Probably my favourite song of this album. NSY arrangements are my favourite. It’s easy to recognize NSY songs whenever you hear the thing going on at 1:20, which I love. Another indicator is heavy use of what I think are violins. Stylistically, it’s often hard to tell the difference between Wani and NSY, but NSY does have a signature “epic” style that he goes for usually once every Sally album, that usually have Shuriken lyrics. This is more Sally commentary than monochrome-coat though.

Notes: I’m not entirely satisfied with that first stanza.

淡く切ない　今宵は儚く　蒼い記憶が霞んで
光交わる　絆を結んで　深い闇へと導く

awaku setsunai koyoi wa hakanaku aoi kioku ga kasunde
hikari majiwaru kizuna o musunde fukai yami e to michibiku

This evening, faintly painful, fleeting blue memories blur
Light crosses itself, binding ties, and leads towards a deep darkness

星のダイヤが乱れる前に時を刻んで宙を舞うのよ
もう止まらない止められないの　幻想の園へ

hoshi no daiya ga midareru mae ni toki o kizande chuu o mau no yo
mou tomaranai tomerarenai no gensou no sono e

Before diamonds of stars go wild, time ticks on, and they dance through space
I won’t stop, I can’t stop, towards the garden of fantasy

流星のため息　気まぐれなブルームーン

ryuusei no tameiki kimagure na buruu muun

The sigh of a shooting star – a whimsical blue moon

Shining Star 惹かれあって
Shining Hearts 揺らいだ
Shining Star 掻き乱して
Shining Hearts 真実を求め

Shining Star hikare atte
Shining Hearts yuraida
Shining Star kaki midashite
Shining Hearts shinjitsu o motome

Shining Star – Drawn together
Shining Hearts – Shaken
Shining Star – Interfering
Shining Hearts – Seeking the truth

淡く切ない　今宵は儚く　蒼い記憶が霞んで
光交わる　絆を結んで　深い闇へと導く

awaku setsunai koyoi wa hakanaku aoi kioku ga kasunde
hikari majiwaru kizuna o musunde fukai yami e to michibiku

This evening, faintly painful, fleeting blue memories blur
Light crosses itself, binding ties, and leads towards a deep darkness

銀河の果てまであなたとふたりで
手と手を繋いで夢の続きを
セカイを創って　セカイの終わりへ
星屑となった聖なる夜に

ginga no hate made anata to futari de
te to te o tsunaide yume no tsudzuki o
sekai o tsukutte sekai no owari e
hoshikuzu to natta seinaru yoru ni

Together with you to the end of the galaxy,
hand in hand, waiting for the next dream
Creating worlds, to the end of the world
on this holy night amounting to stardust

月を巡って未知の世界へ　歪んだ時空　荒んだ虚空
もう止まらない　止められないのロマンスな夜
星のダイヤが乱れる前に時を刻んで宙を舞うのよ
もう止まらない止められないの　幻想の園へ

tsuki o megutte michi no sekai e yuganda jikuu aranda kokuu
mou tomaranai tomerarenai no romansu na yoru
hoshi no daiya ga midareru mae ni toki o kizande chuu o mau no yo
mou tomaranai tomerarenai no gensou no sono e

Going around the moon, towards an unknown world – a warped spacetime – a barren vaccuum
I won’t stop, I can’t stop, on this night of romance
Before diamonds of stars go wild, time ticks on, and they dance through space
I won’t stop, I can’t stop, towards the garden of fantasy

流星のため息　気まぐれなブルームーン

ryuusei no tameiki kimagure na buruu muun

The sigh of a shooting star – a whimsical blue moon

夜が落ちていくわ　あなたを誘って
甘い蜜と嘘と　曖昧な日々が過ぎて

yoru ga ochite yuku wa anata o sasotte
amai mitsu to uso to aimai na hibi ga sugite

Night descends, inviting you
Sweet nectar, lies and vague days passing by

Shining Star 見つめあって
Shining Hearts ひらいた
Shining Star 掻き回して
Shining Hearts 委ねた

Shining Star mitsume atte
Shining Hearts hiraita
Shining Star kaki mawashite
Shining Hearts yudaneta

Shining Star – Eye to eye
Shining Hearts – Opened up
Shining Star – Rummaging around
Shining Hearts – Entrusted

Shining Star 惹かれあって
Shining Hearts 揺らいだ
Shining Star 掻き乱して
Shining Hearts 真実を求め

Shining Star – Drawn together
Shining Hearts – Shaken
Shining Star – Interfering
Shining Hearts – Seeking the truth

Probably my favourite song of this album. I can’t find one complaint about the arrangement, lyrics, or singers. Duets are really cool and circles should do them more.

ああ　遥か古の人は夜空を見上げ

Ah, long ago, in ancient times, the people looked at the night sky
and felt yearning for the peak of the gods

Yes, rather than just wishing upon a shooting star
now’s the time to find the truth with your own hands

Ah, in a galaxy of stardust, the course a ship sails

Yes, the monster known as loneliness whispers
fall in the dark into a vortex of despair

Engraving all the miracles that have accumulated deep into my heart
I’ll just eliminate any hesitation – The future is mine!

Suffering and sorrow always
connect a message to tomorrow
Aim for a new you and take on the fight

I wasn’t sure about posting this one. It’s a bit hard to interpret the lyrics. For example, in Japanese, the word for moonlight is 月影 (lit. moonshadow). Does that extend to 月の影? Do all the 影s in this song actually mean light from the moon? 影 alone usually means shadow, but what shadow is rainbow coloured?

Another gripe I had was with 「その手を今　伸ばして　月を掴むなら」. Is the first half a sentence on its own, telling the listener to reach their hands out? The space does seem to indicate that it’s separate from the later bit, though if that were the case, it would be more clear to make that portion its own line. Or is the entire line its own phrase, connected to the second line, as Japanese grammar would normally imply? I don’t think it sounds as cool that way though, and sometimes lyricists do tend to go off the beaten track. In the end, I don’t think there’s really a way to tell.

静寂へと　落とす影　七色
色を変えて　吹き抜ける　風の様に
その視線の　絡みあう　銀色
月の影に　照らされる　不浄の愛

seijaku e to otosu kage nana iro
iro o kaete fuki nukeru kaze no you ni
sono shisen no karami au gin iro
tsuki no kage ni terasareru fujou no ai

The shadow cast to the silence – rainbow coloured
Changing colours, blowing through like the wind
The silver entwined in your gaze
Shined on by the moonlight, impure love

巡り巡り巡る　地上に縛られて
ゆらりゆらりゆれる　心まで縛られて
巡り巡り巡る　地上に落とされた
ゆらりゆらりゆれる　影の色

meguri meguri meguru chijou ni shibararete
yurari yurari yureru kokoro made shibararete
meguri meguri meguru chijou ni otosareta
yurari yurari yureru kage no iro

Round and round and round, bound to the Earth
Swaying, swaying, swaying, bound down to the heart
Round and round and round, dropped to the Earth
Swaying, swaying, swaying, the shadow’s colour

その手を今　伸ばして　月を掴むなら
時間も距離も越えて　想像さえも超えて
見上げていた　世界に　描く　色の風
モノクロから七色　現実から夢の世界へ飛ぶ

sono te o ima nobashite tsuki o tsukamu nara
jikan mo kyori mo koete souzou sae mo koete
mi ageteita sekai ni egaku iro no kaze
monokuro kara nana iro genjitsu kara yume no sekai e tobu

If you’ll grasp the moon by reaching out your hands now
exceed time and space, exceed even your imagination
The wind of colour I draw on the world I looked up to
turns from monochrome to a rainbow, and flies from reality to a dreamworld

追憶から　浮かぶ夢　金色
声は枯れて　終末を　描く様に
その螺旋に　囚われた　灰色
月の影は　笑ってる　無情の愛

tsuioku kara ukabu yume kin iro
koe wa karete shuumatsu o egaku you ni
sono rasen ni torawareta hai iro
tsuki no kage wa waratteru mujou no ai

The dream rising from my recollection – gold coloured
My voice hoarsens, as if drawing the end
The gray trapped by the spiral
The moonlight laughs at emotionless love

巡り巡り巡る　夢に踊らされて
ゆらりゆらりゆれる　傷は増えるばかりで
巡り巡り巡る　孤独に落とされた
ゆらりゆらりゆれる　現実へ

meguri meguri meguru yume ni odorasarete
yurari yurari yureru kizu wa fueru bakari de
meguri meguri meguru kodoku ni otosareta
yurari yurari yureru genjitsu e

Round and round and round, made to dance in a dream
Swaying, swaying, swaying, the wounds only increase
Round and round and round, dropped in solitude
Swaying, swaying, swaying, towards reality

その手を今　掴んで　星を描くなら
時間も距離も越えて　想像さえも超えて
信じていた　世界に　落とす　色の影
悲しい歌も今は　追いつけない夢の世界へ飛ぶ

sono te o ima tsukande hoshi o egaku nara
jikan mo kyori mo koete souzou sae mo koete
shinjiteita sekai ni otosu iro no kage
kanashii uta mo ima wa oi tsukenai yume no sekai e tobu

If you’ll draw the stars by taking a hold of that hand now,
exceed time and space, exceed even your imagination
The shadow of colour cast on the world I believed in
as well as sad songs now fly towards an unreachable dreamworld

星の海で　眠る夢　七色
時を越えて　夢うつつ　七色
星の海に　沈む夢　何色
月の影に　縛られた　不浄の愛

hoshi no umi de nemuru yume nana iro
toki o koete yume utsutsu nana iro
hoshi no umi ni shizumu yume nani iro
tsuki no kage ni shibarareta fujou no ai

Dreams sleeping in a sea of stars – a rainbow
Transcending time, dreams and reality – a rainbow
Dreams sinking into a sea of stars – what colour
Bound by the moonlight – impure love

その手を今　伸ばして　月を掴むなら
時間も距離も越えて　想像さえも超えて
見上げていた　世界に　描く　色の風
モノクロから七色　現実から夢の世界へ飛ぶ

sono te o ima nobashite tsuki o tsukamu nara
jikan mo kyori mo koete souzou sae mo koete
mi ageteita sekai ni egaku iro no kaze
monokuro kara nana iro genjitsu kara yume no sekai e tobu

Try counting how many times Itori says “tangerine dream.” Her English is so nice to listen to.

まどろむ世界を　彷徨い続けてる
現実の裏側に　身を委ねてる
逃げこむ世界に　縛られ始めてる
現実の裏側に　凍え続けて

madoromu sekai o samayoi tsudzuketeru
genjitu no uragawa ni mi o yudaneteru
nige komu sekai ni shibarare hajimeteru
genjitsu no uragawa ni kogoe tsudzukete

I’m continuing to wander through a sleeping world
I’m leaving myself to the other side of reality
I’m beginning to be bound by the world I escape to
Continuing to be frozen on the other side of reality

色の無い　静かな海に　浮かべたまま　Tangerine dream
未完成　光も声も届かないまま　Tangerine dream
独りきり　昏い夜空に　浮かべたまま　Tangerine dream
身勝手に　踊る太陽　Tangerine dream Tangerine dream

iro no nai shizuka na umi ni ukabeta mama Tangerine dream
mikansei hikari mo koe mo todokanai mama Tangerine dream
hitori kiri kurai yozora ni ukabeta mama Tangerine dream
migatte ni odoru taiyou Tangerine dream Tangerine dream

As I floated on a quiet, colourless sea – Tangerine dream
Incomplete, as no light or voice reaches – Tangerine dream
All alone, as I floated in the dark night sky – Tangerine dream
The selfishly dancing sun – Tangerine dream Tangerine dream

steppin’ to be free, be another one
jumpin’ to be free, be another one
時を越えて　君を連れて
いつか夢から覚めた時　そばに居てほしいよ

steppin’ to be free, be another one
jumpin’ to be free, be another one
toki o koete kimi o tsurete
itsu ka yume kara sameta toki soba ni ite hoshii yo

steppin’ to be free, be another one
jumpin’ to be free, be another one
Transcending time, taking you with me,
after I someday wake up from this dream, I want you to be by my side

心のどこかでは　気づき始めてる
現実の裏側で　呼び続けてる
逃げこむ世界に　何かを感じてる
現実の裏側に　傷をつけてる

kokoro no doko ka de wa kidzuki hajimeteru
genjitsu no uragawa de yobi tsudzuketeru
nige komu sekai ni nani ka o kanjiteru
genjitsu no uragawa ni kizu o tsuketeru

I’m beginning to notice somewhere in my heart
I’m continuing to call out on the other side of reality
I’m feeling something in the world I escape to
I’m hurting someone on the other side of reality

気づいてた　静かな海に　忘れたまま　Tangerine dream
ボロボロに　砕け散っては　泣いていた　あの　Tangerine dream
独りきり　でも寂しくはなかった　あの　Tangerine dream
身勝手に　踊る心に　Tangerine dream Tangerine dream

kidzuiteta shizuka na umi ni wasureta mama Tangerine dream
boro boro ni kudake chitte wa naiteita ano Tangerine dream
hitori kiri demo sabishiku wa nakatta ano Tangerine dream
migatte ni odoru kokoro ni Tangerine dream Tangerine dream

I realized, as I forgot in the quiet sea – Tangerine dream
Crumbling to pieces as I cried, that Tangerine dream
I was all alone, but I wasn’t lonely, that Tangerine dream
In my selfishly dancing heart, Tangerine dream Tangerine dream

steppin’ to be free, be another one
jumpin’ to be free, be another one
光る月が　翳る前に
辛い夢から覚めた時　そばに居てほしいよ

after I wake up from this bitter dream, I want you to be by my side

steppin’ to be free, be another one

愛を呼んで　君を連れて
いつか夢だと気づいても　そばに居てほしいよ
