mob choirさんの「exist」の大まかな歌訳と、この歌から語彙、その1:Aメロ❶
mob choir's 'exist' in rough translation + vocabulary, part 1: verse 1
youtube
translator's note: i am a singer. it is not my aim to write singable lyrics in my native tongue; i translate for those who want a sense of what is being sung, to help me better commit lyrics to memory, and to aid my own study of the japanese language (and hopefully yours as well, kind reader!).
multiple translation passes are necessary to produce a poem that preserves as much of the song's meaning as possible while matching its rhythms, so i would hesitate to call what i am doing 'translation'. i think 'rough' is appropriate here.
learning songs in one's target language is a particularly active and participatory kind of immersion! i would much rather sing this in the original japanese, anyway.
vocab + lyrics below the cut.
この歌から語彙 words from this song
目を閉じる 〖 こまっちまう・me wo tojìru 〗 to close one's eyes.
浮遊(する)〖 こまっちまう・fuyuu 〗 floating, drifting. also meant 'wandering about, meandering, difficult to pin down' in an archaic sense.
うずき 〖 疼き・uzùki 〗 usually translated in JP-EN dictionaries as 'ache' or 'twinge'. to my surprise, when i looked 疼き up in a monolingual dictionary, i found that it actually refers to a 'throbbing pain'; 'ache' is off by at least an order of magnitude. related words are うずく (the verb form) and ズキズキ (the mimetic word).
失う 〖 うしなう・ushinàu 〗 to lose (something or someone), to miss out on something.
焼き付く 〖 やきつく・yakìts'ku 〗 lit. or fig. to be seared into, to leave a strong impression, to be etched into.
今際 〖 いまわ・imawa 〗 one's last moments, hour of dying.
惜別 〖 せきべつ・sekíbetsu 〗 a reluctance to or regret at parting.
迫る 〖 せまる・semàru 〗 here to approach, to be imminent.
無常 〖 むじょう・mujou 〗 the japanese buddhist equivalent of anitya; uncertainty, impermanence, change as a force.
つかむ 〖 掴む・ts'kàmu 〗 to seize, grasp, grab, hold...
歌詞 lyrics
Aメロ
目を閉じても 浮遊する疼き even when i close my eyes a throbbing pain i can't quite pin down 失うほどに 焼き付く shape the more i lose, the stronger the impression left behind-shape 今際の惜別に 迫ってく無常 in my last moments on earth, i don't want to leave the uncertainty that lies ahead fast approaches この手で掴む missing piece the missing piece i'll seize with my hands

this song works beautifully for every part of this scene... except that faceplant. which is probably why they didn't go with it.
but @exilepurify, awesome edit and translation for 'exist'. it's quickly become one of my favorite songs.
The ep12 scene where Reigen chases after Mob but instead of 99, Exist starts playing!
This has already been done before (I got like 3/4 of the way through making this video before I checked my notes and realized this — the original one was created by Twitter user @aaashr100 and you can find it here, thank you @daychiie for telling me about it!!)
In this version, I tried to preserve some of Reigen’s voice lines the best I could to make it more immersive. I also added lyrics and an English translation bc I feel like knowing the lyrics enhances it. I didn’t translate it super by-the-book strictly (if I did it would sound bad) but it should still be reliable and convey the meaning well!
Anyway, Exist is the best song in the series and would’ve been twice as impactful as 99.

Levels of understanding other slavic languages
oh we also have X and it means the same!
that looks like X but misspelled
that's just the archaic variant of X
this sounds a lot like Y from another slavic language I know which means X in mine so this almost 100% also means X
this word is completely different but I can kinda tell the meaning from the morphology
what
okay right now I'm gonna have to dissect the entirety of this language's history to figure out how the FUCK did y'all get to the point of calling X that and not something more normal
I wanted to ask for X and accidentally called someone a whore

Zedaph: Well someone's let the dogs out, so the dogs are near the kennel-
Tango: Who?
Zedaph, after a half-second of processing: Who?
Both: Who?
*a slight pause as Zedaph laughs and they both look far too pleased with themselves*
Zedaph: I hate us. We are equally terrible.
