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.

Hmm? How mean!
I’m soaking wet

A perfectly clear breeze, at the lodge
The wink of sunlight streaming through the trees
We’re not quite tired out of it yet
So we’re washing the car over again

A sheet of spray—you pointed the hose
Towards me on purpose!

Everyone’s at the tennis court

It feels like my feelings will get exposed

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. : (

Kuroi Tenshi (“Black Angel”)
“I’m just like a black angel. Ah, I take off my heels and walk on. I’ve got another side to me that nobody knows about.”
OR: After lying and pretending everything’s perfect in her relationship a girl snaps.
juutai shiteru yoru no kousoku de
joshuseki no DOA ake kuruma orita
tomeru anata no koe to KURAKUSHON
HEDDORAITO no umi wo oyogu
In the middle of heavy highway traffic at night
I opened the passenger door and got out of the car
Amidst the sound of cars honking and your voice telling me to stop
I swim inside a sea of headlights
hikikaesenai wa
junjou nante suteru yo
itsumademo
kireigoto
itterarenai shi…
I can’t turn back now
I’ll throw away my silly naivete
Because I can’t keep
Glossing things over
Forever…
marude
watashi kuroi tenshi
aa HIIRU nuide aruku
dare mo shiranai
mou hitotsu no kao ga aru
watashi kuroi tenshi
aa yoru no yami ni ochiru

It’s just like
I’m a black angel
Ah, I take off my heels and walk on
I’ve got another side to me that
Nobody knows about
I’m a black angel
Ah, I sink into the darkness of night
A love full of lies
Hey, leave me to myself, won’t you?
SUPIIDO otosu kuruma no mado kara
ayashige na dareka ga koe wo kakeru
tsuite ittara nanika okiru ka na
ai no TAITO ROOPU ga sasou
From behind the windows of cars slowing down
Shifty-looking men call out to me
I wonder what’ll happen if I go with them?
The tightrope of that love tempts me
mechakucha ni shite yo
jun’ai nanka wasureta
senobi shita
warudakumi
dounika narisou
I’m acting recklessly
I’ve forgotten about silly things like pure love
I bit off more than I could chew
These wiles are
Driving me out of my mind…
hoho ni

aa sotto nuguikidzuku

mou iya ni natta no subete…
On my cheeks,
Black tears glitter
Ah, I realize it as I gently wipe them away
I’m burying my loneliness
I’m starving for affection
My glittering black tears
Ah, vanished in the breeze
My child-like love has
Already rotted away completely…
marude
marude
watashi kuroi tenshi
aa HIIRU nuide aruku

mou hitotsu no kao ga aru
watashi kuroi tenshi

It’s just like
I’m just like
I’m a black angel
Ah, I take off my heels and walk on
I’ve got another side to me that
Nobody knows about
I’m a black angel
Ah, I sink into the darkness of night
A love full of lies
Hey, leave me to myself, won’t you?
---
If it’s a little confusing–It was the love the girl had for the guy that corrupted her. In order to stay with him (and play the same crazy game of lies that adults do when they lust after each other), she resorted to lying and deception. It’s that dark side of her (when the guy and everyone else expects her to be an angel) that makes her unable to stay in the car.

“A blue angel no one knows lives inside of you. A blue angel no one knows, the courage that guards your dreams.”
OR: No matter how bad things get, have faith in yourself and don’t lose your way.
Don’t cry Don’t cry Don’t cry makasete…
Don’t cry, don’t cry, don’t cry, leave it to your angel…

A blue angel no one knows
Lives inside of you
A blue angel no one knows,
The courage that guards your dreams
seiza no BUROOCHI yozora ni tometa
aoi BIROODO no mado hitorikiri no kono heya
nanika wo kizutsuke kizutsukerarete
toki no IBARA no michi de mayowanaide
A brooch of constellations fixes the night sky into place
A blue velvet window, this room you’re all alone in
Something’s been hurt, it’s been damaged
Don’t lose your way on the thorny path of time
iki ga kurushii hodo sabishii nara
sotto hitomi tojite omoidasu no yo
If you feel so lonely that it hurts to breathe
Gently close your eyes and remember

totemo daiji na chikara wo…
dakara jibun no ikikata wo shinjite
The blue angel no one knows
Surely you’re forgetting it
A blue angel no one knows
That very important power…
So believe in your own way of life
kokoro no yowasa wa yasashisa ni naru
kimi no mune no itami wa ai ni kaete
A heart’s weakness turns into kindness
Transform the pain in your chest into love
namida tomaranakute tsurai toki wa
sotto hitomi tojite omoidasu no yo
When life gets so hard your tears won’t stop
Gently close your eyes and remember
kimi wa shitteru BURUU ENJERU
itsumo soba ni ite kureru
kimi wa shitteru BURUU ENJERU
hane no haeta hohoemi
The blue angel that you know
Is always by your side
The blue angel that you know,
The smile that’s sprouted wings
Don’t change Don’t change Don’t change heiki sa…
Don’t change, don’t change, don’t change, it’ll be alright…

Your blue angel no one knows
Surely you’re forgetting it
A blue angel no one knows
That very important power…
So believe in your own way of life
