色々あったね

A lot of things happened, huh

過ぎ行く時の中で消えた灯火

The lights went out in the time that passed

その渦の中足掻いた僕ら

We, who struggled in the middle of that whirlpool

前も見えなくなっていたね

We couldn’t even see what was before us

沢山泣いたね　

We cried a lot, huh

苦しかったよね　癒えない痛みに

It was painful, this pain we won’t heal from

その涙から生まれた尊さ

The preciousness that was born from those tears

儚い命の中で生きる日々

The days we lived in this fleeting life

だからこそ手をとって

So please take this hand

新たな産声をあげる

And give it a new breath of life

Someday we will meet again.

Someday we will meet again.

oh oh oh wow

いつからか愛し方を忘れて

Someday we’ll forget how to love

言葉という凶器まで使って

And even use a weapon called “words”

またねの裏に隠れた真意に

The true meaning hidden behind “see you later”

今なら気付ける、もう遅い？

Is it already too late if I realize it now?

心抱きしめる力が

Because if I had any power left 

僕に少しでも残っていたのなら

To embrace your heart

愛だと感じたもの掬いあげたいから

I’d want to scoop up that feeling of love

乗り越えることだけが勇気じゃない

Overcoming in itself isn’t courage

頑張れとかもう少しだとか

Things like “do your best” and “just a bit more”

ここに『いる』大丈夫

It’s fine if you’re “here”

今はそれだけでいい

Right now, that’s enough

小さな声でも掠れた声も

Even if it’s in a small voice, or a dry voice

果てない未来の先で生きる意味

The meaning of living beyond the endless future

だからこそ肩を貸すよ

That’s why I’ll lend you a shoulder

泣き晴らした笑顔を見せて

Show me your clear smile when the tears have passed

歩いて　歩いて　歩いて

And move forward, move forward, move forward

(Someday we will meet again.

Someday we will meet again.

oh oh oh wow)

Still on hiatus but I found Vaundy last night while lesson planning and decided to translate one of his songs. Will do Fukakouryoku next.

Why do we have children?

一世一代の博打のつもりか

Is it a once in a lifetime gamble?

ならば子を育てるのが親の務めか

Is raising a child a parent’s duty?

維持費は数百数千万の金(じゅみょ)

Maintenance costs hundreds of millions of dollars (a lifetime)

誰かのために生きている人と

People who live for someone else and

自分のために生きている人

People who live for themselves

「背負っている重さがおまえとは違う」と

“The weight I carry is different from yours”

背負われてる君が僕に言う

You say to me, as you’re being carried by me

今日の夜は２人で割り勘

We split the cost tonight

でもいつかの痛みは１人で割って

But someday the pain will be split by one person

残酷な歌詞を書いている手が

The hand that’s writing cruel lyrics

君のことをまた探している

Is searching for you again

間違っていたんだよ 思い違っていたんだよ

I was wrong, I misunderstood

胸が痛い理由はさ そんな事じゃなかったの

The reason my chest hurts, wasn’t because of that

悲しみが僕達と仲良く握手して

Sadness becomes our friend and shakes our hands

摩擦音が僕達の鼓膜内でクラッシュして

Noises from friction crash into our eardrums

嬉しみが僕達をさらなる苦しみへと誘う

Happiness invites us to suffer more

誘う

Invites us

売れないアーティストが口から吐き出す

The words that spill out of an artist that can’t sell

「これは芸術だ」「文句を言うな」

“This is art” “Don’t complain”

誰の助言も　俺にはいらない

I don’t need anyone’s advice

過信した自我が彼を包む

The overconfident ego envelops him

夢は大きく　目標はない

Big dreams, but no goal

口は大きいが　器はちいさい

The mouth talks, but the abilities are small

もうどうしたらいいんだ　と口から吐き出す

“What should I do now”, I spit out from my mouth

何もしていないことに　気づいていない

Not aware that I wasn’t doing anything in the first place

間違っていたんだよ　思い違っていたんだよ

I was wrong, I misunderstood

The reason my chest hurts, wasn’t because of that

I didn't see a translation for this song around, so I decided to translate it! I love Meychan and Araki's cover a lot~

“I’m not very good at calculation, just subtraction”

“Things like wishing to multiply non-negative integers, I don’t get them”

Duwa duwa duwa duwa

Duwa duwa duwas and a drink’s rate of carbonation are the only

Things that are perfect

My heart and body are breaking apart

I can do it if I try

Being an honest person is difficult, huh

But pretending is pretty easy

The voices of the two are disconnected, the night

Is too long, for whose sake?

Goodbye tears, Nice to meet you tears

If you cut me out, we can’t go back

“I’m not good at Japanese either, I just spin my pencil and let it decide my fate”*

“Please choose the optionthat’s closest to the writer’s state of mind”

“How should I put it, I haven’t finished my homework because of a one-night stand”

Tura Tura Tura Tura

Tura Tura I’ll fall into the trap

Why don’t you get another easy-to-understand woman like me?

Frankly speaking, I can’t really hear the hustle and bustle on the floor,

I can’t really hear, but whatever

I can’t help that I’m drunk, no one will get hurt

Empty the shot glass just a little

I want someone to scold me, to say that that’s bad

If you’re going to comfort me, do it later

Goodbye tears, Nice to meet you tears

I can’t go back to the beginning

There are lots of other girls, they’re adorable huh, so what??

Don’t look down on me, just do it already

I want to be saved, huh, do you have complaints or something

This isn’t a game, just do it later

I don’t care about kindness

If you’re going to let me go, do it right now

Come now, let’s leave

I was waiting for this

The perfect day to this plan

I’m already starving

It feels like a hand will come out my throat

The target is setting a goal, carrying it out

Quietly

I’ll wait for “the right moment” using the usual trick

Hey, open the door

The pure you

I won’t hand you over to anyone

Shall I play this love

With these hands?

Clear, white bare skin, up until your bone marrow

Soon, you’ll become only mine

Your shape is so beautiful

It makes my whole body ache

The more I think about it, I can’t hold myself back ah

Hurry up and knock

The pure you

I won’t hand you over to anyone

Shall I play this love

With these hands?

Clear, white bare skin, up until your bone marrow

I want to stick to all of you

On the promised time

Why didn’t you come?

Did you get lost somewhere, are you crying?

(Don’t cry, I cannot wait.)

I’ve already started feeling like this

This is the first time I’ve known love

Even if I lament to the night sky that I’ve been waiting for

These feelings won’t reach

Is it because you’re as beautiful as the ungraspable moon?

The pure you

I won’t hand you over to anyone

Shall I play this love

With these hands?

Clear, white bare skin, up until your bone marrow

I want to feel all of you

Who do you belong to?

All of you will become me

You were supposed to be crying, but was laughing instead

Why is that?

Sing with that friend you spent your youth with

I’m trying myself out, the big stage

Don’t depend on chances to arrive, snatch them away

The true pleasure of life, the problem at hand is this magnificent melody

It overturns common sense, a noisy and forcible success story

Kettaro: When I opened my eyes, I was incredibly late

Mi-chan: I panicked, and left the house running

Rap-bit: Newcomers, central cavalry, veterans

If everyone can smile together

Isn’t that the best?

Soon, a loud call

Another encore

We’ll end up repeating

The & best

Things like “coincidence”

Because it’s us

It’s fate

After all, “we never wanna stop making others smile”*
We’re still dancing

Dasoku: When I was checking out at the convenience store

amu: The total was 777 yen

I’ll kiss your smile

PointFive(.5): Sing in a cool and mellow way, the finest song

Ren: Make some noise!

VALSHE: Do your best!

Hanatan/Alfakyun: The ultimate life

All: I want to experience it

Rap-bit/Tightson: The excitement that never stops

Let’s raise it up

The biggest theme song

Hold it up high, go

Take off that mask of pretense from that flower

Show the world your true face

Deliver to the dazzling world

Sound

A dream that cannot be infinite

It roars hey hey

The sorrow I’m gonna throw away today

Is silence, a song to be cut up

Clap your hands now

Gero/Glutamine: Sing along to the joyful beat, windfall dance

Pokota/Hanatan: Link together your smile and hands

clear/nero: Bring together your entwined rhythms, a chance to synergize

Meychan: Sing!

Shine your sense of happiness, lucky jump

I’ll kiss your smile

Sing in a cool and mellow way, the finest song

Make some noise!
Do your best!
The ultimate life

I want to experience it

Translator notes:

1. Sing along to the joyful beat: "nosete" in the original can also mean "to ride", but I saw another meaning was "to sing along with" so I decided to go with the music choice!
2. A huge meeting of people standing back to back: the original has "oshikura manjuu", which is a children's game where there's three or more players. You have to gather in a circle, your backs pressed against each other as you face the outside.
3. Newcomers, central cavalry, and veterans: Referring to the "ranks" of when utaites started their career; the general consensus of generations is if you started 2007 - 2011, you're "kosan" (veteran). 2011 - 2015 is "chuuken" (central cavalry), and anything after 2015 is "shinzan" (newcomer).
4. After all, "we never wanna stop making others smile": the line in quotes is actually a line from the very first Niconicollab, "Smiling"!

Thanks for stopping by! Enjoy!!
