Requested by Kappashiro, it’s one of the English FELT songs that they have every album. I think I might enjoy these Maurits”禅“Cornelis arranges more than the NAGI☆’s, honestly.

To open up secret paths,
Escaping the suffering
From those who keep following.

We have a choice in this life.
Mistakes will be made so
It’s up to each one to decide.

Time keeps ticking by.
Don’t realize something is wrong with me.
If I keep it inside,
I have no way to know if it’s all right.

But when anger’s bottled up inside,
Can I resist against unspoken words or try to hide?
Temptation rages into reality.
Even if I find the words to cry,
They disappear and leave behind the traces of my lies.
It’s spilling over the side.

Up in the sky,
Nostalgic emotions fill my eyes.
I know that though I’ve lost my own way,
It’s still not too late.

The many times I’ve tried in vain,
For one to confide in
Before it was locked away.

The wrong I’ve done you remains.
But do I accept that there’s no way to take it back?

One chance to live life,
Can I make sense of it before I die?
“Forgive and to forget.”
Take it all for granted and what do we get?

Scaling up the walls of so-called life…
“Impossible” had been a word I chose to recognize.
But even so, I felt so ostracized.
Actions over words, the ones unheard.
Repeatedly, I never knew what was I fighting for.
The end was left in the dark.

Up in the sky,
Nostalgic emotions fill my eyes.
I know that though I’ve lost my own way,
It’s still not too late.

Time keeps ticking by.
Don’t realize something is wrong with me.
If I keep it inside,
I have no way to know if it’s all right.

But when anger’s bottled up inside,
Can I resist against unspoken words or try to hide?
Temptation rages into reality.
Even if I find the words to cry,
They disappear and leave behind the traces of my lies.
It’s spilling over the side.

Scaling up the walls of so-called life…
“Impossible” had been a word I chose to recognize.
But even so, I felt so ostracized.
Actions over words, the ones unheard.
Repeatedly, I never knew what was I fighting for.
The end was left in the dark.

Up in the sky,
Nostalgic emotions fill my eyes.
I know that though I’ve lost my own way,
I still can be saved.

Requested by pretty much everyone. Warning, by the time I went to proofread this translation for errors, my brain had became a brat and stopped following orders and thinking properly, probably in a protest for sleep.
I lament that I can not make the text white, but I made an attempt at silver.

白い息が空へ消えていく はじまる夜を前に
冷たい風がキラリと 揺らす星
いつの日からだったんだろう 描いた夢の中で
空になった 心浮かぶ箱たち

shiroi iki ga sora e kiete iku hajimaru yoru o mae ni
tsumetai kaze ga kirari to yurasu hoshi
itsu no hi kara datta n darou egaita yume no naka de
kara ni natta kokoro ukabu hakotachi

My white breath fades into the sky, before the beginning night
the freezing wind with a gleam causes the stars to shiver
I wonder how long it’s been, that in the dreams I imagined
the packages crossing my mind became empty

長い眠りを迎える前に
瞬く星の海 走るの

nagai nemuri o mukaeru mae ni
matataku hoshi no umi hashiru no

Before I welcome hibernation
I’m going to run towards the sea of twinkling stars

広がる銀の世界 薄れていく足跡
降りつづいて 明日が少し 変わるよう
厚い雲の切れ間に 輝く月の明かり
かじかんでいた指先を 伸ばした
僕が届くように

hirogaru gin no sekai usurete yuku ashiato
furi tsudzuite asu ga sukoshi kawaru you
usui kumo no kirema ni kagayku tsuki no akari
kajikandeita yubisaki o nobashita
boku ga todoku you ni

The silver world expands, the footprints fade away
Keep on snowing down, and I feel like tomorrow might change a bit
The moonlight sparkles in the rifts between the thick clouds
I had stretched out my frostbitten fingertips towards them
hoping to reach

季節めぐる度に生まれる 新しい僕がいる
乾いた風が運んだ 遠い日々
膨らんではしぼんでいった 悩みの種をひとつ
覗き込むと それはただ愛しい

kisetsu meguru tabi ni umareru atarashii boku ga iru
kawaita kaze ga hakonda tooi hibi
fukurande wa shibondeittta nayami no tane o hitotsu
nozoki komu to sore wa tada itoshii

Each time the seasons cycle, a new me is born
during the far days the parched wind had carried
When I peek into a single seed of worry
that shriveled up upon growing, it’s simply just lovely

寒い夜から目覚める瞬間に
寄り添える温もり 残した

samui yoru kara mezameru toki ni
yori soeru nukumori nokoshita

When waking up from cool, chilly nights
I left behind a warmth that I could snuggle up to

潤う瞳が写した 忘れたい記憶を
語りかけて 聞こえぬようにこっそりと
見渡す限り広がる 星の海が溶かした
次に出逢う頃にはもう 新しい
君がそこにはいる

uruou hitomi ga utsushita wasuretai kioku o
katari kakete kikoenu you ni kossori to
mi watasu kagiri hirogaru hoshi no umi ga tokashita
tsugi ni de au koro ni wa mou atarashii
kimi ga soko ni wa iru

When I speak about the memories I want to forget
that my watery eyes project, I do it discreetly so nobody can hear
When the sea of stars that stretches as far as the eye can see
has melted the next time we meet, there will already be
a new you there

すれ違った人影 いつかの冬 重ねた
いつまでも いつまでも 見つめてた
厚い雲の切れ間に 輝く月の明かり
かじかんでいた指先を 伸ばした
僕が届くように

sure chigatta hitokage itsu ka no fuyu kasaneta
itsu made mo itsu made mo mitsumeteta
atsui kumo no kirema ni kagayaku tsuki no akari
kajikandeita yubisaki o nobashita
boku ga todoku you ni

The shadows of people that passed each other added to someday’s winter
I’ve always, and always witnessed it
The moonlight sparkles in the rifts between the thick clouds
I had stretched out my frostbitten fingertips towards them
hoping to reach

Regret

Requested by Mysterious Duck, I really need to catch up on all these requests, I’m starting to fall behind.
Not to be confused with Vivienne from FELT and Hatsunetsumiko’s.

★ Title: Regret

後ずさりしてる　鎖ひきずった
独りの罪人　何かを欲しがり　何かに怯えて
どこか諦めて　密かに楽しい　日々を過ごした

atozusari shiteru kusari hiki zutta
hitori no tsumibito nani ka o hoshigari nani ka ni obiete
doko ka akiramete hisoka ni tanoshii hibi o sugoshita

Retreating away, I dragged my chains with me
This lone sinner desired something, was afraid of something,
gave up somewhere, and secretly passed by the fun days

月はまだ　薄く昇った　冷たい静かな朝は
空気が　優しく身体覚ますよ　冷酷に

tsuki wa mada usuku nobotta tsumetai shizuka na asa wa
kuuki ga yasashiku karada samasu yo reikoku ni

On quiet, freezing mornings when the moon is still faintly in the sky,
the atmosphere gently awakens my body, coldly

君がいなくなった　忘れられない夜
指折り数えてる　通じ合った証拠
認め合った愛を　すれ違った理由
狂いそうなほどに　認めたくなかった

kimi ga inaku natta wasurerarenai yoru
yubi ori kazoeteru tsuji atta shouko
mitome atta ai o sure chigatta riyuu
kuruisou na hodo ni mitometakunakatta

That unfortettable night you departed
counting on my fingers I waited for proof I got through to you
To the point of near going mad I didn’t want to acknowledge
the reason for crossing our requitted love

後ずさりしてる　鎖ひきずった
独りの罪人　何かを欲しがり　何かに怯えて
どこか諦めて　密かに楽しい　日々を過ごした

atozusari shiteru kusari hiki zutta
hitori no tsumibito nani ka o hoshigari nani ka ni obiete
doko ka akiramete hisoka ni tanoshii hibi o sugoshita

Retreating away, I dragged my chains with me
This lone sinner desired something, was afraid of something,
gave up somewhere, and secretly passed by the fun days

月明かり　眩しすぎるよ　暗闇好んだ二人
独りが　戻った事実.リアルを　突きつける

tsuki akari mabushi sugiru yo kurayami kononda futari
hitori ga modotta jijitsu riaru o tsuki tsukeru

The moonlight is much too bright, us two were fond of the darkness
The fact that only one of us came back thrusts forth reality

怖くなかったのに　強がり も無かった
君さえいるだけで　強さをもらってた
情けなくもないさ　暗闇を独りで
楽しめる人など　滅多にいない

kowakunakatta noni tsuyogari mo nakatta
kimi sae iru dake de tsuyosa o moratteta
nasakenaku mo nai sa kurayami o hitori de
tanoshimeru hito nado metta ni inai

Despite not being afraid, I couldn’t show courage either
Just by being with you, I had gained strength
But see, it’s not pitiful either, there are hardly any people
able to enjoy being alone in the darkness

削れ続けてる　鎖と心に
後悔満たした　水で洗いたい　美しくなれる
何度も何度も　君を思い出す　美しくなる

kezure tsudzuketeru kusari to kokoro ni
koukai mitashita mizu de araitai utsukushiku nareru
nando mo nando mo kimi o omoi dasu utsukushiku naru

I want to wash with the water filled with regret
in my diminishing heart and chain, I can become beautiful
Over and over again, I remember you, I will become beautiful

Perhaps my favourite song from this EastNewSound album.
Personally, I think Raiko has one of the best designs of all the Touhou.

一人　星のない空を眺め
今は　この気持ち冷めないよに
君が　初めて奏でた音に
そっと心動き出す

hitori hoshi no sora o nagame
ima wa kono kimochi samenai yo ni
kimi ga hajimete kanadeta oto ni
sotto kokoro ugoki dasu

Gazing at the starless sky alone
it doesn’t feel like my feelings will subside now
Gently my heart gets moving
to your first played sound

始まりの Beat, My Beat…　胸の奥で
存在の証明を
私の Beat, My Beat…　響かせたい
今すぐに　Beat, My Beat, My Beat

hajimari no Beat, My Beat… mune no oku de
sonzai no shoumei o
watashi no Beat, My Beat… hibikasetai
ima sugu ni Beat, My Beat, My Beat

The primordial Beat, My Beat… in my heart
My proof of presence
My very own Beat, My Beat… I want to make it ring
Right away Beat, My Beat, My Beat

何時か　今見ている風景も
変わる　私の知らないうちに
ギュッと　心が苦しくなるよ
だけと　立ち止まれなくて

itsu ka ima miteiru fuukei mo
kawaru watashi no shiranai uchi ni
kyutto kokoro ga kurushiku naru yo
dakedo tachi tomarenakute

Someday, the sights I see right now
will change while I’m unaware
Suddenly, I feel a sharp pain in my heart
However, I just can’t stop here

始まりの Beat, My Beat…　胸の奥で
存在の証明を
私の Beat, My Beat…　響かせたい
今すぐに　Beat, My Beat, My Beat

hajimari no Beat, My Beat… mune no oku de
sonzai no shoumei o
watashi no Beat, My Beat… hibikasetai
ima sugu ni Beat, My Beat, My Beat

The primordial Beat, My Beat… in my heart
My proof of presence
My very own Beat, My Beat… I want to make it ring
Right away Beat, My Beat, My Beat

Beat, My Beat…　重なり合う
私達の存在
未来の Beat, My Beat…　もっと遠く
始まりの Beat, My Beat, My Beat

Beat, My Beat… kasanari au
watashitachi no sonzai
mirai no Beat, My Beat… motto tooku
hajimari no Beat, My Beat, My Beat

Beat, My Beat… reverberates
Our presence
A future Beat, My Beat… even further
The primordial Beat, My Beat, My Beat
