This is the third song titled “Regret” I’ve posted on this site.
I gained a new appreciation for this album, so I may also do Infinity Infinity and Avatar Control.

★ Title: Regret
☆ Album: 怪 -KAI-
★ Album Artist: SOUND HOLIC
☆ Vocals: aki
★ Arrangement and lyrics: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: Forbidden Magic (禁断の魔法　～ Forbidden Magic)

裏切りの色は　儚い色
その美しさに　震え続けてる
裏切りの色は　優しい色
その美しさに　怯え続けてる

uragiri no iro wa hakanai iro
sono utsukushisa ni furue tsudzuketeru
uragiri no iro wa yasashii iro
sono utsukushisa ni obie tsudzuketeru

The colour of betrayal is a fleeting colour
I’m continuing to tremble in it’s beauty
The colour of betrayal is a gentle colour
I’m continuing to be afraid of it’s beauty

傷をつけることさえ　もう何も感じない
どんな言葉も今は　響くことはない
だけど　だけど　だけど　汚したこの両手で

kizu o tsukeru koto sae mou nani mo kanjinai
donna kotoba mo ima wa hibiku koto wa nai
dakedo dakedo dakedo yogoshita kono ryoute de

Even when causing pain, nothing anymore do I feel
Now, no matter what words you say, there’s no sonority
However, however, however, with these two dirtied hands of mine

掴めたものなんて　何一つなかったね
歪んだ記憶が何度も蘇る
守れたものなんて　何一つなかったね
彷徨い続けて　どこへいけばいいのかな
どこへ…

tsukameta mono nante nani hitotsu nakatta ne
yuganda kioku ga nando mo yomigaeru
mamoreta mono nante nani hitotsu nakatta ne
samayoi tsudzukete doko e ikeba ii no kana
doko e…

there hasn’t been a single thing that I’ve been able to catch
Twisted memories revive countlessly
There hasn’t been a single thing that I’ve been able to protect
Continuing to roam, I wonder, just where should I go?
Where to…?

裏切りの声は　哀しい夢
その美しさに　焦がれ続けてる
裏切りの傷は　優しい棘
その美しさは　崩れ始めてる

uragiri no koe wa kanashii yume
sono utsukushisa ni kogare tsudzuketeru
uragiri no kizu wa yasashii toge
sono utsukushisa wa kuzure hajimeteru

The voice of betrayal is a sorrowful dream
I’m continuing to yearn for it’s beauty
The scar of betrayal is a gentle thorn
It’s beauty is beginning to collapse

優しかった声さえ　もう何も聞こえない
どんな光も今は　届くことはない
だけど　だけど　だけど　滲んだこの両目で

yasashikatta koe sae mou nani mo kikoenai
donna hikari mo ima wa todoku koto wa nai
dakedo dakedo dakedo nijinda kono ryoume de

Even the voice that was gentle, nothing anymore can I hear
Now, no matter what light there is, there’s no reaching me
However, however, however, with these two blurred eyes of mine

映せたものなんて　何一つなかったね
歪んだ景色が何度も蘇る
壊せたものなんて　何一つなかったね
失い続けて　何も償えないまま
どこへ…

utsuseta mono nante nani hitotsu nakatta ne
yuganda keshiki ga nando mo yomigaeru
kowaseta mono nante nani hitotsu nakatta ne
ushinai tsudzukete nani mo tsugunaenai mama
doko e…

there hasn’t been a single thing that I’ve been able to reflect
Twisted sceneries revive countlessly
There hasn’t been a single thing that I’ve been able to destroy
Continuing to lose, I remain unable to make up for anything
Where to…?

奪っては　奪われて
何一つ　残らないと　わかっていたのに
なのに　なのに　なのに　なのに

ubatte wa ubawarete
nani hitotsu nokoranai to wakatteita noni
nanoni nanoni nanoni nanoni

Stealing and being stolen from
Even though I understood there wouldn’t be a single thing left,
despite that, despite that, despite that, despite that,

掴めたものなんて　何一つなかったね
歪んだ記憶が何度も蘇る
守れたものなんて　何一つなかったね
彷徨い続けて　どこへいけばいいのかな
どこへ…

tsukameta mono nante nani hitotsu nakatta ne
yuganda kioku ga nando mo yomigaeru
mamoreta mono nante nani hitotsu nakatta ne
samayoi tsudzukete doko e ikeba ii no kana
doko e…

there hasn’t been a single thing that I’ve been able to catch
Twisted memories revive countlessly
There hasn’t been a single thing that I’ve been able to protect
Continuing to roam, I wonder, just where should I go?
Where to…?

More Sound Holic! This is a really solid album. I’m enjoying it a lot more than the last.
With all the < text like this > and English, this song didn’t make out for as smooth a translation as others, since I can’t shuffle things around as easily, resulting in butchered sentence structure. The worst of it is in the last three lines of the first stanza, but eh, what can you do?

非統一魔法世界論 | Un-Unified Magic World Theory

Another Dimensional Dream song! Lot’s of jargon in this one.
Not embedding the full song this time, but instead a PV, because it’s cool.

I thought I saw a translation of this somewhere before, but I couldn’t find it again, so here we are.

Notes: I disagree with the “official” title translation, “Disunified Field Theory of Magic,” personally, but you’ll commonly see that used.

”Crashin’ the Gate!!”

今　起こりうること
すべて受け入れてしまえば
何も恐くはない
そうでしょ？

ima okori uru koto
subete uke irete shimaeba
nani mo kowaku wa nai
sou desho?

If you completely accept
all that can possibly happen now
there’s nothing to be afraid of
Isn’t that right?

まだ　常識の檻に
囚われたままでいたなら
哀れな子羊ね

mada joushiki no ori ni
torawareta mama de ita nara
aware na kohitsuji ne

If I had remained still trapped
in the cage of common sense
wouldn’t I be a pitiful lamb

光の速さで　追い越すほどアツい加速
時空乱流　乗りこなして
タラレバの願望　辿り着けたら
夢見のリアル

hikari no hayasa de oi kosu hodo atsui kasoku
jikuu ranryuu nori konashite
tarareba no yokubou tadori tsuketara
yume mi no riaru

At the speed of light, with heated acceleration to the extent of going beyond
riding and breaking through space-time turbulance
when we can reach our hypothetical aspiration,
our dreamt reality

”可能性世界”　並行世界
”変性意識で”　通常意識で
”アクセスしてみたい”
Because I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

“kanousei sekai” heikou seikai
“hensei ishiki de” tsuujou ishiki de
“akusesu shite mitai”
Because I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

“The possible worlds” The parallel worlds
“with altered consciousness” with normal consciousness
“I want to try accessing them”
Because I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

”多世界解釈を”　矛盾解釈を
”抽象レべルで”　情報レべルで
”レイヤーしてみたら”
However…
Gonna be jus’ alright
Gonna be the greatest fate
パラレルの軌跡

“tasekai kaishaku o” mujun kaishaku o
“chuushou reberu de” jouhou reberu de”
“reiyaa shite mitara”
However…
Gonna be jus’ alright
Gonna be the greatest fate
parareru no kiseki

“The many-worlds interpretation” A paradoxical interpretation
“on the abstract level” on the information level
“I better try to layer it”
However…
Gonna be jus’ alright

ただ　心の中に
新たな宇宙が生まれて
消えて　また　生まれる
それだけ

tada kokoro no naka ni
arata na uchuu ga umarete
kiete mata umareru
sore dake

It’s just that in my heart
new universes are born
disappear and are born again
That’s all

異を唱える勇気で
嘲りの中を逞しく
生き抜いて来たから

i o tonaeru yuuki de
azakeri no naka o takamashiku
iki nuite kita kara

With the courage to challenge the norm
I boldly lived through the ridicule
and came here after all

歩き疲れた哀れな驢馬　サムい孤独
歪曲率　激化させて
デモシカの感情　辿り着けたら
夢見がリアル

aruki tsukareta aware na roba samui kodoku
waikyokuritsu gekika sasete
demoshika no kanjou tadori tsuketara
yumemi no riaru

Like a donkey tired from walking, in cold solitude
causing the distortion rate to intensify
when we can reach the only emotion to be had,
our dreamt reality

”多重次元世界”　余剰次元世界
”量子力学で”　波動力学で
”アナウンスしてみよう”
Of course, I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

“tajuu jigen sekai” yojuu jigen sekai
“ryoushirikigaku de” hadourikigaku de
“anaunsu shite miyou”
Of course, I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

“Multi-dimensional worlds” Extra dimensional worlds
“with quantum mechanics” with wave mechanics
“let’s try to announce it”
Of course, I…
Wanna get the true love
Wanna get to be myself

”演繹理論を”　帰納理論を
”天文レべルで”　素粒子レべルで
”アナライズしてみよう”
Whenever…
Gonna be jus’ alright
Gonna be the greatest fate
シリアルな履歴

“eneki riron o” kinou riron o
“tenmon reberu de” soryuushi reberu de
“ananraizu shite miyou”
Whenever…
Gonna be jus’ alright
Gonna be the greatest fate

“A deductive theory” An inductive theory
“on the astronomical level” on the elementary particle level
“let’s try to analyze it”
Whenever…

First of all, I have to say that the lyricist, Blue E, has some nice English. That final stanza is just great. Secondly, I love slow songs like this, though Yurika generally does more hardcore ones.

Notes: The sephirot is this thing, basically the Jewish tree of life, if I understand correctly.

Dreamin’ 微睡むように
Breathin’ 囁くように
星の行方が証すのは
愛の理の儚さ

Dreamin’ madoromu you ni
Breathin’ sasayaku you ni
hoshi no yukue ga akasu no wa
ai no kotowari no hakanasa

Dreaming, as if in a slumber
Breathin’, as if whispering
It is the transience of logic in love
that the whereabouts of the stars prove

遥か古の不可思議な調べを
月明かりの下で呟くだけ

haruka ishinie no fukashigi na shirabe o
tsuki akari no shita de tsubuyaku dake

I merely mutter a mystical song
from days long past under the moonlight

I’ll give my heart to my belief 灯すは気高き焔
幾つもの幻が浮かび消えて逝く
誰も気づけない手掛かりを手繰り寄せて
描き出すセフィロト　罪深き性 seeds of life

I’ll give my heart to my belief tomosu wa kedakaki honoo
ikutsu mo no maboroshi ga ukabi kiete yuku
dare mo kidzukenai tegakari o taguri yosete
egaki dasu sefiroto tsumibukaki saga seeds of life

I’ll give my heart to my belief, I’ll light flames of nobility
Countless numbers of apparitions float up, disappear, and die
I reel in a clue that nobody is able to notice
The sephirot that draws forth, grave sin in nature, seeds of life

風が景色を揺らして　永遠の誓いを霞ませた

kaze ga keshiki o yurashite towa no chikai o kasumaseta

The wind rocked the scenery, caused this eternal vow to grow hazy

禁じられた術　偽りの生命を
人形に宿して操るだけ

kinjirareta sube itsuwari no inochi o
hitogata ni yadoshite ayatsuru dake

It’s a forbidden art, to merely puppeteer a human shaped doll
with an artificial life conceived within

I miss my love for my soul 閉ざした記憶の欠片
彷徨える魂が拉がれて歪む
誰も応えず　冷たい笑みを浮かべて
創り出すレプリカ　愛すべき業 art of words

I miss my love for my soul tozashita kioku no kakera
samayoeru tamashii ga hishigarete yugamu
dare mo kotaezu tsumetai emi o ukabete
tsukuri dasu repurika aisu beki waza art of words

I miss my love for my soul, the locked fragments of my memory
My wandering soul, being crushed, twists
Nobody responding, wearing a cold smile
A replica that creates forth, a lovable work, art of words

ああ　心が孤独な旅路の果てに
辿り着く物語　抱き締めて

aa kokoro ga kodoku na tabiji no hate ni
tadori tsuku monogatari daki shimete

Ah, embracing the story of my heart struggling
on to the ends of a solitary journey,

I’ll give my heart to my belief 灯すは気高き焔
幾つもの幻が浮かび消えて逝く
誰も気づけない手掛かりを手繰り寄せて
描き出すセフィロト　罪深き性 seeds of life

I’ll give my heart to my belief tomosu wa kedakaki honoo
ikutsu mo no maboroshi ga ukabi kiete yuku
dare mo kidzukenai tegakari o taguri yosete
egaki dasu sefiroto tsumibukaki saga seeds of life

I’ll give my heart to my belief, I’ll light flames of nobility
Countless numbers of apparitions float up, disappear, and die
I reel in a clue that nobody is able to notice
The sephirot that draws forth, grave sin nature, seeds of life

An imitation life that is without a light
Nobody could save my pain, so I’ve given up
I am a lonely mage who is just in a maze
Nothing heals or cures my forever loneliness
