Planetary Revolution

I always enjoy lyrics about space, for this reason, I’ll recommend to you right now to take a look at “uni_Verse”
As for an analysis of this song, it’s all about having a vision too narrowed to be able to see the beautiful world all around you. If you don’t like the possible future presented to you, “smash it” and find another, keep your eyes wide and your mind open.

例えば 君の世界で
ゼロ感覚を 曲げたら
何千光年の距離を 七色に

tatoeba kimi no sekai de
zero kankaku o magetara
nanzen kounen no kyori o nana iro ni

Let’s say that if in your world
zero sensations were yielded
then go over thousands of light years, to a rainbow

まるでクリスタルが砕けて
散らばる瞬間のように
その可能性未来
ゼロ距離で打ち砕いて

marude kurisutaru ga kudakete
chirabaru shunkan no you ni
sono kanousei mirai
zero kyori de uchi kudaite

Just as if a crystal was broken
like a moment of scattering into pieces
Take that possible future
smash it to pieces at point blank

壊されていく 華やいでいく

kowasarete yuku kudayaide yuku

Becoming demolished – Becoming brilliant

どこまでも自由に ピントを合わせたら
探してた世界なんてのは 嘘だってきっと気づくさ
足元に広がる 宇宙に気づいたら
失う必要なんてないから 何度だって気づけるさ

doko made mo jiyuu ni pinto o awasetara
sagashiteta sekai nante no wa usa da tte kitto kidzuku sa
ashimoto ni hirogaru uchuu ni kidzuitara
ushinau koto nante nai kara nando da tte kidzukeru sa

No matter where you are, if you freely bring it into focus
things like the world you’ve been searching for, you’ll realize are a lie
And when you noticed at your feet, the universe sprawling out
you’ll see you’ve lost nothing, time after time, you’ll be able to see that

寂しいなら twinkle starlight
見上げたら shooting star light
君だけに bring you starlight
そばに with me forever

samishii nara twinkle starlight
mi agetara shooting star light
kimi dake ni bring you starlight
soba ni with me forever

If you’re lonely, twinkle starlight
When you look up, you’ll see a shooting star light
Only for you, I’ll bring you starlight
Stay by my side with me forever

哀しいなら twinkle starlight
そばにいる shooting star light
君だけの REVOLUTION
PLANETARY REVOLUTION

kanashii nara twinkle starlight
soba ni iru shooting star light
kimi dake no REVOLUTION
PLANETARY REVOLUTION

If you’re sad, twinkle starlight
You by my side, shooting star light
Just your REVOLUTION
PLANETARY REVOLUTION

思えば 僕の世界は
ゼロ感覚に 怯えて
何千光年の距離を さまよって

omoeba boku no sekai wa
zero kankaku ni obiete
nanzen kounen no kyori o samayotte

Thinking about it I’m scared of
my world having zero sensations
I wander about a distance of thousands of light years

まるでクリスタルがはじけて
輝く瞬間のように
その可能性未来
ゼロ距離で打ち砕いて

marude kurisutaru ga hajikete
kagayaku shunkan no you ni
sono kanousei mirai
zero kyori de uchi kudaite

Just as if a crystal burst open
like a moment of sparkling
Take that possible future
smash it to pieces at point blank

汚されていく ささやいていく

yogosarete yuku sasayaite yuku

Becoming corrupted – Whispering

どこまでも僕らは 自由なはずなのに
求めてた答えなんてのは 嘘だってきっと気づくさ
足元に広がる 宇宙に気づいたら
失う必要なんてないから 何度だって愛せるさ

doko made mo bokura wa jiyuu na hazu nanoni
motometeta kotae nante no wa usa da tte kitto kidzuku sa
ashimoto ni hirogaru uchuu ni kudzuitara
ushinau koto nante nai kara nando da tte aiseru sa

No matter where we go we should be free although
things like the answer we’ve been pursuing, we’ll surely realize is a lie
And when we notice at our feet, the universe sprawling out
we’ll see we’ve lost nothing, time after time, we’ll be able to love

寂しいなら twinkle starlight
見上げたら shooting star light
君だけに bring you starlight
そばに with me forever

samishii nara twinkle starlight
mi agetara shooting star light
kimi dake ni bring you starlight
soba ni with me forever

If you’re lonely, twinkle starlight
When you look up, you’ll see a shooting star light
Only for you, I’ll bring you starlight
Stay by my side with me forever

哀しいなら twinkle starlight
そばにいる shooting star light
君だけの REVOLUTION
PLANETARY REVOLUTION

kanashii nara twinkle starlight
soba ni iru shooting star light
kimi dake no REVOLUTION
PLANETARY REVOLUTION

If you’re sad, twinkle starlight
You by my side, shooting star light
Just your REVOLUTION
PLANETARY REVOLUTION

寂しいなら twinkle starlight
見上げたら shooting star light
君だけに bring you starlight
そばに with me forever

samishii nara twinkle starlight
mi agetara shooting star light

If you’re lonely, twinkle starlight
When you look up, you’ll see a shooting star light
Only for you, I’ll bring you starlight
Stay by my side with me forever

哀しいなら twinkle starlight
そばにいる shooting star light
君だけの REVOLUTION
PLANETARY REVOLUTION

kanashii nara twinkle starlight
soba ni iru shooting star light
kimi dake no REVOLUTION
PLANETARY REVOLUTION

If you’re sad, twinkle starlight
You by my side, shooting star light
Just your REVOLUTION

not Alone

Reinterpreted, it somewhat looks like this song is more talking from the perspective of a friend of Mokou’s who’s on the brink of death instead of from Mokou’s perspective (This could be evidenced by lines such as “Rest your wings” or “becoming the only one the ‘flames’ can rely on”. “The moon waning until it hides every one of your tears”, that also sounds very much like it would be Mokou that’s crying, since we all know how long it takes a lunar cycle to go through its course. Of course, that’s not all my evidence to support this, but I’m already going into far too much detail about this as it is). This song was a real pain to word into English though, I usually try to fit the syllable count to somewhat match, but.. this one.. I couldn’t do so well about that.

Notes: In the lines 「残されてく 想いまでどうすればいいの」 and the 「行けばいいの」 one, those can be more accurately translated “What am I supposed to do until these feelings are left behind” and “How am I supposed to go towards a binding future,” but well, with the preceding lines, it would read really, really unnatural I think. I figure the translation I have in place now retains most of the meaning, that she doesn’t know what to do, while flowing more naturally.

揺れる 煙が
月をまた 隠し始めたなら
羽休めて 聴かせてよ 眠るまで

yureru kemuri ga
tsuki o mata kakushi hajimeta nara
hane yasumete kikasete yo nemuru made

If the smoke swaying has
once again began to hide the moon then
rest your wings and let me listen until I sleep

何度でも 繰り返すと
信じた炎 たった一つの力になるよ
永遠なんて 知らないまま
生きて行けたら 良かったのに

nando demo kurikaesu to
shinjita honoo tatta hitotsu no chikara ni naru yo
eien nante shiranai mama
ikite iketara yokatta noni

I believed that the flames would repeat forever
I’ll become the only one they can depend on
I don’t care about things like eternity
though it would be nice if I could keep on living

一人で泣いてた あの頃の私に
差し伸べられていた 手のひら
今でも 私を 照らしてる

hitori de naiteta ano koro no watashi ni
sashi noberareteita te no hira
ima demo watashi o terashiteru

The me from those old days had cried all alone
but you had held out the palm of your hand to me
Even now shining light upon me

一人じゃないから あの頃の私は
前見て走り続けている
今でも 私を 照らしてる

hitori janai kara ano koro no watashi wa
mae mite hashiri tsudzuketeiru
ima demo watashi o terashiteru

Because I’m not alone, the me from those old days
looks ahead and continues to run
Even now you’re shining light upon me

揺れる 心を
月がまた 照らし始めたなら
それはまるで 古い おとぎ話

yureru kokoro o
tsuki ga mata terashi hajimeta nara
sore wa maru de furui otogibanashi

If the moon has once again
begun to shine down on my shaking heart then
this might as well be just like an old fairy tail

最後だと 笑うけれど
残されてく 想いまでどうすればいいの
永遠なんて 知らないから
どうか私に 笑ってみせて

saigo da to warau keredo
nokosarete ku omoi made dou sureba ii no
eien nante shiranai kara
douka watashi ni waratte misete

I laugh that this is the end although
I don’t know what to do until these feelings are left behind
I don’t know of things like eternity
so would you please show me your smile

一人で泣いてた あの頃の私に
差し伸べられていた 手のひら
今でも 私を 照らしてる

hitori de naiteta ano koro no watashi ni
sashi noberareteita te no hira
ima demo watashi o terashiteru

The me from those old days had cried all alone
but you had held out the palm of your hand to me
Even now shining light upon me

一人じゃないから あの頃の私は
前見て走り続けている
今でも 私を 照らしてる

hitori janai kara ano koro no watashi wa
mae mite hashiri tsudzuketeiru
ima demo watashi o terashiteru

Because I’m not alone, the me from those old days
looks ahead and continues to run
Even now you’re shining light upon me

さよならを 告げる度に
縛られてく 未来までどう行けばいいの
そばにいてよ そばにいてよ
今夜の月が 欠けて 君の涙を 隠してくれるまで

sayonara o tsugeru tabi ni
shibararete ku mirai made dou ikeba ii no
soba ni ite yo soba ni ite yo
konya no tsuki ga kakete kimi no namida o kakushite kureru made

Whenever it’s time to say goodbye
I don’t know how I’m supposed to go towards the bound future
Stay close to me, stay with me
The moon tonight will wane until it hides every one of your tears

一人で泣いてた あの頃の私に
差し伸べられていた 手のひら
今でも 私を 照らしてる

hitori de naiteta ano koro no watashi ni
sashi noberareteita te no hira
ima demo watashi o terashiteru

The me from those old days had cried all alone
but you had held out the palm of your hand to me
Even now you’re shining light upon me

一人じゃないから あの頃の私は
前見て走り続けている
今でも 私を 照らしてる

hitori janai kara ano koro no watashi wa
mae mite hashiri tsudzuketeiru
ima demo watashi o terashiteru

Because I’m not alone, the me from those old days
looks ahead and continues to run
Even now you’re shining light upon me

Calling Opus

These lyrics seem to be about Remilia’s faith in Sakuya and her power. I think I like EoSD Sakuya’s theme more than Flowering Night. I feel it represents her serious side and determination to defeat the player, her will to protect her master. Meanwhile, Flowering Night seems to show off her more “perfect, elegant maid” persona.

銀色に 輝く その刃の 向こう側
響く 誰かを呼ぶ声
前向いて 顔を上げて 時を止めて もう一度
描けるはず そう 君なら

gin iro ni kagayaku sono yaiba no mukou gawa
hibiku dareka o yobu koe
mae muite kao o agete toki o tomete mou ichido
egakeru hazu sou kimi nara

On other side of your silver shining blade
is a resonating voice calling out for somebody
Face forward and lift your head up high, stop time again one more time
If it’s you, yes, you should be able to pull it off

例えば 花が風に散っていったとして
それを止める事に何の意味があるだろう

tatoeba hana ga kaze ni chitteita toshite
sore o tomeru koto ni nan no imi ga aru darou

Let’s suppose that a flower went and fell in the wind
What meaning do you think would there be in stopping that?

再び世界は回る
束の間の喜びと ほんの少しのすれ違いさえ 今はもう…

futatabi sekai wa mawaru
tsuka no ma no yorokobi to hon no sukoshi surechigai sae ima wa mou…

Once again the world spins around
Even things like the slight crossing of paths and the delights of a moment, will now shortly…

舞い散る花のように 誇り高く飛べ
世界の果てまでも その姿を変えていく

mai chiru hana no you ni hokori takaku tobe
sekai no hate made mo sono sugata o kaete iku

Proudly soar far off just like a dancing flower
as far as even the ends of the world, we’ll be changing that

銀色に 輝く その瞳に 映るのは
遠い 希望を呼ぶ声

gin iro ni kagayaku sono hitomi ni utsuru no wa
tooi kibou o yobu koe

Reflected in your silver shining eyes
is a distant voice calling for hope

前向いて 顔を上げて 時を止めて もう一度
照らしてよ  君の声で

mae muite kao o agete toki o tomete mou ichido
terashite yo kimi no koe de

Face forward and lift your head up high, stop time again one more time
Shine upon everything with your voice

 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 gold sun, silver moon and you

例えば 星が流れ消えていったとして
それを止める事に何の意味があるだろう

tatoeba hoshi ga nagare kiete itta toshite
sore o tomeru koto ni nan no imi ga aru darou

Let’s suppose that a star shot off and went and vanished
what meaning do you think would there be in stopping that?

それでも世界は回る
束の間の悲しみと ほんの少しの温かささえ 今はもう…

sore demo sekai wa mawaru
tsuka no ma no kanashimi to hon no sukoshi no atatakasa sae ima wa mou…

Even so the world still spins around
Even things like the slightest warmth and the sorrows of a moment, will now shortly…

舞い散る花のように 誇り高く飛べ
世界の果てまでも その姿を変えていく

mai chiru hana no you ni hokori takaku tobe
sekai no hate made mo sono sugata o kaete iku

Proudly soar far off just like a dancing flower
as far as even the ends of the world, we’ll change that

銀色に 輝く その刃で 切り裂いて
遠い あの日が呼ぶ声

gin iro ni kagayaku sono yaiba de kiri saite
tooi ano hi ga yobu koe

Using your silver shining blade
slice apart the voice of that far day calling out

前向いて 顔を上げて 時を止めて もう一度
照らすなら  君の歌で

mae muite kao o agete toki o tomete mou ichido
terasu nara kimi no uta de

Face forward and lift your head up high, stop time again one more time
If you’re going to shine do it with your song

 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 gold sun, silver moon and you

銀色に 輝く その刃の 向こう側
響く 誰かを呼ぶ声
前向いて 顔を上げて 時を止めて もう一度
描けるはず そう 君なら

hibiku dareka o yobu koe

On other side of your silver shining blade
is a resonating voice calling out for somebody
Face foward, lift your head up high, stop time again one more time
If it’s you, yes, you should be able to pull it off

 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 to be free, to the sky, you&I
 gold sun, silver moon and you

complicated

I don’t have much to say here, but that sequence of “kawaru noni” at the end really hooked me, plus, it’s Itori.

Notes: The last sequence of “kawaru noni” at the end, while it all essentially means “change,” those kanji are all used for different things, so I attempted to translate it to reflect the wording as best I could. Maybe I should have just kept it all as “change” though. Edit: I decided to do so
