ひとり泣きながら
閉じこもり俯く君
君の辛い顔
これ以上見たくない

hitori naki nagara
toki komori utsumuku kimi
kimi no tsurai kao
kore ijou mitakunai

While crying all alone
you hung your head, shutting yourself in
I don’t want to see
your sullen face anymore

君の価値観 狂わせてあげるから
ネガティブは もう卒業しよう

kimi no kachikan kuruwasete ageru kara
negatibu wa mou sotsugyou shiyou

I’ll drive your sense of values off the tracks
so let’s move on from all the negative

さあ 自由奔放に セカイを遊んでみよう
遊ばれてばっかりじゃ つまんなくなっちゃうよ
みんなは君の笑顔 待ち望んでいるよ
せーので笑っちゃおう
はい Peace!

saa jiyuu honpou sekai o asonde miyou
asobarete bakkari ja tsumannaku nacchau yo
minna wa kimi no egao machi nozondeiru yo
see no de waracchaou
hai Peace!

Come on, let’s have fun free in the world
Being played with all the time just makes you bored
Everyone’s waiting in anticipation for your smile
On the count of three, let’s smile
Yeah, peace!

少しずつ笑顔
取り戻し戸惑う君
君のその変化は
輝かしい成長だよ

sukoshi zutsu egao
tori modoshi tomadou kimi
kimi no sono henka wa
kagayakashii seichou da yo

Little by little, you take back
your smile and are baffled
That change of yours
is a gorgeous growth

頑張る君の幸せを願ってる
ポジティブになった君を見せて?

ganbaru kimi no shiawase o negatteru
pojitibu ni natta kimi o misete?

We’re wishing for your happiness as you do your best
Will you show us your positive self?

さあ 自由奔放に セカイを遊んでみよう
遊ばれてばっかりじゃ 不公平だもんね
私は君のそばにいつだっているから
一緒に笑っちゃおう
はい Peace!

saa jiyuu honpou ni sekai o asonde miyou
asobarete bakkari ja fukouhei da mon ne
watashi wa kimi no soba ni itsu datte iru kara
issho ni waracchaou
hai Peace!

Come on, let’s have fun free in the world
Being played with all the time isn’t fair
I’ll always be by your side after all
so let’s smile together
Yeah, peace!

さあ 自由奔放に セカイを遊んでみよう
遊ばれてばっかりじゃ つまんなくなっちゃうよ
みんなは君の笑顔 待ち望んでいるよ
せーので笑っちゃおう
はい Peace!

saa jiyuu honpou ni sekai o asonde miyou
asobarete bakkari ja tsumannaku nacchau yo
minna wa kimi no egao machi nozondeiru yo

hai Peace!

Come on, let’s have fun free in the world
Being played with all the time just makes you bored
Everyone’s waiting in anticipation for your smile
On the count of three, let’s smile
Yeah, peace!

ほら 自由奔放に セカイを遊んでみよう
遊ばれてばっかりじゃ もったいない!
みんなは君のそばに いつだっているから
最高の笑顔
はい Peace!

hora jiyuu honpou ni sekai o asonde miyou
asobarete bakkari ja mottai nai!
minna wa kimi no soba ni itsu datte iru kara
saikou no egao
hai Peace!

Look, let’s have fun free in the world
Being played with all the time is just a waste!
Everyone will always be by your side after all
so let’s give them the best smile
Yeah, peace!

Valid Reason

While this song is fine, I highly recommend listening to the MUZIK SERVANT Remix. Not only does it improves on the original arrange, but I think it also really complements Tsukiyama’s voice. On a different note, these lyrics are nice, and Tsukiyama did an amazing job singing as well.

ずっと燻っていた この胸の奥で
忘れちゃいけないはずだったのに
固く閉ざされた 記憶の扉の
鍵を見つけたら何がまっているの

zutto kusubutteita kono mune no oku de
wasurecha ikenai hazu datta noni
kataku tozasareta kioku no tobira no
kagi o mitsuketara nani ga matteiru no

What will be waiting once I find the key
to the door of my forever secluded memories
that I wasn’t supposed to forget,
yet were firmly locked deep in my heart?

深い闇に濡れた過去
振り返らないと誓ったから

fukai yami ni nureta kako
furi kaeranai to chikatta kara

I vowed never to look back upon
the past, wet with a deep darkness, after all

夢咲き乱れる 楽園なんてなくて
理不尽な嘘が溢れていた
何を守るため 私はここにいるの
思い出せなくて泣いていた

yume saki midareru rakuen nante nakute
rifujin na uso ga afureteita
nani o mamoru tame watashi wa koko ni iru no
omoi dasenakute naiteita

There’s no such thing as a paradise with dreams blooming everywhere
It was only brimming with absurd lies
What am I here to protect?
Unable to recall, I was crying

ずっと眠っていた この胸の奥の
忘れちゃいけないはずの感情
固く閉ざされた 記憶の扉の
鍵を見つけたら君に伝えたい

zutto nemutteita kono mune no oku no
wasurecha ikenai hazu no kanjou
kataku tozasareta kioku no tobira no
kagi o mitsuketara kimi ni tsutaetai

The emotions that I was never supposed to forget
have been slumbering forever deep in my heart
I want to tell you once I find the key
to the firmly shut door of my memories

どんなに辛い戦いも
もう拒まないと誓ったから

donna ni tsurai tatakai mo
mou kobamanai to chikatta kara

No matter how tough a fight is
I vowed I wouldn’t say no to it anymore

眩しく輝く 楽園じゃなくたって
生きる理由は見つけられる
君を守るため 私はここにいるよ
二度と忘れたりしないから

mabushiku kagayaku rakuen janaku tatte
ikiru riyuu wa mitsukerareru
kimi o mamoru tame watashi wa koko ni iru yo
nido to wasuretari shinai kara

So even though there’s no paradise shining bright,
I’ll be able to find a reason to live
I’m here in order to protect you
Never again will I forget that

記憶の欠片を 一つ一つ集めて
約束の場所へ走り出す
君への思いを この手に握りしめて
今すぐにでも会いに行くよ

kioku no kakera o hitotsu hitotsu atsumete
yakusoku no basho e hashiri dasu
kimi e no omoi o kono te ni nigiri shimete
ima sugu ni demo ai ni yuku yo

Gathering the fragments of my memories one by one
I start running to the place we promised upon
Clenching in hand my thoughts towards you,
I want to go see you as soon as possible

眩しく輝く 楽園じゃなくたって
生きる理由は見つけられた
君を守るため 私は生きているよ
二度と忘れたりしないから

mabushiku kagayaku rakuen janaku tatte
ikiru riyuu wa mitsukerareta
kimi o mamoru tame watashi wa ikiteiru yo
nido to wasuretari shinai kara

Even though there’s no paradise shining bright,
I was able to find a reason to live
I’m alive in order to protect you
Never again will I forget that

Meteora Mind

By all means, a party song.

Note: I got these lyrics from Xiami. In the last stanza there, they had it written 「味わせて」, but that’s not grammatically correct and my ears picked up 「味あわせて」, so I went with that instead.

期待、舞い上がる
露わになる
理性さえ 契りさえ・・・
置き去って ついていく

kitai, mai agaru
arawa ni naru
risei sae chigiri sae…
oki satte tsuite yuku

My expectations take flight
They become exposed
My bonds and rationality…
I’ll go so far as to abandon them and follow you

地上にない この感触
アナタだけ アナタだけ
この手握られたまま
Midnight・・・

chijou ni nai kono kanshoku
anata dake anata dake
kono te nigirareta mama
Midnight…

There’s no feeling like this on the surface
You’re the only one, you’re the only one
who remained holding my hand as it’s
midnight…

指を解くたび
愛しくなる
足りないよ 足りないよ
無防備にまた、ねだる

yubi o hodoku tabi
itoshiku naru
tarinai yo tarinai yo
muboubi ni mata, nedaru

Every time our fingers unravel
you become dear to me
It’s not enough, it’s not enough
Defenselessly I plead to you again

地上にない この感触
アナタだけ アナタだけ
味あわせてくれたの
Midnight・・・

chijou ni nai kono kanshoku
anata dake anata dake
ajiawasete kureta no
Midnight…

There’s no feeling like this on the surface
You’re the only one, you’re the only one
who let me taste and savour it
Midnight…

黒い瞳 揺れた
悲しげな 空の影 映す
いつまでも 背のびしても
望む答えに 届かない

kuroi hitomi yureta
kanashige na sora no kage o utsusu
itsu made mo senobi shitemo
nozomu kotae ni todokanai

Black eyes wavered
reflecting the shadows of a sad looking sky
Even if you always try to overcompensate
you won’t reach the answer you desire

いつから君は 気づいていたのかな
私がバカな夢を見ているって

itsu kara kimi wa kidzuiteita no kana
watashi ga baka na yume o miteiru tte

How long has it been since you had realized I wonder
that I have a stupid dream

絶対信じていたいから
泣きたくなんてないから
この世に無駄なことなんてないと思わせてよ
神様 本当にいるのなら
どうか私に教えて
この先正解はあるの?
いつ間違えたの?

zettai shinjiteitai kara
nakitaku nante nai kara
kono yo ni muda na koto nante nai to omowasete yo
kamisama hontou ni iru no nara
douka watashi ni oshiete
kono saki seikai wa aru no?
itsu machigaeta no?

I absolutely want to believe
I don’t want to cry
so let me think that nothing I do in this world is in vain
If God really exists
I’m begging you to let me know
Is there an answer after this?
When did I go wrong?

黒い瞳 揺れた
凍りつく 眼差しを 映す
いつまでも 待っていても
望む頼りは 届かない

kuroi hitomi yureta
koori tsuku manazashi o utsusu
itsu made mo matteitemo
nozomu tayori wa todokanai

Black eyes wavered
casting a frozen gaze
Even if you’ve been waiting forever
the reliance you desire won’t reach

いつから君は 諦めていたのかな
声にならない絶望並べて

itsu kara kimi wa akirameteita no kana
koe ni naranai zetsubou narabete

How long has it been since you had given up I wonder
Set out all the despair you don’t speak of

絶対信じていたいから
泣きたくなんてないから
最後にきっと笑える日が来ると思わせてよ
神様 本当にいるのなら
どうか私に教えて
もう幸せになれないの?
いつ間違えたの?

zettai shinjiteitai kara
nakitaku nante nai kara
saigo ni kitto waraeru hi ga kuru to omowasete yo
kamisama hontou ni iru no nara
douka watashi ni oshiete
mou shiawase ni narenai no?
itsu machigaeta no?

I absolutely want to believe
I don’t want to cry
so let me think that in the end, the day will certainly come when I can laugh
If God really exists
I’m begging you to let me know
Is it impossible to be happy anymore?
When did I go wrong?
