Kiyoharu - 流星


Band: 清春 (Kiyoharu)
Album: 流星
Song: 流星 (Ryuusei / Shooting star)

 作詞:清春   作曲:清春
英訳: VKE

口紅を指先で遅く触った
化粧は逃げ回る壁の鏡 暗くて

色彩は揺れ合うよ  選べるほどに
話してた事は夢また夢に  変わるよ

光る流星 追い越した  笑ってね、ああ確か
寄り添うと目が合えば  数えた距離  忘れてゆくよ  君とこうして

Siriusを愛して  これさえ知った
交わした未来はDaystar light覆って
なだらかなKissと後は流星  視界を揺らした
二十を愛して  それさえ切った
流した涙 Daystar light追って
もっと長いくちづけをしたくて  手を取った Ah

嫌う天性  消え去るよ  高い壁届いたね
ただそっと  分け合って  重ねた愛撫、報われゆくよ  君はそして

Siriusを指して  夢さえあった
交わした未来はDaystar light覆って
なだらかなKissよ、まるで流星  視界を揺らした
「二十を愛して」それさえ言った
交わした涙 Daystar light追って
あとは長いKissを書き足したくて  手を取った Ah

Lyrics: Kiyoharu     Composition: Kiyoharu
Translation: VKE

You slowly felt your lipstick with your fingertips
Makeup is a mirror on walls running round and round, dark

The colors swing together, so you can choose
What we spoke of was a dream, and will become a dream again

The shining shooting star passed over  Laugh, ah, for sure
When we get close, our eyes meet and we forget the distance

Love Sirius, we even knew this
Our promised future enshrouds the day-star light
A gentle kiss and thereafter is a shooting star  It shook my view
Love twenty, we even knew that
Shed tears pursuing the day-star light
Wanting a longer kiss, I took your hand

The nature we hate will disappear  We reached the high wall
Just softly share it Repeated caresses will be returned and then you...

Pointing our Sirius, we even had a dream
Our promised future enshrouds the day-star light
The gentle kiss was just like a shooting star  It shook my view
"Love twenty" we even said that
Shed tears pursuing the day-star light
Later, wanting to add a long kiss, I took your hand

Plastic Tree - くちづけ



Band: プラスティックトゥリー (Plastic Tree)
Album: くちづけ
Song: くちづけ (Kuchizuke / Kiss)

作詞:有村竜太朗     作曲:長谷川正
英訳:VKE

雨音を聞いていた 鍵盤を叩くような
気づいたら記憶まで滲みだした そんな夜
呼吸する心臓が ざざ鳴りに重なれば
ふたりしかいない国 傘の中でたどり着いてた

見上げても掴めない 切れてしまう蜘蛛の糸
問いもない答えなら いっそ求めないままで

裂けて笑う傷跡に 触れてみたら面影
明日さえも手放せば 日々は泡

瞼を伏せて花が咲く くちづけは夢
美しい嘘をつく 君と僕
さよならは胸の内 やまなくて雨
ざわめきもあざむきも隠す

不確かな永遠でまほろばに結末を
手にいれて失って
躯 こゝろ きっと忘れる

愛を知った 曖昧なんだ 逢い違って 相果てちゃうの
IOエラー 哀憐ばっか 愛情なんて 哀情なんです
(哀韻踏んで 哀願しては 哀咽する 哀婉な様)

刻む無情 涙声 微熱冷めぬばかりだ
いつか失くなってくなら 全部消して

瞼を伏せて花が咲く くちづけは夢
美しい嘘をつく 君と僕
鮮やかな透明で流れ込む雨
受け止めて 受け止めて
瞼を閉じて花開く くらやみで夢
何処までも何処へでも 一晩中
さよならは胸の奥 やまないで雨
ざわめきもあざむきも隠して 隠して


Lyrics: Arimura Ryuutarou  Composition: Hasegawa Tadashi
Translation: VKE

I was listening to the rain, like it was pounding a keyboard
Then I noticed that night had penetrated my deepest thoughts
Counting my heart's respirations to the sound of rain
A country with just us two Struggling on under an umbrella

Looking up, I can't grab the spider's thread that would snap*
I'd rather not wish for an answer without a question

When I try touching the splitting wounds, the traces
If you just let go of tomorrow, the days are bubbles

Shut your eyes and the flower blooms The kiss was a dream
You and I tell a beautiful lie
The farewell is inside my breast and the rain won't stop
I'll hide the noise and deception

[Give] an end to this paradise with an uncertain eternity
Seize it and lose it
You'll surely forget body and mind

I knew love It's vague Mistaking each other We'll end together
I/O error Just pity What love What sadness
(Rhyming sad words  To beg is to gracefully cry)*

The cruelty, tears, fever etched into me won't abate
If they'll fade sometime, erase them all

Shut your eyes and the flower blooms The kiss was a dream
You and I tell a beautiful lie
The pouring rain, vividly transparent
Catch it Catch it
Close your eyes and the flower opens A dream in the darkness
No matter whence or whither, all through the night
The farewell is inside my breast Don't stop, rain
Hide the noise and deception Hide it



*A literary allusion to Akutagawa's "Spider Thread" about Buddha saving a man from hell by lowering a spider thread down from heaven.

*Every part of this stanza begins with the syllable ``ai", which by itself means love, but all the words are sad.

D'espairsRay - R.E.M.-冬の幻聴


Band: ディスパーズレイ (D'espairsRay)
Album: Redeemer
Song: R.E.M.-冬の幻聴 (R.E.M.-Fuyu no genchou / R.E.M.-Auditory hallucinations in winter)

作詞: HIZUMI  作曲: Karyu
英訳: VKE

君が居ない部屋の隅
口ずさむ歌
悲しみが募る

刻む秒針の音
空気を伝う鼓動
息深く沈めて...

壊れそうなこの胸に突き刺さる声
いつだって聞えていた
幻聴のように鳴り響くメロディー
そっと目を塞いだ...

夢見た...君の横顔
あざやかに失っていく
思い出も愛しさもすべてを
忘れかけた花が咲くように蘇る

君が居た頃のようにうまく笑えなくて
虚しさが募る
降らす雪の音色
凍える冬のアート
舞い踊る恋人
幻のように映し出すメモリー
凍る息は空へ溶けた

擦れ違う...君に触れていた手が
静けさに消えていくぬくもりに恋をしたずっと
舞い続ける想い
過ぎ去った日を彷徨う

叫びたい
君が焦がれた
羽撃ける
この空が傷になり溺れてもずっと
君がくれた愛を
いつまでも消えないよう
夢見た...君の横顔
独り想うよ帰れはしない場所を


Lyrics: Hizumi Composition: Karyu
Translation: VKE

In the corner of a room without you
A song is being hummed
The sadness grows

The sound of a second hand ticking away
The heartbeat traversing the air
Sinking with deep breaths

The voice that stabs into this breaking breast
I could always hear it
A melody echoing like an auditory hallucination
Softly I closed my eyes

I dreamt of your face
Vividly fading away
The memories and the tenderness, everything
They'll return like a flower that blooms after you've forgotten it

I can't smile like when you were with me
The emptiness grows
The color of the falling snow
The art of the freezing winter
Dancing lovers
Memories that are projected like phantoms
My frozen breath dissolves into the sky

My hand that touched you passes by
I always loved you with a warmth that's [now] fading into serenity
Emotions that keep dancing
Roaming through the days gone by

I want to scream
I yearned for you
I can flap my wings
Always, even if the sky wounds me and I drown
The love you gave me
Let it never fade away
I dreamt of your face
Thinking all alone
of that place where I can't return

the GazettE - Untitled

ご無沙汰をして、ごめんください。


Band: ガゼット (the GazettE)
Album: Toxic
Song: Untitled

作詞: RUKI     作曲: the GazettE
英訳: VKE

いいわけを静かに聞き流してくれたのは…
「夢を見ていたよ 縋り付くだけのキミに」

―ありふれた言葉並べて 隙間を埋めるのは簡単ね
許し合う事に疲れたのは いつまでも変わらぬキミの嘘―

Why do I repeat myself again?

悲しませる「癖」にまた一つ言葉を失くす
その涙の理由さえも何故僕は壊すのだろう?

俯き床をなぞる 交わさぬこの目を見つめ
問いかける声にまだ膝を抱えたままで

―ありふれた言葉並べて 隙間を埋めるのは簡単ね
許し合う事に疲れたのは いつまでも変わらぬキミの嘘―

Why do I repeat myself again?

悲しませる「癖」にまた一つ言葉を失くす
その涙の理由さえも何故僕は壊すのだろう?

いつかの君が言っていた最期が見えた気がして

少しずつ消えてゆく変わらない君の笑みに
少しずつ離れてゆく心に触れた気がした

そう…悲しみが これ以上聞こえぬように

そっと耳を塞ぐように

壊れてしまわないように



Lyrics: Ruki  Composition: the GazettE
Translation: VKE­­­

The one who quietly ignored my excuse...
"I dreamt of you just clinging to me"

Filling in the cracks with trite phrases is easy, right?
I'm tired of forgiving you for your constant, ceaseless lies

Why do I repeat myself again?

I lose my words once again with my "habit" of causing sadness
 Why must I destroy even the reason for those tears?

Following the floor with my head down, you gaze at my unchanging eyes
Still down in a fetal position, that inquiring voice

Filling in the cracks with trite phrases is easy, right?
I'm tired of forgiving you for your constant, ceaseless lies

Why do I repeat myself again?

I lose my words once again with my "habit" of causing sadness
 Why must I destroy even the reason for those tears?

One time you had said that you thought you saw the end

Vanishing bit by bit into your unchanging smile
I felt like I touched your heart growing farther and farther apart

Yeah...As if I won't hear any more sadness

As if I've softly covered my ears

As if it won't come crashing down

the GazettE - さらば



Band: ガゼット (the GazettE)
Album: Disorder
Song: さらば (Saraba / Farewell)


作詞: 流鬼.  作曲: 大日本異端芸者の皆様
英訳: VKE

平和そのもののこの街は今日も青空日本晴れです。
黒い飛行機雲、止まぬ空襲の音。
日本の平和もこれで終りですか?
ラジオやテレビは他国の犠牲晒す
次は我が身と語らぬジャーナリスト
他人面した偽善者は決まって
「戦争は仕方が無い」と言う。
反戦の声はいつまで経っても届かない
教えて、何故同じ人間同士が争うの?

平和が何時も人を甘やかすから 現代の日本は狂ってしまった
政治や警察や学校や家庭は 今じゃお互い傷付け合ってる
ふざけるな、やめてくれ このまま腐って逝くのか日本よ

昔、人々は国の為に悔いなく死んだ
今を生きる人よいつか思い出して。

さらば国の為散って逝った人達よ
さらば日本を愛していた人達よ
きっとこのまま誰も日本を変えれぬ
日の丸は何時か沈んでしまうだろう
だから僕らは歌うよ。
「AN ANTI WAR SONG」I will sing all together.
この世界が笑顔で溢れる日まで
「AN ANTI WAR SONG」Sound this world.
もう誰も傷付け合わないように
「AN ANTI WAR SONG」I will sing all together.
身を犠牲にして教えてくれた人達の為にも
「AN ANTI WAR SONG」Sound this world.
世界が幸せと笑顔で溢れる日まで

さらば。この國を日本を守る為に命を落とした人達よ。
同じ日本に生まれた事を誇りに思う。
貴方達が身をもって教えてくれた、
戦争の無意味さ、悲しみ、痛み、そして死。
一生忘れはしません。
ありがとう。さらば、風になった人々よ。
日の丸は守ります。
さらば



Lyrics: Ruki  Composition: All of you heretical subjects of Japan
Translation: VKE

Today again it's clear Japanese weather, a blue sky in this peaceful town
Black vapor trails, ceaseless air raid sirens.
Will this be the end of Japanese peace?
The radio and TV expose the victims of the foreign powers
Next is a journalist who won't converse with me
Of course they face the others, the hypocrites
who say "We have no choice except war"
No matter when it is, the anti-war voices will not be heard
Tell me: why do we fight our fellow humans?

Since peace always spoils the people, modern Japan has gone crazy
The government and the police and the schools and the families are all hurting each other
Stop fucking around, quit it! At this rate, you'll rot away, Japan

In the past, the people died for their country without regret
Those of you who live now, remember that

Farewell, those who went to their death for the good of the country
Farewell, those who loved Japan
At this rate, no one will be able to change Japan
The Hinomaru* will fall at some point
That's why we sing
"An anti-war song" We will sing all together
Until the day when this world is filled with smiles
"An anti-war song" Resound throughout this world
So that no one will hurt each other anymore
"An anti-war song" We will sing all together
And for the people who gave their lives in sacrifice
"An anti-war song" Resound throughout this world
Until the day when this world is filled with happiness and smiles

Farewell, to those who gave their lives to protect the country, to protect Japan.
We who were born in that same Japan think of you with honor.
You taught us with your bodies
The senselessness of war, the sadness, the pain, and the death.
Our whole lives, we won't forget.
Thank you. Farewell, those who have become one with the wind.
We'll protect the Hinomaru.
Farewell


*Hinomaru is the name of the Japanese flag. It literally means the circle of the sun.

Rin toshite Shigure - I not crazy am you are



Band: 凛として時雨 (Ling tosite Sigure / Rin toshite Shigure)
Album: inspiration is DEAD
Song: I not crazy am you are

作詞:北嶋徹 作曲:北嶋徹
英訳: VKE

破壊しそうな神経を君に見せたいんだ 記憶に混ざりたい
偽者よ 僕を掻き回してよ 君に見せたいんだ 僕のSuicide現象

紙に描いた空想に揺れる音の妄想 開け放した残像を「覗き込んで」
僕を掻き鳴らしてよ 君に見せたいんだ 僕の開放現象

頭の奥の柔らかい意識は 時間に溶けてしまう do you know crazy?
誰かが僕を変えてしまう 段々君にも飽きてきた
いつも誰かが頭の中で 「君はもう狂ってる」って

頭の中が真っ赤になって どこかのページが今にも破裂しそう
君は僕の後方 誰かの意識を斜めに黙って見つめてる

壊れそうな夕景を君に見せたいんだ 記憶を戻したい

君の奥の柔らかい意識は 僕に溶けてしまう do you know am you are?
逆相している景色の中では 現実だけ 今 無くなって
いつも誰かが頭の中で 「君はもう狂ってる」って

破壊していく瞬間を君に見せたいんだ 二人だけの世界は
偽者さ 僕を掻き回してよ 君に見せたいんだ 僕と君の残像

マイナス夜に段々世界も君も宇宙も重なって生きてる
君は僕の後方 誰かの意識を斜めに黙って見つめてる
君の視線は崩壊されて 僕が見えなくなっていく
僕を掻き回してよ 狂ってしまったのは君なんだよ

Sadisticな夏は終わって グレイの空を通り越していく
555は記憶の気配を無意識に連れ去っていく
僕を掻き回してよ 狂ってしまったのは君なんだよ
i not crazy am you are do you know crazy

僕は意味不明になっていく 僕は景色不能になっていく 僕は君不明になっていく i know crazy


Lyrics: Kitajima Tooru Composition: Kitajima Tooru
Translation: VKE

I want to show you my nerves on the brink of collapse I want to mix them with memories
Imposter, stir me up! I want to show you my suicidal illusion

The delusion of a swinging sound of a daydream drawn on paper Peer into the imprint left open
Strum me! I want to show you my open illusion

The soft consciousness deep within my head will fuse with time Do you know crazy?
Someone's changing me, I'm gradually getting bored with you
There's always someone in my head telling me: "you've already gone crazy"

Any minute now, my head's going to become bright red and some pages are going to explode
You're behind me, staring silently diagonally at someone's consciousness

I want to show you the collapsing dusk I want my memories back

The soft consciousness deep within you will fuse with me Do you know am you are?
In the reversed scenery, reality is disappearing now
There's always someone in my head telling me: "you've already gone crazy"

I want to show you the collapsing moment the world with just us two
Imposter, stir me up! I want to show you the afterimage of me and you

In the freezing night, gradually the world and you and space pile up and live
You're behind me, staring silently diagonally at someone's consciousness
Your gaze is crumbling, I'm falling invisible
Stir me up! You're the crazy one!

The sadistic summer is over and we're going past the grey skies
The 555 is carrying off the signs of memory into unsciousness
Stir me up! You're the crazy one!
I not crazy am you are do you know crazy

I'm not making sense 
I'm becoming impossible scenery
I'm becoming unknown to you
I know crazy

Sakurai Atsushi - Sacrifice




Band: 櫻井敦司 (Sakurai Atsushi)
Album: Sacrifice
Song: Sacrifice

作詞:櫻井敦司 作曲:Wayne Hussey
英訳: VKE

何が欲しい 何を望む 翳りゆく世界
奪えばいい 信じるなら 明日など知らず

辺りは死に満ちて 後ずさりも出来ない 突き抜けろ

引きずってゆく 黒い影 俺は薄汚れている

それでも 今は 生きて 歌え

声を殺し涙を流している「さようなら…」と、
ただ一つ この望み 叶うならば ぬくもりを…

風も無い 星も無い ゆく当てなど無い

今は生き抜いて この夜に歌え

暗闇にまぎれて 逃げてゆく 影がひとつ
捧げよう 悪魔へと 望むならば 何もかも 捧げる

愛しい者よ この胸に深く刻もう


Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi Composition: Wayne Hussey
Translation: VKE

What do you want? What do you desire? The world's darkening
Steal it if you want If I believe I don't need to know tomorrow

The area is full of death and I can't turn back Pierce through

The black shadows are seducing  I'm slightly dirty

Even still, live and sing now

Stifle your voice and shed your tears in farewell
If just this one wish were to come truth, your warmth

There's no wind, no stars, not even direction

Survive now and sing in this night

One of the shadows slipped into the darkness and is escaping
I'll offer myself to the devil, if you want it, I'll offer everything

My beloved, cut deeply into my chest

Song: 太陽の届かない場所 (Taiyou no todokanai basho / Place the sun doesn't reach)

作詞: 砂月 作曲: 匠
英訳: VKE

ここは水の棺
生命は息を潜め

深層 
冷酷
窒息 
不協心理

そう・・・
止め処ない静寂
そう・・・
砕け散るあなた

嘆きさえ祈りさえ
あぁ・・・
泡へ浮かんで

誘命の音水鏡に反射する
重なる和音と逆流の忘却と

そう・・・
沈みゆく眠り
そう・・・
回帰の果てでは

翼さえ光さえ
あぁ・・・
死に向かって

ここは水の棺
生命は息を潜め

艶やかで聡明な太陽は届かない

そう・・・
止め処ない静寂
そう・・・
砕け散るあなた

涙さえ苦痛さえ
あぁ・・・
泡へ浮かんで


優しい眠りに彩られてゆく・・・
安らかな鼓動だけそっと響いている・・・

「もう二度と忘れたくない・・・」
あなたの鼓動を
天秤に揺られている逆さまの空間で

あぁ・・・
今を変えたくて
あぁ・・・
今を変えたくて

生まれたい大地へと
あぁ・・・
あなたを想い・・・



Lyrics: Satsuki Composition: Takumi
Translation: VKE

Here is your watery grave
The breath of life hidden

The depths
The cruelty
The suffocation
The cognitive dissonance

Yes...
Endless silence
Yes...
You've collapsed

Even the lamentations, even the prayers
Ah...
Floating towards the bubbles

The alluring sounds of life reverberate on the water's surface
The accumulating chords and the oblivion against the current and

Yes...
The sleep sinking down
Yes...
The end of your return

Even the wings, even the light
Ah...
Facing death

Here is your watery grave
The breath of life hidden

The bright and wise sun won't reach you

Yes...
Endless silence
Yes...
You've collapsed

Even the tears, even the anguish
Ah...
Floating towards the bubbles

You're being colored in a gentle sleep
Only your tranquil heartbeat sounds out

"I never want to forget again..."
Your heartbeat
In the inverted place, swinging on the scales

Ah...
Wanting to change the present
Ah...
Wanting to change the present

Wanting to be born in the land
Ah...
Thinking of you...

Sick of myself
静かな月 恋 欲望
so I wish for myself
永久に不完全さを
Time is coming. Give me some courage
ずっと逃げ惑ってる forest
Time is coming. Give me some courage
ずっと塞いでいた withdraw within
I pray to find a place where to leave my pain
somewhere I can hide. Shut out!
I am looking for a place where I can cry
その手を掴みたい

赤い流星よ この身貫いてくれ
脆く溺れてく心焼き尽くして

Sick of myself
確かな愛 夢 幻想
so I wish for myself
我が身 罪深く 愛しい
I pray to find a place where to leave my pain.
somewhere I can hide. Shut out!
I am looking for a place where I can cry!
その手を汚したい

赤い流星よ 光り導いてくれ
声を空高く 叫び続けた...

I have no place to hide. Can't escape

Sick of myself
A quiet moon love lust

Eternal imperfection

Forever running to escape the forest
The time is coming. Give me some courage
Forever holding it back withdraw within
I pray to find a place to leave my pain
somewhere I can hide. Shut it out!
I am looking for a place where I can cry
I want to hold your hand

Red meteor, pierce this body!
Burn up this brittle, drowning heart

Sick of myself
Definite love Dreams Illusions
so I wish for myself
Myself, sinful and beloved
I pray to find a place to leave my pain.
somewhere I can hide. Shut it out!
I am looking for a place where I can cry!
I want to dirty your hand

Red meteor, guide the light!
I kept screaming my voice high into the sky...

I have no place to hide. Can't escape
You scream, towards my voice

Red meteor, guide the light!

I'll release my voice high into the sky
Embracing the trifling hope
I'll go towards you now...

作詞: 藍 作曲: 藍
英訳: VKE

がんがん頭が痛い
悪臭漂うブランコに
帰る場所さえわからぬまま
傷を舐めあう ぶらぶらら

この世界が終われば
きっと夢は叶うだろう
いつまでこの腐敗は続くのか?
もう嫌なんだ 反吐が出る

お前の所為で腐っていく
形の無い物が増えていく
生理的に不快だ
消えてくれ吐気が止まらない
一体何の為に産まれて何処へ向かうの
お前の所為で

じわじわ頭が腐る
悪臭漂うブランコで
生きる意味さえわからぬまま
終わりが来るまで ぶらぶらら

どれだけ傷付けたら
痛みを感じられるの?
これ以上まだ何を求めるの?
もうたくさんだ 反吐が出る

お前の所為で腐っていく
形の無い物が増えていく
生理的に不快だ
消えてくれ吐気が止まらない
一体何の為に産まれて何処へ向かうの
お前の所為で

誰が誰の為に?
馬鹿が馬鹿の為に?

がんがん頭が痛い
悪臭漂うブランコは
いつも誰かがゆらゆらと…


Lyrics: Ai Composition: Ai

Ringing ringing my head hurts
Hanging in a stinking swing
Not even knowing how to get home
We'll lick each other's wounds Swinging swinging

If this world ends
For sure my dream will come true
How long will this decay fester?
I can't take it anymore I vomit

I'm rotting 'cause of you
The shapeless things multiplying
Physiologically uncomfortable
Go away!  The nausea won't cease
Why was I born and where am I headed?
Your fault

Bit by bit my head rots
Hanging in a stinking swing
Not even knowing why I live
Until the end comes Swinging swinging

How many times can I be wounded
and [still] feel pain?
What do you want besides this?
That's enough! I vomit

I'm rotting 'cause of you
The shapeless things multiplying
Physiologically uncomfortable
Go away! The nausea won't cease
Why was I born and where am I headed?
Your fault

Who [did it] for whom?
The idiot for the idiot?

Ringing ringing my head hurts
Hanging in a stinking swing
Someone will always be swinging swinging

Deathgaze - Dearest



Band: デスゲイズ (Deathgaze)
Album: The Continuation
Song: Dearest

作詞: 藍 作曲: 藍
英訳: VKE

乾いた風に吹かれた あの時とは違う景色だね
季節は過ぎて行くのに この想いは変わらぬまま
過去に流した涙は 確かに今輝き始めて
消えてしまわない様に あの空まで届く様に

君の為に愛を唄う いつか同じ光浴びて
抱きしめたい 溶ける程皮膚を重ね
君を想い僕は歌う 憶えの無い雨に打たれ
僕が描く 世界に君がいて欲しい

瞬く星を数えて 一つ一つ月を包み込み
太陽がかき消しても 流れ落ちる君を捜す

君の為に愛を唄う この夜空に響かせたい
迷わないで 君が辿り着けるように
君を想い僕は唄う 憶えの無い雨に打たれ
目が覚めたら 側には君がいて欲しい

I wish remember me.

君の為に愛を唄う 光の中君を抱いて
きっとそこに 笑ってる君がいるから
君を想い僕は唄う 憶えの無い雨に打たれ
今 始まる この世界に生きる意味を

I wish remember me.



Lyrics: Ai Composition: Ai

Blown in the dry wind The scenery is different than it was then
Even though the seasons pass This feeling remains unchanged
Tears that were shed in the past are certainly starting to sparkle now
So that you might not fade So that they'll reach that sky

I sing my love for you Sometime to bask in that same light
I want to embrace you Piling up skin till it thaws
I sing thinking of you Pummeled by a rain without memory
I paint it- I want you to be in this world

Counting the twinkling stars One by one enveloping the moon
Even if the sun fades out I'll look for you falling down [from the sky]

I sing my love for you I want it to resound in the night sky
Don't hesitate So that you'll find your way
I sing thinking of you Pummeled by a rain without memory
When I awaken I want you to be by my side

I wish you'd remember me 

I sing my love for you Holding you in the light
For sure, you'll be there laughing
I sing thinking of you Pummeled by a rain without memory
Now it begins- the meaning of living in this world

I wish you'd remember me

Lyrics: Satoshi Composition: Girugamesh
Translation: VKE

punisher!!  Q: Why the fuck are you laughing?
punisher!!  A: I'm laughing because I sold my soul for money
punisher!!  A 360 degree skillful discussion
punisher!!  Spit in the sweet trap

breaking life A fallacious reality

warning!! Having all the false action broken by your power
Taking dirty money in your hands, circulating it, and finding it empty
nothing!! Performing all the nonfiction in reality
Desiring dirty money, manipulating and degrading

I wanna be a sincere man

breaking life A fallacious reality

warning!! We ain't tools for false action
Taking dirty money in your hands, strike it in front of you
nothing!! All the nonfiction in reality is here
If you want to hear a dirty story, gather around

Luna Sea - True Blue



Band: ルナシー (Luna Sea)
Album: Period
Song: True Blue

作詞:リュウイチ  作曲:スギゾー
英訳: VKE

壊れそうな程 狂いそうな程
切ない夜には そっと「抱きしめて」
壊れそうな程 狂いそうな程
眠れない夜には そう呟いた…

張り裂けそう孤独の中 あてもなく星を数え
満たされない想いの中 作りかけのパズルを抱いて
窓の外の虚ろな夜 きらめく街 影落ちて
時計の針 狂おしい程 静けさを 囁く

絡みつく 僕の全て モノクロームになる
絡みつく 僕の全て 終わらないこの夜

壊れそうな程 狂いそうな程
切ない夜には そっと「抱きしめて」
壊れそうな程 狂いそうな程
眠れない夜には そう呟いた…

絡みつく 僕の全て モノクロームになる
絡みつく 僕の全て 終りのないパズル
離れない 孤独な時に 答を無くしたまま…

壊れそうな程 狂いそうな程
切ない夜には そっと「抱きしめて」
壊れそうな程 狂いそうな程
眠れない夜には そう呟いた…

誰もいない部屋 キミのいない部屋
誰もいない部屋 僕が消えて行く…



Lyrics: Ryuuichi Composition: Sugizou
Translation: VKE

To the point of breaking, to the point of madness
In a painful night, softly embrace me
To the point of breaking, to the point of madness
In a sleepless night, I muttered that...

In the midst of loneliness that's going to burst, aimlessly counting stars
In the midst of unsatisfied feelings, holding a half-complete puzzle
The empty night outside the window, the shadows fall in the shining town
The clock hands going crazy, whispering silence

Wrapping all around me, becoming monochrome
Wrapping all around me, this unending night

To the point of breaking, to the point of madness
In a painful night, softly embrace me
To the point of breaking, to the point of madness
In a sleepless night, I muttered that...

Wrapping all around me, becoming monochrome
Wrapping all around me, a puzzle without end
I can't get away, when I'm lonely, having lost the answer

To the point of breaking, to the point of madness
In a painful night, softly embrace me
To the point of breaking, to the point of madness
In a sleepless night, I muttered that...

An empty room, a room without you
An empty room, I'm fading away...

MUCC - hanabi



Band: ムック (69 / MUCC)
Album: 球体
Song: hanabi (Fireworks)

作詞: 逹瑯 作曲: ミヤ
英訳: VKE

波間に揺れる夏の面影
よせてはかえす置き去りの嘘

眠りは浅く 夢は残酷
泣いた天使と永久の揺りかご
あなたがいればそれでよかった
紫色に染まった夜明け

列車に揺られ行く宛てもなく
時の流れに戸惑いながら

あの日夜空に流れて消えた君の途切れた思い
そっと頬つたう涙は過去 それに気付けなかった

儚さを知る無邪気な心
弱さはいつか優しさになる
理不尽に嘆く少女の瞳
悲しみの数だけ愛を思った

奏でるは色とりどりの未来 空に打ち上げ花火
消え行く面影を忘れないで 遥か見果てぬ光

少年は無意識の中で少女の影に安らぎを見てた
少女の瞳の奥の抱えきれない程の悲しみさえも知らずにただ恋をしてた

あの日夜空に流れて消えた 君の打ち明け話
そっと頬つたう涙にさえ 気付いてあげられずに
弾け散る色とりどりの未来 空に打ち上げ花火
消え行く面影を忘れないで 遥か見果てぬ光

夜空を染め上げて


Lyrics: Tatsurou Composition: Miya
Translation: VKE

The traces of summer swaying in the waves
Deserted lies breaking and repeating

Sleep is shallow, dreams cruel
The crying angel and the eternal cradle
If only you were here, it would be alright
The dawn dyed violet

Swayed by the train, without aim
Confused in the flow of time

That day, flowing and vanished in the night sky, your interrupted thoughts
The tears clinging softly to your cheek which I didn't notice are in the past

An innocent heart that knows transience
Weakness at some point becomes kindness
The eye of a girl who laments irrationally
The amount of sadness, thoughts on love

Strumming the variously colored futures Fireworks launched into the sky
Don't forget the vanishing traces Unfulfilled lights in the distance

The boy, unconscious, saw tranquility in the girl's shadow
Without even knowing of the unbearable sadness in the depths of the girl's eye
he just loved her

That day, flowing and vanished in the night sky, your confession
Disregarding the tears clinging softly to your cheek
The variously colored futures bursting out Fireworks launched into the sky
Don't forget the vanishing traces Unfulfilled lights in the distance

Color the sky

Marusa - 水玉模様



Band: 査~マルサ~ (Marusa)
Album: 大特集
Song: 水玉模様 (Mizutamamoyou / Polka-dots)

作詞: 査~マルサ~  作曲: 査~マルサ~
英訳: VKE

どうしてアスファルトにゆらめいてく
一年遅くきた初夏の香り
貴方に近づく為
バスに乗って切符を握り締め座って今
口惜しいけど出来る事は只々思う事ばかりで

一日を長く感じて 次の日を子供みたいに待って
変わっていく私に気付かないで
少しづつ 少しづつ距離を近付けて

街を通り抜けて振り向く貴方の足音
少し大人びた水玉模様のワンピース

強めにまとった香水も
貴方の視線を引く為に
変わっていく私に気付かないで
少しづつ 少しづつ距離を近付けて

街を通り抜けて振り向く貴方の足音
隣に重なる水玉模様のワンピース
変わっていくのね貴方もこの空も全部
風に飛ばされたストローハットと深緑の色

取り残されていたのは私の方だったのね
私も連れてって



Lyrics: Marusa Composition: Marusa
Translation: VKE

Why are you swaying on the asphalt?
The smell of early summer coming a year late
In order to get close to you
I boarded a bus, gripping my ticket, sitting now
It's painful but I'm just thinking about what I can do and no more

Feeling one day to be too long waiting for the next day like a child
Don't notice how I'm changing
Bit by bit, bit by bit the distance lessens

Crossing through the towns, the footsteps as you look back
A slightly mature polka-dot dress

Even the strong perfume you wore
In order to grab your attention
Don't notice how I'm changing
Bit by bit, bit by bit the distance lessens

Crossing through the towns, the footsteps as you look back
The polka-dot dresses piling up next door
Even you, even the sky, everything is changing
The straw hat blowing in the wind and the deep green

I was the only thing left behind, huh
Take me with you

Plastic Tree - アンドロメタモルフォーゼ



Band: プラスティック トゥリー (Plastic Tree)
Album: ネガとポジ
Song: アンドロメタモルフォーゼ (Andrometamorphose)

作詞:Plastic Tree 作曲:Plastic Tree
英訳: VKE

体温計
赤いモノ
上昇してく僕の熱

心なら
メタモルフォーゼ
欠けてく君の分

いずれ命 燃えてきます
灰になり 砂になり
それならば 最初で最後
僕らが出逢えた事

名を呼んで 名を告げて
透明じゃない僕にして
食べかけの月が僕を冷たく睨んでる
未来まで一緒にさ 行けたならよかったな
してあげたい出来ない事がたくさんあるんだよ

夢ならね 覚めないで 幾億の夜を越え
銀河にね 囲まれて 巡り会うの アンダーワールド
どんなにね 暗くても すぐに見つけだせるよ
記憶のね 糸たどり きっと そこにいくよ

臆病なる魔法使い

愛の呪文
リフレイン

胸に宿す花なら 全部腐ってて酷い色
苦しくて うれしくて 切なくて 恋しくて
こんなにね 咲いてるのに ひとつもあげれない

夢でもね 消えないで 幾億目の夜なの?
銀河にね 埋もれて はぐれてしまう アンダーワールド
月からね 吹く風で 涙もいつか乾いて
そしたらね どこまでも ずっと 歩いてけそう



Lyrics: Plastic Tree Composition: Plastic Tree
Translation: VKE

Thermometer
Red item
My rising fever

If it's my heart
Metamorphose
Your cracking piece

Sooner or later, my life will start to burn
Become ash, become sand
If that's the case, it's the beginning and the end
when we happened to meet

Call my name, tell me your name
for me, who is not transparent
The half-eaten moon is glaring coldly at me
It'd would've been great if we could've gone to the future together
There's a lot of things I wanted to do for you but couldn't

If it's a dream, don't awaken Pass over billions of nights
Surrounded by the Milky Way and meeting by chance in the underworld
No matter how dark it be, I'll find you right away
I'll follow the thread of my memory and surely get there

A cowardly wizard

A love spell
Refrain

If it's a flower in my breast, it'll all rot into a terrible color
Painful and happy and suffocating and loved
Even though it blooms like this, I can't give you even one

Don't disappear from my dream How many billions of nights?
Buried in the Milky Way, I've strayed in the underworld
Your tears will some day dry in the wind blowing from the moon
And then, we can walk to anywhere forever

作詞: 林田倫堕 作曲: Kyokutou Girl Friend
英訳: VKE

正気でしたか 狂気でしたか 環状線渋滞中
嗤うサンデー 三面記事に ナショナリストは唾を吐きかけるよ
今の僕を形成したのは 差別主義者のママ
濡れた髪が渇ききったら 別れ話に花を咲かせましょう

【残念な報告】
俺の彼女はリストカッター
俺の彼女はヒステリア
俺の彼女はリストカッター
俺の彼女はヒステリア

正気でしたか 狂気でしたか 環状線渋滞中
涙声で頸絞めるなよ おひとつどうぞ 馬鹿につけるお薬

【残念な報告】
俺の彼女はニンフォマニア
俺の彼女はヒステリア

【残念な報告】
雌豚ですか? 雌豚ですか? 雌豚ですか? 雌豚ですか?
I love you

俺の彼女はヒステリア
俺の彼女はリストカッター
俺の彼女はヒステリア


Lyrics: Hayashida Rinda Composition: Kyokutou Girl Friend
Translation: VKE

Was it sanity? Was it madness? While the trains are packed
A ridiculed Sunday On the page-three news The nationalists spit
What made me  was a discriminatory mother
When your wet hair has dried let's revel in a break-up talk

"Regrettable information"
My girlfriend's a wrist cutter
My girlfriend's hysterical
My girlfriend's a wrist cutter
My girlfriend's hysterical

Was it sanity? Was it madness? While the trains are packed
Don't strangle yourself in a teary voice Please take one - medicine to make you an idiot

"Regrettable information"
My girlfriend's a nympho
My girlfriend's hysterical

"Regrettable information"
Is she a pig? Is she a pig? Is she a pig? Is she a pig?
I love you
My girlfriend's a nympho
My girlfriend's hysterical
My girlfriend's a wrist-cutter
My girlfriend's hysterical

Song: Daybreak ~13月の色彩~ (Day break ~Jyuusangatsu no shikisai / Day break ~The 13th month's color)

作詞:miko 作曲:miko
英訳: VKE

笑う 迷彩色の フラミンゴ
海にマーブル CANDYプール 愛しいガスマスク

廻る 風見鶏 高笑い
13月は 増えては減る デジタル子やぎのディナー

歪んだ 赤い空 耳をつんざく警告
「気付いて すぐ側に 最後の足音」

Daybreak 朝焼けが終わりを告げる
Daybreak 鮮やかな結末を
Daybreak 寄り添い眺めよう
Daybreak 君と二人で

高く 一方通行のブランコ

北の流星 願い三度 飛び交う破壊の機体(とり)

歪んだ 赤い空 がなり始める惑星
「気付いて もうこれが 最後だって事」

Daybreak 朝焼けが染める地平に
Daybreak 影落ちる砂時計
Daybreak 秒読み始めても
Daybreak 君と生きよう

Daybreak 朝焼けが終わりを告げる
Daybreak 鮮やかな結末を
Daybreak 寄り添い眺めよう
Daybreak 君と二人で

New Age 目が眩む極彩色の
New Age 不確かな未来なら
New Age 秒読み迫っても
Daybreak 今を二人で



Lyrics: miko Composition: miko
Translation: VKE

Laugh A camouflaged flamingo
A marble in the sea A candy pool A beloved gas mask

Revolve  Weather vane Loud laughter
The 13th month will increase and decrease A dinner of a digital baby goat

Twisted Red sky A warning that rips your ear
"Notice, right next to you, the final footsteps"

Daybreak The sunrise marks the end
Daybreak A vivid conclusion
Daybreak Come close and let's watch
Daybreak With you

High A one-way swing

The northern shooting stars Three wishes The apocalyptic birds* flying about

Twisted Red sky The planet starting to scream
"Notice, that's we're already at the end"

Daybreak The sunrise colors the ground
Daybreak The shadow of the hourglass falls
Daybreak Even if the countdown has begun
Daybreak I'll live with you

Daybreak The sunrise marks the end
Daybreak A vivid conclusion
Daybreak Come close and let's watch
Daybreak With you

New Age A rich color blinding eyes
New Age If it's an uncertain future
New Age Even if the countdown approaches
Daybreak Now, with you



*機体(とり) The kanji mean plane, but she's given it the reading of とり, or bird.

Dir en Grey - 我、闇とて...



Band: ディル・アン・グレイ (Dir en Grey)
Album: Uroboros
Song: 我、闇とて... (Ware, yami tote... / I, even darkness...)

作詞:京 作曲:Dir en Grey
英訳: VKE

限られた時間の狭間で風に染まり
立ち止まる俺は誰?
有り触れた言葉の狭間で壊れていき
繰り返す此処はどこ?
意志を闇に染めて
息を断つことも簡単で…だけどまだほんの少し君に触れていたい
生きることを許してくれますか?
ある日差しの強い朝、目を開き涙が初めて意味に触れられた気がしたんだ
傍に君が居ると何故だか悲しい
一つになれないのは何故?
手を開き壊れそうな言葉でも、ただ一つでもいい
その胸に突き刺さる程の刃を心にくれ
代償の儚さ 熟れていき ただ闇とて…
夕暮れ がなり立てる
ある日差しの強い朝、目を開き涙が初めて意味に触れられた気がしたんだ
傍に君が居ると何故だか悲しい
一つになれないのは何故?
手を開き壊れそうな言葉でも、ただ一つでもいい
その胸に突き刺さる程の刃を胸に
忘れてしまえば人は変われるもの?
忘れても、変われても、君でもないことも
正しい価値さえ 冷酷に見えて
せめて今を声に変えて
明日の条件
優しすぎる悲鳴、愛は形を変え
苦しさも忘れ自分も忘れて
だけど今は 噛み締めて流れる証と…
正しい価値さえ 冷酷に見えて
せめて今を声に変えて
明日の条件

生きるという名の証を…


Lyrics: Kyou Composition: Dir en Grey
Translation: VKE

At the threshold of limited time, dyed by the wind
and standing still, who am I?
At the threshold of trite words, breaking down
and repeating, where is this?
Color your will in the darkness
It's easy to stop one's breath...but, I still want to touch you just a little more
Can you forgive me for living?
On one particularly bright morning, opening my eyes, I felt that my tears had for the first time touched upon the [true] meaning
When you're by my side, for some reason I'm sad
Why can't we become one?
Open your hands and just one word, one meaningless phrase would be enough
Give my heart a blade sharp enough to penetrate yours
The transience of the compensation is reaching its breaking point, just darkness
Twilight draws near
On one particularly bright morning, opening my eyes, I felt that my tears had for the first time touched upon the [true] meaning
When you're by my side, for some reason I'm sad
Why can't we become one?
Open your hands and just one word, one meaningless phrase would be enough
Put a blade sharp enough to penetrate your breast through mine
Can people change if they can forget?
Even if they forget, even if they change, even if it's not you
Look upon even a just merit with cruelty
At least change the current moment in your voice
A condition for tomorrow
A scream that's too soft, love changes our shape
Forget the pain as well, forget yourself as well
But now, reflect upon it with the evidence that flows forth...
Look upon even a just merit with cruelty
At least change the current moment in your voice
A condition for tomorrow

Evidence called living...

D'espairsRay - Abyss



Band: ディスパーズレイ  (D'espairsRay)
Album: Monsters
Song: Abyss

作詞:Hizumi 作曲:Tsukasa
英訳: VKE

そっと夢見る深い海で
ずっと止まない声に抱かれ
泡の様に浮かぶ想い
君を映し ばらばらに散らばった

映りゆく時に君を浮かべ
僕は独りきり深く碧い海に抱かれ夢を見る

きっと...戻れぬ恋と知って
この心は凍えたまま
声に出せば途切れそうな
願い込めて...君を待つ夜明け

抱きしめたいのに 触れたいのに
僕の届かない場所で君は泣いているの?
それでも明日は君の為に
そっと差し伸べる...希望と言う名の光を見せるだろう

溢れる涙は風が掻き消して
悲しみまでも攫う...

素晴らしき世界へ...君のもとへ...
そっと安らぎに満ちた 幸せが降るように
願いよ羽ばたけ海を越えて
僕はいつまでも深く碧い海に抱かれ夢を見る



Lyrics: Hizumi Composition: Tsukasa
Translation: VKE

Softly dreaming in a deep sea
Forever embraced by the ceaseless voice
Emotions that float like bubbles
Reflecting you and dispersing away

Suspending you when they start to reflect
Embraced by the deep blue sea, I dream by myself

Surely...Knowing it to be a love that won't return
As this heart remains frozen
It escaped in my voice with an interrupted wish...
A dawn that awaits you

Even though I want to hold you, even though I want to touch you
Are you crying in a place I can't reach?
Even still, tomorrow, for you
I'll gently reach out...and I hope I'll show you a light called hope

The overflowing tears erased by the wind
which carry off even the sadness...

To a wonderful world...To your side...
As if the happiness filled with tranquility were softly raining down
My wish: flap thine wings and traverse the sea!
I'll forever be dreaming, embraced by the deep blue sea
