The lyrics for >>>> are in! And here’s my second favourite song of the album. Or is it Persona? Or maybe World Disorder. Either way, this is a great album.

教えてよ　君の夢の終わり
聴かせてよ　君の夢の鼓動
喜びの声にも似て
星に悲鳴が響いている

oshiete yo kimi no yume no owari
kikasete yo kimi no yume no kodou
yorokobi no koe ni mo nite
hoshi ni himei ga hibiiteiru

Teach me of the end of your dreams
Let me listen to the beat of your dreams
Sounding like a joyful voice
a scream is ringing in the stars

言葉にできなくて

kotoba ni dekinakute

It just can’t be put into words

届かない　想いの行く先
開けない　パンドラの箱のよう
喜びの歌にも似て
星に悲鳴が響いている

todokanai omoi no yuku saki
hirakenai pandora no hako no you
yorokobi no uta ni mo nite
hoshi ni himei ga hibiiteiru

Unreachable, the destination of my feelings
Unopenable, like Pandora’s box
Sounding like a joyful song
a scream is ringing in the stars

響く歌声　淡く　君が照らしてくれていた
響く歌声　強く　僕を照らしてくれていた
君の顔に浮かんだ　涙が本当は嘘だと
知っていたけど　刺さって痛いよ
知っていたけど　夢見ていたいよ

hibiku utagoe awaku kimi ga terashite kureteita
hibiku utagoe tsuyoku boku o terashite kureteita
kimi no kao ni ukanda namida ga hontou wa usa da to
shitteita kedo sasatte itai yo
shitteita kedo yume miteitai yo

With your echoing melody, you had lightly shined
With your echoing melody, had strongly shined upon me
That those tears on your face were really lies
I had known, but it hurts to be pierced by them
I had known, but I want keep dreaming

教えてよ　僕の夢の終わり
聴かせてよ　僕の夢の鼓動
喜びの声にも似て
風に悲鳴が響いている

oshiete yo boku no yume no owari
kikasete yo boku no yume no kodou
yorokobi no koe ni mo nite
kaze ni himei ga hibiiteiru

Teach me of the end of my dreams
Let me listen to the beat of my dreams
Sounding like a joyful voice
a scream is ringing in the wind

言葉にできなくて

kotoba ni dekinakute

It just can’t be put into words

砕けない　心の行く先
壊せない　パンドラの箱のよう
喜びの歌にも似て
風に悲鳴が響いている

kudakenai kokoro no yuku saki
kowasenai pandora no hako no you
yorokobi no uta ni mo nite
kaze ni himei ga hibiiteiru

Unbreakable, the heart’s destination
Indestructable, like Pandora’s box
Sounding like a joyful song
a scream is ringing in the wind

響く歌声　寂しく　君が教えてくれていた
響く歌声　寂しく　僕を生かしてくれていた
君の顔に浮かんだ　笑顔が本当は嘘だと
知っていたけど　それでもいいよ
知っていたけど　夢見ていたいよ

hibiku utagoe samishiku kimi ga oshiete kureteita
hibiku utagoe samishiku boku o ikashite kureteita
kimi no kao ni ukanda egao ga hontou wa uso da to
shitteita kedo sore demo ii yo
shitteita kedo yume miteitai yo

With your echoing melody, you had lonesomely taught me
With your echoing melody, had lonesomely made the best of me
That the smile on your face was really a lie
I had known, but that’s fine anyways
I had known, but I want to keep dreaming

Chasing Rainbows

I’ve been loving this song so much that I decided to transcribe it without a booklet.
It’s been edited according to it now though.

I should also probably note that I took this from the perspective of Miko, having made the new mask of hope.

汚れたこの手で　この眼で
作り上げてきた　仮面を
恐れて怯えて　いたのは
あなたなの？　私なの？

yogoreta kono te de kono me de
tsukuri agetekita kamen o
osorete obieteita no wa
anata nano? watashi nano?

With these dirtied hands and eyes
I had made this mask
Who was it that feared and was afraid of it
Was it you? Was it me?

その手で包み込んで
その手で照らし出して
傷だらけのこの仮面　愛される事が出来たなら
独りじゃない

sono te de tsutsumi konde
sono te de terashi dashite
kizu darake no kono kamen aisareru koto ga dekita nara
hitori janai

Wrap it up with your hands
Light it up with your hands
With this mask covered in scars, if you were able to be loved
you’re not alone

どうしようもないくらい　哀しい
どうしようもないくらい　寂しい
全てを隠してしまえたら
いいのにね　いいのにね

doushiyou mo nai kurai kanashii
doushiyou mo nai kurai samishii
subete o kakushite shimaetara
ii noni ne ii noni ne

Sad to the point of being hopeless
Lonely to the point of being hopeless
It’d be nice to be able to hide everything
but you know, but you know

この手じゃ愛せなくて
この眼じゃ愛せなくて
傷だらけのこの仮面　愛される事が出来たなら
独りじゃない

kono te ja aisenakute
kono me ja aisenakute
kizu darake no kono kamen aisareru koto ga dekita nara
hitori janai

Unable to love with these hands
Unable to love with these eyes
With this mask covered in scars, if you were able to be loved
you’re not alone

傷だらけのこの仮面　愛される事が出来たなら
一人じゃない

kizu darake no kono kamen aisareru koto ga dekita nara
hitori janai

With this mask covered in scars, if you were able to be loved
you’re not alone

手を伸ばせば　遠く　目をそらせば　近く
行き場の無い　光　翳る事も　あるだろう

te o nobaseba tooku
me o soraseba chikaku
ikiba no nai hikari kageru koto mo aru darou

If you reach out your hands far out
If you turn your eyes close by
I bet even the light with no place to go will darken

哀しさ　その先に　寂しさ　その果てに
愛なんて　夢なんて　なくても
さよ　なら
さよ　なら

kanashisa sono saki ni samishisa sono hate ni
ai nante yume nante nakutemo
sayonara
sayonara

Beyond all the sadness, at the end of the loneliness
even if love, even if dreams aren’t there
farewell
farewell

Have a Good Dream

It’s funny, there are two types of songs: Ones that are easy to translate, and ones that simply aren’t. This would fall under the former, it’s a surprise how fast I could get it done.

使い古されてた　言葉を拾って
この気持ちに今　名前を付けたい

tsukai furusareteta kotoba o hirotte
kono kimochi ni ima namae o tsuketai

I’ve become worn out, I gather up words
To this feeling now, I want to give a name

願うだけでは駄目　祈るだけでも駄目
信じるだけでは　もう赦せない

negau dake de wa dame inoru dake de mo dame
shinjiru dake de wa mou yurusenai

It’s no good just to wish, it’s no good to pray either
Just having faith alone can’t be allowed anymore

僕の　この手では　何一つ　つかめないままなら
何を　抱きしめて　眠りにつけばいいんだろう

boku no kono te de wa nani hitotsu tsukamenai mama nara
nani o daki shimete nemuri ni tsukeba ii n darou

With these hands of mine, if every single thing remains out of reach
what will I embrace close? I should just go to sleep shouldn’t I?

全ては終わる　もう　おやすみなさい
また会う日まで　さあ　おやすみなさい
いくつも　時を超えて
映す未来の希望への歌が　聴こえるまで

subete wa owaru mou oyasuminasai
mata au hi made saa oyasuminasai
ikutsu mo toki o koete
utsusu mirai no kibou e no uta ga kikoeru made

Everything comes to an end, it’s good night already
Until the day we meet again, it’s good night see
I’ll cross over countless times
until I can listen to the song towards hope for this projecting future

もし　このまま　目が　覚めないままなら
何に祈ればいい　夢の中で

moshi kono mama me ga samenai mama nara
nani ni inoreba ii yume no naka de

If my eyes were to remain shut like this, unable to open,
what should I pray to? Inside this dream

僕の　この手では　何もかも　壊してしまうなら
何を　思い出し　眠りにつけばいいんだろう

boku no kono te de wa nani mo kamo kowashite shimau nara
nani o omoi dashi nemuri ni tsukeba ii n darou

With these hands of mine, if I just utterly destroy anything and everything
what will I remember? I should just go to sleep shouldn’t I?

信じていいよ　もう　おやすみなさい
悲しまないで　さあ　おやすみなさい
長い長い　夜を超えて
優しく”おはよう”と告げる　声が　聴こえるまで

shinjite ii yo mou oyasuminasai
kanashimanai de saa oyasuminasai
nagai nagai yoru o koete
yasashiku “ohayou” to tsugeru koe ga kikoeru made

It’s alright to believe, it’s good night already
Don’t grieve for me, it’s good night see
I’ll pass, I’ll pass, through these long nights
until I can listen to a voice kindly telling me “good morning”

全ては終わる　もう　おやすみなさい
また会う日まで　さあ　おやすみなさい
いくつも　時を超えて
映す未来の希望への歌が　聴こえるまで

subete wa owaru mou oyasuminasai
mata au hi made saa oyasuminasai
ikutsu mo toki o koete
utsusu mirai no kibou e no uta ga kikoeru made

Everything comes to an end, it’s good night already
Until the day we meet again, it’s good night see
I’ll cross over countless time
until I can listen to the song towards hope for this projecting future

Phew, been caught up on doing a lot of study recently. Now it’s time to catch up on translating. To begin with, I have plans to cover some more from this album, and next up, more Dancing Dollz maybe.

夕暮れ時　探していた　一番星
寄り添う月　引き合う星　君のそばに

yuugure doki sagashiteita ichiban boshi
yori sou tsuki hikik au hoshi kimi no soba ni

During evening, I had searched for the first star to appear
The moon snuggles up and the stars pull close, close to you

明けない夜があったならいいのにね
呟く君の目に光る紅い星

akenai yoru ga atta nara ii noni ne
tsubuyaku kimi no me ni hikaru akai hoshi

If the night would never end that’d be nice wouldn’t it
There are scarlet stars shining in your eyes as you murmur

さあ　手を　伸ばしてみたら
さあ　目を　開いてみたら
今でも　手が届くはず　心に　手が届くはず

saa te o nobashitemitara
saa me o hiraitemitara
ima demo te ga todoku hazu kokoro ni te ga todoku hazu

Come on, if I just try and reach out my hand
Come on, if I just try and open up my eyes
Even now, I should be able to reach, to your heart, I should be able to reach

夕暮れ時　探していた　一番星
思い出せば　この心は　揺れるばかり

yuugure doki sagashiteita ichiban boshi
omoi daseba kono kokoro wa yureru bakari

During evening, I had searched for the first star to appear
If you recall, this heart does nothing but shake

夜明け前を　照らす青に　染まる世界
空と君を　分ける意味を　失う世界
さあ　手を　伸ばしてみたら
さあ　目を　開いてみたら

yoake mae o terasu ao ni somaru sekai
sora to kimi o wakeru imi o ushinau sekai
saa te o nobashitemitara
saa me o hiraitemitara

It’s a world dyed in a blue which shines before dawn
It’s a world that loses the meanings which divide you and the sky
Come on, if I just try and reach out my hand
Come on, if I just try and open up my eyes

無くしたもの　探しに行けるよ

nakushita mono sagashi ni ikeru yo

I should be able to go and search for what was lost

君が奏でてた　歌を探してた
忘れないように　何度も何度も手を振って

kimi ga kanadeteta uta o sagashiteta
wasurenai you ni nando mo nando mo te o futte

I had searched for the song that you had played
So that I’ll never forget, over and over I wave my hand

僕はここにいて　君もここにいる
だけど知っていた　この瞬間　もう二度とない事

boku wa koko ni ite kimi mo koko ni iru
dakedo shitteita kono shunkan mou nido to nai koto

I’m right here, you’re right here as well
However I had come to know, this moment, that things will never be again

雲一つない　夜空を見て　微笑んでる
君が君で　ある理由を　失う世界
今でも手が届くはず　心に　手が届くはず
大事なもの　探しに行こうよ

kumo hitotsu nai yozora o mite hohoenderu
kimi ga kimi de aru riyuu o ushinau sekai
ima demo te ga todoku hazu kokoro ni te ga todoku hazu
daiji na mono sagashi ni ikou yo

Seeing the cloudless night and smiling
It’s a world which loses the reason that you’re you
Even now, I should be able to reach, your heart, I should be able to reach
Lets go and search for important things

優しさの意味を　誰より知っていた
傷つける事を　何度も何度も諦めて

yasashisa no imi o dare yori shitteita
kizutsukeru koto o nando mo nando mo akiramete

You had known more than anyone else the meaning of kindness
Over and over I give up on hurting

僕はここにいて　君もここにいる
だけど分かってた　この声は　もう届かない事

boku wa koko ni ite kimi mo koko ni iru
dakedo wakatteita kono koe wa mou todokanai koto

I’m right here, you’re right here as well
However I had understood, that this voice would never reach anymore

夕暮れ時　探していた　一番星
寄り添う月　引き合う星　君のそばに

yuugure doki sagashiteita ichiban boshi
yori sou tsuki hikik au hoshi kimi no soba ni

During evening, I had searched for the first star to appear
The moon draws close, the stars pull together, to your side

君が奏でてた　歌を探してた
忘れないように　何度も何度も手を振って

kimi ga kanadeteta uta o sagashiteta
wasurenai you ni nando mo nando mo te o futte

I had searched for the song that you had played
So that I’ll never forget, over and over I wave my hand

僕はここにいて　君もここにいる
だけど知っていた　この瞬間　もう二度とない事

boku wa koko ni ite kimi mo koko ni iru
