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.

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.
**Meaning, looking at his own attitude from the perspective of a fan

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***

Notes:
*, **, ***, ****, *****I’m not really sure about these lines. They might be wrong.

Asty - Ringoame (english translation)

林檎飴 / Candied Apple

Lyrics: Takeru
Music: Yuuki

I’m getting dizzy, I'm so crazy about you!

Sorry, I made you wait!
What’s that, you’re even wearing just the right yukata!*
And it seems like you decided to put your hair up the perfect way too!

Me too – look, look, I’m wearing that yukata you wanted to see!
I wonder if I’ve tied the obi I can’t seem to get the hang of wearing neatly?

When the two of us draw closer to each other, is it you that’s making me feel hot?
I ask for a fan**
I like you! I like you! I like you! I love you!

When we join hands, I feel like I’m floating
My heart’s pounding, what should I do?
When I look at you, I get nervous
Am I making your heart race too?

When I look up at the night sky, it’s like it’s whirling around
Of course, it might also be because of your dazzling smile
I gaze at you, and it’s like I’m spinning round and round***
A candied apple that’s going to melt during the night

Hey, hey, can you hear it?
The sound of my pulse
I’m so unsteady on my feet, it’s like I’ve forgotten where I am
Rising up faster than the fireworks shooting into the air,
My feelings for you are ready to explode

Counting all those frustratingly slow days on my fingers,
I feel like if I tell you, it’ll all fall to pieces

But I want to tell you, I’ve gotta tell you! I want to say it to you!
I’m right on the edge of my capacity
I like you! I like you! I like you! I love you!
Ah, that’s it, I want you right now!

When we join hands, I feel like I’m floating
My heart’s pounding, what should I do?
When I look at you, I get nervous
Am I making your heart race too?

When I look up at the night sky, it’s like it’s whirling around
Of course, it might also be because of your dazzling smile
I gaze at you, and it’s like I’m spinning round and round
A sweet love that’s going to melt during the night

I’m getting dizzy, I'm so crazy about you!

Notes:
*I’m not sure about the “tte are”
**Not sure about the specific verb here
***Not sure what “kyurukyuru” means – I think I saw someone compare it to the kind of turning sound of someone rewinding a videotape on Japanese Yahoo Answers, but I don’t know if that’s correct

MO'SOME TONEBENDER - Ashioto to Short Hope (english translation)

Going back to finish some older tracks I did romaji for ages ago but didn't understand well enough to translate at the time. Weird to think I started working on this in 2012.

I'm fairly sure I'm still reading at least a few of these lines wrong, but I tried.



足跡とショートホープ / Footprints and Short Hope*

Lyrics: Kazuhiro Momo
Music: Isamu Fujita

I threw myself down on the lawn,
And I was watching the cars go back and forth
The night sky,
In an extraordinarily deep place, it was shaking**

I went down a steep embankment,
And I started to walk along the railroad tracks
Caught in a broken chain-link fence, my heart got left behind
In a dry river, there was an upside-down, rusted bicycle
Restrained by the insurmountable force of gravity

Since I barely noticed my worn down heel,***
I headed out onto the straight national highway
Home is still far away

From inside my ringing ears,****
I’m chasing after the days*****
Words are fading away
I shut down my heart and keep walking
The dust the light is shining down on,
It's dancing in the air
From the west, one by one,
I count the stars that are going to disappear

Just a little more
Morning is coming
While humming a tune,
Holding a cigarette in my mouth, I’ll walk on
I light a broken match

Notes:
*Short Hope is a cigarette brand
**, ***, ****, ***** I’m really not sure about these lines – they’re probably at least a little wrong

足跡とショートホープ/ Ashioto to Short Hope

Shibafu ni nekoronde
Ikikau kuruma o miteta
Yozora wa tohoumonaku fukai toko de yureteru

Kyuu na dote o kudatte
Senro-zoi ni aruki-hajimeta
Yabureta kanaami ni hikkakatta KOKORO ga nokoru
Mizu no nai kawa ni wa sakasa ni sabita jitensha
Sakaraenai juuryoku ni hikitomerarete

Surihetta kakato o
Sukoshi ki ni shina kara
Massugu na kokudou
Ie wa mada tooi*

Miminari no oku kara
Tsukihi ga oikakete kuru

Kuwae tabako de aruite-yukou

Notes:
*The kanji says “chigai,” but Momo says “tooi” in the song
