Unlucky Morpheus/サクラシュバリエ/SAKURA chevalier

桜よ今　騎士の熱き血潮と共に咲け

Oh fair sakura <cherry blossom>, feast on the hot blood of the Chevalier <knight> now, and bloom ! *

白雪が溶けて芽吹く春に この想いを晴らす　時は来た 藍褸を脱いで鎧を纏い 勇往邁進いざ参らん！

White snows melts and buds appear at spring

It's time for me to clear these feelings

Exchange these rags for a shining armor

March forth with bravery !

東の天が紅く染まり 刀が交わる 火花が散る

Eastern heaven turns crimson

As katanas <swords> clashes

Sparks fly

桜よ今　騎士の熱き血潮と共に 萌やせよ桜花絢爛　貫き通せ

Oh fair cherry blossom, feast on the hot blood of the Chevalier <knight> now

Let the buds** blossom with all their splendor !

童の抱く未来も恋も夢も全て背負い突き進む 巫女は公平の秤は持たぬ 胆大心小　潜り抜けろ！

With the weight of the future, love and dreams of children on my back, I push foward

A Miko <shrine maiden> doesn't posseses the scale of justice

But the brave reserve*** pushing her to go forth !

あぁ遥か西の楽園に 永遠の平和　あるだろうか

Ah, if we reach Paradise at the far west

Will we find eternal peace there ?

桜よ今　誇り高き闘志を乗せて 花びら　風に舞いどこまでも飛べ 匠よ今　至極の技　刹那に放て 勝利を削り出せ　骨が砕けても

Oh fair sakura <cherry blossom>, yield your proud fighting spirit

Your petals dance in the wind and fly to the endless sky

O craftmasn, soon you'll reveal your supreme skill

For a sharp victory, no matter how many bones you'll break !

泰然自若の 誠の心を胸に秘めて

My chest hides within a honest heart beating with calm

東の城で静かに待つ 次の戦いを 百折不撓

I quietly await in the eastern castle

My unyielding spirit year for the next battle

桜よ今　騎士の熱き血潮と共に 萌やせよ桜花絢爛　貫き通せ 桜よ今　誇り高き闘志を乗せて 花びら　風に舞いどこまでも飛べ 前人未到へ　咲け

Oh fair sakura <cherry blossom>, feast on the hot blood of the Chevalier <knight> now

Let the buds blossom with all their splendor !

Oh fair sakura <cherry blossom>, yield your proud fighting spirit

Your petals dance in the wind and fly to the endless sky

Bloom like you never did before !

*According to some legends, the sakura-tree gets its beautiful color from feeding off the blood of the corpses who died under it. While the literal translation would be "blossom like the hot blood of the knight", I'd prefer to translate it that way since I think it was what Fuki was referencing

**while sakura refers to both the cherry blossom tree and its flowers, the kanji 桜 is this time complemented with the kanji 花 for flower, so I decided to translated it by bud to evoke the idea that this time the narrator makes an explicit reference to the flower of the tree

***胆大心小 refers to "being bold and paying attention to small details", "bold but timid", an oxymoron of sort

A section from a Young Guitar interview with Shiren and Jinya

Original interview

YG: So, on the band’s YouTube channel, you have a video series called “Q&A” where the members answer various questions. In one of those videos, when discussing your impressions of each other, Shiren described Jinya as “like a sun without a blood relation,” while Jinya called Shiren a “reliable leader.” What are your impressions of each other as guitarists?

Shiren: Jinya is, well, a bit of a perfectionist. To me, it’s like he fixates on peculiar things.

Jinya: Hahaha (laughs).

Shiren: For instance, if an object on a desk shifts even a millimeter, it bothers him… that’s kind of the impression his guitar playing gives. He doesn’t like it when things stray even slightly off the grid (laughs).

Jinya: I think I just don’t like it when things aren’t where they’re supposed to be. That’s the image I give off, right? Totally relatable (laughs).

Shiren: I see him as a guitarist with a more relative sense of value. I sometimes wonder if that’s just how modern guitarists are. Not that I’m old myself (laughs). He’s also incredibly knowledgeable about gear. My interest in equipment is pretty low, so I’m grateful when Jinya teaches me things (laughs).

Jinya: Shiren has a sound that’s original and carries a strong presence, no matter what he plays. When we first met, I saw him as a high-tech guitarist who could play incredibly fast. But after working together for a while, I realized he has this unusual conviction in his long tones and slower phrases. I’m not sure if this comparison fits, but it’s like Yngwie Malmsteen—he’s known for his speed, but there’s incredible power in his vibrato and long tones, too. I feel a similar nuance in Shiren’s style. He has a tone with originality that anyone can recognize. Even when he’s dealt with injuries, he finds the next step without a problem, with a “this is that, and that is that” kind of mindset (laughs).

Shiren: (laughs) I think it’s not just us; every guitarist has their own unique tone, which makes things interesting. Even if we swap gear, people often say that we still sound like ourselves. For example, on “Unfinished,” we considered using the same guitar to match the tone for the solos, but the results were still a little different. Since both of us are playing, that’s totally fine, but it reminded me during recording of just how interesting it is.

Jinya: Often in solos, the first half emphasizes melody and the second half is all about speed, so the differences in our styles come through there. We even split sections that way sometimes—for instance, Shiren would handle the melodic part, and then I’d play the faster section. It really showcases our individual strengths, like a vibe similar to the Amott brothers from Arch Enemy.

YG: Sounds like your combination is getting even better.

Jinya: Well, if you’ve been together for ten years, you get good at it whether you want to or not (laughs). Not that I mind, of course.
