The Birthday - Piano (english translation)

This one might be a little sketchy in places.



ピアノ / Piano

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

I could hear the piano
I can see the fingers,
Above the white and black

Melody, from there everything begins
It steals my breath and I'm paralyzed
A feeling like no one else exists
Everyone vanished, a watery blue

Just like in the season when snow falls
I fell into peace and closed my eyes

Blue butterflies sleep in the open field
In an echo named Babel,
the sound of wings shook the air
My heart is light and warm

Just like in the season when flowers bloom
That girl said "Spring has come, hasn't it?"

Melody, from there it always starts
Unexpectedly, I forget to breathe
The light that escaped from between a crack in the clouds
At times the dancing of the thunder makes me happy

Just like in the season when snow falls
I fell into peace and closed my eyes
Just like in the season when flowers bloom
That girl said "Spring has come, hasn't it?"

I could hear the piano
I can see the fingers,
Above the white and black

The Birthday - Carnival (english translation)

This is a little sketchy in places, but I think it makes sense. Kind of.

カーニバル / Carnival

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

I’ll take the night*
I’ll take you
I’ll take the stars
I’ll take the moon
Let’s go on a journey
Just like this
Before dawn
Right now, from here

I’ll take the wind
I’ll take the flowers
I’ll take the shadows
I’ll take the noise
Let’s go on a journey
Just like this
Before dawn
Right now, from here

Roll up your mouse-coloured muffler and let’s go
The fur jumper matches and**
A boa clings to my neck***
Since no one is around, spontaneously,
I fly in the air
I fly in the air
I don’t have anything like Superman’s mantle
I don’t need it

The jar is filled with
The pleasant scent of Darjeeling****
The salty cracker is damp, but I don’t care
My fellow traveler too*****
Is a good thing*****
If I’m with you
If I’m with you
I have one dream
To rot away
And become sand
The universe’s dust

Carnival
Carnival
Carnival
Oh

Carnival
Carnival
Carnival
Oh

My fellow traveler too
Is a good thing
If I’m with you
If I’m with you
I have one dream
To rot away
And become sand
The universe’s dust

Notes:
*Meaning “take along”, like he’s dragging them all on the journey with him
**, *** I’m not terribly sure about these lines. I don’t know whether he’s wearing the jumper and boa or the other person is
****A place in India
*****This is also a little shaky

The Birthday - GILDA (english translation)

I think this one isn't too bad. There might be a few issues here and there with grammar, but it seems to fit together pretty well.

Well, it makes as much sense as possible, considering that it was written by Chiba. I have no idea what is going on in this song, but the images are interesting.

GILDA


Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

Happy birthday, dear Gilda
A bat or ice cream;
Which should I choose
To give as a present?

Happy birthday, dear Gilda
Wear your casket
And we’ll go to pick blueberries
For a bottled jam
Dear Gilda, I love you
Yesterday a pink rain fell,
And we laughed

Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!

Happy birthday, dear Gilda
The hero you loved who
Flew through the air
Cries in solitude
Dear Gilda, I love you
I want to search for the reality you fell out of,
No matter where it is

Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
Break your mind! Break your mind!

At dawn, on the rings of Saturn,
Should we have an indy race?

Happy birthday, dear Gilda
The warm time has come,
So shall we bury our precious treasures in the field?

Dear Gilda, I love you
There was no wind,
So you could hear the little bird’s chatter
Dear Gilda

Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
Break your mind! Break your mind!

The cold tomorrow
Is too far away, but we can meet it
Even in the wasteland, flowers bloomed
There’s no reason to, but even so…

Notes:
Is it just me, or does this seem like a morbid story? --like "Gilda" has died, or will in the near future?

GILDA

Happy birthday, dear Gilda
yuumori to aisukuriimu
docchi ka erande
purezento suru kara

Happy birthday, dear Gilda
kyasuketto kabutte
buruuberii tori ni ikou
binzume jamu you ni

Dear Gilda, I love you
kinou sa pinku no
ame futte oretachi

Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!

Happy birthday, dear Gilda
suki datta sora tobu
hiiroo wa eien ni

Dear Gilda, I love you
nuke ochita riaritii
sagashi ni itta n da doko made mo

Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
Break your mind! Break your mind!

dosei no akka de yoake no

Happy birthday, dear Gilda
atataka na toki ga kite

Dear Gilda, I love you

Dear Gilda

Open your eyes! Open your eyes! Open your eyes!
Break your mind! Break your mind!

BOOWY - Wagamama Juliet (english translation)

わがままジュリエット / Selfish Juliet

Music and Lyrics: Kyosuke Himuro

On your tear-stained face a smile is worn out
The shine will dance and become rain
Selfish Juliet, you’ve missed the point
If a love where you hid your smile becomes a hindrance to you
You only end up being hurt by your dreams, right?
Don’t you cry, in pieces, cry, cry, cry
Don’t you cry, like sorrowful glass
How to love

Bored last night, only careless play in the air*
A rusted-together night’s object of art is inspired**
I’m at the edge because love and dreams are both so easy
I’ve nothing left, but
Don’t you cry, my cold-acting darling
Don’t you cry, a conspiring*** finger; for good chase
Friday night’s laughing voice turns into a memory

A day dream of Yokoshima
Careless irony
Betrayal’s rainy day
A day dream of Yokoshima
Sorrow’s sympathy

Don’t you cry, in pieces, cry, cry, cry
Don’t you cry, like sorrowful glass
How to love
Don’t you cry, my cold-acting darling
Don’t you cry, a conspiring finger; for good chase

Friday night’s laughing voice turns into a memory

A day dream of Yokoshima
Careless irony
Betrayal’s rainy day…

Notes:
*Himuro says “ennui”, French for boredom
**More French, as he says “objet d’art”, which is literally an “object of art” or “work of art”
***could be “unfaithful”, rather than “conspiring”

わがままジュリエット / Wagamama JURIETTO

Beautiful You

Music and lyrics: Takano Tetsu

Headlights in the rain
Expose the rusted night
I felt like I heard a bell ring

It flows out on the asphalt
My pounding heart burns
This is the last goodbye
Beautiful you

Headlights in the rain
Judge the rusted night
I heard the ringing of the bell
With this, a final goodbye
Beautiful you

Beautiful You

Candy, wave your hand
Candy, you’re too late
Hey, won’t you wait?
Won’t you wait?

When you hold a bouquet of flowers
You’re not there when I fall
I wanna be your first, and I wanna be your last
I wanna be your first, and I wanna be your last
Oh yes?

If you’re only looking into the distance
You’re not there when I fall

Oh yes?

イエロー / Yellow

Music and lyrics: Takano Tetsu

You are yellow
I’m yellow too
All the way to the inside of my lungs*
Your yellow, my yellow
Goes all the way to our high relationship*

What I can see is my world
Today as well there is a sweet smell
What I can see is surely this world
I don’t want to see, so I won’t look

I bury my face in your hair
And breathe happiness into my lungs
“No way, I don’t want to die yet”

Notes:
*This is a play on words. Tetsu uses two phrases that sound very similar, but have very different meanings: "hai no naka made" and "hai na naka made". "Hai" can mean both "lung" (肺)and "high" (ハイ), and "naka" can mean "inside" (中) or "relationship" (仲)

イエロー / IEROO

Kimi wa IEROO boku mo IEROO
Hai no naka made
Kimi no IEROO boku no IEROO
HAI na naka made

Kono shikai ga boku no sekai da
Kyou mo amai kaori da
Boku no shikai ga kono sekai nan da
Mitaku nai kara minai n da

Kimi no kami ni kao o umete
Shiawase o suikonde hai no naka made

ZIGZO - Warau Tsuki (english translation)

笑う月 / The Laughing Moon

Music and lyrics: Tetsu Takano

Like a bad dream
In the darkness before dawn
I dance a ballet with Elvis and Sid*
Worn out from carrying so many things like lies and ideals over my shoulder,
If I walk, stop and look up at it

Look, in the laughing moon that I see, your eyes are reflected
This sleeping world is a dream God is having

The noise that is banging at my head gradually gets stronger
I love both my neighbour and the pain
I pile up things like worldly desires and wishes recklessly and they spill over
I flap my wings from inside the cracked egg and,

Reflected in your eyes that the birds flying in the sky are looking at,
This shaking world is a dream God is having
Look, in the laughing moon that I see, your eyes are reflected
This sleeping world is a dream God is having

Reflected in your eyes that the birds flying in the sky are looking at,
This shaking world is a dream God is having
Look, in the laughing moon that I see, your eyes are reflected
This sleeping world is a dream God is having

But even that’s okay,
Even if the illusion is upside-down, it’s okay
What kind of person is always open?**
God is dreaming

Notes:
*Probably meaning Sid Vicious
**I don't know about this line.

The Birthday - Masquerade (english translation)

This one is...interesting. I really like the third verse though, for some reason.

マスカレード / Masquerade

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

My heart is always flying about
To the point that I don’t know if I understand it or not*
But I can’t make an order at the drive-through going over 100 kilos, can I?**

C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!

The part-time-working girl with the pretty face
The one at the coffee shop on the corner
I ask her if we should go out to play somewhere
Bowling is kind of lame, isn’t it?

C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!

If it’s okay for me to wear my ski mask,
You put on your red wings
Since I’m wearing my blue wings,
Let’s call each other “red” and “blue”

C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!

If I had a heart made of iron,
I wonder if its throbbing would have to disappear?***
Even the people that are left behind somewhere****
Will feel like they’re dancing in heaven

C’mon lady! Masquerade!
C’mon lady! Masquerade!

Notes:
* Not too sure about this.
**Or this
***the feeling of his heart beating rapidly; would he still be able to experience that sort of excited state
****Not 100% on this either

POSSIBILITY - kiss me (english translation)

kiss me

Lyrics: 43K, EIG
Music: POSSIBILITY

Hey my sweet baby
Capricious lady
I’m captivated by you
You try to act tough, but
You’re my crybaby B-type angel*

Hey my sweet baby
Selfish lady
I hate lies
And you say our values are out of synch
But I don’t care baby

I’m indecisive and you’re imprecise, but
Our ability to reconcile our squabbles is a magic that belongs only to the two of us

Kiss me
Because both of us are rough around the edges
Together, we become one perfectly
Because both of us are rough around the edges
Together, we become one perfectly

Hey my sweet baby, prophets and morning fortune tellers both mean nothing
You can’t predict it
My flying fish angel**

You who love coffee,
And the milk-loving me
Melt together and become entwined
In our melody

Kiss me
Because both of us are rough around the edges
Together, we become one perfectly
Because both of us are rough around the edges
Together, we become one perfectly

Words and actions agree perfectly
I don’t say “Yes” or “No” clearly, so we quarrel
But as I thought, you’re a girl that’s in tune with the me that can’t decide what to eat
I’m not a competitive man, but because I want to show you the manly parts of myself***
Today is gloomy****
Because I’m motivated to become twice the man I am, I turn****
But then we reconcile with a kiss

The spoiled and wilful you,
And the me who does nothing but worry
I wonder where we’re so well-matched?
Sometimes I don’t know
But, because we’re a couple with both extremes
Being with someone else is no good
If the two of us become complete, it will be a happy day

Kiss me
Because both of us are rough around the edges
Together, we become one perfectly
Because both of us are rough around the edges
Together, we become one perfectly

Notes:
*"B-type" as in "B blood type", so she has the typical "B-type" personality characteristics
**I guess it's like she's this weird creature that defies logic?
***, ****, ***** I'm not 100% sure about these lines.

The Birthday - Tsumeato (english translation)

This one is kind of frustrating. I don't know if I'm completely off the mark with some of these lines or not.



爪痕 / Scars

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

Small scratches were left behind
I wonder if that girl is already laughing now*

I thought the summer would continue without end
I thought the summer would continue without end

Gentle scratches, like clouds
Changed shape and were washed away**

I thought the summer would continue without end
I thought the summer would continue without end

I was thinking about forgetting it completely, but
The scars won’t disappear
Won’t disappear
I wanted to forget it completely, but
The scars won’t disappear
Won’t disappear

If I had held her gently that time
I wonder if that girl would still be laughing now

The gingko forest was still green
I thought the summer would continue without end

I was thinking about forgetting it completely, but
The scars won’t disappear
Won’t disappear
I wanted to forget it completely, but
The scars won’t disappear
Won’t disappear

Notes:
*, ** I'm not sure about these lines. There are a lot of very subtle differences between some of these lines using particles and I don't know exactly what Chiba means.

爪痕 / Tsumeato

ROSSO - Hitogoroshi (english translation)

I think this one is pretty accurate.

人殺し / Murderer*

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: ROSSO

The two of us are lovers
I don’t know her name

I said “Let’s leave this city at dawn, on the first train”
The morning sun shone in from the window, lighting the two of us
There were cookie crumbs in the coat we were wrapped up in

It’s too green, that meadow we’d planned to go to
But, because this train wouldn’t make it there
At that time, I didn’t know
The policemen are everywhere

The two of us are lovers
I don’t know her name

Notes:
*You can read hitogoroshi as either "murder" or "murderer". I think it's interesting how dramatically the story in this song changes depending on which one you choose.

人殺し / Hitogoroshi

MO'SOME TONEBENDER - You Are Rock'n Roll (english translation)

Pretty straightforward. It's nice to do something that makes sense every now and then.



You Are Rock'n Roll

Music and Lyrics: Kazuhiro Momo

I’ve thought about a murderer’s feelings before
Because both guys that can’t stomach the thought of killing,
And hateful guys exist
But, of course, even so,
I don’t kill people
Because that’s a bad thing to do

That’s obvious, isn’t it?
That’s obvious, isn’t it?
That’s obvious, isn’t it?
That’s obvious, isn’t it?

When I feel like that, I hang an electric guitar from my shoulder,
I turn all of my amp’s knobs on full
And I strum until my fingers are covered in blood
Until I’ve forced it all out*
With just that, I feel the best
Only that is the best

That’s obvious, isn’t it?
That’s obvious, isn’t it?
That’s obvious, isn’t it?
That’s obvious, isn’t it?

If you ever think about something similar
It’s okay if you try it once
While you’re covered with and writhing in the noise
Let out a scream
Even if you’re trying to sing a delinquent’s song, it’s okay
You’ll probably see that just that feeling is the best
Only that is the best

That’s obvious, isn’t it?
That’s obvious, isn’t it?
That’s obvious, isn’t it?
That’s obvious, isn’t it?

It’s okay to rock 'n roll
It’s okay to rock 'n roll
It’s okay to rock 'n roll
It’s okay to rock 'n roll

Notes:
*Actually says “vomit/spit” it all out, but “Until I’ve puked it all out” seems a little crude

You Are Rock'n Roll

Thee Michelle Gun Elephant - Pinhead Cranberry Dance (english translation)

For a song called Pinhead Cranberry Dance, I think this makes a surprising amount of sense.

ピンヘッド・クランベリー・ダンス / Pinhead Cranberry Dance

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: Thee Michelle Gun Elephant

Wings sprouted from my back
I’m swimming in the muddy sky
At the edge of the world, 200 feet up
A rolling boogie will shake again tonight*

Wet with evening dew, I can hear the needle's crazy soda bop

Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance

There’s no helping it,
I’m being enchanted by the blurring, circus-coloured walls

Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance

In a red room, a lover’s dance
A worn-out velvet sofa laughs
My face is the colour of a ripe cranberry
A rolling boogie will shake again tonight

Wings with no feeling sprouted**
Wings sprouted from my back

Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance

Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance
Pinhead cranberry dance

The Birthday - Tabarusa (english translation)

"Tabarusa" seems to be a person's name?

タバルサ / Tabarusa

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

Like checking a pocketwatch,
I want to open and look inside that girl’s heart
And for it to be something transparent
Like the cherry blossom-coloured flesh of a fruit

I’m searching for love
What kind of thing is it?
There’s no answer, but that girl knew
Higher than the sky
Deeper than the sea
I want to see inside you*

Even if I let out a sigh
The unpleasant feeling won’t leave my heart
Even if I let out a sigh
A pure feeling won’t be born in my heart
Tabarusa

Forced away from the center line, I ran
Cut and bruised, I fell
I laughed, covered in grass
I wonder what was so funny
But even now, I can still laugh

Even if I let out a sigh
The unpleasant feeling won’t leave my heart
Even if I let out a sigh
A pure feeling won’t be born in my heart
Tabarusa

I wonder what those grey eyes are looking at?
Tabarusa can't bear to look at me**
Like I'm a train robbery or a UFO***

Even if I let out a sigh
The unpleasant feeling won’t leave my heart
Even if I let out a sigh
A pure feeling won’t be born in my heart

Tabarusa

THEATRE BROOK - Mabataki (english translation)

I think what I have for the chorus is okay, but those first two verses might be a little wonky.



まばたき / Blink

Music and Lyrics: Sato Taiji

The moment I blinked, I lost sight of it
There was a flash of brilliance, and my sigh became an afterimage, leaving behind a trace*

We repeat it over and over
Do you see the mistake?
Are we layering on words, taking white and calling it black?**

Well, if you want to take off from this place now, you need courage
Open the door, and take a deep breath
That's it, so you can take off from here, strengthen your resolve
Open the door, and take one step forward

The moment I blinked, I lost sight of it
There was a flash of brilliance, and my sigh became an afterimage, leaving behind a trace

Well, if you want to take off from this place now, you need courage
Open the door, and take a deep breath
That's it, so you can take off from here, strengthen your resolve
Open the door, and take one step forward

Since the night always comes on with soft steps,
If you want to meet the morning glow soon, hurry
Hurry, for tomorrow's sunrise

Well, if you want to take off from this place now, you need courage
Open the door, and take a deep breath
That's it, so you can take off from here, strengthen your resolve
Open the door, and take one step forward

Open the door
And step forward

Notes:
*,** Not sure about these lines at all

POSSIBILITY - Yume Hana (english translation)

夢花 / Dream Flower

Lyrics: 43K, EIG
Music: HAYATO, SHIMADA, kazu-o

Your eyes say goodbye to tears
Plant the seed of a smile
And rainy days will be a memory
Sunshine makes rainbows
Oh yeah

Held in your heart, one flower
Cry, and then let the tears dry up
Endless trip for dream again*
Starting over on your bare feet

Your eyes say goodbye to tears
Plant the seed of a smile
And rainy days will be a memory
Sunshine makes rainbows
Oh yeah
The rain returns to the ground
And goes through roots
That’s how flowers bloom**
Even if it’s clumsy
Oh yeah

Dreams don’t have to wither yet
So not one of them is useless
Even if the future that you will paint one day is not a success
And the wind that blows against you is merciless
Everyone has failures
Those tears too will one day help you to grow***
It’s not too late
Now, your body is strong
You’re covered with scars, but continue as you are

Hey, don’t be afraid
That’s right, overcome your sadness
Live your life for yourself
Make the flower of your dream bloom in your own colour

Your eyes say goodbye to tears
Plant the seed of a smile
And rainy days will be a memory
Sunshine makes rainbows
Oh yeah
The rain returns to the ground
And goes through roots
That’s how flowers bloom
Even if it’s clumsy
Oh yeah

Oh Oh Oh

Notes:
*It says this in English, and I’m not really sure how to rephrase it
**Lit. “That’s the theory of how flowers bloom”
***Lit. “Those tears too will one day become fertilizer”, but that sounds kind of unpleasant in English

POSSIBILITY - Sayonara (english translation)

サヨナラ / Goodbye

Lyrics: 43K, EIG
Music: HAYATO, SHIMADA, kazu-o

It can’t be goodbye*
You were everything to me
If my wish were to come true,
I’d want to feel you sleeping beside me**
Goodbye

(43K)
Leaning against your shoulder, I fall asleep
When I wake up, you’ve left the room

(EIG)
Now that I can’t hear that kind voice saying “I’m home” and “Goodnight”
The one-room entranceway and this single bed can both feel so wide
Every night I hold my cellphone tightly, waiting for a call from you
Well, in our pictures, even now, we can still smile

It can’t be goodbye
You were everything to me
If my wish were to come true,
I’d want to feel you sleeping beside me
Goodbye

(43K)
Holding hands, we walked in Enoshima
Your footprints alone vanished in the waves

(EIG)
Ah, that day on the beach we ran around in circles, laughing like children
Standing together with my arm on your shoulder, we bathed in the sun
We competed, showing off our tans
I truly loved you
And I wanted to tell you once more
But this voice can’t reach
And we can’t go back to that day

It can’t be goodbye
You were everything to me
If my wish were to come true,
I’d want to feel you sleeping beside me
Goodbye

(43K)
Leaving behind just my memories, you discreetly slip away
I yearn for you (Your cigarettes and dirty shirts too)
I yearn for you (And your long, thin fingers too)
Still, I search for you
How many seasons will need to pass before I can make my heart reset?
You’re dear to me (Your slightly cracked voice too)
You’re dear to me (Your soft lips too)
I just want to see you
I want to see you...

It can’t be goodbye
You were everything to me
If I close my eyes, you're still laughing
I won’t forget the days I spent loving you
If I were reborn, I wonder if I would love you again…

Notes:
*Or maybe something like "I can't say goodbye"?
**Not sure about this

One thing I really like about POSSIBILITY is that their raps have the same overarching theme, and there's a strong feeling of unity about the verses. A lot of rappers sort of break a song up into a bunch of little solo performances that are completely unrelated without the music, but the images in EIG and 43K's raps seem like two slightly different halves of the same whole.

Like 43K brings up an image of leaning against someone's shoulder, and then EIG uses a word that means to stand shoulder-to-shoulder. Or 43K talks about footprints in the sand being washed away and then EIG's verse is about running around on the beach. I think there's something really beautiful about that.

The Birthday - Nazeka Kyou wa (english translation)

This one doesn't make much sense. Not sure if it's my sketchy Japanese skills, or just Chiba being Chiba.



なぜか今日は / Somehow, Today

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

Sunday, Shinjuku fishnet tights
On the way home from the supermarket
A smiling blonde with a baby carriage and shorts on Bird Day*

My friend flies a black bicycle
The shy driver is always gazing at the sky

Somehow, today I feel things like murder can’t happen
But, on the other hand, I also feel like something will

The crying mascara ground
Hey, smile
That’s it, stand up
It’s time for an afternoon snack
Shall we go to eat something sweet?

Somehow, today I feel things like murder can’t happen
But, on the other hand, I also feel like something will

Something today
But surely today
But something today
But surely today

Cinderella grew wings and took off
She keeps forgetting her shoes, but she’s happy

Somehow, today I feel things like murder can’t happen
But, on the other hand, I also feel like something will

Something today
But surely today
But something today
But surely today

La la la my humming melted into the sky
La la la my humming disappeared into the sky

Notes:
*"Bird Day"?

It's a very straightforward song, so I think this is fairly accurate.

But, if it’s now, because it’s with you; let’s love each other
Even if it’s only for two seconds

Once, I forgot a problem

Once, I caused a problem

But, if it’s now, because it’s with you; let’s love each other

The Birthday - Namida ga Koboresou (english translation)



涙がこぼれそう / The Tears Seem to Overflow

Lyrics: Chiba Yusuke
Music: The Birthday

I searched for the phone
I’ve got to ask that girl
Where am I now?

On a night that seemed broken, I fell in the rotary*
Blood and iron mixed
Somehow, the taste was a bit nostalgic

From the asphalt, I could hear the London punk
I didn’t want to stand up, and said I didn’t care what happened to me

From the seemingly overflowing tears, a love call
A love call to that girl

With a sidelong glance, I saw a fox and a mole kissing
What is pure?
Someone tell me

From the seemingly overflowing tears, a love call
A love call to that girl

Is something wrong?
I don’t know
I don’t want to ask
One of my shoes disappeared somewhere
What should I do?
Where should I go?
But hey,
Honestly
Really

Morning comes and the crow mother and child call out together
I become a little happier and stand up

From the seemingly overflowing tears, a love call
A love call to that girl
From the seemingly overflowing tears, a love call
A love call to that girl

Notes:
* I don't know what exactly he means by a "rotary", but that's definitely what it says. It seems to be a place he fell/fainted in.

MO'SOME TONEBENDER - Idiot (romaji only)

Idiot

Lyrics and music: Kazuhiro Momo

Atedo nai shinkuu no yoru
Hitori gyakuryuu shite ita
Oyogikata ga wakaranakute
IPITSU na kakkou de tatteta
Sono uchi nani ga shitakatta no ka
Wasurete-shimatte
Shikata nai kara hashiri-dashita

Hitonami ni afurekaeru machi o kukuri-nugete itta
Nishi no yozora BIRU no sukima tsuki ga narande hashitteta
Keshiki tobashite
Shikai no soto e
Kasumu ishiki wa togiretogirete
Teashi ga chigire sou na kurai ni
SUPIIDO agete tada yamikumo ni hashitta

Machi no nioi mo
Kono fuukei mo
Te ni shita mono mo
Kono sekai mo
Zenbu keshite hashitte
Me no mae ga mienaku naru made
Dare no koe mo kikoenaku naru made
Kono kankaku ga nakunaru made
Shiro no sekai ni suikomareru made

MO'SOME TONEBENDER - Rockin' Luuura (english translation)

This is kind of sketchy, but I put it up because I like the images in it so much. It's such a nasty rock song.



ロッキンルーラ / Rockin' Ruler

Music and lyrics: Kazuhiro Momo

The ground shakes
The walls tumble down
It pierces through your eardrums and under the crown of your head*
Rockin’ ruler**

My whole body is going numb
Like I’ve already jumped out of it
My red blood is boiling
And my flesh is dancing wildly
I stood up and
It was like I could shoot forward***

My head is shook
Perfect rockin’ ruler

What can you see?
You can see something?
I can see everything
Bye-bye world,
I’m a rockin’ ruler

Please
Flutter like a butterfly
Sting wildly like a bee
In this moment, taste both heaven and hell
Blow off somewhere like a hurricane
Make yourself boneless like an amoeba

Tear open your fresh wounds and rub salt into them
Rockin’ ruler

What can you see?
You can see something?
I can see everything
Bye-bye world,
I’m a rockin’ ruler

Notes:
*Not sure about the second part
** I don't really know if it's supposed to be "Luuura" or "Ruler" or what, but I assume "ruler" because that makes the most sense in context
*** Not sure about this

ロッキンルーラ / ROKKIN RUURA

Jimen ga yureru kabe ga kuzure-ochiru
Komaku o tsuki-yabutte nouten chokka
ROKKIN RUURA

Karada-juu ga SHIBIRERU mou tobidashi sou da
Akai chi ga wakiagatteru niku wa odori-makutteru
Tsutatta manma ja irare-sou ni nai ze

ATAMA o yusaburarete kanzenmuketsu ROKKIN RUURA

Nani ga mieru
Nanika mieteru
Zenbu mieru
BAIBAI sekai ORE wa ROKKIN RUURA

Onegai
CHOU no you ni matte yo
HACHI no you ni sashi-makutte yo
Tengoku to jigoku o isshun de aji-wasete
HARIKEEN mitai ni dokka e fukitobashite
AMEEBA mitai ni honenuki ni shite yo

Namakizu hippegashite shio surikonde ROKKINRUURA

Nani ga mieru
Nanika mieteru
Zenbu mieru
BAIBAI sekai ORE wa ROKKIN RUURA

andymori - Kanojo (english translation)

彼女 / She*

Music and Lyrics: Oyamada Souhei

What should I do if that girl opens her heart to her friends about her relationship troubles?
That girl calling out my name is just the stuff of dreams, isn’t it?

Still, every night when I’m about to fall asleep, I end up thinking about her
I even think about things like sneaking into her room and hiding in the closet

These wild ideas just keep growing

Even the way she writes is beautiful
And somehow the way she walks is pretty too
Lalalalalala…Her voice is wonderful too
And there’s absolutely no doubt that she’s a kind-hearted person as well

I’ll go to the park with that girl, to the sea, to the mountains, to the river, to the street corners of foreign countries, to the very centre of the desert
And ten years later, when it’s become affordable, we’ll travel through space

These fantasies just keep growing
We’ll be gazing at the blue, blue earth together

She'll smile just for me
She’s taken flight in my heart

These fantasies just keep growing

Notes:
*Could also be "Girlfriend?

彼女 / Kanojo

Kanojo ga koi no nayami o tomodachi ni uchiakete itara dou shiyou
Kanojo ga boku no namae o yonde-kureru nante yume no hanashi sa

Soredemo maiban nemuri ni tsuku koro ni kanojo no koto o kangaete-shimau n da
Kanojo no heya ni nantoka shinobikonde awatete KUROOZETTO ni kakuretari nanka shite

Sonna mousou o fukuramasete iru no sa

Kanojo no kakuji wa totemo kirei de
Aruki-kata mo nandaka kirei de
RARARARARARARARA…koe mo subarashikute kitto kokoro mo yasashii hito ni chigainai

Kanojo to kouen ni umi ni yama ni kawa ni shiranai kuni no machikado ni sabaku no domannaka ni yuku
Juu-nen-go ni wa o-tegaru ni natta uchuuryokou ni yuku

Sonna mousou o fukuramasete iru no sa
Aoi aoi chikyuu o futari de nagameru n da

Kanojo ga warau
Boku no tame ni
Kanojo ga tobikonde-kuru
Boku no mune ni

Sonna mousou o fukuramasete iru no sa
