Mother Nature

After hours of getting distracted over and over again, I’ve finally finished the titular track of the album. I’m a sucker for “beauty of the world” style lyrics though. Actually, scratch that, I’m a sucker for most kinds of lyrics.

言葉で 描けない 優しさ 教えてくれたのは 誰だろう
まだ まだ ここに残ってる

kotoba de egakenai yasashisa oshiete kureta no wa dare darou
mada mada koko ni nokotteru

Who were the ones who taught me the kindness that can’t be described with words I wonder
They’re still, they’re still, remaining right here

形に 残せない 勇気を 教えてくれたのは 誰だろう
まだ まだ ここで歌ってる

katachi ni nokosenai yuuki o oshiete kureta no wa darou
mada mada koko de utatteru

Who were the ones who taught me the courage that can’t retain a shape I wonder
They’re still, they’re still, singing right here

太陽 月 光 花 風 霞
木漏れ日 夕立 笑顔 涙
朧月夜 若葉 陽炎 薄氷 蜃気楼

taiyou tsuki hikari hana kaze kasumi
komorebi yuudachi egao namida
oborodzukiyo wakaba kagerou usurai shinkirou

The sun, the moon, light, flowers, wind and mist
rays of light through the trees, evening rain, smiles and tears
misty moonlit nights, young leaves, heat hazes, thin ice and mirages

太陽 月 光 青葉 夕凪
夜空 走馬灯 笑顔 涙
青嵐 万緑 蝉時雨 漣 星の色

taiyou tsuki hikari aoba yuunagi
yozora soumatou egao namida
aoarashi banryoku semishigure sazanami hoshi no iro

The sun, the moon, light, fresh leaves and the calm evening sea
The night sky, revolving lanterns, smiles and tears
wind through nature, myriads of greenery, the cicada’s cries, water ripples, and the colour of the stars

心を 満たせない 涙を 教えてくれたのは 誰だろう
まだ まだ ここに眠ってる

kokoro o motasenai namida o oshiete kureta no wa dare darou
mada mada koko ni nemutteru

Who were the ones who taught me about the tears that don’t cause your heart fill up I wonder
They’re still, they’re still sleeping here

太陽 月 光 色の無い風
流れ星 雨月 笑顔 涙
星月夜 落葉 露時雨 黄昏 帰り花

taiyou tsuki hikari iro no nai kaze
nagareboshi ugetsu egao namida
hoshidzukiyo ochiba tsuyu shigure tasogare kaeribana

The sun, the moon, light, and the colourless wind
shooting stars, rainy nights, smiles and tears
starry nights, falling leaves, outbursts of dew, twilight and reblooming flowers

太陽 月 光 吐息 風花
長い夜 泡沫 笑顔 涙
浮寝鳥 水面 雪時雨 水涸る 銀の色

taiyou tsuki hikari toiki kazabana
nagai yo utakata egao namida
ukinedori minamo yuki shigure mizu karu gin no iro

The sun, the moon, light, deep breaths and snow flurries on the wind
long nights, bubbles on water, smiles and tears
birds sleeping while they float, the water’s surface, snow showers, evaporation, and the colour of silver

懐かしさを忘れてく もう遠い想い出
風の香りに 心の棘を 残すばかり

natsukashisa o wasurete ku mou tooi omoide
kaze no kaori ni kokoro no toge o nokosu bakari

Forgetting about nostalgia, those are already distant memories
I’ll just leave my heart’s thorns on the wind’s scent

全ては巡り 何度も繰り返す
春夏秋冬 夢 笑顔 涙
生きる事の本当の意味を 教えてくれていた

subete wa meguri nando mo kurikaesu
shunkashuutou yume egao namida
ikiru koto no hontou no imi o oshiete kureteita

Everything cycles, over and over it repeats
Spring, summer, fall, winter, dreams, smiles and tears
Everything taught me what it truly means to be alive

MOTHER NATURE 想像を超えた先へ
何度 躓いてもかまわない
1人だけど でも独りじゃない 心は そばにいる

MOTHER NATURE souzou o koeta saki e
nando tsumazuitemo kamawanai
hitori dakedo demo hitori janai kokoro wa soba ni iru

MOTHER NATURE, beyond my imagination
It doesn’t matter how many times I trip up
Even though I’m in solitude, I’m not alone, my heart is with me

MOTHER NATURE 未来を 紡いでいく
全てを包み込む その愛で
1人だけど でも独りじゃない 世界はそばにいる

MOTHER NATURE mirai o tsumuide yuku
subete o tsutsumi komu sono ai de
hitori dakedo demo hitori janai sekai wa soba ni iru

MOTHER NATURE, weaving the threads of the future
wrapping up everything up with it’s love
Even though I’m in solitude, I’m not alone, the world is with me

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

bEAT GATHER

My Zytokine inclinations have led me to translate this.
This seems like the kind of song that could have quite a few different interpretations. As I’ve said before, I’m not all too familiar with the DDC cast, but if I recall, Raiko is the one who was a tsukumogami right? So I imagined this song being about her birth and such. It sounds almost as if she’s trying to validate her existence, and it also sounds like she wants to unite the world, with the whole “be together bEAT GATHER” thing.

Notes: Lots of wordplay going on in this song.

揺れる月の 光の影に 照らされる 美しさへと
人の嘆きと憂いの影が 今 再び 重なるようだ

yureru tsuki no hikari no kage ni terasareru utsukushisa e to
hito no nageki to urei no kage ga ima futatabi kasanaru you da

Towards this beauty lit up by the light of the swaying moon
It seems like the shadows of people’s grief and gloom are piling up once again

忘れたまま 知らないふりして 生きる事は 赦されても
刻む鼓動は 忘れることはない 過ぎた命の 眩しさを

wasureta mama shiranai furi shite ikiru koto wa yurusaretemo
kizamu kodou wa wasureru koto wa nai sugita inochi no mabushisa o

As I’ve forgotten, I act clueless, even if I’m forgiven for coming to life
My ticking heartbeat will not forget the dazzling life that’s passed by

こぼれ落ちていく (響くリズムが揺さぶる影に)
重ねあう2つの音(答えはまだみえないまま)

kobore ochite yuku (hibiku rizumu ga yusaburu kage ni)
kasane au futatsu no oto (kotae wa mada mienai mama)

Spilling and falling over (to the shadows shaken by the resounding rhythm)
The two sounds come to stack together (as the answer still can not be seen)

今さらなんだって 灰になったって 塵になったって いいじゃない
前を向いたって 後ろ向いたって また迷ったって いいじゃない
だからこの beat 心に 響かせたいのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

imasara nandatte hai ni natta tte gomi ni natta tte ii janai
mae o muita tte ushiro muita tte mata mayotta tte ii janai
dakara kono beat kokoro ni hibikasetai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

That it’s been so long I’ve turned to ashes and became trash, isn’t that fine?
That I was turning back and forth and got lost again, isn’t that fine?
So I want to make this beat resonate in your heart
be together “bEAT GATHER”

飛ばしたいんだって ハイになったって 何になったって いいじゃない
何が好きかって 大事だったって 無くしちゃったって いいじゃない
だから この beat この手で 刻んでいたいのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

tobashitai n datte hai ni natta tte nan ni natta tte ii janai
nani ga suki ka tte daiji datta tte nakushi chatta tte ii janai
dakara kono beat kono te de kizandeitai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

I wanted to send something off, so it went high, whatever it became, isn’t that fine?
Whatever I like or found important or ended up losing, isn’t it fine?
So I want to engrave this beat with my own hands
be together “bEAT GATHER”

落ちる月の 光の糸を 手繰り寄せては ひび割れて
人の炎に沈んだ闇が 今 再び 絡まるようだ

ochiru tsuki no hikari no ito o taguri yosete wa hibiwarete
hito no honoo ni shizunda yami ga ima futatabi karamaru you da

Pulling in the strings of the sinking moon’s light, a crack developed
It seems like the darkness sunk in the passion of people is entwined here once again

ここで溶けていく (響くリズムが揺さぶる影に)
不確かな2つの音(終わりはまだみえないまま)

koko de tokete yuku (hibiku rizumu ga yusaburu kage ni)
futashika na futatsu no oto (owari wa mada mienai mama)

Melting away right here (to the shadows shaken by the resounding rhythm)
The two sounds are unclear (as the end still can not be seen)

星に願ったって 振り返ったって 心許したって いいじゃない
全て夢だったって 独り泣いたって 目を覚ましたって いいじゃない
だから この beat 世界に 響かせたいのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

hoshi ni negatta tte furi kaetta tte kokoro yurushita tte ii janai
subete yume datta tte hitori naita tte me o samashita tte ii janai
dakara kono beat sekai ni hibikasetai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

That I wished upon stars and looked back on myself and forgave my heart, isn’t that fine?
That everything was a dream and I cried alone and opened my eyes, isn’t that fine?
So I want to make this beat resonate throughout the world
be together “bEAT GATHER”

壊したいんだって ハイになったって 傷ついたって いいじゃない
みんな好き勝手 道化なんだって だからなんだって いいじゃない
だから この beat 心に 刺さって痛いのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

kowashitai n datte hai ni natta tte kizutuita tte ii janai
minna suki katte douke nanda tte dakara nanda tte ii janai
dakara kono beat kokoro ni sasatte itai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

I want to destroy, and so it all went up high and became hurt, isn’t that fine?
Everyone’s doing as they please, they’re up to trouble, so who cares, isn’t it fine?
So I want this beat to be pierced in your heart though it hurts
be together “bEAT GATHER”

悲しささえ追いつけない 正しささえ追いつけない
世界まで 未来まで 届くなら 響くならさ
何度でも言うよ be together be together…

kanashisa sae oitsukenai tadashisa sae oitsukenai
sekai made mirai made todoku nara hibiku nara
nando demo iu yo be together be together…

I can’t even overtake this sorrow, nor can I even keep up with what is right
Far through the world, throughout the future, if it’ll reach, if it’ll be heard
no matter how many times it’ll take, I’ll say be together be together…

今さらなんだって 灰になったって 塵になったって いいじゃない
前を向いたって 後ろ向いたって また迷ったって いいじゃない
だからこの beat 心に 響かせたいのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

imasara nandatte hai ni natta tte gomi ni natta tte ii janai
mae o muita tte ushiro muita tte mata mayotta tte ii janai
dakara kono beat kokoro ni hibikasetai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

That it’s been so long I’ve turned to ashes and became trash, isn’t that fine?
That I was turning back and forth and got lost again, isn’t that fine?
So I want to make this beat resonate in your heart
be together “bEAT GATHER”

Planetary Revolution

I always enjoy lyrics about space, for this reason, I’ll recommend to you right now to take a look at “uni_Verse”
As for an analysis of this song, it’s all about having a vision too narrowed to be able to see the beautiful world all around you. If you don’t like the possible future presented to you, “smash it” and find another, keep your eyes wide and your mind open.

例えば 君の世界で
ゼロ感覚を 曲げたら
何千光年の距離を 七色に

tatoeba kimi no sekai de
zero kankaku o magetara
nanzen kounen no kyori o nana iro ni

Let’s say that if in your world
zero sensations were yielded
then go over thousands of light years, to a rainbow

まるでクリスタルが砕けて
散らばる瞬間のように
その可能性未来
ゼロ距離で打ち砕いて

marude kurisutaru ga kudakete
chirabaru shunkan no you ni
sono kanousei mirai
zero kyori de uchi kudaite

Just as if a crystal was broken
like a moment of scattering into pieces
Take that possible future
smash it to pieces at point blank

壊されていく 華やいでいく

kowasarete yuku kudayaide yuku

Becoming demolished – Becoming brilliant

どこまでも自由に ピントを合わせたら
探してた世界なんてのは 嘘だってきっと気づくさ
足元に広がる 宇宙に気づいたら
失う必要なんてないから 何度だって気づけるさ

doko made mo jiyuu ni pinto o awasetara
sagashiteta sekai nante no wa usa da tte kitto kidzuku sa
ashimoto ni hirogaru uchuu ni kidzuitara
ushinau koto nante nai kara nando da tte kidzukeru sa

No matter where you are, if you freely bring it into focus
things like the world you’ve been searching for, you’ll realize are a lie
And when you noticed at your feet, the universe sprawling out
you’ll see you’ve lost nothing, time after time, you’ll be able to see that

寂しいなら twinkle starlight
見上げたら shooting star light
君だけに bring you starlight
そばに with me forever

samishii nara twinkle starlight

If you’re lonely, twinkle starlight
When you look up, you’ll see a shooting star light
Only for you, I’ll bring you starlight

思えば 僕の世界は
ゼロ感覚に 怯えて
何千光年の距離を さまよって

omoeba boku no sekai wa
zero kankaku ni obiete
nanzen kounen no kyori o samayotte

Thinking about it I’m scared of
my world having zero sensations
I wander about a distance of thousands of light years

まるでクリスタルがはじけて
輝く瞬間のように
その可能性未来
ゼロ距離で打ち砕いて

marude kurisutaru ga hajikete
kagayaku shunkan no you ni
sono kanousei mirai
zero kyori de uchi kudaite

Just as if a crystal burst open
like a moment of sparkling
Take that possible future
smash it to pieces at point blank

汚されていく ささやいていく

yogosarete yuku sasayaite yuku

Becoming corrupted – Whispering

どこまでも僕らは 自由なはずなのに
求めてた答えなんてのは 嘘だってきっと気づくさ
足元に広がる 宇宙に気づいたら
失う必要なんてないから 何度だって愛せるさ

doko made mo bokura wa jiyuu na hazu nanoni

No matter where we go we should be free although
things like the answer we’ve been pursuing, we’ll surely realize is a lie
And when we notice at our feet, the universe sprawling out
we’ll see we’ve lost nothing, time after time, we’ll be able to love
