Title: DAYS Artist: The QUEEN of PURPLE Lyrics: SATSUKI-UPDATE Composer: SATSUKI-UPDATE
Motegi track! My favorite from the album as a whole, particularly the vocal direction. Trivia: Motegi’s voice is apparently part of the whole ‘woah woah’ chorus (although knowing him, he probably had it mixed pretty low). - Nab

Title: Wake Up Heroine Artist: The QUEEN of PURPLE (lead vocalist: Mimori Matsuri) Lyrics: SATSUKI-UPDATE Composer: Daisuke Kadowaki
I’d like to think the title is alluding to WUG, but it might just be coincidental. - Nab

Title: R.B.E Artist: The QUEEN of PURPLE (lead vocalist: Sakaiya Yumeno) Lyrics: SATSUKI-UPDATE Composer: Masaki Honda
My headcanon is that the title stands for ‘lovely’ (as in all the lovely ladies in Yumeno’s world...?). ‘RaBur... E...’ er. - Nab

Purple... Rain Raze? Definitely came to mind when I saw that title. - Nab

Title: KID BLUE ~Hadaka no Ousama~ Artist: The QUEEN of PURPLE Lyrics: SATSUKI-UPDATE Composer: Shinsuke Ono
裸の王様, or ‘Hadaka no Ousama’, in the title is likely referring to the short tale ‘The Emperor's New Clothes’ - Nab

I've never start it Let them go, it's over Just like a cold flower Rain drops and show me, They take you that honor Show it off, will you
It's already a Good Bye You said, go back home and listen to your MAMA Calling out, then somebody will come you said? You still believe that even now?
You said you picked up a homing missile If you're just making it like a paper decor Then you're just beyond help Get out here "Kid Blue"
I know? You know? Using this body, bitten by what I heard Making faces like they're writing Bad Comments him and them, praying to become viral while inside, nothing more than styrene gun
I've never stopped it Let me go, it's over Just like a nightmare that won't clear away Hate stacks and slowly I'll take you my honor what they said as one-man love
I'm already fed up You said, don't make vulgar faces while dancing in a lame coat Cloudy eyes, saying wanna be loved Till when will you look at dreams?
You said you only pick up machine gun? if you just fire without knowing how many bullets you have You're just beyond saving
That standing out pride built upon a mirage It's a hindrance so throw it away, will you?
You said, don't step on chewing gun Go turn into a naked king you said, you'd get the embarrassment of a lifetime Are you still getting things from someone else?
getting all high and mighty only for that moment if you're laughing with dead eyes one day, somewhere, you'd get huge karma
It's already a Good bye You said, go back and listen to your Mama Calling out, you're loved, you said Are you still believing in that, even now?
You said you pick up a Homing missile if you’re just making it like paper decor then you're beyond help Get out here "KID BLUE"

Translations
Tap on the top!! Top of the rock!!
Smartly making a living under the pressure of everyday virtues you throw around smiles making only the best lies It annoys me
Nothing can snatch this away I also won't look another way Hello what's up dog, honey? On top of the diagonal zap of the beat Don't you feel like being able to smash that head crown
Let me hear it The war cry, that sounds just like thunder Without proof or dependence Your locked up melody
Hey Yo Tomorrow which could never be snatched away We'll bite it, smash it We'll make 'em have it The THUNDERBOLT of real instinct
Tap on the top!! Top of the rock!!
The night-play of gods denying things even if there is nothing in particular Trying around embracing and being embraced [1] It's making me sick
You want to do things without dirtying your hand? You don't wanna have anything troublesome? Hello what's up dog, baby? You barely want to attack those up and above? Don't you feel like punching those stupid faces
Force it down their throat, that one thunderbolt-like attack wandering not knowing what to do, whilst losing your escape This slightly dirty Melody
Hey Yo The incomparable feeling is helplessly turning into a shout The true character that remains cowardly, once again, make it Rock-on
And while you writhe and squirm, Dead!!
Let me hear it, that war cry, that sounds like thunder Without proof or dependence Your real self's Melody
Hey yo Tomorrow which could never be snatched away We'll bite it, smash it We'll make 'em have it Top of the rock "THUNDERBOLT" We won't let go of our goal It has long been decided
Tap on the top!! Top of the rock!!
[1] TL note: this can also mean ‘have sex’, or it can mean your usual innocent hugging. So in another way, while also being literally correct, it may mean "Trying to fuck around and being fucked" with the literal meaning of "fuck".

Title: Natsu no Vidro☆Symphony Artist: 777 Sisters Lyrics: KANABOSHI☆TSUKUMO Composers: Yosuke Kurokawa
‘ビードロ’ (biidoro) in the title is probably referring to this glass toy (’vidro’ meaning glass in Portugese). - Nab

Title: NATSUKAGE Artist: 777 Sisters Lyrics: SATSUKI-UPDATE Composer: Takuya Fujita
Absolutely my favorite 777 song... as a bass guy I especially love the bridge. Really hope this composer works with Motegi again in future. Incidentally, the actual title of the song is “NATSUKAGE ~夏陰~”, and ‘夏陰’ reads as ‘natsukage’ anyway, so it’s one of those things. - Nab

I realized that your voice was getting farther away as you, seemingly dazzled by its bright light, looked in the ever-climbing blue sky’s direction Once again, this season comes It's taking away warmth
Summer comes, by my ears Daydream, the untangling wind berates me, who stands without being able to take the steps to walk
the goodbye left on my right hand still hurts even now I reach out my left hand trying to grasp but without being able to graze it echoed over the shoulder The footsteps of the summer without you
Swaying lights filtering through leaves cicada's sound, just like bubbles without being able to stop the needle, is melting away ice sherbets
Summer comes, the chasing wait leaves, traces are once again, pursuing only me, who is blurred white
If they are summer days that won't come back the second time I closed my eyes and inhaled them deeply so that I don't spill them, so that it won’t overflow, I said it over and over again and again
But the kindness that you gave me patting my head as I pretended to look tough These feelings that I hid are burning my chest just like a summer shadow
I wave my hand to the memories left on my right hand I have many things that I want to hear from you coming up in my head but If I bite them down I am able to walk, tomorrow too The smell of summer that you love
won't fade / I want to meet you
on my right hand is goodbye a word that I couldn't say when I hug it I can play tomorrow too playing the continuation of summer without you
Title: Snowdrop Artist: Nanabana Otome Lyrics: SATSUKI-UPDATE Composers: MICON STUDIO, SATSUKI-UPDATE
Snowdrops are apparently a (very droopy) sort of flower, which does certainly seem to fit the lyrics. Also, this is one of the rare songs where Motegi (well, ‘satsuki-update’) has composing credits! - Nab

It was not any kind of special relationship I would have been happy just looking from afar
I put a bookmark in Sagan's book that I was reading however, somewhere (in me) I'm expecting something
the white primrose flower is confusion Not knowing the cold of melting snow I don't even know what to call this But when I come to, unknowingly my eyes keep catching up to you
It would've been great if my personality were a bright one It would've been great if I could smile like that girl
I'm scared to even pass by you in the corridor but somewhere (in me) I sigh with relief
The sun shines over a new bud it's so bright the blue color fades If it's this kind of feelings, I wouldn't have wanted to know it Once again when I come to, unknowingly water drops are spilling
under a long dark season while being inside the warm soil it managed to be there without me realizing it this shape of mine
the white primrose flower is misery Not knowing the transience of snow I didn't even know what to call this But when I come to, unknowingly surely, I longed for you Looking for you

In the middle of sidewalks lined with sakura trees in their third phase of blossom a confession suddenly spilled out of your mouth Right away looking for the possibility that you're mistaken, I'm such a negative person
What do you want to make a bird that can't fly do? But I'm so embarrassed I can't say things properly
But the flower petals flutter within the spring breeze, this heart is dancing This situation feels like I have been dreaming for a whole winter
And so the flower blooms and blooms At this moment I am a blooming maiden I swayed, whilst still in the form of a small bud
I felt down looking at the reflection in the mirror If I just pull down the mess of my bangs I would have closed off my own self, thinking it'd be okay to stay as a filler ‘girl A’
The turn will not come for a flower that can't bloom but I felt so envious but I can't let out any courage
But hey, hey, hey Congratulating you for a love that starts to move, the whole world's flowers are telling me "It's your turn"
So the flower blooms and blooms The flower maiden is budding If I run away at this point, I will remain a bud
I want to try so much to be a girl who always shines Such a bud right now in front of your eyes is starting to open
That's why the flower petals flutter within the spring breeze, this heart is dancing The whole world's flowers right now are pushing on my back
So the flower blooms and blooms right now I am a blooming maiden One day I will become a flower that blooms with smile and then I will become a flower that blooms in you

Chapter 7. The Queen of Purple
In the morning by Viva Donuts, Matsuri was standing with a set of donuts in hand, looking for empty seats; but, at such a time with people eating breakfast before work the cafe was extremely crowded, and it did not seem like there would be any seats left. Just as she considered asking for her donuts to be wrapped up as takeaway, a voice called out to Matsuri. It turned out to be Shihainin; he seemed to have bought a morning set himself. Shihainin explained that he had left for work a bit early, so he was having his breakfast there even if he usually did not. This was more or less the same for Matsuri, who had just come from Murasaki’s place.
Matsuri had woken up earlier on a foreign bed, looking up at a ceiling she did not recognize, surrounded by a nice warm scent all over her—basically, this was Murasaki’s room and bed, and Murasaki was sleeping in a futon on the floor beside the bed. After Matsuri had passed out at the bar, Murasaki hauled her all the way to the bed. The family had also let her use the shower, bought her new underwear, cooked her good food… Matsuri felt that the two of them were way too kind, since both Murasaki and Kon only said, “just come back again then,” for the repayment.
When Matsuri sighed, Shihainin asked her if anything was up, to which Matsuri spent a moment thinking. Shihainin was a very busy person, taking care of so many girls, and without him the agency wouldn’t run. If anything, Matsuri would like to try taking care of things herself before turning to him, as she felt he was busy enough as is. As someone who could not help but care for others, Shihainin would surely worry and go all out of his way for them if Matsuri shared her problems. Answering rather vaguely, Matsuri said that, she was just feeling like she was not being an adult.

The QUEEN of PURPLE novel Chapter 6 summary
Apologies for the long gap since the previous chapter. The next (final one) will be up shortly. - Nab
Chapter 6. All We Wanna Do Is Walk Together
Yumeno couldn’t remember the last time she cried. As she sat alone in a city bus, she thought that ‘crying is an irrelevant thing to do in the face of problems’ and yet, earlier today she had cried like never before. As she held in her hand Matsuri’s blue handkerchief, Yumeno wondered how she could face her. Matsuri had stayed with her until she stopped crying.
“Don’t worry about it,” Matsuri had said to Yumeno in the gentlest voice she had ever heard from her.
Of course, Yumeno did worry. However, her embarrassment was beside the point because the main point was the two other members currently in a fight. In Yumeno’s head, given just how socially awkward both Murasaki and Ferb were, the more she considered the situation the more she did not know what to do, with all her thoughts just leading back to square one. In her heart though, Yumeno knew that leaving it all on someone else, or just letting Matsuri do everything, was not the right approach; she should do something about it, or at least that was what she always did whenever someone around her had a fight.
Deep in thought, Yumeno only came to her senses again when the bus driver told her the bus had arrived at the last stop, a place that Yumeno did not recognize. Rather than waiting 30 minutes for another bus, Yumeno decided to just walk home, taking an hour according to her map. With her habit of walking when she was feeling down, it seemed just about right. She made a mental note to wear her glasses when reaching home so that her parents would not see her teary face and ask her what happened. At that time, Yumeno smiled sadly as she reflected on how she was just like her parents.
The next day, Yumeno left for Nanasis right after school, while hoisting her guitar. She checked how she looked in almost every window, the toilet mirror, to make sure she looked fine (she did not). There was a chance that Matsuri, or maybe Ferb or Murasaki might be in the office, so she would try to arrive first.
When she reached the office, her greetings were not as hype as usual. Shihainin came out, smiling, and said, “As expected of Yumeno.” As it turned out, Momoka was sleeping by the sofa, and Shihainin had taken Yumeno’s less energetic greetings as her knowing that Momoka was asleep even before she opened the door. Although she of course had no such sixth sense, Yumeno decided just to go with the flow.
Shihainin then asked Yumeno if she had forgotten her camera; usually, Yumeno would have just started snapping photos here and there at the sight of a sleeping Momoka. Yumeno just answered that she had. Shihainin seemed to leave it at that and excused himself for a meeting. Yumeno realized that Matsuri must not have told him what happened. It seemed no one had decided to ask him for suggestions and Yumeno assumed that Matsuri perhaps had something in mind. Being the oldest, Matsuri may have felt a bigger responsibility and likely was the one most anxious about the band. Yumeno realized that she had been selfish with Matsuri. By her crying, she had robbed Matsuri’s chance to express her own feelings on the situation, since she had to be there to console her crying friend. Just staying in the office would not make it all better, and so Yumeno left the office quietly, so as not to wake Momoka up.

Translations
The thing that I want so much, that I want to destroy are wings made out of unbreakable threads
To wish upon the unreachable sky is only a sound of unending darkness
Defile it, pollute it, this ever beautiful world Burn it, torch it, so that it can no longer be seen
I don't mind, for these tears I have spilled turn into ash Burn its entirety So that none of this form is left do it more, and more
Using these charred, burned wings I'll turn into a butterfly of hatred I can no longer see I prayed forever like this without opening my eyes
I laughed at how vermillion suits me I was only looking at a dream of existing together with you
Not wanting to forget, I wished upon the sky Time has long passed from that day
Why, why if only you were there in transient world I wouldn't have needed anything
I burn and arise beautifully as much as the tears that overflow please hug me so that I won't run away anymore
This one feather that once stabbed my heart I left it on you Even small birds will be unable to sing in a world of snow-like ash
I can't see the blue sky I already hate this place If wanting to meet you is but a dream
I don't even mind for even these overflowing tears burn out Dissolve entirely I don't need this form anymore so do it more, and more
By using the last remaining feather lets say goodbye to hatred It'd be good if these fluttering feathers reach you Or so I prayed
