Tokyo to kyou (Tokyo and Today)

I longed for this city where there’s nothing
I longed for this city where there’s everything
I’m sure it’s because it’s like me, who seemed to have it all
And who lost it all

You not being here, and you being here just keeps repeating
I parted with you, and again I loved another you
In the sky that is called narrow can be seen
All that I, who am called mean, have lost

Tokyo Metropolis, today and today, Tokyo, today one of my dreams came true
Tokyo Metropolis, today and today, Tokyo, but when I meet you my dreams increase by one
The sparks overflow and become a new city

I longed for this city where there’s nothing
I want to do something, that’s all I yearn for
I want to go to space or to Tokyo, this is space, but it’s Tokyo
I hate that I can only go to the places I wished for

Tokyo Metropolis, today and today, Tokyo, today I saw a single star
But I’m already an adult, so I’ll deal with my wishes myself
You scream at the sky and become a new star

GIRL’S GIRL

When will I be complete
I’ll trick you with this tentative me for now
Even though I want to fall in love, work
Go to cafes, take selfies with the complete me

It’s not that I want to be chosen by someone
I want to choose me
I want to break through mundane cuteness and meaninglessness
And become cute

I can’t walk downtown
Downtime, how helpless
BOY, don’t be cautious of sex
GIRL, who’s plastic surgery get’s pointed out

It’s been 2 months without me being able to love
I won’t go back to the old me
I want to love the world
So I want to feel love towards myself

Cuteness is something that I, who was beaten down by justice
forcibly made to make you all see that even now
This cuteness won’t wear off
I’ll never let anyone tear it off

GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the best
GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the worst
GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the best
GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the worst
You assholes don’t get it at all

That girl, who’s real self is completely different from her selfies
And that model too, who says she used eyelid glue so often now my eyes are just naturally double eyelids
and laughs while sticking out her tongue
They’re both fighting, what’s wrong with that?

Being denied my desire for acknowledgement from others, I’m not protecting the peace for you assholes
I just want to make you accept the me who I accepted, what’s wrong with that?

Running through downtown
GIRL, easily working her part-time job
Don’t hold back, go towards the new age

Cute moms raising children, what’s wrong with that?
Did you think that when a woman gives birth she becomes a creature called mother?
Who’s the ADULT BABY?

My cuteness and a child’s cuteness
They’re both precious, what’s wrong with that?
Right now, let us end the virtue of sacrificing everything
I want to live cutely

GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the best
GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the worst
GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the best
GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the worst
It’s not like I want you to get it, but
if you don’t get it, I do wonder what’s wrong with you

GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the best
GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the worst
GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the best
GIRL’S GIRL, girls are the worst
You assholes don’t get it at all

Shinigami (死神) lyrics translation

Shinigami (Grim Reaper)

My resume is all a lie, the name I gave at the beauty parlor was a lie too
So long as it’s not the real me, I can endure being scorned
You’re wrong, I’m an angel who came to save you from the grip of death
Yet you said I’m the Grim Reaper, I cry and say I’m fine with that

Preparing for sorrow is my speciality, I’ll eat foods that are soft and easy to throw up
Since we might part some day, I have no need of anything that has a shape
As long as you can live happily, I don’t mind being worn down
If I die in your stead again and again, my appearance will be that of a monster
But

Tell me that appearance and respectability don’t matter and hold me
Let us make love until one day it doesn’t matter if we’re man or woman

I’ve been told that someone like me shouldn’t raise a child
Even if history will prove me right one day, there’s no point
I really want to kill all that which has worn me down
But I’ve only been killing myself for the sake of someone else’s shitty peace that won’t allow anyone to step out of line

It’s because I’ve lived as if I’m already dead that I can live, when this planet weakens
Raise the banner of the revolution, I am the Grim Reaper who will kill this world

The river flows into the sea, people flow towards death
The setting sun will judge if you have done all that you can
Turn sorrow into money, make flowers bloom with your rage
All originates from and squirms under love

The right arm I threw away is searching for your you
Those rushing legs are kicking the meteor around
We already saw the end of the world a long time ago
That’s right, we were defeated again and again

The river flows into the sea, people flow towards death
The setting sun will judge if you have done all that you can
Who will stand in judgement, even if the sun sets
At the place where I fight life is squirming

少女漫画少年漫画 / Shoujo Manga Shounen Manga

There are 34 clusters in this classroom who have 34 philosophies they don’t know what to do with
They lend and borrow CDs, movies and comics among themselves, searching for someone with the same soul

Matching the color and number, just like Old Maid, I go home from school
What’s my card, it’s the joker
So strong, so lonely

The teacher of the neighbor class made light of the cursed video
Their upper body was found in a plaster bust in the art room
Their lower body in the dummy in the science classroom

The student council president conceived a child with the teacher of the class next to the neighbor class
We loved each other, lusted for each others souls
The two of them kissed at the morning assembly
The two of them are covered with wounds
The two of them kissed

Shoujo manga, shounen manga
Where is my, my youth
Shoujo manga, shounen manga
Our love is probably dirty

The 34 clusters in this classroom, 1/34 times 34 clusters
Keep watch of each other so that no one gets ahead of the others
They reject the outside world

Linking only our little fingers, we ride the Chuo Line
As we say we can go anywhere we want, we reach the terminal station
Someone has already trampled on tomorrow, it’s falling over, we will live that worn out tomorrow

The magic isn’t working, the curse won’t lift
I spit on all the seasons

Shoujo manga, shounen manga
I paint my white spring on a white paper
Nothing remains, no one knows

Shoujo manga, shounen manga
Where is my, my youth
Our love is priceless

So that my 34 precious students
Won’t see how immature I am as a person
I always sing someone else’s songs
I will never sing of my own love
