Wonder Wonder

For some reason, I get the image of Christmas when listening to this. I still have to wonder what it means exactly by “Lets try to transcend the future technology”.

九十九の世界 | tsukumo no sekai | Tsukumo World

It feels slightly clunky, but I think it turned out alright. More confidence with it than “bEAT GATHER” at least. The lyrics are pretty great and full of hype here, but “Maze” is still my favourite from the album I think.

Notes: SO apparently the kanji for the name Tsukumo is actually 九十九, while I had thought that it literally translated to mean Ninety-nine this whole time. Yup, that means this post had to go fixed right up a bunch.

ああ 暗黒の魔力で 熱き覚醒を
瞬間 奏でよ
契は血より強く
二人の夢を重ねた

aa yami no chikara de atsuki mezame o
ima kanadeyo
chikiri wa chi yori tsuyoku
futari no yume o kasaneta

Ah, with the magic of darkness, in a moment
play the feverous awakening
Fate is stronger than blood
Both of our dreams have overlapped together

ああ 永遠に等しき 時間の旋律を
刹那 奏でよ
光の弦を弾き
艶やかな音を重ねた 幾重も

aa towa ni hitoshiki toki no shirabe o
ima kanadeyo
hikari no tsuru o hajiki
adeyaka na ne o kasaneta ikue mo

Ah, the melody of time is forever similar,
for a moment play it now

Plucking the strings of light
a glorious sound overlapped, overtoned

そう 使役の理
運命を覆せ 今こそ

sou shieki no kotowari
sadame o kutsugaese ima koso

Yes, it’s the way of cause and effect
overthrow fate, now is the time

張り裂けるほどに
九十九の願望が甦る夜に
憧れの世界を 描く歌を 紡ぐ歌を
何時迄も 唄い続けて
二つの願望が宿る歌を
ただ 繰り返すだけさ

hari sakeru hodo ni
tsukumo no negai ga yomigaeru yoru ni
akogare no sekai o egaku uta o tsumugu uta o
itsu made mo utai tsudzukete
futatsu no negai ga yadoru uta o
tada kurikaesu dake sa

To the point of bursting open
during the night when the desires of the Tsukumo resurrect
Forever continue to sing the song that designs, that weaves
the world that we yearn for
We’ll only just repeat and repeat
the song that our wishes live in

ああ 透ける陰影に その眼凝らして
現在 奏でよ
祈祷を虚空に放ち
厳かな音を重ねた 幾度も

aa sukeru katachi ni sono me korashite
ima kanadeyo
inori o sora ni hanachi
ogosoka na ne o kasaneta ikudo mo

Ah, focus those eyes of yours at the transparent shadows
and now play the music
Firing off our wishes into the clear sky
a majestic sound overlapped, with frequency

そう 奇跡の矛先
生命を取り戻せ 今こそ

sou kiseki no hokosaki
inochi o tori modose ima koso

Yes, it’s a spearheard of miracles
take back and regain life, now is the time

駆り立てるほどに
九十九の野心が燃え上がる夜に
憧れの未来を 描く歌を 紡ぐ歌を
何処迄も 唄い続けて
二つの野心が宿る歌を
ただ 響かせるだけさ

kari tateru hodo ni
tsukumo no negai ga moe agaru yoru ni
akogare no mirai o egaku uta o tsumugu uta o
doko made mo utai tsudzukete
futatsu no negai ga yadoru uta o
tada hibikaseru dake sa

To the point of impelling
during the night when aspirations of the Tsukumo flare up
No matter where, continue to sing the song that designs, that weaves
the future that we yearn for
We’ll only just make it resound
the song our ambitions reside in

運命を覆せ 今こそ

Maze

♪I’m a wonderer of love, wandering about love♪

I don’t think I’ve encountered a song with such a gripping beginning before. 3L’s beautiful voice just grabs you right from the start. This is a pretty straightforward song, so no exposition needed here.

I’m a wonderer of love 愛に彷徨う
月明かりよ 僕を照らして
笹の葉さらさら 静かに揺れるメロディ
My lonely fate

I’m a wonderer of love ai ni samayou
tsuki akari yo boku o terashite
sasa no ha sarasara shizuka ni yureru merodi
My lonely fate

I’m a wonderer of love, wandering about love
Oh moonlight, shine down upon me
The bamboo grass rustles, a melody that quietly sways
My lonely fate

風が悪戯に 傷を逆撫でる
優しい虫の音が そっと慰める

kaze ga itazura ni kizu o sakanaderu
yasashii mushi no ne ga sotto nagusameru

The wind mischievously irritates my wounds
The gentle calls of the bugs softly comforts me

目に視えない者たちが
大事な手掛かりを示してくれてるの
そんなスピリチュアル

me ni mienai monotachi ga
daiji na tekakari o shimeshite kureteru no
sonna supirichuaru

I wonder if the people that I can not see are
pointing out an important clue for me
That’s spiritual!

I’m a wonderer of love 愛に彷徨う
月明かりよ 僕を照らして
笹の葉さらさら 静かに揺れるメロディ
My lonely fate

I’m a wonderer of love ai ni samayou
tsuki akari yo boku o terashite
sasa no ha sarasara shizuka ni yureru merodi
My lonely fate

I’m a wonderer of love, wandering about love
Oh moonlight, shine down upon me
The bamboo grass rustles, a melody that quietly sways
My lonely fate

I’m just in a bamboo grove 夜に彷徨う
浮き沈みの激しい気持ちで
貴女の面影 胸に抱き締めて 廻る愛の迷路

I’m just in a bamboo grove yoru ni samayou
uki shizumi no hageshii kimochi de
anata no omokage mune ni daki shimete meguru ai no meiro

I’m just in a bamboo grove, roaming in the night
With my rising and falling feelings
I’ll hold close to my chest those traces of you, surrounded by this maze of love

雨が気紛れに 夢を滲ませる
濡れた土の香が そっと包み込む

ame ga kimagure ni yume o nijimaseru
nureta tsuchi no ka ga sotto tsutsumi komu

The rain on a whim causes my dreams to blur
Gently I’m wrapped up by the scent of the wet earth

縛られない者たちが
甘い囁きで導いてくれるの
そんなアンリアル

shibararenai monotachi ga
amai sasayaki de michibiite kureru no
sonna anriaru

Will those unbound people
show me the way with their sweet whispers for me?
That’s unreal!

I’m a wonderer of love 愛を求めて
月明かりに 心浸して
満ちる輝きに 願いを込めたメモリー
My only phrase

I’m a wonderer of love ai o motomete
tsuki akari ni kokoro hitashite
michiru kagayaki ni negai o kometa memorii
My only phrase

I’m a wonderer of love, searching for my own love
I soak my heart in the moonlight
My memory is loaded with wishes to that waxing radiance
My only phrase

I’m a wonderer of love 愛に彷徨う
月明かりよ 僕を照らして
笹の葉さらさら 静かに揺れるメロディ
My lonely fate

I’m a wonderer of love ai ni samayou
tsuki akari yo boku o terashite
sasa no ha sarasara shizuka ni yureru merodi
My lonely fate

I’m a wonderer of love, wandering about love
Oh moonlight, shine down upon me
The bamboo grass rustles, a melody that quietly sways
My lonely fate

I’m just in a bamboo grove 夜に彷徨う
浮き沈みの激しい気持ちで
貴女の面影 胸に抱き締めて 廻る愛の迷路

I’m just in a bamboo grove yoru ni samayou
uki shizumi no hageshii kimochi de
anata no omokage mune ni daki shimete meguru ai no meiro

I’m just in a bamboo grove, roaming in the night
With my rising and falling feelings
I’ll hold close to my chest those traces of you, surrounded by this maze of love

ふっと見上げたら 迫る満月が 誘う愛の迷路

futto mi agetara semaru mangetsu ga izanau ai no meiro

When you suddenly look up you’ll see the approaching full moon inviting you to the maze of love

Turn left, right, Search for the exit
Try to learn, and try to forget
Let me go, give me the answer
I just want, I just want your love
