Blaze of Glory

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.

Wanna dream on the dream
Still it be the real (Yes, we can)
高く高く天空へと舞い上がれ

Wanna dream on the dream
Still it be the real (Yes, we can)
takaku takaku sora e to mai agare

Wanna dream on the dream
Still it be the real (Yes, we can)
Fly up and up high into the sky

翼広げ羽撃く Take off right away
誰も知らぬ世界へ翔けてゆけ (get high and high)
母なる地球 旅立ち 夢の果てへ
月の女神が照らす勇者たちの物語

tsubasa hiroge habataku Take off right away
dare mo shiranu sekai e kakete yuke (get high and high)
haha naru hoshi tabidachi yume no hate e
tsuki no megami ga terasu yuusha tachi no sutoorii

Spread your wings, flap them and take off right away
Fly off to a world nobody knows (get high and high)
Leaving Mother Earth and heading towards a dream world
it’s the story of the heroes that the moon’s goddess shines upon

ああ 遥か古の人は夜空を見上げ
神々の山嶺に 憧れを抱いた

aa haruka inishie no hito wa yozora o mi age
kamigami no itadaki ni akogare o idaita

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

そう 流れ星にただ 願いを掛けるよりも
今こそ この手で to find the truth

sou nagareboshi ni tada negai o kakeru yori mo
ima koso kono te de to find the truth

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

響き合う存在が 祈りを力に変える
魔法と科学を重ねて Dream on the dream!

hibiki au kizuna ga inori o chikara ni kaeru
mahou to kagaku o kasanete Dream on the dream!

Resonating bonds transform prayers into power
Overlapping magic and science, dream on the dream!

翼広げ羽撃く Take off right away
誰も知らぬ世界へ翔けてゆけ (get high and high)
母なる地球 旅立ち 夢の果てへ
月の女神が照らす勇者たちの物語

tsubasa hiroge habataku Take off right away
dare mo shiranu sekai e kakete yuke (get high and high)
haha naru hoshi tabidachi yume no hate e
tsuki no megami ga terasu yuusha tachi no sutoorii

Spread your wings, flap them and take off right away
Fly off to a world nobody knows (get high and high)
Leaving Mother Earth and heading towards a dream world
it’s the story of the heroes that the moon’s goddess shines upon

ああ 星屑の銀河 進む船の航路は
深淵の暗闇と 常に隣り合わせ

aa hoshikuzu no ginga susumu fune no kouro wa
shinen no kurayami to tsune ni tonari awase

Ah, in a galaxy of stardust, the course a ship sails
is always side by side to the darkness of the abyss

そう 孤独と言う名の妖魔が囁いて
絶望の渦へ fall in the dark

sou kodoku to iu na no ayakashi ga sasayaite
zetsubou no uzu e fall in the dark

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

積み上げた奇跡を 心の奥に刻んで
躊躇いを掻き消すだけ The future is mine!

tsumi ageta kiseki o kokoro no oku ni kizande
tamerai o kaki kesu dake The future is mine!

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

光弾け 目醒める Fly fast go ahead
固く強い誓いで 打ち砕け (get high and high)
忘れがたき よすがの緑の故郷
きっと必ず此処で また奏で合う旋律

hikari hajike mezameru Fly fast go ahead
kataku tsuyoi chikai de uchi kudake (get high and high)
wasuregataki yosuga no midori no hoshi
kitto kanarazu koko de mata kanade au melody

Bursting with light, wake up and fly fast go ahead
Crush it with your unbreakable promise (get high and high)
Our home planet of unforgettable, nostalgic greenery
Surely, without fail, we’ll play here again – this melody

苦しみや哀しみはいつも
未来へ繋がるメッセージ
新しい自分を目指して 戦いに挑みゆけ

kurushimi ya kanashimi wa itsu mo
ashita e tsunagaru messeeji
atarashii jibun o mezashite tatakai ni idomi yuke

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

翼広げ羽撃く Take off right away
誰も知らぬ世界へ翔けてゆけ (get high and high)
母なる地球 旅立ち 夢の果てへ
月の女神が照らす 栄光掴み取る
勇者たちの物語

tsubasa hiroge habataku Take off right away
dare mo shiranu sekai e kakete yuke (get high and high)
haha naru hoshi tabidachi yume no hate e
tsuki no megami ga terasu eikou tsukami toru
yuusha tachi no sutoorii

Spread your wings, flap them and take off right away
Fly off to a world nobody knows (get high and high)
Leaving Mother Earth and heading towards a dream world
it’s the story of the heroes that the moon’s goddess shines upon
about taking hold of glory

Red Tears Doll

This album really is good. I was originally planning on doing Infinity Infinity after this and calling it a wrap, but I might do 乙女桜♡Graduation too. It’s long, but it looks pretty fun.

生まれてからずっと この体を与えられ戦ってきたの でも
受け売りな形に疑問符が付いてから 空回りしてた

umarete kara zutto kono karada o ataerare tatakatte kita no demo
uke uri na katachi ni gimonfu ga tsuite kara karamawari shiteta

Ever since being born and given this body, I’ve always fought,
but after questioning this second hand form, it’s been futile

存在価値が何なのか 答えが見いだせない
あの闇の扉から差す光の行方は

sonzai kachi ga nan nano ka kotae ga mii dasenai
ano yami no tobira kara sasu hikari no yukue wa

What value does my life hold? I can’t find out an answer
As to where the light at the end of the tunnel is

Red Tears 流れた瞳が映した世界で 生かされていた窮屈な場所
もしも許されるなら夢を持ちたい 胸に高鳴るという情熱
口に出来ない憧れ抱いて 明日のページに そっとしたためた

Red Tears nagareta hitomi ga utsushita sekai de ikasareteita kyuukutsu na basho
moshi mo yurusareru nara yume o mochitai mune ni takanaru to iu jounetsu
kuchi ni dekinai akogare daite asu no peeji ni sotto shitatameta

In the world that the eyes that shed red tears reflects, I was made use of in close quarters
If I am permitted, I want to have dreams, passion that races through my heart
Embracing a yearning that I can’t put into words, gently I wrote on the page of tomorrow

押し殺す気持ちに終止符を 真っ直ぐに想いをぶつけた

oshi korosu kimochi ni shuushifu o massugu ni omoi o butsuketa

I put an end to my stifled feelings and directly released how I felt

存在意義に逆らって この外を見てみたい
どうか勇気を下さい 一歩踏み出す強さを

sonzai igi ni sakarette kono soto o mite mitai
douka yuuki o kudasai ippo fumi dasu tsuyosa o

I want to go against my life’s purpose, and try seeing what’s outside
Please, give me courage and strength to take the first step

Red Tears 溢れた涙で染まった心に 新たな意思が芽生え始めた
時に争う事が辛く苦しい 役に立たない罪の感情
抑えきれない欲望の果て サヨナラの文字 赤く滲んでく

Red Tears afureta namida de somatta kokoro ni arata na ishi ga mebae hajimeta
toki ni arasou koto ga tsuraku kurushii yaku ni natanai tsumi no kanjou
osae kirenai yokubou no hate sayonara no moji akaku nijinde ku

In my heart, stained by overflowing red tears, a new will began to sprout
Fighting every now and then is painfully strenuous, I feel sin for abandoning my duty
At the end of irrepressible desire, the letters of goodbye bleed red

存在意義に逆らって この外を見てみたい
どうか勇気を下さい 一歩踏み出す強さを

sonzai igi ni sakarette kono soto o mite mitai
douka yuuki o kudasai ippo fumi dasu tsuyosa o

I want to go against my life’s purpose, and try seeing what’s outside
Please, give me courage and strength to take the first step

So Sad あなたと過ごした思い出大事に 胸に仕舞って生きて行こうと
No Fears 自由を手にする喜び 自ら初めて選び満たされてゆく
けして許されない道だと知っても きっと未来に後悔はない
与えてくれた恩義を抱いて 過去のページに そっとしたためた
時に争う事が辛くて 役に立てずに不甲斐無かった
抑えきれない欲望の果て サヨナラの文字 書き残し去った Forever

So Sad anata to sugoshita omoide daiji ni mune ni shimatte ikite yukou to
No Fears jiyuu o te ni suru yorokobi mizukara hajimete erabi mitasarete yuku
keshite yurusarenai michi da to shittemo kitto mirai ni koukai wa nai
ataete kureta ongi o daite kako no peeji ni sotto shitatameta
toki ni arasou koto ga tsurakute yaku ni tatezu ni fugai nakatta
osae kirenai yokubou no hate sayonara no moji kaki nokoshi satta Forever

So Sad, I vow to live on with the precious memories of time I spent with you in my heart
No Fears, having chosen for myself for the first time, I’m filled with the joy of freedom
Even though it’s a road that’s absolutely unpermitted, I’m sure I won’t regret this in the future
Embracing the debt that I owe you, gently I write on the page of yesterday
Fighting every now and then is painful, it was cowardly to abandon my duty
At the end of irrepressible desire, the letters of goodbye, I leave written behind forever

Synchronizing magnificently with an avatar body
On the mark, our breaths align and our souls become one

Crystals of exertion scatter into five colours
Continue to whip my wearing out body

“Lost in space” and “Oceanic blue” have already been translated by Kaf, so I don’t see much more from this album I’ll translate besides perhaps “beyond the stars.”

“Forever love”

そう 初めて貴方と 出会ってからどれくらい
ああ 木屋町通は 五回目の桜

sou hajimete anata to de atte kara dore kurai
aa kiyamachi toori wa gokaime no sakura

Yes, how long has it been since I first met you
Ah, in Kiyamachi Street, it’s the fifth time for cherry blossoms

秘密のチケットで 夜風が誘うわ
緩やかに歪みだした景色の中

himitsu no chiketto de yokaze ga sasou wa
yuruyaka ni hizumi dashita keshiki no naka

With a secret ticket, the night’s wind lures us
into a scenery that’s begun to loosely distort

月灯りに 二人の影が伸びて
夢の世界のドアが開く
生まれ変わっても また一緒だよ
繋ぎ合った手 永遠のハーモニー

tsukiakari ni futari no kage ga nobite
yume no sekai no doa ga hiraku
umare kawattemo mata issho da yo
tsunagi atta te towa no haamonii

Our shadows extend in the moonlight
and the door to a world of dreams opens up
Even if we’re reborn, we’ll be together again
With hands together, it’s eternal harmony

“Forever love”

そう 瞼に浮かぶは 数えきれない想い出
ああ 独りきり歩く 鴨川の岸辺

sou mabuta ni ukabu wa kazoe kirenai omoide
aa hitorikiri aruku kamogawa no kishibe

Yes, when I close my eyes, I see countless memories
Ah, all alone I walk along Kamokawa’s shore

別れの季節が来るよりも早く
運命が二人の手を解いたけど

wakare no kisetsu ga kuru yori mo hayaku
unmei ga futari no te hodoita kedo

Even faster than the coming of the season of parting
fate untied both of our hands, although

流れ星に 願いの涙捧げ
お伽話のページめくる
奇跡の出会いは 未来の神話
甦る微笑みのシンフォニー

nagareboshi ni negai no namida sasage
otogibanashi no peeji mekuru
kiseki no deai wa mirai no shinwa
yomigaeru hohoemi no shinfonii

Offering wishful tears to a shooting star
we’ll flip the page of the fairy tail
This miraculous meeting will be a future legend
A reviving smile’s symphony

時を越えて 何度でも巡り逢う
広い宇宙に輝く銀河の果てで

toki o koete nando demo meguri au
hiroi uchuu ni kagayaku ginga no hate de

Exceeding time, we’ll meet as much as it takes
at the ends of the galaxy sparkling in the vast cosmos

月灯りに 二人の影が溶けて
夢の世界の色に染まる
うわ言のような呪文唱えて
曖昧な現実を滲ませて

tsukiakari ni futari no kage ga tokete
yume no sekai no iro ni somaru
uwagoto no you na jumon tonaete
aimai na ima o nijimasete

Our shadows melt in the moonlight
and are tinted in the colour of a world of dreams
Chant a delirious spell,
and cause this vague moment of reality to blur

溢れ出す願いの涙捧げ
お伽話のページめくる
奇跡の出会いは 未来の神話
甦る微笑みのシンフォニー

afure dasu negai no namida sasage
otogibanashi no peeji mekuru
kiseki no deai wa mirai no shinwa

Offering overflowing wishful tears
we’ll flip the page of the fairy tail
