maru batsu sankaku shikaku

Vocals: Ayaponzu* (あやぽんず＊)
Lyrics: kaztora
Arranged by: kaztora
Album: シンクロ (Synchro)
Circle: 森羅万象 (Shinra-Bansho)
Event: C92
Original theme: The Centennial Festival for Magical Girls [魔法少女達の百年祭]

Requested by: Sea

Update (7 August 2022): Album details updated to reflect this track’s subsequent release in Synchro. It originally appeared in the single 銀河超夢重力エトワール, released at Autumn Reitaisai 3.

So, this track is from one of 4 event-limited singles released by Shinra-bansho over the past 8 months or so. Kaztora promised on Twitter that all of them will be remixed and released as part of a future album, so don’t worry! I transcribed the lyrics from a very blurry photo uploaded by someone seeking to sell this single online. I managed to get everything apart from about 5 complex kanji, so consider this a draft translation until the track is re-released and I’m able to look at a proper lyrics sheet.

I always say that kaztora’s lyrics are spicy, which makes this track really weird (in a good way). It combines a ‘sweet’ subject [unrequited love] with kaztora’s spicy lyrical style. It’s weird, but compelling at the same time.

Also, I think 〇×△□ is meant to be someone’s name, except the speaker has censored it out. If you have any other ideas, let me know!

非公式の英訳/Unofficial translation

Swaying melancholically, I gave a single sigh.
I feigned ignorance and acted like I didn’t love you anymore. Hah…

I can’t be true to myself. I hide my feelings
Beneath the tower of words I piled up,
In my books, I’m a (brave!) protagonist
And my devotion stands out in my secret world.
La la la… we’ll be together forever.

Every day, I just do the same boring things over again.
Why can’t I see you? It’s like my habits resent my destiny.

I can’t stop my romantic feelings.
Ah… I gaze at the sky beneath the books I know all too well.
My heart beats so fast I can’t control it!
I want to know how you’d greet me, right now!

That’s right—〇×△□, I’m crazy about you!
This triangle was formed from diagonal lines. Oh, to love and be loved. Next, next, next!
My feelings grow stronger. I’ve never experienced this before!
Show me a world that I know nothing about
Please, okay? Ah…

Stop annoying me! How mean… you’re in my way!
Why, why, why? I can’t stand it!
“Come and see me!” My hopes just grow stronger.

I want to tell you how I really feel,
But though I want to say those words, I can’t. I’m in limbo.
My heart’s so irritating, but what can I do?
I want you
To teach me some forbidden things…

That’s right—every day of the week, I’m crazy about you! (1)
Weekends are the same: I just keep looking up at the sky.
I want you to tell me the secrets of Agastya.
Hey, I don’t mind if you look
Even further inside me…

In light that seems to burst and come together,
It looks like my mischievous magic is scalding.
I’ve never felt this way before!
Before I return to zero, call my name.
If you leave me like this, I’ll get all weird!

And today, too—〇×△□, I’m crazy about you!
This right angle was formed from diagonal lines. I pine for you. Next, next, next!
My permanent thoughts are inside this ubiquitous box.
But why? You and I
Fly upon this comet. We head far away…

〇×△□, I’m crazy about you!
