ENG Translation: Title: Ornament

Shall I become a freak show? Wailing in the box. Shall I smile as an ornament? There’s apparently a lot of demand for that stuff.

I suck at appealing to others So people often forget my birthday. Find the signboard next to my cage And write it down with my name.

Rather than being viewed with curiosity They say it’s more stressful when no one comes. I get that. I do.

Hey, look at me! Hey, look! Don’t look away. I’m singing like my life depends on it, but I bet you won’t lift a finger. Hey, look at me! Hey, look! Don’t you blink. Let me remain an absurd false image.

They say I’m an endangered species. Hilarious. Is that even a thing? For whose sake was that statistic taken for? A dignity that wasn’t protected.

The kinematograph dances On top of the dull red carpet. I’ll quit this crowdless monkey show.

Title: “So Boring”

I’m alone in a dark room

Because it feels comfortable.

I want to forget about everything

So I’m just sitting here without thinking of anything.

Hey, don’t bother me.

I won’t let anyone get in the way.

I mean, I just can’t give up.

That’s right, that’s fine.

It feels good to know you think of me.*

But it’s just so boring, so boring, so boring.

That’s right, it’s just so boring, so boring, so boring.

Oh baby

Why why

Won’t you look my way?

Even though I’ve always been more considerate of you

than anyone else.

I forget myself and chase after you as you leave.

Ah, why, why

Do you look at me like that?

If only I could hate you.

But you know, I just can’t.

Spring is here, and then it’ll be summer.

I’ll probably remember

That day and that time again.

Hey, why did you change?

Please let me go.

That’s why I don’t want you to get in my way.*

It’s so painful that I can’t stand it.

That’s right, that’s fine,

I unconsciously search for you.

But it’s just so boring, so boring, so boring.

That’s right, it’s just so boring, so boring, so boring.

Oh baby

Why, why

Did you go off on your own?

I loved the way you always smiled.

I’m once again recalling the memories we shared.

Aah, why, why

Won’t you say anything?

I’d rather have kept my hopes up.

But it turned out to be for nothing.

I want to see you again.

I want to talk with you again.

I want to go out with you again.

I want to...

But it’s just so boring, so boring, so boring.

That’s right, it’s just so boring, so boring, so boring.

Oh baby

Why, why

Won’t you look my way?

Even though I always noticed you

Sooner than anyone else.

I’ll forever chase after you as you leave.

Aah, why, why

Aren’t you here by my side anymore?

If only I could hate you.

But you know, I just couldn’t.

A life like that is just so boring.

Notes:

*This was probably the line I was most unsure of. I thought of “It feels good to know that you’re aware of me,” but that’s kind of odd. I went with a simple “think” because technically if you’re aware of someone, that means you’re thinking of them on some level...I suppose.

ENG Translation Title: P.S. Victor Frankenstein

I don’t even need a name, so Please create someone who can understand me. Just one person, just one, is fine, Victor.

The lives of a pest and a beloved cat are not equivalent But with what do humans use to make that distinction? Is it if they have a heart? Memories? Communication? It’s none of those. It’s by whether they have a loveable appearance, and therefore, discrimination.

Because “ugliness” has been weeded out in this “beautiful world People looked like they were full of love, but With eyes free of impurity, they pelted me with stones the moment they saw me Saying they hated me, even though we hadn’t even spoken yet.

I don’t even need a name, so Please create someone who can understand me. Just one person, just one, is fine. See, this emotion with a name Is overflowing from my patchwork heart, so Please give me love. Please give me mutual love.

I ask Why did you create life? Why did you create it and then abandon it? Did I say, “I want to be born” To you? Hey, understand my loneliness. Free me from the despair coiling around me. I dream about small things like sharing soup on a cold night.

I don’t even need a name, so Please create someone who can understand me. Although just one person, just one, is fine, I knew deep down That this wish wouldn’t be granted Since this is not even what I really want.
