SOUND HOLIC

bEAT GATHER

My Zytokine inclinations have led me to translate this.
This seems like the kind of song that could have quite a few different interpretations. As I’ve said before, I’m not all too familiar with the DDC cast, but if I recall, Raiko is the one who was a tsukumogami right? So I imagined this song being about her birth and such. It sounds almost as if she’s trying to validate her existence, and it also sounds like she wants to unite the world, with the whole “be together bEAT GATHER” thing.

Notes: Lots of wordplay going on in this song.

揺れる月の　光の影に　照らされる　美しさへと
人の嘆きと憂いの影が　今　再び　重なるようだ

yureru tsuki no hikari no kage ni terasareru utsukushisa e to
hito no nageki to urei no kage ga ima futatabi kasanaru you da

Towards this beauty lit up by the light of the swaying moon
It seems like the shadows of people’s grief and gloom are piling up once again

忘れたまま　知らないふりして　生きる事は　赦されても
刻む鼓動は　忘れることはない　過ぎた命の　眩しさを

wasureta mama shiranai furi shite ikiru koto wa yurusaretemo
kizamu kodou wa wasureru koto wa nai sugita inochi no mabushisa o

As I’ve forgotten, I act clueless, even if I’m forgiven for coming to life
My ticking heartbeat will not forget the dazzling life that’s passed by

こぼれ落ちていく　（響くリズムが揺さぶる影に）
重ねあう２つの音（答えはまだみえないまま）

kobore ochite yuku (hibiku rizumu ga yusaburu kage ni)
kasane au futatsu no oto (kotae wa mada mienai mama)

Spilling and falling over (to the shadows shaken by the resounding rhythm)
The two sounds come to stack together (as the answer still can not be seen)

今さらなんだって　灰になったって　塵になったって　いいじゃない
前を向いたって　後ろ向いたって　また迷ったって　いいじゃない
だからこの　beat　心に　響かせたいのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

imasara nandatte hai ni natta tte gomi ni natta tte ii janai
mae o muita tte ushiro muita tte mata mayotta tte ii janai
dakara kono beat kokoro ni hibikasetai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

That it’s been so long I’ve turned to ashes and became trash, isn’t that fine?
That I was turning back and forth and got lost again, isn’t that fine?
So I want to make this beat resonate in your heart
be together “bEAT GATHER”

飛ばしたいんだって　ハイになったって　何になったって　いいじゃない
何が好きかって　大事だったって　無くしちゃったって　いいじゃない
だから　この　beat　この手で　刻んでいたいのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

tobashitai n datte hai ni natta tte nan ni natta tte ii janai
nani ga suki ka tte daiji datta tte nakushi chatta tte ii janai
dakara kono beat kono te de kizandeitai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

I wanted to send something off, so it went high, whatever it became, isn’t that fine?
Whatever I like or found important or ended up losing, isn’t it fine?
So I want to engrave this beat with my own hands
be together “bEAT GATHER”

落ちる月の　光の糸を　手繰り寄せては　ひび割れて
人の炎に沈んだ闇が　今　再び　絡まるようだ

ochiru tsuki no hikari no ito o taguri yosete wa hibiwarete
hito no honoo ni shizunda yami ga ima futatabi karamaru you da

Pulling in the strings of the sinking moon’s light, a crack developed
It seems like the darkness sunk in the passion of people is entwined here once again

ここで溶けていく　（響くリズムが揺さぶる影に）
不確かな２つの音（終わりはまだみえないまま）

koko de tokete yuku (hibiku rizumu ga yusaburu kage ni)
futashika na futatsu no oto (owari wa mada mienai mama)

Melting away right here (to the shadows shaken by the resounding rhythm)
The two sounds are unclear (as the end still can not be seen)

星に願ったって　振り返ったって　心許したって　いいじゃない
全て夢だったって　独り泣いたって　目を覚ましたって　いいじゃない
だから　この　beat　世界に　響かせたいのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

hoshi ni negatta tte furi kaetta tte kokoro yurushita tte ii janai
subete yume datta tte hitori naita tte me o samashita tte ii janai
dakara kono beat sekai ni hibikasetai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

That I wished upon stars and looked back on myself and forgave my heart, isn’t that fine?
That everything was a dream and I cried alone and opened my eyes, isn’t that fine?
So I want to make this beat resonate throughout the world
be together “bEAT GATHER”

壊したいんだって　ハイになったって　傷ついたって　いいじゃない
みんな好き勝手　道化なんだって　だからなんだって　いいじゃない
だから　この　beat　心に　刺さって痛いのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

kowashitai n datte hai ni natta tte kizutuita tte ii janai
minna suki katte douke nanda tte dakara nanda tte ii janai
dakara kono beat kokoro ni sasatte itai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

I want to destroy, and so it all went up high and became hurt, isn’t that fine?
Everyone’s doing as they please, they’re up to trouble, so who cares, isn’t it fine?
So I want this beat to be pierced in your heart though it hurts
be together “bEAT GATHER”

悲しささえ追いつけない　正しささえ追いつけない
世界まで　未来まで　届くなら　響くならさ
何度でも言うよ be together be together…

kanashisa sae oitsukenai tadashisa sae oitsukenai
sekai made mirai made todoku nara hibiku nara
nando demo iu yo be together be together…

I can’t even overtake this sorrow, nor can I even keep up with what is right
Far through the world, throughout the future, if it’ll reach, if it’ll be heard
no matter how many times it’ll take, I’ll say be together be together…

今さらなんだって　灰になったって　塵になったって　いいじゃない
前を向いたって　後ろ向いたって　また迷ったって　いいじゃない
だからこの　beat　心に　響かせたいのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

imasara nandatte hai ni natta tte gomi ni natta tte ii janai
mae o muita tte ushiro muita tte mata mayotta tte ii janai
dakara kono beat kokoro ni hibikasetai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

That it’s been so long I’ve turned to ashes and became trash, isn’t that fine?
That I was turning back and forth and got lost again, isn’t that fine?
So I want to make this beat resonate in your heart
be together “bEAT GATHER”

飛ばしたいんだって　ハイになったって　何になったって　いいじゃない
何が好きかって　大事だったって　無くしちゃったって　いいじゃない
だから　この　beat　この手で　刻んでいたいのさ
be together “bEAT GATHER”

tobashitai n datte hai ni natta tte nan ni natta tte ii janai
nani ga suki ka tte daiji datta tte nakushi chatta tte ii janai
dakara kono beat kono te de kizandeitai no sa
be together “bEAT GATHER”

I wanted to send something off, so it went high, whatever it became, isn’t that fine?
Whatever I like or found important or ended up losing, isn’t it fine?
So I want to engrave this beat with my own hands

Requested by Kii. This was a long one, but it sure was worth it! I’m going to be addicted to this for a long time.

A few notes: For some reason, there are a few changes between the booklet and the sung song, such as 空間 becoming 世界, and the absence of 星 in a few lines, but overall there’s not much of an impact to it.

Now, back to enjoying the music~

★ Title: Panoramic Spectra
☆ Album: 夢 -YUME-
★ Album Artist: SOUND HOLIC
☆ Vocals: Nana Takahashi (高橋菜々)
★ Lyrics and arrangement: Linjin (隣人)
☆ Original Title: Starbow Dream (スターボウドリーム)

 

時空　夢　揺れる　視界
観たい　夢　その行く先
時空　夢　照らす　光
君の　夢　その行く先

jikuu yume yureru shikai
mitai yume sono yuku saki
jikuu yume terasu hikari
kimi no yume sono yuku saki

A dimensional dream, my vision shakes
A dream I’d like to observe, that’s the destination
A dimensional dream, a shining light
Your dream, that’s the destination

まだ探してる零度の先眠る
金の色を待つ星を抱いた宇宙
今でもどこかに咲いているパノラマ
今でも何かを探してる星雨の中

mada sagashiteru reido no saki nemuru
kin no iro o matsu hoshi o daita uchuu
ima demo doko ka ni saiteiru panorama
ima demo nani ka o sagashiteru ame no naka

Still I search for what rests beyond absolute zero
The cosmos embrace the star waiting for gold
Even now, somewhere a panorama is blooming
Even now, searching for something in the rain of stars

響く歌滲む視界それさえももう幻
それでも響く歌のその先の描く未来を辿る旅
広がる　Ｐａｎｏｒａｍｉｃ　Ｓｐｅｃｔｒａ

hibiku uta nijimu shikai sore sae mo mou maboroshi
sore demo hibiku uta no sono saki no egaku mirai o tadoru tabi
hirogaru Panoramic Spectra

An echoing song, or a blurry field of view, even those are now illusions
Even so I will pursue this path, a future that draws beyond an echoing song
into a vast panoramic spectra

いらないよその　ｈｅｓｉｔａｔｉｏｎ　壊すのは　ｗｈｏｓｅ　ｄｏｍｉｎａｔｉｏｎ？
今速さを超えて向かう　ｔａｋｅ　ｏｆｆ！
君を待つ　ａｎｏｔｈｅｒ　ｅｖｏｌｕｔｉｏｎ　壊すのは　ｓｙｓｔｅｍｓ　ｏｆ　ｙｏｕｒｓｅｌｆ
さあ古い記憶は捨てて　ｍｏｖｅ　ｏｎ！

iranai yo sono hesitation kowasu no wa whose domination?
ima hayasa o koete mukau take off!
kimi o matsu another evolution kowasu no wa systems of yourself
saa furui kioku wa sutete move on!

We don’t need that hesitation, what will we destroy, whose domination?
Now heading beyond the speed of light, take off!
Waiting for you, another evolution, it’ll destroy systems of yourself
Come now, throw away your old memories and move on!

揺れる　その手を　重ねて　（振りほどいて）
星も　涙も　並べて　（何が見える）
透ける　言葉に　預けて　（心の色）
声に　ならない　想いを　（求めている）

yureru sono te o kasanete (furi hodoite)
hoshi mo namida mo narabete (nani ga mieru)
sukeru kotoba ni azukete (kokoro no iro)
koe ni naranai omoi o (motometeiru)

Take those stirring hands and once more (shake yourself free)
Lining up the stars and tears (What do you see?)
Leaving in the care of clear words (the colour of your heart)
The feelings that you won’t put into words (seeking them)

過ぎる　景色は　七色　（眩しいのに）
小さな　その手で　かかげて　（力になる）
君は　微かに　笑って　（手を握って）
宇宙の　隙間に　まぎれて　（消えて行った）

sugiru keshiki wa nana iro (mabushii noni)
chiisa na sono te de kakagete (chikara ni naru)
kimi wa kasuka ni waratte (te o nigitte)
sora no sukima ni magirete (kiete itta)

The passing landscape blurs into a spectra (although it’s dazzling)
With your own small hands you raised it up (I will help you)
You just faintly smiled (Take hold of my hand)
Slipping into a slip-space rupture (we have disappeared)

軽い目眩を繰り返して眠る
暗黒の果てにある星に咲いた形
今でもどこかで泣いているジレンマ
今でも何かを求めてる星雨の中

karui memai o kurikaeshite memuri
kuro no hate ni aru hoshi ni saita katachi
ima demo doko ka de naiteiru jirenma
ima demo nani ka o motometeru ame no naka

Feeling a light dizziness again, I sleep
A shape blossomed in the star at the edge of darkness
Even now somewhere, someone’s crying in a dilemma
Even now, searching for something in the rain of stars

どうかまた同じ場所で出会えたら素敵ですね
信じて巡る宇宙のその先の遠い未来を願う旅
消える　Ｐａｎｏｒａｍｉｃ　Ｓｐｅｃｔｒａ

douka mata onaji basho de de aetara suteki desu ne
shinjite meguru uchuu no sono saki no tooi mirai o negau tabi
kieru Panoramic Spectra

Wouldn’t it be great if we could somehow meet again at the same place as before?
With faith, it’s a journey of wishing for a far future beyond the revolving universe
It disappears, the Panoramic Spectra

始めようさあ　ｌｅｖｉｔａｔｉｏｎ　Ｙｅｓ，　Ｉ　ｃａｎ　ｂｅ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｔｒｕｅ　ｎａｖｉｇａｔｏｒ
今弱さを超えて光る　ｔａｋｅ　ｏｆｆ！
見えるはず　ａｎｏｔｈｅｒ　ｄｉｍｅｎｓｉｏｎ　壊すのは　ｓｙｓｔｅｍｓ　ｏｆ　ｙｏｕｒ　ｌｉｆｅ
さあこのままどこまででも　ｍｏｖｅ　ｏｎ！

hajimeyou saa levitation Yes, I can be your true navigator
ima yowasa o koete hikaru take off!
mieru hazu another dimension kowasu no wa systems of your life
saa kono mama doko made demo move on!

Come on let’s start the levitation. Yes, I can be your true navigator
Now shining, surpassing any weakness, take off!
We should be able to see another dimension, it’ll destroy systems of your life
Come now, like this we can go anywhere, move on!

広い　空間の　どこかで　（君の声が）
聴こえた　座標を　探してる　（波に消える）
透ける　グラスに　浮かべて　（心の色）
声に　ならない　想いを　（信じている）

hiroi sekai no doko ka de (kimi no koe ga)
kikoeta basho o sagashiteru (nami ni kieru)
sukeru gurasu ni ukabete (kokoro no iro)
koe ni naranai omoi o (shinjiteiru)

Within this vast world somewhere (your voice is)
Searching for the coordinates that were audible (vanishing into waves)
Held atop by clear glass (the colours of your heart)
The feelings that you won’t put into words (I believe in them)

刻む　景色は　七色　（眩しいのに）
胸に　刺さって　抜けずに　（悲しい色）
君は　微かに　笑って　（手を握って）
宇宙の　隙間に　まぎれて　（消えて行った）

kizamu keshiki wa nana iro (mabushii noni)
mune ni sasatte nukezu ni (kanashii iro)
kimi wa kasuka ni waratte (te o nigitte)
sora no sukima ni magirete (kiete itta)

The etching landscape blurs into spectra (although it’s dazzling)
Lodged in my chest, never to fall out (a colour of sorrow)
You just faintly smiled (Take hold of my hand)
Slipping into a slip-space rupture (we have disappeared)
