僕らが望む未来へ | To the Future we Desire

Requested by Alv. I never expected such a thing as Love Live metal to exist.
As the song doesn’t seem to exist publicly anywhere, I’m translating this all deaf and thus may miss some small nuances.

想いを描き胸に抱えてる毎日 知らず知らずに溢れては流れる
今日はすぐ帰ろう あすも退屈な日常かな
満たされたいと思うのはみんな同じ それでも心に素直になれずに
話すこともできず 一人で可能性感じ始めてた

omoi o egaki mune ni kakaeteru mainichi shirazu shirazu ni afurete wa nagareru
kyou wa sugu kaerou asu mo taikutsu na nichijou kana
mitasaretai to omou no wa minna onaji sore demo kokoro ni sunao ni narezu ni
hanasu koto mo dekizu hitori de kanousei kanji hajimeta

The days spent drawing our hopes that we hold in our hearts unwittingly overflow and run away
Let’s go home right away today; I wonder if tomorrow will be another boring day
Everyone wants to be fulfilled, but unable to be true to my heart,
and unable to speak up, I began to feel possibility by myself

ぼくらはその先に
願いよ届けと 待ちわびては Ah(祈る)
ただひとつの奇跡を 叶えるよこの手で

bokura wa sono saki ni
negai yo todoke to machi wabite wa Ah (inori)
tada hitotsu no kiseki o kanaeru yo kono te de

Afterwards, we grow impatient
waiting for our wishes to reach, ah (we pray)
With our own hands, we’ll make this one miracle come true

掴みにゆこう ここではじめようOn my stage
新しい夢つかまえたい
追いかける理想妄想構想全部引き連れて
どこまでもゆこう(諦めずにね)
感じてる情熱 ありのままで
I was waiting to the shine.

tsukami ni yukou koko de hajimeyou On my stage
atarashii yume tsukamaetai
oi kakeru risou mousou kousou zenbu hiki tsurete
doko made mo yukou (akiramezu ni ne)
kanjiteru jounetsu ari no mama de
I was waiting to the shine.

Let’s go and grab it, let’s begin here on my stage
I want to catch new dreams
Taking all the ideals, delusions, and ideas I chase with me,
let’s go as far as we can (without giving up)
Leaving the passion I feel as it is
I was waiting to the shine.

Now 今のなかで 聞こえてくる青春apocalypsis
明日へとススメ 最高のSTART:DASHで

Now ima no naka de kikoete kuru seishun apocalypsis
asu e to susume saikou no START:DASH de

Now, during this moment, I hear the youth apocalypsis
Advance on towards tomorrow, with the best START:DASH

思い付きで空回りでもすぐ動いて そのせいできっと傷ついたりするんだ
立ち直るときの君のその笑顔大好きだよ
泣いても笑ってもこの瞬間は最後 後悔ばかりが心を打つけど
大胆に行こう そっと背中を押してくれる仲間がいる

omoitsuki de karamawari demo sugu ugoite sono sei de kitto kizutsuitari suru n da
tachi naoru toki no kimi no sono egao daisuki da yo
naitemo warattemo kono shunkan wa saigo koukai bakari ga kokoro o utsu kedo
daitan ni yukou sotto senaka o oshite kureru nakama ga iru

By moving right away with your ideas, even if you go nowhere, you’ll certainly get hurt
I love your smile when you stand back up
Whether you like it or not, this moment is the last, though nothing but regrets pound our hearts
Let’s go boldly, we have each other to gently push each other forward

それでもぼくたちは
休むこともなく 繰り返して Ah (叫ぶ)
まだ届かない未来を 探し続け彷徨う

sore demo bokutachi wa
yasumu koto naku kuri kaeshite Ah (sakebu)
mada todokanai mirai o sagashi tsudzuke samayou

But even so, without any breaks
repeatedly, we, ah, (shout)
We continue to wander in search of a future we still can’t reach

壊してゆこう ここからはじまるWonder zone
気付いてるはず あともう少し
躊躇わずゆこう 願う場所はすぐにある
聞こえてるはず(誓いの日から)
信じてる友情 あの日のまま…
I was waiting in the end.(Why…)

kowashite yukou koko kara hajimaru Wonder zone
kidzuiteru hazu ato mou sukoshi
tamerawazu yukou negau basho wa sugu ni aru
kikoeteru hazu (chikai no hi kara)
shinjiteru yuujou ano hi no mama…
I was waiting in the end.(Why…)

Let’s break it all, here begins the wonder zone
You should realize it, just a bit longer
Let’s go without hesitating, the place we wished for is so close
You should hear it (since the day we promised)
Our friendship we believe in is just as it was that day…
I was waiting in the end.(Why…)

(Summer Wing)
I dive to loveless world not carrying anything
Be the first to start the party that doesn’t end
With a sense of feeling that is not transmitted

I was waiting to the shine.
I was waiting in the end.

掴みにゆこう ここで はじめよう On my stage
新しい夢つかまえたい
追いかける理想妄想構想全部引き連れて
どこまでもゆこう(諦めずにね)
感じてる情熱 ありのままで
I was waiting to the shine.

tsukami ni yukou koko de hajimeyou On my stage
atarashii yume tsukamaetai
oi kakeru risou mousou kousou zenbu hiki tsurete
doko made mo yukou (akiramezu ni ne)
kanjiteru jounetsu ari no mama de
I was waiting to the shine.

Let’s go and grab it, let’s begin here on my stage
I want to catch new dreams
Taking all the ideals, delusions, and ideas I chase with me,
let’s go as far as we can (without giving up)
Leaving the passion I feel as it is
I was waiting to the shine.

裏の裏 | Reverse of the Reverse 【Kyoukai no Rinne Opening 2】

Requested by HAWK – SUBS. For now, this is only the short version. Full comes out in 10 days.
As for the ending song, you can find the original lyrics here.

For those who don’t follow my twitter, I tried my hand at subbing Kyoukai no Rinne episode 16. Go check it out if you watch the show!

★ Publisher: Warner Music Japan
☆ Arrangement and performance: Passepied
★ Lyrics: Natsuki Ogoda
☆ Composer: Haneda Narita


開かずのドア ひらけゴマで
ちょいと腕試し
今日は なんだか
いけないことしたいのよ

akazu no doa hirake goma de
choito udedameshi
kyou wa nandaka
ikenai koto shitai no yo

I want to try saying “open sesame”
to open a locked door
Today, for some reason,
I want to try things I shouldn’t do

誘い口上 並べて登場で
さあ始めようか
秘密は ひとりで
内緒は ふたりで
指切りの合図で

sasoi koujou narabete toujou de
saa hajimeyou ka
himitsu wa hitori de
naisho wa futari de
yubikiri no aizu de

With an intro speech, everyone line up on stage
Come now, shall we begin?
Secrets are for one person
Privacy is for two people
marked by a pinky promise

キミとボクがリンクする
境界線なら綱渡り
踊れや歌えや今夜
あの世も この世もない

kimi to boku ga rinku suru
kyoukaisen nara tsunawatari
odore ya utae ya konya
ano yo mo kono yo mo nai

As for the borderline we’re linking
you and I, we’re tightrope walking
Dance and sing, tonight there’s no difference
between this world and the next

右か左か
良いか悪いか
くるくるくる変わる
きっと答えは ウラのウラ
のウラ

migi ka hidari ka
ii ka warui ka
kuru kuru kuru kawaru
kitto kotae wa ura no ura
no ura

Right or left
Good or bad
It’ll go round and round and change
For sure, the answer is the reverse of the reverse
of the reverse

ジョジョ その血の記憶〜end of THE WORLD〜 | jojo sono chi no kioku~end of THE WORLD~ | JoJo: The Memory of Their Blood ~ end of THE WORLD 【JoJo’s Bizzare Adventure Stardust Crusaders Full Opening 2】

I was a bit unsatisfied with the JoJo wiki translation, so I made my own.
A lot of the lyrics take inspiration from the opening cinematic (or perhaps the other way around). It’d be good to watch that.

Note: All I’m going to say is that I don’t think Earth is “the world” they mean in the title.

深海へ眠った物語が
灼熱の砂を波立てて
宿命をまた呼び覚ます

shinkai e nemutta monogatari ga
shakunetsu no suna o nami tatete
shukumei o mata yobi samasu

The legend that slept in ocean’s depths
disturbs the scorching sand
once again calling awake their destiny

終着の地を焦がす 寡黙な炎
おびき寄せられた 神々の化身
恐れを知らぬ 剣が貫く

shuuchaku no chi o kogasu kamoku na honoo
obiki yoserareta kamigami no keshin
osore o shiranu ken ga tsuranuku

His wordless flames scorch the lands of their final destination
Roped in by the incarnations of the Gods
his sword, knowing not fear, pierces on through

目指す場所とは まだ見ぬ運命
近づいて来る 決戦のとき
打つべきピリオドは スタープラチナム

mezasu basho to wa mada minu sadame
chikadzuite kuru kessen no toki
utsu beki piriodo wa staa purachinamu

The place they’re aiming for is a yet unknown fate
The moment of the final battle comes closer and closer
and the period to put an end to it: Star Platinum

始まってしまった物語に 奪われたままの時に
今 終わりを告げるため 歩き続ける クルセイダース
空白のラストページに その拳を叩き込め
end of THE WORLD その血の記憶

hajimatte shimatta monogatari ni ubawareta mama no toki ni
ima owari o tsugeru tame aruki tsudzukeru kuruseidaasu
kuuhaku no rasuto peeji ni sono kobushi o tataki kome
end of THE WORLD sono chi no kioku

During a time stolen by a story that never should have began
to put the final nail into the coffin, they continue to walk, the crusaders
Take the blank last page and drive your fists into it
end of THE WORLD; The memory of their blood

オラオラオラオラ オラオラオラオラ
オラオラオラオラ オラオラオラオラ

OraOraOraOra OraOraOraOra
OraOraOraOra OraOraOraOra

雨の様なエメラルド 砂漠に降れば
愚者名乗る勇者 見せる蜃気楼
闇の気配追う 波紋の棘

ame no you na emerarudo sabaku ni fureba
gusha na noru yuusha miseru shinkirou
yami no kehai ou hamon no ibara

If the rain-like emeralds fall in the desert
the hero by the name of The Fool will show his mirage
The thorns of his ripple pursue the presence of darkness

復活のため 選ばぬ手段
無垢な生き血を 求め彷徨う
歴史に打つ楔 スタープラチナム

fukkatsu no tame erabanu shudan
muku na ikichi o motome samayou
rekishi ni utsu kusabi sutaa purachinamu

For the sake of rejuvenation, he’ll do anything
Seeking innocent vital blood, he roams
and the wedge to drive into history? Star Platinum

始まってしまった物語に 流して来た悲しみに
今 終わりを告げるため 命を懸けた クルセイダース
宿命のラストページに その怒りを叩きこめ

hajimatte shimatta monogatari nagashite kita kanashimi ni

shukumei no rasuto peeji ni sono ikari o tataki kome

Washed down a story that never should have began, in the grief that came
to put the final nail into the coffin, they risked their life, the crusaders
Take the last page of fate and drive your rage into it

光と闇のDestiny
めぐる歴史は Bloody
受け継がれる 不滅のプライド

hikari to yami no Destiny
meguru rekishi wa Bloody
uke tsugareru fumetsu no puraido

Light and darkness’ Destiny
The revolving history is Bloody
Passed down is their immortal pride

トコハナ | tokohana | Forever Flower 【Black Bullet Full Ending 1】

Requested by my friend Pickle, I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, but I just love me some Yanagi Nagi. Haven’t seen this anime myself though. The title’s unclear since it’s in katakana, but I interpreted it to be what would be 「常花」 in kanji.

★ Title: トコハナ
☆ Album: トコハナ
★ Publisher: NBCUniversal Entertainment
☆ Vocals and lyrics: Yanagi Nagi (やなぎなぎ)
★ Arrangement: Shinya Saito (齋藤 真也)

初めはいつだって
期待を止められない
けれどやがて諦めを覚える

hajime wa itsudatte
kitai o yamerarenai
keredo yagate akirame o oboeru

The beginning was always the same
unable to stop with these expectations
however before long I learned to give up        –

今を守る盾を薬莢に詰め込んで
円く壁を切り取った
のぞけば 終わりが見返してた

ima o mamoru tate o yakkyou ni tsume konde
maruku kabe o kiri totta
nozokeba owari ga mi kaeshiteta

Loaded in my bullet cartridges are means to protect the present
we put a round holes in the wall
If you were to peek through, the end would have stared back

硝煙弾雨に飛び込む君の
愛情には 表情のない仮面が貼りつく
報いることだけが君を動かすのなら
僕はどうしてここにいる

shoudendanu ni tobi komu kimi no
aijou ni wa hyoujou no nai kamen ga haritsuku
mukuiru koto dake ga kimi ugokasu no nara
boku wa doushite koko ni iru

In that love of yours, when you leap into the heat of battle
a mask with no expressions clings to you
If the only thing that will make you move is revenge
then why am I even here?

最後は唐突に
一瞬で奪われる
誰を責めても戻りはしないのに

saigo wa toutotsu ni
isshun de ubawareru
dare o semetemo modori wa shinai noni

The end is suddenly
within a single moment stolen away
but no matter who I blame, there’s no turning back

連鎖は終わらずに それどころか増してく
自分自身を追い込む武装に気づかない
ピエロの様だ

rensa wa owarazu ni soredokoroka mashite ku
jibun jishin o oi komu busou ni kidzukanai
piero no you da

Without the chains ending, on the contrary, with them increasing
I wasn’t aware of the weapons cornering myself
just like a pierrot

砕けた心を纏った君の
感情から微かな声 引き摺り出したい
本当は泣きたくて堪らないって言うなら
ただ黙って抱きしめる

kudaketa kokoro o matotta kimi no
kanjou kara kasuka na koe hiki suri dashitai
hontou wa nakitakute tamaranai tte iu nara
tada damatte daki shimeru

You wear a heart that’s been smashed to bits
I want to drag out the faint voice from your emotions
If you say that the truth is that you can’t help but want to cry
then just be silent, I’ll hold you close

この世で最高に綺麗なものはなんだか知ってる?
泥の中にいても決して汚れない花だって
なぜだか僕は同じ名前背負って生まれて
ここに居るんだ

kono yo de saikou ni kirei na mono wa nanda ka shitteru?
doro no naka ni itemo keshite kegarenai hana da tte
nazedaka boku wa onaji namae seotte umarete
koko ni iru n da

Do you know what the prettiest thing in the whole world is?
It’s a flower that never gets tainted, even when in mud and dirt
I don’t know why, but I was born bearing its same name
and now I’m here

激しい黒に包まれた君の哀情でも心傷でも
全部とりこんで
それすら僕の糧にしてみせるさ
like a lotus
だからずっとそばにいて

hageshii kuro ni tsutsumareta kimi no aijou demo shinshou demo
zenbu tori konde
sore sura boku no kate ni shite miseru sa
like a lotus
dakara zutto soba ni ite

Though you’ve been wrapped up in intense black, whether it’s your grief or heartache
I’ll take it all in
I’ll show you that even just that will nourish me
like a lotus
so please, stay with me forever

全部とりこんで
淀みない白の花で包みこむよ
like a lotus
だからずっと笑ってて

zenbu tori konde
yodominai shiro no hana de tsutsumi komu yo
like a lotus
dakara zutto warattete

I’ll take it all in
and wrap up you up with flawless white flowers
like a lotus
so please, keep laughing forever
