Nevertheless it rains

Holding out my hand to the sky

Now, I'm-

singing out my sorrow, cowered in the wind's embrace

From far away, a dream the sound of wind chimes [1]

This clear sky scenery overflows my heart

Day and night by the window, lost in reverie

I can't stop yawning

The class dismissal chime resounds

Such boisterous underachievers

I had forgotten my umbrella

"Ah, oh well"

Nevertheless it rains

Might as well get used to being drenched

Now, I'm-

singing out my sorrow, cowered in the wind's embrace

I can't push through this

I really, really wish I could

But oh well, I know it'll never come to be

Nevertheless it rains

Precious loafers all covered in mud

Took up my position at the familiar end of the bus stop

Head hung low

It's always, always just me

It's comforting

Love also, dreams as well, bonds too

It's all drowning in the rain

Pastel colored-

cute little teru teru bozu [2]

Now, I'm-

taking a stroll on the sandy beach shore

The feeling of walking barefoot resembles a summer memory

Overcast sky, the smell of altostratus clouds

Stirring up both fuzzy and vivid memories

Time to take a break under the shade of rocks

This may be my last chance

What an impatient moron

I had forgotten my umbrella

"Ah, oh well"

Nevertheless it rains

On my walk back home

Now, I'm-

still searching for something I lost

I don't understand

I really, really wish I could

But oh well, I know it'll never come to be

Nevertheless it rains

I never wore that raincoat I'd bought, but-

I prefer to dress lightly anyway

I had broken into a run

It's always, always just me

It's pleasant

Love also, dreams as well, bonds too

Forget it all, run, run, run! - I fell over

Nevertheless it rains

The sun begins to set, but-

you can't see it anyway

I do nothing but cry, it will always be a constant

It's so frustrating

"Revolution"

Nevertheless it rains

Might as well get used to being drenched

Now, I'm-

singing out my sorrow, cowered in the wind's embrace

I want to move on

If I really, really wish I could

Would it come true? I'll always be alone

Nevertheless it rains

Daybreak will end the night before long

Now, the sunrise-

arrogantly emulates the image of you

I won't give in

I really, really wish I could

If this can't reach you

I'll just have to take hold of you

Love also, dreams as well, bonds too

It's what makes the world smile-

seven prismatic colors with all its might

[1] - a few lines use "pillow words" which usually don't have concrete meanings and are flexible depending on the author's intent, (kind of similar to epithets in english) typically used for decorative purposes in certain forms of classic japanese literature. i've interpreted them the best i can, but i admittedly don't know all too much about classical poetry.

1 2 STEP Trample these feelings SKIP

3 4 CRY GIRL Gonna bite KISS

SICK SICK ENDLESS Stalemate SCENE

TRIP TRIP Lazily spread out CLICK

Hanging your head low as usual [1]

This body feels bone-dry and thirsty over and over again

I don't know, the more I repeat it the more constant it becomes

HAPPY? HAPPY Heh, it doesn't seem that way, does it?

That's a feeling unknown to me

Your appraisal of me solidified my heart

Your words coiled around me and shook me to my core

Momentary familiarity falls apart from the skepticism

This is your fault, any change you make is FAKE

Head is spinning, get rid of the poison

Heart is stumbling, what's your name?

Without knowing who we were, our bodies were stripped

I don't care about your intentions

C'mon, let's show our love for each other

Riddled with patches that'll fall away on the verge of satiation

Sorrow has begun to fall after dozens of shake outs

Verbal abuse and shame remain scattered around with it

Ugh, fine, just one break. Just to do it all over again afterwards

Hmph, try to keep up

Little by little I'm liking it more

Little by little emptiness surrounds me

Over and over I turn into nothing

Bits and pieces of these dark impulses

Completely untainted

Completely turned off

Even though you call out my name-

I can't make a smile rise to the surface

When and why did I become like this?

Sealing away my mistakes since they made me want to die

If you disappear, emptiness can't be seen in my future

Just a little, it looks a bit see-through

No matter how much I erase and wipe, it's never completely clean

Your appraisal of me solidified my heart while-

your words stained me black before I knew it

Momentary familiarity falls apart from the skepticism

This is your fault, you disgraceful, flawed, mistake - any change you make is FAKE

Don’t leave me here, I want to be by your side

How did I become this version of me, tallying up the pain

“Disappointment.” it’s almost like a catch-phrase

You won’t even call me by my name 

I was always being compared to someone else

You were always affectionate, but never to me 

I’ll turn you around again [1]

This isn’t a mistake, it’s not a mistake

Don’t be fooled into thinking that I’m a failure [2] 

I wish you’d hug me again like you used to, won’t you?

Don’t leave me here, I want to be by your side

How did I become this version of me, tallying up the pain

I don’t want to be a disappointment to you

Who’s to blame for my tears?

If I could be reborn at the push of a button

I wonder if I could be your favorite next time

I’ll turn you around again

I don’t wanna die, I don’t wanna die

It’s better to live hoping that your dreams won’t eat you alive

It’s better to give by stealing away from others

This is the only way, the only way

How could I be forgiven?

Mama, look! See, I’m amazing, aren’t I?

“There there, you’re a good boy!”

A faraway dream that spreads its wings wide, I can make it a reality [3]

This isn’t a mistake, it’s not a mistake

Don’t be fooled into thinking that I’m a failure

I wish you’d hug me again like you used to, won’t you?

Don’t leave me here, I want to be by your side

How did I become this version of me, tallying up the pain

This isn’t a mistake, it’s not a mistake

If I could be reborn at the push of a button

I’ll be your favorite next time

this is a translation of mine from 8/24/2022. i re-translated milgram’s "all-knowing and all-agony" because at the time i was personally unsatisfied with the original subtitles. milgram is a very lore heavy series, so please take this with an extra grain of salt.

[1] - this phrase is similar to “i’ll make you come around” in english. i decided to leave it as “turn around” because “come around” would imply that someone had to go somewhere if interpreted differently.

[2] - the word “デキソコナイ” is a simplified writing of “出来損ない” which means “a failure” or “poorly-done.” haruka seems to misunderstand certain words in his voice dramas due to them being too complex, and this may be a reference to that detail.

This sucks, it's the worst!

It's all your fault

We never asked to be born

It would be better if we never existed

But even so

It's all your fault

There's nowhere that we fit in or belong

Today's the day we fight back

I don't know if this is really what love is

As long as you're having fun, it's okay right?

I don't know anyone from this town

I just saw it on the news channel night after night

Here is where all "under the weather" kids like me [1]

Spend their time

I spent all my money on their uniform

Tons of sharp blades and drugs to fit in

If they'll fit in my bag…

It's time to depart

Yearning is…

That feeling that makes you squirm

It's eating away at me, I need money quick

I'm a bargain, so come back for more!

Thank you for your support!

You can, You can

You can never look me in the eyes!

The truth is, I already know why

Because, well…

These wounds only grow over time

Today and tomorrow, we'll keep chopping away

I am in shreds, body and soul

But I'm alive so

Happy or not, would you admit to a lie?

This is my last chance to run

I don't care if it's all just a dream

Let's hold hands to the end, okay?

I don't know if this is really what love is

As long as you're having fun, it's okay right?

Because, well…

I don't expect to live for much longer

How much am I even worth now?

I wonder how long I can stay in this city

She's gone now, it's funny how fast time flies

This is my last chance to run

If I fall any further…

Bye-bye to this world, I guess.

This sucks, it's the worst!

It's all your fault

I won't forgive you until the day I die, stop saying that!

It would be better if we had the chance to choose

But even so

It's all your fault

There's nowhere that we fit in or belong

Today's the day we fight back

At least, it should've been

No matter how many people you surround yourself with

Your heart will never feel full

I cry out for a love that I cannot even remember touching

Wasn't this city supposed to make me happy?

The outside world is terrifying

This is the only place I could go

Oh God, what am I supposed to do?!

So on and so forth for the rest of this life

Living at a dead-end

Ah, the despair and the disappointment

I'm used to it already

For this body with no wings

Hell would suit it perfectly

Someone's laughter rang in my ears

Just enjoy the moment, okay?

In the future, this city will crumble

Today, it has fallen into ruin

In the near future, we'll all die. You'll see!

this is a translation of mine from 7/27/2022. when this translation was made the video did not have subtitles, the upload now has broken subtitles a few hours after upload.

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

"I wanna die, I wanna die" You're already dead, though

Yet still, "I miss you, I miss you" will never go away

It always hurts, it hurts, it just can't fly! Why, Why!

The loneliness is all that remains

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

Stitch up the wounds, smear it with honey, over and over again, caux [1] this love

It's just a scratch, breathe in the honey, over and over again, I want to love

I think I'm becoming one

I love you! I love you! I love the rotten parts too

Why don't you become one too?

I love you! I love you! Let's keep it a secret between us

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

I can't hear your heart pounding anymore

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

You're still cold, no matter how tight we hug

It's no use if you've already turned

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

That itch to be caressed gently is gone

Biting doesn't even taste good anymore

A jackpot that spits out jealousy

Stitches are a hoax, no more peeking!

Stitch up the wounds, smear it with honey, over and over again, caux this love

It's just a scratch, breathe in the honey, over and over again, I want to love

If we become a couple

I love you! I love you! It's a good thing you can't die, huh?

If we really love each other

I love you! I love you! You wouldn't be here

I think I'm becoming one

I love you! I love you! I love the rotten parts too

Why don't you become one too?

I love you! I love you! Let's keep it a secret between us

If we become a couple

I love you! I love you! It's a good thing you can't die, huh?

If we really love each other

I love you! I love you! You wouldn't be here

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

I can't hear your heart pounding anymore

Waha! We're zombies, zombies!

You're still cold, no matter how tight we hug

It's no use if you've already turned

"I wanna die, I wanna die" You're already dead, though

Yet still, "I miss you, I miss you" will never go away

It always hurts, it hurts, it just can't fly! Why, Why!

The loneliness is all that remains

this is a translation of mine from 7/31/2022. i re-translated deco*27′s "zombies" because at the time i was personally unsatisfied with the original subtitles. i've decided to repost them here for archival purposes.

I’d tell you what my heart really thinks

If it would just report back to me

Those words and that smile make such a lively show

That didn’t make any sense, did it?

A long night with chartreuse dyed fireflies [1]

I said that I really wanted to see it

I wish I could be reborn again

So I could be more honest now

It'll still be the same thing tomorrow

Falling in love

Please make sure to go and get you

Before you come to meet me

“Maybe some other time.”

Because you said it like that

I wanted to see the fireflies

Something like this is just so easy for you

I'm a delinquent compared to you

The glow of the fireflies shine on the night of the full moon [2]

I can’t live like you

I wish I could be reborn again

So I could be more dazzling now

I’m still the same as before

Take my hand

I’ll keep running until the world stands still

Even though it’s stopped

Ah- that’s right

I’m more than who I was before

We’re getting closer to the fireflies

I think I can show you the depths of my heart now

I don’t know what this feeling is but

I think I want you to smile

I know I want you to smile!

This warmth of light on my back

If it could light up my heart then

Please don’t turn it off!

I want to conceal it with a ribbon of gold

I want to keep it hidden away

Only for me

I’m the only one who needs to know

The fireflies were here

From now even until when we become adults

I’ll keep that feeling in my heart

If I were asked about it I’d say that

The fireflies never came

this is a translation of mine from 01/09/2022. this was created before the official subtitles released. i've decided to repost them here for archival purposes.

[1] - i originally translated this as "yellow-green" but realized "chartreuse" would fit much better after the official subtitles had released. it has been changed accordingly.
