Your softly kissed lip's (Dancing heart) trembling is sweet too (Yes, dancing heart) A deep trip into the continuation (Dancing heart) Many times, my favorite

There were never any rules Just taking I won't restrain my love and dreams I won't part with you

Romantically Dramatically Feel my love down to the tips of your toes

Breaking through See, times are changing Just now, in this very moment Breaking through The reason can come later Tonight, it's forbidden practice This is punishment... You made me take it seriously A dream that surpasses all The dice are cast

When we're reflected in the glass (Dancing heart) I can become bold (Yes, dancing heart) Cloud it with your breath Trace a message

I throw the dice onto the table I'll grant the number of wishes of the eyes that come up What do you search for?

How would you like to wish to shine No. 1? Honey

Breaking through My chest got dangerously hot Ignited for you Breaking through In the finest scenery To your sleeping, unpainted face, I softly tell you... my song of my vows A special dream you've never seen before The dice are cast

Ready Set Go With you

Beneath the dazzling stardust meet my eyes I want to whisper in your ear That I will love you for eternity

Exotically Fantastically Now... let's come together and melt into each other

Breaking through See, times are changing Just now, in this very moment Breaking through The reason can come later Tonight, it's forbidden practice This is punishment... You made me take it seriously A dream that surpasses all The dice are cast

Translated Title: A World Without Gravity Translation and romanization by yours truly as always

English

Let's dive into the zero gravity Walking on both feet feeling like they've left the ground When you turn a new leaf, then your thoughts speed up These days, I notice the things I wouldn't if I were just staring down at the ground beneath me There's a chance to hit or miss Even the desperate struggle is love's lashing The faith to break through the facade is an unbeatable feeling It's wonderfully invincible the impenetrable laws of physics are no problem "The time is here" Ready... Set... GO! I dive into a world without gravity I just want to shout out my conflicts I'm on the verge of a black and white moment I can't reach, still can't hear My willful soul feels like it's going to burn If your fate feels like it has no worth The courage to jump ship is wisdom, too UP DOWN Being a thorough nuisance Often not caring about easy jobs At every turn, there's a heavy wall A dream of smashing them comes to mind What are you doing here? I'll take you with me by force I don't feel the gravity The things in my way don't exist anywhere anymore Let's dive into ZERO with me The things blocking my way extraordinarily BREAK I dive into a world without gravity I just want to shout out my conflicts I'm on the verge of a black and white moment I can't reach, still can't hear This radiant illumination that crossed gravity prompts a scintillated* blackout Is the vibration in this sound shaking the vacuum tube there to save someone? My willful soul feels like it's going to burn (* scintillation - a flash of light produced in certain materials when they absorb ionizing radiation)

I like the way Ryouma seems to sing "hageshikyu."

Italics (dammit tumblr, no underline!?) means the second party tagged for that line is singing. I hate translating line-by-line, but I did so in certain parts to keep the character/group dynamic accurate. Excuse the awkwardness of those lines.

English Shinsaku) Stimulating the depths of my mind directly A passion is traveling in; What's this? Katsura) A truth I've never experienced is no doubt burning up Ryouma) Run Shinsaku) Stop Katsura) Get lost Ryouma) and crackling sparks fly Shinsaku) Release your power along with the soul of sound in my voice Ryouma) Lightning just rolls along in flickering flashes Stick to a single principle that can't be twisted Shinsaku) Roaring, this thunder presents a unique opportunity Come up with an area nobody's stepped foot in Katsura) Hear my extraordinary soul Ryouma) Slowly, fiercely, reality spreads out My pulse is on emergency alert Shinsaku) Touch Katsura) Realize Ryouma) Fuss Shinsaku) and your heartbeat bursts through Katsura) My body won't freely keep up with my temperature Shinsaku) Lightning rolls again in flickering flashes Stick to a single principle that can't be twisted Katsura) Swelling, this thunder is a sign boiling over If it gave you expectations, go exceed the limit! Ryouma) The strength to go face what I can't see Shinsaku) I feel like I've come to know it all over again Katsura) I understand it, distinctly All) We share a destiny Ryouma) This is it! Shinsaku) This is it! Katsura) This is it!

A musical journey of trying to get a couple of tsunderes on your side. I feel for ya, Ryouma.

English

Ryouma) Won't you feel rock's tremendous power with me? Hijikata) Stop saying self-indulgent things, I have no interest in such things Ryouma) What do you think? Isn't it nice to have pure fun? Okita) Don't speak to me in such a familiar manner Hijikata) The core is something that pierces Ryouma) The heart is something that changes Okita) While the truth is something that's already here Ryouma) I should live in the world wide, slip out of these aching binds into a wide open tomorrow Feel a power you've never experienced All) Points and lines INTERSECT Ryouma) Won't you try opening up that heart you've closed off soon? Okita) If you're lead to that conclusion, let me see you writhe Ryouma) If all you do is endure, your life's gonna be boring Hijikata) Impermissible conflicts overflow Okita) The truth doesn't waver Hijikata) The core is here Ryouma) Without lying to your heart, take my hand Hijikata) I just continue righteously, because I can't go corrupt Carving my aspirations deep in my chest Okita) This unstoppable impulse feels like it'll explode All) Points and lines INTERSECT Ryouma) When you believe, you open up Okita) May I believe? Hijikata) Is there nothing left to do but believe in this tone? Ryouma) I should live in the world wide, slip out of these aching binds into a wide open tomorrow Hijikata) I just continue righteously, because I can't go corrupt Carving my aspirations into my chest Okita) This unstoppable impulse feels like it'll explode It presses with no room for doubt Ryouma) Believe in a power you've never experienced All) Points and lines INTERSECT

English

Under the starlight, let's find our love. Super lovers, you and I, oh baby! Ca) Aromas rise seasonally Why does it seem like time always flies by? Ra) Kisses gain a deeper meaning But when I'm with you, I'm burnin' inside. Re) Unsatisfied, I whispered calls of love I do not ever wanna leave your side. Ai) I'll take you away from this confined reality Even at a distance where I'll see you soon my feelings always intensify Endlessly Ah... surging Tonight too, we'll have a fantastic marriage Let's skip to the crescent moon to use as our chair We'll make our future, and our dreams from here on Ra) a story we can't exhaust In the radiance beneath the starry sky Ai) Our song Re) we will pour slowly into love's glass Ca) make even God envy Our dream Ca) The scenery dims to sepia The world in my eyes, everything was gray. Ra) In those too-boring days Nothing was special, just the same dull days. Re) Only you guide me without hesitation I need you with me. I need you to stay. Ai) With sincerity more pure than an angel's What do you think? What can I do? When I notice, my heartbeat races I don't want to be apart... I won't be apart from you I vow in my heart an eternal marriage In this world that's changing colors, let's make the fated carol of everlasting love ring out Ra) Releasing the way we feel Embrace today which won't return Ai) Let me paint, Dearest Re) Your dreams, even your love, everything about you Ca) I want to share with you Our wish Under the starlight, let's find our love.

Romaji

This is such a weird song! Up until that formulaic solo time. Like "oh, that part's cool - wait, where's it going?" I want to say his art is the best, but the coloring on his left eye makes him look a little drunk... And it looks like they added a few strands of hair on an already finished work or something.

English

Dazzlingly shining light is reflected through stained glass Among the various colors I find my own color I'd been searching for I shall cast aside my noble titles, my past, my present, and everything So follow destiny through with me My budding desires left me wandering in a daze I sincerely want to sing my aloof songs in the future I shall give my entire self to you So entrust your love to me I shall pledge a dream which won't fade in a hundred years to the tomorrow which won't come again That is my pure Aspiration There are as many dramatic lines as there are stars But without saying such foolish words I want you to come to trust me Limited words do not suit "these feelings" These overlapping fevers are the truth My heart stirred My eyes took you in For the only time in my life I fall to my knees in love I shall give my sacred decision to you So entrust your lips to me Your sinfully beautiful eyes are lovelier than any galaxy Recieve my pure Aspiration I shall give my entire self to you So entrust your love to me I shall transform into a brand new, ordinary man And let us melt together in the morning glow This tale is my pure Aspiration

Romaji

English

The sunset spread out was so pretty

"At what percent will this will become love?" I can't express what's in my heart on a graph

The rooftop is fading into dusk, the purple wind stirs Our joined hands are warm

I gently brushed away your fluttering hair and drew closer My heart is becoming greedy

"Am I reaching her?" My chest tightens Although I can touch you at this distance

No matter how many thousands of words there are It's just this feeling that I cannot express

There are no answers but to ask you But sorry I keep kissing you more If I don't, I get nervous

I don't really like my own name Look, if you put "A" and "I" together, what does it become?

But somehow, you say with an extraordinary smile It means love

Memories called happiness are filling me up I'll cherish the present

Because your warmth, this softly sunny spot is the sweet place I come home to

From here on, we will fight at times, too as we go through the days chasing our dreams one step at a time

At the intersection home, before waving beneath the sinking sunset once more... let's kiss

I want to verify that "love" you speak of

The campus, where the music sheets have turned pure white, is slowly, slowly filled with memories (melodies)

The tones of each and every note pairing with great care will resound

No matter how many thousands of words there are It's just this feeling that I could not express

But that one character you taught me about sketched out that moment with you and eternity and saved me

I love you... I love you

"Changing color like a song": in Japanese, "color" is used for tone as well. "The world we spun together": spun together like joining pieces to create the world, not as in an activity that they were both present for - slight ambiguity there.

Futari no Monoguramu (Our Monogram)

English

Two monograms become one What kind of shape would we take? It's absurd, but somehow I always end up drawing such childish things

The link between theoretical hearts is a very difficult paradox I never used to understand But now, I feel like I understand it

The moment we gazed at one another, the future burst open No matter how long it takes, let's keep aiming to speed straight into the sky

Shall we pile our dreams into one? I'm taking you with me I swear on my life, wherever that may be I can swear it because I'm confident I can grant your every desire

Like a tender kiss, I'll tell you I want to hold you gently Twilight dream

If there's something you don't understand whatever it is, I'll educate you I'm looking for a puzzle piece of the unknown I want to mold it to your heart

I don't want to look like a child I want to protect you instead of being protected Question me back on love's timing Isn't it better the faster it is?

The world we spun together is opening up It's such a beautiful harmony Look, the future is waiting

For you, I swear on my life I can show you the person no one ever sees This world, which used to be monaural is now changing color like a song

You probably need me Take my hand so tightly

Just love you, just love you You can hear it, can't you? My love song

Shall we pile our dreams into one? I'm taking you with me I swear on my life, wherever that may be I can swear it because I'm confident I can grant your every desire

Like a tender kiss, I'll tell you I want to hold you gently Twilight dream

Reiji Kotobuki

Gentle Request

Japanese: 声を聞かせて Romaji: koe wo kikasete English: Let me hear your voice

koe – voice wo – direct action indicator (> to <) kikaseru – to let (someone) hear (something)

This is the friendly kind of request. “Hey, no pressure, just come on.” It’s also moderately polite; you can tack on a –kudasai to that –te and magically, polite speak! The monster we’re tackling here is the “te” (kikaseru>kikasete) form. I struggled with this a lot when I started translating stuff and I’ve noticed others tend to struggle here too. The “te” form has two purposes: to link two ideas or sentences conjunction-junction style and as a soft request. You can bet it’s the latter if the following sentence fragment (let’s face it, all Japanese looks like is fragments to a beginner) doesn’t have anything to do with the sentence in question.

Ranmaru Kurosaki

Harsh Order

Japanese: 背伸びをしろよ Romaji: senobi wo shiro yo English: Get on your tip-toes!

senobi – tip-toes wo – (again) direct action indicator (> to <) suru – to do (dictionary form of shiro) yo – some sentence flavor. Can be similar to the exclamation point.

Getting into less friendly territory here. Now we’re using imperative language. Unless you’re a rough-talkin’ anime dude or someone who can issue orders freely, probably not something to use a ton if you don’t want to sound like a jerk. Note that “shiro” is not quite the norm: take an average verb like “hashiru” (to run) and it becomes “hashire”. But take a phrase like “Do what you want(grumpy)” and it can be “suki ni shiro”.

Well, if you hadn’t picked up on what this song was about…

Ai Mikaze

Polite-ish Demand

Japanese: 跪きなよ Romaji: hizamazukinayo English: Kneel to me (alternatively: get on your knees)

hizamazuku – to kneel (it even has the word for knee: hiza)

Well, this one’s a bit of a toughie. –nasai is a more polite-style demand that’s pretty direct. Think bossy wife: she’s not going to speak like some uncouth person, but she’s still going to make demands and she means it, mister. But another way to say the –nasai form demand is –na or –nayo, which is more colloquial sounding (common tongue). And there’s what this is. The more colloquial version is not to be confused with the very informal way of telling someone not to do something, which is (dictionary form verb)+na. e.g. hizamazuku na! Don’t kneel! What the hell is wrong with you!? I’m not a prophet!!

Camus didn’t do anything of note here, so he got left out. Darn. Perhaps next time.

Christmas Étranger (Christmas Stranger)

When our eyes met, I made my move I was planning on having you Just for the night So many girlfriends; there's nobody in my room

We've been apart so long I bet you're forgetting me about now Woman are awakening jewels you've got to watch and kiss

I have so many loves Even when I try to show off how cool I am Suddenly, the night wind blows into my heart Men are naive little lambs who get lost

Tonight, all the women walking down the pavement look like you Words like love have cheated me That's God's joke

Sparse powdery snow dances down in my memories Though I decide on what spoils to aim for I can't steal her heart away

Romaji

nihaime no matiini mo hitori da to nigai ne mado no soto wa hikaru matenrou sekaijuu ooki na Christmas Tree

me ga aeba kudoite moteteita tsumori sa konya dake ni kagitte So Many Girl Friends dare mo heya ni inai yo

tooku hanareteru kimi nara boku wo wasureru koro onna to wa mitsumete kiss shitenakya sameteyuku houseki

koi wa mou takusan ikigattemisetemo fui ni mune ni fukikomu yokaze sa otoko wa mayoeru aoi kohitsuji

hodou yuku hito ga konya wa minna kimi ni mieru ai nante kotoba ga kasumeta no wa kamisama no jooku sa

I like how he says "I'm not gonna say this again" and then does. I added the spoken lines in parentheses for the romaji since the second one is conjugated differently. 

English

Turning up the grunge beat's volume higher (Wanna forget the past) I blocked out the noise from the street and took off (The sky above, it was so beautiful)

When I casually looked back, you were there (You flashed a gentle smile) Enough to overwrite my lousy past (memories) Our dream is not bad

No matter what (Hey) kind of shape my lifestyle takes (Look into my heart) Not bad: that is my way of life (Hey) My soul is screaming (Look into my soul) Listen good, I'm not saying this again ... Come along with me

Probably to avoid getting hurt (I was hiding my heart) I denied love and wanted to make up excuses (I knew it was a very big mistake)

Are these feelings getting through? (Girl, don't misunderstand) This aching, thirsty heart will never be filled if it's not with you

Say, Hey (Hey) Until I reach the top (Look into my heart) I'll keep going Not bad(ly): that's my policy (Hey) Look straight at me, just me (Look into my soul) Someday, the days you were upset and crying ... will be blocked out by kisses

At the end of the dream we still haven't seen (What world awaits us now?) Beyond the opening of the unreal door lies our song we still don't see

No matter what (Hey) kind of shape my lifestyle takes (Look into my heart) Not bad: that is my way of life (Hey) My soul is screaming (Look into my soul)

I want to sketch our rock music leading to our future ... Come along with me

Romaji

Uh... Woh, Yeah
