I find these translator notes pretty fascinating. (the context is that this is a fansub for the anime made for for cult recruitment purposes by Aum Shinrikyo, the cult responsible for 1995 sarin attack on Tokyo subway)
I'd say the combination of casual explaining the translation choices given the subject matter, but also mention of quieting questioning the inconsistencies through "10 precepts" and guilt-tripping you into your good behaviour which is similar to a certain other religion.
(id is very long so I'm also putting it under the "Keep reading" line here, in addition to putting it directly on an image)
YouTube comment by "Garlic Goblin Ziusudra"
This fansub project left me gasping. No, not in admiration before Shoko Asahara, I won't start to frequent Aleph's meditation circle, don't fret! But because it was mentally taxing. It was my most ambitious solo project to date… I juggled with complex Buddhist concepts along the way. Also, I felt as if the stampede of a Brahma bull rammed into me with unbridled idiocy. I needed a long sleep to recover from all that, I tell you. Now, I'll write footnotes around the project I think you may need to know:
1) I covered this project purely because of its entertainment value. Besides, I think Aum Shinrikyo is a poorly known cult, and I sincerely hope my translation shed light on what they were about. Being well informed is power. 2) trying to keep a straight face, I translated the script in a manner I think an authentic disciple would, full of misguided admiration. Since the cultists regarded Asahara like a god, his pronouns all start with a capital letter. 3) the kanji of "spirit force" roughly translates "transcendental human power". Spirit force isn't a fully accurate translation, but sticking with it shorten the sentences considerably… Shoko Asahara basically baited you into the cult, thinking you could become like a super hero from Marvel after passing meditation stages. 3) I interchangeably translated そんし (尊師), as "our guru" "our leader" and "the Holy One". Funnily enough, そんし is the way you pronounce Sun Tzu's name in Japanese. If you misinterpret, it comes as if the adepts have an unhealthy admiration for the Art of War 😂 4) note the Abrahamic component of the cult with the 10 precepts. Aren't they a formidable tool of peer pressure, used by a guru to quell any dissent? I am sure Asahara used these vague commandments more than once to quiet those questioning the inconsistencies in his teachings or attitude. Anyway, the long lasting members end to be the most efficiently brainwashed ones, gurus know how to weed out the obdurate people from the ones they desire. 5) Imagine believing that transgressing precepts gets you to reincarnate in the three lower paths of Reincarnation. You would be terrified to stand against the bullcrap of Asahara, wouldn't you? "Chouetsu Sekai" tells you in substance that obeying the guru will either reward you with blessedness or doom you to a next life of suffering hell. Very efficient tool of manipulation, am I right? 6) Vajratissa wasn't an original character created for this OAV. He genuinely existed, like Kalu Rinpoche. It was the holy name of Tomomasa Nakagawa, a senior member. He was a physician with a legitimate background, acting as a scientific arm of the cult, much like fellow death row mates Masami Tsuchiya and the veterinarian Seiichi Endo. I ignore what exact parts he had in conceiving the chemical weapons, but he had a clear interest in the topic. During his time in the death row, he even wrote a paper about the VX nerve agent and accused Kim Jong Un of recuperating Aum Shinrikyo's stock to kill Kim Jong Nam! Nakagawa was one of the few members expressing remorse for the sarin gas attack and the death of Sakamoto family. He didn't deny responsibility and fully accepted his hanging. He is definitely a more complex and intriguing figure than the guru. 7) I know, I know, the last part is particularly disgusting. It is a thing to enroll consenting adults, but another to indoctrinate children like that Noriko. By the way, the mother is Shoko Asahara's spouse and Noriko his daughter. I am not exactly certain whether Uma Parvati is Asahara's wife holy name or the narrators refers to the Hindu goddess (the spouse of Shiva). I'd lean towards the first option.

NEE - Autobahn - Lyrics
song (spotify) Japanese/Romaji/English lyrics under the cut
曖昧な夢を見ていた 無愛想な部屋で どうしても夜が怖かったんだ 隣にはあなたがいたのに
日の落ちた世界 僕は歩けない 染み付く後悔 明日を恨んで 「何もないけど 誰もいないさ」 「ここならいい?」と 君が笑った
淡い日々の漫談に 滑稽な人生に 痛む胸の意味は分かるでしょ? 君と暗い朝に超越と叫び声 今日も僕は揺れるの
存在証明と不安定 悲しみは僕らに触れる 例えオーベイベー 夢を語れば もぅレイディ 歩き出したって ラリラリラー 叶わないまま 止まらない明日を迎えて 「君の目に何が写るの?」
騒がしい世界 静まらぬ未来 今更すぎる 君への正解 春に会えれば 「それでもいい」と くだらなすぎた 愛しき毎日
甘い匂いで散漫に 優越を謳歌して 呆れちゃう貴方が好きなんだ いつか棘になる感情を宥めてよ 僕がそばにいるまで
完全な明日を祈って 終わらない歌を歌っては きっともぅレイニー 僕らの日々が 万々歳 ��り出したって ラリラリラー 届かないまま 始まらない世界の中で 僕の目に君が映るの
存在証明と不安定 悲しみは僕らに触れる 例えオーベイベー 夢を語れば もぅレイディ 歩き出したって ラリラリラー 叶わないまま 止まらない明日を迎えて
完全な明日を祈って 終わらない歌を歌っては きっともぅレイニー 僕らの日々が 万々歳 走り出したって ラリラリラー 届かないまま 始まらない世界の中で 僕の目に君が映るの
君の目に今も映るよ

I had a hazy dream In this inhospitable room, the night seemed so scary to me even with you by my side
In this world devoid of light, I can’t move on Regret dyed into my being I resent each new day “It’s nothing special, but at least no one’s here” “Does this place work?” you said happily
In the humor of our fleeting days, in this silly little life, do you know why you have that pain in your chest? Together, we’ll rise above the dark morning and cry out I feel shaken once again today
Instability and proof you’re alive; sadness brushed upon us If, oh baby, I talk about my dreams, that pretty lady’s already walking away la li la li la My dreams left unfulfilled, I greet the next oncoming day “What do you see in your eyes?”
The world is turbulent The future won’t quiet down It’s way too late to give you my correct answer If we can meet in the spring, then that’s fine Our precious everyday life was so absurd
I love when you’re unfocused by a sweet scent, tired of rejoicing in your superiority Calm your emotions, lest they turn into thorns, until I’m able to get to you
Praying for a perfect tomorrow, singing an endless song has already made our rainy days take off like the wind, yay! la li la li la Still unable to reach you, you’re reflected in my eyes among everything in this useless world
Instability and proof you’re alive; sadness brushed upon us If, oh baby, I talk about my dreams, that pretty lady’s already walking away la li la li la My dreams left unfulfilled, I greet the next oncoming day
Praying for a perfect tomorrow, singing an endless song has already made our rainy days take off like the wind, yay! la li la li la Still unable to reach you, you’re reflected in my eyes among everything in this useless world
I can still see it in your eyes, too

Mahoro Vacation (“Mahoroba Vacation”)
youtube
“Momoclo Heaven ☆ Momoclo Heaven ☆ Come here just once! Use the spark in your heart to make the barren flower bloom, head towards Nirvana!!”
OR: the title is a portmanteau of Mahoroba and Vacation, which is only one of the many puns and traditional Eastern cultural references inside the song, which is also about how a MomoClo concert feels like “paradise” to MomoClo fans.
YUITSUMUNI NO TAMASHII YO, SHINWA E TO HABATAKE…

¹ A decillion is the easiest English translation, but nayuta is a Buddhist loan termword that means “many, many” in Sanskrit, and “going around cycles” (輪廻って) is a roundabout of 輪廻 (rinne or Samsara, the endless cycle of death and rebirth Buddhists seek to break free from.)
² Tennyo can be translated as celestial angels as well, but they’re a concept borrowed from Chinese Buddhism so I went for an English phrase that was less loaded with Christian overtones.
³ Portmanteau of “catharsis” and “system”: a system of catharsis, so to speak.
⁴ The term used for bright light, koumyou, can refer to the light that radiates from a buddha.
⁵ ki SHOW TIME is actually a portmanteau of 吉祥 (kisshou, or “auspicious”) and SHOWTIME.
⁶ Hagoromo (“feathered / celestial robes”) are specifically tied to the heavenly nymphs mentioned previously.
⁷ Although as an expression 五臓六腑 may be thought of as a “heart’s core”, this phrase continues the traditional Asian references as it reflects the old Confucian understanding of human anatomy. The phrase is literally 五臓 (five viscera: liver, lungs, heart, kidney, spleen) and 六腑 (six entrails: stomach, large intestine, small intestine, gall bladder, bladder, and ‘heating organ’—a blend of the thorax and abdomen.)
⁸ Bliss here is ananda, another Buddhist loanword from Sanskrit that usually refers to the Buddha’s disciple but I couldn’t find any direct quotes to the individual so I chose to translate it as the emotion instead.
⁹ I’m 90% sure “top-class document days” is just a nonsensical pun (chouDOKYUU DOKYUU-mento) but choudokyuu originally referred to super-dreadnoughts (a superior type of battleship) so if anyone can spot a reference along those lines, feel free to let me know.
¹⁰ Shinra Banshou is another Buddhist idiom used to refer to the entire universe and nature.
¹¹ A “musical” twist on the philosophical concept of the Akashic records (the idea that every human act, thought, word, and knowledge in history is gathered somewhere in either a giant lifeforce or etheric plane.) “Akashic” is derived from the Sanskrit word Akasha, which in Buddhist terms refers to the “aether”.
¹² I might’ve added a few too many words here, but I was at a bit of a loss for how to translate kakai with context. The literal translation is the “lower bound”, or “lower world”, but it’s always used to our world (down here, as opposed to heaven above). As a result, it’s often translated as say, the realm of mortals, in contrast to heaven or hell.
#Mahoro Vacation#Mahorovacation#Momoiro Clover#Momoiro Clover Z#album song#album: Hakkin no Yoake#lyrics#translation#Lyricist: Mutsumi Sumiyo#Composers: invisible manners#Arrangement: invisible manners#10s aidoru#aidoru songs referencing religion#meta aidoru songs#release date: 02/17/2016#I remember hating Mahorovacation for like a month bc of the sheer amount of notes this entailed#but in retrospect it wasn't all that bad?#I think I just sucked at researching#I can remember literally nothing of what I learned outside the Akashic records#which are narratively at least pretty cool so I don't think that counts#anyway I like the song now#I added the English interlude bc the Japanese wiki entry transcription is CLEARLY wrong#so I feel like I'm allowed to potentially be wrong too
