(Lyrics)

恐くて逃げ出したんだ　え？ なんだか不思議だったな　え？ あの日の か細いバイバイが　え？ 最後の言葉だったな はてな？　え？

Kowakute nigedashitanda e? Nanda ka fushigi datta na e? Ano hi no kabosoi baibai ga e? Saigo no kotoba datta na hatena? E?

You ran because you were scared. Eh? A little strange isn’t it. Eh? The feeble goodbye from that day. Question mark? Eh?

ビリビリ痛み 感じる脳汁　え？ クラクラ眩暈 願い叶うか　え？ もっとゴンチャが飲みたいんだ　え？ やってる事マジ糞ビッチ　え？

Biribiri itami kanjiru noujiru e? Kurakura memai negai kanau ka e? Motto goncha ga nomitainda e? Yatteru koto maji kuso bicchi e?

Cerebral fluid, feeling an electric pain. Eh? Spinning and dizzy, will my wish come true? Eh? I want to drink more gong cha. Eh? What you’re doing is seriously slutty. Eh?

染まっていく夕日の色 誰の悲鳴 カラスの共鳴

Somatteiku yuuhi no iro Dare no himei karasu no kyoumei

Dyeing in the colour of the eve Whose scream, sympathy of the crows

染まってしまう 黒い感情 嫌気刺すの

Somatte shimau kuroi kanjou iyaki sasu no

I’m tainted by black emotions, and I really hate it

止めないで・言わないで・何の為・自分の為 行かないで・キミの為・明日の為・消えないで

Tomenaide・iwanaide・nan no tame・jibun no tame Ikanaide・kimi no tame・ asu no tame・ kienaide

Don’t stop・don’t say it・for the sake of what・for the self's sake Don’t go・for your sake・for tomorrow’s sake・don’t disappear

中毒的なリズムで キミに夢中になれたら 居ても立っても　居ても立っても 居ても立っても居られない

Chuudoku teki na rizumu de Kimi ni muchuu ni naretara Ite mo tatte mo ite mo tatte mo Ite mo tatte mo irarenai

By this addictive rhythm If you become obsessed with it I can’t sit still, I can’t sit still I can’t sit still, I can’t help it

今だ 衝動的にバンザイ 世界中が音でバグって 止まらない （ガンガン！バンバン！） 限界JUMP 超えてこう

Ima da shoudouteki ni banzai Sekaijuu ga oto de bagutte tomaranai (Gangan! Banban!) Genkai JUMP koete kou

It’s now, an impulsive bash The sound causes the whole world to malfunction nonstop (Clang clang! Bang bang!) Go and JUMP beyond your limits

飛びな 本能的にバンザイ 世界中がアタシを見てアゲていけ （ジャンジャン！ギャンギャン！） ギラギラなハート 焦がそう

Tobi na honnouteki ni banzai Sekaijuu ga atashi wo mite ageteike (Janjan! Gyangyan!) Giragira na hāto kogasou

Fly! An instinctive bash The whole world looks at me, raise my spirits (Jangle Jangle! Gya gya!) Scorch that sparkling heart

潜ってけ 潜れ 沈めモグラ野郎 反吐が出るわ

Kugutteke kugure shizume mogura yarou hedo ga deru wa

Slipping away, slip away, sink, mole bastard, it makes me sick

良くも悪くも味気ない 罪な人ね 危険な香り漂う そんなスリルがたまんない いけないことは知ってた 抑え切れない 未来の無い関係に どんな意味があるの

Yoku mo waruku mo ajikinai tsumi na hito ne Kiken na kaori tadayou sonna suriru ga tamannai Ikenai koto wa shitteta osaekirenai Mirai no nai kankei ni donna imi ga aru no

For better or for worse, it’s so wearisome. Quite sinful aren't you? The smell of danger lingers in the air, and I can’t get enough of the thrill I know there are things I shouldn’t do, but it’s irresistible A relationship that won’t last, what kind of meaning could that have

食べないで、飲まないで、何の為・自分の為 行かないで・キミの為・明日の為・消えないで

Tabenaide, nomanaide, nan no tame・jibun no tame Ikanaide・kimi no tame・asu no tame・kienaide

Don’t eat it, don’t drink it. Why? ・For the self's sake Don’t leave・for your sake・for tomorrow’s sake・don’t disappear

中毒的なリズムで キミに夢中になれたら 何がなんでも何がなんでも 何がなんでも精神崩壊

Chuudokuteki na rizumu de Kimi ni muchuu ni naretara Nani ga nande mo nani ga nande mo nani ga nandemo seishin houkai

By this addictive rhythm If you become obsessed with it Then by all means, by all means By all means, just go wild

今だ 中毒的にバンザイ 世界中がアタシ狂って 止まらない （ガンガン！バンバン！） 限界JUMP アゲてこう

Ima da chuudokuteki ni banzai Sekaijuu ga atashi kurutte tomaranai (Gangan! Banban!) Genkai JUMP agete kou

It’s now, an addictive bash The whole world goes crazy for me, all the time (Clang clang! Bang bang!) Go and JUMP beyond your limits

飛びな 圧倒的に挑発 世界中を夜に堕として 溶けていけ （ジャンジャン！ギャンギャン！） バチバチなハート 焼き尽くせ

Tobi na attouteki ni chouhatsu Sekaijuu wo yoru ni otoshite toketeike (Janjan! Gyangyan!) Bachibachi na hāto yakitsukuse

Fly! Such overwhelming excitement Plunge the whole world into dark, melt into it (Jangle jangle! Gya gya!) Burn this crackling heart to ashes

衝動的にバンザイ 世界中が音でバグって 止まらない （ガンガン！バンバン！） 限界JUMP 超えてこう

Shoudouteki ni banzai Sekaijuu ga oto de bagutte tomaranai (Gangan! Banban!) Genkai JUMP koete kou

An impulsive bash The sound causes the whole world to malfunction nonstop (Clang clang! Bang bang!) Go and JUMP beyond your limits

飛びな 本能的にバンザイ 世界中がアタシを見て アゲていけ （ジャンジャン！ギャンギャン！） ギラギラなハート 焦がそう

Tobi na honnouteki ni banzai Sekaijuu ga atashi wo mite ageteike (Janjan! Gyangyan!) Giragira na hāto kogasou

Fly! An instinctive bash The whole world looks at me, raise my spirits (Jangle Jangle! Gya gya!) Scorch that sparkling heart

暗闇で病んで病み疲れ え？ 不向きじゃない 前向きに考える　え？ 道なき道行く 皆で万歳 踊り明かす 今宵万祭 え？

Kurayami de yande yami tsukare e? Fumuki janai maemuki ni kangaeru e? Michi naki michi iku minna de banzai Odoriakasu koyoi banzai e?

Sick and exhausted in the darkness. Eh? I’m not unmarketable, think positive. Eh? Going down an unmarked path, everyone cheer. Eh? Dancing until dawn, tonight’s a celebration. Eh?

I’m at a loose end, seriously Don’t point out the weird stuff A world where trifling matters are enough to get you cancelled Self harm is expectation (?) So begins the meaningless compliments Right around here it’s a two shot, two shot¹ That’s why you wear those coloured contact lenses Because you got serious tunnel vision, I tell ya Unexpectedly shallow A fool beating down the cowards who bare their teeth with a taste of life

もうくどいって 早くどいて

Mou kudoi tte Hayaku doite

This is so gaudy Quick, out of my way

足元がおぼつかない？ 大人気ない

Ashimoto ga obotsukanai? Otonagenai

Huh, my legs are shaky? How childish

流行りの音楽に踊らされて チヤホヤされたらそれで満足？ 画面の中で酸素補給 本当の価値はどこにある うらめしや 化けて出るお前の本音 わがまま 素直がキュート つまらない物差しステータス ぶち壊してよね

Hayari no ongaku ni odorasarete Chiyahoya saretara sore de manzoku? Gamen no naka de sanso hokyuu Hontou no kachi ha doko ni aru Urameshiya Baketederu omae no honne Wagamama sunao ga kyūto Tsumaranai monozashi sutētasu Buchikowashite yo ne

Make me dance to trendy music If I’m fawned over, would that be enough? The oxygen supply within the screen Where does the true value lie Curse you Your true intention is to have me become a lost ghost Selfishness, obedience is cute Pointless status measuring stick Come on, smash it to bits

先輩面すんなって 結構それ寒いかもね モラハラすんなって 貴方様の王国なの？

Senpaitsura sunna tte Kekkou sore samui kamo ne Morahara sunna tte Anata sama no oukoku nano?

Stop patronising me already That might be a bit cold Stop harassing me already Is that your kingdom?

もうダメ 煽っちゃヤダヤダ お酒も薬も飲めないよ よく見りゃこちらは誰？誰？ 期待はずれ 加工厨

Mou dame aoccha yada yada Osake mo kusuri mo nomenai yo Yoku mirya kochira wa dare? Dare? Kitaihazure kakouchuu

I can’t take it anymore. Stop agitating me I can’t drink alcohol or take drugs If you look closely, who is it that’s there? Who is it? A failure using photoshop

何の役にも立たない 狭い世界のマウントね 代わりなんている たくさんいるよ アイドル気取りの量産型 やましい事はメイクで隠し お気持ち表明なんだそれ

Nan no yaku ni mo tatanai Semai sekai no maunto ne Kawari nante iru Takusan iru yo Aidoru kidori no ryousangata Yamashii koto wa meiku de kakushi Okimochi hyoumei nanda sore

Of no use whatsoever The mount of a narrow-minded world Are there replacements Why, there’s plenty The idol style is mass produced Hiding the things I’m ashamed of behind makeup What kind of emotional statement is that

もうくどいって 早くどいて

Mou kudoi tte Hayaku doite

This is so gaudy Quick, out of my way

もう引き返せないよ？ その態度

Mou hikikaesenai yo? Sono taidou

So I can’t go back anymore? That attitude

他人のレールをトレースしちゃって

Tan’in no rēru wo torēsu shichatte

Following in the steps of strangers

そろそろ目を醒ましな 魔法少女も天使もいないから

Sorosoro me wo samashina Mahou shoujo mo tenshi mo inai kara

It’s about time for you to wake up There’s no magical girls or angels

まだまだ夢見てたい 遊び足りないけどフラフラしてらんないから 3.2.1で大変身

Mada mada yumemitetai Asobi tarinai kedo furafura shiterannai kara San ni ichi de daihenshin

I want to keep dreaming I haven’t had enough time to play, but I can’t be aimless forever so It’s time to transform, 3 2 1!

流行りの音楽に踊らされて チヤホヤされたらそれで満足？ 画面の中で酸素補給 本当の価値はどこにある うらめしや 化けて出るお前の本音 わがまま 素直がキュート つまらない物差しステータス ぶち壊してあげる

Hayari no ongaku ni odorasarete Chiyahoya saretara sore de manzoku? Gamen no naka de sanso hokyuu Hontou no kachi wa doko ni aru Urameshiya Baketederu omae no honne Wagamama sunao ga kyūto Tsumaranai monozashi sutētasu Buchikowashite ageru

Make me dance to trendy music If I’m fawned over, would that be enough? The oxygen supply within the screen Where does the true value lie Curse you Your true intention is to have me become a lost ghost Selfishness, obedience is cute Pointless status measuring stick I’m gonna smash it to bits

NOTES: 1 ツーショット is a word that can mean a few different things. One meaning that stuck out to me was a photograph of two people, which leads me to believe this line could be referring to the cheki photos underground idols (and bands) take with their fans after live shows. Even more interesting is that it usually refers to photos of a man and a woman, which could have some extra metaphorical meaning.

Rizumu wo awaseta nara odorimashou Shuuen wo tsugeru ragunaroku Saigo no homura kieteshimau made Utau wa tokoshie ni hibike

If you can match the rhythm, let’s dance Ragnarok signals the end Until the last flame flickers out The song resounds

Lalalala…ah

(Notes) 1 in the sense of “rise from the dead.” I wanted it to sound more like a chant, because “revive!” sounded kinda weird to me, idk.

FINAL THOUGHTS: I love the kind of waltzy(?) sound this one has. This song is definitely a femme fatale kind of story, which is neat. Mashiro's velvety voice really fits that vibe, too.

Brainwashing Hologram

(Lyrics)

洗脳！洗脳！洗脳！洗脳！

Sennou! Sennou! Sennou! Sennou!

Brainwashing! Brainwashing! Brainwashing! Brainwashing!

なんでもない日常に潜むーーー。 サブリミナル的犯行 「最近また嫌なことあったでしょ？」 嗚呼、弱みにほら漬け込んで来る 隙間から覗かれてる 背筋がゾクッ… 今日は眠れなそう

Nandemonai nichijou ni hisomuーーー. Saburiminaru teki hankou “Saikin mata iya na koto atta deshou?” Aa, yowami ni hora tsukekonde kuru Sukima kara nozoka re teru Sesuji ga zoku… kyou wa nemurenasou

Everyday trifles lie in waitーーー. Subliminal crimes “Something unpleasant happened again?” Ahh, come and take advantage of that weakness Something peeks out from the cracks My spine tingles… It seems that I can’t sleep today

脳みそパンクロック キャパオーバー ケロイド脳 ケロイド脳 おぇぇ そろそろ限界が来るでしょ？ 脳みそパンクロックメタルPORE ケロイド脳 ケロイド脳 おぇぇ そろそろ限界が来たでしょ？

Noumiso pankurokku kyapaōbā Keroido nou keroido nou oee Sorosoro genkai ga kuru deshou? Noumiso pankurokku metaru PORE Keroido nou keroido nou oee Sorosoro genkai ga kita deshou?

Brain punk rock, capacity over (load) Keloid brain, keloid brain, uweeh We’ll reach the limit soon, right? Brain punk rock, metal pores Keloid brain, keloid brain, uweeh I think we’re reaching the limit, right?

CASE:1 罪悪感を暗い部屋に閉じ込めて 程良い価値観の合致が沼から出れない 誰に取り憑かれてる？ 誰に取り憑かれてる？ 誰に取り憑かれてる？ 身体が破裂しそう

CASE:1 Zaiakukan wo kurai heya ni tojikomete Hodoyoi kachikan no gacchi ga numa kara derenai Dare ni toritsukareteru? Dare ni toritsukareteru? Dare ni toritsukareteru? Karada ga haretsu shisou

CASE: 1 Closing the guilt away in a dark room The alignment of values keeps me in this swamp¹ Who has possessed me? Who has possessed me? Who has possessed me? It’s like my body is breaking down

常識が個性を壊してる 愛してるもさよならってやつも 私には見え辛いから ホログラムだよ 騙されてるよ また軽々恋してる？ この世界は嘘で出来ている 言い切れる 気付いていける 脳を乱して 掻き回してよ 洗脳

Shoushiki ga kosei wo kowashiteru Aishiteru mo sayonara tte yatsu mo Watashi ni wa miedzurai kara Horoguramu da yo damasareteru yo Mata karugaru koishiteru? Kono sekai wa uso de dekiteiru Iikireru kidzuite ikeru Nou wo midashite kakimawashite yo Sennou

Common sense is destroying individuality I love you, goodbye, and things like that (?)² It’s hard for me to see It’s a hologram, I’m being deceived Carelessly yearning for it again? This world is made of lies I can say for certain, I’ve become aware My brain is in disorder, disarray Brainwashing

洗脳！洗脳！洗脳！洗脳！

Sennou! Sennou! Sennou! Sennou!

Brainwashing! Brainwashing! Brainwashing! Brainwashing!

まだまだ日常に隠してるーーー。 誰にも言ってない事 ここで吐いて さぁ楽になりなよ ほらまた弱みを握られている 何故か視線を感じる 背筋がゾクッ…逃してくれなそう

Madamada nichijou ni kakushiteru Dare ni mo ittenai koto Koko de haite saa raku ni nari na yo Hora mata yowami wo nigirareteiru Naze ka shisen wo kanjiru Sesuji ga zoku… nigashitekurenasou

Still hidden in everyday lifeーーー. The things no one says Are spit out here, just take it easy That weakness has been grasped again Why do I feel like I’m in the line of sight My spine tingles… it seems that I can’t escape

CASE:2 優越感の使い方が下手なんだ それじゃあ心の声がダダ漏れ CASE:3 悪魔が起きた 痛みに耐えられず このまま堕ちて行くのが普通 自我崩壊寸前 自我崩壊寸前 自我崩壊寸前 心が無くなりそう

CASE:2 yuuetsukan no tsukaikata ga heta nanda Sore jaa kokoro no koe ga dadamore CASE:3 Akuma ga okita itami ni taerarezu Kono mama ochiteiku no ga futsuu Jiga houkaisunzen Jiga houkaisunzen Jiga houkaisunzen Kokoro ga nakunarisou

CASE: 2 The way you use superiority is imprudent Now, the voice of the heart spills unrestrained CASE: 3 The devil awakens, unable to endure the pain Falling like this is normal The self is about to collapse The self is about to collapse The self is about to collapse It seems my heart is going to disappear

ちょっと待って あなたが洗脳？ えっと待って 私が洗脳？ 結局誰が悪魔で神なのかわからない 意味が無い

Chotto matte anata ga sennou? Etto matte watashi ga sennou? Kekkyoku dare ga akuma de kami nano ka wakaranai Imi ga nai

Wait a minute, are you brainwashed? Eh? Wait, am I brainwashed? In the end, who is the devil and who is god? I don’t know Does it even matter

常識が個性を壊してる 愛してるもさよならってやつも 私には見え辛いから ホログラムだよ 騙されてるよ それも嘘だよ どれも嘘だよ

Shoushiki ga kosei wo kowashiteru Aishiteru mo sayonara tte yatsu mo Watashi ni wa miedzurai Horoguramu da yo damasareteru yo Sore mo uso da yo dore mo uso da yo

Common sense is killing individuality I love you, goodbye, and things like that It’s hard for me to see It’s a hologram, I’m being deceived That’s a lie, it’s all a lie

また軽々恋してる？ この世界は嘘で出来ている 言い切れる 気付いていける 脳を乱して 掻き回してよ 私だけを信じてくれるなら 騙されたって構わないの 言い切れる 気付いていける 脳を乱して 掻き回してよ これがダメなの。 離してくれないの

Mata karugaru koishiteiru Kono sekai wa uso de dekiteiru Iikireru kidzuite ikeru Nou wo midashite kakimawashite yo Watashi dake wo shinjitekureru nara Damasaretatte kamawanai no Iikireru kidzuite ikeru Nou wo midashite kakimawashite yo Kore ga dame nano. Hanashitekurenai no

Carelessly yearning for it again? This world is made of lies I can say for certain, I’ve become aware My brain is in disorder, disarray If you believe only in me It won’t even matter if you’re deceived I can say for certain, I’ve become aware My brain is in disorder, disarray This is no good. Don’t let go

(Notes) 1 沼 is often used metaphorically to mean “obsession” 2 I’m a little confused on the use of やつ (most likely meant to mean “things”) in this sentence. I understood this sentence as “I love you, goodbye, and things(like that)” but I’m still kind of unsure about it. Maybe I’m overthinking, idk.

As per usual, figuring out the subject and object in Japanese lyrics is hard. QAQ

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Below is the rant I wrote in regards to this group's identity. This is totally irrelevant now that マザリ has completely transitioned to a traditional Japanese sound (and, to a lesser extent, MADMED's disbandment). Nonetheless, I thought it was interesting enough to add here, especially considering how much bigger MAD'S iNK is getting.

This one is really good. I LOVE songs with weird vibes like this, and the abrupt ending is the cherry on top. I think it might lean a little bit too far into MADMED vibes, but that's more of an identity issue than a song issue. This song is definitely them playing with their concept, but I think that the symphonic nature of their other songs is an important part of the group's identity and music style. Unlike their twin sister group めっ！ I feel like 神様の言う通り might end up struggling against MADMED and マザリ in regards to musical distinctiveness. Afterall, マザリ's got the metal down, and MADMED's got the almost surreal EDM. I feel like their concept, "brainwashing and religion," isn't distinct enough from MADMED's "Dependancy" and マザリ's "Curse" on it's own, so having a distinctive style in their music is a must.

Ruin My Life

(Lyrics)

これ以上 私に優しくしないで 下手クソな嘘は腹が立つから

Kore ijou watashi ni yasashiku shinaide Heta kuso na uso wa haragatatsu kara

Don’t be any kinder to me than this Because those shoddy lies are getting on my nerves

自分で言った事も何も覚えてないんでしょ？ まだ隠してる嘘もアリバイが無いの ドロドロ ドラマの主人公にでもなったつもり？ アナタを縛り付け薔薇薔薇に解体させてよ

Tsuman (?) de itta koto mo nani mo oboetenai desho? Mada kakushiteru uso mo aribai ga nai no Dorodoro dorama no shujinkou ni demo natta tsumori? Anata wo shibaritsuke barabara ni kaitei sasete yo

You don’t remember anything I said, do you? You’re still hiding lies and have no alibi Do you intend on becoming the main character of this muddy drama? Tie you down, and break you to pieces

暗い森に迷い込んだアリス 夢じゃないの さよならだけが人生さ 少し病んでて痛そうな私を 引き摺り込んだ責任くらい取ってよね 期待してないけどね

Kurai mori ni mayoikonda arisu Yume janai no sayonara dake ga jinsei sa Sukoshi yandete itasou na watashi wo Hikizurikonda sekinin kurai totte yo ne Kitai shitenai kedo ne

Within the dark forest, Alice wanders astray It’s not a dream— life is nothing but goodbyes It appears that I’ve fallen a bit sick You dragged me into this, take some responsibility But it’s not like I can expect anything from you, huh

今更謝ったって許さない 幸せな未来も…私ノ人生、台無シ。 これ以上 私に優しくしないで 下手クソな嘘は腹が立つから あなたが悪いだけだから -復讐のお時間-

Imasara ayamattate yurusanai Shiawasena mirai mo… watashi no jinsei, dainashi. Kore ijou watashi ni yasashiku shinaide Heta kuso na uso wa haragatatsu kara Anata ga warui dake dakara -Fukushuu no ojikan-

Even if you apologise now, it’s too late for forgiveness You’ve ruined my happy future… and my whole life Don’t be any kinder to me than this Because those shoddy lies are getting on my nerves Because it’s all your fault -It’s time for revenge-

帰りが遅かったら最高級のトラウマを 騙して食べさせよう ジワジワとやり返す お腹が痛くなって来たら弱みに漬け込む 心配するフリが上手なのはあなたのおかげだよ

Kaeri ga osokattara sai koukyuu no torauma wo Damashite tabesaseyou jiwajiwa to yarikaesu Onaka ga itakunatte kitara yowami ni tsukekomu Shinpai suru furi ga jouzu nano wa anata no okage dayo

If I return home late, it’s a complete nightmare I’ll trick you into eating— striking back bit by bit If your stomach begins hurting, I’ll take advantage of it My acting ability is great thanks to you

どうもありがとう これで目を覚ましたわ 殺したいけど刺す程の価値もないでしょ？ でも今までの思い出は消えないの 私の記憶奪ってくれるなら許すかも って無理に決まってんじゃん

Doumo arigatou kore de me wo samashita wa Koroshitai kedo sasu hodo no kachi mo nai desho? Demo ima made no omoide wa kienai no Watashi no kioku ubattekureru nara yurusu kamo Tte muri ni kamattenjan

Thank you, this really woke me up I want to kill you, but it must not even be worth the effort, right?¹ But the memories won’t disappear Perhaps, if you could take them away, I might forgive you But that’s impossible

一つだけ教えてくれたね「別れ」を 初めてを捧げたのもあなただったから 綺麗な愛なんてないこんな世界に 上手な嘘は役に立つから 私、強くなれたかなぁ？

Hitotsu dake oshietekureta ne “wakare” wo Hajimete wo sasageta no mo anata datta kara Kirei na ai nante nai konna sekai ni Jouzu na uso wa yakunitatsu kara Watashi, tsuyokunareta kanaa?

The only thing you taught me is “farewell” My first time was with you, after all Love doesn’t exist in a world like this Since good lies can be useful Have I gotten stronger?

あなたの華奢な腕も その痛んだ髪の毛の一本も 私だけの物だった筈なのに 悲しい雨が降って傘も刺せずに溺れて もう傷口を縫わないでね

Anata no kyasha na ude mo sono itanda kami no ke no ippon mo Watashi dake no mono datta hazu nano ni Kanashii ame ga futte kasa mo sasezu ni oborete Mou kizuguchi wo nuwanaide ne

Your fragile arms and every strand of your damaged hair It was supposed to mine alone Sadness rains down, and I drown before I can even open my umbrella Just don’t stitch up these wounds

2人で溶け合った部屋は散らかっていた 片付けようあなたとの過去を

Futari de tokeatta heya wa chirakatte ita Katadzuke you anata to no kako wo

The room in which we melted together was in disarray I’ll tidy up the past where I was with you

弱くてすぐ泣くような 可愛い女で痛かった あぁムカつくわ

Yowakute sugu naku you na kawaii onna de itakatta Aa mukatsuku wa

Weak and prone to tears, a cute and hurt girl Ahh, that really gets on my nerves

どれも取り返しがつかなくなるまで 少し痛むこのお腹も吐き気も目眩も全部

Dore mo torikaeshi ga tsukanaku naru made Sukoshi itamu kono onaka mo hakike mo memai mo zenbu

Until it cannot be undone This stomach ache, the nausea, dizziness and everything

これ以上私に優しくしないで 幸せな未来も…私ノ人生、台無シ。 破綻している物語で良い さあ 最愛を証明しましょう ラストの一頁に刻んだ Merry BAD ENDへ

Kore ijou watashi ni yasashiku shinaide Shiawasena mirai mo… watashi no jinsei, dainashi Hatan shiteiru monogatari de ii Saa saiai wo shoumei shimashou Rasuto no ichippeeji ni kizanda Merry BAD END he

Don’t be any kinder to me than this You’ve ruined my happy future… and my whole life It’s fine if the story is messy Let’s prove our love Engraved on the last page To a Merry BAD END

(Notes)

(1) I have no idea who the subject is here (I want to kill vs you want to kill). I was thinking that “you” would make more sense based on the context of the song as a whole, but then the next line wouldn’t make sense, so I stuck with “I.” I’m also not 100% sure about the meaning of 「刺す程の価値」.

(Lyrics) いつからここにいるの 思い出せない 螺旋の底

Itsukara koko ni iru no Omoidasenai rasen no soko

How long have I been here At the bottom of this spiral, I cannot remember

選ばれずに 慣れ果てて 自由諦め Fall'in Darkness

Erabarezu ni narehatete Jiyuu akirame Fall in Darkness

Unchosen and accustomed to it Give up freedom and Fall in Darkness

答えを隠すように 夜が月へと重なる 暴く側にも回れず 心を殺し Fall in darkness

Kotae wo kakusu you ni Yoru ga tsuki he to kasanaru Abaku gawa ni mawarezu Kokoro wo koroshi Fall in darkness

As if to conceal the answer The night merges with the moon And I could not turn to those who expose it Kill my heart and Fall in Darkness

歪んで ねじれて 狂った世界は Dark paradise 壊れてしまうと 分かっているのに Dark parasite

Yugande nejirete kurutta sekai wa Dark paradise Kowareteshimau to wakatteiru no ni Dark parasite

Distorted and twisted, this crazed world is a Dark paradise Though I know it will eventually break Dark parasite

堕ちていくほど 生きていると思えた

Ochiteiku hodo ikiteiru to omoeta

The more I fell, the more alive I felt

誰でもいい 嘘でもいい この孤独を 埋めてほしくて Moon light to ark 願う

Dare de mo iii uso demo ii Kono kodoku wo umete hoshikute Moon light to ark Negau

It doesn’t matter who, it doesn’t matter if it’s a lie I want to be filled with this loneliness Moon light to ark Wish

悲しみの最果てで か細い糸に まだ繋がれてるんだ 自由なんていらない そう思えるほど 幸せでした

Kanashimi no saihate de Kabosoi ito ni mada tsunagareterunda Jiyuu nante iranai Sou omoeru hodo shiawase deshita

At the farthest edge of sorrow I’m still connected by a tiny thread I don’t need anything like freedom Like this, I’m happy enough

抜け出したって 行先なんて どこにもない ワタシ 空っぽなんだ 手遅れなんだ 透明なんだ ワタシ

Nukedashitatte yukusaki nante Doko ni mo nai watashi Karappo nanda teokure nanda Toumei nanda watashi

If I were to escape, where would I even go I’m nowhere to be found I'm empty, I'm too late I’m transparent

I threw away the future I could have chosen without even thinking about it I know, I was foolish

それでもいいと 思えるほど溺れた

I was so lost in it, that I accepted it

誰でもいい 嘘 月に手を伸ばし 願いを託すの Moon light to ark いつか

Dare demo ii uso Tsuki ni te nobashi negai wo takusu no Moon light to ark Itsuka

It doesn’t matter who– lies I reach up to the moon and entrust my wish Moon light to ark One day

想い出の終点で 最後の嘘に まだ生かされてるんだ 希望なんていらない ただアナタに また触れてほしくて

Omoide no shuuten de Saigo no uso ni mada ikasareterunda Kibou nante iranai Tada anata ni mada furete hoshikute

At the end of memory I’m kept alive by that final lie I don’t need anything like hope I just want you to touch me again

何もかもが全て嘘だと 認めてしまうのが 怖かった

Nani mo kamo ga subete uso dato Mitometeshimau no ga kowakatta

Everything was a lie I was just afraid to admit it

どうか 悪い夢であってほしいって 戻れるなら 戻りたいって お願い 全部あげるから

Douka warui yume de atte hoshii tte Modoreru nara modoritaitte Onegai zenbu ageru kara

I hope it’s just a bad dream If I could go back, I’d want to go back Please, I’ll give you everything

アナタがいい アナタがいい 遅すぎたけど 気付けたから Moon light to ark どうか

Anata ga ii anata ga ii Oso sugita kedo kidzuketa kara Moon light to ark Douka

You’re the one I want, you’re the one I want Though it's too late, I finally realised it Moon light to ark Please

終わりゆくこの世界 最期の最後には 幸せだねって 想うように生きたい 今際の中 夢で眠りララバイ

Owariyuku kono sekai Saigo no saigo ni wa shiawase da ne tte Omou you ni ikitai Imawa no naka yume de nemuri rarabai

As the world comes to a close At the very end of it, we’ll say “we were happy, weren’t we?” I want to live as I please Now, I dream of a lullaby

Hito no koto shinjisuginai you ni Hitori demo ikinuitekeru you ni Souyatte tsukutta tsuyoi kokoro Nanoni sa, aa

Don’t place too much trust in strangers So that one can survive on one’s own That’s how I built a strong heart But you see, ah

A future where we can’t properly connect It’s like it was decided from the start I kept the deeper parts hidden Yes, forever and ever, and ever, and ever We—

Nee, itsuka kādo wo uragae shitara Kizutsuku koto ni naru no kana Haiiro no sora no shita hitotsu negatta Dou ka, kore dake wa 「Dauto.」

Hey, one day, when I turn the card Will it end up hurting me? Underneath the ashen sky, I wished for one thing So, please, just this once “Doubt.”

君のつくどんな嘘も 気づいているけど たったひとつこれだけでいい 「好き」だけは本音がいいよ

Kimi no tsuku donna uso mo Kidzuiteiru kedo Tatta hitotsu kore dake de ii 「Suki 」dake wa honne ga ii yo

Every lie you tell I notice it all, yet Just this one thing is alright It’s fine if just the words “I like you” are sincere

こんなにも苦しくて こんなに切ない気持ち どこまででも君についていけるのは 世界中で絶対 僕だけさ 僕だけさ 僕だけさ

(Notes) *This word actually hurts my feelings. The only meaning for it that made sense to me in this context was as a literary term that refers to when one’s skin makes contact with something cold and moist. Why so complicated?? This is smart people stuff— I'm just not built for this 🥀 I think I translated that line okay, though... maybe.

EDIT: just realised ワタ was supposed to mean organs (I think). I'm such a silly billy.

FINAL THOUGHTS: I totally forgot how fun doing this is, ngl.

Edit: So, I'm just dumb. This song is about the eponymous urban legend Hitorikakurenbo. How it works is you remove a doll's stuffing, replace it with rice and fingernails, and sew it with red thread. Then, you give it a name, put it in a bathtub and say "(name), you are it" three times. At that point, if all the steps were done correctly, the doll would start to move and look for you. I don't know why I didn't make this connection earlier with the name, the red threads and the whole "give me back my organs" shtick. Overthinking strikes again!

But, that's not to say that the song might not have another hidden meaning. I mean, the first thing that comes to mind is, "why on god's green earth does the girl in the picture have stuffing inside of her" and "why is she holding a doll if she's supposed to be the doll?"

Mazari songs are always so interesting, even though they make me want to slam my head against the wall when I translate them sometimes, haha.

If I offer up everything, will I be able to see you?

因縁生起成住壊空 嗚

Innenseiki joujuuekuu a

Dependent origination*, four kalpas*

あゝ此の水は何処へ 縷々流々色即是空へ あゝ此の躰 涅槃へ 追儺を以て追悼を 禁忌の欲界へ

Aa kono mizu wa izuko he Ruru ryuuryuu shikisokuzekuu he Aa kono karada nehan he Tsuina wo mote tsuitou wo kinki no yokkai he*

Aah, to where does this water run Flowing ceaselessly towards an empty form Aah, this body will reach nirvana Through exorcism, the mourning are sent to Kāmadhātu (desire realm)*

胸に蠢く痛苦の蟲は貴人のせい？ 黒い仇 唯 腐り堕ちてく名も亡き子 還る蛙 逢えぬ小さな御霊

Mune ni ugomeku tsuuku no mushi wa atebito no sei? Kuroi ada tada kusari ochiteku na mo naki ko Kaeru kaeru aenu chisana mitama

Squirming in my chest is an insect that begets pain— is it the fault of the noblemen? The enemy in black rots and decays, a nameless child The frog returns, a small, elusive spirit

もう貴方を抱きしめられなくなった 欠けてく躰を支えて

Mou anata wo dakishimerarenakunatta Kaketeku karada wo sasaete

Now, I can no longer embrace you I’ll prop up this damaged body

契る血の誓いを 其の悲哀に救いのない慈愛を 慰み物に刺した鋭利な針 叫ぶ御呪いを 貴方を招んだ丑三つ時 この身さえ滅びても構わない 全て壊して

Pledge a blood oath That sorrow, a mercy without salvation Within this toy a sharp nail lies pierced Scream the spell, I called out for you in the dead of the night Even if this body perishes, it doesn’t matter I'll destroy everything

未だ徒伹 千切り堕ちてく 忌み無き子 還る蛙逢えぬ 小さな釈氏 もう貴方の手も握れなくなった 朽ちてく躯を捧げて

Mada ada mata* chigiri ochiteku iminaki ko Kaeru kaeru aenu chisana shakushi Mou anata no te mo nigirenakunatta Kuchiteku mukuro wo sasagete

Still frivolous and dull, shreds falling away, innocent child The frog returns, yet is unable to meet the small monk Now, I can no longer take your hand I’ll offer up this decaying corpse

全て焼き尽くして 突き堕として 終わり無き災厄を 尊い愛も全て無に帰して 朱に沈む彩に 貴方を送った朧月夜 この世など滅びても構わない

Subete yakitsukushite Tsuki otoshite owarinaki saiyaku wo Toutoi ai mo subete mu ni kaeshite Ake ni shizumu sai ni anata wo okutta oborotsukiyo Kono yo nado horobitemo kamawanai

Burn everything away Push down this neverending disaster This love and all else precious are for naught in the end Sinking in red paint, I buried you under the misty moonlight Even if this world and the rest were to perish, it doesn’t matter

壊して 唯壊して 連れて行って 救いのない世界へ この身さえ滅びても構わない 全て殺して

Kowashite tada kowashite tsureteitte sukui no nai sekai he Kono mi sae horobitemo kamawanai Subete koroshite

Destroy me, just destroy me, and take me away to a world without salvation Even if this body perishes, it doesn’t matter I'll kill everything

全てを捧げれば貴方に逢えますか。

Subete wo sasagereba anata ni aemasu ka.

If I offer up everything, will I be able to see you?

(Notes)

*dependent origination (Pratītyasamutpāda) is a doctrine in Buddhism that all existence, phenomena and matter exists as a result of cause and effect. In other words, nothing exists randomly/for no reason.

*the four kalpas are the four stages of the world's lifecycle; formation, continuance, decline and disintegration

*Though it’s always hard to hear Homura’s screams, this is definitely the trickiest one to decipher yet. For every part except 因縁生起成住壊空, I’m really not confident about what I put for the romaji here

*the desire realm is one of the three realms (trailokya) in Buddhist cosmology. It is into one of these three realms that a being caught in samsara is reborn.

*HELLP WTF IS THIS KANJI?????? 😭

FINAL THOUGHTS: All in all, this is a pretty cool song. Maybe it's just me, but this one kind of feels like an upgraded version of Ushi no Koku Mairi. Obviously, they're very different, but, like, idk. The vibes feel sorta similar.

Anyways, I thought I hated 猟奇 but it turns out that my real enemy is whatever the hell this thing is -> 伹. If I ever see it again I will lose it, lmao.

Poison Obsequy*

痛いよ痛いよ` 身体蝕む薬が 私を溶かしていった

Fix me or kill me?

割れた泡 咲く死斑 開いた瞳と閉じる脈 硬まるアクトミオシン また誰も救えなかった

Burst bubbles and blooming livor mortis Opened eyes and closed veins Hardening actomyosin Yet again, no one could be saved

足りぬ血清 溶ける猛毒 腐食し崩れていったの

Not enough serum Melting poison Corroding and crumbling away

掬えなくて 零れてった 液状medicine

It can’t be scooped up As it spills out The liquid medicine

嗤う支配者黒衣の聖者 洗う血を流すパンダ 流れ尽いた悪いDrugじゃ もう誰も救えない

The sneering ruler, and the black-clad saint The panda that washes spilling blood The bad drug has been all used up Now no one can be saved

Is this toxin or venom, baby?

Just kill me, kill me already Embracing decaying marrow The ones seeking salvation Are the angels clad in white

Antidotes and antidepressants It was sold at a high price

枯れた花 水が無いや 手を合わせておやすみ ドライフラワーは要らないや 飾る場所なんて無いから

Take me for light.

未だ痛いよ痛いよ 身体蝕む毒薬 溶けてく苦い良薬 止まったSOS

Just kill me, kill me already Weeping from the corrupting poison The ones seeking salvation Are the angels clad in white

解毒と抗鬱の薬を 無償で譲ってくれないお医者様を 殺しました。

Antidotes and antidepressants Those doctors who wouldn’t give them up for free I killed them.

(Notes)

*The title, Dokusou, is composed of the kanji for poison, doku 毒, and funeral, sou 葬. I’ve looked everywhere, and I cannot figure out what this is supposed to mean. I don’t think it’s actually a word, and I can’t tell if it’s a pun on a word that actually exists either. So, I tried to make a cool-sounding English title using the meanings of the two Kanji.

FINAL THOUGHTS: I'd just quickly like to say that I’m so glad to see that, even without cutting down Jam’s screen time so drastically like they did in Magical Happy End, the other members all really stood out in this one! In retrospect, the special effects makeup was kind of genius. It makes everyone stand out effortlessly, but, of course, everyone’s performance is still a huge factor. They’ve definitely improved a ton! Keep it up, MADMED!!!

Now onto the fun part, the special effects makeup!! I have watched this video thousands of times now, so, even though I’m mad blind, I feel pretty confident in my judgements here. I also just really like yapping, as you already know, especially when it comes to MADMED.

ANALYSIS: All of the members "illnesses."

(Picture for reference--- taken from the MV)

Ayame’s (top left) theme is very evident here. Though I’m unsure of her exact theme or what to call it, instead of tweeting “good morning” in the morning, she says “あやめざめ” or “妖メ覚メ” — Ayame awakening, in the sense of “opening one’s eyes.” She also sometimes adds the eye emoji to it as well. I’m pretty sure her name, 妖メ, means “demon eye”, so, having eyes growing from her skin, though simple compared to the rest, is a pretty good fit. And, of course, it’s just freaky.

Tenlu (top middle) is supposed to look like a mermaid. She said it on X. She has these bubble-like things growing out of her skin, and each patch of these bubbles is surrounded by shiny blue scales that fade in and out of her skin. She also has pointed ears. Compared to the rest, she has a cleaner look, which makes her look more ethereal. So, I guess Tenlu's "illness" is turning her into a mermaid.

For Tora (top right), it’s a bit more difficult to tell what’s going on. She has these cracks all over her body, and some parts have these yellow and pink (?) sections. To me, she kind of looks like a cracked statue, honestly, but I’m not 100% sure on that. Particularly, the coloured parts are what make me the most unsure. It could also be that her "illness" is just causing her to crumble away.

Numa (bottom left) is covered in what looks like green jewels. Most of her face also seems to have a green tint. Since her colour is very similar to the tint of the set, it’s actually really hard to tell what I'm looking at here. Nevertheless, I, Science McGee, strongly believe that this "illness" is crystallisation— the solidification of liquid into crytals. It's the same process that creates snowflakes!

Peco (bottom right) takes the form of a creepy doll, or a person who’s been stitched up to look like one. Her face and the sides of her mouth have stitches, which, when her mouth is closed, makes it look a little bit like it’s sewn shut. She also has bows literally sewn into her skin, which is actually a bit unsettling. Peco’s look is definitely one of the more terrifying ones. I'm thinking that her "illness" is either turning her into a doll, or it's animation (as in doll coming to life). It could also be something that requires her to be stitched up again and again, maybe similar for the crumble theory I came up with for Tora's? So many possibilities....

Last, but not least, is Jam (bottom middle). To be frank with you, even after watching this millions of times, I still do not have even an inkling of what this is supposed to be. At first, I thought she was an amalgamation of all of the member's “illnesses,” but now I’m not so sure, because I don’t really see any similarities to Numa's. She has these bright red spots and cracks on her face, and, on her arms, she has more of those cracks as well as these bumps on her skin that would look like blisters if not for the weird “crust” surrounding them. There’s also spikes growing out of her skin too. The most terrifying special effects makeup is between her and Peco, for sure.

I really do be doing anything but talking about the meaning of the songs vro 🥀. And that typo was NOT intentional by the way. Anyways, I'm gonna try to keep up with new MAD'S iNK releases as well as I can from this point onwards, prioritising MVs over digital releases so that I can actually have time to get old stuff finished in between. Basically, what I'm saying is that I'm gonna do Mazari's new song next.
