此処から今すぐ

koko kara ima sugu

From here, right now

ずっと見てきた 分かるよ 守るべきを
きっとそうだと心に映して

zutto mite kita wakaru yo mamoru beki o
kitto sou da to kokoro ni utsushite

I’ve always been watching, I understand, who I should protect
My certainty is reflected in my heart

言葉選びも なりふり構わず
かっこつけたいよ 何時だってほら

kotoba erabi mo narifuri kamawazu
kakko tsuketai yo itsu datte hora

Regardless of how I look or what words I choose
I want to look cool all the time, you see

蹴り付けた弱虫を
私らしく変えたい
弱さなど見せないで
強く 強く 鮮やかに

keri tsuketa yowamushi o
watashi rashiku kaetai
yowasa nado misenai de
tsuyoku tsuyoku azayaka ni

I want to change the weaklings
that I kicked aside to be more like me
Don’t show me any weakness
Be strong, be strong, and stand out

痛みなど怖くない
君が側にいるから
守るべき その側で
ずっと ずっと 何時までも

itami nado kowakunai
kimi ga soba ni iru kara
mamoru beki sono soba de
zutto zutto itsu made mo

Pain doesn’t scare me
I have you by my side after all
Next to who I must protect
forever, forever, for all time

そっと隠した言葉に意味はあるの?
すれ違う度 孤独になるから

sotto kakushita kotoba ni imi wa aru no?
sure chigau tabi kodoku ni naru kara

Is there a meaning to words quietly concealed?
Because every time we cross, I become lonely

正義の味方 憧れてたのは
守りたかった ただそれだけで

seigi no mikata akogareteta no wa
mamoritakatta tada sore dake de

The only reason I admired heroes
is because I wanted to protect you, that’s it

信じて そこから…

shinjite soko kara…

Have faith, and from there…

突き上げた拳には
願い・希望 全てを
全力で託したい
何時も側で笑ってて

tsuki ageta kobushi ni wa
negai ・kibou subete o
zenryoku de takushitai
itsu mo soba de warattete

To my upthrust fists
I want to entrust my hopes and dreams –
everything, and with all my might
Always stay smiling by my side

不器用な背中ごと
ギュッとギュッと抱き締め
二人なら出来ること
なんとなくで分かるから

bukiyou na senaka goto
gyutto gyutto daki shime
futari nara dekiru koto
nanto naku de wakaru kara

Hugging you tightly
your awkward back and all
somehow I understand
what we can do together after all

蹴り付けた弱虫を
私らしく変えたい
弱さなど見せないで
強く 強く 鮮やかに

keri tsuketa yowamushi o
watashi rashiku kaetai
yowasa nado misenai de
tsuyoku tsuyoku azayaka ni

I want to change the weaklings
that I kicked aside to be more like me
Don’t show me any weakness
Be strong, be strong, and stand out

痛みなど怖くない
君が側にいるから
守るべき その側で
ずっと ずっと 何時までも

itami nado kowakunai
kimi ga soba ni iru kara
mamoru beki sono soba de
zutto zutto itsu made mo

Pain doesn’t scare me
I have you by my side after all
Next to who I must protect
forever, forever, for all time

砂上のFILTER | Sand-Foundation FILTER

Requested by SumireArche, these lyrics are somewhat cryptic.

Usually Kaito’s lyrics are more straightforward, but I have no idea what a filter atop sand could mean.

雨 切なさを連れてsweetie 包み込まれて
瞳に宿す情念に雪 花のように舞う

ame setsunasa o tsurete sweetie tsutsumi komarete
me ni yadosu jounen ni yuki hana no you ni mau

With the rain bringing heartbreak, sweetie, I’m being wrapped up
There’s snow in the passion my eyes keep, dancing like flowers

目隠しで探したアテもないままで
忍び寄るその足音 鼓動高鳴る
思うまま枠に嵌めて 初めて目が合う
この感じ忘れられず君を求めた

mekakushi de sagashita ate mo nai mama de
shinobi yoru sono ashioto kodou takanaru
omou mama waku ni hamete hajimete me ga au
kono kanji wasurerarezu kimi o motometa

As I searched blindfolded without purpose,
your footsteps sneek close, my heart throbs
Filling the framework as desired, for the first time, our eyes meet
Unable to forget this feeling, I sought you

遠くもっと遠く せせらぐ風のよう
この空に咲いた一輪の花
水面ユラユラと揺るぎない強さを魅せたのは
砂上のFILTER

tooku motto tooku seseragu kaze no you
kono sora ni saita ichirin no hana
minamo yura yura to yurugi nai tsuyosa o miseta no wa
sajou no FILTER

Far, even further, like the whistling wind
goes a single flower that bloomed in this sky
What bewitched the unwavering strength of the water’s surface was
a sand-foundation FILTER

輝き見つけ出した そっと秘めた想い
陽のあたる幻想を二人で歩くように

kagayaki mitsuke dashita sotto hisometa omoi
hi no ataru omoide o futari de aruku you ni

I found a shine, secretly hidden feelings
so we could walk through fantastic sun-lit memories together

無意識に避けてた言葉に触れたら
目を覚ます心が今映すのは誰?

muishiki ni saketeta kotoba ni furetara
me o samasu kokoro ga ima utsusu no wa dare?

When I touch upon the words I had unconsciously avoided
who will my awakening heart now reflect?

綺麗な青空 虹を纏うように
鮮明に煌き手繰り寄せて
滴る言葉を繋いで渡るよに
視えずとも信じることが出来た

kirei na aozora niji o matou you ni
senmei ni kirameki taguri yosete
shitataru kotoba o tsunaide wataru yo ni
miezu to mo shinjiru koto ga dekita

The pretty blue sky, looking clad in rainbows
vividly glitters and hauls me in
In order to connect trickling words and cross,
I’ve managed to believe, even I can’t see

不思議な感覚 奇跡を望むなら引き寄せて
夢に魔法をかけて
初めて出会ったあの時からずっと胸の奥
砂上のFILTER

fushigi na kankaku kiseki o nozomu nara hiki yosete
yume ni mahou o kakete
hajimete deatta ano toki kara zutto mune no oku
sajou no FILTER

If you desire a miracle or a mysterious sensation, pull one in
Cast magic on your dreams
Ever since we first met, forever in my heart
a sand-foundation FILTER

ラストフレーズ | Last Phrase

Really been enjoying this song, though the whole album is pretty solid. Best vocal performance I’ve heard from Mamemi yet, for sure.

Notes: Usually it’s supposed to be だから when following a noun, but in some stanzas here it’s just から, which would normally mean “through,” “from,” etc when used like that. This hardly fits the context, so I took it to mean だから anyways.

あの歌の続き 聴かせて欲しいよ
不自由な言葉じゃ 紡げやしない
キミだけの歌を世界にヒビカセ
変わらないで欲しい 願いは夜空溶けてく

ano uta no tsudzuki kikasete hoshii yo
fujiyuu na kotoba ja tsumuge ya shinai
kimi dake no uta o sekai ni hibikase
kawaranai de hoshii negai wa yozora tokete ku

I want you to let me listen to the rest of your song
You can’t weave anything with words that aren’t free
Make your song alone resonate throughout the world
I never want it to change, my wish fades into the night sky

幾つ夜を越えて辿り着ける?
イメージだけが巡るだけ
私の願い ただ一つで
まだ届かない夢の中

ikutsu yoru o koete tadori tsukeru?
imeeji dake ga meguru dake
watashi no negai tada hitotsu de
mada todokanai yume no naka

How many nights will it take to make it and reach?
Your image alone just revolves around my head
I only have but a single wish
It still won’t reach, lost in a dream

ココロ奥まで ah…
リフレインしてるキミのフレーズから

kokoro oku made ah…
rifurein shiteru kimi no fureezu kara

To the depths of my heart ah…
Refraining, it’s your phrase after all

あの歌の続き 聴かせて欲しいよ
思い出せないまま 時は流れて
変わりゆく夜に 私とキミだけ
あともう一度だけ 二人で過ごした時を

ano uta no tsudzuki kikasete hoshii yo
omoi dasenai mama toki wa nagarete
kawari yuku yoru ni watashi to kimi dake
ato mou ichido dake futari de sugoshita toki o

I want you to let me listen to the rest of your song
As I remain unable to recall it, time just drains away
In the everchanging night, it was you and I alone
Just one more time, I want that time we spent together

永遠に紡げるなら 幸せだと
哀しげな瞳でキミは言う
その意味がまだ分からぬまま
闇の奥へと消えてゆく

towa ni tsumugeru nara shiawase da to
kanashige na me de kimi wa iu
sono imi ga mada wakaranu mama
yami no oku e to kiete yuku

If I weave could forever, that’d be bliss
you say with eyes full of anguish
I still remain clueless what you meant
disappearing into the abyss of night

二人寄り添う ah…
終わらない歌がキミのメロディから

futari yori sou ah…
owaranai uta ga kimi no merodi kara

You and I grow close ah…
The unending song is your melody after all

拙い歌でもキミだけの歌で
不器用な想いが見つめ合ってる
触れ合うことさえ許されなくても
ただ側にいたくて キミを一人にしないよ

tsutanai uta demo kimi dake no uta de
bukiyou na omoi ga mitsume atteru
fure au koto sae yurusarenakutemo
tada soba ni itakute kimi o hitori ni shinai yo

Even if it’s a shabby song, because it’s yours alone
awkward feelings are looking at each other head-on
Even if it’s forbidden to even feel each other
I just want to be by your side, I won’t leave you all alone

あの歌の続き 聴かせて欲しいよ
不自由な言葉じゃ 紡げやしない
キミだけの歌を世界にヒビカセ
変わらないで欲しい 願いは夜空溶けてく

ano uta no tsudzuki kikasete hoshii yo
fujiyuu na kotoba ja tsumuge ya shinai
kimi dake no uta o sekai ni hibikase
kawaranai de hoshii negai wa yozora tokete ku

I want you to let me listen to the rest of your song
You can’t weave anything with words that aren’t free
Make your song alone resonate throughout the world
I never want it to change, my wish fades into the night sky

Definitely enjoying this album, especially Missing Moon, ヒトリキリノセカイ, and Lies in the mirror. Decided to translate this one because it was so short, couldn’t resist. Also, being sick isn’t fun.

空を見上げ 君を想う
星が瞬く こんな夜には
何時か二人 巡り逢える
ずっと信じて 旅は続くよ

sora o mi age kimi o omou
hoshi ga matataku konna yoru ni wa
itsu ka futari meguri aeru
zutto shinjite tabi wa tsudzuku yo

Looking up to the sky, I think about you
The stars twinkle on nights like these
Someday we’ll be able to see each other
Forever believing so, the journey continues

目指した 夢を叶えたくて
目を閉じ もう一度だけ願うよ
描いた 君と世界の果て
進むよ また逢えると信じてる

mezashita yume o kanaetakute
me o toji mou ichido dake negau yo
egaita kimi to sekai no hate
susumu yo mata aeru to shinjiteru

Wanting to make my dream come true
just once more, I’ll close my eyes and wish
I pictured you and the end of the world
I’ll advance, believing we can meet again

朝が来れば 鳥が歌う
一人佇む 水面揺らして
もう少しで夢の続き
きっと見れると思い続けて

asa ga kureba tori ga utau
hitori tatazumu minomo yurashite
mou sukoshi de yume no tsudzuki
kitto mireru to omoi tsudzukete

When morning comes, the birds will sing
Disturbing the water’s surface, I stand still all alone
I continue to think “just a bit more
and I’m sure I’ll be able to see the fruits of my dreams”

目指した 君が待つ場所へと
響いた想 二人を繋いでる
描いた 理想のその先へ
二人で また歩き出せるように

mezashita kimi ga matsu basho e to
hibiita koe futari o tsunaideru
egaita risou no sono saki e
futari de mata aruki daseru you ni

Heading towards my goal, where you wait,
my voice and feelings echoed connecting us
Heading beyond the ideals we pictured
so that once more we can walk forth together
