Shurkn Pap - Road Trip (romaji only)

Just as a warning, I think the person who originally wrote out the kanji lyrics I was working from just did them by ear, so they may not be 100% accurate. I think this was a digital-only release, so there probably isn't anything "official" to check them against, unless Shurkn Pap shared the lyrics somewhere himself.



Road Trip

Notes:
I got the kanji for this from the comments under the YouTube video. The person who posted the lyrics said they got them from Spotify, but another person pointed out that anyone can submit lyrics to Spotify, so they could be wrong.

Most of what's in the original comment sounds accurate, but some comments called out lines that seemed off, and those corrections make more sense to me in context than what the original poster had, so what I have is adjusted to include those corrections and won’t match the kanji from the original post 100%.

These are the lines that were corrected:
*Ore ga osu dashi (“Because I’m a man”) vs Ore ga BOSU dashi (“Because I’m a boss”)
**AH ima nami no keshiki o miru (“Ah, now I’m going to look at the waves”) vs AH imada minu keshiki o miru (“Ah, I’m going to see scenery I’ve never seen”)
***Dareka ore o tomete (“Someone stop me”) vs Dare ga ore o tomereru (“Who can stop me?”)

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!

HOLLOWGRAM - Don't cry for the knell (rough english translation)

I'm really not sure about some parts of this one, but here's my attempt.



Don’t cry for the knell

Lyrics: ryo
Music: yumeji

Tell me about your small joys
It’s no good when things end suddenly
With a nonchalant gesture, the memory escapes from you
Loneliness and anxiety take your hand and trace your form
This won't follow the story*
You already know**

The anxiety and love that seem like they couldn’t mix together begin to dissolve
Stop the sound of the bell that's ringing out to signal the end
Look, the morning that was in sight before is coming down to you
Bye bye, let’s meet again

On top of this clumsy balance,
Feeble complaints seem to grow
From the start, you didn’t need those regrets you piled up
The growing excuses you’ve adorned yourself with make it hard to breathe
The story is changing their meaning***

The morning glow bursts into the sky before your eyes
And it starts to burn away the painful memories
Change the sad tolling of the bell into a sound fitting for the moment you set sail
Hey, I can hear it
Love is raining down on you
The bell is signaling the thawing of the snow

I want your support too,****
Even if it’s in a spoiled voice, that’s okay*****
When you’re holding your knees under your arms and it feels like you’re about to go under,
Even if it’s an incoherent answer, spread out and look up******
There’s a future that transcends the story up in the sky

The anxiety and love that seem like they couldn’t mix together begin to dissolve
Stop the sound of the bell that's ringing out to signal the end
Look, the morning that was in sight before is coming down to you
Bye bye

The morning glow bursts into the sky before your eyes
And it starts to burn away the painful memories
Change the sad tolling of the bell into a sound fitting for the moment you set sail
Hey, I can hear it
Love is raining down on you
The bell is signaling the thawing of the snow

Don’t cry to the knell.
To alive a life at love to flight.
Flat for all clear good night.

Notes:
*,**,***,****,****** These are lines I'm particularly worried about. If you have corrections, feel free to let me know. :)
***** I saw someone else translate this as "Spread out the incoherent answers", and I feel like I'm probably wrong, but the way I read it was him asking the person to stretch out their arms and legs because they're curled up in a ball with their knees in their chest? I tend to get things like this twisted though.

Don’t cry for the knell

Sasai na yorokobi o tsutaete

Booby Adventure - Finding (rough english translation)

I'm not very confident about this one, but this song is super cute, and I don't think anyone else is going to translate it, so here's what I came up with.



Finding

I want to run away, with my eyes downcast
Slow down, slow down, slow down, slow down
Lost in the fog, with my eyes covered
No matter what, continuing like this*
Slow down, slow down

The immense amount of happiness I was supposed to be holding in my two hands,
Before I knew what had happened, it had overflowed and dropped away through a crack
I reached out my hand, but I couldn’t take it back

I found you at last, and the light started shining down
In this kind of atmosphere, it'll get more and more starry
Underneath the spotlight
Let’s laugh it off, and go on holding on tight to our hopes
So that one day they can become peoples’ dreams**

Lock on with a one-hit KO beam, this is for real
Trying to take it? You're a freak that'll fit right in,***
It’s going to flow through your veins
Caught up!! In a booby trap!!
On a stunning stage, the crazy engine goes vroooom!!
Dance and jump, go wild and bump
Meet up, join up your charms and countdown to our wild dance
At the count of 5, up and down, 4, a blazing bullet, 3, 2, 1****

I found you at last, and the light started shining down
In this kind of atmosphere, it'll get more and more starry
Underneath the spotlight
Let’s laugh it off, and go on holding on tight to our hopes
So that one day they can become peoples’ dreams**

I was crying every day, so I sang
I was crying every day, so I laughed

I wouldn’t listen to that kind of pain
Because it was different from the feelings I drew out
I felt like I was the only person in the whole world that was alone

I looked out over my surroundings again
Rather than thinking, I started running towards the future
With tears pouring down my face, I kept searching

I found you at last, and the light started shining down
In this kind of atmosphere, it'll get more and more starry
Underneath the spotlight
Let’s laugh it off, and go on holding on tight to our hopes
So that one day they can become peoples’ dreams**

Eyes meet, which turns into smiles
We were meant to be
We take each other’s hands, and this place becomes one where we belong
So that one day it can become your dream*****

Notes:
*,**,***,****, *****These are the lines I'm the most concerned about. Some of these could be very wrong. Please feel free to let me know if you have any corrections.
** and ***** sound so weird, but I can't figure out how else to word them

Finding

Bentham - Time Over (english translation)

I have a feeling that I botched this really badly, but here's my attempt at translating this song into English.

The way I read it was that "time over" meant the person singing was dying, and I assumed that's what the doppelgangers in the video meant. However, I saw another translation that took a very different approach to it, so I might be way off.



タイムオーバー / Time Over

Lyrics: Tatsuya Ozeki
Music: Reiji Tsuji

Dripping down, I’m melting
Spinning round and round, I’m falling
Today is being filled with farewells*
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Wait a second, my time’s over
It’s sad, isn’t it? That cloudy sky
Wait a second, my time’s over
It’s sad, isn’t it? That cloudy sky

One, two, three, four, five
One, two, three, four, five
I’ll run

Not yet, there’s still something after this
Each time I take a breath,
Pieces break off and fall down
Not yet, there’s still more
I’m disappearing with the bubbles from the soda

Dripping down, I’m melting
Spinning round and round, I’m falling
Today is being filled with farewells*
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Getting excited, I’m filled with joy
Unchanging things are disappearing
I stand still and look back
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Wait a second, my time’s over
It’s sad, isn’t it? That cloudy sky
Wait a second, my time’s over
It’s sad, isn’t it? That cloudy sky

One, two, three, four, five
One, two, three, four, five
I’ll run

Not yet, there’s still more
I’m disappearing with the bubbles from the soda

Dripping down, I’m melting
Spinning round and round, I’m falling
Today is being filled with farewells*
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Getting excited, I’m filled with joy
Unchanging things are disappearing
I stand still and look back
Hey, who is that front you’re putting up?**

Notes:
*, ** These lines are probably very wrong

Dohchin Yoshikuni - handle me right (rough english translation)

Man, I've been missing out. The songs Ali wrote for him are hot.

I made an attempt at translating this one into English, but I don't feel very confident about what I have. It's probably at least a little wrong. If you have any corrections, feel free to let me know.



handle me right

Lyrics: Ali, Dohchin Yoshikuni
Music: Ali

I don’t have an outlet, so I’m gathering up sounds*
And now, I’m avoiding places where the sun is shining
Only things without dreams are curious**
Honestly, even now, I’m still longing for somewhere

Help me baby
Till I come back here again
Just a little more
(Just a little more)

Handle me right
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle me right
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

I’m gazing at a person who can’t find refuge,
Questioning ideals and reality
I’m only afraid of things that don’t have shadows
Honestly, I’m melting from the inside of my head***

Help me baby
Till I come back here again
Just a little more
(Just a little more)

Handle me right
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle me right
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

Handle my vice
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle my vice
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

Violently blowing wind
Rain that won’t stop falling
I’m losing sight of you
The walls standing tall around us
A bell that won’t stop ringing
I want my voice to reach you
La la la…
Satisfy my lonely love

Handle me right
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle me right
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

Handle my vice
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle my vice
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

Notes:
*,**,*** I’m not too confident about this one in general, but these three lines are probably way off the mark
