Good Morning America - Shinzou Egutte (english translation)

You can really tell that they used to be an emo band sometimes.



心臓抉って / Gouging Out My Heart*

Music and Lyrics: Shingo Kanehiro

Today again,
I’m searching
Searching for the place where I belong

I still want to be needed by someone, but
No matter how many times I change*, it’s affecting me
The wind in this city is gouging out my heart

It’s gouging out my heart
Blowing through me
I’ve even started to get used to the feeling
It’s gouging out my heart
The world that I’ve projected my heart out into
Has left me feeling even more alone

Even the crows digging through the trash that have divided up this city seem to be saying,
“I wish people like you’d just die and become food for me”
Their mocking gaze is gouging out my heart

It’s gouging out my heart
Piercing through me
I’ve even started to get used to the feeling
If it’s going to gouge out my heart,
Then hey, at least show me what it’s like to feel love in my heart for once***

Everyone is experiencing the same thing
Swinging back and forth from despair to hope
Even though I know that it’s just a kind of paper mache****,
Somehow I end up forgetting
It’s so close that I can’t see it,
But today as well, I’m living because of someone else’s support

It’s gouging out my heart

It’s gouging out my heart
This common love wets my cheek and changes into tears
If it’s going to gouge out my heart,
Then hey, show me what it’s like to feel love in my heart again and again

Notes:
*It looks like you can read “egutte” literally as “gouge/hollow/dig out” or figuratively as “to cause emotional pain”, but I like “gouging out my heart” because it sounds extra dramatic - plus there’s a more painful connotation than digging. Doesn’t sound as good if you say “This city hurts my heart”.
**He just says “change”, I’m not sure if he means no matter how he changes himself or if he means changing partners, like no matter how many people he tries to get close to it doesn’t work out
***Not sure about this line
****Not sure if I’m reading this wrong, but maybe recovering from the bad emotions is like paper mache-ing over them?

Twitter Translations

This is a general post for translations of tweets that I find interesting for whatever reason.

BALZAC

https://twitter.com/HIROSUKE_BALZAC/status/449511980953374721

HIROSUKE: Drawn by Hirosuke Nishiyama. Cat towels and cat handkerchiefs.
Takeshi Ueda (AA=): Cute.
HIROSUKE: Ahaha~! If you use one of these to wipe off sweat during one of your shows big bro* I'm going to laugh.

^*HIROSUKE refers to him as "Nii-san"

https://twitter.com/_aaequal/status/494476800467034113

Takeshi Ueda (AA=): Thank you for yesterday! Thanks to the BALZAC team, I always feel like Osaka is my home (lol). Thanks! BALZAC!
HIROSUKE: Osaka is your home! And since it is, from now on please call kitsune udon "ketsune udon"!
Takeshi: I have a sneaking suspicion that the only person who calls it "ketsune udon" is HIROSUKE...

https://twitter.com/HIROSUKE_BALZAC/status/680349387839504384

Takeshi Ueda (AA=): This is the BALZAC parka that I'm wearing in the "M SPECIES" video. A person that "M SPECIES" was really important to, HIROSUKE, made this parka especially for the music video.
HIROSUKE: I'm honoured that you wore it!


HER NAME IN BLOOD

https://twitter.com/ikepy_HNIB/status/497431618001190912

Ikepy: Bad! Bad! Steroids are bad! Definitely.


Hi-STANDARD

https://twitter.com/AKIHIRONAMBA/status/623844503833714688

Akihiro Namba: Iya, Ken-kun* was shining!! !!
Ken Band is the best ( ´ ▽ ` )ﾉ
Today was fun 〜☆彡
Everyone, really, thank you,,
Let's have fun tomorrow too!!!!!

https://twitter.com/AKIHIRONAMBA/status/624567597736964096

Namba: I instantly understood after seeing Ken-kun's facial expressions why he was appearing on Music Station. Every second was thrilling. It was effortless, but I couldn't take my eyes off him. I was overflowing with feelings after seeing his performance. He instantly communicated his message to the entire country. I wonder if there are any other artists like that around. Ken-kun is a genius.

^*He's talking about Ken Yokoyama in both of these


Hysteric Panic

https://twitter.com/7x3x7x3/status/1065162669605285893

Tomo: I started a diet in preparation for the tour the other day, and it's going well at the moment because I'm already down 2~3kg, but yesterday Tackrou suddenly said "Huh? Did you gain weight?" and without thinking I responded "Huh? But I didn't gain weight! I lost weight! How did you not notice? Ugh! Men are really insensitive!" and my inner girl came out.


IRON ATTACK!

http://p.twipple.jp/nZ8AY

IRON-CHINO: Even in a group full of kind members like IRON ATTACK!, these three (Yuuma, Sakathan and Kira) are especially good people. The gap between their looks and personality is amazing.


NOA

https://twitter.com/aki_noa/status/594146604526895104

Aki: My newly-formed band World's End Super Nova is recruiting members.
Now we're especially interested in finding someone to fill the bass&chorus and guitar&chorus roles.
We don't really care about age or gender.
If you're interested, please reply or direct message me.
I look forward to working with you.

https://twitter.com/aki_noa/

Aki's Profile: I'm Aki, the vocalist and guitarist of World's End Super Nova. We're currently recruiting every part except for male vocals and drums. I live with a rabbit named Hamachi. I like drawing pictures. World's End Super Nova is not ready to go yet. NOA is currently on an indefinite hiatus.

https://twitter.com/noa_pocky/status/596300410605834240

Pocky: Hell is over. Not being in a band for about four months was hell, and on May 5th at the Beginning of Hell (or "Jigoku no Hajimari"?) live, that hell ended. That's good, isn't it? The support guitarist was Kenshi-kun (ex.minor ear). Thank you. First of all, I'm going to change the name.

https://twitter.com/noa_pocky/status/597740270273171457

Pocky: zigoku no hajimari (planning to change the name) has two more lives in May:
the 24th at Shinsaibashi BRONZE and the 28th at Shinsaibashi Hokage.
The band still isn't quite complete yet, but that makes it kind of interesting now.
Please come see us.

https://twitter.com/noa_pocky/status/602454438591102978

Pocky: I said it at the live today as well, but we've decided on the band name.
Danablu.
We're called "ダナブルー". ("DANABURUU")
Please support us.

https://twitter.com/aki_noa/status/621602490442604544

Aki: World's End Super Nova will start live activities at Shinsaibashi Hokage on September 16th.
A lot of things happened, and it's a little late, but I think being onstage makes me happier than anything else.
There will be a lot of emotions at this live.
Please support us.

https://twitter.com/Danablu_osaka/status/679559039890489346

Danablu: [Notice] Around midnight today Danablu will be dropping a Christmas present. The time depends on my job. I think it will be around 1:30 am.

https://twitter.com/Danablu_osaka/status/679708288921907200

Danablu: [Merry Retweet]
Limited to December 24, 25
We've uploaded a video where you can listen to the full version of our new song "Head light"!!
Since it's supposed to be a Christmas present, when Christmas is over it'll disappear!!
Hurry and watch it!!


RIZE

https://twitter.com/kenken_RIZE/status/493434020542156802

KenKen: "I knew this day would come someday.
NAKA*, welcome back.
Let's make music together again someday, okay?
I've been a big fan of your playing since I was in elementary school."

^*Former RIZE guitarist Nakao Yoshihiro, who is playing with Jesse in The BONEZ now.)

https://twitter.com/kenken_RIZE/status/625144757455425536

KenKen: Aa, Missile Girl Scoot are coming back today? I want to see them. I want to see them so bad I could die. And I want to play a show with them soon!

https://twitter.com/kenken_RIZE/status/711168236067229696

KenKen: The 13th GG is over!
I was able to meet Naoki-chan, who I just can't help loving, and I'm still hyped up.


THE SOUND BEE HD

https://twitter.com/starwaverecords/status/628884253799903232

Kiwamu: Today I was able to see Daisuke-san for just a little bit! It seems like he's having a hard time, but the whole time he was saying that he's going to try hard to fight this illness because he wants to come back to the stage quickly.

https://twitter.com/xkakerux0712/status/630029662119276544

Kakeru (Scarlet Valse): I wanted to post this today. Today, I sang a song with THE SOUND BEE HD!
I wonder if this "for DaISUKE" prayer I wrote on my face for the performance reached him?

https://twitter.com/lixaltair_yuu/status/630031665306308609

Yuu: I'll have faith and wait patiently for you. I'll do everything I can to keep THE SOUND BEE HD ready for you to pick up activities immediately when you're ready.

https://twitter.com/DADA__official/status/629630117489160192

Dada (VELVET EDEN): Everyone is waiting for you, praying for you, so you're not alone Daisuke-san


the telephones

https://twitter.com/nobu_okamoto2/status/595082066804355073/photo/1

Nobu: Yesterday at Japan Jam! Cute GEN-chan and a cute 30 year-old prince!* #handsome guys

^*Masato Kanai from BIGMAMA

https://twitter.com/nobu_okamoto2/status/594815556299001856

GEN: Today as well, I'm receiving Nobu-san's affection.
Nobu: So cute!

https://twitter.com/Akira_Ishige/status/627086994997293056

Nobu: I have an announcement!
Nobuaki Okamoto from the telephones has gotten married!!
The details are written on my blog:
http://ameblo.jp/nobuakiokamoto/
^ Ishige: Congrats! Blessings from the bottom of my heart

https://twitter.com/Akira_Ishige/status/627093666977288193

Ishige: And with this, I'm the only single member of the telephones left~!
Well, it seems like days where I'll be immersing myself in music will be starting up soon.
I felt this way when Ryohei and Seiji-kun got married too, but the fact that my longtime friend, who also happens to be my bandmate, is getting married really makes me happy.


THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS

https://twitter.com/Koichi3LDK/status/561891516432404483

Wata*: Glielmo Ko-ichi from Saneru** gave me this drawing. (I don't need it, lol)
Ko-ichi: Then give it back---!

^*The owner of Trust Records, their label before they went major
**Short for THREE LIGHTS DOWN KINGS (san = 3, eru = L, so "3L")

https://twitter.com/Koichi3LDK/status/739093663704174592

Ko-ichi: u-ya, NORI, JUNE, thank you for the wonderful time we spent together.
I'm very grateful. So you can shine even more brilliantly in the future, I'll be cheering you on from the bottom of my heart.*

^*They just played their last live with Ko-ichi when this was posted. The other three members have announced that they will continue the band without him.

Apology

I'll be unable to attend the combined in-store event* that's being held today because I'm in poor physical condition.

The arrhythmia that came from my heart attack causes problems during times when the weather is too hot or cold.

I'm very sorry.

Notes:
*The in-store is for the "Starwave Records Vol. 3" omnibus DVD. Most of the singers from the bands on it are attending.

Shinigami* and Prince

I'm with Prince Rui from Misaruka.

He's a very straightforward, pure and earnest man.

I really like that about him.  

Notes:
*"God of death". He calls himself "shinigami" a lot, since his current costume is supposed to look like one.

Good Morning America - Sora bakari mite ita (english translation)

空ばかり見ていた / I Was Only Looking at the Sky

Music and Lyrics: Shingo Kanehiro

I’ve only been letting my delusions and imagination grow
This reality irritates me more and more

I’m frustrated now because it’s not the way I’d hoped it would be
I’ve always been living in a state of anxiety

I was only looking at the sky

I’m just seeing delusions and my imagination
But in this space I can escape and I’m not worried anymore

No, it’s wrong
What I need to look at can’t be decorated
Because it’s reality

It can’t be helped
Is this my destiny?
To let my dreams be crushed in the hustle and bustle of this world
To wander through my days without goals
And to carry this destination-less feeling with me

I was only looking at the sky
