Your heart doesn’t realize it yet, but I’ll make it notice It’s too late to stop, I won’t stop, I’m your silhouette Our meeting itself was the power of fate, and from there the power of diplomacy I want to be your shadow – two in one
（Be Quiet）
好きなものを 寄せてみては 駄目?
(Be quiet)
suki na mono o yosete mite wa dame?
(Be quiet) Is it wrong to try bringing what you like closer?
one two three 恋の呪縛をかけて
one two three 私だけ見て Give me your truth heart
one two three koi no jubaku o kakete
one two three watashi dake mite give me your truth heart
One two three, casting a binding pact of love One two three, only look at me and give me your true heart

anata no kage ni naritai futari hitotsu
You still don’t realize it? From here on you’ll be looking so closely at me Aren’t you a little late? Hurry and come here, I’m your silhouette Nothing changes from our first meeting, and I despise you just a little I want to be your shadow – two in one
恋は駄目にする 好意を押し付けて
あなたしか見たくない 見えない この想いは盲目
koi wa dame ni suru koui o oshi tsukete
anata shika mitakunai mienai kono omoi wa moumoku
Love makes you hopeless, pushing affection on others I don’t want to see anyone but you, I can’t see anyone else – these feelings are blind
mada kidzukanai sono kokoro kidzukasete ageru kara
mou tomarenai tomaranai atashi shiruetto
deai koso unmei no chikara soko kara wa kakehiki no chikara
ushiro ja iya yoko ni itai
Your heart doesn’t realize it yet, but I’ll make it notice It’s too late to stop, I won’t stop, I’m your silhouette Our meeting itself was the power of fate, and from there, the power of diplomacy I don’t want to be behind you, I want to be next to you
mou matenai kono kokoro ubatte mogi totte
osoi janai hayaku kite atashi shiruetto
deai kara nani mo kawaranai anata ga nikui itoshii
futari de hitotsu ni naru
My heart can’t wait any longer – steal it and wrest it away from me Aren’t you a little late? Hurry and come here, I’m your silhouette Nothing changes from our first meeting, and though I despise you, you’re my precious We will become two in one
So one two three for you, Give me your truth heart
Note: Although it was translated as “Attaboy” it is supposed to be gender neutral. That said, considering the intended audience, it’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.

Hey everyone, in this anxiety filled modern day In the middle of an era where you can’t find peace and quiet Do you ever find that you’re unable to even love yourself? “I want someone to acknowledge me” “Nothing ever goes right, wah wah” You’d leave your problems to god, but where should you go to find such a god?

Coming close to finishing up Amen’s Unpublished Translations (I think). This one was from a translation stream I did a while back. Check out the music video on niconico by clicking here as well.
This song was a lot more relatable when I first translated it as a NEET putting off looking for a job. The lyrics don’t quite hit the same anymore, but I still love PinocchioP and Nanawo Akari in general.

Isn’t this a bit rough for my first job? Why am I already so good with makeup? I just want to take my time, but isn’t everyone walking a bit fast? Learning how the world works, sounds like a pain. Isn’t this too hard for a beginner? Having no curfew is the best, but isn’t the rent a little high?
