoo no netsu ni tokaseba saite saite kizutsuite mo yureru kaze wa yamanai yukusaki ni wa hana mo nai

tired of love yet wishing for love we are but fluttering flowers so allow this petal to melt in your cheek bloom, bloom even if it hurts don't let this wind stop where we're headed there won't be flowers

kakushi kirenai nureta manasashi wa kogetsuku kizuato nokoshite hikari wo tozasu no

I can't hide this tearful stare only my wounds can shy away from the light

ai ni aite ai motome yureru dake no nonohana hitohira yurusarete hoo no netsu ni tokereba saite saite tsume wo tateta senaka uso wa shitteru koko ni wa mou hana wa nai

tired of love yet wishing for love we are but fluttering flowers so allow this petal to melt in your cheek bloom, bloom even if it hurts don't let this wind stop where we're headed there won't be flowers

黒い花嫁

(kuroi hanayome, The Black Bride)

yurusarenu omoi kokoro no oku ni sasaru todokanai kimochi owari no ne ga kikoeru

these unforgiveable feelings pierce my heart these unfulfilled feelings play along to this tune of demise

「nee, doushite ano hito?」 wakari kitta kotae wa yukusaki wo nakushi yugande kieru

"why, why that person?" but the answer is obvious I've lost my way, but all doubts are gone

itsumo yumemiteita doko ni demo aru mirai wo wazuka na hikari wa toke koboreochi nagareru

I always saw it in my dreams, a future full of possibilities but that dim light has dissipated, it's entirely ran off

shiawase no hibi ga watashi wo kuro ni someteyuku tsumetakute kienai namida nagashite aishiteru hito wa watashi dake dato tsugeta no ni itsuwari dato shirazu watashi wa hohoemu

I've stained in black my days of happiness This cold won't fade away, these tears continue to roll My loved one told me they only loved me not knowing it was a lie, I smiled

kitsukanu furi wo shite kakushita uso de katamerareta kokoro no kizu wo nikushimi de nuiawase kibou de tsutsumi konde mo mou moto ni wa modosenai

I hid the fact I noticed but the lies only worsened the wounds in my heart This hatred was sewn together with my hope and so it can never go back to how it was

itsuka yumemiteita kono te ni aru zetsubou wo anata to tomo ni wakachiaeru ano sekai wo

I dream some day the despair in these hands can also be shared with you so you'll know this world

shiawase no kane ga watashi wo kuro ni someteyuku kanashikute hakanai hana wo chirashite aishiteru hito wa anata dake dato tsugeta no ni itsuwari dato shirazu anata wa hohoemu

I've stained black the bell of happiness It's so sad how fleeting a rose's petals are My loved one told me they only loved me not knowing it was a lie, I smiled

「aa, kono mama nanimo shirazu ni ochiteyuketara ii no ni... zutto ugokanai anata wo mite watashi wa shizuka ni warau」

"ah, how I wish I could remain blissfully ignorant... instead I just look at you, and laugh"

Bloody Justice

shiroi sora kara maiorita hikari matou tenshi wa akai tsurugi wo furikazashi inochi wo karitsutsukeru shikabane no yama no ue shoujo ga niramu saki ni janen to chi de nureta seigi no hikari

descending from the white skies the radiant angel wields its red sword continues to hunt lives the girl stands atop a mountain of corpses glares as the light of justice has been tainted in blood and wickedness

heiwa motome inoru hitobito 「hane aru mono ni wa chi no batsu wo」 naze sadame ni hito wa aragau kodoku kegare ukeirete

the people pray for peace 「the winged ones will judge by blood」 yet people fight against their fate as she is tainted in solitude

aa sono tsuyoki chikara wa dare no tame no mono nano? sora ni motome eta shinjitsu wa kokuu no naka wo samayoi ai ga kieta sekai ni kobore ochita namida wo kazoe onore no hirikisa wo shiru

ah, for whom is such an immense power wielded? the truth sought after by the heavens is an empty sky she sheds another tear for this world deprived of love knowing true powerlessness

kiyoki chikara wa hikari de kibou wo yadosu hana to naru hitotsu no seigi wo shinji tachi agaru

this pure power, this light will turn to a flower that wields hope believe in one true justice and stand up to fight

jouka wo motome inoru tenshi 「hane naki mono ni wa sabaki wo」 itsushika daichi wa mude michiru yowaki kokoro ukeirete

the angel that wishes for a cleanse 「I will judge all the unwinged ones」 someday it will deprive this land of it all even if it's discouraged

aa sono akai namida wa dare no tame ni nagareru? yami ni motome eta kotae wa tozasareta kokoro no naka ai ga kieta sekai de sagashi tsutsuketa ikiru chikara saigo no kagayaki wo tomosu

ah, for whom do those red tears flow? for those who've been deemed dark, letting her heart close up In this world deprived of love I'll keep searching for the will to live Until the last light fades

kiyoki negai wa omoi wa inochi wo yadosu hana to naru hitotsu no seigi wo shinji tachi agare

this pure wish to turn into a flower that bears life believe in a single justice and stand up to fight

Artificial Rose

kono garasu no ori no naka ni toraware mamorareta ikiru hana mada kienai yume no naka de anata ga yoko de sasayaku

Inside this glass prison lies trapped a flower that it guards like it's within an unfaded dream the one where you whispered laying next to me

「ai wo shiranai hana wa, nan wo motomete saku no?」 katachi nai kotae wo sagashi tsutsukeru

"a flower that knows no love, why would it ever want to bloom?" I'll keep searching for that answer

hitotsu no omoi ga egaita keshiki wa masshiro na kuuhaku dake no sekai de kagami ni utsuru hitori sumi de naku watashi wo yasashiku ukeireta anata ni deaete shiawase wo mitsuke tsunoru omoi wa kotoba ni natte kodoku no iro ga kieru sono toki made zutto ai wo kanaderu yo

a single feeling colors this scene a world only covered in white reflected on the corner of a mirror I'm crying because I received your kindness I finally saw happiness upon meeting you these raging feelings turned to words and so until this single color fades away I'll keep in tune with this love

ah, itsuwari no bara wa akaku karezu ni ah, yurusareru no naraba 「douka soba ni ite」 to...

ah, this artificial rose with it's unwilting red ah, if you'll forgive me then "please, be by my side"...

ai wo motometa bara wa inochi no nagasa wo shiru hosoku natta anata no yubi ni kasanete futatsu no omoi ga tsumuida sekai wa shizuka ni owari no toki wo mukaete futari ga utsuru garasu koshi no tooi hibi wa akaneiro ni somaru

a rose that does wish for love knows how limited life is as I caress your fingers our thoughts weave into our own world and we silently await our departure we both look back on those distant days which were so vividly red

anata ni deaete shiawase datta to namida koraete hohoemu futari inochi no oto ga kieru sono toki made zutto ai wo kanaderu yo

meeting you filled me with bliss so we'll both restrain our tears and smile until the tune of life stops beating I'll keep in tune with this love

Lilac

awai hikari no naka yubi no saki de fureta kokoro wa shiroku fukaku yasashisa motometa

within the faint light our fingertips touched our hearts reaching for that pure, deep kindness

kaze ni yureru hana wa tada nani wo iwazu ni naiteta konai asu no saki wo mitsume

the flowers waving in the wind cry without any words being said as they stare at the tomorrow that won't arrive

towa ni tsutsukanai sadame ah, owaranai yume wo mite

a fate that can't continue forever yet a dream that won't end

omoi negau yo soba ni iru kara warau kimi to no shiawase wo se ni futari kawashita tooi yakusoku

these thoughts and prayers are always by my side your laughter will always be with me and so will that promise we exchanged

「itsumademo zutto」

"always, forever"

moshimo tsumi ga kiete subete yarinaoshi ni natte mo ima no kimi to mata aeru kana

if my sin ever fades, I'd like to redo it all over again if only I could meet the current you

hanarete yuku hikari kieru te tsukamenai mama kimi to ita kioku wa mou suna no you ni kuzurete

the light draws away I can't grasp your fading hand my memories with you crumble like sand

dakedo nakanai yo soba ni iru kara kieru kimi to omoide wo se ni futari kawashita saigo no kotoba

but let's not cry because they're still by my side my memories with the you that has faded those last words we exchanged

「itsumademo zutto」

"always, forever"

You can buy the album digitally over at their booth!

(also lmao, I was going to post a translation for this instead, but right as I was about to queue it I checked the comments on that video and saw someone else had already done it! I scrambled this one up real quick to keep my self imposed deadlines. Good to see other people are finally doing what I shouldn’t be doing!)

[blackhatclubblog]

That time Japan got an entire WWW post to itself...again, the Unni was not able to join us. ~ Beppin-san Empress: 'must achieve the goal no matter what' and she wants to do embroidery and sewing? *reads rest of the summary* Okay, it sounds somewhat interesting...historically speaking...considering it's the Japanese side of WWII...but I'm not currently curious enough to watch it. Ambassador: It sounds pretty interesting and also like it would be a great drama to watch for research, but I don't have time for it on any other grounds. Unni: -- ~ Hippocratic Oath Empress: Medical dramas + me don't usually work, but I haven't tried a Japanese one...and if it's only 5 epidsodes, I might go for it. :) Ambassador: Title + Keiko Kitagawa + plot is a powerful draw for this, and it's supposed to be only 5 episodes... I'll probably make time for it at some point.   Unni: -- ~ Pretty Proofreader Empress: .............I really hope there's more to it than that...but given what's there, it would have to be something seriously fascinating to make me watch it. Ambassador: Obviously there is some crucial part of this plot that has been left out of the synopsis, because there's barely anything to arouse interest here.  It has a few interesting actors but no. Unni: -- ~ Yuusha Yoshihiko to Michibikareshi Shichinin Empress: ehhhh...being revived to re-save the world sound tremendously depressing, and mixing Buddha with Desutaku doesn't interest me. Ambassador: I haven't tried any Japanese fantasy dramas yet (aside from anime) but this sounds... odd and... not interesting enough to tempt me. Unni: -- ~ Aibou: Season 15 Empress: More interesting than the previous ones...I think if I was looking for a another drama to watch, I might jump on this one. But...I'm kind of the opposite of looking for another drama to watch right now. Ambassador: It sounds pretty interesting but not quite the right combination to tempt me to pile yet another drama onto my already overloaded list.  (Wait.  CAN you have an overloaded list?  If you can, mine is.) Unni: -- ~ Career Empress: I like the idea. And I feel like Japan is pretty good at this genre. But again...my list...so long... Ambassador: This sounds FUN with humor and some good opinion turnarounds coming up.  I enjoy underdog stories, so I'm adding this one to my list. Unni: -- ~ Chef: Mitsuboshi no Kyushoku Empress: The kid angle intrigues me - the idea of a restaurant chef making food that children will actually eat sounds kind of fun. Mostly this reminds me that I need to get back to watching Master-God of Noodles... XD Ambassador: Naaaaaah, not really into cooking dramas. Unni: -- ~ Doctor-X: Season 4 Empress: Okay, this sounds like a total nightmare...either it's completely fake, in which case bo-ring and I don't care, or it's real, in which case HORRORS, that kind of patient-care nightmare makes me sick. No. Ambassador: I like power play dramas but in a medical melo setting..... no, don't think so. Unni: -- ~ Medical Team: Lady Da Vinci no Shindan Empress: ...I commend her quitting neurosurgery when she's hallucinating...and in general it sounds better than the last drama...but not better enough to make me watch it. Ambassador: This one however is intriguing because there is just enough mystery involved.  I don't have time for it though. Unni: -- ~ Rental Kyuseishu Empress: I'm intrigued. Rent-a-Hero? I think I will at least stick it somewhere on my list. Ambassador: This sounds HILARIOUS and I'm adding it to my list. Unni: -- ~ The Last Cop [Remake of German TV series "Der letzte Bulle" which first aired in 2010.] Empress: Japanese remake of a German show...this could be intriguing. I don't know how many cop shows I can have on my list at one time...It's a maybe. XD Ambassador: It looks like it will be comedy and could totally be tons of fun, but it'll go on the 'check out' list. Unni: -- ~ Suna no Tou Empress: This sounds weird...and possibly treading the horror-line...but also just intriguing enough that it makes me super curious. I want to check it out. Ambassador: Oooooh a psycho thriller.  Japan does psycho thrillers really well so I'm intrigued enough to try it. Unni: -- ~ Toge Empress: http://mydramalist.com/20124-toge-shoushimin-kuranaga-haruyuki-no-gyakushu The poster definitely captures the feel of the summary, and there is the possibility it could be hilarious...but I don't think I'm interested enough to check it out right now. If I hear good things about it, I would try it. XD Ambassador: I'M DYING and I need to see it. Unni: -- ~ We Married as a Job Empress: These situations are always so ridiculous...it's really hard to make marriage a thing people have to do...and I'm not really in the mood for another version of this. XD Ambassador: Yet another 'marriage of convenience' drama.  Nope. Unni: -- ~ Cain to Abel Empress: The title intrigues me - the drama's poster makes me think they got Cain and Abel and Adam and Eve a little bit mixed up...but the trailer also intrigues me and I am putting it on my list. Ambassador: The title immediately snagged my attention, and the synopsis makes it sound like it will be brother against brother, which I usually love to watch.  Also, the main actor is a favorite of a friend, who watched him in the movie Grasshopper and she says he's quite good, so I'm definitely watching this. Unni: -- ~ Cold Case [Remake of U.S. television series "Cold Case".] Empress: Remake intrigues me because what about the story was good enough to be remade...but again with the number of cop dramas I have on my list. Maybe later...XD Ambassador: COLOR ME INTRIGUED. Unni: -- ~ IQ 246 Empress: Okay...this is a different enough spin that I am seriously intrigued. Japanese Sherlock Holmes...I'm at least going to try it. XD Ambassador: O.O  Sounds FASCINATING.  It's going on my list. Unni: -- ~ The Sniffer [Remake of Ukrainian TV series "The Sniffer".] Empress: ........Then again some remakes are just strange. Why would you make a show like this in the first place, let alone remake it? Though maybe if I could conceptualize exactly HOW being able to smell really well could possbly help you solve crimes, I'd be more interested. The Girl Who Sees Smells at least had enough of a fantasy spin that I could go along with it...XD Ambassador: A) Japan seems to have a thing for 'Sherlockian dramas'- where crimes are solved by someone with unusual abilities b) they also have a thing for remakes All things considered, I'm interested. Unni: -- ~ Haikei, Minpaku-sama Empress: *tries not to yawn* My list is too long...XD Ambassador: Naaaaah, mind numbing family melodrama.  If I want that, all I have to do is look around me IRL.  Meisa Kuroki makes it tempting, but I just don't have time or interest enough. Unni: -- ~ Kuroi 10-nin no Onna Empress: *howls* There's a solution, I guess....XD Like...they have more than an inkling of each other's existence and all plot together to murder him, or do they all get fed up with him at the same time and individually try to murder him, or...I...am not sure what to think of this. Why can't they leave him? If there was a character who was likable, I would watch it...but if it's about 10 adulterers and a nasty wife, I can't really see enjoying it. Ambassador: Absolutely watching this.  It's very much my kind of drama.  So much. Empress: *grins* It really is. Please tell me if there is someone I would like in it who would make me want to watch it. XD Ambassador: Watch me excitedly email you after the second episode and drag you into watching it with me. Unni: -- ~ Ishikawa Goemon Empress: I feel like I should watch some of the other similar ones I have on my list before this one, but...it can't hurt to put it the end, right? XD Ambassador: Oooooh, another Goemon drama!  Count me in. Unni: -- ~ Unmei ni, Nita Koi Empress: Eh...naw. Ambassador: Mmmm, no.  Not enough time, not enough interest, not enough etc etc. Unni: -- ~ Chuushingura no Koi Empress: I am intrigued. It's not too long, and it looks really interesting. XD Ambassador: YES,  for THE PLOT and DAITO SHUNSUKE.  I wasn't terribly impressed with Emi Takei in the RK movies, but here's hoping she'll be good. Unni: -- ~ Suisho no Kodou Empress: This is a better synopsis of some of the others...I'm intrigued...but still. Too many dramas about policemen/detectives/etc. Ambassador: I don't knooow.  It could be interesting but it doesn't sound particularly gripping.  Probably not. Unni: -- ~ Sennyuu Sousa Idol Deka Dance Empress: And here we see the effect of all those detective dramas... -__- Though okay, this is the kind of twist on it that intrigues me. Detective that wants to be a detective because of entertainment gets stuck in entertainment industry undercover? I think I'm at least going to put it on my list. XD Ambassador: Probably yes, mainly for DAITO SHUNSUKE. Unni: -- Which of these Japanese dramas are YOU interested in watching?
