I read the title as “Riversideology” at first, and I was expecting an arrange of Komachi’s theme. I wasn’t planning on translating this one at first, but I decided to do it just for a certain someone before I move on. Next up in my plans, the Dancing Dollz album.

鏡に映った姿に
笑われたような気がして
何が僕で　誰が僕で
僕は誰で　僕は　僕は…

kagami ni utsutta sugata ni
warawareta you na ki ga shite
nani ga boku de dare ga boku de
boku wa dare de boku wa boku wa…

I get the feeling that the figure reflected
inside the mirror is laughing at me
What am I? Who am I?
I am who? I am.. I am…

right and leｆt and right and left
感じたこの痛み
left and right and left and right
嘘なんかじゃないと

right and left and right and left
kanjita kono itami
left and right and left and right
uso nanka janai to

right and left and right and left
I felt this pain
left and right and left right
“This isn’t anything like a lie”

Tell me what is the truth?
壊れたまま　望んでいく
迷い込んだままの世界　めちゃくちゃにして

Tell me what is the truth?
kowareta mama nozonde iku
mayoi konda mama no sekai mechakucha ni shite

Tell me what is the truth?
I wish to know as it remains destroyed
I’ll turn this world that’s gone astray into a senseless mess

Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
君の正しさ　僕の正しさの意味は
わかりあえないまま

Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
kimi no tadashisa boku no tadashisa no ima wa
wakari aenai mama

Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
We can’t come to understand each other’s
meaning of what’s correct

鏡に映った姿に
笑われたような気がして
何が君で　誰が君で
君は誰で　君は　君は…

kagami ni utsutta sugata ni
warawareta you na ki ga shite
nani ga kimi de dare ga kimi de
kimi wa dare de kimi wa kimi wa…

I get the feeling that the figure reflected
inside the mirror is laughing at me
What are you? Who are you?
You are who? You are.. you are…

right and left and right and left
信じたこの痛み
left and right and left and right
嘘なんかじゃないと

right and left and right and left
shinjita kono itami
left and right and left and right
uso nanka janai to

right and left and right and left
I believed in this pain
left and right and left right
“This isn’t anything like a lie”

Tell me what is the truth?
汚れたまま　落ちていく
独り描いていた未来　ぐしゃぐしゃにして
Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
君の優しさ　僕の優しさの意味は
バラバラのまま

Tell me what is the truth?
yogareta mama ochite iku
hitori egaiteita mirai gushagusha ni shite
Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
kimi no yasashisa boku no yasashisa no imi wa
barabara no mama

Tell me what is the truth?
I fall as I’m corrupted
I’ll turn the future you’ve drawn out into a soggy mess
Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
The meaning of your kindness and of my kindness
are separate

逆さまのまま　浮かぶ涙に
映る 世界が正しく視える
あれも嘘で　これも嘘なら
信じる意味を教えてよ

sakasama no mama ukabu namida ni
utsuru sekai ga tadashiku mieru
are mo uso de kore mo uso nara
shinjiru imi o oshiete yo

I see this upside down world reflected
in this floating tear as correct
If that’s a lie, if this is a lie
teach me what it means to believe

Tell me what is the truth?
壊れたまま　望んでいく
迷い込んだままの世界　めちゃくちゃにして

Tell me what is the truth?
kowareta mama nozonde iku
mayoi konda mama no sekai mechakucha ni shite

Tell me what is the truth?
I wish to know as it remains destroyed
I’ll turn this world that’s gone astray into a senseless mess

Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
君の正しさ　僕の正しさの意味は
わかりあえないまま

Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
kimi no tadashisa boku no tadashisa no ima wa
wakari aenai mama

Baby can’t you see this upside down world?
We can’t come to understand each other’s
meaning of what’s correct

Nachi’s probably one of my favorite singers, this song quickly grew on me. I think this is my first song of hers that I’ve done though. I’m pretty proud of how nicely this translation turned out.

指先から　伝える　音　視線
“今夜は月が奇麗だから”
この歌声も　静かな夜に
どこまでも　遠く響くかな

yubisaki kara tsutaeru oto shisen
“konya wa tsuki ga kirei dakara”
kono utagoe mo shizukana yoru ni
doko made mo tooku hibiku kana

Sending a sound from my fingertips down my line of sight
“because the moon is pretty tonight”
I wonder if my singing voice will
travel far and echo throughout this quiet night

だけど　お似合いだね　point of silence
だけど　期待してる　point of silence
月明かりの下　想いはどこへ　行くのかな
知りたいな　just two of us

dakedo oniai da ne point of silence
dakedo kitai shiteru point of silence
tsukiakari no shita omoi wa doko e iku no kana
shiritai na just two of us

But the point of silence counters it
But I’ve been expecting this point of silence
Under this moonlight, where will your feelings go to?
I want to know, just two of us

You are my heart たぶん　伝えたくて
声の限りに叫んでも
You are my heart たぶんね
今のままだって　わかってる
わかってるつもりの hide and seek

You are my heart tabun tsutaetakute
koe no kagiri ni sakendemo
You are my heart tabun ne
ima no mama da tte wakatteru
wakatteru tsumori no hide and seek

You are my heart, maybe I want to tell you that
even if I have to shout at the top of my lungs
You are my heart, probably
“That’s how it is now” I understand
A hide and seek with the intention for you to understand

やっぱりね　ほんとはね　ほんとだね
やっぱりね　キミがね　いないとね
やっぱりね　独りじゃ　ダメだね
逃げこんだ先
point of silence

yappari ne honto wa ne honto da ne
yappari ne kimi ga ne inai to ne
yappari ne hitori ja dame da ne
nige konda saki
point of silence

Just as I thought, the truth is the truth
Just as I thought, when you aren’t here
Just as I thought, it’s no good being alone
After I run away I reach the
point of silence

願っていた　雲一つない　夜空
“今夜は月が奇麗だから”
この詩（ことば）では　いつまでも　誰の心
にも届かないよね

negatteita kumo hitotsu nai yozora
“konya wa tsuki ga kirei dakara”
kono kotoba de wa itsu made mo dare no kokoro
ni mo todokanai yo ne

I had wished during the cloudless night sky
“because the moon is pretty tonight”
The words in this poem will forever never
reach the heart of anyone will they

だから　隠れていた　point of silence
だから　隠していた　point of silence
月明かりの下　願いは何を　呼ぶのかな
知りたいな　just two of us

dakara kakureteita point of silence
dakara kakushiteita point of silence
tsukiakari no shita negai wa nani o yobu no kana
shiritai na just two of us

And so the point of silence has been hidden
And so I’ve hidden the point of silence
What do you call the wish I made under the moonlight?
I want to know, just the two of us

You are my soul たぶん　信じたくて
風の便りに　迷っても
You are my soul たぶんね
わがままだって　わかってる
わかってるつもりの hide and seek

You are my soul tabun shinjitakute
kaze no tayori ni mayottemo
You are my soul tabun ne
wagamama da tte wakatteru
wakatteru tsumori no hide and seek

Maybe I want to believe you are my soul
even though word from the grapevine makes me lost
You are my soul probably
“I’m selfish” I understand
A hide and seek with the intention for you to understand

やっぱりね　ほんとはね　ほんとだね
やっぱりね　キミがね　いないとね
やっぱりね　独りじゃ　ダメだね
逃げこんだ先
point of silence

yappari ne honto wa ne honto da ne
yappari ne kimi ga ne inai to ne
yappari ne hitori ja dame da ne
nige konda saki
point of silence

Just as I thought, the truth is the truth
Just as I thought, when you aren’t here
Just as I thought, it’s no good being alone
After I run away I reach the
point of silence

だけど　お似合いだね　point of silence
だけど　期待してる　point of silence
月明かりの下　想いはどこへ　行くのかな
知りたいな　just two of us

dakedo oniai da ne point of silence
dakedo kitai shiteru point of silence
tsukiakari no shita omoi wa doko e iku no kana
shiritai na just two of us

But the point of silence counters it
But I’ve been expecting this point of silence
Under this moonlight, where will your feelings go to?
I want to know, just two of us

You are my heart たぶん　キミのそばに
いたいだけ　痛いけど　それでもいい
You are my heart たぶんね
ダメなんだって　わかってる
わかってたつもりの hide and seek

You are my heart tabun kimi no soba ni
itai dake itai kedo sore demo ii
You are my heart tabun ne
dame nanda tte wakatteru
wakatteta tsumori no hide and seek

You are my heart, maybe I just want to be
by your side, although it hurts that’s alright
You are my heart probably
“It’s useless” I understand
A hide and seek with the intention for me to have understood

やっぱりね　ほんとはね　ほんとだね
やっぱりね　キミがね　いないとね
やっぱりね　独りじゃ　ダメだね
逃げこんだ先
point of silence

yappari ne honto wa ne honto da ne
yappari ne kimi ga ne inai to ne
yappari ne hitori ja dame da ne
nige konda saki
point of silence

Just as I thought, the truth is the truth
Just as I thought, when you aren’t here
Just as i thought, it’s no good being alone
After I run away I reach the
point of silence

no way…

Ah, what a beautiful song. I don’t have much more to say after that. I don’t think I’ll need to edit this translation much in the future, it seems pretty smooth. I should probably stop posting so late though.

独り　篝火を背に
迷い込んだ 夜を　欺いて
こぼれ落ちる　砂のよう
記憶にさらわれて　泣いている

hitori kagaribi o se ni
mayoi konda yoru o azamuite
kobore ochiru suna no you
kioku ni sarawarete naiteiru

Alone, my back to the bonfire flames
fooling the night gone astray
Just like sand falling and scattering
I’m swept away by my memories and I cry

君の言う　弱さの意味が
今の　僕には　眩しくて
照らされた　魂に映る　眠る雛鳥
巣立つ時　巡る運命
淡い色に　染まる宝石
枯れ果てた　点と点
心と心　重ねられたら
僕は　それで…

kimi no iu yowasa no imi ga
ima no boku ni wa mabushikute
terasareta tamashi ni utsuru nemuru hinadori
sudatsu toki meguru unmei
awai iro ni somaru houseki
karehateta ten to ten
kokoro to kokoro kasaneraretara
boku wa sore de…

Your meaning of weakness
is radiant to the me right now
A sleeping baby bird is reflected by my lit up spirit
When it leaves the nest it’s fate revolves
like a precious gem to be dyed a faint colour
If we can be together heart to heart
and dried out dot to dot
With that, I’ll then…

遠い　蛍火の色
しゃがみこんだ　僕を　慰めて
いつか終わる　喜劇と
記憶に焼き付けて　泣いている

tooi hotarubi no iro
jagami konda boku o nagusamete
itsuka owaru kigeki to
kioku ni yaki tsukete naiteiru

The light of the firefly was far
You crouched down and comforted me
These days are burned into my mind
as a comedy to someday end, and I cry

僕の思う　強さの意味が
今の　君には　重すぎて
ほどかれた　黄昏時に　歌う雛鳥
子守唄　どこで覚えて
そして　どこへ忘れていこう？
朽ち果てた　点と点
心と心　重ねられたら
僕は　どこへ…

boku no omou tsuyosa no imi ga
ima no kimi ni wa omosugite
hodokareta tasogare doki ni utau hinadori
komori uta doko de oboete
soshite doko e wasurete ikou?
kuchi hateta ten to ten
kokoro to kokoro kasaneraretara
boku wa doko e…

What I think is the meaning of strength
is much too heavy for the you right now
When the dusk is unwrapped, I recognize the
singing chick’s lullaby from somewhere
Then where should I go to forget these memories?
If we can be together heart to heart
and decayed dot to dot
somewhere, I’ll…

あの日　君が
残していった　折り紙
何に　変わる　はずだったのだろう

ano hi kimi ga
nokoshiteita origami
nani ni kawaru hazu datta no darou

On that day you
had left behind an origami
What was it supposed to have become I wonder

この手では　弱さの意味を
勘違いしてしまうから
放たれた　大空の色　迷う雛鳥
眠る時　願う偶然
淡い色に　染まる永遠
もう一度　点と点
心と心　重ねられたら
僕は　何も…

kono te de wa yowasa no imi o
kanchigai shite shimau kara
hanatareta oozora no iro mayou hinadori
nemuru toki negau guuzen
awai iro ni somaru eien
mou ichido ten to ten
kokoro to kokoro kasaneraretara
boku wa nani mo…

Because within these hands I’ve misunderstood
the meaning of weakness
the baby bird is lost in the set free colour of the sky
If by chance it wishes when it’s asleep
eternity will be dyed a faint colour
If we can be together
dot to dot, heart to heart, one more time
I’ll do anything…

I, Scream

I decided it’s about time I give this album a listen today, I’ve also got plans for ORIGAMI from it. I was a little confused about the meaning of “period” at first, but given that the lyrics speaks of the world being upside down etc, I think it means “time period,” if anyone else thought it was a little vague.

小さく　翳る　心へと　宿るもの
叫ぶ　ことさえ 忘れては　罪と知る

chiisaku kageru kokoro e to yadoru mono
sakebu koto sae wasurete wa tsumi to shiru

There are things looking to dwell in my slightly darkening heart
Forgetting how to even scream would be a sin, I am aware

ピリオド　打つ　瞬間に　始まる夢
逆さまの　現実を　壊したくて
鋭い心で切り取ってしまえたなら
いいね　それでも

piriodo utsu shunkan ni hajimaru yume
sakasama no genjitsu wo kowashitakute
surudoi naifu de kiri totte shimaeta nara
ii ne sore demo

The moment I strike the period the dream begins
I want to destroy this upside down reality
If I could have ended up cutting it down with my sharp heart
that’d be excellent, but even so

I, SCREAM!
もう　迷わないよ　僕の弱さも　力に変えて
the ray of light
輝く　destiny　セカイを照らす
弱さも　声　上げて　超えて　夢見て
強さの　意味は　君が　教えて　くれた

I, SCREAM!
mou mayowanai yo boku no yowasa mo chikara ni kaete
the ray of light
kagayaku destiny sekai o terasu
yowasa mo koe agete koete yume mite
tsuyosa no imi wa kimi ga oshiete kureta

I SCREAM!
I won’t lose my way anymore, I’ll even change my weakness into power
The ray of light
this shining destiny will light up the world
I’ll raise my voice and my weakness and exceed and dream
You were the one who taught me the meaning of strength

君へと　続く　心へと　宿る音
叫ぶ ことさえ　忘れては　罪と知る

kimi e to tsudzuku kokoro e to yadoru oto
sakebu koto sae wasurete wa tsumi to shiru

Continuing towards you, sound seeks to live in my heart
Forgetting how to even scream would be a sin, I am aware

ピリオド　打つ　その手に　伝えたくて
逆さまの　現実が　壊せなくて
鋭い後悔で切り取ってしまった心
だけど それでも

piriodo utsu sono te ni tsutaetakute
sakasama no genjitsu ga kowasenakute
surudoi naifu de kiri totte shimatta kokoro
dakedo soredemo

I want to tell these hands striking the period
this flipped reality just can’t be destroyed
My heart ended up cutting away with its sharp regrets
however, even so

I, SCREAM!
もう　壊せないよ　小さな声も　力に変えて
the ray of light
繋ぐ　eternity　セカイを揺らす
弱さへ　その手　伸ばして　触れてみて
傷つける　ばかりが　強さ　じゃないと

I, SCREAM!
mou kowasenai yo chiisana koe mo chikara ni kaete
the ray of light
tsunagu eternity sekai o yurasu
yowasa e sono te nobashite furete mite
kizutsukeru bakari ga tsuyosa janai to

I SCREAM!
I can’t destroy anymore, I’ll turn my small voice into power as well
The ray of light
My fastened eternity will shake the world
I’ll try to stretch these hands out and touch my weakness
“Doing nothing but hurting others isn’t strength”

ピリオド 打つ 瞬間に　堕ちた夢
逆さまの　現実に　すがりたくて
鋭い絶望で　切り取ってしまった炎
だけど それでも

piriodo utsu shunkan ni ochita yume
sakasama no genjitsu ni sugaritakute
surudoi naifu de kiri totte shimatta honoo
dakedo soredemo

The moment I struck the period the dream fell
I want to cling on to this upside down reality
The flames ended up whittling away with a sharp despair
however, even so

I, SCREAM!
諦めないよ　僕の弱さも　力に変えて
the ray of light
さあ　感じる　reality　セカイを変える
弱さも　声も　上げて　超えて　夢見て
強さも　弱さも 自分自身 so I, SCREAM!

I, SCREAM!
akiramenai yo boku no yowasa mo chikara ni kaete
the ray of light
saa kanjiru reality sekai o kaeru
yowasa mo koe mo agete koete yume mite
tsuyosa yowasa mo jibun jishin so I, SCREAM!

I SCREAM!
I won’t give up, I’ll change my weakness into power as well
The ray of light
Come, I feel reality, I’ll change the world
I’ll raise my voice and my weakness and exceed and dream
Weakness and strength are both part of myself so I, SCREAM!
