Not exactly my favourite from this album, but it was short, so why not?

★ Title: Nothingness
☆ Album: Trip to Fairyland
★ Album Artist: Amateras Records
☆ Vocals: KUMI (Wotamin(ヲタみん))
★ Lyrics: Tsukiyama Sae (築山さえ)
☆ Arrangement: Masayoshi Minoshima
★ Original Title: The Lake Reflects the Cleansed Moonlight (湖は浄めの月光を映して)

深く深く仄暗い湖は
今日も昨日と変わらずに凪いでいて
遠くて近いような夜空にそっと
満月は静かに輝いている

fukaku fukaku honogurai mizuumi wa
kyou mo kinou to kawarazu ni naideite
tookute chikai you na yozora ni sotto
mangetsu wa shizuka ni kagayaiteiru

The very, very, dim lake
is calm today, same as yesterday
Gently, in the far, yet close looking night sky
the full moon silently shines

孤独に佇む私の
尽きることのない哀しみたちはきっと
この湖に浮かぶことも沈むこともない

kodoku ni tatazumu watashi no
tsukiru koto no nai kanashimitachi wa kitto
kono mizuumi ni ukabu koto mo shizumu koto mo nai

Standing still in solitude,
my inexhaustible sorrows will surely
neither float on this lake nor sink

青く青く仄暗い湖は
私の心　鏡のように映す
遠くて近いような夜空にそっと
届くはずのない手を伸ばしてみる

aoku aoku honogurai mizuumi wa
watashi no kokoro kagami no you ni utsusu
tookute chikai you na yozora ni sotto
todoku hazu no nai te o nobashite miru

The blue, blue, dim lake
reflects my heart like a mirror
Gently, to the far, yet close looking night sky
I try stretching out my hand that has no way of reaching

孤独に佇む私の
尽きることのない寂しさたちはきっと
この湖に浮かぶことも沈むこともない

kodoku ni tatazumu watashi no
tsukiru koto no nai samishisatachi wa kitto
kono mizuumi ni ukabu koto mo shizumu koto mo nai

Standing still in solitude,
my inexhaustible loneliness will surely
neither float on this lake nor sink

The LoLK title track can be amazing when arranged correctly. I think this is one of those cases, but I may be biased, since I love this type of song anyway.
I’m sure that this is a Reimu song, though she has been to the moon before in the manga.

この海の向こうは
何色をしているの？
見たことない景色
遥か彼方まで広がっているかな

kono umi no mukou wa
nani iro o shiteiru no?
mita koto nai keshiki
haruka kanata made hirogatteiru kana

What colour is it
beyond this sea?
All the way into the distance
I wonder if a scenery I’ve never seen is spread out

それは宇宙の色
揺蕩って流されて辿り着く

sore wa uchuu no iro
tayutatte nagasarete tadori tsuku

It’s the colour of the universe
Drifting and being swept away, I follow it

信じて守ってきたモノは
変わらずこのまま抱きしめ
新しい旅立ち　そのときも
私は忘れず　連れてゆくよ

shinjite mamotte kita mono wa
kawarazu kono mama daki shime
atarashii tabidachi sono toki mo
watashi wa wasurezu tsurete yuku yo

The things I’ve believed in and protected,
without a change, I embrace like this
Even when it’s time for a new journey
I don’t forget and bring them with me

初めて見る世界
だけど私は怯えたりはしないよ

hajimete miru sekai
dakedo watashi wa obietari wa shinai yo

It’s my first time seeing this world
but I’m not scared at all

どこにいてもブレたりしない
変わることのない私

doko ni itemo buretari shinai
kawaru koto no nai watashi

No matter where I am, I won’t be disturbed
Not me, who never changes

あのとき私を強くした
思い出　経験　抱きしめ
新しい旅立ち　そのときも
私はまっすぐ進めるから

ano toki watashi o tsuyoku shita
omoide keiken daki shime
atarashii tabidachi sono toki mo
watashi wa massugu susumeru kara

Those times made me strong
My memories and experiences I embrace
Even when it’s time for a new journey
I can go straight ahead after all

Love me some AdamKadmon. Can’t wait for their newest album, Train.

Lyrics from Xiami, so I don’t know how reliable they are. I took 霞める as 掠める.

to…her…

懐かしい青い空へと
ふと帰りたくなるよ
君の笑う声で起きて
ふと空を見上げたよ

natsukashii aoi sora e to
futo kaeritaku naru yo
kimi no warau koe de okite
futo sora o mi ageta yo

Suddenly I find myself wanting to
return to the nostalgic blue sky
Waking up to your laugh,
I looked up to the sky without thinking

風は優しく　頬を霞めて
さよならの時　流した涙
隠し続けてる…

kaze wa yasashiku hoho o kasumete
sayonara no toki nagashita namida
kakushi tsudzuketeru…

The wind gently rubs my cheeks
It’s time for goodbye, and I continue
to hide my tears…

wanna still be love…彼方へ
wanna still be love この両手広げて
もう空へ　出かけに行こうよ

wanna still be love… kanata e
wanna still be love kono ryoute hirogete
mou sora e dekake ni yukou yo

wanna still be love… into the distance
wanna still be love, I raise out both my hands
Let’s take off to the sky already

wanna still be love…いつでも
wanna still be love…果てしない
涙を超えてね　出かけに行こうよ

wanna still be love… itsu demo
wanna still be love… hate shinai
namida o koete ne dekake ni yukou yo

wanna still be love… forever
wanna still be love… without an end
Let’s beat the tears and go out

to…her…her

懐かしい青い空から
この歌が流れ出す
君と会う度　聴かせたい
すぐに涙を止めて

natsukashii aoi sora kara
kono uta ga nagare dasu
kimi to au tabi kikasetai
sugu ni namida o tomete

This song flows down from
the nostalgic blue sky
I want to make you listen to it every time we meet
Hurry up and stop the tears

風は優しく　頬を霞める
さよならの時　笑顔でまたねって
泣いていたの　true…

kaze wa yasashiku hoho o kasumeru
sayonara no toki egao de mata ne tte
naiteita no true…

The wind gently rubs my cheeks
It was time for goodbye, and I said “see you later”
with a smile, crying, it’s true…

wanna still be love…彼方へ
wanna still be love…傍にいてあげたい
いつでも　どんな時だって

wanna still be love… kanata e
wanna still be love… soba ni ite agetai
itsu demo donna toki datte

wanna still be love… into the distance
wanna still be love… I want to be there for you
forever, all the time

あの空へ　もう一度
あの空へ　帰りたくなったら
この空　見上げて二人で…

ano sora e mou ichido
ano sora e kaeritaku nattara
kono sora mi agete futari de…

To that sky, once more
To that sky, when I begin wanting to return
I look up at this sky with you…

to…her…
lalala…

million lights, wondering star

Happy New Year. Normally, I start an event with Alstroemeria albums, but I’m loving the Zytokine one more than usual this time.

★ Title: million lights, wondering star
☆ Album: BEAUTIFUL KILLER
★ Album Artist: ZYTOKINE
☆ Vocals: aki
★ Arrangement and lyrics: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: The Sea Where the Home Planet is Reflected (故郷の星が映る海 )
★ Website: http://zytokine-web.com/

この手を　零れ落ちる　寂しさ　涙の音
響いて　また　星の海へと　沈むから

kono te o kobore ochiru samishisa namida no oto
hibiite mata hoshi no umi e to shizumu kara

The loneliness spilling through my hands and the sound of tears resonate
I’ll sink into the sea of stars again after all

その　光を　ずっと　見ていたかった

sono hikari o zutto miteitakatta

I wanted to look at the lights forever

星の下　彷徨い続けて　夜の波間に　浮かんでいたいのに
ささやかな　願いさえ　沈んでゆく
星の海の底で眺める　滲んだままの　哀しい光たち
今は未だ何も知らない　子どものように　跳ねて

hoshi no shita samayoi tsudzukete yoru no namima ni ukandeitai noni
sasayaka na negai sae shizunde yuku
hoshi no umi no soko de nagameru nijinda mama no kanashii hikari tachi
ima wa mada nani mo shiranai kodomo no you ni hanete

Continuing to wander below the stars, I want to keep on floating in the rift of night
but even the most meager of wishes sink away
From the depths of the sea of stars I gaze, as the sad lights, remaining blurred,
prance like children who, for now, still know nothing

夢から醒めるときに　聴こえた　気がしていた
何かが　少しずつ　崩れてゆく音を

yume kara sameru toki ni kikoeta ki ga shiteita
nani ka ga sukoshi zutsu kuzurete yuku oto o

I have a feeling I heard it before I woke up from my dream
The sound of something crumbling bit by bit

その　答えを　きっと　探し出せずに

sono kotae o kitto sagashi dasezu ni

I’m sure I’ll never be able to find the answer

何もかも　溶けて消えてゆく　星の波間に　浮かぶ淡い夢
眩しさに　隠しては　沈んでゆく
星の海の底で揺れてる　滲んだままの　哀しい光たち
全てを失うこと　受け入れてるように　見えて

nani mo kamo tokete kiete yuku hoshi no namima ni ukabu awai yume
mabushisa ni kakushite wa shizunde yuku
hoshi no umi no soko de yureteru nijinda mama no kanashii hikari tachi
subete o ushinau koto o uke ireteru you ni miete

Everything melts and fades away, and the faint dreams that float in the rifts between the stars
hide in the brightness and then sink away
In the depths of the sea of stars, I sway, as the sad lights, remaining blurred,
appear as if they fully accept losing everything

また会う日まで　さよなら

mata au hi made sayonara

Until we meet again, goodbye

星の下　歌い続けてる　届かない事　わかっているのに
昏い輝きを　哀しく　放って
星の海の底で眺める　終わったはずの　優しい光たち
照らしてる　幸せな終わり方を

hoshi no shita utai tsudzuketeru todokanai koto wakatteiru noni
kurai kagayaki o kanashiku hanatte
hoshi no umi no soko de nagameru owatta hazu no yasashii hikari tachi
terashiteru shiawase na owarikata o

Beneath the stars, I continue to sing, even though I know that it won’t reach
sadly sending out a dim shine
From the depths of the sea of stars, I gaze, as the gentle lights that should have ended,
dream and again hide

夢をみては　また隠して

yume o mite wa mata kakushita

a happy way to finish shining
