#izora lyrics

[an-insignificant-flower]

Namonaki Watashi

名も無き = lit. "without a name," pre-noun adjective that can mean "anonymous," "ordinary," or—as I believe befits this song—"insignificant". Notably, 無き is an older form of ない, but while the latter functions as a complete clause, the former requires a noun follow it.

Verse 1

一雫雨を　一雫ください hitoshizuku ame wo　hitoshizuku kudasai 一雫愛を　一雫ください hitoshizuku ai wo　hitoshizuku kudasai

One drop of rain, please give me one drop One drop of love, please give me one drop

The dictionary puts 一滴 (いってき, alternatively ひとしずく) as more common than 一雫 (ひとしずく). However, the latter seems to be more literary, used for sake labels, restaurants, and a 2002 hit song by the female J-pop group, Zone.

Additionally, 雫 is distinctly a kokuji, or "country character," one of Japan's creations without a Chinese equivalent. It's purely hieroglyphic as such, literally depicting that which falls from a cloud.

Prechorus 1

名も　無い　わたしは　あなたと　出会いました namonai watashi wa　anata to deaimashita 名も　無い　わたしにも　蝶や　風や　夢が‥ namonai watashi ni mo　chou ya kaze ya yume ga...

I, who am insignificant, met you (for the first time) Even I, who am also insignificant, (the) butterflies, (the) wind, (the) dream...

Sakurai uses the older form of Namonaki in the title only, but uses the more modern form in the lyrics themselves. In the Japanese, the difference is extremely subtle, with only one phoneme changing from -ki to -i. The grammatical implication in English is far more clumsy, but worth exploring to see the difference: The title reads "Insignificant Me" while the lyrics read "I, who am insignificant,..."

The line ends with ellipses, leaving the thought unfinished, and the use of ya for "and" implying the list is only a part of all that is in the scene give the verse an impressionistic feel.

Chorus

狂い咲く　花たちよ　今は　咲き乱れよ kuruizaku hana-tachi yo　ima wa sak'mi dare yo 狂い咲く　命共　乱れ　乱れ　乱れ kuruizaku inochi domo　midare, midare, midare

Fellow flowers blooming out of season, bloom profusely now! Fellow flowers blooming out of season, together live wild, wild, wild!

I adore the use of kuruizaku here. Of course, kuruu is a familiar verb in Buck-Tick's lyrics, whether it refers to going mad with love or at the state of the world or simply "going crazy." Here it's used in a set phrase referring to off-season blooming. And as with kemono-tachi (from "Beasts of Night"), the narrator includes himself among those he is speaking to: outcasts and others who "don't fit in."

Sakimidare, another set phrase, lends itself to the imagery of endless fields of blooming flowers so thick that you can't see the green leaves beneath them, or even the peak day of cherry blossom season when the world is awash in pink.

I've used an apostrophe unconventionally here to refer to Sakurai's pronunciation. The word has five full mora (sa-ki-mi-da-re), but Sakurai sings it in four (sa-k'mi-da-re). I actually could not make it out in the album version of the song; only upon listening to the "Taiyo to Ikarosu" B-side at high volume could I hear the separate consonants distinctly fitted into one note.

As a lone verb midareru means "falling into disarray," but as a repeated call lends itself better to "lapsing into chaos," and I was tempted to choose "riot" as a command due to the character's more direct translation. However, following the previous line with the set phrase sakimidare, there is an implication that it attaches itself to inochi domo the same way, meaning a closer translation might be, "together, live exuberantly." Think Carpe diem ("Seize the day") with the raving enthusiasm of Scrooge on Christmas morning.

Verse 2

ありがとう　愛を　陽だまりの　日々を arigatou　ai wo　hidamari no hibi wo 一輪の　花を　髪飾り　君に ichirin no hana wo　kamikazari kimi ni

Thank you, for the love, for day after day in the sun For the single flower adoring your hair

Prechorus 2

名も　無い　わたしに　あなた　と　お別れ　来た namonai watashi ni　anata to o-wakare kita 名も　無い　わたしにも　赤や　黄の　夢が‥ namonai watashi ni mo　aka ya ki no yume ga...

You and I, who am insignificant, bid farewell Even I, who am insignificant, (the) red and yellow dream...

Although the lyrics imply simply that the flower speaking (perhaps the very one in the listener's hair from the previous line) was discarded, it's hard to listen to this line as one of the last lyrics in the last song presented to us on Sakurai's last recorded album.

As before, ya implies there are more colors, though red and yellow are noteworthy for the line. I don't know whether it was intentional, but it calls back the first line of "Gessekai": Aka ki iro himawari, "red, yellow sunflowers".

Instrumental Bridge Chorus Chorus

Sakurai often wrote lyrics from the point of view of a particular character in his mind, performing a role on stage. However, I am tempted to read this one assuming less use of the figurative mask. It seems very in his character to express such humility, to refer to his fans (and/or his family, as I have also suspected of other songs of his) as the source of his sunshine and objects of his gratitude, and to plead us all to live our lives to our fullest.

BUCK-TICK ヒズミ (Hizumi) - English translation & romaji

"Distortion"

What do I live for?

It won’t go well, this makeup

It’s a tough weekend, isn’t it

My mom’s dreams?

I violated them

I tear off my chest

Lullaby, the blood won’t sto…p

Lap at the mouth of the wound

We’re distorting, this town, me and you

The twilight swing sways

Everyone distorted

is living mysteriously

Look, a window light

My dad’s dreams?

I killed them too

Sunday, with a pattern of rain

Lullaby, goodbye, farewe…ll

Chop it all u…p

We’re distorting, this town, me and you

The traffic light changes to red

Grandpa, grandma

Let us join hands

Don’t bother!

Please leave us alone

Dad, Mom, don’t forget, okay?

I love you so so much

If it’s got to be this way...

I want to become gentle

The next train will go… mad*

*[T/N]　the kanji Sakurai uses in the lyrics is 狂う、”go mad”, even though in the song it sounds like 来る, “to come”, which makes sense in the context of "the next train coming"

+ it has been confirmed by Sakurai that the lyrics depict experiences of a "man with a woman's soul" who wishes to live as feminine (whether it's an euphemism for a transgender woman or a gnc man isn't entirely clear to me, i think it could be both). either way, it seems to express frustration at being unable to get rid of your masculinity completely - x

BOOGIE WOOGIE SHUBI DUBA

[yougetsu]

i've trying to collect my thoughts about bt season 2. i've read mean comments on twitter, mean comments towards the members or between fans. i don't know where to go to feel understood with this loss, i've been criticized for being too affected by it, as something i should let go. how can i let go something important to me? i've accepted most of it but never let go (???. do u think they'll release something next month? like the documentary? im scared i don't want them to forget him

I think we all have the same doubts and uncertainties. I try not to give it too much thought bc if I go there, I fall into a spiral of anxiety. I think I'll never completely get over the fact that I didn't see the Izora Tour live. Frankly speaking, these 10 months have been rough, processing that he's not longer here, that I won't be able to see him perform after 3 years planning this trip and saving money like crazy (I still feel like crap, frustrated and sad bc it was one of my biggest dreams), that we'll no longer have news, interviews, photos, live reports, etc etc. Most of us were used to that, even if we learn something small each day, knowing that he was around was such a joy. Now what comforts me a bit is that we were so lucky to live at the same time/planet/dimension as Atsushi.

Naturally, I think I'll keep grieving during a long period time but also I don't wanna feel bad about it bc at the end, he's one of the people I have admired the most in my life. If he is important to you, live the whole thing. Cry, laugh, write about it, share it here. Being passionate about music and people who had inspired you to be better is beautiful. I do believe when someone touches your soul deeply whether it is family, friends, artists, they'll remain in you always.

On Sept 21st probably something new will come out, new music, new single, we don't know. Regarding the movie, Imai mentioned (in the last FT bulletin) that he wrote the lyrics for Hide's song for the movie but not more details as far as I remember. I really hope they don't make it sink into oblivion.

In a previous post I said I have mixed feelings, I can't pretend everything is fine, maybe the fog in my brain will clear a bit during September. I'm fully aware that it will shake me internally (again as the bt genshou and as the last interviews did) bc it's a big change. I'd like B-T to find a balance between their past and present, specially in their new performances, paying tribute to Acchan to celebrate his legacy and also witnessing their new songs.

Be patient and take care of yourself <3

[maxellminidisc]

悪の華 / aku no hana by buck-tick?? also, if u would like, an album that made an unexpected impression (of your choice) !!

Hell yeah Buck-Tick, let's fucking gooo!!!

LOVE ME- look I'm a lil lovesick fool, I love any attempt to provoke my dumb lil love obsessed heart, ESPECIALLY if the lyrics and the delivery are giving, "whistful vampire alone on a friday night wishing his main forbidden (blood) squeeze was with him as he gazes at his missing reflection on the shore of his estate's pond".

DIZZY MOON- Love that they decided to play with a very obvious Ska sound on this one, it always throws me for a second because the rest of the album doesn't really give too much or any hint of it being a possibility. The lyrics also conjure up this image of like pierrots, beautifully dressed jesters, and shit moshing lol

KISS ME GOODBYE- There's a reason this is a single and a "hit". Gorgeous, atmospheric, and moody without being like heavily gloomy. The main like marimba/xylophone melody gets stuck in my head soo frequently too. Also really love how the lyrics are like very good at conveying that contradicting emotion of "I know this is the end and it's ok for me to have a moment to mourn it with you" and "i still wish I could stay with you forever".

As for an album that made an impression on me, I'll stick with a Buck-Tick one!! I finally got time to listen to their latest, IZORA, and I was so pleasantly surprised at the playfulness going on there with genres, but especially the heavy use of electronic components and composition, it expanded from ABRACADABRA in the best way!! God I truly love them, they never feel stale or stuck in a certain sound, more so theres something about them that stays reminding you its buck tick. Sometimes I have this crazy wish for them to collab with Susumu Hirasawa cause I think theyd make some mind blowing stuff. I love them both soo much as artists.

Thank you KT!! 🥰😘

[loveaankilaq]

Hey I've seen you posting Buck-Tick a lot recently. If I was to want to get into their music or other visual kei musicians what would you personally recommend, or what are your favorite tracks from them (I'm too easily swayed by long hair men). You don't have to answer this, but if you do that'd be awesome, I just want to get your general thoughts.

Ahh I'm so sorry it took me awhile to answer this but I'm very excited to respond

So I honestly only just recently got into vkei and specifically Buck Tick, I've really only listened to them and Malice Mizer and a few songs here and there from some other bands so I'm probably not best to recommend a vast array of vkei bands outside of BT and MM.

But I'm more than happy to get into my favorite BT songs under the cut (at least my favorite rn as my list will probably change as I hear more of their songs)

So currently my favorite song is, "Kirameki no naka de..." This song sounds so good, the experimental tone esp Toll on drums is just amazing, this isn't what I'd say is their best song but certainly my favorite because of the sound it just fits my exact taste in music perfectly and was the song that really got me into them

Next is "Jupiter", most people would also say this is high up on their list if not their favorite. The lyrics in this song are just so moving and beautiful it literally made me cry, Hide is an incredible songwriter and Sakurai is an incredible lyricist and this song is a great example of that.

Next is "die", another people rate highly. Honestly all aspects of this song are very good, the lyrics, the sound, the mv accompanying it. The song is incredibly haunting esp if you watch the visuals in the mv, they give such a jarring feeling, of a protagonist with regrets begging for forgiveness as I believe he's either already dead or on the brink of death, I'd highly recommend this song

And lastly "Hizumi", one of their newest songs off the most recent album IZORA. This song is about either a gnc man or a trans woman, most likely both who struggle in wanting to embrace their femininity but society forcing masculinity on them. Sakurai is very openly gender nonconforming and sees femininity as a virtue so this song serves as him relating his own experiences to another. He's pretty openly a trans ally so this song is him relating to that experience whilst also acknowledging his own experiences are not the same. This song is very emotional, it's evident when Sakurai performs it that it's very emotionally charged but overall very beautiful.

I hope you like these songs too, I'm not the best at recommending music but these songs particularly I really love, and thank you so much for the ask.

It's a catch 22. Women like VK, tall skinny and beautiful usually do not have ass and tits. So they love her for her long legs but cover up her other bits. While the fatter models dont get the most beautiful clothes in other shows they do get better underwear for lingerie shows coz they are thin. Thats the body she has, nothing to do about it. If she gets surgery to change it yall will mock her about that too. so no winning

In a way I guess we could say it´s the same as when the band C+C Music Factory faked their song big time back in the 90s. 

Quick recap for those who weren´t around for that scandal:

In 1991 C+C Music Factory released a song called “Gonna Make You Sweat (Everybody Dance Now)” which became a monster hit and is one of the quintessential 90s “club bangers”, I guess would be very fair to say!

In the video we see this good-looking, big-boobied young lady named Zelma Davis singing her heart out, belting out the lyrics like a mofo and hitting all sorts of notes beautifully.

Oh but wait that´s not actually her voice tho…

THIS is the woman who owns that voice: MARTHA WASH.

That´s her on the left, along with her singing partner Izora Armstead. Together these two ladies formed a little duo called The Weather Girls.

And as you can see, Martha isn´t exactly “cover girl material”, to put it bluntly…

So yeah, basically the C+C Music Factory peeps wanted her magnificent voice on their track, but then deemed her not suitable for the music video and ended up hiring a slender pretty girlie to lipsync Martha´s parts.

CLASSY MOVE, RIGHT?! 

Faking appearances and fooling audiences has long traditions…

“Dance (Disco Heat)” by Sylvester (1978)

1978’s “Dance (Disco Heat)” introduced Sylvester to the American audience at large. Not to say Sylvester was a newbie-he’d been kicking around the music scene for half a decade at this point. But this song crystallized the sound, the iconography, the look that made Sylvester many things; a disco icon, a queer icon, an icon for sexual and personal liberation whose legend has only grown in the forty years since this song’s release and the thirty years since the artist’s death.

Weird then, that Sylvester himself isn’t the primary voice you hear on “Dance”. Sylvester shares the spotlight with his background duo, Two Tons o’ Fun (later to become iconic in their own right as The Weather Girls of “It’s Raining Men” fame). Martha Wash and Izora Rhodes join Sylvester in wailing and testifying. Pull the disco backing out, concentrate on the voices and if you’re not paying close enough attention to the lyrics (or speak another language), your initial assumption would be that they are singing gospel. To me, this puts a fine point on the very thin line between religious ecstasy and orgasm. Tons of tension and release here.

Four star songs between “Damaged” and “Dance (Disco Heat)”: “Damita Jo” (Janet Jackson, 2004) | “Dammn Baby” (Janet Jackson, 2015) | “Damn I Wanna Be Your Lover” (En Vogue, 1997) | “Damn I Wish I Was Your Lover” (Sophie B. Hawkins, 1992) | “Damn It Feels Good To Be A Gangsta” (Geto Boys, 1991...I had to include the “Office Space” sequence here) | “Damn Right, I Am Somebody” (Fred Wesley & The J.B.s, 1974) | “Damn Thing Called Love” (After 7, 1995) | “Damn U” (Prince & The New Power Generation, 1992) | “Damned If I (Eye) Do” (Prince, 1996)

BUCK-TICK 名も無きわたし (Namonaki watashi) English translation & romaji

"Nameless me"

One drop of rain

Please, just one drop

One drop of love

Please, just one drop

Me, without a name*

Came across you

Even to me, without a name, 

Butterflies… wind… and dreams..

Oh you flowers that bloom out of season

Now, bloom in profusion!

Oh living things who bloom out of season

Disarray disarray disarray*

Thank you for love

For days in sunlight

A single flower

A hair ornament for you

Me, without a name

Came to part with you

Even to me, without a name,

Red…and yellow…dreams…

Oh you flowers that bloom out of season

Now, bloom in profusion!

Oh living things who bloom out of season

Disarray disarray disarray 

Oh you flowers that bloom out of season

Now, bloom in profusion!

Oh living things who bloom out of season

Disarray disarray disarray

[T/N] 乱れ (midare) means unrest, disorder, disturbance, but also disarray, for now i chose disarray because it sounds the closest to midare, but perhaps i’ll change it

i decided to translate "namonai" as "without a name" for the sake of phonetic continuity, but as an adjective, it also means "unknown", "insignificant", "obscure". literally "na mo nai" means "without even a name", and i feel like it conveys the meaning better, but maybe that's just me

I listened to Izora a lot since it was released, it's one of my favourite records. I have it engraved in my mind because it has helped me in many moments this year. It accompanied me at home, on my way to work and then to university. It has given me a lot of strength, it basically energized me when i was tired. Also, I thought… great, on the next tours these songs will be present and I will be able to hear them one day.

This record holds a lot of things, I don't feel capable of playing it cause I know the lyrics so well and there are many personal memories that it breaks me a bit.

I know this feeling will pass and I'll enjoy it in the future again, but i'll give it a break.

[yougetsu]

As time goes by I enjoy the releases more and more and get nostalgic.

First thoughts:

Can't wait to discover the lyrics.

Since the beginning I knew that 名も無きわたし will be one of my favs, now that I listened to the album version I could confirm it. I love B-T melancholic songs, eyes teared up.

The vintage sounds through the whole record are interesting.

Imai singing in THE FALLING DOWN, what a banger.

愛のハレム felt like a dream, what are those vocals and effects?

The guitars are solid and obscure.

The strings on the new さよならシェルター are splendid.

Some things I'd like to mention might be missing for now. I need to re-play IZORA.
