Embers

Looks like I’m somewhat back on schedule, this song turned out to be surprisingly easy and straightfoward. It’s your standard feel-good, bright future, I’ll do my best kind of song.

揺らめく陽炎に 溶けるあの日の記憶
忘れたはずなのさ 歩む旅路の中で

yurameku kagerou ni tokeru ano hi no kioku
wasureta hazu nano sa ayumu tabiji no naka de

Memories of that day are melt into a wavy haze
I thought I forgot them on the journey I walk

また会える気がしているよ
その時はまた同じように 笑顔で会おうよ

mata aeru ki ga shiteiru yo
sono toki wa mata onaji you ni egao de aou yo

I’m getting the feeling that we can meet again
When that time comes let’s meet with a smile like before

信じてくれてた 君の声が 今でも 聴こえるよ
後ろ振り向かないで 明日を探しているよ
心に残ってる そう小さくて 力強い炎
僕を導いてくれる そばにいる 力になる

shinjite kureteta kimi no koe ga ima demo kikoeru yo
ushiro furi mukanai de ashita o sagashiteiru yo
kokoro ni nokotteru sou chiisakute chikara dzuyoi honoo
boku o michibiite kureru soba ni iru chikara ni naru

You had believed in me, even now I can hear your voice
Without turning back, I’ll keep searching for tomorrow
There are small, yet powerful flames remaining in my heart
leading me, always with me, helping me out

揺らめく陽炎に 滲むあの日の光
見えてたはずなのさ 沈む夕陽の中で

yurameku kagerou ni nijimu ano hi no hikari
mieteta hazu nano sa shizumu yuuhi no naka de

Light from that day bleeds out into a wavy haze
I expected to have been able to see if in the sinking sunset

巡り巡る 世界の中で
喜びも 哀しみさえも 感じていたいよ

meguri meguru sekai no naka de
yorokobi mo kanashimi sae mo kanjiteitai yo

Within this revolving world
I want to feel it all, joy and even pain too

次の舞台へと 向かう度に 心が痛くなる
後ろ振り向かないで 明日を信じているよ
この手に残ってる そう小さくて 力強い炎
僕を照らしてくれる そばにいる 力になる

tsugi no suteeji e to mukau tabi ni kokoro ga itaku naru
ushiro furi mukanai de ashita o shinjiteiru yo
kono te ni nokotteru sou chiisakute chikara dzuyoi honoo
boku o terashite kureru soba ni iru chikara ni naru

Each time we go towards the next stage, my heart begins to ache
Without turning back, I’ll keep believing in tomorrow
There are small, yet powerful flames remaining in my hands
shining upon me, by my side, helping me out

“さよなら” ”またね”繰り返して僕らどこに行く
答えなんてないままで 丁度いいのさ

“sayonara” “mata ne” kuri kaeshite bokura doko ni yuku
kotae nante nai mama de choudo ii no sa

Repeating “Good bye,” “See you later,” where do we go from there?
Not having any kind of answer is just right for me

信じてくれてた 君の声が 今でも 聴こえるよ
後ろ振り向かないで 明日を探しているよ
心に残ってる そう小さくて 力強い炎
僕を導いてくれる そばにいる 力になる

shinjite kureteta kimi no koe ga ima demo kikoeru yo
ushiro furi mukanai de ashita o sagashiteiru yo
kokoro ni nokotteru sou chiisakute chikara dzuyoi honoo
boku o michibiite kureru soba ni iru chikara ni naru

You had believed in me, even now I can hear your voice
Without turning back, I’ll keep searching for tomorrow
There are small, yet powerful flames remaining in my heart
leading me, always with me, helping me out

Shadow Vision

I may end up translating this whole album. Anyways, this song seems to be about a guy who lost his memory, still had the “vision of love” that should’ve disappeared, but eventually even that disappears.

hey 君の眼に どう映っていますか
どんな姿でも 君を信じてるよ

hey kimi no me ni dou utsutteimasu ka
donna sugata demo kimi o shinjiteru yo

Hey, how am I seen by your eyes?
No matter what shape I take, I believe in you

きっとそれは VISION OF LOVE
あの日忘れた EPIC VERSE
無くしたはずの VISION OF LOVE
形を変えた BROKEN HEART

kitto sore wa VISION OF LOVE
ano hi wasureta EPIC VERSE
nakushita haze no VISION OF LOVE
katachi o kaeta BROKEN HEART

Surely that’s a VISION OF LOVE
On that day you forgot about the EPIC VERSE
you should have lost the VISION OF LOVE
It changed its form, your BROKEN HEART

もう一度 よく見て もう一度 教えて
君の心にある 優しさを

mou ichido yoku mite mou ichido oshiete
kimi no kokoro ni aru yasashisa o

Look closely one more time, teach me again one more time
of the kindness in your heart

君が流してた涙の 形を変えてあげたとしても
癒されないままの心だけ抱えてどこへいけばいい

kimi ga nagashiteta namida no katachi o kaete ageta toshitemo
iyasarenai mama no kokoro dake kakaete doko e ikeba ii

Even if I changed the shape of the tears you have shed
you would just carry an unhealed heart, where should I go?

I CAN HEAR YOU DEEP INSIDE ME
I DON’T WANNA LET YOU DOWN
LIKE A PRISONER DEEP INSIDE ME
YOUR VOICE GOT ME WHEREVER YOU WERE

hey 君の手に まだ残っていますか
温もりにも似た 優しさのかけら

hey kimi no te ni mada nokotteimasu ka
nukumori ni mo nita yasashisa no kakera

Hey, do they still remain in your hands?
The fragments of kindness that resembled warmth

そっと消えた VISION OF LOVE
伝え忘れた EPIC VERSE
壊したかった VISION OF LOVE
もう戻らない BROKEN HEART

sotto kieta VISION OF LOVE
tsutae wasureta EPIC VERSE
kowashitakatta VISION OF LOVE
mou modoranai BROKEN HEART

It slowly disappeared, the VISION OF LOVE
You forgot to convey the EPIC VERSE
You wanted to destroy the VISION OF LOVE
It can’t turn back, your BROKEN HEART

もう一度 探して もう一度 教えて
君が集めて来た 想い出を

mou ichido sagashite mou ichido oshiete
kimi ga atsumete kita omoide o

Search for them one more time, teach me one more time
about the memories you’ve gathered back

君が忘れてた笑顔の 形を変えてあげたとしても
満たされないままの心だけ抱えて何をすればいい

kimi ga wasureteta egao no katachi o kaete ageta toshitemo
mitasarenai mama no kokoro dake kakaete nani o sureba ii

Even if I changed the shape of the smile you’ve forgotten
you would just carry an empty heart, what should I do?

I CAN HEAR YOU DEEP INSIDE ME
I DON’T WANNA LET YOU DOWN
LIKE A PRISONER DEEP INSIDE ME
YOUR VOICE GOT ME WHEREVER YOU WERE

君が信じてた全てが 偽物だと気づいたとしても
愛されないままの心だけ壊して前へ進めばいい

kimi ga shinjiteta subete ga nisemono da to kidzuita toshitemo
aisarenai mama no kokoro dake kowashite mae e susumeba ii

Even if you’ve noticed that everything you had believed in is now a fake
you would just destroy the heart you don’t love, I should just move on

I CAN HEAR YOU DEEP INSIDE ME
I DON’T WANNA LET YOU DOWN
LIKE A PRISONER DEEP INSIDE ME
YOUR VOICE GOT ME WHEREVER YOU WERE

I think I overlooked a few tracks from I, SCREAM. This album is better than I remember. This song seems to be about someone who feels that someone is out of their league, that the person is too good/perfect for the speaker, but the speaker tries her best to get that person’s attention anyways.

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆれる 光 流れて落ちる 光に
映り ただ ゆっくり
滲む 世界に 何を 落として

yurari yura yurayura
yureru hikari nagarete ochiru hikari ni
utsuri tada yukkuri
nijimu sekai ni nani o otoshite

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying light reflecting in flowing and falling
light,
merely at ease
What will I drop in this blurry world?

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆれる 気持ち 剥がれて落ちる 未来に
映り 何を願い 何を探したまま
ただ ゆらゆら

yurari yura yurayura
yureru kimochi hagarete ochiru mirai ni
utsuri nani o negai nani o sagashita mama
tada yurayura

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying feelings reflecting in a detaching and falling
future,
what do you wish for? What have you been searching for
while simply swaying?

澄んだ 君の心は広すぎて
どんな言葉 一雫 落としたところで
何も変わらない

sunda kimi no kokoro wa hiro sugite
donna kotoba hitoshizuku otoshita tokoro de
nanimo kawaranai

Your cleared heart is much too spacious
No matter where I shed a drop of words
nothing changes

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
寄せては返して make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
揺さぶる 感じる make waves

your voice it’s just like a WAVE

your voice it’s just like a WAVE
your smile it’s just like a WAVE
break onto the shore and retreat, make waves to the beat
your sign it’s just like a WAVE
your call it’s just like a WAVE
shake, feel, make waves

例え 届かなくても 泳ぎきってみせるから
心に伝えたい 次は僕からの WAVE

tatoe todokanakutemo oyogi kitte miseru kara
kokoro ni tsutaetai tsugi wa boku kara no WAVE

Because even if I can’t reach you, I’ll show you my swimming
I want to convey to your heart, next up is a WAVE from me

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆれる ように 刺さって落ちる 心に
痛み ただ ゆっくり
甘い 痛みに 何を 求めて

yurari yura yurayura
yureru you ni sasatte ochiru kokoro ni
itami tada yukkuri
amai itami ni nani o motomete

Swaying, swaying back and forth
In my pierced and falling heart, as if it’s swaying
is a pain, simply at ease
What do you seek in this sweet pain?

ゆらり ゆら ゆらゆら
ゆらり ゆらり ゆらゆら ゆれる 心は
ゆらり 君を願い 君を探したまま
ただ ゆらゆら

yurari yura yurayura
yurari yurari  yurayura yureru kokoro wa
yurari kimi o negai kimi o sagashita mama
tada yurayura

Swaying, swaying back and forth
Swaying swaying, my swaying heart swaying back and forth
sways, wishes for you, has been searching for you
simply swaying back and forth

そうだ 僕の心は狭すぎて
君の言葉 一雫 落とされただけで
どこへも行けない

sou da boku no kokoro wa sema sugite
kimi no kotoba hitoshizuku otosareta dake de
doko e mo ikenai

That’s right, my heart is much too confined
With just a single drop of your words
I can’t go anywhere

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
波間に浮かんで make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
震える 感じる make waves

your face it’s just like a WAVE
your style it’s just like a WAVE
float on the waves, make waves to the beat
your word it’s just like a WAVE
your dream it’s just like a WAVE
shiver, feel, make waves

例え 叶わなくても 泳ぎきってみせるから
どうか響かせて それは君からの WAVE

tatoe kanawanakutemo oyogi kitte miseru kara
douka hibikasete sore wa kimi kara no WAVE

Because even if my wish doesn’t come true, I’ll show you my swimming
Please let it resound, the WAVE from you

澄んだ 君の心は眩しくて
僕の心 一雫 落とすことなんて
許されないけど

sunda kimi no kokoro wa mabushikute
boku no kokoro hitoshizuku otosu koto nante
yurusarenai kedo

Your cleared up heart is dazzling
If I were to do something like shed a drop of my heart
I wouldn’t be forgiven however

React

Requested by Primity, it sounds somewhat like Kaguya is thinking about escaping the moon to find love in this song. Forgetting the past and moving on, being a bird trapped in a cage, changing the present, that kind of thing. “Good luck, all-seeing light” I imagine refers to the moon, she’s wishing a sort of farewell to it. Of course, I might be somewhat off on my interpretations though.

一人に 慣れたなんて
強がりですら 言えるようになった
素直に笑うには 少しだけれど
時が経ち過ぎてた

hitori ni nareta nante
tsuyogari desura ieru you ni natta
sunao ni warau ni wa sukoshi da keredo
toki ga tachi sugitea

“I’m used to being alone”
is just a bluff, but I’ve come to the point that I can say it
There are few times where I can honestly laugh
but time has passed by way too fast

すれ違いは 飽き飽きしてる
遠回りをし続けてた だけど
それ程伝えたい 言の葉だから
「今」を変えられる
(触れないでね)
優しすぎると 壊れてしまうから

surechigai wa akiaki shiteru
toomawari o shi tsudzuketeta dakedo
sore hodo tsutaetai koto no ha dakara
「ima」 o kaerareru
(furenai de ne)
yasashi sugiru to kowarete shimau kara

I’m sick of crossing paths
I had just continued to go the long way around however
I want to convey my words to that extent so
I can change “the present”
(Don’t touch me)
because if you’re too kind I’ll end up falling apart

隠して 回り道して
いつでも 忘れないでいて
確かな背中合わせの
幸せに寄り添って
月夜には お似合いね
だからこそ

kakushite mawarimichi shite
itsu demo wasurenai de ite
tashika na senaka awase no
shiawase ni yori sotte
tsukiyo ni wa oniai ne
dakara koso

Taking detours and hiding
Please always remember
Getting close to the happiness of
a certain back-to-back
It’s suitable for this moonlit night
for this reason

嘘吐きには 慣れてしまった
後ろ向きには生きたく無い だから
籠の中の鳥は 来るとも知らない
誰かを待ってる
いつかの記憶は いつもと違うから

usotsuki ni wa narete shimatta
ushiromuki ni wa ikitakunai dakara
kago no naka no tori wa kuru to mo shiranai
dare ka o matteru
itsu ka no kioku wa itsu mo to chigau kara

I ended up getting used to liars
because I don’t want to live looking behind my back
I’m waiting for somebody that doesn’t even know
if the bird in its cage will come
that’s because it’s memories from someday are different from usual

「今まで」忘れたくて
「これから」を忘れたくない
泣いてるあなた目がけて
唇を通せんぼ

「ima made」 wasuretakuta
「kore kara」 o wasuretakunai
naiteru anata megakete
kuchibiru o toosenbo

I want to forget “Everything up to now”
I want to remember “Everything from now”
I’m aiming at you as you cry
I’ll hush those lips

本当は永遠なんて あるわけ無いじゃないの
(だから)泣かないで
(だから)泣かせないで
どうする事も出来る訳ない

honto wa eien nante aru wake nai janai no
(dakara) nakanai de
(dakara) nakasenai de
dou suru koto mo dekiru wake nai

The truth is, nothing like “eternity” could really exist, could it?
(and so) don’t cry
(and so) don’t let yourself cry
It’s not like there’s anything we can do

忘れたふりをしても
紡いだ糸は解かない
誰もがしてる様な
「普通」でいたいだけよ
いつか きっと一人きりで
まだ泣いていると思うからこそ
そっと背中合わせに
ずっと 恋して 恋して 恋して 恋して 星を眺めたいの
(言葉は何もいらない 遍く光りよ幸あれ)
(私の帰る場所には 一人じゃない)

wasureta furi o shitemo
tsumuida ito wa hodokanai
dare mo ga shiteru you na
「futsuu」 de itai dake yo
itsu ka kitto hitori kiri de
mada naiteiru to omou kara koso
sotto senaka awase ni
zutto koi shite koi shite koi shite koi shite hoshi o nagametai no
(kotoba wa nani mo iranai amaneku hikari yo sachiare)
(watashi no kaeru basho ni wa hitori janai)

Even if I pretended I forgot
the yarn I spun won’t be undone
I just want to live “normally”
like everyone else does
Someday surely all alone
I think I’ll still be crying, because of that
I want to see the stars together
forever in love in love in love in love gently back to back
(I don’t need any words – good luck, all-seeing light)
(Where I’m going home to, I won’t be alone)
