REBEL ERA - Manjiro Sano & Ken Ryuguji

If you try to pick a fight with me-- I’ll take it and double it Crashing into each other as we aimed ahead Going solo just ain’t enough Sprint up that Stairway

No matter how stupid it was I chased after what I wanted most Embracing my fears and tears I reached toward the sky

Stomp those matching boots We’re not gonna sit on our hands-- our fiery HEARTS are overflowing Let loose those hands clasped behind your back Now, let’s hear it

We formed our REBEL ERA It’s not perfect So until then, we’ll race towards A world that’s yet to come

Tore through the canopy We answer with a cheer Cleared a path with our fists raised high So howl like a punk

Soon enough that little spark Will burn bright and light the way ahead Backed by our shared resolve We push through the dark Off Road

Gathered my broken heart And created our future While embracing the light and dark Maybe one day I’ll go back there

Speaking with the heat of our exhausts Putting our lives into it till the very end Never backing down Our new era is here

Headed for the REBEL ERA No matter how many times we get lost The blood in our veins leads the way

Sounds like bullshit, don’t it We’re nothing but The best of the worst So if you want it, shout out as if it were a dream

We formed our REBEL ERA It’s not perfect So until then, we’ll race towards A world that’s yet to come

Tore through the canopy We answer with a cheer Cleared a path with our fists raised high So howl like a punk

SCRAMBLE DAYS - Ken Ryuguji & Takashi Mitsuya

Those warm DAYS we wove together Sometimes they’d bite us back in the ass And I’d run through the alleyways Still with lights in my eyes

We made our marks In this chaotic town It’s never quiet But this is our home

As we meet again We dig into a Beef Rib Bowl I follow behind Sewing the past and present together

Boy Hood The graffiti we shared Will never fade away On that day our paths crossed Without a care in the world Let’s head back home, to my home With the same signs guiding us Carried by the gentle breeze and our impulses SCRAMBLE DAYS

With my hand clenched My fist; Made solely to protect Nothing won’t slip through Even the tiniest shards are cherished

When everyone washed ashore We became one big family And before I realized it, I was proud to call this my roots

Our bitter valley A playground in the dump Sometimes we need to escape And chase the salty sea breeze

Face Up As I look ahead, little by little We’re intertwined By our unbreakable ties and the place where we belong Let’s smile and keep going I hear the words “welcome home” Deep in my heart As we weave our days together with what lies in front of us

In these hectic days like a frenzied storm Even when I’m overwhelmed and drained I don’t need to say “goodnight” yet We break into another run together At the same speed

Boy Hood The graffiti we shared Will never fade away On that day our paths crossed Without a care in the world Let’s head back home, to my home With the same signs guiding us Carried by the gentle breeze and our impulses SCRAMBLE DAYS

[matchagyudon]

Scars - Takashi Mitsuya & Hakkai Shiba

The road stretches ahead towards the future As long as our path continues to unfold I’ll keep Going my way Because I don’t want this to end The pain still lingers From those days I regret But I ain’t gonna stop Till these scars are healed

I wonder what waits at the end Nobody knows for sure But with every step I take A new ray of light shines through

During the quietest moments The scars of the past echo in my heart Frustrated with my helplessness Still, I’ll keep going down this road

Your words light the path Just like the stars that gleam in the night sky I’m dreaming of a world I have yet to see

The road stretches ahead towards the future As long as our path continues to unfold I’ll keep Going my way Because I don’t want this to end The pain still lingers From those days I regret But I ain’t gonna stop Till these scars are healed

The hurt you bear from never hiding the truth Is proof that you’ve stayed true to yourself From then and here on out Yeah, even today carves new scars

The road stretches ahead towards the future As long as our path continues to unfold I’ll keep Going my way Because I don’t want this to end The pain still lingers From those days I regret But I ain’t gonna stop Till these scars are healed

[matchagyudon]

Missing Half - Keisuke Baji & Chifuyu Matsuno

The clouds still hang heavy over the wet asphalt As we sit down with the moonlight peaking through Face-to-face with our swollen faces, we laugh Saying it still hurts; Can we run a little farther? Towards the sea, we ran

The wind carries away our doubts and pain Your words will always reach me Echoing endlessly

Ah, when I close my eyes, I can still vividly recall everything Yesterday’s sky and the shining morning sun No matter where I am, it won’t change a thing I can run without any hesitations

Even if I can’t reach the backs of those that stand ahead Of the dreams we once spoke of, that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten

Rather than being stubborn and putting on a brave face I want to follow my heart and laugh as I please More freely than anyone in this world

The night is over, and the sea is stained red I’ll be going on ahead Just a little longer I still want to see this through

Ah, I still can’t reach no matter how hard I chase after you It’s not fair that you keep leaving me behind

Ah, when I close my eyes, I can still vividly recall everything Yesterday’s sky and the shining morning sun Even if reincarnation exists I hope we can still meet in this same town, just as we are

[matchagyudon]

PILGRIM - Keisuke Baji & Kazutora Hanemiya English Lyrics Translation

I’ve never been all that careful I pushed through only to break it again In the salty sea breeze, I can’t stop Those days that shone bright blue

With nowhere to go Only using these moments to fill the void When did I lose sight Of what’s ahead of the headlights

I can’t turn back Burdened by my frustrations and karma

Through all the stumbling and doubts And if we drift apart We can’t just put it behind us Even when they become a thing of the past

Those slightly cold days With the sound of our laughter Where things like righteousness or logic didn’t exist Are crystal clear in my memories

No matter how much junk I scrape up We won’t ever get there, just stuck in a loop Of our twisted perceptions clashing

All I ever wanted was to see your smile Yet with the sins of that day I’m bound by chains as the tomorrows pass me

Where do I go Faced with the endless crossroads before me

Before I knew it, our tangled feelings Faded into the sky After all the stealing and hurting, Who can I entrust them to?

Even if I can’t become a hero In my castle of rubble Will a gentle night come That overlooks my wrongs?

Through all the stumbling and doubts And if we drift apart We can’t just put it behind us Even when they become a thing of the past

Those slightly cold days With the sound of our laughter Where things like righteousness or logic didn’t exist Are crystal clear in my memories

Hi! A friend and I are cleaning up the crsm wiki and are currently in the process of overhauling lyrics formatting. We found that you had a translation of Moonlight Hormao on lyrical-nonsense and were wondering if it'd be ok to upload your tl onto the wiki (as you already have tls present there)?

I can understand your hesistance due to the explicit nature of the lyrics' contents, but we were planning on adding a Content Warning box onto the Moonlight Hormao page to mitigate the issue.

hello! thank you for asking :)

that's fine, yes! totally okay to put there with credit

godspeed to you guys updating the wiki, much love

Pomp and Gallantry - Jakurai Jinguji English Lyrics Translation

Now, do you understand what karma is? The glory and errors of my past days have been piling up Was I trapped because I wanted to be at ease?

Remorse, my guilty conscience, and self-sacrifice This is the conclusion to taking the easy way out The challenges that have been lying about are still untouched

In this Labryinth Wall Time or patience, are they no longer necessary? Is it easy to break free from here? Are you saying that life itself has no pain?

Is our answer, even now, that suffering in agony is inevitable? Is it said that we humans have ended conflict? So then, what in the world have we learned from history?

Life is a game, this embellishment is a joke Just when you think that you can’t take it anymore, The true scenario of your fate can be rewritten Strike out your languidness, and remove the overbearing shackles With my mic and charts, all that’s left is the love in my heart It’s not that those who believe are saved, But rather whether you can keep believing until you are saved

Inside of strength is tenderness, and within tenderness you can find strength The taste of defeat, like biting on sand, is now the spice of life

With these hands, certainly, with these hands I will wake them up This country’s heart is coming to an end And the only power that can revive it Would be love That is the only way we can wake them up With pomp and circumstance, today, we will be gallant too

The commotion of Shinjuku, noises mingling together Dissonance reverberating within the spiral of reincarnation This city is still in deep turmoil Whispering sweet temptations, fleeting pleasures

Like a weed hidden in a back alley, this flower is nameless, yet noble It sways gently in the breeze today, once more There is no other flower as strong as concrete

It was sudden, my heart became soaked The shock hit me like lightning “Obligation and self-awareness”, I was prepared for those two words From tragedy to comedy, the reasoning is reversed

To live, in itself, is love Life isn’t about winning or losing It’s about everything Now is the time to accept one another’s differences Why don’t we accept each other? Or to love each other?

Let’s return, once more, to the beginning Be rid of any doubt’s on the meaning of Life Life and soul, the contrast of finite and infinite The land that rises with its bestowed role

The voices that cry out as we plunged into the battlefield Even if my throat were to be slit, I will keep shouting For the happiness of myself and others, my altruistic heart keeps going on The timbre of world peace now sounds nostalgic Let it ring out

From this one microphone, this song will connect once again I am not offering words such as ostentation, vanity, or greed But my very life in itself, I am selling piece by piece Relish yourself to your heart’s content on my flesh and body

The contradictions and absurdity of our murky, chaotic society Drink it all in one gulp This is the essence of the power of words, true vitality, meaning and significance of life, To be inherited with abundance and triumph

There’s no need to be frightened or worry anymore If you have already put together that death is certain That even then you cannot escape the 7 Deadly Sins Calmly hold it close, just as you are, all your worries The future is waiting for us to complete our unfinished work Lying in wait, clearing their throats Eagerly waiting for as long as it takes

We will set a firm foundation for the new century to come When that time comes, we shall make a sound that will shake the heavens and the earth The land will split and crawling out of it will be song and dance The voice that we shouted at the moon, and felt as if it were in vain Will reach the moon in 32 days Devote yourself to the one before your eyes From the bottom of one’s heart to another, the seed of peace Together, slowly, one step at a time, we will move forward

We are all God’s creatures!

From now on, let us all entrust our lives to another, together!

Last Song of the Beginning - Hifumi Izanami English Lyrics Translation

Clad in armor, I turned away, pushing my courage aside I fooled myself that I was someone else when I wore that suit I want to heal you Let me make you smile I won’t let go of your hand I ask for nothing in return That’s what brings me happiness I’ll cast off the chains of these emotions And embrace the scars of my past Taking it all in Keep moving on The future’s possibilities are in bloom

It’s alright now These feelings I’ve found Yes, I’m not alone I realized at that time, so…

Last Song Goodbye to my weaker self No matter what happens I’ll take one step at a time I will overcome, and sing it now Last Song of the Beginning, Last Song Last Song of the Beginning, Last Song Last Song of the Beginning, Last Song Both hands, full with my gratitude… Last Song of the Beginning

Like an overflowing champagne tower Fleeting like the bubbles, it’ll disappear in an instant A binding self-sacrifice The intersection before dawn No matter how many times, I’ll Try again (No matter how many times, I’ll Try again) The overlapping skyscrapers shine like neon lights I’ll put my suit over your shoulders and hold you close Baby, no more cry You’re my sunshine Full of love

It’s alright now These feelings I’ve found I’m not alone I realized at that time, so…

Last Song Goodbye to my weaker self No matter what happens I’ll take one step at a time I will overcome, and sing it now Last Song of the Beginning, Last Song Last Song of the Beginning, Last Song Last Song of the Beginning, Last Song Both hands, full with my gratitude… Last Song of the Beginning

Andante - Doppo Kannonzaka English Lyrics Translation

Lately, I’ve found a way to move ahead once more, Just through peering into the subtleties of my heart The words I tossed aside, now float on the wind, I want to bundle them up and offer it to you

No longer can I see any similar faces as I walk through the waves of people I just really wanted to be like everyone else

Paying my electricity bill, every day is like walking on a tightrope In a country where nothing is equal, there’s only so much you can do The sound I wish for won’t ring out, it’s pathetic Perhaps you can hear the breathing of this city in the blooming flower beds Someone’s humming cuts through the fleeting breath, and I ask, “What is Happiness?”

I forced a smile on my face in the mirror, to pretend to be happy, To see if I could hypnotize myself into calling it love I wanted to be equal to you If I don’t have to walk alone, I wouldn’t mind braving the crowds, even for just a moment

In the silence, we move forward, one by one, toward the path of survival, A skyscraper pierces through the clouds and lightning, to clear the skies of Shinjuku

Childish emotions and fragile bodies, social systems and borderline expectations, This is the reality of a still suit until the half-price sticker is pressed on The dissonant and disorderly soundscape feels like a song that lulls me to sleep The gears I oil nightly creak on, like a rondo playing towards tomorrow

I don’t need to scream out anymore, The sound I wanted to drown out was the sound of my heartbeat, beating away Tomorrow I will put on my suit once more, Tighten my necktie, lace up my shoes, and let the notes carry my words

I forced a smile on my face in the mirror, to pretend to be happy, To see if I could hypnotize myself into calling it love I wanted to be equal to you If I don’t have to walk alone, I wouldn’t mind braving the crowds, even for just a moment

Lately, I’ve found a way to move ahead once more, Just through peering into the subtleties of my heart The words I tossed aside, now float on the wind, I’ll bundle them, for you

Lie - Gentaro Yumeno, English Lyrics Translation

TL Notes:

One of the inspirations for this piece is the poem “Lie” (uso) by Shuntaro Tanikawa. Here’s an abstract from JapanBookBank: Although 'lies are painful,' some people tell lies without hesitation. They loudly proclaim falsehoods and brazenly maintain their innocence. If one repeats a lie, does it eventually become the truth? This world seems to be filled with more falsehoods than truths. It's hard to imagine anyone in this world who never tells a lie. But why do people lie? There are lies we tell casually, lies we use to deceive, lies we tell to protect ourselves, and lies we tell in hopes of bringing happiness to others. Is there really a distinction between 'innocent lies' and 'lies that should never be told,' or 'good lies' and 'bad lies'? If there is, what is the difference? Can we measure them by standards of right and wrong, or by their weight? This picture book is a collaboration between the poet Shuntaro Tanikawa, who wrote the poem 'Lie' in 1988, and the illustrator Shinichi Nakayama. It tells the story of a boy who reflects on lies in various ways, delving deep into the recesses of his heart. It's a treasure of a book that reaches into the depths of one's soul and makes you want to revisit it from time to time.

Similar to the picture book, the official lyrics is written in hiragana. The picture book is in the point of view of a child. Normally, for someone as literate as Gentaro, and especially at his age, writing in hiragana is something akin to a child. I know Gentaro uses a variety of identifiers, but “boku” is also one that boys or younger males primarily use as well. All this to say.. This is a very vulnerable version of Gentaro.

Even if I were to lie, even if it were to come to light I shall not apologize I will not tell a lie that can be undone with an apology Even if no one knows, I do

Even if I were to lie, even if it were to come to light I shall not apologize I will not tell a lie that can be undone with an apology Even if no one knows

I will live with my lies Until I cannot lie anymore I will live with my lies Always longing for the truth Even if what I am saying is a lie The lies I tell feel like the truth Live, I will live I will lie over and over again

Even if I were to lie, even if it were to come to light I shall not apologize I will not tell a lie that can be undone with an apology Even if no one knows, I do

Even if I were to lie, even if it were to come to light I shall not apologize I will not tell a lie that can be undone with an apology Even if no one knows

Even if no one knows

I will undoubtedly lie My mother tells me not to Yet she’s lied before She knows how much lies can hurt Perhaps that is why

I will undoubtedly lie My mother tells me not to Yet she’s lied before She knows how much lies can hurt Perhaps that is why

Even if what I say is a lie The lies I tell feel like the truth Some truths can only be told as lies Perhaps if dogs were to speak Wouldn’t they too tell lies?

I will undoubtedly lie My mother tells me not to Yet she’s lied before She knows how much lies can hurt Perhaps that is why

Even if I were to lie, even if it were to come to light I shall not apologize I will not tell a lie that can be undone with an apology Even if no one knows, I do

Even if I were to lie, even if it were to come to light I shall not apologize I will not tell a lie that can be undone with an apology Even if no one knows

Even if I were to lie, even if it were to come to light I shall not apologize I will not tell a lie that can be undone with an apology Even if no one knows, I do

Even if I were to lie, even if it were to come to light I shall not apologize I will not tell a lie that can be undone with an apology Even if no one knows

Even if no one knows

I will live with my lies Until I cannot lie anymore Always longing for the truth I will lie over and over again Again And again

I will lie

"God in the Dice" - Dice Arisugawa, Hypnosis Microphone English Lyrics Translation

TL Note:

小判鮫 (kobanzame) is a type of shark that sucks. Remora. Sharksucker. Suckerfish. I opted to use bottomfeeder here instead for the simplicity of understanding without having to look it up. Just easier to understand (to me).

Time for the adrenaline to kick in With a grin on my face, can’t hide the trembling Flow’s in the Zone Microphone and a show Our rivals can’t even come close

When it all comes to a halt, pray to God No stress-- I’m the one who’ll win The rolls will Go my way I’ve placed a Full BET, takin’ all the chances here I don’t care; I’m just me The thrill of the dice that fuels my life The very last moment that leads to a jackpot Racin’ down champion road

(Love the life you live) Just like Back in the days (Live the life you love) I ain’t lost now (Love the life you live) I love it, All the way (Live the life you love) G.O.D God in the Dice

Shibuya Crossing- a swarm of people No one else’s colors can stain this life Once you’ve given your all, leave it up to the Gods Don’t call it a coincidence, ain’t no romance here Like bottomfeeders clinging to scraps After refusin’ the call, you’re now steppin’ up for the challenge We can’t be careless, this is just the beginning We’re the wild cards, feast your eyes on us God’s in the dice and details I’ll pay back double what I owe No matter how shitty the path lies before us I’ll love my Life till the very end Mics that can dethrone the powerful, this is our cue to turn the tables; Time for revolution It’s a risky try, to cross that Red Line All the heads in Shibuya-- Get High

I don’t care; I’m just me The thrill of the dice that fuels my life The very last moment that leads to a jackpot Racin’ down champion road

(Love the life you live) Just like Back in the days (Live the life you love) I ain’t lost now (Love the life you live) I love it, All the way (Live the life you love) G.O.D God in the Dice

The troubles I’ve buried deep I’ll fulfill the mission I’ve laid bare Don’t look away, keep watching Instantly Reset your Bad Mind-- complete Like a baton relay, see how our lyrics flow together Feeling refreshed and energized Rhymes come to mind when the timing is right We’ve got the Master Key to turn the tide in one sweep I hold this Mic that I chose From here on out this is my territory As expected, the positive image that just keeps giving The History that we’ve built together With instinct as my weapon, we’ll take our position This’ll be Shibuya’s Victory

When it all comes to a halt, pray to God No stress-- I’m the one who’ll win The rolls will Go my way I’ve placed a Full BET, takin’ all the chances here I don’t care; I’m just me The thrill of the dice that fuels my life The very last moment that leads to a jackpot Racin’ down champion road

(Love the life you live) Just like Back in the days (Live the life you love) I ain’t lost now (Love the life you live) I love it, All the way (Live the life you love) G.O.D God in the Dice

Just like Back in the days I ain’t lost now I love it, All the way G.O.D God in the Dice
