This was a cute one! I was tied between doing this song, or the Mamizou or Nitori ones today. Taking requests really is a great way to discover new music. Appears there’s no video on youtube for this song either, I know what I’ll be working on tonight or tomorrow.

桜色の春風に乗せて
きっと ずっと 待ち続けて
sakura iro no haru kaze ni nosete
kitto zutto machi tsudzukete
Sending out on a pink spring breeze surely, always, I’ll keep on waiting
曇り空を見上げて ふいに
キミの横顔がよぎった そんな日
kumori zora o mi agete fui ni
kimi no yokogao ga yogitta sonna hi
On that day, when I looked to the cloudy sky suddenly, your face passed by me
通り雨 傘広げ 影落ちて
踊る雨露 跳ねるリズムがやさしいの
tooriame kasa hiroge kage ochite
odoru amatsuyu haneru rizumu ga yasashii no
The rain showered, umbrellas opened, and their shadows fell It’s easy to jump to the rhythm of the dancing rain
雨が音色奏でるアンブレラ
私一人だけのために
ame ga neiro kanaderu anburera
watashi hitori dake no tame ni
The rain makes a performance on my umbrella for my sake, and mine alone
やがて空は晴れ渡り
春の空に虹を架けてよ さあ
yagate sora wa hare watari
haru no sora ni niji o kakete yo saa
Before long, the skies clear up and a rainbow is formed in the spring sky, see
水溜りに映った顔は
そっと ゆらゆらと揺れてる キラキラ
mizutamari ni utsutta kao wa
sotto yurayura to yureteru kirakira
My face reflected in the puddle gently sways from side to side, sparkling
春の雨通り過ぎ 陽が射して
やわらかな風 季節の息吹 感じるの
haru no ame toori sugi hi ga sashite
yawaraka na kaze kisetsu no ibuki kanjiru no
After the spring rain passes, the sun shines I can feel the breath of the season, a soft wind
光浴びて うららかな弥生
そっと この想いに重ね
hikari abite uraraka na yayoi
sotto kono omoi ni kasane
Bathing in the light – It’s a beautiful March Quietly, adding to my feelings
春の香り 風に乗せて届け
いつか キミに伝わるまで
haru no kaori kaze ni nosete todoke
itsuka kimi ni tsutawaru made
I’ll send a scent of spring riding on the wind until someday it’s flown to you
重なった丸い影 並んでる
ホントはひとつ それが良いよねアンブレラ
kasanatta marui kage naranderu
honto wa hitotsu sore ga ii yo ne anburera
Alongside piles of other round shadows only one is real, that’s fine isn’t it? One umbrella
haru no kaze ga atarashii de ai yokan sasete
kazamidori wa kimi no hou ni muiteru no wakaru
kitto zutto kore kara mo ne
The spring wind gives me a hunch that I’ll meet new people The rooster on the weather vane is facing you, don’t you know? Surely, from here on out and forever
Or it could be pronounced houmatsu. Requested by Maria. I like IZNA’s lyrics, they tend to flow rather well.
This one’s about someone who seems to be deserted. What could the “Vaguely I continue to show off” and “Somehow, oh would you please display this body of mine, even if I sigh, even if I sigh, so that I won’t be rewarded again” mean, I wonder? The first idea I get from this song is one of a stripper, but hey, it’s all up for your own interpretation.

kono mi o hiki saite
abaretemo, mogaitemo

oto o tatete
inochi wa kuzure ochi
omae sae inakereba
ii kikase, a yamete
Somebody, oh would you please tear this body of mine to shreds even if I fight back, even if I struggle so that I can’t run away I make a sound “My life is falling apart” As long as I don’t have you I’m warning you, ah, give it up
群れを成す 背中が嫌い
彼の色まで淡く見える
飛ぶ鳥 葯を担え
あの人まで運んでおくれ
mure o nasu senaka ga kirai
kano iro made awaku mieru
tobu tori yaku o ninae
ano hito made hakondeokure
I hate it when people turn their backs and form groups I can faintly see that far colour of his The flying birds carry pollen spreading it as far as that person
曖昧に振り回し続け
揺れるあんた方何処さ
生まれたからには
咲いて朽ち果てるの
aimai ni furi mawashi tsuzuke
yureru anta gata doko sa

Vaguely I continue to show off Where have you all swayed off to? Now that we’ve been born we must bloom, then rot and decay
nando mo onaji itami o ajiwaedo
kankaku wa taningoto
nee ima nani shiteru no?
chuu ni egaku 「watashi」 wa 「watashi」 o

No matter how many times I taste this same pain I can’t mind my own business Hey, what are you doing right now? I write it in space that “I” am “me” No matter how far, I’ll chase after you and I’ll laugh while pretending not to know
吐き捨ててまた繰り返して
色も判らなくなった
欺く群青
遠く見えて消えた
haki sutete mata kurikaeshite
iro mo wakaranaku natta
azamuku gunjou
tooku miete kieta
I spit out, and repeat it again I can’t understand what colour you even are anymore A deceiving ultramarine far away could be seen, until it disappeared
douka onegai
kono mi o sashidashite
nageite mo nageite mo
nido to mukuwarenu you na
ato o tsukete watashi no shoumei o
sechigarai kono ukiyo
shiranu kao de warau
Somehow, oh would you please display this body of mine even if I sigh, even if I sigh so that I won’t be rewarded again I leave behind my tracks as proof I was here It’s a tough life, this transient life and I’ll laugh while pretending not to know
Requested by my friend, Num. I normally don’t do longer works like this, or non-lyric translations, but this is a special occasion. Plus, I didn’t think it’d take so long ;_; No romaji this time, my hands hurt. It was really fun though, and nice to get a break from ambiguous lyrics, for something so straightfoward and easy.
Request Specifications:
-To keep big brother as onii-chan
-To keep Rina speaking in 3rd person when applicable
Good morning onii-chan! It’s morning, wake up.
Wake up, give Rina some company.
……Uhn, if you keep sleeping like that you’ll end up
turning into a pig, so hurry and wake up.
If you don’t wake up, Rina will die of boredom.
Talking together with Onii-chan, being next to Onii-chan,
spending the same time with Onii-chan.
Don’t you think that’s really great?
So wake up and keep Rina company……
Agh, Onii-chan! How long are you gonna oversleep?
Over and over I’ve called out to wake you up but
you won’t wake up, it’s weird.
What is this, “I don’t care what happens to Rina” now?
It’s your fault for not waking up, ok.
Rina’s not the one to blame, ok.
Ehehe……In that case, paardon me!
Fua…… Onii-chan’s futon is warm.
It’s warm, and it smells really nice.
It’s Onii-chan’s scent. Just by sniffing my head gets dizzy,
being filled up with his scent.
Being in his futon is somewhat like, as if Onii-chan
was hugging me, that kind of feeling.
Onii-chan’s scent is wrapped around my whole body, so
it really feels as if Onii-chan’s holding me close.
Ehe, ah…… Onii-chan’s arm.
Could I maybe… use his arm as a pillow?
Onii-chan’s arm pillow…… Ehehe, it’s a little ruged but,
it really feels nice.
I almost feel like I could fall asleep like this,
it feels so nice. But but, I can’t do that.
莉奈はお兄ちゃんを起こしにきたんだから
莉奈も一緒になって寝たらダメだよね。
Rina came to wake up Onii-chan so,
Rina can’t come and fall asleep with him.
Onii-chan’s ears huh…… I wonder if I should I nibble on them.
He’s sleeping this soundly, so it’s alright, isn’t it?
He won’t find out if I nibble his ear a little, right?
Ehehe…… I’ll end up eating Onii-chan.
Not like I’m actually going to eat him, but
I can savor the taste of his ears.
Onii-chan’s ears are… what kind of flavour?
美味しいのは間違いないよね。
だって、お兄ちゃんの耳だもんね。
It’s no mistake they’re delicious.
After all, they’re Onii-chan’s ears.
In that case, Onii-chan, let me nibble on your ears
just a little… Ammph
mmm, mmph, ah… Ahaha, every time I nibble his ears,
Onii-chan’s body twitches.
莉奈に耳をハムハムされて気持ちよかったのかな?
えへへ、そうだったら凄く嬉しいだ
Did it feel good having your ears nibbled on by Rina?
Ehehe, if it does, I’ll be really happy.
I want to enjoy Onii-chan’s ears a little bit more, but
if I do it too much he’ll end up waking up.
I want Onii-chan to wake up right away, but
if he wakes up to me biting his ears he’ll be bothered.
I don’t think it’s a problem, but
I don’t want to be hated by Onii-chan after all.
So I guess it’s about time I should stop
having my fill of Onii-chan.
Onii-chan, wake up.
If you don’t wake up, your breakfast is gonna get cold.
And then, after you wake up, won’t you play together with Rina?
Today, just for today, you’re supposed to spend time together with Rina.
Ah, Onii-chan, you finally woke up.
I’ve been trying to wake you up the whole time just now but you wouldn’t budge.
Because you didn’t wake up,
your long awaited breakfast is cold.
Even calling out to you you wouldn’t wake up, so
I thought “Lets wake up him up directly from inside the futon.”
So it’s your fault, ok?
The truth is, Rina wants to hear an appology, but
on special occasion I’ll forgive you.
But, for compensation you’ve gotta spend the whole
day together with Rina, ok.
There’s not anything I really want to do in particular.
Just letting me stay by your side is enough, alright?
Hear out that much of my selfishness, ok?
Come, Onii-chan. Go ahead and eat your breakfast.
It’s a little cold, but it’s alright.
It’ll be fine if you warm it up, and above all, when I eat with Onii-chan
no matter what I eat, it tastes great after all.
What do you think, Onii-chan?
Do you think meals eaten together with Rina are tasty?
Do you think it tastes better than eating with anyone else?
Rina thinks so. I just said it, but
food eaten together with Onii-chan taste the best.
No matter how bad the cooking, as long as Onii-chan’s here,
it’ll turn out to taste great.
Do you think the same thing about Rina, Onii-chan?
Do you have the same feelings as you eat with Rina?
もし莉奈と同じ考えだったら嬉しいな。凄く嬉しい。
If you think the same thing as Rina, I’ll be happy. Really happy.
でも、もし……もし違うのならそれは―凄く悲しいし、
絶対に許せないと思う。
But, if…… if you don’t, then – I’ll be very sad,
I think that’s absolutely unforgivable.
Ah…… Will you forgive me?
Will you forgive this no good little sister of yours?
Ehehe…… Thanks Onii-chan.
I’m glad to be Onii-chan’s little sister after all.
Hey, Onii-chan. What’s Onii-chan going to do after this?
As for Rina, I want to be with you…… I was thinking, but
is that no good?
I won’t say anything selfish like wanting to play together,
at most I want to be with you.
いい、かな?絶対にお兄ちゃんの邪魔だけはしないから。
Is that alright? I’ll definitely be sure not to get in your way.
……あはっ
やっぱりお兄ちゃんは優しいね。
うん、絶対に邪魔だけはしないから莉奈を傍に置いててね。
……Aha
Onii-chan’s really nice after all.
Yup, I’ll definitely be sure not to get in your way so come along beside me.
Mm…… As I thought Onii-chan’s room is the most calm.
With that, how is Onii-chan going to spend today? Studying?
Or maybe playing games?
Rina doesn’t mind either way.
…… Ah, so you’re going to watch TV.
Well, is it alright for Rina to watch too by Onii-chan’s side?
I won’t be a bother like that, will I?
Watching TV together by your side, there’s no problems with that.
Hm? “Why aren’t you watching TV and are
only looking at Onii-chan?”
Ehehe, because, rather than watch TV, watching Onii-chan
is better after all.
Ah, not that you’re making any funny faces or anything, ok?
So Onii-chan, don’t mind me and keep
watching TV alright?
Just don’t worry about Rina’s line of sight, ok?
Just keep watching TV normally,
same as usual. Same as usual…… right?
It’s not like I want to know what the contents said or anything, alright?
I’m just curious who the mail came from is all.
So I want you to tell me…… that’s fine, right?
If Onii-chan doesn’t tell me who it came from, I’ll be so curious
that I won’t be able to sleep.
Yup, I’ll get so curious that
maybe during the night I’ll secretly investigate……
Ehehe, that was a lie, ok?
I dont want to look at anyone’s cell phone without them knowing, ok?
It was just a little joke…… So you don’t have to
be so cautious.
–So, who on earth sent that mail?
It’s about time you can tell me, isn’t it?
You’ve been texting back and forth a few times for the past while,
you won’t lose anything by telling me who, don’t you think?
Be-besides, an Onii-chan’s little sister needs to properly know
about his relationships, it’s necessary to get a grasp on that, right?
So I quite want you to tell me who.
Hey, Onii-chan.
Don’t be so mean, tell me who sent the mail.
I beg you, please tell me!
If you don’t tell me, I’ll look against your will.
I don’t really want to do that kind of thing to you.
だから意地悪しないで教えて。
So don’t be so mean and tell me.
……ふーん。この人だったんだ……
お兄ちゃんこの人とメールするような仲だったんだね。
……Hmmph. So it was this person……
So Onii-chan’s sending messages between this person.
No no, I’m not mad or anything ok?
I’m just a little bit surprised. Yeah, just surprised.
I’m a bit surprised that Onii-chan has a connection with a woman.
Well, Onii-chan certainly is the coolest in the world, so
this woman could’ve came close to him against his will maybe,
but you’ve really gotta properly think about who you’re together with, you know?
お兄ちゃんの人選に問題があるだなんて言うつもりは
ないけど、その人とはさすがにどうかなって思うな。
I don’t mean to say Onii-chan’s taste in people is a problem
but, all the same, you really have to wonder about this person.
That person’s cute, and smart, and kind, a real great person.
But Rina thinks she’s no good.
That person got your phone number against your will
didn’t she?
No matter what, I’ll never speak of your number, ok?
……Eh. Sorry Onii-chan.
Rina seems to have a few errands to take care of.
I really wanted to stay by Onii-chan’s side, but
these are really important errands.
我儘ばかり言ってごめんね?
この埋め合わせは絶対にするから。
だから今は莉奈の用事を優先させてね。
Sorry for being selfish, ok?
I’ll definitely compensate you for it.
So let Rina’s errands take priority, ok.
There’s no other way for that trash woman to make up for this but to die.
She stole Rina’s precious time away, after all.
She stole Rina’s time together with Onii-chan away, after all.
It’s only natural she has to die, right?
Requested by my friend Chiss. Tegamin saves the day once again, providing the lyrics! I couldn’t find them in any album scans I had, of both the original and remixes. They seem to convey a pretty abstract message.
These lyrics should be exactly identical to the Nhato and Poplica* remixes I believe. I don’t think there’s currently any youtube videos of this original song either, so I’ll have to put one up sometime.
kotodama ni yureru akari

kumo no you ni ikiru

During a single moment of change existing just like a cloud only a faintly fragrant wind existed

The threads of the spiral are spun to create life Revolving around and around like the light of the moon The illuminated stone steps of the divine lead up and up to eternity
鮮やかに染まる水面

The vividly coloured water surface stretching far to the horizon turns back to monochrome with the single blink of an eye
限りない思考回路
繋ぐ銀の糸
奥深く続く視界 途切れたとしたら

This train of thought with no limits is connected by strings of silver What if my profoundly extending field of view were to be obstructed?

The fate of an age unable to escape the spiral’s death goes around, and around like the light of the moon Exposing the hidden, then again it disappears I must not grieve
月は 海へと帰り
海は 影にのまれて
影は 光に生まれ
光 月に映る
tsuki wa umi e to kaeri

The moon returns to the sea The sea is swallowed by the shadows The shadows are given birth by light And light is reflected by the moon

The threads of the spiral are spun to create life It revolves around and around like the light of the moon The illuminated stone steps of the divine are laid up and up to eternity
螺旋の死 免れぬ世の宿命
例え月が沈んだとしても
いずれ巡りまたこの場所へ
灯を燈すだろう
rasen no shi manugarenu yo no sadame

The fate of an age unable to escape the spiral’s death just like if the moon were to set someday once again it’ll come back around to this place It’ll light up this lamp, won’t it?
