[Translation] Acid Black Cherry: エストエム (S&M)

That’s right, graphic D/s shit under the cut, I know you’re here for this YOU ANIMALS.

As ever, yasu’s use of kanji to make this so blatantly sexual is pretty damned obvious, so my translation makes things pretty obvious too (I like that more than including pages of translation notes anyway). But, fair warning to people who I know use my translations at times to learn Japanese! This is NOT the best song for that, because English kind of forces me to make the implications of some lines much more graphic–and a lot of them are based off of yasu’s particular brand of sexual imagery (扉を開いて, for example, even though it translates straight as opening a gate or door, has always been used ever since the JDA days to invoke a woman spreading her legs, and obviously in this song it works, so that is what I went with). You may recognize similar lines like the 私の中で生かせて from JDA’s 飢えた太陽; this line is particularly filthy because he actually puts the kanji 仕舞う for しまう which he had not done previously to really hammer it in from his previous comparison of sex to dancing to say HEY THIS IS A REALLY SEXUAL LINE GUYS. There’s a lot of that in this.

Knowing that the whole pop-culture S&M thing is super popular these days, I am sure kind of made a few people go ‘oh god not again’ when just the title was out… We can go on and on all day how screwed up it is that there is a thread in the story about L being abused (tropes that need to be stopped #31, the idea that sexual masochism is caused by previous abuse/as an answer to self harm, please), but if we just look at it as one person’s experience, I do agree with the idea that (most) submissives do identify as extensions of their dominants sexually, and it is a comfort to know that to them, no one can do it quite like you can; and there’s something about that very focused tableau that makes it almost comfortable for people (like me, frankly) who are of a certain type–it’s comforting to know that if you’re told to do something, and you try to do it, you’ll be rewarded for even just the effort in a tangible way. It’s not something that happens often these days. It’s a simplified version of that, but still has a lot more depth than 'baby whips and chains excite me because I’m all sexual and shit look at what a bad girl I am’.

Christ that got long. If you’re still here, lyrics below!

愛しさ

[prettichor]

i have too much love to share but constantly pouring them to the people i genuinely love without receiving any is so draining.

[prettichor]

berusaha ngasih afirmasi biar dia ga ngerasa unlovable ternyata akunya sendiri yang unlovable wkwkwk

[prettichor]

damn

[prettichor]

i mean i'm very aware it's weird to love someone without meeting them first but being the way i am i don't think i will ever experience true love.

i'm so full of love it hurts that i would love them unconditionally but i will never receive the same kind of love i give to them.

yeah. let's enjoy everything while it lasts.

[prettichor]

[prettichor]

[prettichor]
