Renai Reality Shou [Love Reality Syndrome] - CY8ER lyrics and translation

Usual disclaimer: I’m a JP student, not fluent, still learning. I also try not to do literal translations because it can feel stale. It’s more important to me to preserve the feeling than to give you a boring direct translation. Translation notes: A lot going on here. I made adjustments to some words to stick with the themes of medical/lovesickness/technology. 恋愛リアリティー症 (renai RIARITII shou): Love Reality Syndrome but also sounds to the ear like Love Reality Show. ふらふら (fura fura): used to describe unsteadiness/wobbling on your feet, but also being aimless, so I translated it as “wandering around” くらくら (kura kura): dizzy/giddy, combined with the following lyric 気持ち病んだ　 (kimochi yanda) meaning feeling sick. I smoothed it out as “feeling dizzy and sick” はらはら (hara hara): feeling anxious/nervous. To stay with the sickness theme, I translated this as “I’m strung out” 抑えきれない (osaekirenai): uncontrollable/irrepressible/uncontainable. For the medical context, I translated it as “incurable” 飛んでもLie (tonde mo Lie): This seems to be a play on words. とんでもない (tondemonai) means unthinkable, unbelievable (bullshit, even). The kanji used is from 飛ぶ (tobu) meaning to fly, and ない (nai) is swapped for Lie. So it looks like “even flying is a Lie”. I translated it as “ascension is a Lie” to fit the song and visuals. 見えないで賞 (mienai deshou): In the chorus, this interesting lyric sounds like 見えないでしょう (mienai deshou), where deshou is sort of a “should�� or “right?” conjugation of です (desu). So it sounds like “can’t be seen, right?”/”I can’t be seen, right?” but the しょう(shou) is swapped for the kanji 賞 (shou) meaning “prize/reward”. So I translated it as “you’ll never see me as a prize, huh?”

Announcement Regarding Eve & Graduation Letters for Willow

To all of our supporters, thank you for your ongoing support of Platinum Happy! While we’re hard at work behind the scenes on new releases and hope to have something new for you all to enjoy soon, we must announce with mixed emotions that Generation 1 member, Eve, has graduated from Platinum Happy to focus on her personal life. Eve has been an asset to Platinum Happy and has contributed so much to us since starting off in our first generation, and we would like to express our gratitude to Eve for everything she has done for us and the joy she has brought to the group! Below, you will find letters from current members to Eve, as well as graduation letters for former Generation 2 member, Willow, who graduated from the group in 2018.

Graduation Letters for Eve

Dear Iibu,

The things you create are truly wonderful, thank you for taking some time to create things with us over the years! You’ve introduced me to so many cool idol groups and songs, and our mutual love of rilakkuma and other cute stuff was always fun~

I appreciate your calming presence, and I’m super grateful I got to meet you, Eve!! If there’s ever anything you need me for, never hesitate to message me. I hope your future will be full of excitement and happiness!

SINCEREST, DEEPEST, TRULYYYY BEST WISHES!!

Alice

Eve,

I legit cried when I read you were graduating. You’ve been one of my favorite Purappi members from the BEGINNING. From the start, I fangirled over your voice, style and personality. You’re very talented but kind at the same time. An Idol with a heart as gold as your image color.

I know you’re off to bigger and brighter things, but I hope you’ll stop by to chat sometimes. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say Platinum Happy won’t be the same without you! (T＿T) Please don’t be a stranger! ♥ ♥

Love, Bea

Dear Eve,

I’m not EVEn sure where to begin here, and I don’t think a letter like this can succinctly describe the way I’m feeling, but the biggest sentiments I want to express to you are THANK YOU and YOU ARE AMAZING!

You’ve always been the kind of person who is quietly talented – rather than flaunting your crazy skills right up front, you’ve been weaving something grand with your talents in your own way until suddenly you’ve burst onto the scene, and everyone’s like, “This is amazing!” And it’s TRUE. Your music, your art, your ideas, and everything that you put your heart into turns out to be a masterpiece. You’ve done so much for Purappi, and I can’t thank you enough for being here with us and sharing your talents with the world alongside everyone here. You’ve been a cherished member and a cherished friend to us, and you’ve truly left a sort of golden touch on the group that we’ll never forget. We owe you so much!

On a personal note, thank you for being there to fangirl with me about CY8ER and alternative and tattooed idols and electronic J-pop and all of these fun things! You’ve always been so sweet and thoughtful – and always were at the ready to share exciting idol news (whether through fangirly messages between us or on PuraRadio)! After your graduation, I hope we continue to talk about these things!

I wish you nothing but the best, and I know your talents will take you so, so far. Good luck Eve, we will miss you so much!

Love, Bonnie

Hey Eve,

Honestly I’m at a loss as to what to write because I’m worried that it will turn into “noooo, please don’t leave.”

When gen one first came together, you were one of the only people I already knew. We kind of paired off because of that and because we have similar tastes in idols and are kind of awkward nerds, and I really do think of you as one of my closest friends. I’m so glad that we got to meet so many times and I really hope you come to Japan again soon because you are so fun to hang out with.

I think that it’s because of you that I was able to really do anything at all in Purappi. Having you around was what encouraged me to break out of my shell with both the other members behind the scenes and be more of the weirdo in front of the camera, too. Because you were there to share ideas with me I was able to come up with my own and try them out. And of course you were always my partner in crime for PuraRadio and PuraStreaming. You’ve always been a huge part of the group to me, and I’m sure that goes for the other members as well.

And you honestly have had such a big impact on us. After all, “Platinum de Somete” is something you gave us! I guess what I’m trying to say is thank you so much for being a part of Platinum Happy with me.

Of course I can still talk to you whenever and I will, don’t you doubt that! Seriously. BFFs. That us.

I love you come to Japan and fight me by which I mean give me a hug and hang out with me,

Calla

Hellohellohello Eve, Iibu, Eevee, Eveveveveve,

I know what you might be thinking. I sound like I’m hyper right now. If that’s your train of thought, you might be right. The world will never know. Not really anyway.🤫🤫

I know I’m the somewhat formal type. I’ve rarely ever called anyone by their given nicknames. (If anything, I’ve often given my own nickname for everyone else, haha.) But by the end of this letter that’s gonna change!!!

We’ve been together as gen members for what… FOUR YEARS? Time passes!!! We’ve been in a few subgroup songs together like Love like Candyfloss and Because Happiness which is great but a bit sad that we won’t get a Team Nomimono cover in the future… 🤐 Maybe a reunion could happen in a hopeful future, right コーヒーブ ☺️

But like I’ve said to Willow, it doesn’t mean it’s the end! It doesn’t mean you’re not onto bigger and better things!!!! Flex positivity!!!! I believe in you in all your future endeavors!!!!!!!!! (# P O S I T I V I T Y 2 K 1 9 ! ! ! ! 😤 😤 😤)

We’ll miss you, Iibu. But you know exactly where to find us so don’t forget to send us some life updates!!! 😤😤😤

From the probably-hyper-but-the-world-will-never-know

ジュース 😘

Iibu! When I found out you wanted to graduate, I was devastated. You have this quiet, amazing, yet powerful energy that I LOVE! You’ve graced us with your presence since the beginning of Purappi, and for that, I am very thankful. Between your voice, art, lyrics, videos, and overall creative prowess, you’ve definitely made a large and incomparable positive impact on our little group. One of my favorite things was when you’d quietly sneak into the group chat and drop something amazing at our feet! I’m very sad to see you go, but I know wherever you end up in life, you will flourish. Good luck and full speed ahead!!!

~Marin

IIBUU, I’m really gonna miss you! Before I joined, you were always one of my favorite members, so I’m glad I got to meet you and talk with you! You are super sweet and the most knowledgeable and passionate person about idols I know! I definitely wouldn’t have learned about Wasuta or Gang Parade if it wasn’t for you. <3

So much of Purappi’s identity is thanks to you, Eve! You’re incredibly talented and I know those talents will take you far! I wish you the best, take care of yourself and check in from time to time. <3

Love, Sadie <33333

Graduation Letters for Willow

Dear Ui,

OH MAN HOW ARE WE GONNA LIVE WITHOUT YOUR GOD-TIER MIXES AND ENERGY AROUND???? Actually at this point, it’s been a while since you’ve graduated and I’m glad that we still chat every now and then! It seems like you’re doing well and working on lots of fun projects! I hope you still think of me as a friend the way I do you. ♡

UTMOST RESPECT AND ADMIRATION,

–Alice–

Dear Willow,

I was so sad to see you graduate! You were such a talented singer (and rapper!) who brought a lot to the Purrapi family. I remember hearing you in Silly Boy and becoming an instant fan! ♥

I’m definitely going to miss having you and your grand knowledge of idols around. I always felt like I learned something new whenever you spoke up. Also, I’ll forever be wishing we had gotten a chance to sing together while you were in the group. Maybe one day our paths will cross and allow it. But for now, keep doing your thing and chasing your dreams! Remember to keep in touch too!

Love, Bea

Dear Willow,

Miss Willow~ while I’m, of course, sad to see you go, I have nothing but positive thoughts for your future! With your talents, abilities, and confidence, you can pretty much take on the world, which I am totally down for!

Thank you for the time you spent with us in Purappi! Your gorgeous voice blended so well with Generation 2 and brought so much depth to our songs. Whenever I was color-coding lyrics and figuring out who should sing a certain line, I always knew I could count on you to absolutely nail whatever I gave you! One of my favorite Willow memories is your rapping in “deal,” because that was INSANELY cool and absolutely made me fangirl you!

I want to wish you the best of luck for your future. Keep in touch with us, okay! We’ll always be wota pals!

Love, Bonnie

Hi Uiui,

Okay, I kind of procrastinate with graduation letters in the first place because I don’t want anyone to graduate but like… I really procrastinated with this one. I was just really shocked when you told us because you were one of the last members I was expecting to announce that. You just are always so in place with us that it feels so weird?

Honestly I’m so blessed to have gotten to meet you and I’m so, so glad that we had this group in common that helped two people born on opposite sides of the planet meet and go to a maid cafe together not once, but like three times. You’re always a blast to hang out with which, of course, you’re just such a chill person who is also just so funny and interesting and please if you come back to Japan while I still haven’t been kicked out, hit me up let’s do karaoke again!!

Good luck with your studies and your future! I know you’re a super hard worker, so you will definitely succeed with anything you put yourself towards. Don’t be a stranger because we love you so much.

[[Calla]]

To the one and only Willow,

Hello uwu

uwuwuwu

It’s sad to see your departure from Purappi but that doesn’t mean you aren’t onto bigger and better things, right?!! (#POSITIVITY2K19!!!!! 😤😤) We’re still proud of you!!!!!!!!!

The songs are gonna have one more voice to miss from now on but it won’t be too bad, I’m sure. I think the new generation will do a splendid job in your stead. We’ll miss you, your voice, and your mixing, though. I hope you still get to meet up with our wonderful Calla and the other members every once in a while. Remember to keep in touch!! You know where to find us. 😚

Meep-meep (aka Mepp the Red Leaf uwu)

My precious UiUi!! Since we’ve been knowing each other for such a long time, I was elated when you auditioned for Purappi! It was a no brainer to accept you; someone who has a sweet solid voice, the ability to spit fire raps, a fun loving personality, AND a great mixer?! My dear, you are a catch of an idol! You’ll always be our sexy UiUi here in Purappi Land. I’m sad you’re leaving us, but I know you will do Great Things on your own. I look forward to gushing about Hello!Project idols with you soon! Much love!!

~Marin

Dear UI! I just want to say it’s been a pleasure being a fellow 2nd gen member with you! I’m always pretty bad at these graduation letters, but I just want you to know I appreciated you and everything you did for our group! Its sad that you’re leaving/left, but I know you’re doing great things in life and so I’m happy I got to meet you! Good luck in your current ventures! I know you’ll become the best sexy UIUI you can be. <3

I really miss you,

Love, Sadie

P.S., I’m gonna miss sharing lines with you 😮 lol

Re: The Fate of This Blog

This’ll be a bit more of a personal post. Nothing to do with anything we normally write about. But hey, Seiko Oomori’s MUTEKI just dropped, so go check that out.

So it’s been a hot minute. More than it’s probably ever been before in our absences. It’s just me here now. I don’t even remember if anyone else who’s been a part of Idol Is Not Dead was still involved the last time this blog made a post, but regardless, it’s just me now, ever hesitant to give any way of contacting me.

Some dork tried trolling us a few months ago, and it honestly made me realize that this whole project kind of had been falling apart for a bit at that point, so I decided to end it there. The Facebook page is gone, the Twitter account is gone (nice job trying to create a fake resurrected one though, double dorks.) and neither will likely be back under the same name.

I had come to a realization that I’m growing a bit out of the idol scene. There are still a good chunk of groups that I really do care about that haven’t broken up or ruined their own careers yet (though it’s looking close for CY8ER; that new version of Doki Doki Parirarura is fucking atrocious), but I overall feel very saturated by what’s out there right now.

When I started Idol Is Not Dead, Homicidols didn’t exist; Idol Is Shit didn’t exist; Straight From Japan didn’t exist; the Alt-Idol Podcast didn’t exist; Tokyo Girls Update existed, and so did Pure Idol Heart. But neither covered the subject matter that we did too much at the time. I’m not saying we were first, because that would be outright petty and hard to actually figure out. But we were certainly one of the first - if you Google either of Seiko Oomori’s first two albums, what comes up first? It’s us.

I started this because the scene was still new, and fans in the west were far and few, vocally speaking. There weren’t many English sources. I merely started this to spread the word, and I’m so so happy that other things like Homicidols and Idol Is Shit came along, even if we don’t always see eye to eye. Like I said, I’m kind of over-saturated with idol right now. Which brings me back to what I said before.

The scene was new when I started this. There wasn’t info in the west. The scene was still developing, and it showed a lot of promise that groups would be going off of BiS’ original ideals of being above the structures of the idol industry and managements. Unfortunately, that didn’t happen. I see a few groups doing it, but overall, there’s merely been an edgy “aesthetic” that’s been picked up by an embarrassingly high number of groups and that’s about it. Nothing real that’s going to shake up the industry like BiS did.

I think when WACK started and became more active with managing other idol groups is when I started to retreat a bit. It felt like they were doing exactly what they wanted to stand up against. And man, I still fucking love BiSH and I’d be lying if I didn’t say Re:STUPiD wasn’t a pretty goddamn good album, but it’s just not what it should have been. And I know those are just rose glasses on me, but it’s still unfortunate that there’s a huge wasted potential there that’s being slept on now.

Anyway, those are my personal feelings as to why I’ve decided to pull the plug of this project out. You don’t need to agree with them, you don’t need to try to convince me, because I’m not trying to convince you of anything either. It’s just how I feel. I’ll be starting a more broad blog soon, that isn’t really about any style of music or scene in particular. Just what I’m into lately. If anybody really wants a link, feel free to contact me somehow and ask for it.

I haven’t really done that great a job at “news” anyway. Homicidols has always done a better job than me. If you need a fix for that, check them out and check out Pure Idol Heart. They’re all lovely people and friends to me.

And to the trolls, you didn’t win. You only helped me out. So thanks for that, dorks.

Thanks for the support over the last two years. Also damn, I totally think it’s roughly around the two year anniversary of Idol Is Not Dead. I don’t remember the exact date now that the Twitter is gone, but it was definitely around the end of September, and the 26th sounds about right. So happy anniversary. Thanks again, to everyone who’s looked at us. You’re keeping idol very not dead.
