ENG:

A story without a script is just like a kaleidoscope with an infinite number of choices to make That's why, you see, we'll always sing our one-of-a-kind song

You've been walking on the wrong path thinking that you had to bear it until the end without being able to accept who you are

It's okay to reach out for help because we've always seen you holding out all by yourself But is that truly strength?

The thing is, your strength really is the fact that we're by your side no matter what

On your mark! A story without a script is just like a kaleidoscope with an infinite number of choices to make But even so, you see, we've always been choosing this incomparable present moment

Take your heartbeat, for example: For whom does it beat for? You see, we might not always be in our best shape, but we're here for you

Even while knowing tears won't make it better you still scratch at the almost-healed scabs you wear

If you're measuring everything in terms of 'justice' with a rigid measuring stick I'm sure you'll only be able to measure the most black-and-white of things

We watched the floating clouds from the rooftop The concept of 'freedom' is something so soft, huh?

Watch your step Tomorrow will always be a mystery and a youth that will someday end is just a fantasy That's why, you see, we'll always sing our one-of-a-kind song

We've ran out of things to talk about and before we knew it, we'd locked away our pride You see, we'll always end up laughing it off after all

Laugh and smile A story without a script is just like a kaleidoscope with an infinite number of choices to make But even so, you see, we've always been choosing this incomparable present moment

Today, every single one of us is singing for someone So, you see, we might not always be in our best shape, but we're here for you

We're here for you We're here for you

筋書きのないストーリー 無限の選択肢はカレイドスコープ そうだからさあ　いつだって 唯一無二の歌を唄うんだ

間違ってたよ やり抜かなきゃ耐えなきゃって 自分で自分が認められなくて

頼っていいんだよ １人で頑張ってたこと ずっと見てたんだ でもそれは強さなの？

どんなときも僕らがそばにいること それが本当の君の強さだから

on your mark 筋書きのないストーリー 無限の選択肢はカレイドスコープ それでもさあ　いつだって 最高の今を選んできた

例えば君の鼓動 誰のために高鳴るの？ 僕らはさあ　いつだって 綺麗事じゃないけど ここにいるよ

治りかけてたカサブタ また掻きむしって 涙なんかじゃ塞がらないのに

正しさという名の 真っ直ぐな物差しじゃ カタイものしか きっと測れないよね

屋上から見上げた空に浮かぶ雲 自由ってあんなにヤワラカイものなんだね

watch your step 明日はいつもミステリー 有限の青春なんてファンタジー そうだからさあ　いつだって 唯一無二の歌を唄うんだ

語り尽くされた言葉 いつの間に囚われてるプライド 僕らはさあ　いつだって 笑い飛ばしちゃおうよ

laugh and smile 筋書きのないストーリー 無限の選択肢はカレイドスコープ それでもさあ　いつだって 最高の今を選んできた

誰も彼もが今日だって 誰かのために唄うよ 僕らはさあ　いつだって 綺麗事じゃないけど ここにいるよ

ここにいるよ ここにいるよ

What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas...

And love is a kaleidoscope

How it works, we’ll never know.

And even all the change,

Is somehow all the same.

Turn it to the left and right,

colours shining in your eye.

And even upside down,

It’s beautiful somehow.

Every colour of the rainbow, don't be afraid to hold it close.

It's never just a shape alone,

Love is a kaleidoscope.

it seemed there were so many steps but i knew there were only three! amidst the maples an autumn whisper pleaded: "die with me! i'm led astray by evil fate, so black and so untrue." i answered: "i, too, dear one! i, too, will die with you..." (poetry // tribute)

[xoxochb]

I feel like kaleidoscope is criminally underrated

Yeah you could be a teenager but you could also be the space that’s in between every page, every cord and every screen, the driftwood and the rift, the words you promise you don’t mean

By the way, for like 0.5 people who are interested, I found this little creepy song from ep.19 of Spirealm, in the door about the Drum and the Sisters

It's by United Idol, called A Tỷ Cổ (阿姐鼓), "Sister's Drum" I think

There are Vietnamese subs and pinyin though no English, but you can translate it yourself because I'm lazy and it's kind of spoiler I think

Edit: OK, I changed my mind, so here's a transcript and translation (I used google translate so apologies for any mistakes)

月升起 雨 落下 Yuè shēng qǐ yǔ luòxià) 阿姐不說話 ā jiě bù shuōhuà) 銀髮釵 yínfà chāi 白臉頰 bái liǎnjiá 身上开紅花 shēnshang kāi hónghuā 咚咚咚咚咚咚 dōng dōng dōng dōng dōng dōng 阿姐在説話 ā jiě zài shuōhuà 不要怕，不要怕 bùyào pà, bùyào pà 不要忘了她 bùyào wàngle tā

The moon rises up

And the rain falls down

The sister is silent

Silver hairpin

White cheeks

Red flowers blooming on her body

Dong dong dong dong dong dong

Sister is talking now

Don't be afraid, don't be afraid

don't forget about her

[ruanbaijie]

再晚就来不及把你忘记，这荒凉的世界即将没有你 逃不出注定分离的游戏，这荒唐的命运只有你愿意 陪我，等一场雪，等繁星满天，让这一刹那间，抵过一万光年 你在另一边快要消失不见，请别再倒数时间，我怕我会不顾一切 I will never let you go, 想回到世界的尽头 you will be always in my eyes, 直到模糊了黑夜白昼

a little later and I won't be in time to forget you, you will soon be gone from this desolate world unable to escape from this game where we're destined to be separated, in this absurd fate you are the only one who is willing to accompany me to wait for the snow, to wait for the star-filled sky, to let this fleeting moment surpass thousands of light years on the other side, you are about to disappear, please don't rewind time again, for I'm afraid I will do anything regardless of the cost I will never let you go, wishing to return to the end of the world you will always be in my eyes, until day and night are blurred
