Today... Japanese pop rock! #jpop

UGH THIS SONG WAS SO HARD TO TRANSLATE for realz T_T Aside from the many, many unfamiliar vocabs, I had to do a little bit of unlearning and learning, as well as reflecting (especially since this song is asking us to let loose and enjoy life without thinking of anything else). But with the many, many unfortunate events in my life recently, I really had a hard time getting into the "rejoice" mood.

Also so many comparisons made in this song which made it harder (and easier…in a way??) for me to translate (and understand the context) T_T

Anyhoo, as usual, may contain mistakes/inaccuracies.

セーブの効かないデータが消し飛びそうな脳を 思いやったとこで別に大した容量もないみたいだ シートで隠してヒートしそうな暗記の日々我慢の後で 染みついた「答え」 症気にしない方が難しいみたいだ

ボーイズビーなんとかの成れの果てが量産のロボットなんかじゃ 忍びないさ報われようか好きなだけせめて今だけ

満たされちゃいない 聞き分けの悪いクレーマーみたいな感じで OK 首肩の痛み と力み バキバキ心に グリスをぶち込むのなら今 奪われていたハイ すぐに返してちょうだいもうとっくに満期ですよね？Oh , yeah とりあえずちょっとだけ大顰蹙を買ってしまいそうな 100デシベルの心の声を鳴らす Let's Get Back To 人生 あくまで自分ペースで Get Back To 人生 Let's Get Back To 人生

丁寧に修正 ヘイトを浴びないように態度を 正し過ぎてしまって 「愛」も「嬌」も落っことしたみたい でもフェイスを上げて つんとした鼻の奥で世界は色付く ミスりながら生きよう 恥をかいてでもって思えるもの抱きしめて

ガールズビーがないとか揚げ足取りじゃ 博識風情も貧相だ 退けてメタな賛同の中で好きにだけ囲まれていて

躊躇ってたくない 危機管理の悪いプレイヤーみたいな感じでOK フルコンプじゃなくたって ノーダメージじゃなくたって もうクリア 星や ランクより欲しかったものは ぶっ壊れそうなこの瞬間 Ah

ドーパミンが嬉し泣く 全俺が君と踊りたがる 人の目耳憚らず 好きにして Please Rejoice, Let's Get Back To 人生

ドーパミンが嬉し泣く 全俺と君が報われる ちゃんと感はもう捨て去る 好きにしてPlease Rejoice, Let's Get Back To 人生 あくまで自分ペースで Get Back To 人生 好きにしてPlease Rejoice, Let's Get Back To 人生

Like a (computer that) deletes any unsaved data, My mind does the same with any unnecessary feelings, as if there's no more space for it After perservering through days of memorization, hidden behind sheets of papers (up until we overheat with exhaustion) It's now harder to ignore those answers that have been ingrained in us

(The inspirational phrase) "Boys, be ambitious!" has somewhat ended up with the mass production of robots* I can no longer endure this (robotic suffering); will I be (well) compensated for this? I just want to do what I want, even just for today

Like a complainant (at a bank, etc) making unreasonable and nonstop complaints, I feel unsatisfied, ok If someone's gonna pour grease on my painful neck and shoulders, as well as on my creaking and overworked heart, now's a good time The excitement that has been taken away from me, though immediately returned, was already way past its expiration date, right? Oh, yeah** For now, even for just a little while, even if it makes (some) people annoyed Let's release these voices from the deepest depths of our hearts and let it ring so loud (til it reaches 100 decibels) Let's get back to living life Up until the very end, in our own pace, (let's) get, get back, back to living Let's get back to living life

So as not to suffer from hatred, I tried my hardest to be careful and correct my attitude But it seems I've become too focused on being right, that I lost feelings of love and attraction But lift your face up - beyond such arrogance***, you'll see that the world's much more colorful Let's live life as we make mistakes, and fully embrace the shame (and other consequences that these mistakes) will bring to us

When one say that there's no such saying as "girls, be (ambitious)", it's just them nitpicking; it just shows their shallow understanding of things Don't listen to them - we only need approval from ourselves, so let's just surround ourselves with the things we like

I no longer want to hesitate, it's ok even if we seem like players who are bad at resolving a crisis Even if (the game's) not fully completed, nor we didn't achieve a flawless game More than wanting to clear this stage and ranking among the top players, what I really want to have Is this moment when we can break free

The dopamine makes me cry with happiness It also makes my whole being feel like wanting to leap with joy with you Without caring about what others may say Let's do whatever we want, please rejoice, let's get back to living life

The dopamine makes us cry with so much happiness, as if we've been (greatly) rewarded We can stop and do away with the formalities Let's just do whatever we want, please rejoice, let's get back to living life Up until the very end, in our own pace, (let's) get, get back, back to living Let's do whatever we want, please rejoice, let's get back to living life

T/N: *My interpretation for this line would be the slogan has been ~ruined~ because "robot-like people" has become the norm (for example: japanese salaryman, corporate slaves (*ehem*like me*ehem*), and the like), thus it seems that people are no longer aiming higher/ambitious with their dreams.

Additional context for the phrase:

Boys, be (ambitious) - a famous slogan in Japan (usually found in textbooks and posted around schools); said to have been shouted by William S. Clark to his students when he left Sapporo. The real origins of the quote are unclear, but it is said that the slogan/quote came from a longer message that reads: "Boys, be ambitious! Be ambitious not for money or for selfish aggrandizement, not for that evanescent thing which men call fame. Be ambitious for the attainment of all that a man ought to be.”

For more information about this, you may go and read the article on this link.

**Picture this - you have been looking forward for a trip (peak of excitement), but due to some circumstances, it was cancelled/postponed (excitement stolen). When the postponed date came, you no longer feel as excited as the previous time - it no longer feels the same (way past its expiration date)."

I can't give up on shaking your heart

Until my love reaches you beyond 'I love you'

Wait just a little longer

AAAA!! HiGeDan is back for S2! And Chifuyu riding Goki ; A ; !!!

So many feels.

The animation to the intro this time feels refined and they definitely used the softened line blur a lot more.
