Redbull RASEN #27 - MIKADO & Lisa lil vinci verses only (english translation)

I was watching the first few rounds of Rapstar earlier this year, so this particular Rasen video made an impression on me. I got a sudden urge to try to translate some of it yesterday.

Rapstar is an online show where up-and-coming rappers compete to win a cash prize. To enter, you submit a short video rapping over one of the instrumental tracks they provide, and they pick out a bunch of those videos and share them on social media before the show starts. For the actual show, they choose a much smaller number of contestants from the videos and a panel of judges decides who advances through each round based on performances, etc.

Rasen is a video series from Redbull Japan that is another big exposure opportunity. The four guys in this all had their videos shared on Rapstar’s social media and got a good response, but only MIKADO was picked to appear on the show, and he was eliminated after the first performance round. So, this was a chance for three of them to show how they would have done if they had the opportunity to perform, and it’s a bit of a do-over for MIKADO.

I only really liked MIKADO and Lisa lil vinci’s parts, so I only translated those two. I was really charmed by how much they all cheered for each other throughout the whole thing though.

MIKADO

Homunculu$’s beats
Like I thought, they suit me*
Last time I came to Tokyo I took the overnight bus, today it was the bullet train
Got stepped on over and over again, feel like jirai-kei
Feeling the waves by the sea side
I get told “You’re like him” but**
Those comments aren’t worth much
Gotta force my way through but I’ll do it, like piercing a hole
They hate me, but I’m weighing on their minds, it’s like they’re in love
Got the munchies so I gulp down food
And make money with my voice
Look mom, even though I’m a drug baby I’m getting bands
I get paid for this too, so it’s good promo, isn’t it?
To get this far with no talent, I don’t have a four leaf clover, it’s got five leaves
Who is the Rapstar? I got a DM that said “MIKADO”
If Homu-san is Metro, I’m Future, it’s like that
Smoking weed with a can of Redbull, it’s like that
From Chikkou to Tokyo, but it’s nothing, that doesn’t amount to much***

Lisa lil vinci

I got shot with an arrow by cupid
You silent sheep are stupid
I get a mic stand like JoJo
I’m still going up, the story is still in its first chapter
I’m not telling negative stories, now,
Chugging a Redbull is the requirement
Everyone noticed,
“Was this kind of guy in Japan??”
I don’t have time to waste paying attention to the number of hearts on my posts
I’m feeling good, so it’s good
You’ll wake up sometime
And see I’m a star like Vegeta
The weak yen might be a chance for us, really
For both haters and fans, inside my head is an amusement park
Everyone says I’m not being acknowledged,
But that’s not it
I’m a ghost member of the scene****
I’m messing around yelling “Sturdy!!”
Emptying the sparkling
I’m good with just my girl and my friends
Only hitting hard when I move
It’s right down the centre, isn’t it, Redbull?

Notes:
*Homunculu$ produced the track for this Rasen video, and MIKADO has worked with him a lot. This is also a reference to his Rapstar audition video. He applied using Homunculu$’s track and started with the line “Homunculu$’s beats suit me the best”
**MIKADO gets compared to Watson a lot.
***Chikkou is his hometown in Wakayama
****Meaning someone who signs up for a club and then doesn’t actually do the activity. His audition video was one of the more popular ones, so he got a lot of promotion out of it even though he wasn’t on the show

MIKADO

Ray – BE:FIRST’s honest talk! The members show their unexpected true faces? (english translation)

This one features all the members of BE:FIRST deciding what they'd all be "FIRST" at. It's a lot of fun. 

Lol, poor LEO. I didn't translate RYOKI's individual Ray interview, but in his description of LEO he calls him "the type whose charm comes out when you tease him", and you can really see that he hit the nail on the head. ^^;

Original article: https://ray-web.jp/193475

Ray – BE:FIRST’s honest talk! The members show their unexpected true faces?

Q: If you were to call yourself “FIRST” at something, what would it be?

LEO: Yes! I wonder what “FIRST” I would be (excited).

JUNON & RYOKI: Wouldn’t you be “Lame FIRST”?

LEO: Oi! (laughs)

RYOKI: In a good way.

SHUNTO: What do you mean ‘lame in a good way’!? (laughs)

RYUHEI: I’ve got it! “Passion FIRST”!

SOTA: That’s it! He’s good at putting the things people want to say into words. That’s why, he’s lame in a good way. (laughs)*
(*As in, LEO says things people aren’t usually willing or able to express out loud, so he says lots of corny, but passionate things.)

LEO: Stop it! (laughs) Let’s go on to the next person. Uh, how about RYOKI? All together now! “Detonator FIRST”!* …hey, only I said something!
(*I think what he means here is RYOKI adds the “explosive” moments to their performances)

RYOKI: What’s that supposed to be? (laughs)

MANATO: Wouldn’t RYOKI be “Binge eating FIRST”?

LEO: That’s it!

RYOKI: Recently, I’ve been holding back. But honestly, I wanna eat!

SOTA: Since RYOKI can eat without getting fat, he’d be “Gastroptosis FIRST”. No, maybe something like “Capacity FIRST”. His stomach has a high capacity.

LEO: Let’s not restrict it to his stomach, he has a high capacity for lots of things. Including knowledge.

JUNON: He’s good at developing a knack for things too, so it’d be good to write it in hiragana as “Youryou FIRST”*, wouldn’t it? (laughs)
(*both 容量 “capacity” and 要領 “knack” can be read as “youryou”)

SOTA: While we’re on the topic of JUNON, how about “Seems to not be enjoying life FIRST”?

JUNON: Wait a minute! That’s not right! (laughs)

SHUNTO: No, it’d be “Always looking sleepy FIRST”.

RYUHEI: That’s calming though, so I’d say “Calming FIRST”.

RYOKI: Isn’t it “Different tension FIRST”? Because the rise and fall of his energy level is pretty drastic. (laughs)

JUNON: That’s SHUNTO.

LEO: There’ve been lots of suggestions, but I think “calming” gives off the best feeling. But he can be annoying when he gets loud!

JUNON: It’s because my switch gets turned on after 6pm.

LEO: Since he gets livelier at night, what about “Nocturnal FIRST”?

SHUNTO: JUNON-kun’s tension level is low in the morning, isn’t it?

LEO: Well, what about RYUHEI…!?

JUNON: Youth, youth!

LEO: How about “Fresh FIRST”!?

RYOKI: Ehh, what’s “Fresh”!? (laughs)

SOTA: What about “Sweet tooth FIRST”?

ALL: Ah~!!

LEO: Earlier, RYUHEI let me drink his customized matcha Frappuccino, but it was so sweet! I hit my limit right away.

JUNON: Even though everyone was eating a meal after a live, RYUHEI was the only one eating pudding, ice cream and cream puffs.

RYUHEI: I was tasting and comparing them. Coffee jelly and mandarin jelly, pudding and chocolate pudding, cream puffs and…what was it? Uh…

LEO: You, how many middle school dreams are you gonna fulfill!?

RYOKI: He is fulfilling them, isn’t he. (laughs)

RYUHEI: Yeah definitely, I do eat an astonishing amount of sweets. Sometimes I worry about it.

MANATO: Don’t worry, you’re still only 15.

LEO: What would SHUNTO be? “Different tension FIRST”!?

SHUNTO: That was said before.

JUNON: When he gets hungry, his tension level becomes zero.

SOTA: Once food is in front of him, it immediately goes up.

JUNON: I know! When I see that look on his face, I get happy too. But once he’s done eating, it quickly goes down. (laughs)

SOTA: Right, once we’re done eating and we’re on the way back to rehearsal, he lets out a sigh like “Haa~”.

MANATO: Since he eats fast, the time he’s happy is short.

SOTA: MANATO is “My pace FIRST”. Well, because he’s super my pace.*
(*Someone who does things at their own pace or their own way, often disregarding others)

RYUHEI: No, he’s ultra, or even hyper my pace!

SHUNTO: MANATO is the type of guy that when he says “I’ll come later”, he’ll definitely never come. (laughs) If he said “If I can, I’ll come” I’d understand that there’d be a high probability he wouldn’t show, but when you say “I’ll come later”, doesn’t that mean he’s coming? But MANATO doesn’t come. And he loves his home.

MANATO: Yeah, I love my home.

RYUHEI: He’ll often say “I have to do laundry, so I’m going home”.

JUNON: Even though he lives alone, he’ll say he has a curfew. But that curfew time seems to be different every time. (laughs)

SHUNTO: SOTA-kun would be “Puzzling love of cleanliness FIRST”.

LEO: Yeah. When it comes to his area, he’s really fastidious.

RYOKI: It’s not anytime, anywhere though, the unevenness of it is really amazing, sometimes it’s like “Ehh, it’s okay over there!” (laughs).

LEO: When I went to SOTA’s place, he made me change into loungewear he’d prepared by the entranceway and my cell phone was even disinfected.

SOTA: My way of looking at it is “My home FIRST”. I definitely don’t want my area to get dirty.

LEO: What about other peoples’ homes?

SOTA: I don’t worry about that at all (laughs).

Ray – The kindest member is RYOKI ♡ 7 Questions for BE:FIRST’s LEO (english translation)

Original article: https://ray-web.jp/190802

The kindest member is RYOKI ♡ 7 Questions for BE:FIRST’s LEO

Q: How has your opinion of each member changed since you first met?

SOTA
In the third screening, he was leaning far back on his chair so I thought “Wow, that guy must be pretty brazen”. But, in truth, he was trying to avoid going to the bathroom (lol). These days, it’s changed to “Wow, his dance skills are really amazing”.

SHUNTO
I guess I thought he was quiet and cool, but now he gives off a spoiled child impression. He’s very good at endearing himself to older people. Even though he usually calls me “LEO-kun”, every now and then he’ll say “Oi, LEO~” and the timing when his playfulness comes out is perfect (lol).

MANATO
I thought he was quiet and kind of delicate, but he’s got a surprisingly crude side as well.

RYUHEI
During the audition he gave off a grown-up impression, but he actually acts like what you’d expect from a 15 year-old. But those slightly sloppy aspects of him are cute as well. It’s kind of like looking at myself in the past, so being around him made me realize I’ve become an adult as well (lol).

JUNON
Before, I got the impression that he was very quiet and levelheaded, but while he’s like that he’s also brimming with vitality.

RYOKI
My first impression was that he has a lot of confidence in himself. Now, I think he’s the kindest person in our team. During the end-of-year period when we couldn’t meet up, when I was thinking about the members, suddenly, I thought “RYOKI is the nicest one, isn’t he?”. When I told him that, he said “You’re going to make me cry (lol)”.

Q: If you had to analyze your own character?

LEO: I’m the youngest child in my family, so I’m spoiled and selfish.

Q: If you were an animal?

LEO: I'd be a big dog. I’ve been told since way back that I’m like a dog, but not like a chihuahua or something. I guess more like a golden retriever?

Q: Of all the new things you’ve encountered recently, which one is your favourite?

LEO: My home that’s packed with only things I love. It’s an awesome space with things like Marvel replicas and my favourite clothes, books, furniture, tableware and photos of the members where I can live close to music.

Q: What’s changed the most since before your debut?

LEO: I started living alone. The housework isn’t a problem either. For example, with laundry, if I switch it on before I go into the bath, by the time I’m out and done my skincare and finished changing clothes, it’s done. I like thinking of ways to boost efficiency, so I’ve been able to have fun with it.

Q: Is there something regarding health or beauty you pay attention to?

LEO: I take probiotics. When I was watching the broadcast of “Matsuko Kaigi”, a show we appeared on, I heard it was good for you.

Q: What is your secret for getting along with someone when meeting them for the first time?

LEO: Don’t lie to yourself, and don’t try to act cool or show off. In the past, my dad said “Being cool when you’re not trying to, that’s the coolest”. Try to be your true self.

Ray - [BE:FIRST] Lunch at noon is my rule – 4 Questions for SHUNTO (english translation)

SHUNTO's was fun to read, so I did his too.

Original article: https://ray-web.jp/187162

[BE:FIRST] Lunch at noon is my rule – 4 Questions for SHUNTO

Q: How has your impression of each member changed since you first met?

SOTA
We just met for the first time during the third screening of the audition, but he suddenly said “Please leave the dance to me!”, so I thought “there are some really forceful guys here” (lol). In fact, he’s a nice, agreeable guy, so it’s like he can be friends with anyone.

MANATO
After the end of the third screening, when I said “You’re good at singing!” to him, he said something like “Thank you”, so I thought he was a serious guy. Recently, he’s a guy that says a lot of crazy things, so I think he’s funny.

RYUHEI
We went to the same dance school, and the RYUHEI I knew was very serious. Recently, due to the influence of the group’s members and our BMSG comrades, he’s steadily breaking out of his shell and becoming extremely funny.

JUNON
He didn’t talk much, so I got the impression that he was quiet. I think he’s a person that thinks a lot but doesn’t show it on the surface. Even if there’s a time where he clearly shares what he’s thinking, there’s still a stoic feel I get from him.

RYOKI
He had a different aura, so I thought “This is what someone working in the entertainment industry is like” (*since RYOKI was already working professionally as an actor). There was a gentle atmosphere around him from the beginning, and that hasn’t changed. Just like JUNON, he’s a person who is confident in his self and isn’t swayed by others.

LEO
Honestly, I’ve known him since middle school, and since he’s a big guy when he’d say “Morning~” in a friendly way as a greeting it was scary (lol). However, meeting him again in the audition he was a cheerful person. He has a sensitive and cautious side as well.

Q: If you had to analyze your own character?

SHUNTO: I’m the type that tends to find a lot of things troublesome.

If I’m getting up on a day off, getting out of bed is already a pain. Then, when I’m thinking “I wonder what I should do?”, even things like pressing the power button on a game feel annoying (lol). However, having lunch at exactly noon is my rule.

Q: If you were an animal?

SHUNTO: My friends often tell me I’d be a shiba inu. They say my face is shiba inu-like.

But I think I’d be a sloth. Because I like to sleep, and it’s one of my favourite animals. When I was in middle school, going to the zoo and looking at them calmed me down.

Q: What’s changed the most since before your debut?

SHUNTO: The distance I have to travel (lol).

I was in my third year of high school, so I’d have to go back and forth from Tokyo to Nagoya for school. School was fifteen minutes from my house, but Tokyo was an hour and a half away by bullet train. But because it was too difficult to watch a full movie during that commuting time, during testing periods I’d use it to study.

Ray - [BE:FIRST] SOTA Interview – What has changed since debuting? (english translation)

This is from a series of short interviews the website Ray is doing with the members of BE:FIRST looking at how they've changed since their debut. SOTA is my favourite and his answers are pretty straightforward, so I wanted to give translating his a shot. These are a nice length and they're fun to read so I might do one or two more.

Here's the original article: https://ray-web.jp/186514

[BE:FIRST] SOTA Interview – What has changed since debuting?

Q: How has your impression of each member changed since you first met?

SHUNTO
I thought he was shy, but recently it’s like he talks without taking the team into consideration. At first, I was shocked by how fast he ate. Recently, he’ll arbitrarily report things like “I’m eating a hamburger today!” (lol).

MANATO
Even though I thought “he’s a well-behaved kid” at first, when we were in a room together during the training camp, that character collapsed to the point where I was like “Can he not see me!?” (lol) In reality, he’s a cheerful and mischievous guy.

RYUHEI
I think he’s changed the most. He was conscious of everyone in the group being older than him, but he’s started to take advantage of that. He’s become able to ask clearly when there’s something he’s not good at or that he doesn’t understand.

JUNON
I thought “He’s good at singing. He’s tall.” at first. He was the last one I talked to, but he’s reliable like a big brother, so being with him is calming.

RYOKI
He was wearing shoes that I wanted, and I liked the lock screen image on his phone, so I thought our tastes would match well, and that hasn’t changed to this day.

LEO
He seemed very caring and helpful, like a big brother in charge of a nursery school, and I realized that he was a person that always had other people around him. That dependable side of him hasn’t changed. While we weren’t able to meet up we became closer by exchanging messages on LINE (lol).

Q: If you had to analyze your own character?

SOTA: I’m “The AB Type” (*as in the stereotypical personality associated with the AB blood type). I can’t calm down. I’m always just thinking about things like dance and music, to the point where it’s like there’s always someone dancing in my head.

Q: If you were an animal?

SOTA: I’d be a bear. Because I like Winnie the Pooh (lol).

Q: What’s changed the most since before your debut?

SOTA: Since my life isn’t centered around dance anymore, the frame of things I want to do has widened. Before, I was just thinking about dance, but now that I’m in this circle called “music”, I’ve become able to do various things.

Q: Of all the new things you’ve encountered recently, which one is your favourite?

SOTA: After obsessing about it and searching around a lot, I found a double bed. Even if I stretch out both arms there’s extra room, and it’s good for sleeping both comfortably and snugly, so it’s the best!

Q: What is your secret for getting along with someone when meeting them for the first time?

SOTA: If you look at the person’s profile from up to like 2 or 3 years before to kind of figure out whether you want to get to know more about them or not, then you can start with something like asking them questions about their self. Since the way I look on the outside might lead people to imagine a lot of negative things, I try to act as cheerful as possible.

TYOSiN - TWILIGHT (english translation)

Lol, he did both schoolboy and "gal" cosplay, and both looks are amazingly right and amazingly wrong on him. I love it. There's a kind of charmingly juvenile energy to a lot of TYOSiN's stuff, and I think this MV and the lyrics really highlight that aspect of him well.

Fanservice aside, what I think is so cool about TYOSiN is that this song and video are totally out of left field compared to his previous work, but they also still both feel totally on-brand for him. It's rare to find an artist with that kind of flexibility. I think it's so cool that he's brave (or reckless) enough to just randomly overhaul his style completely every few years. And, IMO, he manages to pull off the changes without losing the good qualities of the previous eras.



TWILIGHT

Lyrics: TYOSiN
Producer: ATSUKI

Oh, every day, every night
I was refining it
Just honing my sensitivity
It seems like I can grab hold of it, I’m gonna grab it
Just a bit more left to go, just a bit more

Oh, every day, every night
I was refining it
Just honing my sensitivity
It seems like I can grab hold of it, I’m gonna grab it
Just a bit more left to go, just a bit more

I couldn’t carry out my promise to break it all down,
I’m just flailing about
I’m still being knocked around in the underground,
But I’ve been able to find happiness in it
Like pulling in a frayed thread and cutting it short to repair the knot
I have countless regrets
But, well, I’ve reached a point where things aren’t bland
I was on a wide stage, basking in cheers
But I got sick of the me I’d become used to
“It’s not supposed to be like this, I still want to have fun”
I want to turn what I’ve been imagining into reality

I haven’t changed from that time
All that’s changed is the people around me
I’ll say it again,
“The people you surround yourself with are your mirror”
It’s just that, it’s still just that
So don’t be scared to say goodbye
Even if it’s messy, it’s beautiful
I want to love the version of myself that can believe that

Oh, every day, every night
I was refining it
Just honing my sensitivity
It seems like I can grab hold of it, I’m gonna grab it
Just a bit more left to go, just a bit more

That’s it, I’m at my limit, I’m at my limit
I want to die, I want to live
As I thought, it’s impossible
In this scrawl, I can feel the violence of words
I’m totally immersed in filling in this painted over blank space
It’s fun, it’s painful
It’s sad, it hurts
It’s filled with the full range of human emotions, future struggles, all of it
If it’s not real, it can’t move hearts
I turn the feelings I can’t tell others into songs
If I do one bad thing,
Then I’ll do 10 good ones to make up for it
My heart is dirty, but I’m dreaming
Don’t let go of your child-like mind

Surely, perhaps
Those negative feelings everyone has,
Even if they’re swallowed up by the devil*
It’s beautiful, it’s beautiful
The heart I denied
The ego kills people**
An ark that rides in on twilight
In twilight, I’ll say farewell

Oh, every day, every night
I was refining it
Just honing my sensitivity
It seems like I can grab hold of it, I’m gonna grab it
Just a bit more left to go, just a bit more

Notes:
*, ** I’m really not sure about these lines at all :(

G:nt - hypp w/Riin (english translation)

I don't know, I was listening to this the other day and the lyrics made me laugh.

G:nt · hypp w/riin

hypp w/ Riin

[G:nt]
A friend of a friend is not a friend
If it’s my favorite type, we’ll jump up and say “I love it”
But your navigation isn’t anywhere close, your pin is far away from ours
Fuck you! You’re so twisted you make luv_u6 curl*
My friends & me are under the devil’s protection
We reject things that come for us, and if we like something we’ll chase after it

[G:nt]
I wanna say IDGAF
Who r u, bitch? I don’t know you!
You’re too loud, fuck! You should die
I’m the grudge-holding type,
I want you to die!

[G:nt]
I fuckin’ hate humans like you. Fuck you – certain death.
Aren’t the sex-addicted fake emo rappers getting worse? on IG
I love you from the bottom of my heart, my cool friends
I fuckin’ hate humans like you. Fuck you – certain death

[G:nt]
It feels like you’re everywhere
There’s lots of them, your alter egos
You might think it’s wrong that I do nothing but complain in my songs too,
But I have fun making them – this is the new shit
I fuckin’ hate humans like you. Fuck you – certain death.

[Riin]
Don’t misunderstand, we’re not friends, boi
It’s just that the people around you are cool
I’m more interested in the next HeroAca**
Oh just be quiet, you shouldn’t still be sleeping with your mother, you know
You won’t move hearts with that voice, so
Isn’t this enough? Time to give it up? Realize it’s over
Brats that want to be artists have increased, haven’t they?
Hurry up and go back to the listening side

[Riin]
They’re out there getting attention, guys that are only sharp on Twitter***
And yet, when they make songs it’s like they’re trying to get laughs
Don’t come over here, don’t come over here
I’m watching, it’s funny, looks like you’re having a good time “Yay me~”****

[Riin]
We decide strongly with one hand*****
With G beside me, we keep adding highlights
At the usual sea, we’re playing AViT on the speakers
Getting hyped up, getting drunk and staggering our way home

[G:nt]
I fuckin’ hate humans like you. Fuck you – certain death.
Aren’t the sex-addicted fake emo rappers getting worse? on IG
I love you from the bottom of my heart, my cool friends
I fuckin’ hate humans like you. Fuck you – certain death

[G:nt]
It feels like you’re everywhere
There’s lots of them, your alter egos
You might think it’s wrong that I do nothing but complain in my songs too,
But I have fun making them – this is the new shit
I fuckin’ hate humans like you. Fuck you – certain death.

Notes:
*G:nt's username for his Twitter, Instagram, etc. is "gnt_luv_u6", so I think “luv_u6” just means him, but it could be the name of a group or something, I’m not sure. I don’t really know what he means by “カール” – my guess is that it’s like a play on how the “magari” in “hesomagari” (“difficult person”) means to curl or bend, so like they’re such a pain that it makes their group curl in another direction to get away
**As in “My Hero Academia”
***Not 100% sure about the wording for this line
****Not sure about this line either
*****Or this one

G:nt - Devil (english translation)

I'm not super confident about some parts of this one.


Devil

I don’t mind selling my soul to the devil
If things continue like they are now, I don’t need a future
The wounds that had almost healed opened back up
What’s my soul worth? If it’s enough, give me love
“I shall grant your wish. Reach out your hand”
My body was struck by lightning

This is the path I’ve chosen
I already don’t have any regrets
But occasionally anxiety coils around my feet
I’ve gotta evolve, because I’ve heard that even the extraordinary quickly becomes the everyday

Why? I don’t understand why I’m hanging my head again – I’ve got my eyes cast down again
“Keep your head up. It’s not your fault.”
I’m used to this – I still can’t seem to take off my mask
I’ve gotten used to forcing a smile
It’s easy to lie lightheartedly now
It's like my heart has been torn to shreds, I'm fucked up
Emotions are the heart’s accessories
Even though I realized I’d lost them, it was too late
Mourning the fact that the love I’d found wasn’t the real thing,
It’s like I don’t even have a heart in stock
Love me

Cutting off the silence, I ran
Now, I’ll throw it all away
Just this moment is already,
Something that’s mine and just for me

Ah, no matter how much I sing,
It’ll immediately become the past in the next moment
Even if I die tomorrow,
All I can do is move forward

I don’t mind selling my soul to the devil
If things continue like they are now, I don’t need a future
The wounds that had almost healed opened back up
What’s my soul worth? If it’s enough, give me love
“I shall grant your wish. Reach out your hand”
My body was struck by lightning

Devil

Hannya - Kazoku feat. KOHH (english translation)

KOHH's verse is pretty self-explanatory, and he talked about his family situation in detail in the subtitled VICE documentary, but to provide some background info for Hannya's verse, Hannya is also half Korean on his father’s side. Hannya’s father was apparently out of the picture when he was 1~2 years old, and apparently he didn’t find out he was half Korean until around his 20s.



家族 / Family

Lyrics: Hannya, KOHH
Music: DJ HAZU, Hannya

[Hannya]
Hey old man, how are you? The weather is nice here
Is it okay if we talk a bit now?
Well, it’s not like you don’t have time*
After 20 years, I want to say something like this myself**
I know it’s immature, but I hate you
I said that, right? On that night 21 years ago
My mom was out of the house, so when the phone rang I picked up the receiver
Eh? What was that? The truth is, I have a brother?
Why did you say to call?
But, at that time, I was happy
It was stupid, calling him, now that I look back
My older brother’s voice sounded annoyed when he answered
I’m a man, so I put up with it, but I was answered bluntly***
Then, like usual, contact with you ended suddenly

However, the stories aren’t all bad
In my memory, that time I was 10,

You took me along with you, didn’t you? The lion at the circus gave us a thrill
The next time we met after that, I was in my first year of middle school
“You seem much more grown up”
How did I look reflected in your eyes when you said that to me under the setting sun in Shibuya?
In July ’94, your health was weighing on my mind
I headed to the hospital in Kitaku, and the nurse’s voice seemed far away
Was it three days before? Four days? The voices of the cicadas blended together
I’m grateful, and now, I’m looking at you in a photo
You lied to me about our family, and about your nationality
However, in a place you know nothing about, a single woman lived strongly
However, if you were there with us, what would have happened?
I can only say this to the ring in my hand****
It’s good I didn’t kill you
I grew up by receiving love

[KOHH]
I grew up by receiving love as well
January 15th, 1992 is my father’s death anniversary
I was only two, so I don’t have any memories
My image of him was formed from just videos and photos
And my mom was in a mental hospital
During a festival, lured by the thought that Tatsuo was calling out to her,
She jumped from a 9th floor veranda, thinking she’d commit suicide
Ah, I cried and screamed and raged and said “Die”
I hated you

I’d heard that my dad died in a traffic accident
That was what everyone said, and it was what I believed until now
But I was at my parents’ home, at that time my grandfather was smoking terrible cigarettes
“Tatsuo didn’t die in an accident” he said
And I looked back at him three times when he did
Seriously? What is this?
Knowing the truth was somehow so scarrrrrry
But, in the end, he dodged the question*****
I still don’t know the truth, but I suspect it was an overdose
In the dead of night, I went to the Kameido gravesite and we drank a lemon shouchuu highball together
Hey, Kou Tatsuo, can you hear it, my music?
I’m Japanese, but I’ll use my South Korean father’s name as well
“KOHH”

[Hannya]
Family, you can’t choose yours
Blood isn’t just red

[KOHH]
Family, you can’t choose yours
Blood isn’t just red

[Hannya]
Family, you can’t choose yours

[KOHH]
Family, you can’t choose yours
Blood isn’t just red

[Hannya]
Old man, how are you? We’re doing well
It’s my last report to you but, I’ve got something that can’t be shaken
And that’s family
That’s why, I’m asking you
When I die, as promised,
Let’s have a drink together

Notes:
*, **, ***, ****, ***** These are the lines I’m most concerned about. It’s very likely that I got some of these wrong.

SATOH - Im not (english translation)

Im not

Music and Lyrics: Lingna

The center goal I jump into shakes*
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wipe the screen that’s wet and clouded up from the sweat on my palms
Swallowed pills at the very limit of the dosage
Got insomnia, today as well I can’t sleep at all
Suddenly, I’m back at home
I know who I am
I know I’m not
I know I’m not

The dawn of the exploding comet
A happy end within the screen
I’ve gotten tired of catharsis as well
This is the new town Lingna lives in**

But my wings are unbroken
I don’t have anywhere to go, well pappappa***
The ferris wheel is running
I’m sitting in a position where I can’t see
I wonder if I’ll die like this
Well, it’s fine though
Although it’s kind of sad, isn’t it?

The center goal I jump into shakes*
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I wipe the screen that’s wet and clouded up from the sweat on my palms
Swallowed pills at the very limit of the dosage
Got insomnia, today as well I can’t sleep at all
Suddenly, I’m back at home
I know who I am
I know I’m not
I know I’m not
Yeah

Notes:
*I don’t know what center goal is supposed to mean – I’m picturing him like running into a soccer net in a daze or something
**This can apparently mean like a new housing development. Also “Lingna” is the vocalist’s name – it’s written “Rinna” in hiragana sometimes
***I don’t know what the “pappappa” means – I’m assuming it’s just a sound?

LUCIFER - Dystopia (english translation)

I'm not sure how accurate this is - I feel like at least some of the pronouns are off - but I gave it my best shot. It's sad that LUCIFER didn't last longer. I thought they were really promising. The singer's voice is super cute. 

There's just something so refreshingly jarring about a guy in a band called LUCIFER having such an innocent-sounding voice.



ディストピア / Dystopia

Music and Lyrics: Mika

Do you understand?
Your thoughts are being restricted
I was brought to life again
Reality is awkward, and I hate it

It keeps ringing out so much that it’s getting annoying
The voice of my heart is
Becoming a brilliant lie
The days are cycling by

I want to disappear under this sky
If I’m just going to be in this rotten form,
I’ve had enough of this body already
I searched for an unoccupied heart
And was stabbed through with a pure lie*
In this fleeting world**

I’m bearing my anguish***
But the thoughts still won’t stop
Nevertheless, it was snatched away
I want to live
Wavering like this is agony

If I give up completely,
With a kind and graceful heart,****
And calmly tell a lie,
I will sleep

I wonder what’s waiting at the ends of the earth?
It’s fine if I don’t get to see the answer
We can “drift away” from sadness now

I want to disappear under this sky
If I’m just going to be in this rotten form,
I’ve had enough of this body already
I searched for an unoccupied heart
And was stabbed through with a pure fang*****
In this fleeting world

Notes: 

**, ***, **** Not sure about these lines in particular

*, ***** With these two, I'm not sure who is stabbing/being stabbed, tbh. Either way feels like I'm reading it wrong, so I'm not sure which to go with

TYOSiN - York Shin City (english translation)

I'm a massive Hunter x Hunter fan, so when I saw TYOSiN had a song called "York Shin City" and a big Phantom Troupe tattoo on his neck, I'll admit that was a big point in his favor for me.

There are some lines in this that I really don't understand, but I think the gist of it is there. Hopefully. ^^;

There are some interesting word choices in this track, and it's fun trying to spot all the references. Like the Kurapika lines are pretty obvious, but I after I was reading through it I kept spotting other little things that could represent other characters, like the "abracadabra" could be for Hisoka? It's a fun song. ;)



York Shin City

York Shin, red eyes burst open
York Shin, the coals burst into flame
York Shin, the spider’s way splits open
York Shin City, kill bitch

York Shin, red eyes burst open
York Shin, the coals burst into flame
York Shin, the spider’s way splits open
York Shin City, kill bitch

Even if the spider’s limbs are cut off,
It’ll keep moving all night long
If that doesn’t pierce through your skull,
When you’re enveloped by the phantoms, it’s all over

Even if the spider’s limbs are cut off,
It’ll keep moving all night long
If that doesn’t pierce through your skull,
When you’re enveloped by the phantoms, it’s all over

Don’t steal from us,
We steal from you
No one can stop us,
So there’s nothing we won’t snatch away

Don’t steal from us,
We steal from you
No one can stop us,
So there’s nothing we won’t snatch away

We want everything
We’ll snatch it all at once
We’re bandits, raging through Tokyo
All the techniques jammed into my head,*
And the hoe hanging from the end of that dangling thread
Who and who did what and what?
I don’t care anyway, bitch
I make a risk hedge, gold plating*
Peel it off rich, which way do I want to go**
Look at me, brother***
Since no one can stop us, we’re gonna steal
Leave you with nothing, abracadabra
This evening’s treasure is our treasure
If you wanna kill, first you’ve gotta smash the head
Without leaving any bastards who get in your way
Kill shit
Kill bitch, kill me
Can you feel it?
Feel me? Feel me?
Let’s go, ring ring****
Let’s go, ring ring****

Don’t steal from us,
We steal from you
No one can stop us,
So there’s nothing we won’t snatch away

Don’t steal from us,
We steal from you
No one can stop us,
So there’s nothing we won’t snatch away

York Shin, red eyes burst open
York Shin, the coals burst into flame
York Shin, the spider’s way splits open
York Shin City, kill bitch

York Shin, red eyes burst open
York Shin, the coals burst into flame
York Shin, the spider’s way splits open
York Shin City, kill bitch

Even if the spider’s limbs are cut off,
It’ll keep moving all night long
If that doesn’t pierce through your skull,
When you’re enveloped by the phantoms, it’s all over

Even if the spider’s limbs are cut off,
It’ll keep moving all night long
If that doesn’t pierce through your skull,
When you’re enveloped by the phantoms, it’s all over

Don’t steal from us,
We steal from you
No one can stop us,
So there’s nothing we won’t snatch away

Don’t steal from us,
We steal from you
No one can stop us,
So there’s nothing we won’t snatch away

Even I were to disappear,
You guys would carry out our mission
We don’t have any lies, fear or uneasiness between us
We’ll stick to our own selfish sense of justice
The melody we’re playing
Is a cacophony that echoes from York Shin
And it still won’t stop ringing out
And it still won’t stop ringing out

I wanna kill, I wanna kill, I wanna kill, kill*****
I’ll kill all the bastards that get in our way
We’re the brigade, so hurry up and move aside
If you see us, run right away
Watch your back, chain guy
The spider’s limbs are after you
The spider’s limbs are after you
The spider’s limbs are after you

Notes:
* I’m assuming this is a reference to Chrollo’s ability, because the next line is definitely a reference to Machi
** I have no idea what this means, and googling it didn’t help
*** This too
**** Not really sure about this either
***** I’m not really sure how to translate “manji” here – I’m assuming that it’s just like they’re getting fired up to go, but I don’t really know how you use it, so don’t take my word on that
****** The kanji here is specifically to slice/kill someone with a blade, so I’m assuming this is Feitan or Nobunaga

SKOLOR - YOUTH [REMIX] ft. TYOSiN, ACE COOL (english translation)

TYOSiN is super cute. This kind of track really suits him. Surprised by how well ACE COOL fits too.



YOUTH [REMIX] ft. TYOSiN, ACE COOL

Lyrics: SKOLOR, TYOSiN, ACE COOL
Produced by Pure100%

[SKOLOR]
Keep pushing forward, to a place where no one else can catch up
Leave me alone! Right now, all that’s important is what’s in front of my eyes
I don’t need any half measures
We don’t know it, but there’s a bright future ahead
I want to run as far as I can
That’s right, this is a remix

[SKOLOR]
We don’t know about tomorrow
What we’re seeing now is what’s in front of our eyes
We’ll fly over the top, and over the top of that
Tomorrow as well, we’ll be forever young
Tomorrow as well, we’ll be forever young
Tomorrow as well, we’ll be forever

[TYOSiN]
Just a better way
Going above, and above and above
I can hear it,
In a dream,
A voice calling me
We’re still young
And that won’t change
It’s different from what we imagined
Time passes by too quick, so
Things like tomorrow – we don’t need them, right?
Let’s live in the moment
Breathe out, and breathe in

[SKOLOR]
We don’t know about tomorrow
What we’re seeing now is what’s in front of our eyes
We’ll fly over the top, and over the top of that
Tomorrow as well, we’ll be forever young
Tomorrow as well, we’ll be forever young
Tomorrow as well, we’ll be forever

[ACE COOL]
Not having things like regrets is the best
This is the last time I do something like praying
I want to believe in someone
But I didn’t come here alone

Instead of thinking “I want something” in this life,
I want to give something to you
Instead of starting to hate someone,
I want to love the people around me

The past is completely endless
And until you die, regrets are endless too
It might be the end, so we’ll live for today
I know that I can’t become an adult

It’s a long long way,
But if it’s us, we can definitely go further
Find a way
In the end, all we can do is tackle what’s in front of our eyes

[SKOLOR]
We don’t know about tomorrow
What we’re seeing now is what’s in front of our eyes
We’ll fly over the top, and over the top of that
Tomorrow as well, we’ll be forever young
Tomorrow as well, we’ll be forever young
Tomorrow as well, we’ll be forever

Jack Caper YouTube Self Introductions - Choco (english translation)

This one was my second favourite after Hiro’s, so I decided to give translating it a shot as well.

Like the previous one, there are some parts I didn’t get, so I’ve highlighted them in red and made notes. I skipped some of the side comments that aren’t subtitled as well, since my listening comprehension isn't good enough to do this without subtitles. My Japanese is atrocious, so please feel free to mention any corrections.



Shuma: Question time is starting!
 
1. What is your part (in the band)?
Choco: It’s guitar! Guitar! Tar-gui!
 
2. What made you take up that part?
Choco: I actually wanted to be a vocalist, but it was embarrassing, so I decided to play guitar.
 
3. What is your blood type?
Choco: It’s A!
 
4. Where are you from?
Choco: Tottori!
 
5. What are your hobbies?
Choco: Karaoke.
 
6. What are your special skills?
Choco: I don’t really have many. Before now it was guitar, but recently it’s death voice.
YG: You’re just talking about singing
Choco: I like to sing~ ❤️
 
7. Favourite food?
Choco: My favourite foods are omurice, hamburger and peaches.
 
8. Foods you hate?
Choco: The foods I hate are green peppers, eggplant and squid. Also shellfish-like stuff. Shellfish-style* foods are impossible for me.
Riku: Accountant~*
^*Choco says “kai-kei” (“貝系 “) and Riku says “kaikei” (“会計 “)
Choco: Marine products in general are fundamentally no good for me.
Shuma: What about crab?
Choco: Crab is no good either.
Shuma: Uwa!
Choco: Even though I’m from Tottori, if crab was served at my home I’d never eat a bite.
 
9. Favourite artists?
Choco: My favourite artists are: coldrain, Crossfaith, Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, L’Arc~en~Ciel and My First Story. I really love them.
 
10. What do you like about yourself?
Choco: I’m cheerful, and I can have fun and get along with anyone.
 
11. What do you dislike about yourself?
Choco: I’m super menhera.**
^**Crazy/mentally unstable
Shuma: Are you serious? (laughs)
Choco: Yeah, I’m pretty crazy.
Riku: You’re not going to jump again, right?~ (laughs)***
Hiro: You seriously need to cut it out with the jumping.***
^***I think they’re talking about stagediving?
 
12. What type of girl do you like?
Choco: The type of girl I like is cute and straightforward. A person like Hashimoto Kanna.
Hiro: This guy expects way too much.
Riku: You’re not going to find that.
Choco: Cute and straightforward. And maybe it’d be good if she could cook too.
Shuma: You’re really asking for a lot, aren’t you?
Choco: Someone that’s going to spoil me—
YG: You want too much!
Choco: I want to be spoiled.
 
13. How do you spend your days off?
Choco: A guy like me spends his days off doing things like watching anime, drinking tapioca (milk tea) and drawing pictures on copy paper. The kotatsu at my place has a white table, so I often draw all over it with magic markers. I just draw One Piece pictures.
[something I didn’t catch]
 
14. If you had to share a room with a member of the band for a month, who would be good and who would be bad?
Choco: It would definitely be bad with everyone, but the reason is because it seems like everyone would leave the room a mess. If I’m forced to say, I think if I was with Riku every day we’d spend together would be fun, but—
Riku: Woo!
Choco: He also seems like the person that’d leave the room the messiest, so I’d lean more towards no one.
Hiro: If we go on an expedition, everyone will hate the person that ends up staying in the same room as Riku.
Choco: (laughs)
Hiro: It’s amazing how messy he is! It seems like the place would become a garbage dump in just one day.
Choco: [something I didn’t get] That’s definitely a lie!
 
15. What do you want to do with Jack Caper?
Choco: I’d like to do an apparel collab.
Shuma: An apparel collab?
Choco: Hiro can do one with The Simpsons on his own though. (laughs)
Hiro: Oi!
Shuma: For example, what kind of brand?
Choco: Eh? CIVARIZE.
Shuma: Ahhh!
Choco: Everyone with a visual kei image--
Shuma: I’ve done one, an apparel collab
Choco: What?! Really?
^**It says “Mounting Shuma” on the screen – I don’t know what that refers to
 
16. Prefecture in Japan you want to go to?
Choco: Okinawa. Hokkaido would be nice too. I’ve never been there.
 
17. Most recent YouTube video you watched?
Choco: Yesterday, before bed, I was watching a real video of an exorcism, like from The Exorcist. I’m interested in exorcisms. It seems like exorcists really exist. In Vatican City.
 
18. If you weren’t in a band, what would you be doing?
Choco: I’d be a college student. If I was in college, I think I’d be partying a lot.
 
19. What’s something that you’re glad you bought recently?
Choco: The thing I bought recently was this… a battery charger!
 
20. A message to yourself after one year.
Choco: Have you become cute properly? I mean, cuter. Right now, you’re ugly without makeup, so—
Hiro: Are you talking about getting plastic surgery or something? (laughs)
Choco: I’m going to go to [the place where Riku went] too…*** I think Shonan could be good too.
Hiro: Shonan, huh?
Choco: You won’t expose me, right?
Hiro: That’s no good, you can’t use that. (laughs)
Shuma: If you were going to get work done, what would you want to change?
[some things I didn’t catch]
Choco: Honestly, I got double eyelid surgery long before Riku did****, but since it seems to have disappeared, I’d like to get that fixed, and make my nose slimmer and fix the alignment of my teeth.
****(Earlier this year, Riku announced on Twitter that he was getting double eyelid surgery, and he took before and after videos and a did a live stream talking about it, so this is not a secret or anything.)
 
21. A message to yourself after ten years.
Choco: Are you eating properly? (laughs)
YG: What are you, a mother?! (laughs)
Choco: Right now I’m so skinny, so I think it’d be good if I could gain just a bit more weight~
YG (?): You have so many things you dislike [about yourself], I could cry.
Choco: I have lots of things I like and dislike~
 
Shuma: That’s all the questions.
Choco: Oh, it’s over! I wonder how you feel about me being this kind of person? By the way, I have a hunchback, so I have a habit of sticking my chin out like this. I’m not trying to pick a fight. (laughs)
I think there’s a really big difference between how I look on the outside after makeup and my bare face, but what’s on the inside doesn’t change – this is how I am normally. Well, let’s move on to the next person. The end!

Jack Caper YouTube Self Introductions - Hiro (english translation)

Since Jack Caper have been kind enough to add big, colourful subtitles (and even pictures!) for most of the dialogue in their new YouTube videos like variety shows, I decided to try to translate this video a while back. It's from a series of interviews where the members all answer the same 20 or so questions to introduce themselves to the fans. For whatever reason, Riku added some extra questions in at the beginning for Hiro that none of the others answered, so those aren't numbered.

My Japanese is atrocious, so even with the subtitles there are some bits I didn't understand, which I've highlighted in red and marked with "**". If anyone wants to help fill those in, please feel free. Any corrections are very welcome.



Riku: Question time!
Hiro: YAAAAAAAAYYYYY!!!
Riku: The reverberation (“yoin”) is really long (laughs)
Hiro: Isn’t the reverberation still good?**
^(This is some sort of bad joke - he says “Yoin wa mou yoi n?”)
 
What would you want to be if you were reborn?
Hiro: I think I’d like to be myself again.
 
What do you think of when someone says ‘summer’?
Hiro: If it’s summer…TUBE! And Kuwata Keisuke.
 
Riku: And if we’re talking about songs representative of TUBE?
Hiro: Ah~ natsu yasumi~!
Riku: As expected, that’s correct!
 
1. What is your part (his role in the band)?
Hiro: The cash register at the supermarket!
 
2. What made you want to do that part?
Hiro: I wanted money!
 
3. What is your blood type?
Hiro: Sakuran joutai Type-A…B  (AB)
Riku: What’s that supposed to mean?
Hiro: It’s from a DIR EN GREY song! There’s one where the lyrics go “Sakuran joutai TYPE-A”
^(he means “myaku”)
 
Riku: (part I didn’t catch)
Hiro: Kuwagata (Stag beetle). (More stuff I didn’t catch)
 
4. Where are you from?
Hiro: Adachi City, Tokyo!
 
5. What are your hobbies?
Hiro: Spearfishing.
 
6. What are your special skills?
Hiro: Finding peoples’ faults. It’s the worst, isn’t it?
Riku: The worst.
 
7. Favourite food?
Hiro: Sweet things.
 
8. Things you hate?*
(*When he reads the question, Riku omits the “tabe” part of “tabemono” that specifies it’s about food)
Hiro: Riku.
Riku: That’s wrong! Foods you hate! Even so, that was a shock. (laughs)
Hiro: Liver.
Riku: Do you have to do that for each one?
Hiro: Ireba! (Dentures!)
Riku: Do you need to move like that though?
Hiro: (laughs) My body’s just moving on its own. I can’t just be quiet and answer!
Riku: Well, I wish you’d calm down a bit (laughs)
 
9. Favourite artists?
Hiro: Southern All Stars, Nakajima Miyuki and Sada Masashi
Riku: What do you like about them?
Hiro: -- (didn’t get this part)**
 
12. Type of girl you like?
Hiro: A slave. Someone that will faithfully listen to what I say. Someone who will go “Yes!” even if I say “I’m good, but you’re not.”
Riku: Which kind of slave is that?
Hiro: (laughs)
 
10. What do you like about yourself?
Hiro: Generally, I’m pretty smart.
 
11. Things you hate about yourself?
Hiro: I’m too good of a person. I’m always sacrificing myself because I want to make the people around me happy.
Riku: (snort of disbelief)
Hiro: What? Is something weird about that?
Riku: I’m just thinking “He’s saying that with a straight face”
Hiro: (laughs) It’s true!
Riku: Quit acting.** (laughs)
 
13. How you spend your days off?
Hiro: Messing around with my bike.
 
14. If you had to share a room with a member of the band for a month, who would be good and who would be bad?
Hiro: I’d like to try sharing a room with all of the members.  
All: Ohh
Hiro: But Riku would be bad. (laughs)
Riku: Everyone has been saying I’d be bad! (laughs)
Hiro: Because you’re messy!
Riku: What’s so bad about that~?**
 
15. What do you want to do with Jack Caper?
Hiro: I’d like to live together on a deserted island for a month!
Choco: I can’t deal with bugs~!
Hiro: You can eat the bugs!
 
16. Prefecture in Japan you want to go to?
Hiro: Oita Prefecture!
Riku: Why?
Hiro: Because I’ve always wanted to try being a fisherman in Oita.
Riku: Oh, to scope it out**
Hiro: Recently I’m also interested in the Ogasawara Islands. I was researching some of the world’s picturesque views yesterday as well, and since the Ogasawara Islands were mentioned—
Choco: Which prefecture are the islands in?
Hiro: Tokyo. If you put the boat and accommodation together, the cheapest trip there is around 70 000 yen. (About $700)**
All: So expensive!
Hiro: If you go on the fastest boat, it’s 24 hours. The second fastest is 25.5 hours. One-way trip.
Riku: (didn’t get this line - some joke about giants?)**
 
17. Most recent YouTube video you watched?
Hiro: Probably something like Game Center Mikado’s KOF (King of Fighters) tournament.
 
18. If you weren’t in a band, what would you be doing?
Hiro: Fisherman.
 
19. What’s something that you’re glad you bought recently?
Hiro: A bicycle! Well, I didn’t buy it, it was bought for me. I haven’t really bought much myself recently, but water – I bought water recently. I thought I’d try drinking mineral water. The water in Tokyo always tastes so chlorinated.**
Riku: It’s not that water that’s supposed to boost your power, is it?
Hiro: Chikara mizu! (laughs) Recently, I buy water at regular intervals.**
^"Chikara Mizu", or "Power Water", is the name of the product
Riku: Like some sort of secret agent. (laughs)
Hiro: I won’t say the name of the product.
 
20. A message to yourself after one year.
Hiro: Are you still a genius?
 
21. A message to yourself after ten years.
Hiro: Is Riku still alive? (laughs)
Riku: Don’t kill me~ Seriously.
Hiro: Are bikes flying in the sky?
Riku: A message to yourself! (laughs)
Hiro: To myself in ten years?
Shuma: It became a message to the time period (laughs)
Hiro: When you felt you had to persist, it wasn't a mistake!**
Riku: I feel like I’ve heard that before…
Hiro: Myself in ten years, huh… Are you getting married? (laughs)
Riku: You’re doing It seriously, huh? (laughs)
Hiro: Are you a fisherman now? Are you a bandman? Or have you even become a man that relies on women for money like Riku?
Riku: Hey! Shut up (#^w^) (laughs) Don’t say that.
Hiro: No matter which path you walk, all you can think is that you’re a success. In this life, can you still think that way about yourself? (blows kiss)
Riku: You kissed yourself?
Hiro: In my life, I don’t think I’ve failed much. No matter what kind of life I live, I think it’ll be a success.
 
Riku: That’s all the questions.
Hiro: Well, we’re going out like this. Finally, this shitty guy (Riku) is going to answer some questions, so-
^Riku's video is going to be the last one in the series
Riku: Cut it out! (laughs)
Hiro: Enjoy! See you!

THURSDAY'S YOUTH - Sayonara (english translation)

Since their bass player announced that he's leaving soon they've been posting quite a few live videos of this track, so I thought I'd finally get around to translating it.





さよなら / Goodbye

Music and Lyrics: Shinoyama Kosei

I was living to save you, but
I wasn’t the one you wanted to be with
Since that day, I’ve lost my reason to live
You say you’ve found meaning in your life

That’s great

I dreamed of the future I abandoned when I was 15,
And when I tried to look back to it, it floated to the surface and disappeared again*

I don’t have anything precious to me anymore
But when I close my eyes and think back, I’m enveloped by a gentle warmth
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Please be gentle with me, it’d be great if you could
Please stay connected with me, even if it’s just for now
Please love someone, it’s fine even if it's not me
Please live on, it’s fine even if it’s just until you die

I don’t have anything precious to me anymore
But when I close my eyes and think back, I’m enveloped by a gentle warmth
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Be happy, okay?
Live peacefully, okay?
Although, from this point on, I’ll never forgive you**

I don’t have anything precious to me anymore
But when I close my eyes and think back, I’m enveloped by a gentle warmth
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye

I don’t have anything precious to me anymore
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

Morning is coming
Morning is coming

Notes:
*Not really sure about this line
**I think this is the only way it makes sense, but the “de” at the end is making me kind of worried that I’m reading this wrong

I also translated this Twitter exchange as an added bonus, because I thought it was pretty sweet (especially given the current circumstances). It's about Shinoyama, but I think it captures a lot of what I love about this band. Fuyukan Chie is a singer-songwriter that has been working with the band on various things - she featured on one of their songs, made a video for them, etc.

https://twitter.com/sudatch/status/1167810864067465216

Fuyukan Chie: I want to know why Shinoyama Kosei is loved, so people that like Shinoyama-san, won’t you tell me what is it that’s good about him? I just genuinely want to know what parts of him are charming.

Suda Yuuki: His songs, his voice, his words, his height, his sensitivity. He’s also a king of random trivia. And, around when I joined Suck a Stew Dry, he said “You’re a good bassist.”

Shinoyama Kosei: You’re a good bassist. (Now as well)

Fuyukan: His height… ! lol lol
Overall, these reasons are very like you, so they’re good.
Thanks for telling me!

KUROYUME - Suck Me! (english translation)

Suck Me!

Lyrics: Kiyoharu
Music: Hitoki

Dance and dancing, lenient downer
The upper dribbles spit
While the downer is in anguish

The blue’s mane, the pink’s corruption
Orange-coloured aural

Dance and dancing, forceful upper
It hits the downer’s throat
Let out your voice, upper

An aural so intense it could stir up the blue’s mane*

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

When you’ve got me soaking wet, piss off!**

Dance and dancing, bent backward downer
Use the tip of your tongue too, upper
Get down on your knees, downer

Even with just holding it in your mouth, my hips seem satisfied
Give me more of your specialty, that aural

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

When you’ve got me soaking wet, piss off!**

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

If swallowing it bothers you, piss off!

The blue’s mane, the pink’s body fluids
Orange-coloured aural

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

Rather than the worst type, the ones that feign ignorance,***

Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you
Suck me, suck me
Suck you, suck you

Inside the mouth of someone with loose morals,
When you’ve got me soaking wet, piss off!**

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

THURSDAY'S YOUTH - #Songwriter (english translation)

There are some lines I'm not too sure about, but I think the gist of what he's saying is pretty clear. I'm really happy that they did a live video for this track.



#ソングライター / #Songwriter

Music and Lyrics: Shinoyama Kosei

A heart with a low-level rebellious spirit
A Japanese person that’s withering away to nothing
Saying it’s filled with slander is my air raid shelter from SNS*

My soul must be defective
When I face any hardship, I think having none would be better
The ones still left on the shelf must be available at a bargain,
But the return period on mine has already expired

Won’t you stay for me? Please!
I still need your money

Looking at it from the opposite side, thinking something like that just seems the lowest – the worst – doesn’t it?**
Guys like that can just hurry up and disappear

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?***
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

Writing songs to play at festivals
It’s alright if you get fired up
I could hear voices from the area around me saying
“It’s no good if you complain”

Won’t you stay for me? Stay there
Because I still need your money

“Ah, that’s right, make sure to buy the CD after too!”
That copyright is what's keeping me alive

This kind of song is the result of my struggle
This song is the type of song I can write right now
Even so, it doesn’t matter
I’ll accept this music

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?***
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies, right?***
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

I’m being loved for telling nothing but lies
The truth is, I hate everyone
But even so, I won’t flinch away from it
I’ll accept this world

What’s right, and
What’s wrong
An absurd songwriter

Let’s sing along pointlessly
Let’s lament this dying music scene
For every suitably laughable songwriter****

Notes:
*, ***, ****I’m not sure about these lines.

TeiREBE no hankotsu shin

Afurekaeru hibouchuushou
Iu wa SNS no boukuugou

Boku wa kekkanhin no tamashii
Konnan nara nai hou ga MASHI

WON’T YOU STAY FOR ME onegai da yo
Mada anata no okane ga hitsuyou desu

Ura de sonna koto o omotte iru nante

Uso bakari aisarete iru ne
Daremo minna hontou ga kirai

Suga Shikao - TWILIGHT ★ TWILIGHT (english translation)

Not really sure about some of these lines, but I think this has the gist of it, hopefully.



トワイライト★トワイライト / TWILIGHT ★ TWILIGHT

Music and Lyrics: Suga Shikao

Twilight
In the photo, we’re laughing a bit in monochrome
Twilight
I wonder if we stopped on that day?

Hey darling,
The wine of happiness,
It’s always been redder than my blood
It’s not something I’ve been able to drink a lot of*

Twilight
In the photo, we’re laughing a bit in monochrome
Twilight
Tomorrow, let’s graduate from this city

I’ve finished packing and,
My room’s already empty
When the cigarette goes into the empty can,
There’s the sound of its heat fizzling out**

Hey, what kind of colour does love have?
When I try to remember, it hurts a bit
If it’s the time when you were here with me,
It’s the colour of the morning on a day off from work
Is love a beautiful thing?
Deep in my heart, it hurts a bit
It’s just the same as beauty, hard to see and precious***

Traumerei
Your dainty hand took hold of me
Traumerei
A painful, awkward love sprouted to life

Hey, darling
It’s just convenience store coffee, but
For someone like me that’s become used to wet dreams,
It’s like I won't ever wake up****

I remember that sparkling day shamelessly
Even if I don’t have a direction to head towards,
The story is continuing
In this sparkling season,
In this city as well,
And probably inside you as well…
Even this glass that has been emptied,
One day it will be filled again

The headphones you gave me,
I wonder if I should put them on
I already can’t hear out of the right side,
So I’ll pick a new pair*****

Hey, what kind of colour does love have?
When I try to remember, it hurts a bit
If it’s the time when you were here with me,
It’s the colour of the morning on a day off from work
Is love a beautiful thing?
Deep in my heart, it hurts a bit
It’s just the same as beauty, hard to see and precious***
