Peaceful Romancer

Warning: This has been entirely transcribed and translated by ear, and it shows this time too, because I’m missing a few words.
This is the best I can make of it for now. Mican’s voice is even less clear than Nachi’s.

At this point, I’m starving for lyrics.

Please help.

Ah

Edit: The lyrics are in, woo! As such, the transcription has been modified to match, though I would like to note that it was 100% accurate aside from the two words I knew I didn’t get.

ほらねきっと大丈夫 周りなんか気にしない
君の思いそれだけで 届くはずさ必ずね
きっと君は大丈夫 周りなんか気にしない
自分自身信じれば 全てきっとうまくゆく

hora ne kitto daijoubu mawari nanka ki ni shinai
kimi no omoi sore dake de todoku hazu sa kanarazu ne
kitto kimi wa daijoubu mawari nanka ki ni shinai
jibun jishin shinjireba subete kitto umaku yuku

Look here, it’s going to be fine, pay no attention to what’s around you
Through your feelings alone, you should reach, for sure
You’re going to be fine for sure, pay no attention to what’s around you
As long as you believe in yourself, everything’s going to go great

今の君遠回り してるだけ迷わずに
いれるなら大丈夫 ゴールほら見えてくる
諦めず進むなら 気にしてもそれは無駄
悲しみも苦しみも 思い出のひとつさ

ima no kimi toomawari shiteru dake mayowazu ni
ireru nara daijoubu gooru hora miete kuru
akiramezu susumu nara ki ni shitemo sore wa muda
kanashimi mo kurushimi mo omoide no hitotsu sa

You’re just taking the long way right now
if you keep your way
it’ll be all right, look, the goal is coming into sight
If you advance, not giving up, even if you worry, that’s pointless
Sorrow and suffering are both part of your memories, see

何度でも繰り返せ
何度でも立ち上がれ
躓いて泣いてても 構わないから
雨ならば止んでゆく
心なら晴れてゆく
想いを刻み込み 前を見つめ

nando demo kuri kaese
nando demo tachi agare
tsumadzuite naitetemo kamawanai kara
ame naraba yande yuku
kokoro nara harete yuku
omoi o kizumi komi mae o mitsume

As much as it takes, try again
As much as it takes, rise up
Even if you’re crying after tripping up, it doesn’t matter
If there’s rain, it’ll stop
As for your heart, it’ll clear up
Engraving your feelings, focus on what’s ahead

ほらねきっと大丈夫 君の願いそこにある
君が願うそれだけで 見えるはずさ必ずね
きっと君が大丈夫 塞ぐ心ここにない
自分自身信じれば 夢が君に近づくさ

hora ne kitto daijoubu kimi no negai soko ni aru
kimi ga negau sore dake de mieru hazu sa kanarazu ne
kitto kimi ga daijoubu fusagu kokoro koko ni nai
jibun jishin shinjireba yume ga kimi ni chikadzuku sa

Look here, it’s going to be fine, your wishes lay there
Through your wishing alone, you should see it, for sure
You’re going to be fine for sure, you’ll find no closed hearts here
As long as you believe in yourself, your dreams will approach you

いつまでも夢を追う 大丈夫それでいい
呪文ならそこにある 君の夢その胸に
いつまでもどこまでも ただ遠く思えても
歩んでる道しるべ 夢のひとつだから

itsu made mo yume o ou daijoubu sore de ii
jumon nara soko ni aru kimi no yume sono mune ni
itsu made mo doko made mo tada tooku omoetemo
ayunderu michi shirube yume no hitotsu dakara

As long as it takes, bearing your dreams, don’t worry, that’s fine
Magic words? They’re there, and your dreams are in your heart
As long as it takes, as far as you must, even if it seems simply distant
the path you walk is part of your dreams after all

何度でも繰り返せ
何度でも立ち上がれ
躓いて這ってても 構わないから
雨ならば止んでいる
心なら晴れている
おもいを刻み込み前を見つめ

nando demo kuri kaese
nando demo tachi agare
tsumadzuite hattetemo kamawanai kara
ame naraba yandeiru
kokoro nara hareteiru
omoi o kizami komi mae o mitsume

As much as it takes, try again
As much as it takes, rise up
Even if you’re crawling after tripping up, it doesn’t matter
As for the rain, it’s stopped
As for your heart, it’s cleared up
Engraving your feelings, focus on what’s ahead

サクラ・ホライズン(BEATLESS) | Sakura Horizon(BEATLESS)

Warning: This song was transcribed and translated entirely by ear. It seems like I always do at least one of these by-ear things each music event.
This song really shares a lot of similarities with Blossom Flight. Almost as if it’s the other side of the song.
Maybe it is.
You can hear the “beat” version in twinkle*twinkle’s “Fortune Music Selection of nachi” album.

Edit: Lyrics updated to match the booklet. I ended up making 3 small mistakes in this song.
Firstly, I mistook よりは for ようには.
Second was mistaking いえなくて for いえなくて. That is, 癒えなくて for 言えなくて. Nothing I could do about that, warning was there for a reason.
Lastly, 一緒にねいていた was 一緒に泣いていた, but there was such a delay on the な that I thought いていた was a separate word. orz
For a song of this length, I’d like to think I did decently.

花びら舞い落ちる 雨の夜
泣いてるみたいだね この桜
こんなに苦しいよ 悲しいよ
何度でも君の名を 呼んでも

hanabira mai ochiru ame no yoru
naiteru mitai da ne kono sakura
konna ni kurushii yo kanashii yo
nando demo kimi no na o yondemo

On this rainy night, petals dancing down
It looks like the cherry blossom trees are crying
It hurts so much, it’s so sad
no matter how many times I call out your name

もう一度 逢いたくて
今でも逢いたくて この場所に来るけど
もういない 君の名を この胸に 刻み 夢を残す

mou ichido aitakute
ima demo aitakute kono basho ni kuru kedo
mou inai kimi no na o kono mune ni kizami yume o nokosu

I want to see you one more time
Wanting to see you even now, I come to this place
but carving your departed name in my chest, I leave my dreams behind

君がくれていた 優しさまだ忘れないよ
私は貴方に 何かをあげられたのかな
わからないけれど 泣くよりは笑えと言うね
だから今この場所に 笑顔届けにくるね

kimi ga kureteita yasashisa mada wasurenai yo
watashi wa anata ni nani ka o agerareta no kana
wakaranai keredo naku yori wa warae to iu ne
dakara ima kono basho ni egao todoke ni kuru ne

I still won’t forget that kindness you shared with me
I wonder if I was able to give anything to you
I don’t really understand, but they say to laugh rather than cry
So now I come here to send off a smile

君が好きな桜は またここに咲いている
優しさを忘れずに 今もまたきれいで
私は好きでいたい いつまでもこの桜
残された 思い出のひとつだから

kimi ga suki na sakura wa mata koko ni saiteiru
yasashisa o wasurezu ni ima mo mata kirei de
watashi wa suki de itai itsu made mo
kono sakura nokosareta omoide no hitotsu dakara

The cherry blossom trees you love are blooming here again
Not forgetting your kindness, even now they’re still pretty
I want to live liking them, forever
You’re a part of the memories they left behind after all

綺麗だね 雨の中
咲いている夜桜は いつまでも
こんなに優しくて 悲しいの
何度でも 君の名を 呼んでも

kirei da ne ame no naka
saiteiru yozakura wa itsu made mo
konna ni yasashikute kanashii no
nando demo kimi no na o yondemo

Aren’t they pretty, in the rain
the night cherry blossoms
are always
so nice, it’s sad
no matter how many times I call out your name

今はまだ 癒えなくて
いまでも逢いたくて この場所に来るけど
もういない 君の名を この胸に 刻み 夢を残す

ima wa mada ienakute
ima demo aitakute kono basho ni kuru kedo
mou inai kimi no na o kono mune ni kizami yume mo nokosu

I still can’t heal yet
Wanting to see you even now, I come to this place
but carving your departed name in my chest, I leave my dreams behind

君と過ごしてた毎日 忘れられないよ
私は貴方に 優しくできていたのかな
わからないけれど 下向くなら上を向いて
この場所で笑顔見せ 涙堕ちないように

kimi to sugoshiteta mainichi wasurerarenai yo
watashi wa anata ni yasashiku dekiteita no kana
wakaranai keredo shita muku nara ue o muite
kono basho de egao mise namida ochinai you ni

I can’t possibly forget the days I spent with you
I wonder if I was able to treat you kindly
I don’t really understand, but look up if you’re looking down
At this place, I show my smile so the tears won’t fall

君と私を裂いた あの夜にこの桜
雨で散り行く姿 一緒に泣いていた
私は好きでいるよ いつまでもこの桜
大切な 思い出のひとつだから

kimi to watashi o saita ano yoru ni kono sakura
ame de chiri yuku sugata issho ni naiteita
watashi wa suki de iru yo itsu made mo
kono sakura taisetsu na omoide no hitotsu dakara

On that night that split apart you and I, the figures of
the cherry blossoms scattering in the rain were crying together

I’ll live liking them, forever
They’re a part of my precious memories after all

舞い落ちる 雨の夜
泣いてるみたいだね この桜
こんなに苦しいよ 悲しいよ
何度でも 君の名を 呼んでも

mai ochiru ame no yoru
naiteru mitai da ne kono sakura
konna ni kurushii yo kanashii yo
nando demo kimi no na o yondemo

On this rainy night, dancing down
It looks like the cherry blossom trees are crying
It hurts so much, it’s so sad
no matter how many times I call out your name

もう一度 逢いたくて
今でも逢いたくて この場所に来るけど
もういない 君の名を この胸に 刻み 夢を残す

mou ichido aitakute
ima demo aitakute kono basho ni kuru kedo
mou inai kimi no na o kono mune ni kizami yume o nokosu

I want to see you one more time,
Wanting to see you even now, I come to this place
but carving your departed name in my chest, I leave my dreams behind

逢いたいよ 泣きたいよ
今でも苦しいよ 悲しいよ
こんなに雨の夜 大嫌い
私だけ 独りにしないでよ

aitai yo nakitai yo
ima demo kurushii yo kanashii yo
konna ni ame no yoru dai kirai
watashi dake hitori ni shinai de yo

I want to see you, I want to cry
It still hurts now, it’s so sad
I hate the nights with rains so much
Don’t leave me all alone by myself

もう一度 逢いたいよ
いまでも逢いたいよ 逢いたいの
君を困らせたい わがままは この胸に 隠し 笑顔残す

mou ichido aitai yo
ima demo aitai yo aitai no
kimi o komarasetai wagamama wa kono mune ni kakushi egao nokosu

I want to see you one more time
I want to see you even now, I really do
Hiding my selfishness that wants to trouble you in my heart, I leave behind my smile

思い出は いつまでも 消えない
傷ならば いつの日か 癒せる
嘘だよね そんなこと 私は
いまもまだ こんなにも 苦しい
夜桜は 夜桜で 優しく
いつまでも 私だけ 見ている
雨の日も 夜桜は 好きだよ
綺麗だし 優しいし

omoide wa itsu made mo kienai
kizu naraba itsu no hi ka iyaseru
uso da yo ne sonna koto watashi wa
ima mo mada konna ni mo kurushii
yozakura wa yozakura de yasashiku
itsu made mo watashi dake miteiru
ame no hi mo yozakura wa suki da yo
kirei da shi yasashii shi

The memories will never disappear
If it’s a wound, it can heal someday
Things like that are lies, aren’t they
Still, even now, it hurts so much
The night cherry blossoms, as they are, gently
have been looking at me alone all this time
I like the night cherry blossoms, even on rainy days
They’re pretty, and nice, after all…

本当は 大嫌い

hontou wa dai kirai

Deep down I hate them

Reitaisai 12 Anticipation

I got sick of just tweeting what I thought about 例大祭 12, and decided to put out an anticipation post for once. I’m not sure what to write for an introduction, and I don’t think I have anything to say here either way, so let’s just cut right to chase.

Looking back, I think I may have typed too much…

Zytokine – hundred hundred

Zytokine’s kicking off this Reitaisai with a full PC98 album, and itori is back! I can’t offer many criticisms, since it tops Photographic Destinations in seemingly every way. Even the cover art is better (Aya’s tube leg really gets to me).

The album begins by reeling us in with “rebooted chaos”’s hooking beat. The next noteworthy track is Nachi’s. Linjin really seems to put Nachi’s voice to better use than most circles, and you can really hear it in “fantastic drive.” You can’t have a Zytokine album without Itori, and her tracks are great. They definitely provide the balance the album needs. The only songs I’m not too much a fan of are “relation” and “liquid prison,” but even those may grow on me when I hear the full versions.

Alstroemeria Records – POP|CULTURE 3

Let’s be honest, who really wanted Pop Culture 3? Personally, I feel like the name could use a bit more creativity while keeping the pattern, like “Pop Explosion” or something, rather than just adding a 3. From what I hear, these albums are named such because they draw influences from popular EDM tracks.

While the album mainly follows the pattern of the old Pop Cultures, there’s one surprise: NOMICO! After 4.5 years, she’s back for this album as vocalist for perhaps my favourite track of the album: “Lost Emotion.” Nachi’s track may be good, but the crossfade doesn’t really go anywhere, so I can’t judge it. Tracy, from Amateras Records, made another guest appearance in “COMO,” along with a voice sample saying “Fuck you.” I couldn’t help but laugh when I heard it. Lost Emotion, Peaceful Romancer, Doll of Misery and サクラ・ホライズン are the only ones that really seem to hold my interest this time around.

SOUND HOLIC – 封 -FUU-

Another Sound Holic album of their multi-genre kanji series. This time, featuring “Magical Astronomy” and “Retrospective 53 Minutes” arranges, as a continuation of 秘 -HIME-.

Eh, I can’t say any of the tracks have me too hooked. “Galaxy Flower” sounded pretty cool. I’m usually not a fan of Sound Holic’s eurobeat tracks, but this one was good. “Rogue Star” is too hard for me. Oceanic Blue doesnt feel like it really goes anywhere, but I like the inclusion of Blue Sea of 53 Minutes in there. 「エデン」 is good. I’ve always liked Yurika tracks, so I’ll give “方舟 -ARK-” a go while I’m talking about her. I’m not too much a fan of Swing Holic’s jazz, but I love 向こう側の月, so I have to at least somewhat enjoy 「荒城のセレナーデ」. Linjin uses some sounds I’ve never heard him use before in “”Lost in space,” reminding me a bit of Alstroemeria (in a bad way). CALEN and 3L tracks are others I’ve always generally enjoyed, so I’m looking forward to “beyond the stars” and 「夢色世界」 as well.

Swing Holic – Vol. 15

As said previously, I’m generally not a fan of Swing Holic’s jazz, but DDC has the best Touhou OST I’ve heard in a while, so I have to give this a listen. Plus, just look at that Sukuna on the cover. I won’t go deep into this crossfade, but I did enjoy it.

EastNewSound – Nostalgic Breeze

The crossfade isn’t out for this one yet either, but I generally enjoy EastNewSound’s albums. I’m sure it’ll be good.

Sally (サリー)

NSY and Wani seem to be taking a big break lately, and who can blame them, after putting out so many new albums one after another. This Reitaisai, they’re only putting out remastered versions of “シンドローム” and “Sally.” Not much to say about that, but they are good albums.

No news of new releases from Monochrome-Coat or AdamKadmon, though I hear they are playing a live show this Reitaisai along with Sally.

Toranoana (とらのあな) – 東方幻奏響UROBOROS参

A third Uroboros album already? I haven’t listened through the entire thing, but it is what it is: a compilation album just like the previous ones, featuring all your favourite circles. I would like to point out that the vocalist for Monochrome-Coat here is Yudzuki (癒月), the same one who sung “Dear You” from the Higurashi series. That’s pretty cool.

Babbe Music – RADIANT DANCEFLOOR

“7th Full Moon” reminds me a lot of a Alstroemeria’s “Endless Morass”
Isn’t that the same melody in the background? Yes it is. Definitely looking forward to “Let Me Be Your Star,” the Reverse Ideology arrange. I love the interlude track as well. None of the other tracks caught my attention as much, but it’s a really solid album. Definitely worth checking out.

twinkle*twinkle – Fortune Music selection of nachi

A best-of album, featuring Sakaue Nachi’s works from various circles and albums, and a few original songs too. It really does have a lot of her more memorable works, so it’s hard not to love it.

Amateras Records × M.H.S – Harmony of Twice

I’ve never heard of M.H.S before, but as well as releasing an instrumental album for Unrequited Hearts and a best-of album, Amateras is doing a collab album! I don’t really have any strong opinions to say here, but “Eyes of Truth” and the “akasha-assembly” Tracy Remix are great.

凋叶棕 – 求

Cute Cirno! I really like the ice hair. This album’s focused on youkai, with the theme being their “instincts.” It always takes me a while to warm up to new RD-Sounds releases, but I’m really liking the instrumental songs, such as 水面よりソット・ヴォーチェ and グレートアトラクター.
Φ串Φ is back with another 死せる哲学の袂esque song as well: 「善意のマモノ」.

Yonder Voice – 蒼月の懺悔詩~Universal Nemesis

I really liked Yonder Voice’s last album, so I decided to give this one a listen to as well, and it sounds just as promising. I can’t say I like the first track too much, but the rest is gold.

Find Your Way – I COULD COVER WHATEVER I WANTED IF I WANTED

Album art in the works, I’ve always liked Veto’s music, and it’s free! Wow! As you can see from the title, this EP is entirely focused on covering songs, including one from 9bFOX, one from Foreground Eclipse, and 死際サテライト.
I mainly want to take this time to say that his last EP, “HOMEWARD EP,” was pretty good too. Especially if you like acoustic songs. In the future, Veto plans to release a full Find Your Way album as well, so don’t miss it.
