I feel like I might be reading some of these lines a bit wrong, but here's my attempt. I love emo SALU.
SKY TO DIE feat. SALU
Lyrics: RYKEY, SALU
Music: A-KAY
The sky looks so far away
The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die
The sky looks so far away
The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die
[RYKEY]
Today as well, my world is freedom
I can’t make anyone else feel it, this freedom
I’m just repeating the same days over and over
Today as well, the flow of time is freedom*
I don’t want to meet up with anyone
I can't even answer the phone now
Surely you’re doing better than me
Hello Mr. President
The sky looks so far away
The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die
The sky looks so far away
The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die
[SALU]
In this town, everyone seems to be happy
There's a Sunday farmer’s market
Even if I chat with the driver a bit or something, it’s no use
I get calls from my friends and have conversations about work
But I can’t go back to the day I want to return to
I’m searching for a reason to die,
But I can’t betray you when you’re waiting for me
Heaven and hell are both meaningless
Like this, I'll head up to the top of that building
Holding on tight to everything, I'll flap my wings
I just want to be praised by that person**
The sky looks so far away
The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die
The sky looks so far away
The sky is too blue, and today I’ve started wanting to die
Notes:
*, ** I’m not sure about these lines in particular

WARNING: Some of my English translations are very sketchy. My Japanese is far from fluent (in other words, bad), and I would appreciate any corrections. The romaji should be correct. Any English or Katakana words are written in CAPS LOCK in the romaji. Please don't post these translations anywhere else, because I go back to fix them from time to time and I don't want old versions floating around.

SALU - How Beautiful (english translation)
This might be a little off in places, but I tried.
How Beautiful
Lyrics: SALU
Music: Estra
If I think of you,
When I close my eyes,
I realize that the world that was spreading out before me
Was a beautiful one
I think of you,
A way to not think of you,
Somehow I can’t seem to come up with one,*
But a night that no one can escape is coming
Somehow, I have a feeling that it was something really important
I want to remember
I can’t remember
So many lies
So many flowers
So many tears (Oh lord)
So much love (Oh lord)
So much power (Oh god)
So many pills (Oh, oh god)
So many stars
How beautiful today is
The things I’ve been putting off,
They're going to start chasing after me
But I’m already so trapped**
Even if I face the heavens and raise up both hands,
Well, is there something I can do?
Well, what can I do?
If you feel like you’re gonna die tomorrow,
If you’ve got the will to do something, you can do anything
You can’t do anything
You can’t do anything
You need the will to do it
If you feel like you’re gonna die tomorrow, you can do anything
Somehow, I have a feeling that it was something really important
I want to remember
I can’t remember
So many lies
So many flowers
So many tears (Oh lord)
So much love (Oh lord)
So much power (Oh god)
So many pills (Oh, oh god)
So many stars
How beautiful today is
Coming out of the lukewarm hug of a blanket
Changing into soft-feeling cashmere
My attitude is “Hallelujah”
I learn from the news that someone died crossing over the highway***
That store is toxic
It’s open 24/7, pushing labour without rest
Letting in a draft isn’t a crime, it’s instinctual to let yourself be carried by the wind****
That girl that ran up to ask for a pen that time is just always on the go
In this life, in order to eat, you’ve gotta work*****
That girl wearing the Canada Goose jacket
In her loneliness, her Instagram is swelling like a balloon
That thing that I wanted to remember but can’t
I wonder what it was? I can’t remember
How can I remember?
Oh God, I wonder if it’s better that I don’t remember?
The sky being stained with darkness
It’s a symbol of the earth’s descent
Notes:
*,**,***,****,***** I’m really not sure about these lines

SALU - In My Life (english translation)
I feel like someone has probably already translated this, but I wanted to try. There are a lot of lines I'm not sure about, but I think the general message is pretty clear.
In My Life
Lyrics: SALU
Music: BACHLOGIC
I don’t know the future
I can’t even tell you what will happen two seconds from now
That’s why we can’t be stopped*
No one can confine us
Yeah, money, I got it
Let’s shout “kanpai!” out loud
Baby we can do it all
Hey, we can do anything
The power of false assumptions is amazing*
Before, if I wanted something,
I used to just make a silent wish to Santa
Being a spectator at a game as well,
Well, it’s fun for what it is**
But “I’m a player”
The moment I started feeling that way, there was no stopping me
There are no second chances at life
What’s behind you won’t change, so look forward
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
I wonder how it will turn out
I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know
When you’re filled with regrets,
It’s like your heart is stuck
I drink the last of my coffee at the park
There’s only five minutes left…okay
“I may not have found a job in a first class business, but I’m okay
I’m living on my own, without any trouble”
“Sending…”
Somehow, when I look up at the sky,
I think of common phrases and ads
Things like “I want to see you” and rules to be cool***
I want to change this planet into my ideal world,
But, well, the truth is, you can’t change the true nature of human beings
Violence and capital rule over us
And the people who want to give us some leeway can’t get results****
Mammonism and materialism
Dealing with material bitches, from this point on it’s impossible*****
When they looked at me, I used to be able to flip them off******
But I throw the peace sign back at them too
Every now and then I feel like my heart is breaking,
But I’m going to make the world I’ve been dreaming of
If I keep trying over and over again,
The future will change a little bit
Without letting it go out, I’ll turn that tiny flame into my strength and go!
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
I wonder how it will turn out
I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know
How much time is left?
And how much money do we really need?
I ask myself that, but of course, all I know is what’s going on right now
We’ll be thinking about those things all our lives
But it’s heaven on earth, this air I’m sharing with you
We keep fighting against gravity
You work with your time and pay with your time*******
We are earthlings
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
I wonder how it will turn out
I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know
That’s right, nobody knows what the future will hold
You don’t know
So let’s savor the present
This is my life
There’s no second chance
You drive me crazy
And so, maybe
It won’t end
Notes:

In My Life
Lyrics: SALU
Music: BACHLOGIC
I don’t know the future
I can’t even tell you what will happen two seconds from now
That’s why we can’t be stopped*
No one can confine us
Yeah, money, I got it
Let’s shout “kanpai!” out loud
Baby we can do it all
Hey, we can do anything
The power of false assumptions is amazing*
Before, if I wanted something,
I used to just make a silent wish to Santa
Being a spectator at a game as well,
Well, it’s fun for what it is**
But “I’m a player”
The moment I started feeling that way, there was no stopping me
There are no second chances at life
What’s behind you won’t change, so look forward
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
I wonder how it will turn out
I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know
When you’re filled with regrets,
It’s like your heart is stuck
I drink the last of my coffee at the park
There’s only five minutes left…okay
“I may not have found a job in a first class business, but I’m okay
I’m living on my own, without any trouble”
“Sending…”
Somehow, when I look up at the sky,
I think of common phrases and ads
Things like “I want to see you” and rules to be cool***
I want to change this planet into my ideal world,
But, well, the truth is, you can’t change the true nature of human beings
Violence and capital rule over us
And the people who want to give us some leeway can’t get results****
Mammonism and materialism
Dealing with material bitches, from this point on it’s impossible*****
When they looked at me, I used to be able to flip them off******
But I throw the peace sign back at them too
Every now and then I feel like my heart is breaking,
But I’m going to make the world I’ve been dreaming of
If I keep trying over and over again,
The future will change a little bit
Without letting it go out, I’ll turn that tiny flame into my strength and go!
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
I wonder how it will turn out
I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know
How much time is left?
And how much money do we really need?
I ask myself that, but of course, all I know is what’s going on right now
We’ll be thinking about those things all our lives
But it’s heaven on earth, this air I’m sharing with you
We keep fighting against gravity
You work with your time and pay with your time*******
We are earthlings
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
I wonder how it will turn out
I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know
That’s right, nobody knows what the future will hold
You don’t know
So let’s savor the present
This is my life
There’s no second chance
You drive me crazy
And so, maybe
It won’t end

SALU - Hello Darlin' (english translation)
SALU is adorable.
This translation is probably at least a little off. The second verse, especially, might be very wrong, but I think the rest at least gives you a fairly good idea of what it's about.
ハローダーリン / Hello Darlin'
Lyrics: SALU
Music: SUI/take-c
Heading out of the forest of radio waves,
I'm going to see you again tonight
I wonder what you're doing now?
Even in this eco-friendly age,
I found a reason to start scattering gasoline
I love this sound
You're always so busy,
So I can't see you
Just like someone I saw outside the window*
Like that older guy I saw using his smartphone
Going around like that he'll bump into someone**
Looking down like that,
I wonder if he'll be able to find the woman that he's come to look for?***
Rays of light are coming in through the window
Who is that person over there waiting for?
I don't know how far apart we are,
But if only I could fly, I want to fly to you****
Listen,
Those guys say “That girl is just using you”, but,
They say you're an evil woman, but
Hello darlin', I miss you
Hello darlin', I need you
Hello darlin', I miss you
Hello darlin', I'm going to see you
Around this time, I'm held back by the traffic
I can't move forward at all,
But I want to see you right now
Please, give me wings
Then I'll fly to you right away
The radio news is on, I wonder what I should agree with*****
Someone has done something to someone for some reason
Your smile cuts right through all those dark topics
I can't believe anyone else
And if that's the case, I at least want to be able to believe in you
I want you to only believe in me
I won't pay attention to the things they say
I want to dance in the palm of your hand******
The butterfly that dances in the night sky is calling to me but,
I want to go where you are, so
Hello darlin', I miss you
Hello darlin', I need you
Hello darlin', I miss you
Hello darlin', I'm going to see you
I don't care what you're doing now, I don't care girl
It's not for your sake
It's because I just need to see you right now
Notes:
*,**,***,****,***** Really not sure about these lines, so I'd take them with a grain of salt. If you have any corrections, please feel free to let me know. :)
******The way I'm reading this is like he kind of wants to be in her power – like the expression “wrapped around her finger” in English or something, but maybe he just means he wants to hold hands while they dance? It's the "de" that's throwing me off.
ハローダーリン / HAROO DAARIN
Denpa no mori o nukete
Kimi ni ai ni iku yo mata konya
Kimi wa ima nani shiteru no ka na?
Riyuu o mitsuketa no sa

I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR ARE WE

SALU - AFURI (english translation)
SALU is from Kanagawa, and there are a lot of references to things in the area in this song that I probably don't understand the significance of. The video is quite literal though, and it seems to line up for the most part, so hopefully this translation isn't too far off.
AFURI*
Lyrics: SALU
Music: SALU, OHLD
Coming out of Tokyo and Nagoya on the Shuto Expressway
It's been a while since I've driven this way
When I see that billboard and main tower, it always seems to calm me down
Today as well, the Odakyu line** is running through
Everyone is riding it, making their way home
There's nothing up in the sky,
But everything is here, yeah
Mount Oyama is dyed orange, red and yellow
And there's the hill where we happily watch fireworks shoot up over Sagamigawa*** in the summer
In the area where the most streets intersect,
I throw a peace sign out to the people working hard
I wonder if the weather will be right tonight?
Look everyone, clouds are gathering over Afuriyama**** again
The two of us from back in those days
This city remembers
Even now, I'm definitely still walking here with you
Walking,
Walking,
And laughing with you
It's not there anymore, that old department store
We can't change the past,
So let's draw out our future
I can't see the figure retreating into the distance from that time anymore,
But there's new artwork in the underground tunnel
When it comes to those guys hanging out in front of the station,
There's no helping it, should I approach them?
No matter what you do,*****
That will never get better, will it?
There are lots of different cities, and lots of different countries, but, in the end,
This one is the best
We're living in this city
We're living in this city
I'm looking out at Tokyo from this city
I'm looking out at the world from this city
The scenery that was supposed to stay the same as it was back in those days,
It's happening slowly, but I can definitely feel it changing around me
The two of us from back in those days
This city remembers
Even now, I'm definitely still walking here with you
Walking,
Walking,
And laughing with you
Notes:
*This is a reference to a mountain in Kanagawa called “Afuriyama”, which SALU also references in this song by its other name “Mount Ooyama”
**A train line
***A river
****”Afuriyama” means “rainy mountain”, which is why I think he switched to using that name when talking about the clouds
*****I don't really know how to read this. I'm assuming these people are kind of shady acquaintences, crazy people, delinquents or other people he'd rather avoid that shouldn't be loitering around the subway station and SALU is saying either A. No matter where you go or how you try to get rid of them, that type of person will always be there, or B. He says something to them as he passes by but doesn't expect it to do any good. Or both of those interpretations might be wrong. I'm not really sure.
