Rebirth

Requested by my friend Chiss. Special thanks to Tegamin for transcribing the lyrics, and to Maria for sending me the scans.

“The place I’ll someday arrive at, that place people call paradise
for some reason is in the nostalgic sky,” could this possibly be refering to heaven?

数多に注ぐ 光に洗われた
何かが欠けて 閉じたこの世界で
地平に溶ける 水平のかなたを
誰かがきっと 見ていた

amata ni sosogu hikari ni arawareta
nani ka ga kakete tojita kono sekai de
chihei ni tokeru suihei no kanata wo
dare ka ga kitto miteita

I was washed by the downpour of light
Something’s missing in this closed off world
Someone has certainly been looking beyond the horizon
that melts at ground level

望んだものが 偽りだとしても
時がやがては 真実に変えるなら
意味も理由も 本当はあるのでしょう
だけど見向きもしないでしょう

nozonda mono ga itsuwari da toshite mo
toki ga yagate wa shinjitsu ni kaeru nara
imi mo riyuu mo honto wa aru no deshou
dakedo mi muki mo shinai deshou

Even if what I wished for is nothing but a lie
If in the end time turns into truth
then meaning and reason would really exist, right?
But it’ll be looked right past won’t it?

どこへ どこかへ 流れ流されて行こう
帰り支度のまま 心細い旅路
誰が 誰もが 手を振っては夢のあと
今を確かめるように

doko e doko ka e nagare nagasarete yukou
kaeri jitaku no mama kokorobosoi tabiji
dare ga dare mo ga te wo futte wa yume no ato
ima wo tashikameru you ni

To some place, to somewhere, the stream shall go and be drained
as I’m preparing to return home, it’s a lonely journey
Afterwards, after this dream, everyone will wave their hands
as if checking to make sure that they’re awake

人は楽園と呼ぶ いつか辿り着く場所は
なぜか懐かしい空で
儚げに おぼろげに どうしてそんな不安そうに
覗き込む蓮華鏡

hito wa rakuen to yobu itsuka tadori tsuku basho wa
naze ka natsukashii sora de
hakanage ni oboroge ni doushite sonna fuan sou ni
nozoki komu rengekyou

The place I’ll someday arrive at, that place people call paradise
for some reason is in the nostalgic sky
Fleetingly and vaguely, why so seeming anxiously
do I peer into the lotus mirror?

色の次には 音までなくなって
寂しさだけが 支配する世界で
明けに照らされ
それでも濁り酒は 月を映した

iro no tsugi ni wa oto made nakunatte
sabishisa dake ga shihai suru sekai de
ake ni terasare
sore demo nigorizake wa tsuki wo utsushita

The spectrum between colour and sound dies out
In a world controlled by loneliness alone
I was shined upon by the dawn
but even so my cloudy sake reflected the moon

Never wanna cry till the end of time
Never say goodbye, I’ll be there for you
Never wanna die till the end of life

近く楽園はもう 永遠じゃないと知り
静かに役を終える
たとえその日が来ても
あなたはあなたのままで 在り続けるのでしょう
故に、永遠の巫女

chikaku rakuen wa mou eien janai to shiri
shizuka ni yaku wo oeru
tatoe sono hi ga kitemo anata wa anata no mama de ari tsuzukeru no deshou
yueni, towa no miko

Knowing that the close by paradise is no longer eternal
and quietly ending your duty
for example even if that day did come
you would continue to remain the same as you are wouldn’t you?
And so, would be an eternal shrine maiden

楽園はまた 生まれ変わろうとしてる
とても懐かしい空へ
陰と陽、夢想、綺想が 終わるじゃなく繋がる
此処が夢、此処が境

rakuen wa mata umare kawarou to shiteru
totemo natsukashii sora e
in to you, musou, kisou ga owaru janaku tsunagaru
koko ga yume, koko ga sakai

Paradise tries to be reborn again
towards a very nostalgic sky
Yin and yang, dreams, and fantastic ideas are connected without an end
Here is a dream, here is a border

楽園はただ 全てを受け入れよう
忘れ去られた 全て
それは東の国の 名前のない御伽噺
遙か遠きに 失はれた幻想
続いてく

rakuen wa tada subete wo uke ireyou
wasure sarareta subete
sore wa higashi no kuni no namae no nai otogibanashi
haruka tooki ni ushinawareta gensou
tsuzuite ku

Paradise shall just accept everything
everything that was forgotten
That’s the nursery rhyme without a name from that eastern country
Far away off in the distance, the fantasies that were lost
continue on

Never wanna cry till the end of time
Never say goodbye, I’ll be there for you
Never wanna die till the end of life
Open up your eyes and you’ll see the truth

彼と彼女とわたしの話 | kare to kanojo to watashi no hanashi | The Story of Him, Her and Me

Requested by Primity, my first Shibayan song. If anyone was actually watching my twitter, you’d see I had a real fun time with this one. The tune of this song resembled Mario Kart in my opinion.

Notes: “Don’t try dodge around the invisible wall or anything” means “Don’t run away from the issue,” or “Don’t beat around the bush” for other wording, in case it seemed vague. Also, I’d like to imagine the girl waiting on the street is the speaker looking in through the window, at the couple.

If you were to ask about my interpretation of this song, it’s about a woman sitting around telling a story about a girl with a boyfriend (or maybe they were more than that?) in a relationship with no love. She tried to engage him but “He’s inside the fog loitering all alone” indicates that he’s detached. One day, he falls for another woman, and the speaker is like “Oh well, I can still see him anytime,” but she has to witness the couple do lover’s things.  In the end, the woman closes the storybook without finishing, and tells her audiences not to peek until she comes back.

こっち向いてねえ話を聞いて
見えない壁越しにごまかしたりしないで
あちらこちら目移りしてる
キャンディばかり舐めないで

kocchi muite nee hanashi o kiite
mienai kabe goshi ni gomakashitari shinai de
achira kochira meutsuri shiteru
kyandi bakari namenai de

Look over here – hey, listen to my story
Stop acting like you’re behind an invisible wall
Your eyes are darting all over the place
Do something besides just licking your candy

古いアパルトマン
熱い焼きたてパン
齧る彼の頬と
壁にかかる時計
指し示した予定
待ちわびてる女性
曇りガラス越しに
煙るレンガ道

furui aparutoman
atsui yakitate pan
kajiru kare no hoho to
kabe ni kakaru tokei
sashi shimeshita yotei
machiwabiteru josei
kumori garasu goshi ni
kemuru renga michi

In an old apartment
Hot, freshly baked bread
His cheeks as he munches
and a clock hung up on the wall
Plans were indicated
A woman tired of waiting
Beyond the foggy glass
a hazy brick road

甘い言葉胸焼けしそうよ
笑顔も憂鬱も手のひらで転がして
眼鏡の奥 きれいに隠した
ひと匙の嘘はどこ?

amai kotoba muneyake shisou yo
egao mo yuutsu mo te no hira de korogashite
megane no oku kirei ni kakushita
hitosaji no uso wa doko?

Sugar coated words make me feel heartburn
Rolling smiles and gloom around in the palm of your hand
Hidden neatly behind your glasses,
where is that spoonful of lies?

寂しがりなの知ってるのよ
わたしを愛してよ甘えさせてあげるわ
なんて呟いても 彼は霧のなか
ひとりで佇んでいるの

samishigari nano shitteru no yo
watashi o ai shite yo amaesasete ageru wa
nante tsubuyaitemo kare wa kiri no naka
hitori de tatazundeiru no

I know you feel lonely
“Love me, I’ll spoil you”
Whisper such as I may, he’s inside a cloud of fog
standing still all alone

地下鉄乗り継いで
バスは橋を渡る
鳥は餌をつまみ
彼はキスをつまむ
耳をくすぐる指
街は歌うメロディ
tu, tu, lu…

chikatetsu nori tsuide
basu wa hashi o wataru
tori wa esa o tsumami
kare wa kisu o tsumamu
mimi o kusuguru yubi
machi wa utau merodi
tu, tu, lu…

After getting off the subway
his bus crosses a bridge
The birds peck at their feed
He gives a peck on the lips
Fingers tickle the other’s ear
The melody the town sings
tu, tu, lu…

恋の終わりは突然なの
ある晩訪れた坂の上のカフェーで
歌の上手な看板娘
ついに彼は射抜かれた

koi no owari wa totsuzen nano
aru ban otozureta saka no ue no kafee de
uta no jouzu na kanban musume
tsui ni kare wa inukareta

The end of love is a sudden thing
Atop a hill, at a cafe he visited one evening
was their poster girl singing wonderfully
At last, he was love-struck

流れる文字はわたしの恋
掠れたインクから溢れ出していくのよ
神様の決めた終わりでも
いつだって会えるもの

nagareru moji wa watashi no koi
kasureta inku kara afure dashite yuku no yo
kamisama no kimeta owari demo
itsudatte aeru mono

The letters flowing on the page are my love
It’s pouring out from the blurry ink
Even if this ending is part of God’s plan,
I’ll always be able to see him

彼と彼女の甘いキス
見つめるわたし
踊る恋人包みこむ
幸せばかり
祝福の鐘鳴り響く
街の教会
tu, tu, lu…

kare to kanojo no amai kisu
mitsumeru watashi
odoru koibito tsutsumi komu
shiawase bakari
shukufuku no kane nari hibiku
machi no kyoukai
tu, tu, lu…

His and her sweet kiss
and me gazing at them
Encompassing the dancing lovers
is nothing but happiness
The blessed bells chime
in the town’s church
tu, tu, lu…

古いアパルトマン
熱い焼きたてパン
齧る彼の頬と
壁にかかる時計
指し示した予定
彼女の淹れた珈琲
曇りガラス越しに
煙るレンガ道
tu, tu, lu…

furui aparutoman
atsui yakitate pan
kajiru kare no hoho to
kabe ni kakaru tokei
sashi shimeshita yotei
kanojo no ireta koohii
kumori garasu goshi ni
kemuru renga michi
tu, tu, lu…

In an old apartment
Hot, freshly baked bread
His cheeks as he munches
and a clock hung up on the wall
Plans were indicated
Coffee she had brewed
Beyond the foggy glass
a smoky brick road
tu, tu, lu…

皮の表紙閉じて
明日は別の街へ
フィナーレは見ないで
部屋の隅へ隠す
時を止めて眠る
恋人のアムール
薔薇の栞あげる
戻るまで待ってて

kawa no hyoushi tojite
asu wa betsu no machi e
finaare wa minai de
heya no sumi e kakusu
toki o tomete nemuru
koibito no amuuru
bara no shiori ageru
modoru made mattete

Closing the leather cover,
tomorrow I’m off to another town
Don’t look at the finale
I’ll hide it in the corner of the room
Time stops as I sleep
The lover’s amour
I’ll give you a rose bookmark
Keep waiting until I return

遠い 夕べの 追憶への旅路の
寂しげに 消えて行く その景色 甘い嘘
一握の 願いまで 崩れて また

tooi yuube no tsuioku e no tabiji no
samishige ni kiete yuku sono keshiki amai uso
ichiaku no negai made kuzurete mata

That lonelily disappearing scenery of a journey
leading towards reminiscence of a far night was a sweet lie

It’ll crumble again, until only a handful of wishes are left

君が教えてくれた 美しい希望の色さえも
いつかは 幻に映る

kimi ga oshiete kureta utsukushii kibou no iro sae mo
itsuka wa maboroshi ni utsuru

Even the beautiful colour of hope that you taught me about
will someday be displayed as an illusion

ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
ゆらゆら 流れていく 光
ま だ I was floating in the virtual reality
偽り 続けてる 世界に
ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
物言わぬ 想いは 君の
ま だ I was crying in the virtual reality
瞳に 映りこんでいる

hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
yurayura nagerete iku hikari
mada I was floating in the virtual reality
itsuwari tsudzuketeru sekai ni
hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
mono iwanu omoi wa kimi no
mada I was crying in the virtual reality
hitomi ni utsuri kondeiru

Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
light that streams flickering back and forth
Again, I was floating in the virtual reality
in a world that continues to deceive
Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
The thoughts that I’m too shy to speak
Again, I was crying in the virtual reality
are taken in by your eyes

追い かけていた 郷愁への光を
寂しげに 弄び 語る差異 見えぬ罠
一握の 想いまで 崩れて また

oi kaketeita kyoushuu e no hikari o
samishige ni moteasobi kataru sai mienu wana
ichiaku no omoi made kuzurete mata

That difference of talking and lonelily playing with
the light leading towards nostalgia that I pursued was an invisible trap

It’ll crumble again, until only a handful of feelings are left

君が教えてくれた あの景色は今どこにあるの
未だ 応える声は無く

kimi ga oshiete kureta ano keshiki wa ima doko ni aru no
imada kotaeru koe wa naku

Where is the landscape that you taught me about now?
There still isn’t a voice to respond to me     

ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
ゆらゆら 移っていく 季節
ま だ I was floating in the virtual reality
偽り 震えてる 鼓動に
ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
何度も 呼んでは いるのに
ま だ I was crying in the virtual reality
そこには たどり着けずに

hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
yurayura utsutte iku kisetsu
mada I was floating in the virtual reality
itsuwari furueteru kodou ni
hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
nando mo yonde wa iru noni
mada I was crying in the virtual reality
soko ni wa tadori tsukezu ni

Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
seasons that slowly sway as they pass by
Again, I was floating in the virtual reality
in the pulse that trembles with lies
Look, it was from the blue sky to the ocean
even though I’ve been here callling out plentily
Again, I was crying in the virtual reality
without arriving in that place

これは現実?
(これは幻)
それでもいいよ
(それでもいいよ)
そばにいて くれるのなら

kore wa genjitsu?
(kore wa maboroshi?)
sore demo ii yo
(sore demo ii yo)
soba ni ite kureru no nara

Is this reality?
(Is this a dream?)
That’s fine anyways
(That’s fine anyways)
If you’ll stay beside me

ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
ゆらゆら 流れていく 光
ま だ I was floating in the virtual reality
偽り 続けてる 世界に
ほ ら it was from the blue sky to the ocean
物言わぬ 想いは 君の
ま だ I was crying in the virtual reality
瞳に 映りこんでいる

hora it was from the blue sky to the ocean
yurayura nagerete iku hikari
mada I was floating in the virtual reality
itsuwari tsudzuketeru sekai ni

Double Key

Alright, let me get this straight. The door swallowed the guy up and disappeared, the speaker missed his voice and tried to make an illusion, but something was missing. The door beckons her, and it seems to be implied that she fell for it and got trapped. Her heart is broken as she hears him laugh, realizing she was tricked, but she has the key. So she wants revenge, locks him in and tries to forget about her pain. What a song.

君と 僕じゃ 生きてる 時間が 違う
わかってたのに
暗い 部屋の 奥で 今も 眠る 君の歌

kimi to boku ja ikiteru jikan ga chigau
wakatteta noni
kurai heya no oku de ima mo nemuru kimi no uta

You and me live in two different times
Even though I understood that
deep within this dark room, even now I sleep to your song

君が 開けたドアは 君を 飲み込んだまま 消えた
静かな部屋じゃ 落とした涙の
雫の音さえ 響くから

kimi ga aketa doa wa kimi o nomi konda mama kieta
shizuka na heya ja otoshita namida no
shizuku no oto sae hibiku kara

The door you opened vanished as it swallowed you whole
This is a quiet room, you can tell because even
the sound of falling teardrops echo

君の声 遠い声 もう一度 聴きたくて
作り上げてた 幻
何かが足りない 何が足りない?

kimi no koe tooi koe mou ichido kikitakute
tsukuri ageteta maboroshi
nani ka ga tarinai nani ga tarinai?

That voice of yours, that far voice, I want to hear it one more time
I had constructed an illusion
but something’s missing, what’s missing?

魂の還る場所 僕が開くための鍵
君の鍵 合わせて
今 開きたくなる 終焉のドアを

tamashii no kaeru basho boku ga hiraku tame no kagi
kimi no kagi awasete
ima hirakitaku naru owari no doa o

This key was made for me to unlock the place where souls return to
At the same time, it’s the key to you
Right now, I want to open the door of demise

君と 僕じゃ 信じる 世界が 違う
わかってたのに
暗い 部屋を 照らす 今も 残る 君の歌

kimi to boku ja shinjiru sekai ga chigau
wakatteta noni
kurai heya o terasu ima mo nokoru kimi no uta

You and me both believe in different worlds
Even though I understood that
I light the dark room up, even now your song remains

君が 閉じたドアは 僕を 手招きしては 消えて
静かな部屋じゃ 失くした心の
壊れる音さえ 響くから

kimi ga tojita doa wa boku o temaneki shite wa kiete
shizuka na heya ja nakushita kokoro no
kowareru oto sae hibiku kara

The door that you closed beckons me and disappears
The room is quiet, you can tell because even
the sound of the heart I lost being broken echoes

君の声 笑い声 時間の中に 溶けて
造り上げてた 人形
何かが足りない 何が足りない?

kimi no koe waraigoe jikan no naka ni tokete
tsukuriageteta ningyou
nani ka ga tarinai nani ga tarinai?

That voice of yours, that laughing voice, melts within time
You had fabricated a doll
but something’s missing, what’s missing?

魂の帰る場所 君と開くための鍵
僕の鍵 合わせて
今 閉じ込めたいよ 君と 全てを

tamashii no kaeru basho kimi to hiraku tame no kagi
boku no kagi awasete
ima toji kometai yo kimi to subete o

This key was made for me to open the place where souls return to with you
At the same time, it’s my own key
Right now, I want to lock up you and everything else

君の声 遠い声 もう二度と 聴けなくて
慰めたはずの 心
何かが足りない 何が足りない?

kimi no koe tooi koe mou nido to kikenakute
nagusameta hazu no kokoro
nani ka ga tarinai nani ga tarinai?

That voice of yours, that far voice, I can’t hear it ever again
My heart was supposed to forget about its worries
but something’s missing, what’s missing?

魂の帰る場所 僕ら開くための鍵
ただ二人だけの秘密
隠して消えよう 終焉のドアを

tamashii no kaeru basho bokura hiraku tame no kagi
tada futari dake no himitsu
kakushite kieyou owari no doa o

This key was made for us to open the place where souls return to
It’s just our secret alone
Let’s hide the door of demise and disappear
