Unknown to My Lover

Vocals: たま (Tama)
Lyrics: 笥箪 (Sutan)
Arranged by: Coro
Album: Re:Raise
Circle: TAMAONSEN (魂音泉)
Event: Reitaisai 10 [RTS10]
Original Theme: Youkai Domination ~ Who done it!! [妖々跋扈 ～ Who done it!]

Requested by: Jousuke

The title is another one that’s tricky to interpret. You can look at it as こい（は）人しれず, ‘Love is Secretive’, or you can look at it as こい人　しれず, ‘Unknown to My Lover’ (similar to 人しれず). The lack of kanji makes it all the more difficult, so it’s probably intentional.

三つ折りにした手紙
ふすま越し 背な合わせ
もう逢えぬやも知れぬ
せめて一目

mitsuori ni shita tegami
fusuma-goshi sena awase
mou aenu yamo shirenu
semete hitome

I folded my letter in three.
We sit back to back against the sliding screen.
We may never meet again
but if I could just have a single glance…

衣擦れの音 かすかな吐息　気怠さまじり
青い火の燃ゆるは過去の昔

kinuzure no oto kasuka na toiki kedarusa majiri
aoi hi no moyuru wa kako no mukashi

The sounds of rustling clothes and faint breaths mix with listlessness.
Blue flames flared in the distant past.

紅鮭の解した身のごとく朝はしごく軽やか
灯籠の佇まいのごとく
夜は密やかに

benizake no hagushita mi no gotoku asa wa shigoku karuyaka
tourou no tatazumai no gotoku
yoru wa hisoyaka ni

The morning is light. It resembles a red salmon, broken apart.
Like a hanging lantern,
The night is secretive…

逆さまの影と狐火の往く
賢しらの猿は金切り声
びりりびりりと破られる音に
手遅れの気配が胸をしめる

sakasama no kage to kitsunebi no yuku
sakashira no mashira wa kanakiri-goe
biriri biriri to yaburareru oto ni
teokure no kehai ga mune o shimeru

Inverted shadows and will-o-wisps come and go.
The insolent monkey lets out a shriek.
A buzzing noise shatters the peace.
I feel that it’s too late. It tightens my heart.

控え目に抱き寄せた腕　一抓り 白い指
今更よ 莫迦ね

hikaeme ni dakiyoseta ude hitotsu-neri shiroi yubi
imasara yo baka ne

You gently held me close. Your white fingers pinched me.
After all this time! What an idiot…

薄い微笑みに隠れた意味を
見落としていた訳ではないけど

usui hohoemi ni kakureta imi o
miotoshite ita wake dewa nai kedo

There’s no way that I overlooked
the meaning hidden in your faint smile.

三つ叉の道の先うなる煙の都
もう何もが違えば
此処は何処

mitsumata no michi no saki unaru kemuri no miyako
mou nani mo ga chigaeba
koko wa izuko

A smoky metropolis hums beyond the three-pronged road.
If everything is different now
then where am I?

人波は早過ぎて横目に嘲りまじり
可哀そうに
あの御方 化かされたね

hitnami wa hayasugite yokome ni azakeri majiri
kawaisou ni
ano oata bakasareta ne

The crowds of people are too quick. They scorn with sidelong glances.
They pity me.
I guess that person has been enchanted.

朝焼けの眩しさは いつでも　あくびののち忘れて
夕焼けの怪しさは いつまでも
こびり付いたまま

asayake no mabushisa wa itsu demo akubi no nochi wasurete
yuuyake no ayashisa wa itsu made mo
kobori tsuita mama

I always forget the radiance of the morning glow in a yawn,
But the mystery of sunset
is eternal.

路地裏の陰を黒猫が行く
傘売りの翁はささやき声
ひらりひらりと舞う紙吹雪に
遅過ぎる涙が頬を伝う

rojiura no kage o kuroneko ga yuku
kasauri no okina wa sasayaki-goe
hirari hirari to mau kamifubuki ni
ososugiru namida ga hoho o tsutau

A black cat walks in the shadows of the back alley.
The old umbrella-seller whispers.
In the lightly dancing confetti,
Tears fall down my cheeks. They came too late…

知らぬ間に差し出した指
一掴み　知らぬ腕
あら 何方かしら

shiranu ma ni sashidashita yubi
hitotsukami shiranu ude
ara donata kashira

I pointed a finger while I still didn’t know.
A handful. Unfamiliar arms.
Oh, who might it be?

薄い微笑みの意味など既に
有耶無耶のままに霞んで消えた

usui hohoemi no imi nado sude ni
uyamuya no mama ni kasunde kieta

The meaning of your faint smile
had already faded away, remaining unclear.

恋する幻想郷 || Fall in Love With Gensokyo

Fall in Love With Gensokyo

Vocals: ill.bell
Lyrics: ill.bell
Arranged by: Coro
Album: World’s End Garden 【Official Site】
Circle: TAMAONSEN (魂音泉)
Event: C77
Original Theme: The Gensokyo the Gods Loved [神々が恋した幻想郷]

Requested by: Genki

The weird thing about the title is that it can be interpreted as either ‘Fall in Love With Gensokyo’ or ‘Gensokyo in Love.’ I went with the first one because it seems linked to the original theme’s title. In that case, ‘loving’ is what comes after the verb.

Also, hey, TAMAONSEN uploaded their discography to iTunes and Google Play! If you like the lyrics, consider buying their albums!

極稀にExtend　それも適度なAccent
何処にも届かないSound　叩きつけるようにSend
どう転べどとうの昔に過ぎ去ってしまった年月
全て留める少女　その瞳に焼き付ける絶景

gokumare ni Extend sore mo tekido na Accent
doko ni mo todokanai Sound tatakitsukeru you ni Send
dou korobedo tou no mukashi ni sugisatte shimatta nengetsu
subete todomeru shoujo sono me ni yakitsukeru zekkei

Extremely rarely, extend. That’s a moderate accent too.
Those sounds won’t reach anywhere. Send them out like you’re throwing them.
No matter how you fall, those months and years passed by long ago.
That girl records everything. A beautiful view is burned into her eyes.

gokumare ni Extend sore mo tekido na Accent

Extremely rarely, extend. That’s a moderate accent too.
Those sounds won’t reach anywhere. Send them out like you’re throwing them.
No matter how you fall, those months and years passed by long ago.
That girl records everything. And in her eyes…

水面に揺蕩う　小さな紅は小舟のよう
これは何度目の季節かなと　ふと胸に問う

minamo ni tayutau chiisana kurenai wa kobune no you
kore wa nando-me no kisetsu ka na to futo mune ni tou

That small spot of crimson drifts around on the water’s surface like a small boat.
“How many seasons has it been now?” she suddenly asks her heart.

数えきれないほどの言葉を　どこかに忘れてしまったの
微かに残る歌、詩と音
きっと全部昔のこと

kazoe kirenai hodo no kotoba o doko ka ni wasurete shimatta no
kasuka ni nokoru uta, shi to oto
kitto zenbu mukashi no koto

I ended up forgetting those countless words somewhere.
Traces of songs, poems, and sounds linger.
All these things must be in the past.

大事なことが思い出せないんだ
嵌められた重い枷なんか　吹き飛ばすような言葉と音色
それも半ば思い出せないんだ

daiji na koto ga omoidasenai nda
hamerareta omoi kase nanka fukitobasu you na kotoba to neiro
sore mo nakaba omoidasenai nda

I can’t remember those important things.
Words and sounds seemed to blow away the heavy shackles that trapped me.
I can only half remember them…

平和だの愛だの
人が　死ぬまでの間の
短い徒競走で忙しそうに笑う

heiwa da no ai da no
hito ga shinu made no aida no
mijikai tokyousou de isogashisou ni warau

This is peace. This is love.
Before humans die,
They engage in a short footrace. They smile, seeming busy.

ひとり迷い疲れ　辿り着いた場所
目の覚めるような景勝
見下ろす渓谷　この美しさは
人の言葉では適わないだろう
見上げれば陽光　鮮やかに煌めく飛沫
浮世に蔓延るしがらみを　融かしてゆく陽だまり

hitori mayoi tsukare tadori tsuita basho
me no sameru you na keishou
miorosu keikoku kono utsukushisa wa
hito no kotoba de wa kanawanai darou
miagereba youkou azayaka ni kirameku shibuki
ukiyo ni habikoru shigarami o tokashite yuku hidamari

I went astray and grew weary alone. I struggled on and arrived here.
This beautiful landscape is enough to wake me up.
I look down into a valley, and perhaps its beauty
is no match for human words.
When I look up, I see sunshine. Splashes of water glisten brilliantly.
A sunny spot melts away the shackles that run rampant through this fleeting world.

（青いサインなら”GO WAY” とても簡単なこと）
暖かい光に包まれ　再び歩くことを思い出す
（Take only chance let it GO WAY and you will never stop）
息を切らして頂上まで登りゃ
嘘みたいに視界が開ける

(aoi sain nara ”GO WAY” totemo kantan na koto)
attakai hikari ni tsutsumare futatabi aruku koto o omoidasu
(Take only chance let it GO WAY and you will never stop)
iki o kirashite choujou made noborya
uso mitai ni shikai ga hirakeru

(When the light’s green, “GO WAY”. It’s really simple!)
Wrapped up by warm light, I remember how to walk again.
(Take only chance let it GO WAY and you will never stop.)
I climb to the summit and get all out of breath.
There, a vast landscape stretches out. It’s like a lie.

遥けき　溢るる幸
懐かしい歌が響く

harukeki afururu sachi
natsukashii uta ga hibiku

Distant happiness overflows.
A nostalgic song echoes.

通わせて　震わせる
意味を求めながら

kayowasete furuwaseru
imi o motome nagara

It makes me travel and it makes me tremble.
All the while, I search for its meaning.

呆れるほどに遠く
浮遊せり　音の標

akireru hodo ni tooku
fuyuuseri oto no shirube

The floating symbol of sounds
is so far away I’m shocked.

何時の日も　迷わずに
辿り着けるように

itsu no hi mo mayowazu ni
tadori tsukeru you ni

I pray that I’ll always reach my destination
without going astray.

(Rock) We’re all gonna rock it steady
Otherwise we gotta make it overdose
You already know it surely flows
Its like the lady of a rose
Get dispose of the deadliest foes
She is still waitin’ for the shows
冬も間近に　暮れる随に　音が交わり

(Rock) We’re all gonna rock it steady
Otherwise we gotta make it overdose
You already know it surely flows
Its like the lady of a rose
Get dispose of the deadliest foes
She is still waitin’ for the shows
fuyu mo majika ni kureru manima ni oto ga majiwari

(Rock) We’re all gonna rock it steady
Otherwise we gotta make it overdose
You already know it surely flows
Its like the lady of a rose
Get dispose of the deadliest foes
She is still waitin’ for the shows
Winter is near. As it grows darker, sounds mingle together.

詩に書けど当て所無く　温もりへと手伸ばす
孤独な問わず語り　定型句とわずかな韻
溢れるなら溺れよう
乾くのなら求めよう
全ては流れの様

shi ni kakedo atedo naku nukumori e to te nobasu
kodoku na towazugatari teikeiku to wazuka na in
afureru nara oboreyou
kawaku no nara motomeyou
subete wa nagare no you

Though I write it down as a poem, I’ve got no aim. I reach out towards warmth.
These are lonesome, unprompted remarks. They’re fixed sentences and faint rhymes.
If they’ll overflow, then I’ll drown.
If they’ll dry up, then I’ll search for them.
Everything’s like a stream.

幾百年、幾千年
残るものだけ大切にして
失ったものなら遠い過去に
今は小さな鳥籠に収まるなど勿体ない
どうせなら壮大なスケールで鳴らそう
Not a sole body lock on the stage

ikuhyaku-nen, ikusen-nen
nokoru mono dake taisetsu ni shite
ushinatta mono nara tooi kako ni
ima wa chiisana torikago ni osamaru nado mottai nai
douse nara soudai na sukeiru de narasou
Not a sole body lock on the stage

Across countless centuries, countless millennia…
I only value things that have been left behind.
The things I lost were lost in the distant past.
It’s a waste to be stuck in a small birdcage now!
You might as well sing on a grand scale!
Not a sole body lock on the stage

（青いサインなら”GO WAY” とても簡単なこと）
暖かい光に包まれ　再び歩くことを思い出す
（Take only chance let it GO WAY and you will never stop）
息を切らして頂上まで登りゃ

Wrapped up by warm light, I remember how to walk again.

I pray that I’ll always reach my destination

I wish for a way to get back
the colours and passion that are drifting away.

It makes me travel and it makes me tremble.

Though I dress them up, though I mend them,
My words and feelings will never run out.

Unforgettable. I was in love.
It was eternal…

[Romonosov?]
駅前交差点晴れ時々雨 握り締めた片道切符
背伸びしてこの街を臨む徐に ビルとビル結ぶとホロスコープ
追憶は決まってセピアかモノクローム 届かない過去 手伸ばす自ずと
摂取 反芻 まるで拒食症 食傷しクシャクシャにした原稿
エンドレスに思えたワルツ今は面倒でエンピツはまた丸くなる一方
歩くマッスグ その歩数 だけの足跡は残ってるのかな、と嫌になる
あの日なけなしのキュリアスしかないのに
梨の木の下何の気なしにした話覚えてるかな
今は神のみぞ なんてな

[Romonosov?]

[Romonosov?]
The crossing in front of the train station is sunny, sometimes rainy. I tightly held a one-way ticket.
I stretch out and face the street suddenly. When you connect the buildings, you get a horoscope.
My memories are always sepia or monochrome. I naturally reach out for a past I cannot reach.
Intake. Pondering. This feels like anorexia—the manuscript has been fed too much and is all creased.
The waltz seemed endless. Now, it’s a pain. The pencil is still round, as well.
I walk straight ahead. I get fed up wondering if only those steps will remain.
All I had back in those days was a small curio
but I wonder if you remember the casual conversations we had beneath the nashi tree…
I guess that’s something God only knows now, huh?

[Ginryu]
開いて結ぶ間に消え去る数多の場
ゼロに帰れば次は貴方の番
手負いのまま苛む朝から晩
This in? Is this? DIS?
「A Starry! Starry!」だがまだまだ
何故だか物足りぬ景色の中
嫌な所ばかりに気付き過ぎる
酷い傷にKiss…

[Ginryu]
hiraite musubu ma ni kiesaru amata no ba

This in? Is this? DIS?
“A Starry! Starry!” daga mada mada
naze da ka monotarinu keshiki no naka
iya na toko bakari ni kidzuki sugiru
hidoi kizu ni Kiss…

[Ginryu]
Many places disappear while they’re opened and closed.
When things return to zero, you’ll be up next!
Tormented, bearing wounds, from morning to night.
This in? Is this? Dis?
“A starry! Starry!” But there’s still much longer to go…
In a landscape that isn’t enough, for some reason,
I’m too aware of disagreeable places.
Kiss these cruel wounds…

受け止めた 矛先はいつもこちら側を眺めてる

The spearhead I caught is always looking this way.
I peeped out and saw the outside world. It will change in a flash.
The needles gently meet halfway. They’re at their wit’s end…
I reminisce, tinged with longing, while knowing it’s meaningless.

[Ginryu]
だからこのプライベートベルベットの空の下
思い出す嘗ての楽しさ 波紋呼ぶ意思の美しさ
噛み潰す思惑はクランベリー
籠の目に放るとある日の出過ぎた欲 I will never forget.
誰もいなくなる？いずれは。禁じられた遊び
Resurrection 記憶の片隅 lnnovation 喜べない事実
Renovation 不能なまでに 恋の迷路 刻まれた確かに
追いかけても 遠ざけても 消え去らない
また一瞬のみの真実を生きよう 壊されない内に

Renovation funou na made ni koi no meiro kizamareta tashika ni

mata isshun nomi no shinjitsu o ikiyou kowasarenai uchi ni

[Ginryu]
After all, beneath this private, velvet sky
I remember former enjoyment, the beauty of intention that calls waves.
The predictions I chew up are cranberries.
When I throw things into the cage’s eyes, protruding lust from those days appears. I will never forget it.
Everyone will disappear? Sooner or later. These games are forbidden.
Resurrection. In corners of my memories. Innovation. I can’t be delighted at this truth.
Renovation. So much so it’s incompetent. I’m in a labyrinth of love. Things have certainly been engraved.
Though I chase it, though I keep it distant, it won’t disappear.
I’ll live for momentary truth while it remains whole.

[Romonosov?]

Hond it tight,hold it tight in holy night

I can’t turn back. My thoughts are scattered.
Your eyes, your ears… I stop breathing. 1, 2, 3. It’s simply a spirit of inquiry.
What do you get when you add 1 and 1? It’s such a simple thing.
Before I get rid of the answers in front of me that aren’t 0 or 1, before they’re forgotten and destroyed,
Hold it tight, hold it tight in a holy night.

While changing, a child is grown.

We share our lives, so easy to lose, once again.
How are we doing?
April next year will be different. Don’t change, analogue heart of mine…

New songs keep increasing. I repeat work and crowds of people.
My favourite places just keep decreasing. The townscape is lit up by the moonlight.

I meant to put something before the translation, but by the time I went to I was so drained I just wanted to post the translation (^_^); TAMAONSEN always requires a lot of work and a lot of thought (because it’s rap and everything), but I think this track was the most complex.

The song itself is about Mountain of Faith. It’s full of little in-jokes and references that you can hopefully pick out (e.g. bugged Marisa). I couldn’t get everything – this translation just scratches the surface of something quite complex.

Anyway, we’re gonna leap right at it!
Common sense that’s outside the norm may be called absurdity,
But to be honest I don’t care. I’ve divorced myself from sycophants and their snide remarks.
Should I say what I feel or toss away my remaining lives? Do or die.
I can’t put it off or hesitate. I aim the gun at my head, at my able companions, in this useless cemetery.
We ain’t no TAS. We load our souls with cheats and human power.

This battle group will surely bring on indiscriminate terror: Tamaonsen 3.0!
The small fry break through with abnormal force. They’ll kill in a second, and write down instant killing.
Touhou Vocal. Balance breaker. Playback. The kids are upstart players.

Since birth, my value’s been at max value. I can’t stop. Halve the world’s logic and you’ll go against the wind.
Perhaps it’s useless resistance. All I lack is shame.
“Kids should play with the lives left to them.” Yuck you!
I stick up my middle finger. I’m gonna kill ‘em with these Coro beats.
Start it up and you’ll reach the highest score. You know, we are TAMAONSEN!

Album: LIVES 【Official Site】
Circle: TAMAONSEN (魂音泉)
Event: C93
Original Theme: Faith is for the Transient People [信仰は儚き人間の為に]

Requested by: Petalite Yuu

This took me ages, like pretty much all TAMAONSEN tracks. This track is pretty cool, though – it focuses on TAMAONSEN as a band, using the Touhou theme to provide context.

TOS gonna be okay
此処は何処かに居たって光る一等星
つまりは… Everything’s gonna be alright
手挙げたならば見逃しっこない

TOS gonna be okay

TOS is gonna be okay!
We’re a first-magnitude star that shines somewhere else.
In other words… everything’s gonna be alright.
Once you’ve raised your hands, there’s no way we’ll overlook you!

Ei yo! TOS R A+Back, and Coro’s on the set.
We’re always the best, the greatest spring of sounds.
Sorry for the wait. Happiness is all bunched together now. Let’s go!

This scene is still unchanged, and as for the music sung along the way,
Leave it to all of us!
Let’s prepare extraordinary ‘PEACE.’

ていうかなんていうか これが日常になった瞬間
声あげる理由や決まりなどヤボだなった痛感 I got it

suteeji kara suteeji mata suteeji e monogatari wa tsugi no peeji e
Time and tide wait for no man

I mean, like, this has become a daily tradition.
I’ve realised that reasons to sing and rules are so dumb. I got it.
From stage to stage, and to yet another stage, this tale progresses to its next page.
Time and tide wait for no man.

いつしか恒例になってたみたい ライブの直前 手と手重ね

joudan mo hodohodo ni ikkon katamuke teyou go zansho Drink it, more…

Before live shows, we put our hands over each other’s. It became a custom before we knew it.
The shutters click. We share what’s given to us with the digital world—50%, cleanly divided.
Sometimes we have tea, sometimes things get intense. Sometimes we get drunk. Hah…
We joke in moderation, too. Let’s have a glass! The heat lingers. Drink it, more…

過ぎ去ったブームの亡霊 消え入りそうなシーンの声を
けして忘れない 心に留めておこう
そのうえで新たな 1st step 踏み出すのさ
And you don’t stop 手始めに

sugisatta buumu no bourei kieiri sou na shiin no koe wo
keshite wasurenai kokoro ni tomete okou
sono ue de arata na 1st step fumidasu no sa
And you don’t stop te hajime ni

The ghosts of the boom that passed by, and the voices of a vanishing scene…
Let’s never forget them. Let’s keep them in our hearts.
On top of that, let’s make a new first step.
And you don’t stop. At the beginning…

Hands up! Don’t be uneasy.
Put on airs and show off. Well done!
I don’t need a world in which one’s quirks are lost.
Show me your colours. Show me, with that move!
Hands up! If you feel like it, come this way.

Today, we become adults. “Welcome home” formed a pair with “farewell.”
We met for a moment. What timing. We go to meet the destiny we’ve given ourselves up to. You got it.
Call out, even at random. I keep waiting for my chance every day.
Time and tide wait for no man.

Playing peekaboo, we can’t pretend not to see each other and burst out laughing. We like this.
Even if I’m no good, or worthless, I just can’t not sing.
It’s always the same. We’re so selfish. Feel so good tonight.
We’ll gloriously present this solitary album to you.

幾星霜が流れて 泡沫みたく飛散した時も

Many months and years flow by. Like a bubble on the water, it scattered.
We won’t cry. We don’t want to overlook a transient future.
If you’re scared of the dark and don’t know where you are,
Make sure you hold on tight. All together now!

Every day, every night… it’s like an eternity.
I want to drink together at that garden, listening to those sounds. No, instead…
I want to try putting our hands together, okay?

Out of TAMAONSEN’s stable of lyricists, I find rapbit’s lyrics the hardest to interpret. That doesn’t mean there isn’t a good story hidden away here, though!

ok, 再確認しよう 見たことある景色がただ浮かぶ以上
僕は何処かの誰かの陰謀で 傍から見たならば謎の死亡説
時間の感覚も気になるけど もう顔なじみの見知らぬ天井
何をどうしたらテープは巻き戻る Step upしてくのは劣化
で、結果 現在 全然関係ない 明日へのビジョン 独自の理論
なんせえらく気楽に考えちゃう衝動
梅雨らしく天候は最悪な予報
ポジティブもネガティブに捻じ曲げる報道
メンタルはプレパラートさながらの強度
なんか あるだけマシに思えちゃう通行料
改めて放たれる 痛みをHold on

Okay, let’s check things again, as long as that familiar landscape is just floating by.
I was manipulated by someone, somewhere. When looked at from the side, it’s a mysterious obituary.
My sense of time is on my mind, too, but this unfamiliar ceiling is already a familiar face.
What do I need to do to wind the tape back? If I step up, it will degrade
and, as a result, I have visions of a completely unrelated future. Original theory.
Why do I have an impulse to think so admirably, so carefreely?
The worst forecast is rain.
Positive and negative are twisted in the news.
Mentality’s strength is the same as something prepared on a slide.
It’s like… all that I have is a toll, one that I think is better.
I’m fired at once again. I’ll hold on to my pain.

Life is beautiful

Life is beautiful.
That moment, like the blink of an eye, is cruel and futile.
Without the courage to go and meet you, I just look at the sky.
The more days pass, the deeper my roots grow.
I exchange a nod with my lonesome companion.

花は咲くさ 全ての理はイマジン
ひっくり返してしまえるほど薄っぺらい壁らしい
ならやることは一つ 言わなくても理解るだろ?ここが勝負
準備をしようよ 今はどうのこうの騒ぐな 心に死なばもろとも
なけなしのエレメンツ従えて 水と陽の光で生き長らえて
足のつかない深い海でもがく 日夜逃すまいと目を凝らす
チャンスはいつだって僕らを待つ
出会わないパターンならすぐ寝首かく
これは途方に暮れるくらいの悪天候
だけど余裕もって笑えないんじゃ残念賞
何故か空に向かうんだ性懲りなく
答えはいつだって東方にある

The flowers will bloom. All logic is imaginary.
It’s like a wall, so flimsy it can be overturned.
Alright then—there’s only one thing to do. I don’t need to say it, right? This is a contest.
Let’s get ready. Don’t make a racket about this and that now. We’ll go to our graves together.
Subduing the slightest of elements, I live long on water and sunlight.
I writhe in the untrodden deep ocean. I look closely so I’ll never miss it…
Chances are always waiting for us.
If the pattern is for us to not meet, then I’ll cut your head immediately.
This bad weather is enough to bewilder me
but if I can’t take the time to laugh, then I’ve got the booby prize.
I faced the sky for some reason, without being persistent.
The answer is always in the east. (1)

Without the courage to go and meet you, I just look at the sky.
The more days pass, the deeper my roots grow.
I exchange a nod with my lonesome companion.

鉄格子のような鳥かごに囚われて僕らは幾年経ったのだろうか
老化は促進しお互いにシワは増える
合わせる事の出来ない掌は幸せという砂粒を一粒も救えないけれど
震えた指で日記の様に書き綴ったメロディは
柵を越えて山を越えて野を駈けることでしょう
そこに貴方がいるのなら 美しく生きていたい
そう思えるからこの瞬間も 空に歌えるのだろう

tetsugoushi no you na torikago ni torawarete bokura wa ikunen tatta no darou ka

soko ni anata ga iru no nara utsukushiku ikite itai
sou omoeru kara kono shunkan mo sora ni utaeru no darou

I wonder how many years passed while we were imprisoned in this birdcage…
Our aging accelerates, and together our wrinkles increase.
Those hands of ours, which can’t meet, can’t even scoop up a single sand grain of happiness.
This melody, which I wrote like a diary with shaking hands,
Will cross over the fence, over the mountains, and race through the fields.
If you’re there, then I want to live beautifully.
Maybe I can sing at the sky because I can think such things…

愛獣、故 || A Beloved Beast, Therefore

tos019愛獣、故
aijuu, yue
A Beloved Beast, Therefore

Vocals: Tama (たま), AO
Lyrics: AO
Arranged by: Coro
Album: Dreamer×Dreamer 【Official Site】
Circle: TAMAONSEN (魂音泉)
Event: C85
Original Theme: Heian Alien [平安のエイリアン]

Requested by: Petalite Yuu

This track feels like it alternates between the ‘beloved beast’ and their master (presumably Nue). It also makes broader statements regarding human nature, and stuff like that. There’s quite a few references to sex, S&M, and the like, so approach at your own risk!

The title is a bit weird. I initially interpreted it as ‘aijuu, ko’ but (as pointed out by Petalite Yuu) the title can also be romanised as ‘aijuu yue.’ As she notes, this sounds like ‘Houjuu Nue,’ meaning it’s probably the right romanisation! I adopted it and changed my original title translation around a bit too (though Aijuu Yue is also an appropriate title).

未確認　直に訴えかける視覚にShe’s So Lovely
なぶり殺してくれる　首元ガブリ　非情たっぷり
その瞳に捕らえられたら吸い込まれるようなSweety Trap Tip
生き死に気にしギリギリしきりに引き千切り　非力で非営利な性癖のブルース
マゾヒスト御用達　気高き誇りにまみれた高貴な者ほど理性は崩壊
誰の心にでも宿る悪魔と契りは必然　飼い慣らされてる事にも気付かず
欲望に跪くホモサピエンス　餌付けと称して与えられる快楽こそがどつぼ
回されるLike a ろくろ　巻かれちゃうLike a とぐろ

mikakunin jika ni uttae kakeru shikaku ni She’s So Lovely
naburi koroshite kureru kubimoto gaburi hijou tappuri
sono hitomi ni toraeraretara sui komareru you na Sweety Trap Tip
iki shi ni ki ni shi giri giri shikiri ni hikichigiri hiriki de hieiri na seiheki no buruusu
mazohisuto go-youtashi kedakaki hokori ni mamireta kouki na mono hodo risei wa houkai
dare no kokoro ni demo yadoru akuma to chigiri wa hitsuzen kainarasareteru koto nimo kidzukazu
yokubou ni moroku homo sapiensu edzuke to shou shite ataerareru kairaku koso ga dotsubo
mawasareru Like a rokuro makarechau Like a toguro

Unidentified. In person, she draws attention. She’s so lovely.
Torture me to death! I swallow it all up, full of heartlessness.
When I’m caught by her eyes, it’s like I’ve been swallowed up in a sweety trap tip.
I worry about life and death and I tear off at the last minute. The blues is powerless and profitless.
Masochistic purveyors. My reasoning is destroyed as much as the nobility, steeped in pride.
One must make a vow with their inner demon, without realising they’re the one being tamed.
Homo sapiens kneel before lust. The pleasure given to them to tame them is junk.
Circulating, like a pulley. Wound up, like a coil.

時が流れるほど抜けられなくなり　ほんの僅かな隙間こそが命取り

toki ga nagareru hodo nukerarenaku nari hon no wazuka na sukima koso ga inochitori

The more time flows, the harder it is to escape. The smallest gaps are deadly.

どぎまぎする間もなく奪う正気　是非ご賞味あれ
小さな種　いずれは大きな実をつけ花咲く　バベル昇りつめる
濃艶な匂い立つガーデン　靡く血みどろのカーテン
Spell Magic その一言で震わせるカタカタカタカタ
いてもたってもいられなくなる　お仕置き
無尽蔵に唾液をこぼし　コントロールされる徐々に
あとひと撫でされるだけで解き放つというのに
意地悪な笑みで表す愛情…愛獣

dogimagi suru ma mo naku ubau shouki zehi go-shoumi are
chiisana tane izure wa ooki na mi wo tsuke hana saku baberu nobori tsumeru

mujinzou ni daeki wo koboshi kontorooru sareru jojo ni
ato hito nade sareru dake de tokihanatsu to iu noni
ijiwaru na emi de arawasu aijou… aijuu

My sanity is stolen away, and I don’t even have time to panic. Relish it!
A small seed will bear large fruit and bloom, climbing to the top of the Tower of Babel.
The garden is enveloped in a bewitching scent. The gory curtains flutter.
Spell magic. Those words make me tremble. My bones rattle.
I just can’t calm down. Punishment time!
My saliva keeps dripping. Little by little, I’m controlled
Though you say you’ll free me after just one more stroke.
You show love through a malicious smile… “My dear beast.”

解けない縄　普通には戻れないから
肌を這う蝋の足跡　蕩けそうな猿轡
ほらよく御覧　苦痛とは思えないなら
罵る理由の在り処へ誘うの　甘美な罠
Love you more,Love me more
不純のようで宝珠のように煌く愛獣

Love you more,Love me more
fujun no you de houju no you ni kirameku aijuu

This rope can’t be undone, because things can’t return to normal.
Wax marks are on your skin. Your gag’s about to melt…
Come, look! If you don’t see this as pain,
Then I’ll invite you to a place that will make you curse me. My sweet trap.
Love you more, love me more.
My beloved beast shines impurely, like a precious orb…

Sometimes I think it’s so crazy
but I must obey your orders

Get it on 至高の声色　耳元のブレス　何一つ逃さないアイズ
サイケデリックな彩り　眩暈必須のフィロソフィー
もうおねだり　スレイヴ気質のブリキのビギナーにハニーダーリン
はめたり　はめられたり　心理の奥にある本能に問いかけ
生かすも殺すも自分次第 Will never die 傀儡未満のハイプ
コンプのように踏み潰され圧迫感の中　見出す　好意の真価

Get it on shikou no kowairo mimimoto no buresu nani hitotsu nogasanai aizu
saikederikku na irodori memai hissu no firosofii

ikasu mo korosu mo jibun shidai Will never die kairai miman no haipu
konpu no you ni fumitsubusare appakukan no naka midasu koui no shinka

Get it on! I hear her sweet voice and breaths close to my ear. Her eyes miss nothing.
Psychedelic colours. This philosophy requires dizziness.
I’m begging now! To a slavish tin beginner like me, you’re honey, darling.
To do someone or be done by someone? I ask the instincts that rest in my psychology…
Whether you kill me or let me live is up to you. Will never die. The hype of one less than a prostitute.
While feeling crushed by this feeling, like a complex, I discover the true worth of goodwill.

伺うヴィーナス　人相手のスペシャルブリーダー
掌の上でSpend dope time　Rは100あったって足りない

I ask Venus, the special breeder of human partners.
I spend a dope time atop her palm. Even if there’s 100 Rs, it’s not enough.
I crudely lust. There’s no way I’ll obediently come across a feast!
It’s only natural to turn away from my undisciplined ego, urging rebirth.
I don’t even know loyalty. Who’s there? It’s my playmate, whose resolution is long gone.
That itself is fate. Holla back…

muon no shinkai soko shirenai noumitsu na rippu
fumei na jittai hitotoki no seimei no shihai

My predictable doll surpasses obedience. That’s no good!
Flawless absolute territory. Inviolable. (1)
I grasp using pheromones of sacred thought channels.
Things are as they are. Who’s the selfish one?
Two sides of the same coin. Unguarded expressions of love.
A deep ocean of silence. Thick, unfathomable lips.
Unclear reality. Domination of a momentary life.

解けない縄　普通には戻れないから
肌を這う蝋の足跡　蕩けそうな猿轡
ほらよく御覧　苦痛とは思えないなら

(1) ‘Absolute Territory’ (絶対領域 – zettai ryouiki) refers to the stretch of bare skin between a character’s over-knee socks and their shorts/skirt. Nue invokes this concept in her design, which is rare in Touhou.

Original Themes: Flowering Night [フラワリングナイト]

Requested by: Rachel Lee

Update [12/12/2017]: Minor change to chorus [fixing 彼方]

This track’s intimidating because of how long the lyrics are, but it all flows together quite well. There’s one or two sections where single letters are used instead of proper words. my interpretations of these are directly next to them in brackets.

The final line is an extra line that appears in the ‘original’ (non-Touhou) version of this song. Watch the official video here.

(Also, this sounds a lot like Dreamy Noise and I really want to hear Yuu Kanade sing it.)

何故禁断の果実は美味なのか 短い時間で芯まで齧った
悴んだ時間は未だ止まったまま 蟠りは凝固し慢性痛を生む
縦横無尽に体を覆う呪縛
ムーンウォーク 藻掻く程遠ざかる
気持ちの行き場失くした為 泣く泣く認める 文房具
因果律は自業自得と既に答えの出た
自問自答みたいな問答は間違いを招くだけだ ダイヤモンド 砕けた
賑わう街に散り散りばらばらに降り注ぐクリスタル街を彩れば 疼くスティグマータ
疑問が尽きるなら 明日はgood day 夢 夢見よう

naze kindan no kajitsu wa bimi nanoka mijikai jikan de shin made kajitta

Why does forbidden fruit taste so delicious? In just a few short moments, I munched it to the core.
Numb time remains stopped. My worries freeze and deliver chronic pain
Curses freely cover my body.
Moon walk. I get further away the more I struggle.
Because I lost a place for my feelings to go, I cry and cry and write it up with stationery.
The law of cause and effect is karma. That answer has already appeared.
Answering my own questions will only lead to misunderstandings! The diamond crumbled.
When its crystals, scattering down upon the busy town, colour it, the stigmata will throb.
If my doubts have been exhausted, tomorrow will be a good day. I shall dream.

今夢にまで見た夢に手が届きそうだから
難しいこと 全部払拭したいのにあの日の言葉離れない

moufu no naka ni kotae wa nai you na ki wa suru kedo

Now, it looks like my hands can reach the dream within my dream
So though I want to sweep away everything difficult, words from that day won’t go away.
Swaying, swaying… just the two of us. What I want must be over there
Though I feel like an answer won’t come to me in my blanket.

非現実だったら忌わしい敵も居ないし
今は恣意的に遊弋する執行猶予
いつから自ら作り出した方程式の中
盥回してきっとずっと
一方通行 メビウスの輪 ぐるりまわり同じ場所に来る
自己完結出来ないで自家撞着
暗中模索して約束の場所に行く
夢で見たネバーエンディングストーリーは
溜まったレジストリに過ぎない
只の変に都合いい現実逃避
それでも減っていく鉛筆の芯
苦しんで何故生きる？失くしたkey

If this isn’t reality, then unpleasant foes shouldn’t be here.
For now, I cruise about arbitrarily. It’s a stay of execution
Among an equation I once created myself
I hand my problems around. Surely, then,
I’ll end up in the same spot after circling around a one-way Moebius strip.
This is a self-contradiction without self-sufficiency.
Groping around in the dark, I go to that promised place.
The never-ending story I saw in my dream
Is nothing but an accumulated registry.
It’s just a weird, convenient escape from reality
But the lead of my pencil keeps decreasing.
Why live while suffering? I lost the key.
Are the Q(Questions) that float in my mind every morning needless anxiety?
If so…

俺は生意気に生きる
アスファルト蹴る
向かい風を切る

ore wa namaiki ni ikiru

I’ll live brazenly.
I kick off the asphalt
And cut through the headwind.

In this dream, it looks like my hands can reach the dream within my dream.
The Friday night seared into my eyelids is a memory, coloured by me, that I’ll never forget.
Getting wet, getting wet… just the two of us. What I want must be over there
No matter what I do, no matter who I’m with, I will never forget that.

Why live while suffering? I lost the key.
I search for A(Answers) to the Q(Questions) floating in my mind when I wake up.
I’ll live brazenly. I kick off the asphalt
And cut through the headwind. All I need is kill. I cut my finger
But I’m still weak. Still lacking.
This unique chance won’t come again.
I grab some straw, which must be a trap.
I wanna change your mind (my dream won’t come true.)
There aren’t that many lives out there that’ll be rewarded.
People call it karma
But as if I understand that! It can all go to hell!
People don’t always have just one answer.
I’ll live while suffering. I found my key.
I replace the Q(Questions) in my head every morning with U(You).
I’ll live brazenly. I kick off the asphalt
And cut through the headwind. All I need is kill. I cut your finger.

Original Theme: The Traditional Old Man and the Stylish Girl [時代親父とハイカラ少女]

Requested by: Jousuke

The title appears to be written in Hindi. I have absolutely no experience with the language, but it seems to mean something like ‘Candle Any Rhythm’? It’s also possible that it’s a corruption of the phrase ばっちこいリズム (bacchi koi rizumu – I’m Ready! Rhythm) [thanks to Nazohato for the tip!]

Come on—let’s go!
Summer’s time for parties! (e-i) Don’t rest, spin around! (e-i) Be lively! (e-i) Sweat! (Say) Sweat! (Key)
Things are quiet and sunny (e-i) It’s so hot! (e-i) Spin some more and make a rain of sweat fall!

シャイなガールは可愛いけど シャイな男性陣はブサ bad
上がらんなら腹パン 先を見越して
冷静になるより汗ばんだ体で Let’s 担ごう神輿

shai na gaaru wa kawaii kedo shai na danseijin wa busa bad
agaran nara hara pan saki wo mikoshite
reisei ni naru yori asebanda karada de Let’ s katsugou mikoshi

(Matsu)
Shy girls are cute, but shy gangs of guys are ugly and bad.
If you’re not gonna lift, then punch your stomachs. Foresee the future.
Rather than getting calm, let’s carry our portable shrines with sweaty bodies!

（雨天決行）
Wait!! 老体には Respect
如何見たって Misstake これが夏フェス？ ノリわかんない
水分がアルコール 鬱憤晴ら様に発汗回すタオルブンブン
見よう見まね 正気じゃ無え KY 超白けるからウェーイ

Wait!! routai ni wa Respect
dou mitatte Misstake kore ga natsu fesu? nori wakannai
suibun ga arukooru uppunbara you ni hakkan mawasu taoru bunbun
miyou mimane shouki ja nee KY chou shirakeru kara ueei

(Uten Kekkou)
Wait! Show us oldies some respect.
No matter how you look at it, it’s a mistake. This is a Summer Fest? I don’t get it.
The water is alcohol. Venting our anger, we shake our towels and send our sweat all around.
Learning by watching. I’m not sober. KY! I’m so bored, so “booyeah!”

部屋に篭ってたんじゃ雲みたいに 真っ白い
照れてウダウダ言ってる間に夏が終わるぞこっち来い
紫外線混じりの太陽光でも日焼け止め無しでバッチコイ
全裸丸出しでさぁいきまつしょい！

heya ni komotteta nja kumo mitai ni masshiroi
terete udauda itteru ma ni natsu ga owaru zo kocchi koi
shigaisen majiri no taiyoukou demo hiyakedome nashi de bacchi koi
zenra marudashi de saa ikimasshoi!

If you stay locked up in your room, you’ll be as white as the clouds.
While you blush and speak long-windedly, summer will end! Come here!
Though the sunlight has UV rays, we’ll go without sunscreen. Bring it on!
Let’s go, completely nude!

夏は宴（e-i）休まず回せ（e-i）溌剌だぜ（e-1）汗（Say）かけ（Key）

（司芭扶）
Too Hot暑さに交わる台地と太陽、風、雲、爺さん
陽気にパリピで騒げる集団なんならワタシが一番
聞きなこの地からお祭り一家のチカラ
LOWなノリならば老いてくぞ馬鹿

Too Hot atsusa ni majiwaru daichi to taiyou, kaze, kumo, jii-san
youki ni paripi de sawageru shuudan nan nara watashi ga ichiban
kiki na kono ji kara omatsuri ikka no chikara
LOW na nori naraba oiteku zo baka

(Shibafu)
It’s too hot! The earth and the sun, the wind, the clouds, and the old man mix with the heat.
As for the group who makes noise cheerfully as clubbers… I’m number one!
Listen! The power of a festival family flows from the earth.
If your material’s low, then grow older, you idiot!

（Ginryu）
誰が馬鹿か？あからさまな季節に酔い痴れる Rude boy
姿形は Old manでも Mi no like 老年
ブディズム黙示録雲居666オーメン
気負いすらなきまま 追い付かれる心配を殴りや老いさらばえない

dare ga baka ka? akarasama na kisetsu ni yoi shireru Rude boy
sugata katachi wa Old man demo Mi no like rounen
budizumu mokushiroku kumoi 666 oomen
kioi sura naki mama oitsukareru shinpai wo naguri ya oisarabaenai

(Ginryu)
Who’s the idiot? You’re a rude boy, intoxicated by this frank season.
I might look like an old man, but I’m not like an old person.
Buddhism. Revelations. Clouds. 666. Omen.
Without even enthusiasm, I can’t strike the worries that catch up to me, nor can I grow ugly with age.

入道雲が消えてなくなる前に
打ち上げ花火よりも高く燃えよう もうすぐ夏が終わるから
名残り惜しかろうと 今日のこの日だけでいいよ
ハダカになろうぜ

nyuudougumo ga kiete nakunaru mae ni
uchiage hanabi yori mo takaku moeyou mou sugu natsu ga owaru kara
nagori oshikarou to kyou no kono hi dakede ii yo
hadaka ni narou ze

Before the thunderheads disappear,
Let’s burn even higher than the fireworks! After all, summer will be over soon.
Even if we’ll regret parting, things are fine for just today.
Let’s get naked!

部屋に篭ってたんじゃ雲みたいに 真っ白い
照れてウダウダ言ってる間に夏が終わるぞこっち来い
紫外線混じりの太陽光でも日焼け止め無しでバッチコイ
全裸丸出しでさあいきまつしよい！

heya ni komotteta nja kumo mitai ni masshiroi
terete udauda itteru ma ni natsu ga owaru zo kocchi koi

（Ginyu）
今宵音に乗り星を見よう　すれ違い時折恋をして
刹那の綺羅Make it hot　彼方のときめきを

koyoi oto ni nori hoshi wo miyou surechigai tokiori koi wo shite
setsuna no kira Make it hot kanata no tokimeki wo

(Ginyu)
Tonight, let’s ride on sounds and look at the stars. They cross paths and sometimes fall in love.
Momentary, glittering stars make that throbbing over there hot.

（y t r）
スペースアドベンチャー　無限に枝分かれした世界線の出会いと別れ
話の流れの中で並べてる言葉ならそれこそ星の数　奇跡も疑わず
人類が言語を獲得して以降幾度と紡がれてきたセリフは色褪せず
今だけはアナタの為だけにある

supeesu adobenchaa mugen ni edawakareshita sekaisen no deai to wakare
hanashi no nagare no naka de narabeteru kotoba nara sore koso hoshi no kazu kiseki mo utagawazu
jinrui ga gengo wo kakutoku shite ikou ikudo to tsunagarete kita serifu wa iro asezu
ima dake wa anata no tame dake ni aru

(ytr)
Space adventure. The world lines branched out infinitely, meeting and parting
And as for the words lined up during a conversation, there are as many as the stars. Without doubting miracles,
The countless phrases humans spun together since acquiring language do not fade.
But, for now, they exist only for you.

（Ginryu）
Starryそっと寄り添い　繋がる光　見上げれば
煌々の宵　流れる星の横顔に君を重ね

Starry sotto yorisoi tsunagaru hikari miagereba
koukou no yoi nagareru hoshi no yokogao ni kimi wo kasane

(Ginryu)
Starry. Softly snuggling close, the lights are connected. When I look up…
It’s a brilliant night. I imagine your face on top of the shooting stars, seen from the side.

※
今宵音に乗り星を見よう　すれ違い時折恋をして
数え切れないドラマティック　砕け散ろうとも
刹那の綺羅Make it hot　彼方のときめきを
ただアナタに気付かせたい　だから
Fall in love story, Only you
Crazy for you, Pure tribute
(Hey ダンディギダディ乱痴気なし覚えたての色香添えて）
Fall in love story, Only you
Crazy for you, Pure tribute
そこはかとない愛の調べ

koyoi oto ni nori hoshi wo miyou surechigai tokiori koi wo shite
kazoe kirenai doramatikku kudake chirou tomo
setsuna no kira Make it hot kanata no tokimeki wo
tada anata ni kidzukasetai dakara
Fall in love story, Only you
Crazy for you, Pure tribute
(Hey dan digi da di ranchiki nashi oboetate no iroka soete)
Fall in love story, Only you
Crazy for you, Pure tribute
sokohaka to nai ai no shirabe

Tonight, let’s ride on sounds and look at the stars. They cross paths and sometimes fall in love.
Countless dramatic moments happen, though they’re smashed up.
Momentary, glittering stars make that throbbing over there hot.
I just want to make you notice me, so…
Fall in love story, only you.
Crazy for you, pure tribute.
(Hey! Dan digi da di! Calmly, I add in the colours I just learned.)
Fall in love story, only you.
Crazy for you, pure tribute.
This melody has a tinge of love…

（Ginryu）
Swing足取りはポーカーフェイスさ
優柔不断なHeartbeat　巻き込むグルーヴ
じっとしてちゃダメさ　普段よりもクール気取って
織姫と彦星のイメージ

Swing ashidori wa pookaa feisu sa
yuujuu fudan na Heartbeat makikomu guruuvu
jitto shite cha dame sa fudan yori mo kuuru kidotte
orihime to hikoboshi no imeeji

(Ginryu)
Swing! Your gait is a poker face.
The groove swallows up your indecisive heartbeats.
You can’t stand still! Act cooler than usual.
This is a mental image of Orihime and Hikoboshi. (1)

（y t r）
天の川の果てにてパラダイムシフト
一目見た瞬間　その澄んだ瞳が全てを満たすんだ
成るように成るだけ　あまつさえ遥か天高く輝くアルファ星になぞらえる
「始まり」と「終わり」は何処と無く儚げで胸の奥を暖めてくれる
静かにそっと見守るデネブも忘れないように…

ama no kawa no hate ni te paradaimu shifuto
hitome mita shunkan sono sunda hitomi ga subete wo mitasu nda
naru you ni naru dake amatsu sae haruka ten takaku kagayaku arufa-sei ni nazoraeru
“hajimari” to “owari” wa doko to naku hakanage de mune no oku wo atatamete kureru
shizuka ni sotto mimamoru denebu mo wasurenai you ni…

(ytr)
A paradigm shift takes place at the edge of the Milky Way.
A single glance from those clear eyes will satisfy everything.
What will be will be. That’s it. Besides, it’s patterned after the Alpha Star, shining high in the sky in the distance.
“The beginning” and “the end” aren’t anywhere. They’re fleeting, and they warm my heart.
Certainly, I hope I will never forget about Deneb, secretly watching over me… (2)

Tonight, let’s ride on sounds and look at the stars. They cross paths and sometimes fall in love.
My feelings for you overflow, because they are still astir.
