So Many Colours

Wow, TUMENECO really fits in with Alstroemeria Records well. This is the last song I’ll be posting from SO MANY COLOURS. You can see Solitude on Kafkafuura’s site. As well, a few final words about the album. Although mican* is still my favourite Alst vocalist, I welcome the Captain Murasa (2021 refix) feat nomico + ayame. Ayame has gotten much better as a singer, and nomico does a great job filling in for mican*.

Speaking of mican*, did you know she’s doing the V nowadays? You can see her youtube channel here. She used to go by Fukurai Maneki, a beckoning cat vtuber, until recently. She’s now decided to vtube as herself. She streams a lot of Kantai Collection and Mahjong Soul which unfortunately isn’t my thing, but if you’re interested do check her out. She has 318 subscribers right now and I’d be happy to see her gain more recognition.

間もない頃の記憶 際限のない世界で
叶わない夢を見ていた 中身のない夢だけど

ma mo nai koro no kioku saigen no nai sekai de
kanawanai yume o miteita nakami no nai yume dakedo

I remember in the beginning the world had no bounds
I had unrealistic dreams, though those dreams had no substance

透明な水槽で 泳ぎ疲れてしまったんだ
ありのまま何も無い 綺麗なもので溢れていた
足元をすくわれて 取り残された気がしたんだ
簡単に色褪せて 泡のように儚くて

toumei na suizou de oyogi tsukarete shimatta n da
ari no mama nani mo nai kirei na mono de afureteita
ashimoto o sukuwarete tori nokosareta ki ga shita n da
kantan ni iro asete awa no you ni hakanakute

I tired myself out swimming in a fish tank
It was filled with beautiful things that held no special meaning
It felt like I had my footing taken away and been left behind
Losing colour so easily, as transient as bubbles

身体ごと裂かれる想いを抱いて 今も
手を伸ばす勇気が僕にあればよかった

karada goto sakareru omoi o idaite ima mo
te o nobasu yuuki ga boku ni areba yokatta

Embracing the feelings torn apart together along with my body, even now
I wish I had the courage to reach out

何にでもなれる君が
ずっと羨ましかった

nan ni demo nareru kimi ga
zutto urayamashikatta

I was always envious of you
who could become anything

望めば手に入ると 君は言う笑いながら
全てが透けて見えていた 必然だと言い切って

nozomeba te ni hairu to kimi wa yuu warainagara
subete ga sukete mieteita hitsuzen da to ii kitte

“If you want it, you’ll get it” you say with a smile
Stating that it was inevitable, everything seemed so transparent

守られた最初から ラムネの中のビー玉だけ
割られないままだから 知らなかったんだ中身までは
可能性求めてる 規則正しい輪の中から
いつまでも褪せなくて 海のように眩しくて

mamorareta saisho kara ramune no naka no biidama dake
wararenai mama dakara shiranakatta n da nakami made wa
kanousei motometeru kisoku tadashii wa no naka kara
itsu made mo asenakute umi no you ni mabushikute

I was protected from the beginning, just a marble in a can of ramune
Kept unable to shatter, so I had no idea what was inside
Seeking possibility from the inside of an orderly ring
Forever unable to lose colour, brilliant like the sea

憧れて夢見るあの空の続き いつか
手が届くその日を迎えられると信じて

akogarete yume miru ano sora no tsudzuki itsu ka
te ga todoku sono hi o mukaerareru to shinjite

Across the sky that I dream of and admire, someday
I will reach it, with conviction that I will live to see the day

あの日から変われた強い想いなら きっと
望むままこの手で掴み取る日が来ると

ano hi kara kawareta tsuyoi omoi nara kitto
nozomu mama kono te de tsukami toru hi ga kuru to

Now that my feelings have changed to be strong since that day, I’m sure
The day will come when I take hold of it with my own hands as I desire

途方に暮れることも
君となら成し遂げる

tohou ni kureru koto mo
kimi to nara nashi togeru

Even if I’m ever at a loss,
with you I can accomplish it

Day dreamers

Requested by Alice, the lyrics don’t exactly suggest the characters whose themes this song is based off, if you ask me. I don’t know if there was a message somewhere (perhaps a tweet?) by the one of the artists explicitly saying who it’s about, or if the lyrics are completely generalized (not Touhou related), but, for the time being, Renko x Merry is a good assumption to make.

月を巡る星の数だけ
ワタシは夢を見る
二人は出会うまでの全てを捨てて
どこまでいけるの?

tsuki o meguru hoshi no kazu dake
watashi wa yume o miru
futari wa de au made no subete o sutete
doko made ikeru no?

For each star revolving around the moon
I have a dream
Throwing away everything until we meet,
how far can we go?

花びら舞い散る桜の下で
夜闇を照らした夢物語
いまから始めよう もう一度だけ
見果てぬ あの星掴むまで

hanabira mai chiru sakura no shita de
yo yami o terashita yume monogatari
ima kara hajimeyou mou ichido dake
mi hatenu ano hoshi tsukamu made

Under the cherry blossom tree with petals dancing down
is a story of a dream that lit up the dark night
Let’s begin, starting now, just one more time
until we catch the furthest stars

この瞳が宿す幻想に導かれ
きっと何度でも何度でも繰り返す
魅知の世界を見つけるまで

kono me ga yadosu yume ni michibikare
kitto nando demo nando demo kuri kaesu
michi no sekai o mitsukeru made

Guided by the fantasies and dreams housed in my eyes
I’m sure, time and time again, we’ll keep trying
until we find a mysterious, unknown world

星を探して さぁ夜の街へ
今日も 運命の徒に身を委ね
私たちだけの夢を現に変える

hoshi o sagashite saa yoru no machi e
kyou mo unmei no itazura ni mi o yudane
watashitachi dake no yume o utsutsu ni kaeru

Searching for the stars, let’s go, into the night city
Today too, we’ll leave ourselves to the whims of destiny
and change our dreams alone into reality

深く暗い闇の其処から
あなたが呼ぶ声が
いまでも思い出せず胸を引き裂く
あなたはだれなの?

fukaku kurai yami no soko kara
anata ga yobu koe ga
ima demo omoi dasezu mune o hiki saku
anata wa dare nano?

From the depths of a deep darkness,
your calling voice,
unable to be recalled even now, rips out my heart
Just who are you?

心を渦巻く二つの色が
ワタシの最後の夢物語
今から始めよう もう一度だけ
二人の想い出残す為

kokoro o uzu maku futatsu no iro ga
watashi no saigo no yume monogatari
ima kara hajimeyou mou ichido dake
futari no omoide nokosu tame

The two colours sweeping our hearts
make up the end of my dream story
Let’s begin, starting now, just one more time
for the sake of leaving memories of us together

この瞳を奪う現実に導かれ
きっと何でも何でも繰り返す
魅知の世界を見つけるまで

kono me o ubau yume ni michibikare
kitto nando demo nando demo kuri kaesu
michi no sekai o mitsukeru made

Guided by the reality and dreams stealing away my eyes
I’m sure, time and time again, we’ll keep trying
until we find a mysterious, unknown world

星の流れる この夜の街に
今日も運命の徒が微笑んで
私たちだけの幻想が現実に変わる

hoshi no nagareru kono yoru no machi ni
kyou mo unmei no itazura ga hohoende
watashitachi dake no yume ga utsutsu ni kawaru

In the night city, with the stars shooting,
today too, with the whims of destiny smiling,
our dreams and fantasies alone are going to transform into reality

ふと耳を澄ませば
嗚呼、懐かしいあの声
世界の全てを暴く声
また出会えると信じて
溢れた涙

futo mimi o sumaseba
aa, natsukashii ano koe
sekai no subete o abaku koe
mata de aeru to shinjite
afureta namida

If you happen to clear your ears
ah, you’ll hear that nostalgic voice
The voice revealing everything about the world
Believing that we’ll be able to meet again
the tears flooded out

心に残る記憶に導かれ
きっと何でも何でも繰り返す
魅知の世界を見つけるまで

kokoro ni nokoru kioku ni michibikare
kitto nando demo nando demo kuri kaesu
michi no sekai o mitsukeru made

Guided by the memories remaining in my heart,
I’m sure, time and time again, we’ll keep trying
until we find a mysterious, unknown world

君を探して また夜の街へ
今日は運命の徒を乗り越えて
私たちだけの明日を未来に変える

kimi o sagashite mata yoru no machi e
kyou wa unmei no itazura o nori koete
watashitachi dake no yume o utsutsu ni kaeru

Searching for you, to the night city again,
today we’ll overcome the whims of destiny
and turn our dreams of tomorrow alone into the reality of the future
