Double Standard

Just to clear up any possible misunderstandings, but “scales” here means like, the libra sort of scale, not animal scales.

揺れている 天秤の音
言霊を 繋ぎ止めてる
不思議だね とれてないはずの
その バランス
信じては だめ
響く アンバランス

yureteiru tenbin no oto
kotodama o tsunagi tometeru
fushigi da ne toretenai hazu no
sono baransu
shinjite wa dame
hibiku anbaransu

The swaying sound of the scales
fastening tightly the power of language
What a mystery, it’s not supposed to stay attained
that balance isn’t
It’s no good to believe
An imbalance can be heard

僕は今まで どれくらい
何を信じてきたの

boku wa ima made dore kurai
nani o shinjite kita no

How long has it been up to this point?
What have I came to believe in?

投げるコイン 表と裏
僕が望む正しさなんて
曖昧で 頼りなくて
言葉にすらできなくて

nageru koin omote to ura
boku ga nozomu tadashisa nante
aimai de tayorinakute
kotoba ni sura dekinakute

I throw the coin, heads or tails
Things such as the rightousness I desire
are unclear, and vague
I can’t even put it into words

白い夢の その奥に
隠れている 黒い夢
それを罪と呼ぶのなら
僕ら裁かれてかまわない

shiroi yume no sono oku ni
kakureiteiru kuroi yume
sore o tsumi to yobu no nara
bokura sabakarete kamawanai

Deep within the clear white dream
a dark black dream is hidden inside
If that’s what they call a sin
it won’t matter if we get judged

揺れている 天秤の音
優しさを はき違えてる
不思議だね とれていたはずの
その バランス
信じるほどに
響く アンバランス

yureteiru tenbin no oto
yasashisa o haki chigaeteru
fushigi da ne toreteita hazu no
sono baransu
shinjiru hodo ni
hibiku anbaransu

The swaying sound of the scales
mistaking that kindness
What a mystery, it was supposed to stay attained
that balance was
To the point of believing
an imbalance can be heard

僕は今まで どれくらい
何に応えてきたの

boku wa ima made dore kurai
nani ni kotaete kita no

How long has it been up to this point?
What have I came to respond to?

揺れるコイン 表と裏
君が望む正しさなんて
完璧で すがりたくて
でもそれすらできなくて

yureru koin omote to ura
kimi ga nozomu tadashisa nante
kanpeki de sugaritakute
demo sore sura dekinakute

The coin sways, heads or tails
Things such as the rightousness you desire
are flawless, I want to cling to it
but even that I can not do

白い夢の その奥に
隠れている 黒い夢
それを罪と呼ぶのなら
僕ら裁かれてかまわない

shiroi yume no sono oku ni
kakureiteiru kuroi yume
sore o tsumi to yobu no nara
bokura sabakarete kamawanai

Deep within the clear white dream
a dark black dream is hidden inside
If that’s what they call a sin
it won’t matter if we get judged

望んだだけ 捨てただけの
僕らだけの言葉なんて
幻で 何も無くて
でもそれでも信じてる

nozonda dake suteta dake no
bokura dake no kotoba nante
maboroshi de nani mo nakute
demo sore demo shinjiteru

We only wished for, we only threw away
things such as our words and ours alone
As just illusions, they’re nothing, empty
But even so I still have faith

白い夢が 終わるなら
黒い夢が 終わるなら
それを愛と呼ぶのなら
僕ら裁かれてかまわない

shiroi yume ga owaru nara
kuroi yume ga owaru nara
sore o ai to yobu no nara
bokura sabakarete kamawanai

If the clear white dream comes to an end
If the dark black dream comes to an end
If that’s what they call love
it won’t matter if we get judged

Last Remote~Blaze mix

The original version of the Blaze+ mix. I can’t seem to find any video for it though, it’s a pretty old song after all. There’s not too much difference from the original, so when asked if I was planning on putting up this one, I decided I might as well.

これが最後の願い それすら夢に消えて
閉じてゆく瞳と恋の終わり際
思いを馳せた遠い永久の国を

kore ga saigo no negai sore sura yume ni kiete
tojite yuku hitomi to koi no owari giwa
omoi o haseta tooi towa no kuni o

This is it, the final wish, and even that will fade into dreams
On the final moment of sealing off her eye and love
she thought about the far off land of eternity

どこか虚ろな身体は 儚いまでの現
離れ行く過去に流してきた涙
待ち焦がれてた幻想に抱かれて

doko ka utsuro na karada wa hakanai made no utsutsu
hanare yuku kako ni nagashite kita namida
machi kogareteta gensou ni dakarete

Somewhere, that empty body, until reality was fleeting
shed away tears to the past she was separating from
and she’s embraced by the fantasies she long yearned for

いつまでも これからも 地の底で 夢現
忘らるる かの者が 待ち望む 旅の終わり

itsu made mo kore kara mo chi no soko de yume utsutsu
wasuraruru kano mono ga machi nozomu tabi no owari

For eternity, from here on out, deep within the earth, between dreams and reality
forgotten, that person, eagerly awaits, the journey’s end

今はただ一時素敵な時間 この明るい闇の底で見させて
誰も来る事無い無限の淵で ああ 少女が一人詠う

ima wa tada hitotoki suteki na jikan kono akarui yami no soko de misasete
dare mo kuru koto nai mugen no fuchi de aa shoujo ga hitori utau

The present is merely a single lovely moment of time, let me look from the bottom of this bright darkness
Without anyone to come, in the endless abyss, ah, the girl sings, alone

ユメもウツツも幻でさえ この輝く闇の奥に見つけた
誰も来る事無い無限の淵に ああ 少女が一人消える

yume mo utsutsu mo maboroshi de sae kono kagayaku yami no oku ni mitsuketa
dare mo kuru koto nai mugen no fuchi ni aa shoujo ga hitori kieru

Dreams and reality, and even illusions too, in the depths of this shining darkness, she found
Without anyone to come, to the endless abyss, ah, the girl vanishes, alone

Lemures Prelude

Requested by Flaemes, and as for the title of the song:

Notes: While 「はち切れそうな気持ちが溢れそう」 would translate more literally to “Feelings that seem like they’ll burst seem like they’ll overflow,” that sentence sounds really sloppy in English, so I figured the translation I have in place now sounds better while retaining most of the meaning.

朝早く目覚めて 読みかけの本閉じて
昨日から始めた 書き損ねた日記帳
窓開けて差し込む 太陽に手を振って

asa hayaku mezamete yomi kake no hon tojite
kinou kara hajimeta kaki sokoneta nikkichou
mado akete sashikomu taiyou ni te o futte

I wake up early in the morning, and close the book I began to read
The diary I started yesterday, I missed my chance to write
I open the window and wave my hand to the sun that shines in

ありふれた日常のプレリュード

arifureta nichijou no pureryuudo

This is the prelude of just an ordinary day

それはとても素敵な誰も知らない事
だから好きだよ プリズム透かした様で

sore wa totemo suteki na dare mo shiranai koto
dakara suki da yo purizumu sukashita you de

It’s something very lovely that nobody knows about
That’s why I love it, it’s like a prism held to light

あれもこれもポケットに詰め込んで
はち切れそうな気持ちが溢れそう

are mo kore mo poketto ni tsume konde
hachi kiresou na kimochi ga afuresou

This and that too, I stuff into my pocket
It feels as if my feelings are filled to the point of being about to overflow

夢見心地な花に名前つけて
誰より早く私に届けて

yumemi gokochi na hana ni namae tsukete
dare yori hayaku watashi ni todokete

I give a name to a dreamy flower
It won’t reach anyone faster than me

空に舞う鳥の様に素直になる
水を漂う魚の様に綺麗で永久へ

sora ni mau tori no you ni sunao ni naru
mizu o tadayou no you ni kirei de towa e

I’ll be honest just like birds fluttering in the sky
Just like fish drifting through water, towards eternity with grace

Last Remote~Blaze+ mix

Requested by Nemeios. Hmm, we have two different characters in these lyrics, “the girl” and “I”. I imagine this is another take on Satori and the whole Koishi eye closure thing. It’s funny, this is apparently Sanae’s theme for a Touhoumon game, but I can’t imagine these lyrics talking about her at all.

Dreams and reality, and even illusions too, in the midst of this closed world, she found
Without anyone to come, to the endless abyss, ah, the girl vanishes, alone

いつか囁いた言葉 風の辿り着く場所へ
離れ行く日々はどこまでも優しく
残酷なほど全て受け入れた

itsu ka sasayaita kotoba kaze no tadori tsuku basho e
hanare yuku hibi wa doko made mo yasashiku
zankoku na hodo subete uke ireta

Words that were whispered one day, go towards the place where wind struggles to reach
With a thorough affection to the point of cruelty
she accepted it all, these days of drifting away

開く扉の向こうは 私には眩しすぎて
振り返る 過去に置いて来た居場所に
今更戻る事など出来ないの

hiraku tobira no mukou wa watashi ni wa mabushi sugite
furi kaeru kako ni oite kita ibasho ni
ima sara modoru koto nado dekinai no

Beyond the open door, is way too bright for me
I look back, to where I belonged that I left behind in the past
After all this time, there’s no going back anymore

手を伸ばし 流されて 空の上 夢現
祀らるる かの者が 待ち望む 旅の終わり

te o nobashi nagasarete sora no ue yume utsutsu
matsuraruru kano mono ga machi nozomu tabi no owari

Reaching out my hand, being washed away, up in the clouds, between dreams and reality
enshrined, that person, eagerly awaits, the journey’s end

今はただ一時素敵な時間 この吹き荒ぶ風の中見させて
誰も来る事無い無限の淵で ああ 少女が一人詠う

ima wa tada hitotoki suteki na jikan kono fuki susabu kaze no naka misasete
dare mo kuru koto nai mugen no fuchi de aa shoujo ga hitori utau

The present is merely a single lovely moment of time, let me look from within this raging wind
Without anyone to come, in the endless abyss, ah, the girl sings alone

ユメもウツツも幻でさえ この閉ざした世界の中 見つけた
誰も来る事無い無限の淵に ああ 少女が一人消える

yume mo utsutsu mo maboroshi de sae kono tozashita sekai no naka mitsuketa
dare mo kuru koto nai mugen no fuchi ni aa shoujo ga hitori kieru

Dreams and reality, and even illusions too, in the midst of this closed world, she found
Without anyone to come, to the endless abyss, ah, the girl vanishes alone
