The Yuri Manga Post

From when I first came across yuri manga a decade ago, followed by a long break from it due to the excruciating longing I’d experience reading about girls loving girls while not experiencing it myself, I’d been wanting to get back to reading yuri manga again. The loneliness hasn’t gone anywhere, but my love towards girls and girls loving girls has remained, and I’ve wanted to take part in it once more.

What got me started was Hanamonogatari by schwinn. People were hyping it up on twitter as old woman yuri, and not just yuri involving a grown adult, but an actual grandmother. So far only 2 chapters have been translated, so I don’t have a whole lot to say about the series. It’s a nice change of pace to read about someone in their 60′s, and it’s wholesome to see how they discover make-up as a new hobby and the salesperson as a new romantic interest. Life doesn’t end after your 20′s, y’all!

This inspired me to check out what else is popular these days, and one of the first works I saw recommended was Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete by Akihiro Ononaka, which is the polar-opposite to Hanamonogatari. It’s about a young girl who adores magical girls, but ends up becoming a villain forced to fight them. Her new alter-ego is sadistic and enjoys teasing and torturing her opponents. The manga feels like a combination of Douman Seiman’s works and Kill la Kill, the way it’s stylized with high contrasts and contains plenty of wacky, sexy comedy that takes things just a little too far for comfort. Personally I love it. It’s not a manga for everyone, and I wish it would start wrapping up soon after 9 volumes, before it starts repeating itself too much. It’s been one of the most refreshing manga I’ve read in a while, a funny parody with an amazing artstyle, even if it also contains some... questionable scenes.

Looking at more conventional works, I picked up Ki ni Natteru Hito ga Otoko ja Nakatta by Agu. It’s about a high school girl who falls for a guy as they bond over similar tastes in music, but as the title suggests, it turns out the guy’s actually a girl and her classmate (disguised in her casual/alternative style). The manga releases on twitter, and it’s been a fun exercise for me to keep up with it in Japanese. The twitter releases have also allowed Agu to use some colour, adding lime green to the traditional black and white, which makes the manga stand out and look really cool. The art itself is great too, both girls are super cute with their own distinctive styles. I like seeing how their relationship develops and I’m glad that it doesn’t dwell on the initial misunderstanding for too long. I will say that it’s a shame to be caught up with the story, since each weekly update is only 4 pages long and I’d rather read this in one go.

Next, I picked up Kakeochi Girl by Battan, since it was recent and renowned, with gorgeous covers. It’s about a woman who runs into her old high school sweetheart again after 10 years. While she never got over her, her old lover is now about to get married to a man, and have his baby. I wasn’t a huge fan of this manga. I thought it was sad how the main girl hadn’t been able to move on and felt stuck with her life for so long, while her romantic interest was stuck making bad decisions. I also didn’t like how the husband was portrayed as a villain of comical proportions. I think there’s value to the story which explores what comphet does to a woman, but it’s not something I care to read about when men become too central to the story. I also have conflicting feelings about the art. The covers, illustrations and some pages were absolutely gorgeous, and I love how Battan portrays different feelings, especially whenever something’s a little scary, but exciting, with tingles and sparks, but I’m not a huge fan of her style when it comes to the eyes and other facial features, which is a stylistic choice for her and a personal preference of mine.

I gave Battan another chance with Ane no Yuujin, since I couldn’t resist the enthralling, sensual cover. I liked it better than Kakeochi Girl, and it helped me appreciate the art more, thanks to her excellent portrayal of longing and joy. I was about to say that I liked the characters better too, but now that I think about it, I’m not sure I did. I think the fact that this was much shorter and focused on more characters masked it for me. I don’t think Battan’s works are for me, but I’m sure there are plenty of people out there who do love them for good reason!

I continued my yuri journey with another work I’d seen and heard much about, Sayonara Rose Garden by Dr. Pepperco. It’s about a Japanese maid who works for an English noblewoman, set in England in the early 1900′s. My first impression was that Dr. Pepperco is a genius for this setting and combination of aesthetics, with the Japanese maid dressing in kimono off-duty (!!!). The manga is beautifully drawn, and I enjoyed both main characters, but unfortunately a man had to get between them as well. It makes sense considering the setting, but it’s still not something I enjoy reading about, so my initial excitement was dulled out after the first volume. Overall it was a good read with great art, but because of my high expectations and slight disappointment, it didn’t end up as a favourite of mine.

After getting worried about not finding any more good yuri to read, I was happy to discover Ikemen Girl to Hakoiri Musume by Mochi au Lait and majoccoid. It’s another manga where one girl mistakes her classmate for a man and falls for them. Here the girl confesses right at the start, the other one accepts as a joke, and they end up dating while the misunderstandings are still at play. The girl who was mistaken for a man is incredibly sympathetic and a whole mood (TM), while her girlfriend is super bubbly and sweet. The manga is light-hearted and funny, and I wish I could find something similar to this, since it’s been one of my favorites.

Next up I read Yuunagi Marbled and Kimi Koi Limit by Momono Moto. Yuunagi Marbled was a tad bit on the edgy side, but still an okay read. Kimi Koi Limit had a real mess of a main character, which I enjoyed immensely, since I’ve been looking for something like that in yuri works. After all these stories about women who suddenly end up in lesbian relationships, or who have to hide the fact they want to be in them, it was refreshing to read about women who were open and assertive about their interests. I can’t say either of these works left a strong impression on me beyond that, but I found the girls cute and they were easy enough to read.

Then I went on to read Papa no Sexy Doll by Kajikawa Gaku. Look. The title is questionable. And the manga is indeed about a girl and her dad both having some sort of relationship with an android to get over the loss of the girls’ mother. I checked it out because I read something else by the same author, which left me curious about what else they’d done. Then I wanted to check what Papa no Sexy Doll could possibly be about, since it wasn’t marked as r-18. It was a pleasant surprise to see that it was yuri, and I actually got attached to the main character, who’s a young girl going through a rough patch with her crush/girlfriend and seeking solace (not necessarily sexual, but also that kind of comfort) from the titular doll. There are only a few chapters out and it’s still ongoing, but so far it’s been a nice story about loss and the pains of growing up. I can’t recommend it for everyone, but it’s been a pleasant surprise for sure.      

To continue with more questionable works, I was excited to give Kyou wa Kanojo ga Inai kara by Iwami Kiyoko a try, based on the gorgeous art and a powerful line I randomly came across and had to fish out the source for. Like the title suggests, it’s about a girl in a lesbian relationship, but said girlfriend is still in the closet afraid to show any sort of affection towards her in public. Furthermore, she keeps ignoring her in favour of club activities, which leaves our main girl sad and lonely. A third girl shows up, and with a few pushes, the main girl starts two-timing her girlfriend. I love how horrible the girls are, and how easy it is to see what drove them to be the way they are. The art is to die for, and although I can’t recommend such a controversial topic to everyone, it’s been one of my favorites. The manga is still ongoing, with 4 volumes currently, and things are heating up!

After reading all these popular and currently talked-about series, and not finding that much more looking though what’s popular, I discovered the greatness of Interest Stacks on MAL. There were a few collections with titles and covers that looked intriguing, and I started reading older works, with the oldest being Maya no Souretsu by Ichijo Yukari, published in 1972. I love the 70′s shoujo manga style, and the story was a tragic wild-ride about loss and revenge.

From there I kinda fell down the rabbit hole that was 90′s josei. Some of the yuri works I read were Love Vibes and Sheets no Sukima by Erica Sakurazawa. They are both about messy relationships that involve a lot of sex and cheating, and while love between women was central for both, there was more action between women and men. Because I read other josei works from the same era before these two, I came in thinking it was cool to see women be active and forward, so I didn’t mind it, but I do think Sheets no Sukima in particular suffered from not developing the relationship between the two women further. The ending was incredibly unsatisfying and abrupt, even if it could be seen as realistic and tragic in a way I usually love, because it reflects how uncertain and unsatisfying real life can be. I definitely preferred Love Vibes out of the two, where the feelings were more clear and reciprocated. Both works had a charming artstyle, and the girls were cute so it was nice reading them.

Back to the present day, although ready to take a journey into the past, I continued with Yume no Hashibashi by Sudou Yumi. It’s about two women in their mid-80′s who have been in love with each other since they were 14/15, but unable to be with each other due to various societal reasons. The manga starts with them in their old age and progresses backwards in time, with each chapter giving us a small glimpse of the choices they made and the feelings they had throughout different periods in their lives. It’s quite an interesting structure, and I loved seeing what drove the characters to make the decisions they did, when I already knew what they would lead to, and to see what prevented them from choosing to be with each other throughout the years. I wasn’t sure what to think of it based on the first two chapters, but I was crying as I reached the end. It was tragic, yet beautiful, and what hurts the most is how there are people out there who have gone through similar experiences. This was another favourite of mine and I highly recommend it, with the warning that it’s a heartbreaking read. I’d love to read more yuri by this mangaka, but unfortunately I couldn’t find much else.

Following these, I read Nettai Shoujo by Yoshitomi Akihito. I picked it up after reading Balance Policy, also by him, thanks to the nice cover art. Balance Policy contained some yuri as well, which would ordinarily be a nice bonus, except here it was paired with some of the most absurd ideas of how women work I’ve come across in a long time (weird stuff about periods etc.). Along with some other choices, it was quite obvious it was written by a man. I don’t think gender should prevent you from writing whatever, and I can even appreciate yuri that’s created for the male gaze, but oh man does it hurt when it’s combined with bad writing. Both Balance Policy and Nettai Shoujo got me though, since they depict summer in the countryside, which is one of my biggest weaknesses when it comes to manga settings, especially paired with queer themes. Nettai Shoujo is a collection of shorts around that theme, and it delivers, save for a couple instances where you can clearly tell it was written by a man, and a few “but I’m a girl” lines, which I didn’t know I’d come to dislike as much as I now do. In their defence, it was written in 2007, so I can’t be too mad about it.

It was only after reading Nettai Shoujo that I realised Yoshitomi Akihito is the man behind Blue Drop. I’ve read one or two installations from the series and I’ve always wanted to read through them all, so I’m now stuck in this weird love-hate relationship with Yoshitomi Akihito and his works. I’ve gotten quite busy, so I haven’t had the time to read more than the first (original) volume so far. I love the art and the sci-fi setting of lesbian aliens taking over Earth, but it feels aged and contains gratuitous fanservice, which I don’t enjoy. The girls are either undressing themselves at weird moments, too often, or it’s done to them in a way which feels exploitative. I’ll read and reread the rest of Blue Drop, and I’ll probably check out the anime too, but for now, I no longer have the time. Pride month is coming to an end too, so this shall be it for my big yuri manga review.

Thank you for taking the time to read any or all of this!

I hope you’ve been able to read some good yuri as well, and if you have any recommendations I’m happy to receive them!

RADWIMPS 「すずめの涙」 “tears of suzume” - 歌詞と英訳

undefined

in case you don’t know, this song is a play on the japanese idiom 雀の涙 ‘sparrow’s [suzume’s] tears,’ meaning ‘a drop in the bucket’ or an ‘insignificant amount’ of something. 

also, notice toward the end when it changes between 私/僕 and あなた/君? it seems to me like they’re trading verses back and forth between suzume and souta (or like abstractions of them lol), so i have *starred the verses i think are souta’s. much to think about 🤔 anyways, the rо̄maji is below the cut!

未来色した世界に　過去色まみれの 私が漂っているの　あなたは見つけたの

in a future-colored world, i am stained with the color of the past and i’m adrift　then you found me

今日の続きは明日と　どなたが決めたの？ 前ならえできない私を　日々は素通りなの

who decided that tomorrow follows today? i can’t learn from the past and the days pass me by

不思議だね　想い出と写真は 遠い過去なのに 一番新しく光るのはなぜ

isn’t it strange　my memories and photos are from long ago but they’re what shines brightest—why is that?

強くなりたいと　願えば願うほど なぜだろうその目は　私を弱くさせる

i wish with all my heart to become strong why do your eyes make me feel weak?

泣いてなんかないよ　泣くわけがないでしょ あなたが見てるのは　すずめの涙 神様も知らない　すずめの涙

i’m not crying, there’s no way i would cry what you’re seeing are sparrow’s tears sparrow’s tears even god can’t see

あの人のところへ早く　行きたいと願えど この両の足で行けるとこ　ではないようなのです

even though i wish to go swiftly to where that person is it doesn’t seem like someplace i can go by foot

過去色まみれの私の　未来をあなたは 「一緒に探してみようよ」　そう言ってくれたの

i’m stained with the color of the past, but as for my future— “let’s go find it together” you said

忘れたくない　ものばかり抱きしめ 次の未来受け取る隙間はどこにあるの？

i hug close everything that i don’t want to forget where is there any opening to receive the next future?

*強くなりたいと　思えるのは君の 泣く顔に胸が　耐えられないから

*the reason i want to become strong is because my heart can’t bear your crying face

*どうでもよくないよ　この僕にとっては 海よりも大きな　すずめの涙 海に一滴落ちれば色が変わってく

*it does make a difference, it makes a difference to me suzume’s tears that are even bigger than the ocean when one drop falls into the ocean, its color changes

強くなりたいと　願えば願うほど なぜだろうその目は　私を弱くさせる

i wish with all my heart to become strong why do your eyes make me feel weak?

泣いてなんかないよ　泣くわけがないでしょ あなたが見てるのは　すずめの涙 神様も知らない　すずめの涙

i’m not crying, there’s no way i would cry what you’re seeing are sparrow’s tears sparrow’s tears even god can’t see

*気づかぬわけないよ　そんなの無理だよ 僕にはそれしか　目に入らないほど

*there’s no way i wouldn’t notice, that’s impossible it’s the only thing i can see at all

*大きな結晶　すずめの涙

*suzume’s tears, like great crystals

Good Luck, Good Time

English Translation:

To the person I love: Good luck

Tomorrow, too, always a Good Time

To the days I love: Good Night

We don’t need any words

The empty suitcase is crammed with memories

You wordlessly discarded me

The wind coming and going from the cracked window

Indicates the season’s and our ending

I keep making myself the abandoned villain

Every time I go home, a painful return

Memories laugh in a voiceless room

I don’t need comfort, I’ll dream again tonight

Confused, wandering, stumbling, wake up

Facing down, facing each other, with pleasure, wake up

Apologizing, embracing, laughing at each other, wake up

If it was a dream, I could have told you

To the person I loved: Good Luck

Tomorrow, too, always a Good Time

To the days I loved: Good Night

We don’t need any words; too late now, we can’t change

How many seasons have I wasted?

Even though everyone says, “time will tell”

You just aren’t here in this room, even now

I don’t want to forget and I don’t plan to, either

If you notice, always, a place of memories

A crowd of people, if you notice, a familiar back

I dreamed of your profile, wrenching my heart

I even cherish that pain

To the person I loved: Stay Close

Tomorrow, too, always Stay Safe

To the days I loved: Stay Gold

Laughter, fingertips, lips, scent, too

Dreams and lies laugh in the middle of town

Running out of breath, shouting

Suddenly your eyes; time stopped

Whatever words I Should

Whatever answer I Hope

Whatever me For You

Whatever future With You

To the person I love: Get Back

Tomorrow, too, always Stand By

Those days I love, Once More

I told you those words countless times in my dreams

To the person I love: Good Luck

Tomorrow, too, always a Good Time

To those hollow days: Good Night

Let’s start one more time, if it’s now, we can change

To the person I love: Good Luck

What's going on?/Mada sou yarinokoshiten darou/Shūsei no shiyou no nai hibi no naka demo/What's going on?/Hito to wa chigau to mitometa ue de/Kanousei no rutsubo hiraku, ah

Dreaming! ishi gyakusou/shikakui sora kokoro no sukima umenu/akenu yoru kara nukeyou!/mirai no kaizoudo sage bokura wa/me wo sorashite wa naritai/ mono nante nai to usobuita hibi wo!/I Keep my ideals!/sorezore no jinsei/ai mo yume mo kiken na hodo kantan ni hi ga tsuichau no sa/gongu nari sorezore no tenmei wo!

(What's going on?/Well, I guess I haven't really finished yet/Lived day-by-day, but never tried to fix it/What's going on?/Well, I guess that I'm different from the rest/Now I recognize this is a test, ah)

(Dreaming! Counter my intentions/The four-cornered sky unable to fill the gaps in my heart/Let's run until the dawn's first light!/Dropping the resolution of the future/We're looking in the day-to-day/Let's stop trying to live a lie!/I keep my ideals!/Living my very own life/My love and dreams are so dangerously easy to ignite/Just try not to fall when destiny calls!)

「奈落」 (Naraku)

Enfers

人の目を気にして生きるのが当たり前

hito no me ni kinishite ikiru no ga atarimae

Vivre en se souciant du regard des autres est normal

自己否定染み付いてる

jiko hitei shimi tsuiteru

Faire preuve d'abnégation est ancré en moi

全部 親のせい

zenbu oya no sei

Tout est de la faute de mes parents

雑音が耳を汚す

zatsuon ga mimi wo kegasu

Un bruit parasite persiste dans mes oreilles

責任が 肩を叩く

sekinin ga kata wo tataku

Les responsabilités pèsent sur mes épaules

夥しく訪れる日々の闇

obitadashiku otozureru hibi no yami

J'invite les mauvais jours à se succéder sans fin

逃げろ すぐに逃げろ 壊れてしまう前に

nigero sugu ni nigero kowarete shimau mae ni

Enfuis-toi, vite, enfuis-toi, avant de te briser en mille morceaux

憂鬱な靄がかかる午前三時のマイウェイ

yuu utsu na moya ga kakaru gozen sanji no mai wei

Une brume déprimante plane sur moi à trois heure du matin, c'est ma façon d'être

見るな 何も見るな 夢も光さえも

miru na nanimo miru na yume mo hikari sae mo

Ne regarde pas, ne regarde absolument rien, que ce soit mes rêves ou la lumière

誰にも届かぬメロディ 奈落の底で歌え ららるら

dare ni mo todokanu merodi naraku no soko de utae rararura

Et chante une mélodie qui n'atteindra personne du fin fond des enfers ! Lalalula...

世の中を恨んで

yo no naka wo urande

J'en veux au monde entier

ジレンマを抱えて

jirenma wo kakaete

Je traîne un dilemme

成し遂げたことなどない

nashitogeta koto nado nai

Je n'ai rien accompli de moi-même

全部 人まかせ

zenbu hito makase

Je laisse tout aux autres

手の平で顔を隠して

tenohira de kao kakushite

Cachant mon visage dans mes mains

隙間から覗いた世界

sukima kara nozoita sekai

Entre mes doigts, le monde que j'ai aperçu

まるでホラー映画でもみるように

marude horaa eiga de mo miru you ni

Ressemblait à un film d'horreur

連れて行くな どこへ まだ息は出来てる

tsurete iku na doko e mada iki wa dekiteru

Ne m'emmenez pas ailleurs, je respire encore

時が来れば刹那迎えにこいよ死神

toki ga kureba setsuna mukae ni koi yo shinigami

Lorsque le temps viendra, ce sera rapide, venez me chercher dieu de la mort

藻掻き足掻き夜は 小刻みに震えた

mokaki agaki yoru wa kokizami ni furueta

J'ai frissonné dans la nuit à force de me démener et de m'inquiéter

見損いそうになった自分を守るための歌を

misokonai sou ni natta jibun wo mamoru tame no uta wo

Une chanson pour me protéger, moi qui me suis perdue de vue-

さあ

saa

Aller,

すぐに逃げろ 壊れてしまう前に

sugu ni nigero kowarete shimau mae ni

Enfuis-toi, vite, avant de te briser en mille morceaux

憂鬱な靄がかかる午前三時のマイウェイ

yuu utsu na moya ga kakaru gozen sanji no mai wei

Une brume déprimante plane sur moi à trois heure du matin, c'est ma façon d'être

見るな 何も見るな 夢も光さえも

miru na nanimo miru na yume mo hikari sae mo

Ne regarde pas, ne regarde absolument rien, que ce soit mes rêves ou la lumière

誰にも届かぬメロディ 奈落の底で歌え ららるら

dare ni mo todokanu merodi naraku no soko de utae rararura

Et chante une mélodie qui n'atteindra personne du fin fond des enfers ! Lalalula...

If you ask me, I would say this album does not portray suicide as a good thing. However, the content is quite heavy. So please heed the warnings.

English translation

From the gaps between the towering buildings I wonder what I can discover The clouds in the night sky sigh And then disappeared in the hustle bustle

I didn't know where this long endless highway would end Carrying the pain to continue running The city shines today too

I'm sure you didn't notice The crossing stretching across left and right I wasn't going to wake up anymore That's why I was drinking a cup of coffee

Awakening World The endless road Tell me Your Word It's a dream's trace opened up by someone Yes, it is a dream's trace Awakening World I step forward While keeping your words echoeing in my head one more time I can still keep going

Crossing the road in the crowd I search for solitude by myself The path of walking and looking back The faces and voices of people walking by There's no way I'd remember them I don't even know where I'm walking

(Such a guy) He's unexpectedly everywhere (Even someone like me) Probably isn't unusual (Even in such a case) I'm unconsciously refusing to give up

Awakening World, the traces that ran away Tell me Your World It's proof that I kept running Yes, it is my proof Awakening World, Where is this city? It seems to remind me of your words again It was too bright

Even if I fall in the middle of a long spiral staircase Will I be at the observatory that I was aiming for?

I don't plan on ever waking up again yeah... Please notice

Awakening World...

Awakening World The endless road Tell me Your Word It's a dream's trace opened up by someone Yes, it is a dream's trace Awakening World I step forward While keeping your words echoeing in my head one more time Just a little further, I can still keep going I can still keep going

Kanji

高くそびえ立つビルの隙間から 僕は何を見つけるだろうか ため息は夜空を曇らせて 喧騒の中に消えた

この長く果てしない幹線道路はどこで 終わりを告げるのか想像もつかなくて 走り続ける苦しみを抱いて 今日も街は輝く

きっと気づかないフリさ 右左見ず渡る横断歩道 もう 目覚めないつもりかい そう言って缶コーヒー飲み干していた

Awakening World 果てない道は Tell me Your Word 誰かが切り拓いた夢の跡だ そう夢の跡なんだ Awakening World 僕は踏み出す もう一度 キミの言葉を頭に響かせながら まだ行けるさ

人混みで息苦しい交差点 独りを求めて彷徨って ひとしきり歩いて振り返る道筋 すれ違う人の顔も声も　そういや何ーつ覚えていないや どこを向いて歩いてきたかすらもう分からないや

(そんな奴なんて)案外あちふれていて (そんなぼくだって)珍しくないだろう (そんな中だって)諦めるって事すら無意識に避けている

Awakening World 逃げてきた跡も Tell me Your World 僕が走り続けた証だ　そう僕の証なんだ Awakening World この街はどこか もう一度　キミの言葉を思い出させるみたいで　眩しすぎたんだ

長い螺旋階段の途中で落ちかけても 展望台を目指す僕はいるのだろうか

もう目覚めないつもりかいyeah... 気付いてよ

Awakening World...

Awakening World 果てない道は Tell me Your Word 誰かが切り拓いた夢の跡だ そう夢の跡なんだ Awakening World 僕は踏み出す もう一度 キミの言葉を頭に響かせながら まだあと少し行けるさ

行けるさ　Wow...

何気ない場所で笑う幸せ Nanigenai basho de warau shiawase Aún no sabemos qué forma tiene

その形を僕らまだ知らない Sono katachi o bokura mada shiranai La felicidad de reír en un lugar casual

きっと「いつか」の「どこか」で Kitto “itsuka” no “dokoka” de Seguramente si “algún día” en “algún lugar”

巡り合えたなら Meguriaeta nara La encontramos por casualidad,

僕らは家族になれる Bokura wa kazoku ni nareru Podremos ser una familia

明日が見えない Ashita ga mienai No podemos ver el mañana

自分が見えない Jibun ga mienai Ni podemos vernos a nosotros mismos

現実なんてこんなもんさ Genjitsu nante konna mon sa La realidad es algo así

素直に伝えなくちゃ分からないことがある Sunao ni tsutaenakucha wakaranai koto ga aru Tenemos que hablar honestamente de las  cosas que no entendemos

嬉しいとき　悲しいとき Ureshii toki kanashii toki Cuando estamos felices o cuando estamos tristes,

その全部を分かち合える人がいる Sono zenbu o wakachiaeru hito ga iru Tenemos a alguien con quien podemos compartir todo eso

もしも見つけられたらその手をぎゅっと離すな Moshimo mitsukeraretara sono te o gyuuto hanasu na Si puedes encontrar a alguien así, toma su mano con fuerza y no lo dejes ir

僕らはまだ　それを知らない Bokura wa mada sore o shiranai Nosotros aún no lo sabemos

独りじゃないそんな毎日を Hitori janai sonna mainichi o Pero en nuestro día a día ya no estamos solos

ただいま、とおかえり、が咲く大事な場所 Tadaima, to okaeri, ga saku daiji na basho Un lugar importante donde el “ya volví” y el “bienvenido” florecen

いつか分かるから Itsuka wakaru kara Algún día lo encontraremos

自分以外の鳴らす足音を Jibun igai no narasu ashioto o Si llega el día en que te sientas amado

愛おしく思える日が来たなら Itooshiku omoeru hi ga kita nara Por el sonido de los pasos de alguien además de los propios,

そっと溶けてく独りが Sotto toketeku hitori ga La soledad que suavemente se va derritiendo

壊れないように大切に守り抜こう Kowarenai you ni taisetsu ni mamorinukou Va a protegerlo con mucho cuidado para que no se rompa

保証なんてない Hoshou nante nai Sin garantías

あても何もない Atemo nanimo nai Y sin tener algún objetivo,

確かな芽吹きだけ信じた Tashika na mebuki dake shinjita Sólo creímos en ciertos brotes

少し無謀な僕ら不器用だと笑うかい？ Sukoshi mubou na bokura bukiyou da to warau kai? ¿Te reirías de que somos un poco imprudentes y torpes?

Stella by Fling Posse (En, romaji, kanji)

English translation, romaji, and Japanese after the cut.

English translation:

(Gentaro) Somewhere, a star shoots across the sky As though being pulled, it traced the edge of the night A king of the planet of the burned sword, A thief from the planet of crystal on the right and sand on the left, And a scientist from the star that lost its light in the far off corner of the universe… By chance, they looked up at the same shooting star A ship loaded with fragments of their story Took off in the blink of an eye

(Dice) The rest of the countries are destroyed, a gate to the undone rule of might I left but I’m still surrounded by smoke and the leftover scent of defeat The tragically ignorant people said they believed in something like a miracle A fugitive chased from the planet while burning in remorse and regrets A monochrome window to a distant throne Is sticking to ideals a fatal poison? If that’s the way it is, then it’s like playing to a crowd The lifeboat is set down, headed towards an unfamiliar planet Venez m'aider (come and help) [1] Meditate the meaning of why I was left alive, and dream of the day I can rebuild

A played back verse I reached out to the shooting star The universe that extends to the beginning Connects to the future with the ending in mind That one unwavering star, deep inside, And repeat again and again Step out into orbit Eternal reincarnation A true shooting star Dancing across space “Stella by Starlight” Its distorted path is luminous

(Gentaro) Strangely, it seems a visitor crashed here, tonight He’s fallen here, but it’s like the moon has also fallen A former king? You don’t know anything, but know that a thief has to live as a thief I can’t have my head dancing around in space The world is a jigsaw puzzle created by sadistic priests, wherein Without reason, history has been hypnotized to look like people live and die with their social status (i.e. social class based on wealth) [2] Ah, because I want to kill this boredom that is creeping up my throat Take me with you, Messiah

A played back verse I reached out to the shooting star The universe that extends to the beginning Connects to the future with the ending in mind That one unwavering star, deep inside, And repeat again and again Step out into orbit Eternal reincarnation A true shooting star Dancing across space “Stella by Starlight” Its distorted path is luminous

(Ramuda) It’s quite a story of a lot of hardships from far away This place is covered with ice, and I’m the only thing living To attend to my research, I separated myself from a moral life (way of people) [3] Like paper scraps of a love letter, but the recipient is forgotten Like material left at the end of a labyrinth Like a white camellia that blooms forever [4] In the face of truth, things like ethics weigh you down In my pursuit, I stopped aging For a fragment of the life that I desired, but it was all a daydream I lament in a nocturne that I am already too late

Noise from between the stars Steal the night sky Like a ephemeral collage, starlight starlight

Ramuda: Why do you bother with me? Dice: You seem to be similar to us. Gentaro: Something like “birds of a feather”? [5] Dice: Maybe. Ramuda: It doesn’t matter. [6] Dice: You’re a slave to a wish. Ramuda: How can you tell? Gentaro: You can tell by looking. It’s like you lost something Gentaro, Dice: Like a glass bead. Ramuda: If I could, someday I would want to see my homeland. Dice: Then it’s decided. Ramuda: I don’t know if it’s even there. Gentaro: If you stay in this place, nothing will change. Dice: Then, about where this empty ship will end up… Dice, Gentaro: Why don’t we place a bet?

The universe is blocked off Shut in darkness The feint light of a falling star Lights up this strange connection Only the will to try again is firmly expressed Adding heat to the fire Emerging from the cocoon

Keep your feet facing forward Don’t make a mistake even if you pause on your next step Keep your feet facing forward With only a single focus, let’s cherish the mistakes we make sometimes Step out as far as possible So that your own shadow can’t catch you when you look back Keep your feet facing forward Asking at the end of dawn This is a story of stumbling as a means to fly

A played back verse I reached out to the shooting star The universe that extends to the beginning Connects to the future with the ending in mind That one unwavering star, deep inside, And repeat again and again Step out into orbit Eternal reincarnation A true shooting star Dancing across space “Stella by Starlight” Its distorted path is luminous

Japanese (kanji):

どこかで星が流れた それは手繰られるように夜の縁をなぞった 焼け落ちた剣の星で王様が 右側が水晶、左側が砂の星で山賊が 光り方を忘れた隅っこの星で科学者が ふと同じ流星を仰いだ 物語の切れ端を乗せた船は 瞬きの隙間を縫って飛び去った

余の国は滅びた　綻びた覇道への扉 立ち退く身を尚も取り巻く硝煙と敗戦の残り香 奇跡の到来などを信じた悲劇の蒙昧と民は云った 自責と後悔に灼かれながら星を追われる逃亡者 モノクロな窓の向こう遠のく王座 死に至る猛毒とは理想の主張か なればこそ人を説くようだ 降下し出す救命艇　見知らぬ星に向ける Venez m’aider 生かされた意味を meditate　再建の日を夢見て

再生の Verse 流星に手を伸ばす 始まりが連なるユニバース 繋いでいく未来 with the ending in mind 揺るぎない一つの星が deep inside 何度だって繰り返す 軌道に沿って踏み出す いつまでも reincarnation 偽りの無い shooting star 宙に舞う“Stella by Starlight” 軌跡は歪な方が Luminous

妙に洒落たナリの客人だな今夜は 堕ちた先がここじゃツキも落ちたようだな 元王様か何か知らんが盗賊には盗賊の流儀があると知れ 首が宙に舞うといけねえ 世界はサディストな Priest 達が描くジグソーパズル 理由も無く貧富の差で死ぬような Hypnotize された Histoire なぁ喉元を這いずるこの退屈を殺したいんだ 俺も奪い去ってくれメサイア

Ramuda 遥々ご苦労なこと大層な話だね 氷に覆われたここで生命は私だけ 研究は気が付けば人の道を外れた 誰が為かも忘れた紙屑のようなラブレター 迷宮の果てにあるマテリアル 永久を糧に咲く白いカメリア 真理の前には倫理の叫びなど枷(かせ)になる 追い求めたくて老いを止めた 恋い焦がれた命の欠片　全ては白昼夢 もう遅いんだよと慟哭する Nocturne

星の合間からノイズ 夜空を攫(さら)い 空蝉のコラージュみたいな starlight starlight

「何故私に構うんだ。」 「似ている気がしたんだ。」 「同じ穴のムジナってか。」 「さてな。」 「くだらない。」 「願いに囚われている。」 「何故わかる？」 「目でわかるさ。何かを失ってガラス玉のようだ。」

「叶うならいつか故郷が見たいな。」 「なら決まりだ。」 「あるのかもわからない。」 「此処にいても変わらない。」 「では虚ろなこの船が何処へ着(ゆ)くのか賭けてみないか。」

宇宙は塞がり 閉じ篭った暗がり 星が落とす薄明かり 照らし出す不思議な繋がり 再びを願う心だけがじっと伝わり 熱をくべる篝 羽化していく蛹

爪先は前に向けておく 立ち止まった次の一歩目でも間違えないように 爪先は前に向けておく ただ一途な目でいつか過ちすら愛でよう 爪先はできる限り遠く踏み込む 振り返る時自分の影が追い付けないように 爪先は前に向けておく 暁の果てに問う これは躓きを糧に飛ぶ story

再生の Verse 流星に手を伸ばす 始まりが連なるユニバース 繋いでいく未来 with the ending in mind 揺るぎない一つの星が deep inside 何度だって繰り返す 軌道に沿って踏み出す いつまでも reincarnation 偽りの無い shooting star 宙に舞う“Stella by Starlight” 軌跡は歪な方が Luminous

T/N:

“Venez m'aider” is French for “come and help,” but also the distress signal “mayday” is a shortening of this phrase.

The nuance is that people are stuck in their financial or social status, more lit. “and die with the difference in wealth”.

Lit. “way of people,” but the meaning is meant to be a life led by morals.

I interpreted these three examples as related to Ramuda’s “pursuit” as metaphors. (paper scraps -> have to be gathered, but recipient is forgotten; material in labyrinth -> as in a game, you have to journey to find it; a white camelia that blooms forever -> a certain kind of “scientific” pursuit, parallels that Ramuda “stopped aging”).

Lit. “Badgers from the same hole,” an idiom for same type of people, usually applied to “bad guys,” but since Gentaro is saying it about himself, he’s using it in a self-deprecating way.

More lit. “How worthless,” but based on his character in this song, it seems Ramuda would find anything outside of his personal pursuit worthless.

The song often uses the structure “you ni” which is a common structure used at the end of making a wish (to a star, at a shrine, etc.). I like how the lyrics use this structure continuously throughout the song as well as the similar structure “you da.” 

–> The bridge part with it’s “you ni” is kind of playing on this structure as well, but with “keep your feet forward” as a way to make the wish come true.

There are a lot of interesting lines in which homonyms are used though they have different meaning, so I think it’s interesting to see the pronunciation and the kanji as well.

Extra analysis (subjective, updating):

French lyrics point to two references with French sources –>

A Trip to the Moon (silent film) by Georges Méliès: a science fiction film about finding new horizons. Also, Dice’s line *monochrome window* as this film is in black in white as well as the film rollng sound at the beginning of the song. (Note: in Gentaro’s verse, “moon” is actually written in katagana, and by nature left open to interpretation.)

The Little Prince, a picture book by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry: the planet hopping as well how the planets are described in general, as well as finding “ridiculousness” at each planet. The prince also longs to return home. (Additionally, a flower, in this case a camellia, at does not age, i.e. does not die –> In The Little Prince, the prince wants to protect a rose he has fallen in love with. I think there are more meta connections in general to the Little Prince/Saint-Exupéry, but I’m going to stop here.)

Other references

Peter Pan: Ramuda’s “stopped aging” as well as stepping far enough out so that your shadow can’t catch you.

“Stella by Starlight” most famously known as a jazz standard by Victor Young (Lyrics by Ned Washington) and featured in the film The Uninvited (1944), a horror film, but I think the reference is more to the standard itself which was revived in the 1960′s, performed by many famous jazz musicians, and sung by many famous singers. The lyrics are about a woman who is the object of affection of the songwriter. More recently, “Stella by Starlight” was also referenced in Hozier’s song “Almost (Sweet Music)” earlier this year.

Stella by Starlight: 

The song a robin sings Through years of endless springs The murmur of a brook at evening tides That ripples through a nook where two lovers hide That great symphonic theme That’s Stella by starlight And not a dream My heart and I agree She’s everything on this earth to me That great symphonic theme That’s Stella by starlight And not a dream My heart and I agree She’s everything on this earth to me
