I don’t know anything. Anything all.
I didn’t see anything. No one saw anything.
Even if you look up to the sky on a night where nothing can be seen,
the rabbit is there in the waning moon.

What is this, is that something?
It’s fun here, so it’s all OK.
I run, flee, set it free, avert my eyes
to where the moon wanes.

Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my…
Oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my, oh my…

Delusions, run rampant.
Creation, will not be reproached.
Impulses, remain unsettled.

But why, why, why, why I wonder?

“That’s the worst!”
Tear away those societal morals and dance!
No, “isn’t that just terrible!?”
Why, why, I say,
Something, something about this is heart-pounding.
“That’s the worst!”
I’m not doing this and that — just do whatever you want!
No, “isn’t that just terrible!?”
No, seriously,
“that’s the worst! worst! worst! worst! worst!”
O, oh…

Whether I wake or sleep, it follows me around;
the big, gaping, black hole
that lies on the other side of my consciousness.

I get it,
I get it,
I get it.

“I’ll forgive you.” “I can’t forgive you.” “I’ll forgive you.” “Forgive me.”
“That’s cute.” “Ehehe.” “Ufufu.” “That’s scary.”
Apple. Gorilla. Rakugo. Godzilla.
Camel. Big talk. Ramadan.

I swear, we didn’t see a thing!!
Didn’t say a word!! Didn’t hear a sound!! Really, it’s got nothing to do with us!!
One death to the light!! One month in the shadows!!
That unforgivable thought!! That noncompliant abnormality!!
Isn’t it about concealing it all and living on!!?

Actions, without a name.
Mania, without any meaning.
Self-satisfaction, for an eternity.

Is that, that, that,
that why?

“That’s the best!”
My brain is toughening up,
Break it into pieces and shout!
No, “isn’t that the best!?”
Why, why, you say,
Its prevalence is jumping up.
“That’s the best!”
It’s wonderful to fool around like weirdos,
Live how you want!
No, “isn’t that the best!?”
No, seriously,
“that’s the best! best! best! best! best!”
“YESSIR!!”

Ideas fr⓪m a l⓪ng, l⓪ng time ag⓪.

That’s,
That’s,
That’s the…

⓪ Responsibility Society
Neither me nor you are one bit involved.
⓪ Responsibility Society
As long as you’re having fun, it’s no problem!

As long as you do as you please, it’s A-OK!

I don’t know anything. Anything at all.
I didn’t see anything. No one saw anything.
My memories are mistaken, just a story from my dreams.
Let’s leave it at that… Well then!

Suicidal Sunflower - Shinsei Kamattechan (Shinitai Himawari / 死にたいひまわり)

Content Warnings: Domestic violence, abuse, suicide, violent thoughts, vomit Notes: This one's pretty rough.

楽しい過呼吸　泣かないでママ
貯まるゴミと食器と仲良く
成績下がってごめんね
首絞められてトイレで吐いたら

パパがママを思いっきりぶつ
ママは死ねと耳元で笑う
強力な痛み止めを飲んで
曇り空の公園へ行こうよ

ひまわりが咲いていくよ
頭をかち割ってほら
ひまわりが咲いていくよ
新しいあたし
葬式を開いて　お別れの寄せ書き
嘘泣き芝居で　最後まで愛してねっ
ちょっとくたばります

クラスで醜い悪臭を放つ
みんなあたしが怖いんだってさ
目つきも態度も冷めてて
楽しく遊んでるから
パパがママを思いっきりぶつ
ママは死ねと耳元で笑う
強力な痛み止めを飲んで
いっそ家族全員で首吊りましょ

ひまわりが咲いていくよ
頭をかち割ってほら
ひまわりが咲いていくよ
新しいあたし
葬式を開いて　お線香に消臭剤
嘘泣き芝居で　最後まで愛してねっ
ちょっとくたばります

発芽した枝に登ってサルから生まれ変われました
あの世は実在しました　呪いは実在しました
だから「あんたが死んでも誰も悲しまないよ」って聞こえるように
お墓に問いかけてください、ねえ
あたしの死にたいひまわり
あたしの死にたいひまわり　
あたしの死にたいひまわり

あたしのさ、死にたいひまわり
みんなのママとパパも狂わせて
家庭を崩壊させてください
みんなが笑顔で生きたい世界があるから
とっても辛かったんだ
みんなも地獄に落とすから

A fun hyperventilation. Don’t cry, Mama.
Making friends with gathered garbage and tableware.
I’m sorry for letting my grades fall.
If I let my neck get strangled and throw up into the toilet…

Papa beats the shit out of Mama.
“Drop dead”, sneers Mama right by my ear.
I take a powerful painkiller.
Let’s go to a cloudy park.

Sunflowers are blooming.
Smash my head open, come on.
Sunflowers are blooming
Hold a funeral
for the new me. There’s a collection of written farewells.
With a stage play of fake tears, love me until the very end.
I’m a little exhausted.¹

In class, I give off a disgraceful stench.
I hear that everyone is scared of me.
Both the look in my eyes and my demeanour are becoming cold,
because I’m having fun playing around.

Papa beats the shit out of Mama.
“Drop dead,” sneers Mama right by my ear.
I take a powerful painkiller.
Better yet, let’s just have this whole family hang themselves.

Sunflowers are blooming.
Smash my head open, come on.
Sunflowers are blooming
Hold a funeral
for the new me. With incense to deodorise.
With a stage play of fake tears, love me until the very end.
I’m a little exhausted.

Reborn from a monkey, I climb the sprouting branches.
The afterlife truly existed. Curses truly existed.
That’s why, so I can hear “no one will be sad when you die,”
Ask it to my grave, okay?
My suicidal sunflower,
My suicidal sunflower,
My suicidal sunflower.

You are mine, aren’t you? Suicidal sunflower,
Please drive everyone’s mamas and papas mad,
and let their households crumble.
Since there exists a world where everyone wants to live with a smile,
It was super painful.
Since everyone is gonna go to hell too.

Translation notes

¹ The word used here for “exhausted”, くたばります, can also mean to drop dead in a derogatory sense.

ﾊｧﾄﾞｯｺｲ!!

さあ、ここらで本調子？
それとも、いつも通り？
いつもの通りの地べたを這い回って、
お願いよ、誰か私を拾って行って…

おにーさん！ちょっと遊びませんか？
人生の妙味、学びませんか！
…忙しいですか。そうですか。
(このままではもう死にそうですが…。)

あー。
掠れたアイライン、
あぶれたマイライフ
いつもいつでもあなたに会いたい
夢に乾杯、
ゆうべも惨敗、
稼ぐシャンパン、ワイン代。

嫌ー！！！！！
たかるなハエとカメ。
さっさと置いていけよ、金よ？金。
これも全部あなたのため！
ちゃんと責任取らなきゃダメ！

いまにみとけよ、

堂々と逃亡か？またまた…。
分かってるよね？あなたが私に

３・させかけたこと

さあ試合だ、察し合いだ、
のらりくらりは流石にイライラ。
紙と玉から現る神様、
永遠に我らを結べよ今から！

ねえ、乗ってよ相談。
この劣等感、
ショウダウン、
一刀両断
♥♥♥ 一生同伴！？♥♥♥
とりあえずは今日の晩餐、ごしょーばん！

ねえ、
置いて行くなんて嫌嫌よ
この可哀想な被害者を
ねえ、放って行くなんて嫌嫌よ
その行動、超大罪だよ

さあ、哀れな我ら救ってよ！神様！

Right, is that the normal condition around here?
Or is it the same as always?
Crawling around on the ground as usual,
I’m begging, can someone go pick me up?

Hey mister, wanna play around a bit?
Don’t you wanna learn about life’s charms!?
You’re busy? Is that so…
(But if this continues, I think I’m gonna die…)

Ahh.
Smudged eyeliner,
Messing up through my life,¹
Always, at all times, I want to see you.
Cheers to my dreams,
Last night, too, I suffered defeat,
The champagne I earn, I spend on wine.

I hate it!!!!!
Stop swarming, flies and turtles.
Hurry and leave it behind, the money, ‘kay? The money.
Even this was all for you!
You gotta take proper responsibility!

Just watch me now,
Just watch me now,
I’ll let everyone hear it,
This pianissimo that I make quietly echo!
The babies in the paper,
In the water,
In that trash can, in the…

Are you kidding!? I hate that you’re calling it off! I hate it!
Shamelessly running away from me, are you? There you go again…
You understand, don’t you? The things you

1. Did to me
2. Made me do
3. Almost made me do

So, this is a game, where guessing at each other’s the aim,
Naturally, your evasiveness pisses me off.
O God,² who emerges from sheets and tablets,³
Let us be joined together from now, for eternity!

Hey, give me some advice.
It’s a showdown,
with this inferiority complex,
I’ll slash it into two⁴
♥♥♥ So we can be together forever!? ♥♥♥
For now, let us share tonight’s dinner!

Hey,
The thought of you leaving me here, I hate, hate it!
To do that to this poor victim…
Hey, the thought of you abandoning me here, I hate, hate it!
That act is a super mortal sin, y’know.

Now, save my pitiful soul! Dear God!⁵

Translation notes

¹ While a more direct translation of this is more like “my failed life”, we decided to go with “messing up” as it retains the meaning of failed/spoiled whilst mirroring the smudged eyeliner line (an implication of ruined makeup due to crying or time passing from living that “failed life”)
² In our interpretation, this song is most likely a reference to the book “神待ち少女”, or “God-Waiting Girls” by Yukihiro Kuroba (黒羽幸宏). The book details real events related to young girls that sell their bodies for food and shelter as they await the arrival of their “God”.
³ “Sheets and tablets” in this case can either refer to drugs or physical money (bills and coins).
⁴ This is a four character compound which can also mean to “take decisive action”. This could signify the speaker taking decisive action to have a “showdown” against their inferiority complex and metaphorically “slash” it into two.
⁵ 神様 could be a three-way pun on “紙様”, which could be either “O great money” or “O great LSD (paper kind)”.

Welcome, Halloween Feast!!

Tonight, spin the trap
made from a spider’s web.
We lead you astray, let us bewitch you.¹
We beckon you towards this poison party night.

The sneering Jack-o’-Lantern
floats in the darkness.
The poison apple gleams in red.
If you find it curious,
then go on, take a bite. Take another.
The crazy spiders urge you on.

If you happen to be caught in the dangerous rubees’ trap,
never again will you be able to return…

The eerily glimmering honeymoon glows,
Helter-Spider, be in danger!
We’ve prepared a sweet, sweet poison,
that’ll make you utterly dizzy!²

An evil spirit oozes honey-coloured, just like a
Helter-Skelter, be inspired!
Become more, more, and more entangled,
and enjoy this mad dream.
Dance to this sweet nightmare.

Welcome, Halloween feast!!

In the excitement of the night,
if we spew up the strings of our true intentions,
there will be a swaying mirage of amber.
Whether tricks or treats,
we’ll end up wanting both.
Take prisoner both candy and dreams alike.

Before the costume parade ends,
Come with us, and never again shall we give you back…

Flames of allure flicker with the rhythm,
Helter-Spider, be in danger!
You’ve gone completely numb with our sweet, sweet poison.
Let’s clap, clap our hands together!³

While following your instincts, that’s right,
Helter-skelter, be inspired!
Relinquish more, more and more.⁴
Get down, dance freely
to this one night dream.

Tonight, spin the trap
made from a spider’s web.

Both the souls offered to the devil
and the angels make merry at our banquet.
If our trapped prey quietly whispers,
everyone will become captivated.

The eerily glimmering honeymoon glows,
Helter-Spider, be in danger!
We’ve prepared a sweet, sweet poison,
that’ll make you utterly dizzy!

An evil spirit oozes honey-coloured, just like a
Helter-Skelter, be inspired!
Become more, more, and more entangled,
and enjoy this mad dream.
Dance to this sweet nightmare.

Welcome, Halloween feast!!

Translation notes

¹ “Bewitch” could alternatively be “bewilder/confuse”
^{2, 3} “Clap! Clap!” sounds similar to クラクラ, meaning dizzy.
⁴ Depending on how you interpret this, you could read this as “Let loose more, more, and more.”

This false self exists, however,
My true self does not descend.
I hate places where the light shines.
This body has become accustomed to the night.

Clear up, clear up, transparent, transparent.
Suspended in the air, I’m soaring through the darkness.
By the time I grew big enough
to nearly reach the starry sky—

The sun rises, rises, rises, rises…
It seems that I cannot exist here.

The sun rises, rises, rises, rises…
Here, nothing but living creatures
are allowed to exist
(allowed to exist)
allowed to exist
(allowed to exist)
allowed to exist.

Even if I disappear, no one will realize.
Today, tomorrow, and the days after, the skies will be clear.
I beg, let the night stay as it is.
I cannot help but be so frightened of the morning sun.

The sun shines, shines, shines, shines…
It seems that I can’t be so out-of-place.

The sun shines, shines, shines, shines…
Here, that which does not reside in the light,
is not allowed to exist
(not allowed to exist)
not allowed to exist
(not allowed to exist)
not allowed to exist.

The sun rises, rises, rises, rises…
It seems that I cannot exist here.

二人出会い過ごした　記憶が騒ぐの

Friday 　待ちきれない weekend
Saturday 　今日の気分はフィーバー

子供のとき夢見た　未来は今なの
ですからハジけて　盛り上がりましょう

淡いドレスも　デフォ・ノースリーブも

褒めてくれなきゃ　すねちゃうよ

アゲアゲアゲアゲアゲイン

二つの世界つなぐ　虹色のメロディ wow oh

Sunday, the party where I fell in love with you.
Monday, was kinda feeling blue.

The memories of the time we spent together clamour in my head.
Let’s dance the rest of that day away!

Whether it’s stylish heels or a mini dress,
when it comes to your favourite cosplay, anything is OK!
If you’re getting bored and call for me,
We’ll leap out into the real city.

Pump it up-up-up-up again!
When you randomly remember this song,
It’s party-party-party-party-party time!
‘Cause I’m right by your side!

Pump it up-up-up-up again!
When I remember your smile,
I fall-fall-fall-fall-fall heads over heels in love!
I wanna feel that same rhythm.

Friday, can’t wait for the weekend.
Saturday, feeling over the moon today!

The future I dreamed of as a kid is right now, yeah?
So let’s swell up and burst with excitement!

Whether it’s a flowy dress or your usual sleeveless top,
when it comes to your favourite cosplay, anything is OK!
If you don’t compliment my outfit today, which is sparkling just a little,
I’ll definitely be grumpy about it!

Pump it up-up-up-up again!
When you hum this song out of nowhere,
It’s party-party-party-party-party time!
Shine bright, everyone!

Pump it up-up-up-up again!
When you seize a good opportunity,
I fall-fall-fall-fall-fall heads over heels in love!
I’m getting serious and upping my girl power here.

A rainbow-coloured melody connects the two worlds, woah-oh.

I wanna pump up-up-up my lovely everyday,
Not gonna worry at all tomorrow, nuh-uh.
To that tedious daily life, shake it shake it shake it down,
Super-duper-duper-duper awesome~!!

Pump it up-up-up-up again!
When you randomly remember this song,
It’s party-party-party-party-party time!
‘Cause I’m right by your side!

Pump it up-up-up-up again!
When I remember your smile,
I fall-fall-fall-fall-fall heads over heels in love!
I wanna feel that same rhythm.

Introduction!

I’m so unbelievably thirsty, so unbelievably thirsty.
An evening above 30°C’s unreal, global warming can’t be stopped.
No vending machines nearby, no way I’m walking all the way to a conbini.
They don’t sell soda in Akita, there’s nothing but namahage ‘round here.

300 yen’s pretty steep, huh?
Since that’s the case, hand over the good stuff instead.
Oi, gimme your strength.

Cider! Cider!
Cider! Cider! Mitsume Cider!¹
Cider! Cider!
Christ on a bike,² that fizz is so refreshing!
Cider! Cider!
Cider! Cider! Mitsume Cider!
Cider! Cider!
Cider! Mitsume Cider!

10PM passes and it’s suddenly midnight, and I’m on the edge ‘till 5AM tonight.
Gonna spend Saturday night with partying ghosts, though I don’t really fit in the afterlife.
I’m sure you understand, yes? Though as I thought, I’m being exposed anyway, huh?
This song doesn’t really have any meaning - I just wanna mosh, it’s got no meaning.

30,000 yen’s way too steep, huh?
The best thing you’ve got, hand it over.
Come on, gimme your danger.

Cider! Cider!
Cider! Cider! Mitsume Cider!
Cider! Cider!
Shake, evil spirit! Swaying phantom!³
Cider! Cider!
Cider! Cider! Mitsume Cider!
Cider! Cider! Cider! Cider!

He’s coming. He’s coming.
He’s coming. He’s coming.
He’s coming. He’s coming.
He’s coming. He’s coming.
He’s coming. He’s coming.
He’s coming. The final chorus is coming.

There exists a person who’d like to take a shotgun
to that guy’s head and eat him in a stew.

If I’m going to follow the class rules,
then I suppose I have to play friends.

At my 2PM psychiatrist appointment,
you’re there too, with your family.
And in the waiting room,
we’re both completely absent-minded, aren’t we?

Huh, seriously?!
When you say things like that,
I gotta wonder if you have any friends.
Huh, seriously?!
When you say things like that,
Do you even have any friends? Do you?
Seriously?!
When you say things like that,

Huh, seriously?!

Lately, things have
seemed pretty weird.
I don’t really know what to do.

I don’t need friends,
and everyone in my class is disgusting.

At my 2PM psychiatrist appointment,
you’re there too, with your family.

Those words fill the scenery during recess.

Do you even have any friends? Do you?

I go to 2PM psychiatrist appointment
with my family in the car.
I roll down the car window,
“The autumn sky is so beautiful.”

Uncaring, I jingle-jingle-jingle
the tambourine.
It sounds for the time being,
and I live for the time being.
Uncaring, I jingle-jingle-jingle

I hanged myself with it,

MELLOMELLOID - Kairiki Bear ft. Hatsune Miku (メロメロイド)

Content Warnings: Dark themes, emotional manipulation Notes: In the MV, the title changes to "メロメロイト" at the end, which references Mega Stones. You can TL this as "MELLOMELLITE"/"INFATUATITE". Also, There are a lot of references to Pokedex entries in this song, all subtle enough to slip past if not careful, but cross-referencing the lyrics with the JP entries, they're all the exact wording + the MV has the corresponding Pokemon on screen with the line.

Those who Sing songs of love, Follow Me. (I LOVE)
Everyone loves, loves your cute appeal, too.
Those who dance to songs of love, Follow Me. (MY LOVE)
Tick-tock, forget about the time passing and dance!

Meet my gaze more with those Baby Doll-Eyes. (I LOVE)
I love, love that you always do your absolute best, too.
Let me confuse you, meet my gaze more. (MY LOVE.)
I love, love that you can’t take your eyes off me.¹

Because of my looks, because of my emotions,
All of these feelings, because “you’re the only one…”

My head’s with a beam like lightning with a “bang!”
Huh?! No way, no way! My brain’s gonna melt - throb!
It’s so greedy that it’ll cause a headache,² this
throbbing, throbbing, throbbing, throbbing.

I’m going round and round, yearning for that sweet urge.

You’ve already become hopelessly Infatuated with these eyes, seriously,
I love, love you so much! (I LOVE)
All your cells are melting, melting with my love, my love!
No matter how hopelessly Infatuated you become with these eyes,
I’ll love, love you so much! (MY LOVE)
The fantasies,³ the fantasies are overflowing - I’m full to the brim with these feelings.

Head swimming, I-I love you!
A head swimming I need you, seriously, I love, love you, lo-lo-LOVE.
A head swimming “one more time!”
Head swimming, I-I love you!
A head swimming I need you, seriously, I love, love you, lo-lo-LOVE.
Head swimming, I seriously won’t ever let you go.⁴ I’m already head over heels in LOVE.
A head swimming I need you.

Those who Sing songs of love, Follow Me. (I LOVE)
I love, love everyone with a wavering heart!
Curb those feelings of wanting to steal whatever you please.
It’s starting to seem like that wavering, true nature is about to leap out.

Seriously, I love, love you. (I LOVE.)
Seriously, I love, love you. (MY LOVE.)
Seriously, I love, love you, love, love you, love

You gotta come meet me this week!
Waah, I’m so lonely! I’m crying, so gloomy…
Sniffle, sob, ‘till my face is bright red, that kinda thing…
…well, they’re totally Fake Tears, aren’t they? LOL

You’ve already become hopelessly Infatuated with these eyes,
and now vulnerable⁷, I gulp more down.⁸
All my cells are biting, biting - you’re so much that I could eat you up.
No matter how hopelessly Infatuated you become with these eyes,
now vulnerable, I’ll gulp more down.
My Disguise has been busted, and I’ve already completely gone wild.

Head swimming, in my panic, I black out!
I need you, already vulnerable, it’s a la-la-LIE.
A head swimming “are you ready?”
Head swimming, in my panic, I black out!
I need you, already vulnerable, it’s a la-la-LIE.
Head swimming, I seriously won’t ever let you go. It’s all a complete LIE.
A head swimming I need you.

Chomp.

Translation notes

¹ The two previous lines are references to other Mime Jr. dex entries (“It does its absolute best to mimic the movements and expressions of its opponents”), (“In an attempt to confuse its enemy…”) but having 3 links to the exact same Bulbapedia page/section in one paragraph is a bit unwieldy.
² Referencing Hatterene’s other Pokedex entry, “it emits psychic power strong enough to cause headaches”.
³ Perhaps coincidental, but the kanji for むげん, 夢幻 is also Mew’s name in Chinese.
⁴ This part of the Pokedex entry isn’t retained in any English localization, but this exact wording, “when it bites down it will never let go,” is referencing Mawile’s FRLG/X/Sword dex entry in Japanese.
⁵ This is referencing Alcremie’s SW/SH Pokedex entry, specifically its Ruby Swirl form, (it says おトクなフレーバー) but I struggled to simultaneously maintain the meaning of おトク whilst retaining how Alcremie’s Ruby Swirl Dex entry is localized. So, I just went with the actual meaning of おトク, “advantageous/bargain”. I’m… honestly not really sure what this is meant to mean in the context of the entry, “advantageous/bargain flavour”? The official English Dex entry localizes this as “a mixed flavor.”
⁶ 愛シテ is “love me” before the ル is tacked on the end there to change the meaning to “I love you”.
⁷ This was left in hiragana, but I think this is “隙だらけ”, an expression for “easily exploitable”. I think this expression usually refers to people who are easy to take advantage of in relationships and such. It was likely left in hiragana since 隙 is homonymous with 好き, “like/love”, in which case you could also read this as “covered in love”.
⁸ All the references of swallowing/gulping are referencing Mawile, a Pokemon which charms its foes with its cute face before chomping down on it. The Miku design and MV for this song all revolve around Mawile, which fits the general theme of the song: an idol (or… Pokemon Contest coordinator…) who hides selfishness/cruelty beneath a cute face.
