PENOMECO -- “했을 걸 (Feat. Hoody)” (Remember Me)

English translation

It looks like we're not too smart Why is it so hard to be loved? We've been messy, even up until our farewells Why is it so hard to love?

I'm so sorry I couldn't say anything But it wasn't because of my pride or anything I'm not falling down for you

I wish time would go faster I can't do anything I can't hold onto you I'm not falling down for you

I can't be like you it's true Whole lotta distance what can I do  In the end we both left each other with scars But I prepared myself for them long before they were imprinted

Going onto the next let's do it Even as time passes, it ends up being the same I'm going to go far away To a place where there's no trace of you

It looks like we're not too smart Why is it so hard to be loved? We've been messy, even up until our farewells Why is it so hard to love?

Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time

Yeah, a long time ago, you probably Cared about us, more than yourself  In our time together we became more distant I couldn't do anything

I only blamed you while I had my own faults too I blurted out a lot of words and carelessly turned around And faintly saw our end in your two eyes

I feel like it's over

It looks like we're not too smart Why is it so hard to be loved? We've been messy, even up until our farewells Why is it so hard to love?

Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time Remember me For a long long long long long long time

Remember me Remember me

우린 똑똑하지 않은 것 같애  사랑받는 게 뭐 이리 어렵니 우린 이별도 끝까지 더럽네 사랑하는 게 왜 이리 어렵니

내가 많이 미안해  아무 말도 못 한 게 자존심 따윈 아니지  I'm not falling down for you 

시간에게 부탁해  아무것도 못 하게 내가 널 잡지 못하게  I'm not falling down for you

I can't be like you it's true  Whole lotta distance what can I do  결국엔 서로가 상처만 남았고  푹 패이기 한참 전에 미리 준비라도 했을걸 

Going onto the next let's do it 시간이 지나도 결과는 비슷했을걸 난 멀리 떠나려 해 네 흔적이 없는 곳에

우린 똑똑하지 않은 것 같애  사랑받는 게 뭐 이리 어렵니 우린 이별도 끝까지 더럽네 사랑하는 게 왜 이리 어렵니

Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래

그래 아마 한참 전부터 너는 우리보단 너를 더 생각했어 더 어색해져 가는 둘의 시간 속엔 아무것도 할 수 없어

네 탓밖에 못한 내 탓도 있어 그동안  수많은 말을 내뱉곤 무책임하게 돌아서고는 난 보여 네 두 눈에서 우리의 끝이 희미하게

I feel like it's over

우린 똑똑하지 않은 것 같애  사랑받는 게 뭐 이리 어렵니 우린 이별도 끝까지 더럽네 사랑하는 게 왜 이리 어렵니

Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 Remember me  오래 오래 오래 오래 오래 오래

For people reading on things like tablets or mobile devices, I'll have the translation notes at the bottom as well!

　　 My name is Jin. 　　 Did you enjoy Kagerou Daze II -a headphone actor-? 　　 While I was writing this novel, just about every day was extremely hot, well over 30°C. It was in an environment similar to the world of writing. So every day they let me do my writing while eating pizza, with the air conditioner turned down to 23°C. 　　 I feel like I was leeching off of the other people at the office, so I apologize.

　　 Oh, that’s right, in the afterword of my previous work, “Kagerou Days -in a daze-,” I said “If this is unsuccessful, next time I’ll have to write a romantic school comedy!” but thankfully, I received a much higher response than expected, so thank you (smiles). 　　 So, that’s not the reason of the romantic school comedy stuff this time around. 　　 The reason is simply because I had a hunger for love, so please rest assured! 　　 This time, I was working on writing a novel, a single, a live performance, and other things at the same time, so by the end I was pretty much on the verge of going crazy.

　　 No no, it wasn’t too much work at all. Really. 　　 Just thinking about writing the third volume is enough to make me throw up everything I ate into the toilet, but since I’m looking forward to writing it, there’s no helping it!

　　 Slowly, my HP gauge has been reduced, recently changing from yellow to red. 　　 I’m writing this afterword immediately after finishing the second volume while half asleep, so I keep thinking, “What if I mess up and write some dirty jokes on accident here and there……” and worried my tits off thinking about it.*

　　 Well, I think my editor (ikebo*) is planning on completely cleaning it up by the time it gets to the readers, so it’s fine. Definitely. (※Editor’s note: To respect the wishes of the writer, everything has been published as it was originally written)

　　 Speaking of dirty jokes, in the previous volume’s afterword I kept cracking up over “tchin-tchin* (a kind of rose).” Apparently my mother (age 52) went around my hometown saying, “I’m going to do my best to promote it a lot by saying things like ‘My son wrote a novel!’” so because of those jokes, whenever I got a phone call from her, I got a huge headache.

　　 However, when my little sister (age 18) said “My big brother’s novel would be a good read for my friends’ children!” I actually felt strangely excited. 　　 Friends of my little sister, are you reading this? I’m the big brother (grins)

　　 Speaking of my little sister, she said that I’m very similar to Shintarou. 　　 I disagreed with her because in all honesty, I think Shintarou is a considerably unpleasant character. I wasn’t happy at all with her comparison, but then I started to change my mind.

　　 I thought, “Isn’t this a good opportunity?”

　　 In the novel, Shintarou got along really well with the ladies, maybe in the real world, I can get flirty with girls too. Yeah, clearly there’s no way I can go wrong there! 　　 Actually in the first volume, Shintarou’s computer broke, and recently my computer also broke from a mysterious error all of a sudden. I think because of this, we have a very deep connection. 　　 In this novel, Shintarou had some pretty good things happen for him. I bet that pretty soon I’ll get a ticket to go to the amusement park too. I’m really excited!

　　 On that note, I’ve been thinking, “It’s about time that a cute girl who would never disappear pops up on my screen and starts talking to me.” So every night, I’ve been pulling down my pants and waiting patiently…… For some reason, she still hasn’t appeared. I really wonder why.

　　 But the other day, no matter how many times I kept closing them, these ads for adult sites kept popping up. 　　 Although not what I had in mind, I’ve been keeping myself sane by talking to those ads. Thank you, God.

　　 Ah, with this, I believe it’s time to say goodbye. 　　 I really had all kinds of support this time; thank you very much. And from here on out! Thank you for your support! 　　 I’ll see you in the afterword of the third volume as well! Bye now!

                          Jin (Shizen no Teki-P)

translation notes:

1*: This is a joke that was hard to translate into English with the same meaning… 「不安な気持らでいっぱい」 means to be filled with nervous feelings about something and he mixed it with the phrase 「いっぱいおっぱい乳輪丸です」, 「いっぱいおっぱい」 meaning “lots of boobs” and 「乳輪丸」 meaning “nipples.” so all together, 「不安な気持らでいっぱいおっぱい乳輪丸です。」 Thanks to jorwil for the great translation of it ★

2*: i.e. “ikemen voice,” with ikemen meaning handsome, hot, etc.

Bangtan Boys -- “OUTRO: House of Cards”

English translation

It’s risky again, it's dangerous again So bad (why) Even if we endure it, even if we hold it up So hard (hard) We can't do it anymore

Even though I knew it, I couldn't stop it No way, no way, no way, it's falling

The more that time passes, The more it falls apart No way, no way, no way, it's collapsing again

A house made of cards And even though we can see the end, even if it collapses A house made of cards And even if it's an empty dream, we're foolishly going to stay in it like this just a little longer

As if there's no such thing as tomorrow, As if there's no such thing as a next time, Right now, everything in front of me except for you Is a terrible, pitch-black darkness I've always said it, That in the end, we're no good But even so, I keep hoping If I'm with you to the very end, then I'm okay

Even though I knew it, I couldn't stop it No way, no way, no way, it's falling

The more that time passes, The more it falls apart No way, no way, no way, it's collapsing again

A house made of cards And even though we can see the end, even if it collapses A house made of cards And even if it's an empty dream, we're foolishly going to stay in it like this just a little longer

Hangul

또 위태로워 또 위험해 So bad (why) 우린 yeah 더 버티기도 지탱하기도 So hard (hard) 안 돼

이미 알고 있어도 멈출 수가 없었어 No way, no way, no way 쓰러져

시간이 지나갈수록 더 망가져가기만 해 No way, no way 또 무너지는 걸

카드로 만든 집 그 속에서 우린 끝이 보인대도 곧 쓰러진대도 카드로 만든 집 바보같이 우린 헛된 꿈이래도 이대로 조금 더 stay

내일이란 게 없듯이 다음이란 건 없듯이 지금 내겐 눈 앞에 너를 뺀 모든 게 지독히 깜깜한 어둠이지 입버릇처럼 말해 우린 결국엔 안 돼 그래도 난 계속 바래 마지막도 너와 함께라면 I'm okay

이미 알고 있어도 멈출 수가 없었어 No way, no way, no way 쓰러져

시간이 지나갈수록 더 망가져 가기만 해 No way, no way 또 무너지는 걸

Credit is always very much appreciated!
