I’ve been having a lot of trouble coming up with comments on songs lately, haven’t I? I don’t really have too much to say on this one either, except that it may be my least favourite track from the album. Oh yeah, the title means “Fragments of Memories” by the way. 思い出のかけら。

また新しい春が来て
でも　風　まだ　冷たくて

mata atarashii haru ga kite
demo kaze mada tsumetakute

Again, another new spring comes
but still the wind remains freezing

広がる未来
君と僕で　紡いでく　想い出

hirogaru mirai
kimi to boku de tsumuide ku omoide

The future expands
Together, you and me, we’ll weave memories

手をつないで　明日へ祈ったら
この世界の　かけらを集めていこう
君となら　歩いていけるはずさ
手をつないで　あの日にさよなら告げるのさ

te o tsunaide ashite e inottara
kono sekai no kakera o atsumete ikou
kimi to nara aruite ikeru hazu sa
te o tsunaide ano hi ni sayonara tsugeru no sa

When we hold hands and pray towards tomorrow
lets go and gather the fragments of this world
If I’m with you, it should be easy to walk
We’ll hold hands and say goodbye to those old days

まだ咲かない花だけを
まだやまない雨だけを

mada sakanai hana dake o
mada yamanai ame dake o

It’s just the flower that still hasn’t bloomed
It’s just the rain that still hasn’t stopped

集めていたい
新しい時代の始まる　瞬間を

atsumeteitai
atarashii jidai no hajimaru shunkan o

that I want to gather up
during the moment this new era begins

手をつないで　未来へ願ったら
新しい　かけらが降り注ぐ
夜空さえ　照らしていけるはずさ
前を向いて　あの日にさよなら告げるのさ

te o tsunaide mirai e negattara
atarashii kakera ga furi sosogu
yozora sae terashite ikeru hazu sa
mae o muite ano hi ni sayonara tsugeru no sa

When we hold hands and wish towards the future
brand new fragments will downpour and rain
Even the night sky should be easy to light up
We’ll look forward and say goodbye to those old days

希望なんて無くても
僕らはまだ生きてる

kibou nante nakutemo
bokura wa mada ikiteru

Even if we lose things like our hope
you and I both will still live on

あの笑顔　もう一度

ano egao mou ichido

Show me that smile, just one more time

手をつないで　明日へ祈ったら
この世界の　かけらを集めていこう
君となら　歩いていけるはずさ
手をつないで　あの日にさよなら告げるのさ

te o tsunaide ashite e inottara
kono sekai no kakera o atsumete ikou
kimi to nara aruite ikeru hazu sa
te o tsunaide ano hi ni sayonara tsugeru no sa

When we hold hands and pray towards tomorrow
lets go and gather the fragments of this world
If I’m with you, it should be easy to walk
We’ll hold hands and say goodbye to those old days

Take it easy

You don’t really see all too many arranges of Parsee’s theme do you? They seem to be pretty rare. There’s also a rearrange of this song in the album, gold*, but it’s not as good if you ask me.

we are breakin’ all the night
もう時間みたい
we are dancin’ all the night
もう終わりみたい

we are breakin’ all the night
mou jikan mitai
we are dancin’ all the night
mou owari mitai

we are breakin’ all the night
It looks like it’s already time
we are dancin’ all the night
It looks like it’s already the end

無くすべきものはもう無くしたよ
世界は君に

nakusubeki mono wa mou nakushita yo
sekai wa kimi ni

Everything I should’ve gotten rid of is already gone
The world is in you

さようなら　この想いは
溶けてしまっても
触れ合う心が　壊れる前に

sayounara kono omoi wa
tokete shimattemo
fure au kokoro ga kowaru mae ni

Goodbye, even if these feelings
end up melting away
it’ll be before our touching hearts become broken

風は呼ぶ　あの日のイメージ
焦がさないように　諦めるように
手に余る　想い出なんて
思ってるほど　多くはなくて

kaze wa yobu ano hi no imeeji
kogasanai you ni akirameru you ni
te ni amaru omoide nante
omotteru hodo ooku wa nakute

The wind calls out the image from that day
like it won’t burn, like it’s giving up
Things like these unmanageable memories
aren’t plenty enough for me to be thinking about them

探してる　ただ探してる
出口の見えない　迷路の中で
風は問う　あの日のイメージ
焦がさないように　諦めるように

sagashiteru tada sagashiteru
deguchi no mienai meiro no naka de
kaze wa tou ano hi no imeeji
kogasanai you ni akirameru you ni

Searching around, just searching around
inside this maze where no exit can be found
The wind questions the image from that day
like it won’t burn, like it’s giving up

we are breakin’ all the night
もう時間みたい
we are dancin’ all the night
もう終わりみたい

we are breakin’ all the night
mou jikan mitai
we are dancin’ all the night
mou owari mitai

we are breakin’ all the night
It looks like it’s already time
we are dancin’ all the night
It looks like it’s already the end

願うべきものはもう無くしたよ
全ては君に

negaubeki mono wa mou nakushita yo
subete wa kimi ni

Everything I should’ve wished for is already lost
Everything is in you

さようなら　今夜ひとり
消えてしまっても
確かに心は　消えないように

sayounara konya hitori
kiete shimattemo
tashika ni kokoro wa kienai you ni

Goodbye, even if alone tonight
I end up passing away
surely it’ll be like my heart hasn’t vanished

風が歌う　あの日のフレーズ
懐かしいのに　切ない色で
僕たちは　いつだってそうで
すれ違うほど　遠く離れて

kaze ga utau ano hi no fureezu
natsukashii noni setsunai iro de
bokutachi wa itsudatte soude
surechigau hodo tooku hanarete

The wind sings the phrase from that day
though it’s very dear, it’s in a painful colour
You and I both, always together
separate to the point of missing each other

探してる　ただ探してる
答えの見えない　迷路の中で
風が歌う　あの日のフレーズ
懐かしいのに　切ない色で

sagashiteru tada sagashiteru
kotae no mienai meiro no naka de
kaze ga utau ano hi no fureezu
natsukashii noni setsunai iro de

Searching around, just searching around
inside this maze where no answer can be found
The wind sings the phrase from that day
though it’s very dear, it’s in a painful colour

we are breakin’ all the night
まだ時間じゃない
we are dancin’ all the night
まだ終わりじゃない

we are breakin’ all the night
mada jikan janai
we are dancin’ all the night
mada owari janai

we are breakin’ all the night
There’s still time
we are dancin’ all the night
It’s not the end yet

愛すべきものをもう見つけたよ
答えは君に

aisubeki mono o mou mitsuketa yo
kotae wa kimi ni

Everything I should’ve loved I’ve already found
The answer is in you

“ありがとう　君に会えて”
…飲み込んだ言葉
もう一度　会えたら
君に　伝えよう

“arigatou kimi ni aete”
…nomi konda kotoba
mou ichido aetara
kimi ni tsutaeyou

“I’m glad I was able to meet you”
…are words I swallowed down
If we can meet again one more time
I’ll try to say them

ひとつひとつが今も優しくきらめいて
私の心　あの色に染まっていく

hitotsu hitotsu ga ima mo yasashiku kirameite
watashi no kokoro ano iro ni somatte yuku

One by one, even now, they sparkle tenderly
This heart of mine will be dyed into that colour

SkyDrive!

This has to be the most grammatically clear Touhou song I’ve ever read. It’s also the only song I’ve ever heard to use polite form in the lyrics if I recall. It’s a really rare thing to see.

自分に自信が持てず
不安で悩んで迷ったり
他人の言葉に深く落ち込んだりもしたけど

jibun ni jishin ga motezu
fuan de nayande mayottari
tanin no kotoba ni fukaku ochi kondari mo shita kedo

Without having any confidence in myself
I was anxious, troubled and lost
I’ve also fell into deep depression from the words of others, however

塞ぎこむのはやめにしました
人生は短いから時間の無駄です
楽しいことを追いかけることにしました
だって私も幸せになりたいもん！

fusagi komu no wa yame ni shimashita
jinsei wa mijikai kara jikan no muda desu
tanoshii koto o oi kakeru koto ni shimashita
datte watashi mo shiawase ni naritai mon!

I decided to put an end to feeling so down
Life is too short, so that’s just a waste of time
I decided instead to chase after fun things
because after all, I want to become happy too!

見上げた大空は青く
どこまでも果てしなく
ちっぽけな私のことも認めてくれる気がして
見上げた雲は白くて
私を包む空気は
今までこぼした涙を洗い流してくれるから

mi ageta oosora wa aoku
doko made mo hateshi naku
chippoke na watashi no koto mo mitomete kureru ki ga shite
mi ageta kumo wa shirokute
watashi o tsutsumu kuuki wa
ima made koboshita namida o arai nagashite kureru kara

The great sky I looked up to is blue
stretching out with no end in sight
I get a feeling that it notices someone even as little as me
because the clouds I looked up to are white
and the air that wraps up around me
washes away all the tears I’ve shed up to now

取り柄が見つからなくて
あの子を羨んでみたり
そういうのはもう全部これからなしにしましょう？

torie ga mitsukaranakute
ano ko o urayande mitari

Unable to find any positive traits
I looked at the others with envy
Lets go without all those sorts of feelings from here on, shall we?

バカにしたりバカにされたり
そんなのは無意味なことと気づきました
俯くことはやめて前を向きました
だって私も幸せになりたいもん！

baka ni shitari baka ni saretari
sonna no wa muimi na koto to kidzukimashita
utsumuku koto wa yamete mae o mukimashita
datte watashi mo shiawase ni naritai mon!

Making an idiot of others and myself
I realized that there’s no point in things like that
I stopped looking down and began to face forward
because after all, I want to become happy too!

見上げた大空は青く
どこまでも果てしなく
辛いこと苦しいことを忘れさせてくれました
風がゆっくり吹き抜け
その優しい感触は
失った私の自信取り戻してくれました

mi ageta oosora wa aoku
doko made mo hateshi naku
tsurai koto kurushii koto o wasuresasete kuremashita
kaze ga yukkuri fuki nuke
sono yasashii kanshoku wa
ushinatta watashi no jishin tori modoshite kuremashita

The great sky I looked up to is blue
stretching out with no end in sight
letting me forget all the tough and painful times
The wind goes and peacefully blows by
and that gentle feeling it gave me
took back and returned all of the confidence I had lost

この空を高く
どこまでも果てしなく
ちっぽけな私もいつか飛べるような気がして
風がゆっくり吹き抜け
その優しい感触は
傷ついた私の背中そっと押してくれるから

kono sora o takaku
doko made mo hateshi naku
chippoke na watashi mo itsuka toberu you na ki ga shite
kaze ga yukkuri fuki nuke
sono yasashii kanshoku wa
kizutsuita watashi no senaka sotto moshite kureru kara

Far up over this sky
that stretches out with no end in sight
I get a feeling that even someone as little as me will someday be able to fly
Because the wind goes and peacefully blows by
and the gentle feeling it gives me
softly pushes me to go on when I’ve been hurt

散った　桜でさえ　今
生きる理由を問う
何もいらないからこそ　見える　君の心

Even fallen cherry blossoms now

With a heart that seems to shake to the dazzling beat

saki ga mienai kara koso odoru boku no kokoro

Even the night wind of tomorrow now
questions its reason for getting lost
Exactly because the future can’t be seen, my heart dances

君の左手に　重なる幻
哀しい事もあるけど

kimi no hidari te ni kasanaru maboroshi
kanashii koto mo aru kedo

In your left hand visions gather up
There have also been sad times too although

力強い声　明日を開く声
揺さぶり続けてよ　LEAD ME BABY

yusaburi tsudzukete yo LEAD ME BABY

With a strong voice, with a voice to open tomorrow
