Nachi Sakaue

Dedicate to You

As you can probably tell from the fact that I didn’t jump right into a translation marathon as soon as I got my hands on the scans, I must admit, I’m not really feeling it for this album. The two Nachi songs, Pictures in Decay, and Blow Us Apart are the only ones I’m really loving. It sucks that there’s no Itori this time around too, due to a death in the family if I recall.

その目で　見ないでよ　優しく　しないでよ
一人で　歩いてく　勇気が　揺らぐよ
今はただ　その手の　優しさが　痛くて
もう一度　もう一度　抱きしめて　あげたかったよ

sono me de minai de yo yasashiku shinai de yo
hitori de aruite ku yuuki ga yuragu yo
ima wa tada sono te no yasashisa ga itakute
mou ichido mou ichido daki shimete agetakatta yo

Don’t look at me with those eyes, don’t be so kind to me
My courage to walk on alone wavers
Right now the gentleness of your hand only hurts
Once more, just once more, I wanted to give you a hug

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember everlasting love
失った影　追いかけた　夕暮れ　沈む　歯車

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember everlasting love
ushinatta kage oi kaketa yuugure shizumu haguruma

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember everlasting love
I chased after the lost shadows, the gears sinking into sunset

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember I always remember
優しさに　傷つき　傷つけては　揺れる　蜃気楼

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember I always remember
yasashisa ni kizutsuki kizutsukete wa yureru shinkirou

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember I always remember
Getting hurt by the kindness and giving pain was a swaying mirage

照らされてた　大きな愛の光　なのに
守られてた　大きな　愛の歌に　なのに

terasareteta ooki na ai no hikari nanoni
mamorareteta ooki na ai no uta ni nanoni

Despite having been shined upon by love’s large light
Despite having been protected by a love’s large song

振り向いた　瞬間を　切り取る frame
笑顔の　意味を　照らしてた　独りきり
指差した　景色を　切り取る frame
歌い続ける　この Melody I will dedicate to you

furi muita shunkan o kiro toru frame
egao no imi o terashiteta hitori kiri
yubi sashita keshiki o kiri toru frame
utai tsudzukeru kono Melody I will dedicate to you

The frame cropping the moment you looked back
had lit up the meaning of your smile, all alone
The frame cropping the scene you pointed at
I will continue to sing, this melody I will dedicate to you

この目で　見たいけど　優しく　したいけど
一人で　歩いてく　勇気が　揺らぐよ
今はもう　遠くて　だけど　近すぎて
もう一度　もう一度　抱きしめて　欲しかったよ

kono me de mitai kedo yasashiku shitai kedo
hitori de aruite ku yuuki ga yuragu yo
ima wa mou tookute dakedo chika sugite
mou ichido mou ichido daki shimete hoshikatta yo

Though I want to look with my eyes, though I want to treat you nicely
my courage to walk on alone wavers
It’s far off by now, but it’s still too close
Once more, just once more, I wanted to you to hug me

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember everlasting love
失った声　探し続けていた　小さな　祈り

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember everlasting love
ushinatta koe sagashi tsudzuketeita chiisa na inori

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember everlasting love
My lost voice had continued to search for a small prayer

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember I always remember
優しさに　傷つき　傷つけては　滲む　蜃気楼

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember I always remember
yasashisa ni kizutsuki kizutsukete wa nijimu shinkirou

Happiness calls, but I let you down
I always remember I always remember
Getting hurt by the kindness and giving pain was a blurring mirage

許されてた　儚い愛の光　なのに
救われてた　儚い愛の歌に　なのに

yurusareteta hakanai ai no hikari nanoni
sukuwareteta hakanai ai no uta ni nanoni

Despite having been forgiven by a faint light of love
Despite having been rescued by a faint song of love

眩しいストロボに　浮かぶ frame
色褪せた　夢　照らしてたあの日へと
未来へ続いてる　愛しい frame
歌い続ける　この Melody I will dedicate to you

mabushii sutorobo ni ukabu frame
iro aseta yume terashiteta ano hi e to
mirai e tsudzuiteru itoshii frame
utai tsudzukeru kono Melody I will dedicate to you

The frame suspended in the bright strobe
had lit up my discoloured dream, to that day
Continuing toward the future, this lovely frame
I will continue to sing, this melody I will dedicate to you

Few errors in my by-ear transcription fixed, Nachi’s voice is not easy to transcribe. Man, the Alst album this time around sure is better than FLASHLIGHT, not to mention the original POP | CULTURE. I’m especially enjoying “Sensitive Crisis,” despite not normally being a fan of the style.

Note: I am not going to be spacing out Comiket 87 Alstroemeria Records translations. When I get lyrics for these, I am marathon posting right away. Same with ZYTOKINE, of course.

ここからは一人で　歩むことを誓う
君の手を離した　心離れずに
残された思い出　今も消えないでいるよ
すべてを塗り替えて　すべて白にして

koko kara wa hitori de ayumu koto o chikau
kimi no te o hanashita kokoro hanarezu ni
nokosareta omoide ima mo kienai de iru yo
subete o nuri kaete subete shiro ni shite

Vowing to walk on without you, all alone here on out
I let go of your hand without moving on emotionally
Even now I’m left unable to erase these left behind memories
Coat everything over, turn it all white

景色を白に変えて　リセットしたい心も
降り積もる雪のよう　心は重いままで
何度も叫んでいた　君の名を呼んでいた
それはひとつの終わり　後悔が積もるだけ

keshiki o shiro ni kaete risetto shitai kokoro mo
furi tsumoru yuki no you kokoro wa omoi mama de
nando mo sakendeita kimi no na o yondeita
sore wa hitotsu no owari koukai ga tsumoru dake

Turn the scenery all white, and the heart I want to reset
Just like a fresh layer of snow, my heart remains heavy
Over and over I shouted, called out your name
That was my single ending, and the regrets just pile up

これからは一人で　雪の中を歩く
暖かい君の手　今夜はもうない
残された思いは　少しずつ消えていくの
でもすべての記憶　雪が刻んでた

kore kara wa hitori de yuki no naka o aruku
atatakai kimi no te konya wa mou nai
nokosareta omoi wa sukoshi zutsu kiete yuku no
demo subete no kioku yuki ga kizandeta

From now on, I walk through the snow alone
Tonight I don’t have your warm hand to hold on to
Will my remaining thoughts disappear little by little?
All my memories are marked by the snow though

忘れたいこの想い　何度も思い出して
降り積もる雪はまた　私を惑わさせる
白い悪、そんな雪　私はそう思えた
それはひとつの終わり　忘れない胸の傷

wasuretai kono omoi nando mo omoi dashite
furi tsumoru yuki wa mata watashi o madowasaseru
shiroi aku sonna yuki watashi wa sou omoeta
sore wa hitotsu no owari wasurenai mune no kizu

I recall the memories I want to forget over and over
The snow falling at my feet causes me to lose my way again
“It’s white evil, that snow,” I considered it so
That was my single ending, the unforgettable scar in my heart

それでも降り続く　全てを白にして
私の心だけ　白にはなれないの
貴方を手放した　後戻りできない
何度も手を伸ばし　触れては解けてゆく

sore demo furi tsudzuku subete o shiro ni shite
watashi no kokoro dake shiro ni wa narenai no
anata o tebanashita ato modori dekinai
nando mo te o nobashi furete wa tokete yuku

It continues to snow anyways, turning everything white
Is my heart the only thing unable to turn white?
I let go of your hand, there’s no going back anymore
I reach my hand out countlessly, and it melts at a touch

このまま眠りたい　すべてを忘れたい
貴方といた記憶　それも溶かしたいの
触れては消える雪　消えないこの記憶
消えない消せないよ　白い雪の記憶

kono mama nemuritai subete o wasuretai
anata to ita kioku sore mo tokashitai no
furete wa kieru yuki kienai kono kioku
kienai kisenai yo shiroi yuki no kioku

I want to sleep as it is, I want to forget everything
The memories of being with you, I want those to melt too
Snow that melts at a touch, and my unfading memories
They won’t go, and I can’t make them
My white snow memories

Hypersonic Deadly Tour

Gonna be honest, I closed my eyes and ripped the Japanese lyrics straight off Kafka’s site so I could translate this one myself. One of my most anticipated tracks of the album, I haven’t heard Nachi’s voice do things so amazing since those “pi-hyarara”s from Alstroemeria’s “End of Daylight.” Definitely my most favourite arrange of Corpse Voyage. I’d like to say I’m ready to translate the rest of the album right away, but alas, I am still awaiting lyrics.

Notes: The album title is stylized so the D represents a 4, which, pronounced as “shi” in Japanese, is a homonym for death. Lyrics in (brackets) are transcribed by ear.

焼かれた　躯に　残されてる
かつて人だった　物の証
ようこそ　怖がらないで　おいで
新しい　地獄が　君を呼んでいるよ　いるよ

yakareta karada ni nokosareteru
katsute hito datta mono no akashi
youkoso kowagaranai de oide
atarashii sekai ga kimi o yondeiru yo iru yo

Left behind in their scorched corpses
proof of things that were once human
Welcome, don’t be afraid, come over
A new world of Hell is calling for you, for you

（行き来る回る　運命の歯車
ゆらゆら揺れる　魂の悲鳴に）

(iki kuru mawaru unmei no haguruma
yurayura yureru tamashii no himei ni)

(Coming and going, the gears of fate spin
to the screams of the swaying swaying souls)

Good night already
Aren’t the dancing shadows being burnt pretty?
Now, show me your dance, go on, hey, hurry

Soiled by their twisted hearts
memories of things once human
Welcome, come on over, don’t resist
The beautiful world of hell is calling for you, for you

焼かれる希望に　喜んで泣いている

There’s no such thing as good and evil in this world
I’ll turn all inequality and your sorrowful desires to ash after all
For souls sobbing with pleasure in hopes set afire
that’s right, this here is the last station

World Disorder

A story about someone who tried to hide their true self, and when they opened up, was rejected.

★ Title: World Disorder
☆ Album: >>>>
★ Album Artist: ZYTOKINE
☆ Vocals: Nachi Sakaue (坂上なち)
★ Arrangement and lyrics: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: The Lost Emotion (亡失のエモーション)
★ Website: http://zytokine-web.com/


ここで揺れる光　視線の先の闇
整ってるふりをしてる　世界のその終わり

koko de yureru hikari shisen no saki no yami
totonotteru furi o shiteru sekai no sono owari

The light swaying here, the darkness down my line of sight
Pretending to be prepared, it’s the end of the world

揺れる記憶　砕ける記憶　凍りつく記憶　燃える記憶
答えを探して　答えを消して　答えを燃やして　静かに眠れ

yureru kioku kudakeru kioku koori tsuku kioku moeru kioku
kotae o sagashite kotae o keshite kotae o moyashite shizuka ni nemure

Swaying memories, breaking memories, freezing memories, burning memories
Search for an answer, erase the answer, burn the answer, silently sleep

それでもどこか諦められないのは　仮面の向こう側　覚えているから
それでもどこか諦められないのは　素顔の向こう側　気づいているから

sore demo doko ka akiramerarenai no wa kamen no mukougawa oboeteiru kara
sore demo doko ka akiramerarenai no wa sugao no mukougawa kidzuiteiru kara

And yet, somewhere I can’t give up, because on the other side of the mask I remember
And yet, somewhere I can’t give up, because on the other side of my true face I’m aware

心　開いて　この手で壊せるのなら
二度と　その笑顔が　見えなくなるまで
心　開いて　何もかも　めちゃくちゃにしてまで
求めたのは　君の笑顔だけ

kokoro hiraite kono te de kowaseru no nara
nido to sono egao ga mienaku naru made
kokoro hiraite nani mo kamo mechakucha ni shite made
motometa no wa kimi no egao dake

If I can destroy with these hands and open my heart
it’ll be just until I become unable to see your smile again
Until I opened my heart and turned everything into a mess
the only thing that I sought was your smile

ここで融ける光　犠牲の先の闇
整ってるふりをしてる　世界のその終わり

koko de tokeru hikari gisei no saki no yami
totonotteru furi o shiteru sekai no sono owari

The light fading here, the darkness beyond the victims
Pretending to be prepared, it’s the end of the world

揺れる孤独　砕ける孤独　凍りつく孤独　燃える孤独
素顔を探して　素顔を消して　素顔を燃やして　静かに眠れ

yureru kodoku kudakeru kodoku koori tsuku kodoku moeru kodoku
sugao o sagashite sugao o keshite sugao o moyashite shizuka ni nemure

Swaying solitude, breaking solitude, freezing solitude, burning solitude
Search for a true face, erase the true face, burn the true face, silently sleep

それでもどこか　とても救いが無いのは
仮面の向こう側　信じていたから
それでもどこか　とても救いが無いのは
素顔の向こう側　気づいていたから

sore demo doko ka totemo sukui ga nai no wa
kamen no mukougawa shinjiteita kara
sore demo doko ka totemo sukui ga nai no wa
sugao no mukougawa kidzuiteita kara

And yet, somewhere it’s very hopeless
because on the other side of the mask I had believed
And yet, somewhere it’s very hopeless
because on the other side of my true face I had realized

心　砕いて　この眼に　映る世界で
たとえ　その笑顔が　歪んだとしても
心　砕いて　何もかも　めちゃくちゃにしてまで
求めたのは　僕の自由だけ

kokoro kudaite kono me ni utsuru sekai de
tatoe sono egao ga yuganda toshitemo
kokoro kudaite nani mo kamo mechakucha ni shite made
motometa no wa boku no jiyuu dake

In this heart breaking world reflected in my eyes
even if your smile was twisted
Until you broke my heart and turned everything into a mess
the only thing that I sought was my freedom

それでもなぜか　涙　止まらないのは
仮面の向こう側　笑っていたから
それでもなぜか　涙　止まらないのは
仮面の向こう側　わかっていたから

sore demo naze ka namida tomaranai no wa
kamen no mukougawa waratteita kara
sore demo naze ka namida tomaranai no wa
kamen no mukougawa wakatteita kara

And yet, for some reason the tears won’t stop
because on the other side of the mask I had smiled
And yet, for some reason the tears won’t stop
because on the other side of the mask I had understood

心　殺して　この手に残った物は
二度と　読まれない　ひび割れた喜劇
心　殺して　何もかも　めちゃくちゃにしてまで
求めたのは　誰の悲劇

kokoro koroshite kono te ni nokotta mono wa
nido to yomarenai hibi wareta sutoorii
kokoro koroshite nani mo kamo mechakucha ni shite made
motometa no wa dare no sutoorii

You killed my heart, and what remained left in my hands
was a shattered gag story never to be read again
Until you killed my heart and turned everything into a mess
the thing sought was whose tragic story?
