More Yuri, More Manga

It's been a year since I embarked on my journey to read more yuri manga and it's time for a second update!

After all the yuri manga I read for my previous post, I set my eyes on josei and came to the conclusion that josei that either focuses on wlw or contains wlw relationships, is the best kind of manga there is. I read a lot of josei, and as for works that were also yuri, I read Love My Life, Indigo Blue and Free Soul by Yamaji Ebine, based on a recommendation from @theurbanfuturesoftherecentpast (thank you!!!). Yamaji Ebine has a neat minimalist style and she writes messy complex characters. All her manga had a realistic feel to them, which I enjoyed.

I explored other queer works and stumbled upon Yuri to Koe to Kaze Matoi by Renjouji Mei, which is a yuri manga focused on two asexual women and their relationship. Once again, I found the characters highly relatable and realistic. It's nice to see some asexual representation, but at the same time, I wouldn't have minded more development between them, although that might be on me and the expectations I have when I pick up a new yuri title, that unfortunately didn't fit this manga or topic. Both characters were ace, but the protagonist felt romantic attraction whereas her crush didn't. While they got a happy ending, I didn't feel fully satisfied, and would've liked if the manga had explored the partially unresolved feelings more, mostly due to personal reasons, even if the conclusion would've been the same (which it probably would've).

Back to some high school yuri, I finished Omoi no Kakera by Takemiya Jin, which I actually started reading early last year. It's another manga that's relatable to me, as it portrays characters with different sexualities, who befriend each other due to the shared experience of being young, closeted queer people. We got wlw/mlm solidarity, and characters who are more secure with their sexualities looking over those who are still trying to figure theirs out. The interactions and communities reminded me of the queer youth group I used to be part of :') In addition to that, I liked the portrayal of different kinds of attraction, and how the focus was on the life of a queer person, rather than a specific romance they experienced, since there's indeed more to being queer than some singular love story. Out of all the manga on this list, this is one of my top recommendations, and at some point I should check out Takemiya's other works. She's out as a lesbian, and you can tell she writes based on lived queer experiences.

One day when I didn't have anything else to read, I picked up Luminous=Blue by Iwami Kyoko (same author as Kyou wa Kanojo ga Inai kara). It had the same beautiful artstyle as Kyou wa Kanojo ga Inai kara, was slightly less toxic, but equally messy when it came to the relationships. Luminous=Blue is about a transfer student who loves photography. She starts taking photos of her two new classmates, who unbeknownst to her used to go out with each other, and still harbour some lingering feelings towards each other. I was a fan of the different relationship dynamics and happy with the direction the manga and the relationships took, although the last pages included a twist which felt a little out of place. It's a shame, because if it had been given more time, it could've been a very interesting and welcome development, and I'm curious if Kyou wa Kanojo ga Inai kara will go in a similar direction, since it has the prerequisites for it.

I also read Toumei na Usui Mizuiro ni by the same author, which had an interesting premise of a girl with a crush on her female childhood friend, who was dating their other, male childhood friend. Normally I like this kind of setting with love triangles that include both straight and queer relationships, but since this was only 3 chapters long, the characters and their dynamics weren't established enough for the story to feel as cohesive and satisfying as it could've. At least the art was gorgeous once again, and I enjoyed the messy relationships. The volume contained two one shots as well, which I think were kinda fun, but I cannot remember that well anymore.

Next up, I read Moonlight Flowers by Tsukumo Mutsumi, based on a personal recommendation from someone who has since escaped tumblr. It's one of the older yuri works there are, as it was written in 1989. It's only one volume long and contains two stories about women who are pressured to marry men, and end up in miserable marriages, until they decide to leave their husbands to be with the women they love. It has a strong feminist message and I've seen a lot of people praise it online, but I wasn't too fond of it. I couldn't quite connect with the characters, and because of that, I didn't particularly enjoy reading about women lacking rights, or homosexuality not being socially accepted. However, I can see how others might be able to feel inspired or empowered reading about characters who overcome the obstacles in their way. It was also quite dramatic, but I will always be in favour of that (even when it's ridiculous, like it was here).

I continued with Sakura no Sono by Yoshida Akimi, which was another recommendation from the same person. It's another old manga, first published in 1985, about the romances of four girls in a drama club of an all girls high school. I found Yoshida's style charming, but it's not among my personal favourites. Some characters looked quite similar and were hard to distinguish. It was disappointing to realise that only one chapter focused on a girl crushing on another girl, while the other romances and the majority of the manga were about straight characters/relationships. If I would've known that from the start, I could've adjusted my expectations accordingly, which is a shame, because now I'm mostly disappointed by the lack of yuri, and it's harder for me to appreciate the work as a whole. It was decent, but quite forgettable.

Then I completed Watashi no Muchi na Watashi no Michi by Momono Moto (same author as Yuunagi Marbled and Kimi Koi Limit from my previous post). I first started reading it 5 years ago, but didn't finish it due to the scanlation taking its sweet time. Now I read it from start to finish. It's about a woman in her early 20's, who's spent all her life pleasing others, and is on the path to marry a male childhood friend of hers, simply out of duty to him and her mom, before her female coworker steps in and swoops her away. The manga takes a weird turn after that, as it turns out the coworker might've had some ulterior motives getting close to our protagonist, but it's interesting, until a somewhat abrupt ending. It was nice to read about a young adult who never cared for romance until she fell in love with her coworker, and for once I didn't even mind the plot point where she was about to marry a man, since it made sense for them and he wasn't overly vilified for how he reacted to her rejection or the reveal of her relationship with another woman (not that it was great either). The art was nice and I liked all the characters. It wasn't anything groundbreaking, but it was a fun read.

Another recommendation from @theurbanfuturesoftherecentpast was Maka-Maka by Kishi Torajiro, an adult manga about the close relationship between two best friends, Jun and Nene. The manga is two volumes long with short chapters in full colour, which required some adjustment from me as I'm usually only reading manga in black and white. It didn't feel like any other yuri I've read, in a good way! My absolute favourite part was how comfortable Jun and Nene were with each other, with a strong mental connection, and frequent, casual sexual encounters. Their relationship felt real and I loved how they kept smiling throughout the sex scenes, which made for an interesting combination of wholesome and horny. I highly recommend this manga, as I'm still thinking about it months later...

Next up, I read Watashi no Sekai wo Kousei suru Chiri no You na Nani ka. by Amano Shuninta. It's about seven university students and their ever changing relationships. Once again, the protagonist was a whole mood as she complained about all her friends having boyfriends which she hated, having a very relatable crush on one of said friends, before getting to live the fantasy of ending up with her. I looooved the inclusion of a toxic lesbian (and her toxic lesbian clique) who would sleep around and toy with others, letting lesbians be flawed people too, but also having wholesome and genuinely good people in the cast, as a counterbalance and showcase of the whole spectrum of different people with different views on love and sex (especially fitting for the university age/setting). There were happy times, but also angst and heartbreak, and bittersweet love, between women who truly cared for each other, but weren't suitable for each other as they had different needs when it came to their relationship and sex life. At first it was a little challenging to keep track of seven different characters, but by the end of it I really enjoyed the various relationship dynamics and the somewhat unlikely friendships that formed between them.

I also read Sweet Guilty Love Bites by Amano Shuninta, which consisted of three short stories about four cabaret girls. The first story was about one of the cabaret girls taking in a random woman she came across, which I didn't care for that much. The second story was about a single mother who unknown to her, hooked up with her child's kindergarten teacher. First she freaked out, thinking she'd be judged for her profession, but the kindergarten teacher was chill and only looking to date her. It was very sweet to see them take care of the child together. I also loved the third story about two cabaret girls who were best friends and roommates, with one of them being very vocal about her love towards women and other cabaret girls, which is a trait I always appreciate. Seeing her pining for her friend/roommate/coworker was great, and precisely the kind of stuff I love! Amano has a lot more in her library and after enjoying these two manga, I think the rest are worth checking out as well. I especially like how her characters are allowed to be horny, but there’s more to her manga than just sex.

Then I picked up Kimi to Shiranai Natsu ni Naru by Keyyan, thanks to the premise which sounded relatable. It’s about two women who are at the end of their university studies and looking for work in Tokyo, facing rejection after rejection. They’ve had enough of it and decide to run away from all the expectations and responsibilities to a small island. First of all, what a mood. Second, I really liked the art, especially the character expressions, and how well their excitement was conveyed. The island setting was also A+, and I loved the portrayal of young adults who were in an established relationship, with no uncertainty or drama about the same-sex relationship itself. They were devoted to each other, and the reason both of them wanted to work hard, so they could provide for one another. Besides that, my feelings towards this manga went back and forth quite a lot. First I enjoyed the escapism, but then I had to take a break because it became too idealised with conveniences you can't count on in real life. Once I picked it back up again, I realised that the story actually does stick to reality, when the characters start to worry about money and finding permanent work on the island. While I was happy with that development, it backfired as I was reading this while I was away from home myself, and anxious about my own future in regards to my education and employment, so reading about their struggles felt a bit too real and stressful. Unfortunately, it seems like the series got axed, because the ending was sudden and can be interpreted in two opposing ways, one depressing, one hopeful, and neither fits the story I can only assume the series wanted to tell. It's still a manga worth reading, but maybe in the right mindset.

Although I try to stay away from ongoing works, Dore ga Koi ka ga Wakaranai by Oku Tamamushi seemed fun, so I couldn't help but check it out. It’s about a girl who is unable to confess to her high school crush of 3 years, and starts university determined to find a girlfriend. And oh boy does she find potential girlfriends! She instantly meets and falls for five different women, who also become enamoured with her. What follows is a bunch of flirting, some deliberate, some accidental. The catch is, she doesn't know which one to pursue seriously. The tone is lighthearted and comedic, and the series is best described by the tagline to one of the chapters as "an endless conveyor belt of yuri encounters". I like all the girls, the girls and their embarrassed or flustered expressions are very cute, and instead of the setting falling apart with five people never confessing or trying to seriously pursue the main girl, some do, while others have believable reasons to hold back. The pace is quick enough for any interruptions or miscommunications to not feel aggravating, with several encounters each chapter. I'm curious to see how the manga will continue and potentially end, with some ships seeming more likely than others, since there has been some actual development! I'll also throw it out there, that this manga is a good example of why dark haired girl/light haired girl is an established pairing, since the main pursuer at the moment has light hair and bangs like the protagonist, and it can be a little difficult to tell them apart from some panels or angles.

Another ongoing work I began reading because it ticked the right boxes for me was Sukeban to Tenkousei by Fujichika. As the name suggests, it’s about the somewhat unlikely relationship between a delinquent girl and a sweet transfer student. The manga is set in the Showa era in the 80s and has very charming art. I thought it would be pretty lighthearted and fun, opposites attract type of story, but then one of the characters saw how romantic love was defined as feelings towards the opposite sex, heartbroken by the fact there wasn't a name for her feelings, and I was in tears thinking of anyone who's ever felt that pain. Otherwise, it's mostly a comedy and a fun, easy read, with not that many chapters out yet.

Finally, reaching the anniversary of my year long yuri journey, I finished reading the manga adaptation of Murasakiiro no Qualia, by Ueo Hisamitsu and Tsunashima Shirou. It's a sci-fi series with psychological and mystery elements, about Yukari, a girl with purple eyes who sees humans as robots, and Gaku, the protagonist who befriends her. There are a lot of twists and turns to the story, and it gets gory and dark, as Yukari uses her abilities to help the police solve murder cases and later gets involved with a secret organisation. It's also very philosophical and a bit difficult/slow to read at times, when characters get surprisingly deep into quantum mechanics. I liked the narration a lot, because there's a lot of repetition and Gaku, who's telling the story, jumps back and forth on the timeline, giving the reader more context and insights each time. I was also a huge fan of the character development she went through, starting to exhibit truly unhinged behavior to a level that's hard to find elsewhere, but also oddly reminiscent of Madoka Magica? The ending was satisfying, and it was cool to see it circle back to the beginning. I didn't know anything about this manga beforehand and after a curious start, it kept getting better and better. I originally found out about it in the tags of a tumblr post complaining about variety in yuri, so this is me giving back to the community and passing on the recommendation.

...That was a lot more yuri to add to the library, and there are still so many different works I look forward to reading! I don't know if I'll continue documenting my journey, as I'm probably going to slow down on the yuri a bit, but who knows if the bug bites me again and I won't read anything else for months on end! Again, thank you for reading through all this, I hope you're inspired to read some yuri yourself, and if you have any recommendations I'm always happy to hear them!

露草[Tsuyukusa] Commelina communis

The name means the dew grass. The flowers are used in the herb dye called 露草染[Tsuyukusa-zome], which turns them a light blue color called 縹[Hanada] or 花浅葱[Hanaasagi], and the dye-soaked paper called 移花[Utushibana]. https://www.google.com/search?q=縹&udm=2

In this tanka, it appears that the first thing to emit the voice is Hanadagusa(s), or little Tsuyukusa(s), which raise their pretty purple eyes and say like children, "I'm happy" "I'm happy" "I'm happy".

There is a dodoitsu that goes like this:

IMPORTANT NOTES: EXTREMELY dubious line distribution. sue me for confusing their voices when im screaming my lungs out. i translated this in less than an hour be proud of me (or no bc i did this instead of studying for my entrance exams). subject to change if they Ever drop an mv for the context so or so. the title can be translated as husband and wife, which is what is used in the lyrics.

* bit of wordplay here. yujiro (wife) sings “anata” while aizo sings “omae” which are two different ways to say you. anata is often used by women and is also a bit affectionate especially for couples. i tried incoporating that in the tl.

this appears a few times again in the lyrics and to show their difference — my dear is used for the husband and my love is used for the wife.

** it's like saying they're meant to be but that's a little on the nose. this is as close as we get w/o the mv.

拝啓、ありきたりな日常。

haikei, arikitarina nichijou.

dear ordinary everyday

ドラマのワンシーンに変わったあの日から

dorama no wan shiin ni kawatta ano hi kara

until that day it became a scene out of a tv show

揺れる心のときめきに

yureru kokoro no tokimeki ni

in response to the excitement of my wavering heart

気の利いた言葉が出てこないな

ki no kiita kotoba ga detekonaina

i can't think of anything clever to say

考えたってわからない

kangaetatte wakaranai

no matter how much i think about it, i won't know

怖がったって進まない

kowagattatte susumanai

i won't make any progress if i'm afraid

だけどはじめては全部君がいい

dakedo hajimete wa zenbu kimi ga ii

but i want you to be all my firsts

逆らえない想いがここにあって

sakaraenai omoi ga koko ni atte

there's a feeling here i can't resist

絵空のような恋があって

e sora no youna koi ga atte

a love like a castle in the sky

真っ直ぐで不器用な僕らのストーリー

massugu de bukiyouna bokura no sutori

our awkwardly honest story

触れたい 聴きたい もっと知りたい

furetai kikitai motto shiritai

i want to touch, i want to listen, i want to know more

この想いはもう止まらないから

kono omoi wa mou tomaranaikara

because these feelings can't be stopped anymore

拝啓、曖昧な日常。

dear ambiguous everyday

君が心に触れてきたあの日から

until that day you touched my heart

抑えきれないドキドキに

osaekirenai dokidoki ni

in response to this excitement i can't control

我儘な言葉しか出てこないな

wagamamana kotoba shika detekonaina

all i can come up with are selfish words

焦ったって変わらない

asettatte kawaranai

[HoneyWorks] めおと (Meoto) / LIP×LIP - Eng/Kan/Rom Lyrics

(Ask permission first before using my translations!!)

💙 - Yujiro

💛 - Aizo

💋 - Yujiro/Aizo (LIP×LIP)

[💙]

I impatiently await for your return.

あなたの帰り待ちわびてしまう

Anata no kaeri machiwabite shimau

[💛]

My heart

私の心

Watashi no kokoro

[💋]

is yours and yours alone, my dear/love.

【あなた&お前】のものになってる

[Anata/omae] no mono ni natteru

[💙]

I know nothing about you.

Ah, I'm just getting married to you.

This is my only fate.

As I'm willing to sacrifice myself for the sake of the family.

あなたのことは何も知らない

Ah 嫁ぐだけ

これは定めよ

お家の為にこの身捨てるわ

Anata no koto wa nanimo shiranai

Ah totsugu dake

Kore wa sadame yo

Oiye no tame ni kono misuteru wa

[💛]

I have no interest in you,

and I don't hold any feelings for you.

I'll marry you but,

I'll never love you.

お前のことに興味などない

同情もない

めおとになるが

愛しはしない

Omae no koto ni kyōmi nado nai

Dōjō mo nai

Meoto ni naru ga

Aishi wa shinai

[💋]

As we are bounded by this political marriage.

政略の契り

Seiryaku no chigiri

[💙]

As everytime the snow melts,

雪が溶ける度に

Yuki ga tokeru tabi ni

[💛]

our hearts also melt.

心も溶けてく

Kokoro mo toketeku

[💙]

As we grow closer,

近くなっていく

Chikaku natte iku

[💛]

it became an ordinary to be in each other's presence.

当たり前の存在

Atarimae no sonzai

[💋]

Our unspoken words of love,

and our forms of love without constraints.

With our understanding of one another,

as wedded husband and wife, we walk foward till death do us part.

口にはしない愛の言葉も

束縛しない恋の形も

以心伝心

添い遂げ歩み出すめおと

Kuchi ni wa shinai ai no kotoba mo

Sokubaku shinai koi no katachi mo

Ishin denshin

Soitoge ayumidasu meoto

[💙]

I impatiently await for your return.

My heart is yours and yours alone, my dear.

あなたの帰り待ちわびてしまう

私の心あなたのものになってる

Anata no kaeri machiwabite shimau

Watashi no kokoro anata no mono ni natteru

[💛]

Are you feeling cold?

So that you won't catch a cold,

put this haori on.

As I felt your slender and pale shoulders,

I vowed to protect you.

寒くはないか？

風邪ひかぬよう

これを羽織りなさい

細くて白いその肩に触れ

守ると誓った

Samuku wa nai ka?

Kaze hi kanu yō

Kore o haorinasai

Hosokute shiroi sono kata ni fure

Mamoru to chikatta

[💙]

With that clumsy kindness of yours,

不器用な優しさ

Bukiyou na yasashisa

[💛]

and that brave front of yours.

強がりな性格

Tsuyogari na seikaku

[💙]

With that soothing voice,

落ち着くその声に

Ochitsuku sono koe ni

[💛]

The two of us fell inlove...

堕ちていった二人は…

Ochiteitta futari wa...

[💋]

We will never part away from each other's sides for eternity.

Even if in our next lives, we will be drawn to each other.

Like fallen petals in flowing water,

we support each other as husband and wife through difficulties.

離れはしないこの先永遠(とわ)に

来世だろうと引き寄せ合って

落花流水

困難も支え合うめおと

Hanare wa shinai kono saki towa ni

Raisei darou to hikiyoseatte

Rakka ryūsui

Konnan mo sasaeau meoto

[💛]

I fasten my pace as I rush back to you.

My heart is yours and yours alone, my love.

お前の元へ急ぎ帰る

私の心お前のものになってる

Omae no moto e isogi kaeru

Watashi no kokoro omae no mono ni natteru

[💙]

Cherry blossoms swirling through the wind in spring

桜吹雪いた春

Sakura fubukiita haru

[💛]

Cooling tinkles of wind chimes in summer

風鈴涼む夏

Fūrin suzumu natsu

[💙]

Autumn leaves changing color in fall

紅葉色づく秋

Kōyō irozuku aki

[💛]

Snow adorning us as we embraced in winter

雪化粧　寄り添う冬

Yuki geshō yorisou fuyu

[💙]

Our unspoken words of love,

口にはしない愛の言葉も

Kuchi ni wa shinai ai no kotoba mo

[💛]

and our forms of love without constraints.

束縛しない恋の形も

Sokubaku shinai koi no katachi mo

[💙]

With our understanding

以心

Ishin

[💛]

of one another,

伝心

denshin

[💙/💋]

as wedded husband and wife, we walk foward till death do us part.

My heart is yours and yours alone, my dear.

[Lyrics Translation] One Arms Reach from Laika - Kanade Izuru (feat. Kagamine Rin)

English Translation:

A space rocket launched by someone impatient Ended up chewing half of the moon alone And the radio cassette we were listening to– suddenly flew away

The neighborhood gathers as if they're cornering a bad witch from fairytales A space doggie was running towards, like a dressed-up basketball Foolish and slandering conversation quickly exhausted the mood Let's talk about something more interesting, time to catch the slope with both of your hands

After that some time passed, and as for that space rocket Took back half of the moon away No one surprisingly suspected anything, as they have accepted this change

Would you care to wait at the moon, perhaps I'll throw you praises for the cute astronaut suit you have The two juices I brought on a whim, though getting a sweet one may have been careless of me I wonder if I have gotten more gentle A melancholy mood has made me a big eater recently, you see Ah fly away, let's fly away

Before I knew the forgotten bookmark had sent us to a different worldline Was the love not enough or the heart is simply too heavy to bear, a splendid tug-of-war Though afraid of the upside-down views we saw of our city through the window Recently I had a lingering thought, that perhaps we should be apart

Would you care to wait at the moon, perhaps I'll jump straight so catch me with a swoop Hiding my unkempt hair and walking, maybe one day you would accept my everything And if I happen to be much gentle Let's stuff everything I've had until now including these game consoles And so we fly, so wait for me

A space rocket launched by someone impatient It said that they took half of the moon away And the chattering by those big-wigs quickly fades away

Would you care to wait at the moon, perhaps I'm gathering all of your love from this letter With the inflated balloon at hand, I found you who has been waiting at the back of the moon "See you!"

When the night comes, I'll go and see you As the city starts to be covered in shadows, I look over to that film's one-scene And so we fly, so wait for me Ah fly away, let's fly away

【Ng】 Glorious angels

【Ej】 This body, these lips,

【Sh】 My hair, my eyes, even the tips of my fingers,

【Ng】 All the emotions

【Ei】 I felt when I trembled

【Sh】 With joy

【All】 I’ll dedicate them to you alone… Ah

【All】 Don't mistake the meaning of loneliness and solitude

Even in “suffering”, you’re not alone

There’s a scenery I want to climb up to, grasp and show to you

I want to kiss you

At the highest point

【Ei】 It’s pride, “Don’t be afraid of change”, being stuck on the same place is no good

【Va】 So cool, I want to set an example with dignity while living life to the fullest

【Ya】 It's rule, It’s okay to let your impulses be exposed, let’s bare them tomorrow and stick to our beliefs

【Ki】 All right, let’s sing as our thirsty, aching hearts desire

【Ng】 Glorious angels

【Ej】 You were always by my side

【Sh】 On these adventures,

【Ng】 Always there to wrap me up

【Ei】 In happiness

【Sh】 And smiles,

【All】 And show me hope… Ah

【All】 Shine, miracles! Go across the sky and beyond!

Fly, wings of song!

Power, courage, resound on the musical notes

Believe and follow us

Into a new history

【Sh】 Even if we know that the end of the world

【Ng】 Is just around the corner,

【Ki】 Even if we lose our voices and can't stand up,

【Ej】 And even our tears dry up

【Ya】 Shall we become someone else's wings and

【Va】 And charm them flawlessly?

【Ei】 We swear it in HE★VENS’ name… Ah

【All】 Don't mistake the meaning of loneliness and solitude

Even in “suffering”, you’re not alone

Let's embrace eternity together,

Being loved and loving and calling it love

【All】 Shine, miracles! Go across the sky and beyond!

Fly, wings of song!

Power, courage, resound on the musical notes

Believe and follow us

Into a new history

I think Anon Q about Gege possibly changing the plot could stem from the Twitter drama that was caused by the leaks guy 2 days ago. He’s been uploading incorrect translations like the s2 OP lyrics(Koe and Koi debacle) which ended up being Koe. And most recently Seko's interview in Animage. His translation basically said that the s2 arc focuses on the “break up” of Gojo and Geto, which of course had Twitter in a dumpster fire. When Seko's implication was the complete opposite of that type of “break up” the leaks guy was referring to. Seko meant “to part ways with” or “break relations with.” The leaks guy knew what he was doing. Tbh I felt bad that twitter started attacking a fluent JP->EG translator who is always correct with their translations. That's why I can't with the StStg ship.

Ah I saw the drama, yeah. But I don't know if the ask was related to it though, since I don't know how long the ask have been in my askbox. I only opened the askbox yesterday after not opening tumblr for a good while lol

To be honest, I'm scared of that particular fandom in twitter (and english jjktwt in extension) so in twitter, I'm just your next-door crazy gacha gamer. However, translating thing does require your unbiased look on things. Not to mention Japanese is quite full of small nuances that can be taken out of context like that. S-san is a respectable translator and it's very out of line of them to attack S-san over a mere ship. We really need to leave each other alone

Sailor Moon Cosmos Movie - The Three Lights new song 「Star Line」 English Translation Breakdown Pt. 1

So I just finished translating the lyrics of the Three Lights new song 「Star Line」 and I wanted to break down all the nuanced language that was used (that machine translation won't tell you lol) because OH BOY does it add SO MUCH. Disclaimer that I'm no professional translator, so if there are any mistakes or additional meanings that I missed, please let me know!!

Let's jump right into it and start off with the first verse:

Amai koi no kaori matotte mo sono kokoro wa mitasarenai no kai? Oh you... oh you…

Even if I’m wearing the sweet fragrance of love Is there no way for me to satisfy your heart? Oh you… Oh you…

Here the Japanese uses the sentence ender "no kai" which is typically used towards children or...girlfriends. Just who is it we're talking to so intimately, HMMMM??

The next verse is more poetic:

Kimi no te ni sotto fureru dake de Sono hoshi no hikari de wakarunda It’s you… it’s you…

With just a gentle touch of your hand I can tell by that starlight It’s you… It’s you…

Now this is a very literal translation, but there's more to it than "I can tell by that starlight/the light of that star it's you..." We're not talking about the light of the stars above. In this case, that starlight is a direct result of the hands brushing--it's more akin to sparks flying. A more poetic translation would be something like "I can tell that you're the one from the sparks that fly when our hands brush" but I didn't want to wander too far from the original.

Moving into the bridge, we see something interesting going on with the kanji/given reading:

Hate shinai [sora] wo koe deaeta Furueta kimi no hāto wa hanasanai We fatefully met across an endless galaxy I’ll never let go of your trembling heart

Again, I went with a literal translation here according to the official lyrics as they were written. I chose to include "fatefully" as it sounded nicer than "per chance" which "deaeta" implies.

However, what's more interesting is what's going on with [sora] which means sky. I put it in brackets because the in the song they sing "sora/sky", but the official lyrics assign the kanji "galaxy" to the word. This adds context, clarifying that this meeting happened not only underneath this very sky, but rather across the entire universe/within this specific galaxy.

In case you weren't sure who this song is about, this detail gives you another hint: It's someone from a totally different galaxy.

I want to chip away slowly at the chorus because this next line holds so much meaning there are literal articles on the one phrase used here:

Koikogarezu ni kono ai ni Oborenayo oborenayo Longing so deeply for this love Don’t drown in it, don’t drown

The phrase "koikogareru" has VERY deep meaning. On the surface, it just means to be deeply in love with someone. HOWEVER, it also carries a strong sense of longing. There is sometimes the context of that love being out of reach or impossible, like with an upperclassman or even a teacher/instructor. This intense yearning can cause pain because of how overwhelming it can be, but in other cases it can simply be considered admiration. It depends on the context, which the rest of the phrase provides:

The second half of this sentence references that intense feeling of love, and follows up with the repetition of "don't drown in it [those feelings]" / "don't lose your head over it" doubling down on the sense of struggle against the feelings. This isn't just admiration, it's a feeling that is so deep they have to tell themselves over and over again that they mustn't drown/lose themselves in it.

This is the phrase that set me off on picking apart the nuances of the translation because it adds SO MUCH MEANING that English speakers would miss if they were just running things through machine translation, or just looking at a literal translation.

Anyway, I'll break down the rest of the chorus and get into verse two soon, but I'll leave things at that for now. If you'd like to see the whole translation I posted it here:

Please let me know if I missed anything or got something wrong!! I'd love to hear what other Japanese speakers think ^^
