Requested forever ago by Soph, and a big shout out to Tegamin for finding me the lyrics and making this possible!

This song reminds me a lot of western rock for some reason.

目覚め 咲いた時から 君の手だけ握って
答え 分からないけど 今を歩こう

mezame saita toki kara kimi no te dake nigitte
kotae wakaranai kedo ima o arukou

Ever since I woke up and bloomed, I gripped only your hand
Although I don’t know the answer, let’s walk over the present

リンクして そう 奏でれば 音は増して
遥か遠くまで 響き渡れ いつでも
タッチして そう 奏でれば 色は増して
忘れないでいて 光の弦を弾いた記憶を

rinku shite sou kanadereba oto wa mashite
haruka tooku made hibiki watare itsu demo
tacchi shite sou kanadereba iro wa mashite
wasurenai de ite hikari no gen o hajiita kioku o

Linked together, if we play like so, the sound will grow
Far out through the lands it will resound, forever
Touching, if we strum like so, the colour will grow
Don’t forget the memories of us playing this chord of light

たとえ 喧騒にまみれて 足を止めてしまって
壊れかけた時でも 今を繋ごう

tatoe kensou ni mamirete ashi o tomete shimatte
koware kaketa toki demo ima o tsunagou

Let’s say that we were overplayed by great noise, stopping us in our tracks
Even when we’re in ruin, let’s connect over the present

リンクして そう 奏でれば 音は増して
そばで輝いて 振り返らず いつでも
タッチして そう 奏でれば 色は増して
そばで囁いて 目を逸らさず このまま強く

rinku shite sou kanadereba oto wa mashite
soba de kagayaite furi kaerazu itsu demo
tacchi shite sou kanadereba iro wa mashite
soba de sasayaite me o sorasazu kono mama tsuyoku

Linked together, if we play like so, the sound will grow
Shining at my side without looking back, always
Touching, if we strum like so, the colour will grow
Whispering by my side with such a strong gaze as this

Up to where...ゆらゆらと
Up to where...君が

Up to where… yurayura to
Up to where… kimi ga

Up to where… are you swaying?
Up to where… are you?

リンクして そう 奏でれば 音は増して
遥か遠くまで 響き渡れ いつでも
タッチして そう 奏でれば 色は増して
忘れないでいて 光の弦を弾いた記憶を

rinku shite sou kanadereba oto wa mashite
haruka tooku made hibiki watare itsu demo
tacchi shite sou kanadereba iro wa mashite
wasurenai de ite hikari no gen o hajiita kioku o

Linked together, if we play like so, the sound will grow
Far out through the lands it will resound, forever
Touching, if we strum like so, the colour will grow
Don’t forget the memories of us playing this chord of light

Beautiful Dreamer

I ended up listening to this song so much in between translating it that I ended up getting sick of it ; A;

それは太陽の光で
照らすことできないもの
うずくまったままで 弱く

sore wa taiyou no hikari de
terasu koto no dekinai mono
uzumakumatta mama de yowaku

When the light of the sun shines down
that’s the one person that can not be reached
Cowering away, weakly

ある時 後ろを 振り返った時に輝く
軌跡に似た光 美しい光

aru toki ushiro o furi kaetta toki ni kagayaku
kiseki ni nita hikari utsukushii hikari

Once, when I took a look behind me, it shone
and the light looked like a path, the beautiful light did

回ってる世界に 一つずつの
喜び 哀しみがあるとして
どちらかを選べと言われても
きっとその両方を選ぶだろう

mawatteru sekai ni hitotsu zutsu no
yorokobi kanashimi ga aru toshite
dochira ka o erabe to iwaretemo
kitto sono ryouhou o erabu darou

Within this wide, always turning world
one by one we experience grief and joy
Even though I’m told to pick any of the two
I’m sure that I’ll end up picking both, you know

それで誰かに笑われても
確かな思いが 一つあればいい
この世界で君と
笑ったり 泣いたり
夢を 見られたらいい

sore de dare ka ni warawaretemo
tashika na omoi ga hitotsu areba ii
kono sekai de kimi to
warattari naitari
yume o miraretara ii

Even if someone laughed at me for that
as long as I have at least one thought I’m sure of, it’s alright
Within this world, as long as I can be along with you
laughing and crying
and dreaming it’s fine

それはあらゆる言葉でも
残すことのできないもの
縁取れないままで 淡く

sore wa arayura kotoba demo
nokosu koto no dekinai mono
fuchidorenai mama de awaku

That’s all I’ve got to say although
I’m the kind of person that can’t leave things behind
being unable to put up even a border faintly

ある時 未来に 寄り添った時に輝く
奇跡に似た光 美しい光

aru toki mirai ni yori sotta toki ni kagayaku
kiseki ni nita hikari utsukushii hikari

Some time in the future, when we’ve gotten close together, it’ll shine
a light alike a miracle, a beautiful light

回ってる世界を 照らしている
喜び 哀しみを 抱きしめて
穏やかな気持ちでいられたら
あの日の涙も 意味を持つのだろう

mawatteru sekai o terashiteiru
yorokobi kanashimi o daki shimete
odayaka na kimochi de iraretara
ano hi no namida mo imi o motsu no darou

Shining light down upon this ever turning world
embracing both pain and joy alike
As long as I can live with these calm feelings
I think I’ll be able to find meaning in those tears from that far day

それで何かを失っても
確かな思いが 一つあればいい
この世界で君と
笑ったり 泣いたり
夢を 見られたらいい
sore de nani ka o ushinattemo
tashika na omoi ga hitotsu areba ii
kono sekai de kimi to
warattari naitari
yume o miraretara ii

Even if I lose something from that
as long as I have at least one thought I’m sure of, it’s alright
Within this world, as long as I can be along with you
laughing and crying
and dreaming it’s fine

望む美しい夢 願う美しい夢
君と美しい夢 願う美しい夢

nozomu utsukushii yume negau utsukushii yume
kimi to utsukushii yume negau utsukushii yume

The lovely dream I desire, the beautiful dream that I so wish for
the lovely dream with you is the beautiful dream I wish for

回ってる世界に 一つずつの
喜び 哀しみがあるとして
どちらかを選べと言われても
きっとその両方を選ぶだろう

mawatteru sekai ni hitotsu zutsu no
yorokobi kanashimi ga aru toshite
dochira ka o erabe to iwaretemo
kitto sono ryouhou o erabu darou

Within this wide, always turning world
one by one we experience grief and joy
Even though I’m told to pick any of the two

Panoramic Spectra

Requested by Kii. This was a long one, but it sure was worth it! I’m going to be addicted to this for a long time.

A few notes: For some reason, there are a few changes between the booklet and the sung song, such as 空間 becoming 世界, and the absence of 星 in a few lines, but overall there’s not much of an impact to it.

Now, back to enjoying the music~

時空 夢 揺れる 視界
観たい 夢 その行く先
時空 夢 照らす 光
君の 夢 その行く先

jikuu yume yureru shikai
mitai yume sono yuku saki
jikuu yume terasu hikari
kimi no yume sono yuku saki

A dimensional dream, my vision shakes
A dream I’d like to observe, that’s the destination
A dimensional dream, a shining light
Your dream, that’s the destination

まだ探してる零度の先眠る
金の色を待つ星を抱いた宇宙
今でもどこかに咲いているパノラマ
今でも何かを探してる星雨の中

mada sagashiteru reido no saki nemuru
kin no iro o matsu hoshi o daita uchuu
ima demo doko ka ni saiteiru panorama
ima demo nani ka o sagashiteru ame no naka

Still I search for what rests beyond absolute zero
The cosmos embrace the star waiting for gold
Even now, somewhere a panorama is blooming
Even now, searching for something in the rain of stars

響く歌滲む視界それさえももう幻
それでも響く歌のその先の描く未来を辿る旅
広がる Panoramic Spectra

hibiku uta nijimu shikai sore sae mo mou maboroshi
sore demo hibiku uta no sono saki no egaku mirai o tadoru tabi
hirogaru Panoramic Spectra

An echoing song, or a blurry field of view, even those are now illusions
Even so I will pursue this path, a future that draws beyond an echoing song
into a vast panoramic spectra

いらないよその hesitation 壊すのは whose domination?
今速さを超えて向かう take off!
君を待つ another evolution 壊すのは systems of yourself
さあ古い記憶は捨てて move on!

iranai yo sono hesitation kowasu no wa whose domination?
ima hayasa o koete mukau take off!
kimi o matsu another evolution kowasu no wa systems of yourself
saa furui kioku wa sutete move on!

We don’t need that hesitation, what will we destroy, whose domination?
Now heading beyond the speed of light, take off!
Waiting for you, another evolution, it’ll destroy systems of yourself
Come now, throw away your old memories and move on!

揺れる その手を 重ねて (振りほどいて)
星も 涙も 並べて (何が見える)
透ける 言葉に 預けて (心の色)
声に ならない 想いを (求めている)

yureru sono te o kasanete (furi hodoite)
hoshi mo namida mo narabete (nani ga mieru)
sukeru kotoba ni azukete (kokoro no iro)
koe ni naranai omoi o (motometeiru)

Take those stirring hands and once more (shake yourself free)
Lining up the stars and tears (What do you see?)
Leaving in the care of clear words (the colour of your heart)
The feelings that you won’t put into words (seeking them)

過ぎる 景色は 七色 (眩しいのに)
小さな その手で かかげて (力になる)
君は 微かに 笑って (手を握って)
宇宙の 隙間に まぎれて (消えて行った)

sugiru keshiki wa nana iro (mabushii noni)
chiisa na sono te de kakagete (chikara ni naru)
kimi wa kasuka ni waratte (te o nigitte)
sora no sukima ni magirete (kiete itta)

The passing landscape blurs into a spectra (although it’s dazzling)
With your own small hands you raised it up (I will help you)
You just faintly smiled (Take hold of my hand)
Slipping into a slip-space rupture (we have disappeared)

軽い目眩を繰り返して眠る
暗黒の果てにある星に咲いた形
今でもどこかで泣いているジレンマ
今でも何かを求めてる星雨の中

karui memai o kurikaeshite memuri
kuro no hate ni aru hoshi ni saita katachi
ima demo doko ka de naiteiru jirenma
ima demo nani ka o motometeru ame no naka

Feeling a light dizziness again, I sleep
A shape blossomed in the star at the edge of darkness
Even now somewhere, someone’s crying in a dilemma
Even now, searching for something in the rain of stars

どうかまた同じ場所で出会えたら素敵ですね
信じて巡る宇宙のその先の遠い未来を願う旅
消える Panoramic Spectra

douka mata onaji basho de de aetara suteki desu ne
shinjite meguru uchuu no sono saki no tooi mirai o negau tabi
kieru Panoramic Spectra

Wouldn’t it be great if we could somehow meet again at the same place as before?
With faith, it’s a journey of wishing for a far future beyond the revolving universe
It disappears, the Panoramic Spectra

始めようさあ levitation Yes, I can be your true navigator
今弱さを超えて光る take off!
見えるはず another dimension 壊すのは systems of your life
さあこのままどこまででも move on!

hajimeyou saa levitation Yes, I can be your true navigator
ima yowasa o koete hikaru take off!
mieru hazu another dimension kowasu no wa systems of your life
saa kono mama doko made demo move on!

Come on let’s start the levitation. Yes, I can be your true navigator
Now shining, surpassing any weakness, take off!
We should be able to see another dimension, it’ll destroy systems of your life
Come now, like this we can go anywhere, move on!

広い 空間の どこかで (君の声が)
聴こえた 座標を 探してる (波に消える)
透ける グラスに 浮かべて (心の色)
声に ならない 想いを (信じている)

hiroi sekai no doko ka de (kimi no koe ga)
kikoeta basho o sagashiteru (nami ni kieru)
sukeru gurasu ni ukabete (kokoro no iro)
koe ni naranai omoi o (shinjiteiru)

Within this vast world somewhere (your voice is)
Searching for the coordinates that were audible (vanishing into waves)
Held atop by clear glass (the colours of your heart)
The feelings that you won’t put into words (I believe in them)

刻む 景色は 七色 (眩しいのに)
胸に 刺さって 抜けずに (悲しい色)
君は 微かに 笑って (手を握って)
宇宙の 隙間に まぎれて (消えて行った)

kizamu keshiki wa nana iro (mabushii noni)
mune ni sasatte nukezu ni (kanashii iro)
kimi wa kasuka ni waratte (te o nigitte)
sora no sukima ni magirete (kiete itta)

The etching landscape blurs into spectra (although it’s dazzling)
Lodged in my chest, never to fall out (a colour of sorrow)
You just faintly smiled (Take hold of my hand)
Slipping into a slip-space rupture (we have disappeared)
