エンブレム - ATOLS

Long time no post, folks! I doubt anyone still checks this blog for new translations but I have seen my old ones used over the years even on the English NND for translation via video comments (properly attributed or not). I haven't been actively studying Japanese but as was tradition years ago, I got an ATOLS song stuck in my head and felt the need to translate it.

I don't see myself translating songs on a regular basis like I did back in high school, but I hope that this translation 1) does the song justice and 2) shows how my understanding of the Japanese language and how other translators operate has changed over the years. I did take pride in my more active years and enjoyed those times when composers would reply to my tweets in thanks for the translation.

If you would like to keep up with me, I am on Tumblr as fleurite!

Emblem

 

In the darkness unbeknownst to anybody,

I shall grant unto you a single wish.

At a banquet of prayers unending
and shut away.
Keep it down, the fire shall be lit.
That sacred flame that sears into your mind.
 

In the darkness unbeknownst to anybody,
I shall grant unto you a single wish.
On the world stage forgotten by everybody,
I shall gently nestle close to you and see you off.

At a banquet of curses unending
and fires set,
Silhouettes swirl about as the recompense
Floats into the night sky.

Pass it around,
Pass it out, pass it out, piece it out-out,
All the riches up in the air.
Entrust them to me, entrust your dreams.
The legend shall continue.

Pass it around, pass it out, piece it out-out,
All the riches up in the air.
Bodhidharma has fallen down.
“It” is nowhere to be seen.

 

If you are an angel cracked and sullied,

I shall bestow upon you a single wing.

If you are a mermaid immobile and drowned,

I shall engulf you and leave no backwater.

 

At a banquet of prayers unending

and shut away.

Keep it down, the fire shall be lit. 

That sacred flame that sears into your mind.

Pass it around,

Pass it out, pass it out, piece it out-out.

All the riches up in the air.

Entrust them to me, entrust your dreams.

The legend shall continue.
 

Pass it around, pass it out, piece it out-out,

All the riches up in the air.

Bodhidharma has fallen down. 

“It” is nowhere to be seen.
 

Come gather around, shall we dance to a waltz?

Come gather around, shall we dance to a rondo? 

Come gather around, shall we make a puzzle ring?
 

Come gather around, beseech the gods.

drop pop candy

I won't raise my umbrella even with the rainfall.
(A cat meows a how-do-you-do.)
I'll get my favorite high heels wet.

The everyday that seems nonchalant now - lookit -
Is dyed indigo blue saying it wants to change.
A one-second span reflected in a puddle.
I only want to try seeing it once with these eyes.

I dance.
The world
Sways and
It spins!
I get through.
Speed it up.

I wanna break into a run, soaring all the way to tomorrow.
Though I wouldn't be there for yesterday's boyfriend nor the morning glow,
I'm fine with that.

I'm going on forever.
I'm advancing surely.
I love them more!
The days, you--
I rise and fall sooner,
Get up a number of times,
And I'm able to think about today again
With you by doing that.


The drops from the girlfriend that go along her cheeks
(The cat meows, turning a blind eye.)
sink with her head hung. She ranked her boredom.

Even with lies that were spun out of kindness,
Even with truths that were colored by sadness,
It's like I gently trace with my fingertips the abyss
Of raindrops that rustles in the puddle.

I draw,
I play,
And a glimmering
Wish
Comes true!
I get through.
Raise it up.

I wanna run right on through, soaring all the way to space.
Though I wouldn't be able to meet the floating stars nor the moon,
I'm fine with that.

I'm going on forever.
I'm advancing surely.
I love them more!
The days and you--
I cower sooner,
And sob a number of times,
And I'm able to go around with today again
With you by doing that.


Shine on me, blue moon.
I already woke up from my long dream.
Say you'll take me in tomorrow's direction!
Speed it up.

I wanna break into a run, soaring all the way to tomorrow.
Though I wouldn't be there for yesterday's boyfriend nor the morning glow,
I'm fine with that.

I'm going on forever.
I'm advancing surely.
I love them more!
Both the days and you--
I rise and fall sooner,
Get up a number of times,
And I'm able to go around again today too
With you by doing that.

I'm thinking with you,
Forever here on out.

Toeto

I like who you are.
That is a lie.
Though, the truth is--
Mmmmm~.

I hate who you are.
That is a lie.
But the truth is--
Mmmmm~.

I can't be honest.
I don't have enough courage,
And I just lie a lot,
Wearing a cat hat.

Before I know it,
They're within me.
Eh, um, eh, hey.
Eh-Toeto.

Bad at conveying important things, is Toeto.
Mild-mannered and a shy person, is Toeto.
They're hiding.

Though I want to convey my true feelings,
Toeto bashfully rejects that.
When I'd say it when it counts, when I'd say it at the last minute,
Eh, um, eh, um, uh, eh, uh, eh-Toeto.

Face bright red, is Toeto.
Eh, um, eht cetera.

I'm sorry - shedding tears--
It's my fault, says Toeto.

It's not like that. Don't cry, Toeto.
I really like that kind of you.

Though I want to convey my true feelings,
Toeto bashfully rejects that.
When I'd say it when it counts, when I'd say it at the last minute,
Eh, um, eh, um, uh, eh, uh, eh-Toeto.

When I'll truly, truly convey them,

Toeto will bashfully show some courage, too.

When I'd say it when it counts, when I'd say it at the last minute,

Eh, um, eh, um, uh, eh, doing their best is Toeto.

Within me,

Doing their best is Toeto.

(......That day, I met a goddess.)

Ariadne

I'll steal you away with simple words, see,
In spite of not being happy or anything--
Love is already okay -
Laugh so that you may scorn
I who stretched
Out my hand.


The hours won't stop no matter what I try to do,
And it justifies it and creates scars.
What are the gluttonous times seeking,
And are they increasing a bunch of challenges?

What will satisfy a time of solitude?
Riots, gloom, drugs that are starting to not work.
Although they desire this and that,
Those kinds of hearts are only aching.

I'll steal you away
With simple words, see,
In spite of not being happy or anything--
Love is already okay -
Laugh so that you may scorn
I who stretched
Out my hand.


The light within the underside of the blazing sun starts going mad,
And it's as if it's been stuck to you no matter where you are--
Oh, I'm sick of it - the mutterings spin.
What nth is it again, this heartburn?

That's right, if you take it as a dream,
Then there's nothing to be scared of.
The sweat that flowed
Is losing its dirtied color that was covered with lies.

I overwrite a simple train
Of thought with this hand,
And it'd be like a comedy
If I blotted it out.
I do that
Over and over
And I'm jarring.
Let me hear
Any kind of sound.


The dusk lowering shadows,
The asphalt ahead where you tottered.
Hey, what if there was no tomorrow;
Would I lose my way
Even so, I wonder?

We are entwined with simple words,
Much like Ariadne's threads.
Assuming that I do love and it's somewhere,
You can't undo
That kind of stuff.

Hey,
I overwrite a train
Of thought with this hand,
And it'd be like a comedy if I blotted it out.
I do that over and over and I'm jarring today too.
Let me hear your
Heart-sound (sound).

......That day, I met a goddess.

Ladies First

I wanna be your number one.


One kiss as a prank.
Your mischievous smile.
With my mouth wide open,
I who'd completely frozen.

While it wasn't supposed to be like this--
Hey, how come you've got that kind of look
And are staring at me?
From inside my heart that was sleeping,

The ESSENCE of hot love that oozes out, y'know,
Seems like it isn't lying.

Haven't you noticed already that it's almost like
The gods played a trick on us?
I can be ready for that.

I wanna be your number one.
There are just a smidge more
Walls and the like for us than for the next love over?
Don't let go of my hand you've held, 'kay,
No matter how strong of a head wind the day holds.


It began from that time on.
My first mysterious relationship.
If it's something we couldn't comprehend,
We understand if we've got the same gaze.

Enough lip gloss for two people.
Pink-colored toothbrushes lined up.
It is weird but it's precious,
Since only you are special.

Since today is a ladies day,
Dress up extraordinarily
And let yourself enjoy a couples day, 'kay.

You who gets into a panic around the friends
You unexpectedly passed by, and your vacant right finger.

I wanna be your only one.
You say it just can't be helped,
And your sad face hurts like a sting.
I understand your feelings.
It's getting all the more painful.

I wanna be your number one.
The kisses we exchanged
In the dimly lit room are a secret.
In spite of a love as great as this,
How come I'm crying?

I wanna be your number one.

I wanna be your number one.


Tonight I'll show you my skills.
I'll try opening the refrigerator at dinner time.
Though we can't make anything aside from this kind of thing at all,
I'm happy,
Since you're here.

I wanna be your number one.
Enough for just two people.
Let's share our feelings and time, 'kay.
It is the form of love we chose.
We don't need any rules.

I wanna be your only one.
So that we can be
The cutest couple in the entire world,
I want to shout that I like you a lot.
Someday...
Yup, someday, y'know--

I wanna be your number one.

Good Kid Medicine

Had I totally known, I wouldn't be able to stop.
From being just out of curiosity, it changes into an addiction.
Yummy rice and a warm bed.
The tender smile of the one I like.

A-ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, trickling out--
A-ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha.

It is
Legal.
Even if you look up at the stars,
It's legal.
Even if you feel the seasons,
It's legal.
Though I'm gradually
Getting uneasy--

Ah, with good kid, good kid, good kid medicine,
I forget my dangerous thinking now for a bit,
And in my aimless, aimless, aimless sobriety,
I do want to gaze at the town in the morning glow.


I properly eat my vegetables, too, for my health's sake.
I make my story make up for my untouched tasks.
Good people and bad people both read manga, loaf about--
Finally sleeping, a peaceful sleeping face.

That too is
Legal.
If you only hate them,
It's legal.
If you only get to like them,
It's legal.
And the boundary lines
Are blurring.

Ah, with good, good kid, good kid rhythm,
I adjust the sense of values of my disturbed heart,
And in my carefree, carefree, carefree sobriety,
I do want to leave out the consciousness in my tranquility.


Since I don't know, since I wanna know, since I wanna stop, since I wanna fly,
Since I doubt my MORALS again, I can't be in a good kid state.
There's no magic without dependence, I couldn't stop even if I wanted to--
I wanna die. I wanna live. I wanna do all that I can, and ET CETERA.

A-ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha, trickling out--
A-ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha.

Ah, putting up a good, good kid, good kid pretense,
It's futile after all even if I try to be praised,
And with my misunderstood, misunderstood, misunderstood everything,
It's to throwing the dice again.

Ah, with good kid, good kid, good kid medicine,
I forget my dangerous thinking now for a bit,
And in my aimless, aimless, aimless sobriety,
I do just gaze at the town
In the morning glow and laugh.

A-ha-ha, ha-ha, ha-ha.

Nocturnal

The night has come. Shall I be wrapped in the stillness,
And talk together with you about what kind of dream?
I bind the stars. A bundle of light and light.
I change the dark dark into a deep blue color.

Spin out thoughts and trace them with your words,
So that you can travel through this night.
Ah, even if time passes and this magic is undone,
Yup, I shall be beside you.


The sounds I played. Overlapping them, our parade.
No matter where, so that I can hear you--
Let's turn on a light, the lamp of life now,
So that we won't get lost somehow in the dark of night.

Spin out thoughts and trace them with your words,
So that you can travel through this night.
Ah, even if time passes and this magic is undone,
Yup, I shall be beside you.

Come, let's have the same dream.
Ah, I shall be beside you.


Come, let's go. Take my hand.
Tick away life, star clock.

Come, let's go, together, see,
Even if this night dawns.

Part-Time on Christmas!

For the palms of your hands sensitive to the cold,
Here's some hot chocolate.
Once I turn my chest pocket inside-out, it's to the planetarium, y'know.

Book
A corner in the job magazine.
A secret part-time job for the winter.
Hourly wage of 980 candies.
A red-clothed employer.

Decorate with the star for the tree,
And have an extra-large stocking hanging at your bedside.

Over here, departing at 0:00, the Red-Nose Limited Express.
At the base of Custard Mountain,
It's an invasion of doughnut chimneys!
Merriment to you two with sleeping faces.
You received Christmas cards.
With stealthy footsteps, stealthy steps, soft steps,
The limited express again starts
Traveling to the next place.


While following footsteps on a road adorned with white,
What the-- I wonder if I'm a bit mistaken,
With my upside-down map.

Maple syrup at the biscuit flag.
Red mittens for you who has hands
Sensitive to the cold.

The hands of the clock at 3 and then 4,
I've got enough time for 2 more people to meet my quota--the rest of a dream.

Over here, departing at 0:00, the Red-Nose Limited Express.
Please hold onto the nearest handrail strap.
And, go!
"A project before the morning sun rises."
I finish my tasks, and the final plan
Is a secret, y'know, to everybody.
I give a kiss on the cheek
To the one in red clothes.


I wonder if I've yet to go below Sirius.
I still haven't!?

Over here, departing at 0:00, the Red-Nose Limited Express.
Just a few more moments for the last stop, I beg of you, for the Express.

Over here, departing at 0:00, the Red-Nose Limited Express.
This train enters the garage.
The entraining cannot go on forever,
So it starts traveling like this into the morning glow.

Girl Attempt at Crime

Love and truth that goes around and around
in a shallowly windy town at night.
If I speak up
and take that hand,
I shall invite you,
to the fascinating stage.

My eyes stolen away, I gaze at you.
You still don't know, do you?
Girls have the sweetness of honey.
I shall teach that to you to my heart's content.

We flutter about 'round and 'round akin to love,
I a butterfly,
you a victim.
Coupled together, I jilt you with a pounding heart--
Chase after me,
you deceptive girl.


Swinging her long hair in the dark,
a beautiful maiden who dances and dances.
If it's an attempt at crime,
"the girl" is innocent.
Do let me lose control,
in a world of narcotics.

My heart taken prisoner, I wander around.
You can't run away anymore.
Girls are both lies and virtues.
I shall use you up to my heart's content.

We flutter about back and forth akin to live,
I smiling,
you a victim.
Coupled together, I jilt you with a loud laugh--
Go back to married life,
you deceptive girl.


We flutter about 'round and 'round akin to love,
I a butterfly,

Coupled together, I jilt you with a pounding heart--

The one who colors my world　is me.

It's Me

Tomorrow will come. I can't see ahead.
I struggle and try raising my breath,
and I draw the things I can't say and the things
that hurt, and show them, show them--

Tomorrow will come. I still don't understand.
I get lost and try running out of breath,
and even so I'm still having a dream.
I think of what's ahead that I can't see.


I wasn't able to have something like a guitar,
it's difficult to use a keyboard,
and what's more is I just earnestly devote myself
to the front of the screen. I draw. I draw.

Thinking and plotting out a depressing future,
I tried loading my expectations onto that thing, see,
and went on ahead. That's how it was meant to be.
The times changed me.

I believe too much in the hallucination
of being left behind, forget even up to my feelings,
and believe that I'll be able to grasp something even so, see--

I'm livin'.
I'm livin'.
So as to not be thwarted by agony,
I'm livin'.
I'm livin'.
I've already changed the world; it's over.
I'm cryin'.
I'm cryin'.
I do make sure of my power.
Now, now,
now, now,
I shout.


I can hear the songs I like
even now; my ears, they're vacating them.
Definitely now, the echo of my chest
bursts open, and shakes. It shakes.

I changed the world inside of me.
That one song, the piano, a guitar that reeks of mud,
I'll overcome them. I'm gonna overcome them, see.
I'll make them the color of only me.

Whooooooaaaa


Everything was vibrant,
it was truly vibrant.
The one who colors my world
is me.

Not gonna forget. Not gonna forget,
the emotional movement packed into music.
Not gonna forget. Not gonna forget,
the young feeling of facing things.

I'm cryin'. I'm cryin',
over my rotted away sense of adventure.
Now, now, now, now,
in order to resurrect it by my own hand--

I'm livin'.
I'm livin'.
So as to not be thwarted by agony,
I'm livin'.
I'm livin'.
I've already changed the world; it's over.
I'm cryin'.
I'm cryin'.
I do make sure of my power.
Now, now,
now, now,
I shout.

Now, now, now, now, now......

It is already spring, but it is a winter song.

The Au Lait

I look up
at my airy
white sighs and the clear sky,
extend my numbing hands,
and buy tenderness.


The morning light that
shined on my desk.
I'd pretend to not hear them
even if someone's
voice went off.

Since the sinking town is
stopping the clock
even as I look out the window,
I'll try playing the part of
"my pitiable self".

Milk tea that's
still so warm.
I gently touch my cheeks,
look at the sky,
and hum to myself
a song I pretend to know--
Hey,
am I stupid?
Milk tea.
I wanna
be living a lot better.
Though,
I'm being left behind
in spite of that.


Sharp gazes
and words on my back,
I listen to someone's song,
and a lone one
pretends
to
like it.

Since both normal things
and the things I don't know
overflow and spill,
I'll try destroying
the defective (this kind of) me.

Milk tea that's
lost its warmth.
I gently
put my mouth to it,
and shed tears,
pretending to not notice
my ever jarring chest.
Hey,
am I bitter?
Milk tea.
Though
I myself am surely in the wrong,
but y'know,
since I wanna be smiling
in spite of that, too--


Although the shadows
swaying back and forth
and the empty classroom (room)
give me some tranquility,
I can't sleep...

I'm a little
exhausted.
Milk tea.
I am wounded,
I wound,
and even this self isn't
my ally now.
Hey,
I sure am stupid.
Milk tea.
"Surely a day will come when you can smile,"
or something;
I don't know how long
I can believe that for.

Even so, so as to be able to like everyone,
even so, so as to be able to like myself--

Howdy.

Goodbye, April's Mx. Doppel

I do talk
with "me" every now and then,
though I can't see their figure.

When April's winds blow,
the distance between us gets small,
while that's how it always is.
You were there.

Were we to meet,
which of us would go away?
To have thought they wanted to meet--
Hey, how come? Hey, how come?
"If one of us is the real deal
and one of us is a COUNTERFEIT,
how's I disappear? As if, though."
See ya. Bye-bye.


"When April's winds stop",
my voice gets distant.
The existence of one of us
is a mistake--.

While we didn't have to
be on such good terms,
For it to be no good were we to just meet--
Hey, how come? Hey, how come?
"One of us is the real deal,
and it shouldn't be that one of us
is COUNTERFEIT. That's right.
See ya. Bye-bye."


So as to walk and avoid crowds,
the me who's been living like they were drifting.
If that's the reason for the only one
of that kind of me to live, they already--
"I don't need anything else."
"I can go on living if I have even that."
It isn't like that, that kind of glossing over it.
Don't you go disappearing with me.


Were we to meet,
which of us would go away?
To have thought they wanted to meet--
Hey, how come? Hey, how come?
If one of us is the real deal
and one of us is a COUNTERFEIT,
then I will vanish, so--

Were we to meet,
we'd become one and overlap.
Yesterday when I thought I wanted to vanish--
Hey, what happened? Hey, what happened?
If one of us is still me
and one of us is cherry blossoms,
I wonder if we could meet someday. As if, though.
See ya. Bye-bye.

A certain ascendancy and angels, was that fiction or reality?

Astral Domination

Ah,
within the
purple-colored light
sways a UFO.
Dreams are awakening.
The demise reflected in my eyes
at half past five in the morning.
You're a UFO.
Is that normal?

So merciless it's astounding.
Inorganic hearts.
They dive into the dark.

Within sound,
I soar away
and shake the cosmos.
The inside of my head is
translucent.
Countless civilizations (stars)
that are vanishing
with no way to achieve.
The confusion it creates.
See if you can stop it.


I hid you.
I hid you somewhere,
in hope that you wouldn't drown in the sea of my memory.
I searched for you.
I forgot myself.
Even I'm an alien, see.
The promise vanished.

I hid you. I forgot you.
Your appearance in history
is
an
illusion
that I created--


Stabbing at shining lines,
I peer into secrets.
With gaze-sensing telepathy,
your words etch into my ears.
A program that challenges
and risks hurting bodies.
Grey sensations. Collapse error.
Beginning to fall into disarray,
the rhythm of purpose.

Within the crumbling town,
I looked upside-down.
The time of the end
is upon this earth (planet)--
A place of promise that can't be ended
nor permitted.
Let's make it end now.


That world that I saw through a sidelong glance
is so blue it's miraculous,
      (When I can see love,)
and those wings that I spilled
are like those angels' that I once heard of.
      (I will change.)

Now,
if this hand gets through,
I bet I'll vanish.
I bet I'll vanish along with that
that hand of yours in the cosmos.
Although the future we want to see isn't there,
only the memories we want to kill
expand in the narrow cosmos,
and are the bursting
Astral Domination.

The Showa era will continue, no matter where.
It is something of a love song.

You are Such Garbage

You are such garbage.

Having been forced by you in the end
to make a promise you can't keep,
this is the way things are.

Wait just a little more.
To be tricked by those kind of words;
just when the heck will they come true?
It's truly useless.

Being made to wait so much, and this is it.
It's something, a thing I've heard of somewhere.
I'm rapidly losing sight of something.
You are such garbage.

Sorry, I can't go. (*_ _)人

Hot Spring Trip


There's no reason to be able to want
to be like this all the time, is there?
It's already like this a lot.

Misunderstanding is one thing,
what with all those kind of good conditions.
Don't act like a spoiled brat anywhere in any way.
It's truly stupid.

Being made to wait so much, and that's it?
It's something, a LIE I've heard somewhere.
My feelings are rapidly leaving.
You are such garbage.


I don't hate you.
But do listen.
I can't wait forever.
You got that?

Were you to wait so much, it'd be like this for you.
It's something, a feeling of 'I don't care either way'.
Something is rapidly crumbling.
You are such garbage.

That's why I'm being made to wait, and this is it?
It's true, it's a feeling of 'I don't care either way'.
I don't get what it means at all.
You are such garbage.

I'm also such garbage.

Chaining Intention

The water tank that gets rid of my map and loiters.
A panorama that shakes the winter.
Lookit, behind the wall,
the faces of lies that the linoleum stares at.
I'm confused by anagrams, now.
SNOW. WHITE. BLACK. WHO. Me.

In the vacuum (space) that turned over (replaced) the cards,
I drew with a rusted sword.
I don't know the rules to the cipher (code).
Traces of you.
The dusk I shut out with my blanket.
I wrote with a broken pen.
I can't find the words.
SKY. WHITE. BLACK... But--

Standing back to back, the temperature that circulates between.
The sighs of four-leaf clovers. Put color on them.

White shine. Dye the freezing
scenery with warmth.
A definite naked face (thing) that touches an overflowing lake.
Sweet reach. Since our irises (eyes) met
and resonated (synchronized),
your sunny spot
and I, we were here.


Even if the thread on our pinkies is torn apart,
stuff into a bottle the jewels that'll scatter about.

Why feel? Bind my shivering
frame (body) with emotion (feelings),
and be embracing it along with the obstructing darkness.
Wish true. If light can start
shining on even shadows,
the world need not pray.
But, y'know, where will it hurt?


White shine. Dye the freezing
scenery with warmth.
A definite naked face (thing) that touches an overflowing lake.
Sweet reach. Since our irises (eyes) met
and resonated (synchronized),
your sunny spot
and I, we were here.

Sunlight. Let me sleep near
the hours when I start running.
A small spring season that the low voice I use surrounds.
With "if". Since the two of us join hands
and tie them up with a ribbon,
your sunny spot
and I, we were here.

A song of secrets.

Top Secret

As an example, it's a poisonous thing
that's as sweet and fragile as an apple.
What I want to hide is a stupid thing.
Somebody laugh, at this kind of me.

Some small
vanity and
flattery and
deception with words
were joined to me, so therefore
I do just tell lies.

Crying over that sweet, sweet allure
that's like a red, red apple,
Beyond my long, long regrets,
is something there?


The sun and the sea, kisses and the future too;
Must I not imagine them either?
I close my eyes to the enemies I can't see,
and I feel like vomiting when I panic.

Even if I'm beat up once or twice,
I bet I will calmly tell lies again.

If I shade my eyes from a white, white light,
I'll slip into that dark, dark shadow--
The small, small secret being glorified,
will something change?


Clad in red, red lies,
my faint, faint tears float again--
Even if I shoulder the deep, deep drawbacks,
I can't stop it.

Although it's nothing I loved and nothing I opposed,
catching all the things I just got my hands on and the things I set my eyes on,
even if I'm wounded and wounded with all kinds of lies,
I'll protect what I'll protect.


What I want to protect is a precious thing.
Even if someone laughs, I will protect it to the end.

Coward Montblanc

With all of the thoughts I have
in the words of this alone:
Though I loved, it was heavy.
Is that all it ever was?

Who was the one who loved, again?
The hours to THAT degree
vanished, and they went invisible,
while we were still supposed to be touching.

A vanishing reflection
if I totally forget about it.

I can't think that it's fine
even if it's the truth.
I'm still a scaredy-cat.
A meeting to make a contract.
I am again
falling into you.

Anesthetize me.
My burning inner voice (privacy).

It's fine even if it's true.
I can't go back.
I'm getting scared again.
Montblanc is so sweet.
While barefoot,
I want to drown in that sweetness.


Thought-sky (that's right), you're here.
Natural selection is vanishing.
I can't convey it
to you anymore.

"It'd be nice if you died,
right now."

I can't think that it's fine
even if it's the truth.
I'm still a scaredy-cat.
A meeting to make a contract.
I am again
falling into you.

While thinking that it's fine
even if it's true,
wishing, "May it be a lie,"
is the result that played out
since I am still
a coward montblanc.
That's why.


You're coming in.
It's done repeating.
I gasp for you
to answer to that.

Upon the stage, she opened her mouth wide.

Theatric Telepsychola

The light of the lamps that sway and slant.
This place is a fairy-tale world, see.
I'm clicking with my heels and dancing.
I forgot it in your hand.

Apple in one hand, the wolf.
"Were you the one who dropped it?" ask they.
I failed to endure the swaying world
and I fell like dead leaves.

FALLING.
My eyes are blinded, and I'm standing still.
AMAZING.
There isn't even one person in the audience.


The red thread connected to my pinky.
Tangled in telephone lines, I can't undo it.
I swallowed down one of my lines
that got caught in my throat on its way out.

Be a shadow picture.
Be a doll.
Dance and dance.
Spit out words.
Get the pistol.
Get the pistol.
Shoot out the world.

FALLING.
It's like those lips just won't spit it out.
AMAZING.
I ignored everything and I kissed it.


Un, deux, xi, la...


FALLING.
The world sways. It's slanting.
AMAZING.
"Can you remember
your last lines?"

FALLING.
My eyes are blinded, and I'm standing still.
AMAZING.
There's only you alone in the audience.


"And with that, I bid you all farewell."
Upon the stage, she smiled
and thrust the gun at her head.

"Lie some more..."

The Liar's Town

The sound of falling rain.
I collected the smoke too
that soaked the letter
from you, and I erased it.

A gap in a novel
holding a bookmark,
moving cells.
I'd be indifferent if they started swimming.

Count the days off your fingers
till the day you come to smile.
Look up at tomorrow's sky--lookit,
toward that town where you were.

Rain drops. They burst, and vanishing,
they return to the soil.
I want to pair up
with a mysterious RABBIT and dance, see.

"La la la, lie some more..."


Mornings when rain falls.
I collect the tears that
soak the letter from you,
and I wipe them away.

Dialogue in the novel.
"You have my thanks."
Turn the key on the tin
that stopped its moving.

Count the days off your fingers
till the day you come to smile.
Look up at tomorrow's sky--lookit,
toward that town where you were.

Rain drops. They burst, and vanishing,
they return to the soil.
I want to pair up
with mysterious words and dance, see.

"So then, lie some more..."

The self that wants to be honest, and the self that by no means can be. It is difficult to convey feelings.

Distorted Princess

"Ugh, I just
HATE you."
——I can't honestly say
something
like that I like you--
"You're nicer to
everyone else, aren't you?"
——If only
all of you was
with only me...

I like you,
I like you,
and while I can't bear it,
why
aren't I
cute
at all?
I can but
tell lies
when I'm
in front of you.
The truth is,
I want to
bewitch you
more cutely!

want
to
shout
to
you...
I'm
loving
you!


"You like
honest girls?
You wanna go?"
——Even I
want to be
honest.
"How come
you're always
so mad?"
——There is no
helping it!
I can't hold it back!
"Ugh, you're so annoying...
Go
away."
——I'm sorry,
that's a lie.
Don't go anywhere.
"It's written
all over your face!?
Ugh,
I hate you!!"
——The truth is,
no one else...

"What’s so good
about that girl?"
——Don’t look at her,
look
at me.
"You look stupid talking
so shallowly."
——Don’t look
at that girl
with those eyes…

Even I
want
to be
cute.
But
I can't be
honest
at any rate--
I really
like
your
cute smile.
Show that
kind of face
to me
only.
