#Summering

[festaventurine]

So, from what I get from Summering and its MV, it isn't technically a KagePro song, but rather Jin's final, closing love letter to KagePro itself as well as technically thanking the fans that grew up with KagePro.

Especially knowing he could not legally do more with Kagerou Project and its characters anymore, I feel like this song is mostly him and Sidu trying to get a closure for their long journey as the creators of KagePro within the legal boundaries they could be without getting in trouble.

I'll translate it eventually. (Miku's voice is really hard to decipher here, but there's official lyrics at least, yay???)

「拝啓、My Dxxr」

「*Dear, My Dxxr」

*入道雲はきっと 紙に描いた落書きでした Surely, those *cumulonimbus clouds were merely scribbles on papers

嗄れた声はきっと 聞き違いの耳鳴りでした Those hoarse voice was surely just some misheard ringings

息が詰まる程 目を覆いたくなる程 Until I can’t breathe anymore So much that I just want to close my eyes

全部が綺麗でした 彼れを如何と呼ぶんでしょう Everything that was so beautiful I wonder what they call them

君は You are

追想 錆びた鉄橋 人知れず足を向けました A recollection of that rusty bridge that I secretly head towards

湿気った匂いがきっと 逸れ者の逃げ場所でした Surely, that damp odor was an escape for the outcasts

薄い缶バッヂも すぐ剥がれたシールも 全部 ��物だったのです Those thin badges, and those peeled off stickers too, were all once treasures

いつしか、真面になったんだ 其れが何でか、本当に 時折、恐ろしくなるのです Before I realized, I became more proper I don’t know why it is, really Occasionally, it becomes terrifying

バイバイ、My Dxxr 如何か、汚れないでいて 真っ青な風景に 繊細な儘でいて Bye bye, my Dxxr Somehow, please don’t get dirtied In that deep blue scenery Please just remain as is

過ぎ去る夏が 息を止めた頃に 今更、後悔に耽たのです In that passing summer when I stopped to catch my breath now, I’ve gotten lost in regret

降る、夕立に 晴れ上がりが覗く 厭に澄んだ風合いと匂いのまま In that evening shower the clearing sky peeked trough with it’s awfully clearness and odor

潸然、頬を打った*群青に 気が付けど The *blue that struck my tearful face I noticed it, but

悲しい哉、忽然と 去ってしまうのです It’s sad to say, but suddenly They’re gone

*拝啓 僕はきっと 馬鹿にされるのが嫌でした *Dear, I must have hated of being made fun of

陰気な奴とずっと 虐められるのが嫌でした With that gloomy guy, always hated of being made fun of

だから、愛しくて 手に余る物全部を That’s why I love it so much all those things that I can’t have

全部 置き去りに 生きたのです By leaving it all behind I’ve managed to to live

降る、夕立に 晴れ上がりが覗く In that evening shower the clearing sky peeked trough

吸って吐いた*群青に 溺れそうな程 I breathed in that *blue so much that I felt like drowning

卑しい哉、思うのです ずっと ‘How vile’ those thoughts were always there

*怱々 *(See notes)

バイバイ、My Dxxr 如何か、忘れないでいて 真っ青な風景に 傷を遺していて Bye bye, my Dxxr Somehow, please don’t forget in that deep blue scenery leaving behind a scar

過ぎ去る夏を 何度も書き捨てて 失う決心が付いたのです In that passing summer no matter how many times I write and throw it away I’ve already made up my mind

*入道雲はきっと 僕の描いた落書きでした Surely, those *cumulonimbus clouds were merely some scribbles I did

歪んだ空もきっと 一人分の幻でした That distorted sky is surely just an illusion for that person alone

触れれば、痛む程 目を背けたくなる程 Until it hurts to touch So much that I just want to close my eyes

全部 本物に 見えたのです It seems that everything was real

Notes :

拝啓 by itself already means "dear" (used as in ‘dear sir’, or ���to whom it may concern’) that is usually seen in the beginning of a letter

入道雲 (cumulonimbus cloud) is a big puff of cloud that you can usually see in summer and are also in most of this MV’s background

The more direct translation for 群青 is actually ultramarine

Meaning, to hurriedly or can be used to close a letter “yours sincerely"

Gay Son Thot Daughter

My baby daughter got her adorable puffin-print dress absolutely CAKED in mud crawling around the yard and my first thought was "oh no her beautiful dress"

And my second thought was "oh huh it really WOULD be easy to unconsciously steer her away from playing in the dirt. Unlike my son, whose outfits are usually some kind of solid dark easily washed pants plus a shirt that doesn't trail in the dirt like a dress does."

Anyway something something gender roles start getting shoved on kids from literal birth, but with a little time to think about things, YOU TOO can let your children of any gender absolutely destroy their clothes in the dirt pit they're digging in your garden
