[Show By Rock!] Yokazenohorizon - イメージノ / Images (Translation)

This is my favorite Yokaze song and I am both appalled that no one has translated it before and also honored because that means yours truly gets to have a go at it. Tons of notes in this one because the wordplay in the original lyrics are beautiful and I can't convey it fully in TL. Enjoy!

周回する思考のキュービック Shuukai suru shikou no cubic 底のない夜 浮かべて soko no nai yoru ukabete 瞬間咲く至高のミュージック shunkan saku shikou no music そこに在るのは カタチなき soko no aru no wa katachi naki イメージノカケラ Image no kakera

Cubic thoughts flying in orbit [2] thinking of the bottomless [3] night In the ephemerally blooming music There, I find the formless fragments of images

めぐる めぐる 季節 そっと meguru meguru kisetsu sotto まわる まわる 思い もっと mawaru mawaru omoi motto 君に 君と 溶けあって 溶けあって Kimi ni kimi to tokeatte tokeatte

The seasons gently roll and roll Even more, my feelings spin and spin into you, with you, we melt together, we melt together

More distorted [5] than conjecture, from right to left, it resonates, it resonates I bathed in light, brighter than expectation

The view of my revolving thoughts Spelling out a timeless song music that is vivid and sublime let them dance and resonate the formless fragments of images

Someday, someday, I’ll be able to say That, if you polish it, Even a diamond in the rough [6] will become a star, become a star

I shed just a handful of tears Just like a sea after a storm [10] Just like a love on its last days Just like waterless bubbles [11]

TL Notes:

[1] This note is about the title. Yes. The title. The original title is イメージノ (imeeji no / Of (the) Images). Kudos to the SB69 wiki that lists it as just "Images" in english. Elegant and Simple.

[2] the first in a handful of math terms used in this song. 周回 (shuukai) has many meanings. For this translation, in order to make it sound more natural and lyrical, I chose the meaning "orbit". Although I'm sure the original intent was the meaning "circumference"

[3] 底 (soko), I chose to translate as "bottom". The kanji can also mean base as in numerical bases and base as in the base of a geometrical shape. The latter meaning was probably the original intent

[4] 吹き荒れ (fuki are) means "to blow violently", referring to wind. I chose to translate it as "to storm through" because I wanted to carry the original implication of wind

[5] 斜め (naname). I translated it as "distorted", but it's more commonly used to describe something "diagonal" or "slanted"

[6] I translated 輝石 (kiseki) as "diamond" but it's actually pyroxene. But unfortunately there are no idioms about pyroxene, so I took some liberties. This word is also a pun for 奇跡 (also read kiseki) which means "miracle"

[7] This is gonna be a long one. 不満茸 (fuman dake) literally means "dissatisfaction mushroom". But you'll only see if after reading the lyrics. When you listen you'll assume the line is saying 不満だけ (fuman dake) which means "only dissatisfaction". So the line would mean, audibly, "burn down only the/your dissatisfaction".

[8] the mushroom pun works to serve the next line. ハイになって (high ni natte), which literally means "we become high". Because. Burning mushrooms. Haha. But I chose "euphoric". I hope the "drug" nuance was conveyed.

[9] 証明 (shoumei) means proof, but also means proof, as in a formal mathematical proof

[10] the verb 凪ぐ (nagu) means to become calm, or to die down. I chose "sea after a storm" to throw back to the "stroming through" line

[11] 所在なき泡 (shousai naki awa) means "bubbles with no place to belong". It has an ephemeral nuance the way bubbles pop when the water in them evaporate, hence my choice in translation.

[12] I translated both 思考 (shikou) and 思想 (shishou) as "thought", but they're different. 思考 (shikou) is "intellectual thought" and 思想 (shishou) is more like "ideas/ideology"

If you read all the notes, I hope you found it interesting. If not then thank you anyway!

Since you can't buy this on dvd anymore (at least not easily; though you can rent a stream and it's very good), I'll just put this little clip here

I get the impression from tweets from when the new year's scz vs dokos live was announced that yonepi is planning to retire as crow after this (can't confirm, I missed that livestream) but I refuse to accept it because that would mean we live in a world where crow and shuu have a banger duet but I'll never see it performed by him and kenken. I wanna see him lean in as he sings "aren't you going to try to tempt me", damnit

(btw: two-faced lyrics and translation at https://artwaltzed.wordpress.com/2022/11/16/lyrics-two-faced/ !)

Hello. Thanx for your translations. I clicked on Plasmagica ♪ Shakey Diary 10 but it said it didn't exist. Also will you translate more manga in the future?

Hello! Sorry about that. I can't quite remember why I took it down and I unfortunately can't find my own copy of the translation. If I ever do find it though, I'll put it up again!

As for if I'll translate more manga, I can't say. I'd love to keep translating SB69 stuff in general, but my priority at the moment is SB69 Fes.

Sojun: Have you said your prayers, brat! 

Yasu: Involving foodstuff in your sleazy business schemes, that doesn't sit right with me! 

Student: It’s-it’s a battle! The ‘Demon Student Council Gang Leader’ and ‘Death God Yatagarasu’ are fighting! ! 

Student: Let’s run! Or we’re going to get dragged into it! !

Yasu: Shut up. 

Sojun: Leave. 

Hacchin: Fa?! Fa… 

Yasu & Sojun: …..

Sojun: Fuhaha! You fell for it! Now die! !

// “Death Cross Counter”! ! Yasu’s finishing move! While dodging his opponent's punch, he delivers his own. It’s a super high level technique! However-! ! // 

Yasu: ( He dodged?! ) 

Sojun: ( Naive! I see through your flimsy attack! I just have to meet your counter with my own counter! ) 

Yasu: ( I won’t lose here! )

Sojun: ( He could follow my movements? Yasu. Seems he’s a little capable. ) 

Yasu: ( Concentrate… I have to concentrate. I need to sharpen my senses! UOOOOOO! ! )

I’m back to having one of those days where I can’t do anything productive at all in the morning, because my brain is 100% in “watch Sarazanmai” mode.

Last full chapter (there's apparently an epilogue coming) of Episode of Amatelast dropped today and I am Going Through It lads. There aren't exactly surprises, but Shuu getting all "maybe I would have been better off if I never met him, because then I wouldn't know how much it hurts to have to end this" and "looking back on it now, I really did just want to talk to him about everything but what came out of my mouth was 'goodbye'" just hits me right in the heart

Monologue - BUD VIRGIN LOGIC (translation)

Buy on Itunes

In this formless world filled with sorrow  I call out your name and embrace you

The pouring rain is making the town lights look hazy We two were next to each other and watched them I had no destination however as long as you were there That was my home

The broken mirror is reflecting the monochrome dream’s remains What do you desire?

We are still alive and only want to live out our fate If that’s not sloth then what is it? As I overcame my insecurities I spill out my prayer Before everything ends, please somehow give me your love

We cannot undo the things that we did  To pay for my wish  I won’t show my loneliness and give you a smile Just stay by my side somehow

Someday the rain stopped, someday that something disappeared  I wonder if you have noticed yet With no doubt that day was reality and despite my words I already feel so empty now

On the other side of the deceitful purgatory the colors of my sins (memories) become crystal clear ..Where are you?

The feelings of losing you are piercing me Please do not write it off as sentimentality On the other side of the unreal sky, no more will I be able to touch you and if you say there is still time to be honest

“I cannot forget the things that I did” I confess like a stupid grown-up After all I destroyed you with my arrogant intentions and that wasn’t justice As the seasons vacantly pass by and the funerals are lining up, my hopes from the past Cannot reach my voice yet my monologue steadily continues

Hey, why does the rain’s sound remain in the depths of my ears Although I am so angry it is pleasant at the same time I wanted it to reach you yet couldn’t tell you my pain You knew all of this and were hurting, weren’t you?

We are still alive and only want to live out our fate If that’s not sloth, then what is it? As I overcame my insecurities I spill out my love Even now I am waiting and longing for you

We cannot undo the things that we did To pay for my wish I won’t show my loneliness and while laughing, I shall offer you this poem for eternity
