AdamKadmon can make some great songs. Sometimes the lyrics aren’t so good, but I enjoyed them this time. As usual, lots of ellipses.

Note: For the 「に温かい季節」 lines, 「月に群雲、花に風」 came to mind, so I tried translating them like that.

動けないこのカラだ…霊夢の影てく月
幻は心まで支配してしまう…
瞳の中のキミに　近づけないカラだは…
流れるだけ流れた　雨のように舞う…

ugokenai kono karada… reimu no kagete ku tsuki
maboroshi wa kokoro made shihai shite shimau…
hitomi no naka no kimi ni chikadzukenai karada wa…
nagareru dake nagareta ame no you ni mau…

My immovable body… The shadowing visionary moon
The illusions will reach my heart and control it…
My body, unable to approach you center in my sight…
has shed all that could be, dancing like the rain…

夢でもいい…キミの傍に居たい…
祈りの中…下弦の月と…

yume demo ii… kimi no soba ni itai…
inori no naka… kagen no tsuki to…

I don’t care if it’s a dream… I want to be next to you…
In my prayers… with the waning moon…

そう…哀しい Doll…

ah… koishi sugita
ah… toki wa tomaru
ah… watashi wa tada
sou… kanashii Doll…

ah… I yearned too much
ah… Time comes to a stop
ah… I am simply
yes… a miserable doll…

きらめく夜空に温かい季節
恋しい涙を流したい Doll…

kirameku yozora ni atatakai kisetsu
koishii namida o nagashitai doll…

With the twinkling night sky, warm seasons
Wanting to shed wistful tears, a doll…

さよならはね　雨のようで
季節の中　終えたい…
手足すらも　心さえも
見えはしない　そう Doll…

sayonara wa ne ame no you de
kisetsu no naka oetai…
teashi sura mo kokoro sae mo
mie wa shinai sou Doll…

Since goodbyes are like the rain,
in the midst of the seasons, I want to end them…
Not arms and legs, neither a heart
can you see – yes, a doll…

夢でもいい…夢でもいい…
忘れたくて…忘れないよ…

yume demo ii… yume demo…
wasuretakute… wasurenai yo…

I don’t care if it’s a dream…I don’t care if it’s a dream…
I want to forget… I’m not going to forget…

動けないこのカラだ…霊夢の影てく月
闇夜はいつも君の　心凍らせて…
瞳の中のキミは　こんなに傍にいても…
流れるだけ流れて　同化してしまう…

ugokenai kono karada… reimu no kagete ku tsuki
yami yo wa itsu mo kimi no kokoro koorasete…
hitomi no naka no kimi wa konna ni soba ni itemo…
nagareru dake nagarete douka shite shimau…

My immovable body… The shadowing visionary moon
Dark nights always make your heart freeze over…
Although I’m so close to you, center in my sight…
Shedding all that can be, I’m going to go crazy…

夢でもいい…キミの傍…居させて…
祈りの中…下弦の月夜…

yume demo ii… kimi no soba… isasete…
inori no naka… kagen no tsukiyo

I don’t care if it’s a dream… Let me… be with you…
In my prayers… a night lit by the waning moon…

ah…ワタシはただ
そう…哀しい Doll…

ah… koishi sugita
ah… toki wa meguru
ah… watashi wa tada
sou… kanashii Doll…

ah… I yearned too much
ah… Time flies by
ah… I am simply
yes… a miserable doll…

キミとね涙を流したい Doll…

kirameku hoshi ni ne atatakai kisetsu
kimi to ne namida o nagashitai Doll…

With the twinkling stars, warm seasons
Wanting to shed tears with you, a doll…

さよならはね　雨のようで
季節の中　終えたい…
手足すらも　心さえも
言葉もない　そう Doll…

sayonara wa ne ame no you de
kisetsu no naka oetai…
teashi sura mo kokoro sae mo
kotoba mo nai sou Doll…

Since goodbyes are like the rain,
in the midst of the seasons, I want to end them…
Not arms and legs, neither a heart,
nor words do I have, yes, a doll…

人形の館 | Doll Mansion

I’ve been hooked on Legend of Hourai arrangements recently.
This one in particular is really nice for how calm it is, and how much it focuses on my favourite part of the original song. That would be the part you can hear in the second stanza.
The guitar fade-out is also pleasing. I’m going to need to check out more works from this circle.

★ Title: 人形の館
☆ Album: Legend ～幻想古今東西～
★ Album Artist: 子猫奪回屋
☆ Vocals: Riryka
★ Lyrics: Yoshienote
☆ Arrangement: Poppo
★ Original Title: Legend of Hourai (蓬莱伝説)

深く深い森で　静に時を紡ぐ
今宵も針と糸で　生み出すのはマリオネット

fukaku fukai mori de shizuka ni toki o tsumugu
koyoi mo hari to ito de umi dasu no wa marionetto

In a deep, deep forest, silently, I weave time
This evening, with my needle and yarn, again I give birth to marionettes

想いを込め　祈りを込め　私の指先で
七色の魔法をかけましょう

omoi o kome inori o kome watashi no yubisaki de
nana iro no mahou o kakemashou

Putting in my feelings, putting in my prayers, with my fingertips
I shall cast a rainbow coloured spell

白く白い月が　ガラスの瞳照らす
今宵も館の窓　並んで微笑むだけ

shiroku shiroi tsuki ga garasu no hitomi terasu
koyoi mo yakata no mado narande hohoemu dake

The white, white moon shines upon their glass eyes
This evening, lined up by the mansion’s windows, again they just smile

遠く遠い国の　蓬莱の伝説を
紐解く術はなくも　操るのよマリオネット

tooku tooi kuni no hourai densetsu o
himo toku sube wa naku mo ayatsuru yo marionetto

Although there’s no way to unravel the Hourai legend
of a far, far country, I’ll manipulate marionettes

古今東西南北　いつ如何なる場所いても
私は私のままだから
賑わう宴の日も　孤独で虹描く日も
変わらぬ私でいるけれど

kokon douzainanboku itsu ikanaru basho itemo
watashi wa watashi no mama dakara
nigiwau utage no hi mo kodoku de niji egaku hi mo
kawaranu watashi de iru keredo

Past and present, east, west, south or north, no matter when or what kind of place I’m in
I’ll be myself, after all
During bustling days of feast, or days I draw rainbows in solitude
I still won’t change, however

永久の浪漫をたたう夜に
もしもあなたが道に迷ったなら
いつでも迷わずに　扉を開けて

towa no rouman o tatau yoru ni
moshi mo anata ga michi ni mayotta nara
itsu demo mayowazu ni tobira o akete

During nights filled with an eternal romance
if you happen to be lost on your way
never hesitate to open my door

本気なら見せない主義　でも
本音なら見せてあげる
挑むというなら受けて立ちましょう
いつでもどうぞ

honki nara misenai shugi demo
honne nara misete ageru
idomu to iu nara ukete tachimashou
itsu demo douzo

Even the principles I don’t show when serious
I’ll show to you if you’re genuine
If you say you’ll challenge me, I shall accept
You’re always welcome

金の髪の人形の館で　私は生きる

kin no kami no ningyou no yakata de watashi wa ikiru

In the mansion of blonde haired dolls, here I live

It’s been a while. Anyway, here we are again, back with another Amateras Records song.
Reactionary Wave is slowly being completed.

此処から今すぐ

koko kara ima sugu

From here, right now

ずっと見てきた　分かるよ　守るべきを
きっとそうだと心に映して

zutto mite kita wakaru yo mamoru beki o
kitto sou da to kokoro ni utsushite

I’ve always been watching, I understand, who I should protect
My certainty is reflected in my heart

言葉選びも　なりふり構わず
かっこつけたいよ　何時だってほら

kotoba erabi mo narifuri kamawazu
kakko tsuketai yo itsu datte hora

Regardless of how I look or what words I choose
I want to look cool all the time, you see

蹴り付けた弱虫を
私らしく変えたい
弱さなど見せないで
強く　強く　鮮やかに

keri tsuketa yowamushi o
watashi rashiku kaetai
yowasa nado misenai de
tsuyoku tsuyoku azayaka ni

I want to change the weaklings
that I kicked aside to be more like me
Don’t show me any weakness
Be strong, be strong, and stand out

痛みなど怖くない
君が側にいるから
守るべき　その側で
ずっと　ずっと　何時までも

itami nado kowakunai
kimi ga soba ni iru kara
mamoru beki sono soba de
zutto zutto itsu made mo

Pain doesn’t scare me
I have you by my side after all
Next to who I must protect
forever, forever, for all time

そっと隠した言葉に意味はあるの？
すれ違う度　孤独になるから

sotto kakushita kotoba ni imi wa aru no?
sure chigau tabi kodoku ni naru kara

Is there a meaning to words quietly concealed?
Because every time we cross, I become lonely

正義の味方　憧れてたのは
守りたかった　ただそれだけで

seigi no mikata akogareteta no wa
mamoritakatta tada sore dake de

The only reason I admired heroes
is because I wanted to protect you, that’s it

信じて　そこから…

shinjite soko kara…

Have faith, and from there…

突き上げた拳には
願い・希望　全てを
全力で託したい
何時も側で笑ってて

tsuki ageta kobushi ni wa
negai ・kibou subete o
zenryoku de takushitai
itsu mo soba de warattete

To my upthrust fists
I want to entrust my hopes and dreams –
everything, and with all my might
Always stay smiling by my side

不器用な背中ごと
ギュッとギュッと抱き締め
二人なら出来ること
なんとなくで分かるから

bukiyou na senaka goto
gyutto gyutto daki shime
futari nara dekiru koto
nanto naku de wakaru kara

Hugging you tightly
your awkward back and all
somehow I understand
what we can do together after all

蹴り付けた弱虫を
私らしく変えたい
弱さなど見せないで
強く　強く　鮮やかに

keri tsuketa yowamushi o
watashi rashiku kaetai
yowasa nado misenai de
tsuyoku tsuyoku azayaka ni

I want to change the weaklings
that I kicked aside to be more like me
Don’t show me any weakness
Be strong, be strong, and stand out

痛みなど怖くない
君が側にいるから
守るべき　その側で
ずっと　ずっと　何時までも

itami nado kowakunai
kimi ga soba ni iru kara
mamoru beki sono soba de
zutto zutto itsu made mo

Pain doesn’t scare me
I have you by my side after all
Next to who I must protect
forever, forever, for all time

Requested by SumireArche, these lyrics are somewhat cryptic.

Usually Kaito’s lyrics are more straightforward, but I have no idea what a filter atop sand could mean.

雨　切なさを連れてsweetie　包み込まれて
瞳に宿す情念に雪　花のように舞う

ame setsunasa o tsurete sweetie tsutsumi komarete
me ni yadosu jounen ni yuki hana no you ni mau

With the rain bringing heartbreak, sweetie, I’m being wrapped up
There’s snow in the passion my eyes keep, dancing like flowers

目隠しで探したアテもないままで
忍び寄るその足音　鼓動高鳴る
思うまま枠に嵌めて　初めて目が合う
この感じ忘れられず君を求めた

mekakushi de sagashita ate mo nai mama de
shinobi yoru sono ashioto kodou takanaru
omou mama waku ni hamete hajimete me ga au
kono kanji wasurerarezu kimi o motometa

As I searched blindfolded without purpose,
your footsteps sneek close, my heart throbs
Filling the framework as desired, for the first time, our eyes meet
Unable to forget this feeling, I sought you

遠くもっと遠く　せせらぐ風のよう
この空に咲いた一輪の花
水面ユラユラと揺るぎない強さを魅せたのは
砂上のFILTER

tooku motto tooku seseragu kaze no you
kono sora ni saita ichirin no hana
minamo yura yura to yurugi nai tsuyosa o miseta no wa
sajou no FILTER

Far, even further, like the whistling wind
goes a single flower that bloomed in this sky
What bewitched the unwavering strength of the water’s surface was
a sand-foundation FILTER

輝き見つけ出した　そっと秘めた想い
陽のあたる幻想を二人で歩くように

kagayaki mitsuke dashita sotto hisometa omoi
hi no ataru omoide o futari de aruku you ni

I found a shine, secretly hidden feelings
so we could walk through fantastic sun-lit memories together

無意識に避けてた言葉に触れたら
目を覚ます心が今映すのは誰？

muishiki ni saketeta kotoba ni furetara
me o samasu kokoro ga ima utsusu no wa dare?

When I touch upon the words I had unconsciously avoided
who will my awakening heart now reflect?

綺麗な青空　虹を纏うように
鮮明に煌き手繰り寄せて
滴る言葉を繋いで渡るよに
視えずとも信じることが出来た

kirei na aozora niji o matou you ni
senmei ni kirameki taguri yosete
shitataru kotoba o tsunaide wataru yo ni
miezu to mo shinjiru koto ga dekita

The pretty blue sky, looking clad in rainbows
vividly glitters and hauls me in
In order to connect trickling words and cross,
I’ve managed to believe, even I can’t see

不思議な感覚　奇跡を望むなら引き寄せて
夢に魔法をかけて
初めて出会ったあの時からずっと胸の奥
砂上のFILTER

fushigi na kankaku kiseki o nozomu nara hiki yosete
yume ni mahou o kakete
hajimete deatta ano toki kara zutto mune no oku
sajou no FILTER

If you desire a miracle or a mysterious sensation, pull one in
Cast magic on your dreams
Ever since we first met, forever in my heart
a sand-foundation FILTER
