Deadend Game

A friend recently introduced me to Thanatos' character song from Saint Seiya Lost Canvas, asking me if Yuri listens to it (commenting it was literally the voice of Thanatos) 🥰😂

When I heard it I thought it was a perfect companion piece to "Thanatos no Koe o Kike" and immediately had to translate.

Kanji lyrics :

寂れた森の中 小さな明かりを灯す 悠遠の記憶の果てまで 僕は進む

昔々のおとぎ話 神の慈しみは 僕らの道を示す標

巡り巡る世界 一筋の光を望む 永久の想いを込めて 祈り続けて 希望の在り処へと

寂れた森の中 花びらは風に揺れる 廃忘の楽園の果てまで 僕は進む

瞳に宿る温もりと 二人の約束は 僕らを未来へと導く

巡り巡る世界 暗闇を光に変える 永久の願いを込めて 愛を捧げよう きみのために歌う 優しい子守唄

Frankly? Don't hate him like much as the rest of the fandom seems to. Sure, he's imperfect. He's human. But like... I'm one of the only people who's sat down and done the math to figure out that Hope's Peak is a Unit 731 + Japan being in the Axis Powers reference. We have three numbered classes, one from one year and two from the other. The numbers are in order, and the extra class is marked with a B. Class 78, Class 77 and Class 77b. Which means class numbers are in order of since the school was founded and additional classes in one year do not increase the number.

Which means we can MATH! Class 78 is admitted in 2010, so we just get a simple subtraction problem out of this. 1932! Hope's Peak was founded in 1932 to foster and promote people who are naturally superior to everyone else and create the perfect human who is over all others. The Ubermensch. In 1932. Using fucked up evil science. In Imperial Japan. And they've always been government-backed for this reason. He stealthed that past all the censors. Japan really doesn't like to talk about shit like Unit 731 and he directly made a plot which is "Yeah, the Japanese government was doing evil eugenics science with human experimentation during World War 2 and never stopped, it's directly tied to the culture of talent and superiority in Japan, and that's evil." Like, literally, "our culture never actually moved on from the atrocities and the government is still fuckin evil". That's the core of Danganronpa!

And then, the social media landscape makes people go "I don't like this character as a person" = "This is a bad character", which is fucking stupid moron behavior. Wheatley ass motherfuckers. Haiji Towa. Oh, you mean to tell me that the billionaires funded both sides of the war and were complicit in genocide in order to keep and amass power, and are also child molesters? Wow, where have I fucking heard that before?! Like literally, "the world ended not just because of Junko, but because the predatory rich and powerful would rather commit genocide than lose power and wealth". Go fucking off!

Are there other things that are problematic? Sure. But like... the main one people get mad about is from 2010. I don't know how to say this without ripping off the bandaid. 1996 was 14 years before 2010. 2010 was 14 years ago. Sometimes, shit ages poorly. It was 14 years ago. You're judging 1996 writing by 2010 standards and expecting it to be to 2024 standards. I'm sorry, but that's unreasonable.

And also? I have some friends who know Japanese. Y'all ain't blaming NIS America enough. Japanese gendered pronouns are a bit different from English ones, and you know what nobody does in Japanese? Use masculine terms for Chihiro. NIS America are fucking hacks, y'all. "Genocide Jill" anyone? Gonta?! Yeah, the whole caveman speak? NIS AMERICA, THEY DID THAT. Also, they censored Komaeda's aborted love confession in SDR2. In the Japanese, that whole "I am truly in love with the hope that sleeps inside you"? Yeah he explicitly starts a love confession, USING FUCKING AISHITERU LIKE A FUCKIN MADMAN, and then chickens out at the last second from anxiety. Here's a literally decade old post translating it. Did I mention how goddamn old these games are? NIS. FUCKING. AMERICA. I could go on about hating them, but I think that if everyone knew they pulled that censoring gayness shit, y'all would start hunting them for sport by default.

As for V3... listen, Japan didn't even fucking know about the antis until a year ago. People tying it to that are just centering their own culture. What you actually have to do is know about Kamaitachi no Yoru, one of the popularizing works of the entire Visual Novel genre. In 1994. Well, technically you need to know about the sequel and some rerelease stuff.

See, the first game is a standard murder mystery VN. Nothing too remarkable there. The second game? The actors who played the characters in the based-on-a-true-story (in-universe) work of fiction of the previous game are invited to an island and events heavily mirroring the plot of the original murder mystery happen. Did I mention Chunsoft published this? Later they'd merge with the company Spike, forming Spike Chunsoft. Hmmmmmm.

Oh, but that's not what you need to know. WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW IS THE EASTER EGG WEIRD SHIT IN KnY2 YOU GET FOR 100% COMPLETION! YEAH, IT'S THAT SORT OF SHIT! What is it? A lot of weird weird shit, but there's one really really really important part.

The Easter Egg takes the form of a secret message placed in the game by the writer of the games. It states that the franchise contains secret brainwashing programs to make people worship and venerate Chunsoft so that Chunsoft can take over the world But wait, there's more! It also claims, get this, that the fictional characters are actually somehow alive and suffering through the entire plot of the games, which is needed to make this brainwashing program, and the murder mystery games are created by just inflicting the plot on these living fictional characters.

Team Danganronpa is literally Spike Chunsoft. Danganronpa V3 is a sequel to a 100% completion easter egg from a different franchise that was extremely massive in the 90s and early 2000s in Japan and completely unknown in the west. YEAH. What. The. Fuck. It has nothing to do with fanpol, it has to do with a mindfuck horror story. Oh, and fun fact: that easter egg? Also the first known instance of a horror story involving the fictional characters coming out of the horrifying cursed video game and killing a person irl. V3 is a sequel to the very first gaming creepypasta, which was written and included in the very game it is about. Isn't that fucking insane?!

Oh, and the blue silhouettes from UDG and DR3 also come from KnY. And the boat scene at the end of DR3 is a reference to KnY2. Like, they end the same way. And of course, the brainwashing program stuff should sound familiar.

[translation+lyrics] Afflict by Laur and Risa Yuzuki

So yeah this is another one I had half completed among my old files, this one actually released at the same time as Collapse iirc. No idea why I never got around to finishing it. Lyrics down below and see you all next time.

-------------------------------

Composer: Laur

Vocals: Risa Yuzuki

gekijou no me ga kawaku mounen ga moe tagiru

Thirsty eyes full of passion welling up with blind conviction

kanmuri yo boku no hou he mukuro no kogeta kono fuchi made oide

The crown goes to me Here in my abyss of charred corpses

saa dead or alive tetsu no kaoru hoshisuru mama ni kirisake saa dead or alive mou ochita no? kazari wo hai ni kaete sasage yo

Now, dead or alive? The scent of crimson red steel cutting through is the one thing that satisfies me Now, dead or alive? Have you fallen yet? Answer me All vanities shall be turned to dust And offered to me

noushou wo shiboridase tsumugu no wa tsumi no ito

Brains are squeezed out As I weave the thread of sin

ao no sora wa mujaki ni hareta ato no matsuri mijime na sugata

The pure blue sky remains unphazed The unsightly festival is over

mujou dato dare ga iu no? (seijuku shita taizai) kozue kara mitsu ga ochiru (nodo wo narashite)

Would you say it's heartless? (The sin of adulthood) Honey drips from the treetops (clearing your throat)

hora do or die hana wo sakasu tsumi no toge wa nukenai nee do or die koe kikasete shizuka na harawata ningyou kouketsu na doku ga shiitageru

Now it's do or die, as petals bloom (beautifully) The thorn of sin won’t come off (punishment) Hey, do or die, let’s hear your voice (is it there?) Quiet puny dolls Shall be subdued with the finest posion

ahh, yokaze wa shishi wo tadori oetsu ga towa ni hibiku kono kegare sae itoshiku nayuta no hoshi ni aegu

The night’s wind goes in all directions Carrying a lament that resonates eternally Even scum knows love panting under a million stars

dead or alive inga no moto chishio wo hokorashi geni sou dead or alive mogaita nara rinne no hate wa soko ni aru

Dead or alive, the origin of fate (atonement) Proud of the spilt blood (behold it) Yes, dead or alive you’ll have to struggle (lowly one) The end of rebirth lies ahead

shuuen michi mayoishi shikabane sainamareta kodou ga kanaderu seijaku ni yorokobi wo

Corpse lost on the way to demise This tortured pulse keeps beating Rejoicing in silence

GIN NO BARA (ENG) [Reiji Sakamaki]

Character: Sakamaki Reiji

CD: DIABOLIK LOVERS Sadistic Song Vol.5 REIJI SAKAMAKI Seiyuu: Katsuyuki Konishi Mai : Gin no Bara is a great Diabolik Lovers classic, without a doubt. However, my favourite version is the one by Reiji, probably with Subaru, Kanato. What's more, this translation was my very first in 2016, so I haven't touched anything up. Link to the song: here.

kurutta SAIRENSU ni hisonda kuro no KUREIDORU kashin ni yurete "moshi, owari ga aru nara, oshiete hoshii" muku na hitomi ni kotaeru imi wa naku

Hidden in the peaceful, disturbing silence, a cradle rocking with too much confidence "If this is the end… I want you to tell me" is the meaningless answer in your pure eyes.

sotto sabitsuita gin no bara nigiritsubusu no sa hidoi itami o wasurereba to, nomikurasedo omoi wa todokazu yami wa, rinne---……

Like gently breaking the tarnished silver rose If we could forget the cruel pain of fate, I could bleed you without caring how lethal it is This darkness… Is an endless cycle~

shizuka ni nemuru, anata no kubi ni nokotta akashi afureta NAMIDA no saki ni aru no ga towa no jubaku da toshite mo ima, kono itooshisa to, setsunasa o mune ni futari nemure

Sleeping quietly, those scars on your neck… To the point where even tears were an eternal curse Now this precious pain sleeps in our hearts

"owaranai nemuri da toshite mo---" yuganda MoonLight, waraeba kono chi, omoidashi gishin ni karareru "hi o, nikumitsudzukenasai, yasuragu kara ne" haha no juso ni sugaritsudzukete iku

"Even if it's a never-ending sleep… " In the distorted moonlight, if only I could laugh… Driven by the doubt of the memory of that blood "Keep hating the sun, because now I can bear it," still clinging to my mother's curse

None will be forgotten… Once I've tasted your delicious bloody scars. Our desires in this labyrinth, our lips entwine. Love is… So distant.

dare mo, yurusanai akai kizu amaku nametoreba futari no negai wa In The Labyrinth karada yosete kuchibiru, kawasu yo ai wa, tooku---… honoka ni kanji, anata no mimi ni sasayaku kibou yumemita omoi no hate ni tsuku no ga kurai shin'en da toshite mo ima, kono itooshisa to setsunasa o mune ni futari nemure

"ano tsumi ni, eien ni shibarareteiru---"

A faint feeling of inspiration, the wish of my whispers in your ears Even as we pass the darkness at the end of these feelings we dreamed of. Now this precious and this pain sleep in our hearts

"We are forever… Bound to this sin."

shizuka ni nemuru, anata no kubi ni nokotta akashi afurete NAMIDA no saki ni aru no ga towa no jubaku da toshite mo ima, kono itooshisa to setsunasa o mune ni honoka ni kanji, anata no mimi ni sasayaku kibou yum

"saa, ikimashou. kono chi no saki e---"

Sleeping peacefully, those scars on your neck… To the point where even tears were an eternal curse Now this precious pain sleeps in our hearts A faint feeling of inspiration, the wish of my whispers in your ears Even as we pass the darkness at the end of these feelings we dreamed of. Now this precious gift and this pain sleep in our hearts

"From now on, I'll wait for this blood."

Episode 4 : The Threat / 第4話『恫喝』

侍女「こんな下賤な食べ物を、梨花様に食べさせる気？！」

Jijo “Konna gesenna tabe-mono’o Rifa-samani tabe-saseru-ki?!”

Lady in waiting “How dare you try to feed Lady Lihua such lowly food!”

侍女「もっと豪華な食事じゃなきゃ、梨花様のお口に合わないわよね。こんなもの、梨花様にお見せすることすら、はばかりますわ」

Jijo “Motto gokana shokujija nakya, Rifa-samano okuchini awanai-wayone. Konna mono, Rifa-samani omise-suru-koto-sura habakari-masuwa.”

Lady in waiting “Only the most luxurious foods suit our Lay Lihua. I’d hesitate to even show this to her!”

侍女「梨花様のお口に合うと思っているのかしら？」

Jijo “Rifa-samano okuchini au-to omotte-iruno-kashira?”

Lady in waiting “Who would ever think Lady Lihua would enjoy something like this?”

侍女「梨花様のお口に合うものは、私たちが一番よく存じているのに」

Jijo “Rifa-samano okuchini au monowa, watashi-tachiga ichi-ban yoku zonjite-irunoni.”

Lady in waiting “We know best what Lady Lihua likes to eat.”

侍女「何をこの下女は、ぬけぬけと。恥を知りなさい」

Jijo “Nanio kono gejowa nuke-nuke-to. Hajio shiri-nasai.”

Lady in waiting “How dare you try to sneak this past us, servant. Shame on you.”

猫猫（あーあ、面倒くさい…できれば、水晶宮になんて、来たくなか��たんだけどな）

Maomao (Āa, mendo-kusai… Dekireba, Suisho-Kyu-ni-nante kitaku-nakattan-dakedona.)

Maomao (Yikes. What a pain. I’d never have come to the Crystal Pavilion if I’d had a choice, but…)

ーーーーー

語り「それは、翡翠宮に皇帝が訪れた夜のこと…」

Katari “Sorewa, Hisui-Kyuni koteiga otozureta yoruno koto…”

Narration “The night the emperor visited the Jade Pavilion…”

猫猫「毒はございません。それでは、失礼いたします。」

Maomao “Dokuwa gozaimasen. Soredewa, shitsurei itashimasu.”

Maomao “There is no poison. Excuse me.”

皇帝「待て。」

Kotei “Mate.”

Emperor “Wait.”

猫猫（帝に初めて声をかけられてしまった）

Maomao (Mikadoni hajimete koeo kake-rarete shimatta.)

Maomao (Uh-oh, the emperor directly addressed me for the first time.)

皇帝「噂の薬師殿に、頼みたいことがある」

Kotei “Uwasano kusushi-dononi, tanomi-tai kotoga aru.”

Emperor “I have a request for the famous apothecary.”

猫猫（噂？嫌な予感がする）「はっ」

Maomao (Uwasa? Iyana yokanga suru.) “Ha.”

Maomao (Famous? I have a bad feeling about this.) “Yes.”

皇帝「梨花妃の容体が悪い。しばらく、見てくれないか」

Kotei “Rifa-hino yodaiga warui. Shibaraku mite kurenaika.”

Emperor “Concubine Lihua is not well. Could you look after her?”

猫猫（「見てくれ」それはつまり、「治せ」と同義だ。帝の言葉は、天上の言葉。断ったりしたら、首が飛びかねない。）

Maomao (‘Mite-kure’, sorewa tsumari ‘naose’ to dogida. Mikadono kotobawa, tenjono kotoba. Kotowattari-shitara, kubiga tobi-kanenai.)

Maomao (By “look after her,” he means “cure her.” This word of the emperor is the word of the heavens. If I declined, that grounds for my beheading.)

猫猫「御意。」

Maomao “Gyoi.”

Maomao “Yes, Your Majesty.”

猫猫（それにしても、他の妃の前で言う話でもないのに…帝はやはり、つくづく帝という生き物なのだ）

Maomao (Soreni shitemo, hokano kisakino maede iu hanashi-demo nai-noni… Mikadowa yahari, tsuku-zuku ‘mikado’ to-iu ikimono nanoda.)

Maomao (Why would he say that in front of another concubine? His Majesty really is “an emperor” by nature.)

ーーーーー

猫猫（しかし、帝の勅命で来た人間に、この扱いとは…梨花様の侍女にとっちゃ、玉葉様に仕えている私のことが、よっぽど気に入らないんだろうな）

Maomao (Shikashi, mikadono chokumeide kita ningenni kono atsukai-towa… Rifa-samano jijoni toccha, Gyokuyo-samani tsukaete-iru watashino kotoga, yoppodo kini iranain-darona.)

Maomao (That said, it’s pretty incredible that they treat me like this. I’m here by imperial order. Since they serve Lady Lihua, I suppose they hate me as a servant of Lady Gyokuyou.)

侍女「掃除が終わったら、さっさと出て行ってちょうだい！」

Jijo “Sojiga owattara, sassato dete itte chodai!”

Lady in waiting “Get out if you’re done cleaning!)

猫猫「ぴょーん、ぴょん。仕方ない。もう一度、作り直すか」

Maomao “Pyōn, pyon. Shikata nai. Mo ichido, tsukuri-naosuka.”

Maomao “Boing boing. Oh, well. Guess I have to cook it again.”

ーーーーー

小蘭「猫猫、水晶宮にいるの？」

Shaoran “Maomao, Suisho-Kyuni iruno?”

Maomao “Maomao, are you at the Crystal Pavilion now?”

猫猫「うん、梨花様の容体を見に」

Maomao “Un, Rifa-samano yodaio mini.”

Maomao “Yeah, I’m looking after Lady Lihua.”

小蘭「そっかー、梨花様の具合、まだ良くならないんだね」

Shaoran “Sokkā, Rifa-samano guai, mada yoku naranain-dane.”

Xiaolan “I see. Lady Lihua hasn’t recovered yet…”

猫猫「おしろいの毒も、まだ体に残っているんだろう」

Maomao “Oshiroino dokumo, mada karadani nokotte-irundaro.”

Maomao “The whitening powder’s poison must still be in her system.”

小蘭「毒のおしろいか。あれから使用禁止になったんだって。後宮に残っていたものは、宦官が全部、回収したらしいよ」

Shaoran “Dokuno oshiroika. Are-kara shiyo-kinshini nattan-datte. Kokyuni nokotte-ita monowa, kanganga zenbu kaishu-shita rashiiyo.”

Xiaolan “The poisonous powder, huh? I heard it was banned. I heard the eunuchs took away all the remaining powder in the rear palace.”

猫猫「そっか、よかった」

Maomao “Sokka, yokatta.”

Maomao “I see. Good.”

小蘭「だけど、帝から頼まれごとをされるなんて、猫猫ってすごいよね！びっくりしちゃった」

Shaoran “Dakedo, mikado-kara tanomare-goto’o sareru-nante, Maomaotte sugoi-yone! Bikkuri shichatta.”

Xiaolan “But a request from the emperor? You’re awesome, Maomao. I was surprised!”

猫猫（こんな小娘に頼むなんて、よっぽど後宮医官が頼りないんだろう）

Maomao (Konna komusumeni tanomu-nante, yoppodo kokyu-ikanga tayori-naindaro.)

Maomao (He must really not trust the doctor to rely on a girl like me.)

小蘭「猫猫、このあと厨房だよね？」

Shaoran “Maomao, kono-ato chubo dayone?”

Xiaolan “Maomao, you’re going to the kitchen later, right?”

猫猫「うん」

Maomao “Un.”

Maomao “Yeah.”

小蘭「お料理頑張ってね」

Shaoran “Oryori ganbattene.”

Xiaolan “Good luck with the cooking!”

猫猫「ありがと」

Maomao “Arigato.”

Maomao “Thanks.”

猫猫「よし！」

Maomao “Yoshi!”

Maomao “Right!”

ーーーーー

猫猫（梨花様を見るにあたり始めたのが、食生活の改善だった。まず、体に残った毒を排出する。そのためには、繊維質の豊富な粥に、利尿作用のあるお茶がいいだろう。）

Maomao (Rifa-samao miruni atari, hajimeta-noga shoku-seikatsuno kaizen datta. Mazu, karadani nokotta dokuo haishutsu suru. Sono tame-niwa, sen’i-shitsuno hofuna kayuni, rinyo-sayono aru ochaga iidaro.)

Maomao (In looking after Lady Lihua, the first thing I set out to do was to improve her diet. First I needed to expel the poison still in her body. To do this, a porridge with lots of fiber, plus a diuretic tea sounds good.)

猫猫「これはダメ。こっちもダメで、あと、これと、それと…こっちと。あっ、そっちもダメで…」

Maomao “Korewa dame. Kocchimo damede, ato, koreto, soreto… kocchito. A, socchimo damede…”

Maomao “Not this. Not this either. This one… And this one, too. But not this one…”

ーーーーー

侍女「いいかげんにしなさいよ。ここは下賤の者が出入りするような場所じゃないのよ！」

Jijo “Iikagenni shinasaiyo. Kokowa gesenno monoga deiri suru-yona bashoja nai-noyo!”

Lady in waiting “Enough is enough! This is no place for lowly girls like you!”

猫猫「ぴょーん、ぴょん。先は長そうだな…」

Maomao “Pyōn, pyon. Sakiwa nagaso-dana…”

Maomao “Boing boing. This is going to take a while.”

ーーーーー

猫猫（それじゃあ、今度は…）

Maomao (Sorejaa, kondowa…)

Maomao (In that case, let’s try…)

猫猫「これと、それと、あれと、これと…」

Maomao “Koreto, soreto, areto, soreto…”

Maomao “This one, that one, the other one, and this.”

ーーーーー

侍女「何度言ったら分かるの！」

Jijo “Nando ittara wakaruno!”

Lady in waiting “How many times do I have to tell you?!”

猫猫「しかし、まずは消化のしやすいものを食べ…」

Maomao “Shikashi, mazuwa shokano shiyasui mono’o tabe…”

Maomao “Well, first, she needs to eat something easy to digest-“

侍女「そんな貧しいものより、まず病人には、十分な栄養が必要に決まっているでしょう」

Jijo “Sonna mazushii mono yorimo, mazu byonin-niwa, jubunna eiyoga hitsuyoni kimatte-irudesho.”

Lady in waiting “No way! Sick people need nutritious food, not cheap stuff like that. Obviously.”

猫猫（あれがいつもの食事か。確かに栄養は豊富だが、胃腸の衰えた病人には、重すぎる。ちょっと考えれば分かるだろうに。誰も止めないのか？）

Maomao (Arega itsumono shokujika. Tashikani eiyowa hofu-daga, ichono otoroeta byonin-niwa, omo-sugiru. Chotto kangaereba wakaru-daroni. Daremo tomenai-noka?)

Maomao (So that’s her usual meal. Sure, it’s nutritious, but it’s too heavy for a sick person’s weakened stomach. That’s not hard to understand. Why won’t anyone stop them?”

侍女「梨花様、食事をお持ちしました。梨花様のお好きなものを選びましたので、少しでも召し上がって下さい」

Jijo “Rifa-sama, shokujio omochi shimashita. Rifa-samano osukina mono’o erabi-mashita-node, sukoshi-demo meshi-agatte kudasai.”

Lady in waiting “Lady Lihua, your meal is ready. We brought you all the things you like. Please try to eat.”

侍女「梨花様！大変、どうしましょう？！早く水を！大丈夫ですか？！梨花様…」

Jijo “Rifa-sama! Taihen, do shimasho?! Hayaku mizuo! Daijobu desuka?! Rifa-sama…”

Lady in waiting “Lady Lihua?! Oh no, what do we do?! Quick, bring water! Are you all right, Lady Lihua?!”

侍女「梨花様、お水です。お飲みください」

Jijo “Rifa-sama, omizu desu. Onomi-kudasai.”

Lady in waiting “Lady Lihua, please have some water.”

猫猫「ん？お、おおおお…」

Maomao “N? O, oooo…”

侍女「あなたみたいな下賤な者がいるから、部屋の空気が悪いんだわ！早く出て行って！」

Jijo “Anata mitaina gesenna monoga iru-kara, heyano kukiga waruindawa! Hayaku detette!”

Lady in waiting “This is your fault, lowly servant! Your presence ruin the atmosphere! Get out! Now!”

猫猫「う…ぴょーん、ぴょ…はあ。このままじゃ、近づくことさえできやしない。はてさて、どうしたもんか…」

Maomao “Pyōn, pyo… Haa. Kono-mamaja, chikazuku koto-sae dekiya shinai. Hate-sate, do-shita-monka…”

Maomao “Boing, boing. I won’t even be able to get near her at this rate. Now, what shall I do…”

ーーーーー

猫猫「せめて、触診だけでも」

Maomao “Semete, shoku-shin dake-demo.”

Maomao “If I could at least do an examination…”

侍女「必要ないわ。あなたのせいで、これ以上悪くなったらどうするのよ！」

Jijo “Hitsuyo naiwa. Anatano seide, kore-ijo waruku nattara dosuru-noyo!”

Lady in waiting “No need. What if you make things worse?!”

猫猫（あのままだと、衰弱死は確実だ。食事をしないと、人は死ぬ。わが子を失ってから、生きる気力をなくしているんだろう。帝の勅命に背いた罪で、首と胴がさよならするまで、何日あることやら…）

Maomao (Ano mama-dato, suijaku-shiwa kakujitsuda. Shokujio shinaito, hitowa shinu. Wagako’o ushinatte-kara, ikiru kiryokuo nakushite-irundaro. Mikadono chokumeini somuita tsumide, kubito doga sayonara suru-made, nan-nichi aru koto-yara…)

Maomao (At that rate, she’s bound to wither and die. People die unless they eat. She probably lost the will to live after losing her child. How many days do I have left, before my head bids farewell to my body for defying the emperor’s order?)

壬氏「何かお困りのようだな」

Jinshi “Nanika okomarino yodana.”

Jinshi “It seems like you’re in a bit of a bind.”

猫猫「ん？う…。そのように見えますか？」

Maomao “N? U… Sono yoni miemasuka?”

Maomao “Does it appear that way to you?”

壬氏「そのように見えるが？」

Jinshi “Sono yoni mieruga?”

Jinshi “It does appear that way to me.”

侍女「壬氏様？！何なのあの女？！壬氏様と、どうして…」

Jijo “Jinshi-sama!? Nan-nano ano onna!? Jinshi-samato doshite…”

Lady in waiting “Master Jinshi?! What’s with that girl? Why is she with Master Jinshi…?”

猫猫「要らぬ誤解を…」

Maomao “Iranu gokaio…”

Maomao “An annoying misunderstanding…”

壬氏「とりあえず、中に入ろうか」

Jinshi “Toriaezu, nakani hairoka.”

Jinshi “Let’s go inside, for now.”

猫猫「ひいっ、うううう…」

Maomao “Hii, uuuu…”

侍女「壬氏様？！」

Jijo “Jinshi-sama!?”

Lady in waiting “M-Master Jinshi?!”

壬氏「帝の計らいを無下にするのは、美しき才女たちには、似合いませんよ」

Jinshi “Mikadono hakaraio mugeni suru-nowa, utsukushiki saijo-tachi-niwa niaimasen’yo.”

“It’s not befitting of beautiful and talented ladies like you to ignore the emperor’s arrangements.”

侍女「ま、まあ…そんな、無下になんて…」

Jijo “Ma, maa… sonna, mugeni nante…”

Lady in waiting “Oh! Oh no, we aren’t ignoring…”

侍女「そうですわ、私たちは、そんな…」

Jijo “Sodesuwa. Watashi-tachiwa sonna…”

Lady in waiting “Right. We were just, um…”

猫猫「…女ってのは、恐ろしいな…」

Maomao “…Onnatte-nowa, osoroshiina…”

Maomao “It’s scary how women can change so quickly.”

壬氏「ほれ、行け」

Jinshi “Hore, ike.”

Jinshi “There. Now go.”

猫猫（食べようとする意思はある。だが、思った以上に衰弱が激しい。重湯に替えれば、いけるか。え…）

Maomao (Tabeyoto suru ishiwa aru. Daga omotta-ijoni suijakuga hageshii. Omoyuni kaereba ikeruka. E…)

Maomao (She does have the will to eat. But she’s weaker than I thought.Maybe she can handle rice water instead.)

猫猫「失礼いたします」

Maomao “Shitsurei itashi-masu.”

Maomao “Excuse me.”

猫猫（前と同じ肌色…）

Maomao (Maeto onaji hada-iro…)

Maomao (The same shade as before…)

猫猫「妃に化粧をしているのは、お前か？」

Maomao “Kisakini kesho’o shite-iru-nowa, omaeka?”

Maomao “Are you the one in charge of the concubine’s makeup?”

侍女「ええ、そうよ。梨花様には、美しくあってほしいもの。それが侍女の務めですからね。全部、梨花様のためよ。当たり前でしょ」

Jijo “Ee, soyo. Rifa-sama-niwa, utsukushiku atte hoshii-mono. Sorega jijono tsutome desu-karane. Zenbu Rifa-samano tameyo. Atari-mae desho.”

Lady in waiting “Indeed I am. We want Lady Lihua to always be beautiful. That is our duty as ladies-in-waiting. It’s all for Lady Lihua. Obviously.”

猫猫「そうか」

Maomao “Soka.”

Maomao “I see.”

侍女「何すんのよ！」

Jijo “Nani sun-noyo!”

Lady in waiting “What’s wrong with you?!”

猫猫「あ？バカに折檻するだけだよ」

Maomao “A? Bakani sekkan suru-dake dayo.”

Maomao “Huh? Just punishing an idiot, obviously.”

侍女「ああっ、痛い！やめて！痛いって…」

Jijo “Aa, itai! Yamete! Itaitte…”

Lady in waiting “Ouch! You’re hurting me! Stop! It hurts!”

猫猫「そのうち全身に毒が回るだろう。よかったな。これでお前も、きれいになれるぞ。お慕いする梨花様と同じだ。血の気の失せた肌と、落ちくぼんだ眼窩と、食事もとれないような体。なんでこれが禁止されたか、分かってんのか！」

Maomao “Sono-uchi zen-shinni dokuga mawaru-daro. Yokattana. Korede omaemo, kireini nareruzo. Oshitai-suru Rifa-samato onajida. Chino keno useta hadato, ochi-kubonda gankato, shokujimo torenai-yona karada. Nande korega kinshi saretaka, wakatten-noka!”

Maomao “The poison will infect your whole body after a while. You should be glad. You’ll be pretty too, just like your beloved Lady Lihua. Pale, bloodless skin, sunken eye sockets, a body unable to even eat… Don’t you understand why this stuff was banned?!”

侍女「だ…だって…梨花様が喜ぶと思って…」

Jijo “Da…Datte…Rifa-samaga yorokobuto omotte…”

Lady in waiting “I j-just thought it would make Lady Lihua happy-“

猫猫「毒だっつってんだろうが。何も考えていない――自分が一番正しいと思って。誰が自分のガキ殺した毒を喜ぶんだよ！！さっさと口をゆすいで、顔も洗ってこい。おい！このままだと病人に障るだろ。この床も、さっさと掃除しろ！」

Maomao “Dokudattsutten-daroga. Nanimo kangaete inai――Jibunga ichiban tadashiito omotte. Darega jibunno gaki koroshita dokuo yorokobundayo!! Sassato kuchio yusuide, kaomo aratte-koi. Oi! Kono mama-dato byonin’ni sawaru daro. Kono yukamo, sassato soji shiro!”

Maomao “I told you, it’s poison. There are no thoughts in your head. You just think you know everything. Who would be happy poisoned with the same thing that killed their son?! …Go rinse your mouth and wash your face. Hey! This is bad for the patient. Clean this floor up immediately!”

侍女「は、はい！」

Jijo “Ha, Hai!”

Lady in waiting “Y-Yes!”

壬氏「ほう…。女とは、本当に恐ろしいな」

Jinshi “Ho… Onna-towa, hontoni osoroshiina.”

Jinshi “It truly is scary, how women can change so quckly.”

猫猫「あっ…。やってしまった……」

Maomao “A… Yatte-shimatta…”

Maomao “Oh……I’ve really done it now…”

猫猫（梨花様の容体は、思った以上に悪かった。雑穀の粥を重湯に作り直し、無理やり口を開けて流し込み、ゆっくり嚥下させるのを繰り返す。無礼など、今さら言ったところで、何も始まらない。換気を行うと、香が薄れ、病人特有のにおいがした。あの無能どもは、主人の体もまともに拭けないのか。あれでよく侍女が務まるな。香をたくことができるなら、その前にもっとやることがあるだろう。）

Maomao (Lady Lihua’s health was worse than I thought. I started by changing from porridge to rice water. I forced the food into her mouth and had her swallow slowly, repeatedly. No sense in worrying about manners at a time like this. I did some ventilation, which thinned out the incense, revealing the smell of the sick. Those incompetent fools can’t even wipe down their mistress properly? How do they even call themselves ladies-in-waiting? There’s so much they could have been doing before worrying about incense.)

猫猫「おい。湯桶と布の準備」

Maomao (She began to eat more, so I increased the amount of rice grains in the water. When she began to be able to swallow them, I added soup and ground fruit. I heard the lady-in-waiting was put in confinement. Apparently, she’d hid the powder for Lady Lihua. The eunuch who was supposed to recover the powder was punished by flagellation.)

Maomao (After about two months, Lady Lihua recovered enough to be able to walk by herself. She has self-respect, but isn’t arrogant. After that matter with the prince, I imagined her as a selfish princess, but as it turns out, she has a personality befitting a concubine.)

猫猫「それでは、明日の早朝に辞させていただきます。」

(Continue to episode 5)

[asoulofatlantis]

XD I am laughing my ass off here. What a great reaction *lol* Tita was so in awe by the technologies used for Lapis that she was like "I need to take her apart to look at the tech" she surely didn't mean it in a bad way, but she scared the heck out of Lapis, so apparently Agate has to put a leash on her XD

Look, I want my class 7 to be back together as much as they want to reunite with Rean but this was just an ridiculously stupid move. First of all all 3 teams would have reunited at the tower eventually anyway. It would have been much more useful for all teams to remain the way they were until then and reunite at the tower, which was their meeting point anyway. Second, Reans team is by default the biggest and thus didn't need the extra support of Alisa, Towa, Machias and Sharon so damn badly. And third, breaking of into small team to reunite with whoever will put them at a disadvantage compared to staying in this big and thus stronger groupe. But... whatever.

OKAY I admit it does feel good to have all my class 7 ducks in a row again. But I still stand by that this was a stupid move...

Obviously... when would he ever not?

FOUR FULL CHAPTERS my boy! I waited for chapters for this reunion and NIS just fucked up the translation to make it even less impactful than it already was for your standards. Seriously.

Are you now? Well... I guess you have to with this man by your side XD

I am not sure why everyone is so tense about this fight. Look at what we have at our disposal. Thors united Class7 in all its glory, including the super maid as well as the complete SSS AND Liberls greatest bracers and their ZFC Maskot. Among our team are two freaking Gralsritter. We have 3 former Jeagers among us too. What the hell could go wrong with such a team?

I am lucky that I am playing on very easy, because I am pretty sure otherwise I would need to put my team together with their strengths, weaknesses and Crafts in mind, instead of making a full out shipping-team XD

You know what is really frustrating? With almost all the other character, their redemption never felt like they really did anything change for the better or change their mind about things... in fact, I believe even at the end Crow still thought he had the right to kill Osborne. Most of them were hiding behind sad pasts, the influence of the curse and some brainwashing here and there. Few actually truly admitted that they have been wrong. Yes, some of them admitted that they did horrible things, but often not with it looking like they truly and fully regret them. And most of the time their way back into the world of the nice guys was just because the nice guys wanted them there, or accepted them there for one good deed. Rufus is one of the characters you just want to see dead after everything he did, after all his betrayals and the backstabbing and even after he decided to take all the blame on himself and with that managed to keep Lechter and Claire free. So starting this game, you wish him the worst. But you can just not keep that up, because he does actually has the most realistic change of all and he actually truly works for his redemption and deals with his faults and weaknesses along the way. It sucks so much that you don't want to like him, but the game made it plainly impossible to still hate him as much as before. And it makes you feel bad for hating on him, while people like Crow simply get away with what is basically nothing in comparison and yet you still can't help but somehow like them.

Yeah and here is a big "FINALLY!" from me. It was about time.

Then maybe it is time to become a lover... but there is no sense in even thinking about going down this road even tho it is cleary right ahead of us, given how Rixia still seems to after Lloyd in Kuro. It sucks but... nothing can be done about it. This moment will have to be enough.

You know its bad when this happens...

He hasn't done anything particularly bad in Kuro so far, aside from a few jabs at the empire and stuff like that... but seeing his damned face makes me so angry!

I guess I make my way into the reverie corridor and that it will be it for me for today.

Now that I am done for today I have a few quick choice words on the translation of this game that I have mostly been holding back, but can not hold back any longer.

First of all: The Ebon-Defense-Force originates in the Ebon-Knight and thus, they should have pronounced it in the same way. Dieter Croise is not called DieEter and its weird that Elie says it wrong and Lloyd says it right.

ALSO I do not claim to be able to read Japanese (I wish I could) but there are immense differences in translation between the Spreadsheet and the NIS-Translation and while I was at first assuming that since the spreadsheet was done only by a fan and very fast at that, that that meant it was a very rough translation there are certain parts, multiple that is, were I did somewhat understand what was said and I can definitely confirm they made some unnecessary changes multiple times.

Just to name the ones that obviously are the strongest to me is that they immensely towned down Reans favoring Alisa thingy when mentioning the guys stuck in Crossbell or even when greeting them when Reunited. There have been multiple occasions throughout the game were I know for a fact that Rean has either only mentioned Alisa (like when he was meant to reach Crow and then said he can not reach Alisa - I checked the translation back then because it seemed weird to me he would only mention Alisa instead of Towa who is his colleague - he actually really just mention Alisa and not Towa and Machias) or kept saying stuff "Alisa and the others" when talking about them as well as the Reunion-scene were he said "Alisa. Everyone", where I didn't need to even read Japanese because it was voiced and he did indeed only say Alisas name, but in the Translation of NIS he said: "Hey, over here!" or something like that without mentioning any name at all.

There have been multiple other occasions where I know for a fact that the lines were altered sometimes extremly. Even in "The fallen Prince" we have multiple moments that were changed that pissed me off. The red constellation mentioning that Cedric was worth being under Shirleys watch was an important point in that Story, because it was necessary to see between the lines what exactly Shirley had to lose, if Cedric would fuck it up. Instead they only said that théy now understand why Shirley sees potential in him, but the meaning is simple not the same. This is not just me nitpicking. Just seeing the potential in Cedric isn't enough here, the red constellation has to accept the work and time and effort Shirley puts into that boy. Speaking of which... as endearingly cute that "our boy" was, that is definitely NOT what Shirley said. Who does this "our" even refer too? Her and Garrath? Are they raising him together or what? It would have been a different story if she would have said "Our princeyboy" instead but I know for a fact that she never used his nickname in that story either.

And all the changes are even worse than some of the changes made in CS4. Titas and Agates scenes have been altered a lot in CS4, going to the point were they didn't allow Agate to actually hint at Tita being the most important person to him. Or changing the conversation were Rean is asked if he things the feelings Agate has for Tita are just the feelings of a Guardian and he says he doesn't believe its just a guardian thing.

I do partly get why they felt the need to tone down Tita and Agate as a ship but I don't get the sudden need for toning down Rean and Alisa or anything that could hint to much at Shirley and Cedric. Nor do I understand how it comes that Lloyd voice actor pronounces Dieter right and Elies doesn't.

Its frustrating and I feel like next time I play with the Japanese voices again just to here all the times they fuckt up the translation so obviously.

汝よ、くたばれ。反敵意主義などもくたばれ。由無ければなり。

内なる月影の中を忍び寄る翳りたる惡しき者、

媒介者を沁み透り、唾に溶くる喰ひ捲りの素、

内向きの停止裝置惰性、外向きの單純象徵反轉、

内なる淡紫の靈氣によりて呼び出だされし暴れ癖、

許しは讓られ、果てし無き永久の醉ひに迷ひ込み、

彩やかなる氖の通ひ路を通り拔くる天圖り、

幽くなりたる靈氣ぞ、心に傷を負ふ夢幻を通して碎け散りたる。

切り裂かれて朱に塗られたる手首、黃泉に沈み込む總ての亡き魂。

fuck you & fuck your anti-hostility principle, ain't mean nothing:

shaded demonic entity creeping through the inner moonlight,

seeping through vectors & dissolving in saliva, binge material,

inward killswitch inertia & outward simple symbol inversions,

violent minded tendencies summoned by inner violet auras,

permission delegated, lost in endless perpetual intoxication,

celestial mapping through the vivid neon shaded hallways,

darkened aura, shattered through these traumatic visions;

wrists slit & slick with vermilion, all lost souls sink below.

Do otome villainesses actually exist?

When browsing vndb,I got an idea; How many otome villainesses I can actually find. It’s well known in the otome community that villainesses are mostly a rarity usually reserved for mobages and faceless mobs. 

While you’ll be hard pressed to find a villainess in a modern otome game due to multiple reason “some people consider it sexist plus let’s be real in a good chunk of plot oriented otome who has time for -insert jealous twin drill groupie- when the world’s about to end”?

So when sifting through the rival tag I got a decent bunch of characters that fit the role.

(Please note: I don’t have much info on these character outside of character summary, so I don’t know if they hit the other tropes of otome isekai like dying horribly, attempting to kill the heroine or a condemnation event plus I never played these games)

Charlotte Eckerhardin- Pretty☆Witch☆Academy! (R18)

She’s betrothed to one of the love interests and in love with another plus she’s described as “determined to make him her "Partner" any way necessary.”

Wakamori Midori- Miss Princess Miss Pri!

There actually three rivals but Midori fits the bill the most being haughty and hass a prissy look to her

Jougasaki Ririko- Saikin Koi Shiteru?

In love with one of the love interest and is described “the jealous prideful type who hates to lose”

Cossette Gipeldi- Oukyuu Yasoukyoku

In love with LI and eats the protagonist like a rival due to her being his twin sister. (And if you’re wondering, Yes they go there)

Yuurakuin Towako- Full House Kiss

A haughty girl who’s cold to the protagonist. It says “her goal is to gain elite status by marrying a rich and powerful man” so there’s a good chance that she could be gunning for one of MC’s LIs

Richil Emaiyu & Deana Carlsait - Ripple no Tamago ~Apprentice Magician~

Mainly Richil due to her antagonizing the MC and stealing her work (plus she has twin drills). Idk if Deana counts since she’s actually a LI’s rival.

Elizabeth- Soshite Kono Sora ni Kirameku Kimi no Uta

Haughty looking girl who considers herself the MC’s rival.

Carlotta- PersonA ~Opera Za no Kaijin~ (R18)

A prima donna who flirts with one of the love interest. Plus, she ends up dying.

Ejima Shikiko- Hanaoni ~Koi Someru Toki Towa no Shirushi~

Treats the protagonist as an obstacle due to them being oni’s brides

Goutokuji Sakurako- Dear My Sun!! ~Musuko★Ikusei★Capriccio~

She kinda counts... She’s more of rival in the “who’s kid is better” raising sim of the game then a love rival. Plus twin drills.

Hayami Nadeshiko- Sto☆Mani ~Strobe☆Mania~

Doesn’t get along with the MC and respect the LI (tbh she seems more like a tsundere than a villainess)

Kotoo Ruka- Panic Palette

Has a connection with LI and considers the protagonist a rival at first sight (a bit extra but go off)

Ookuma Karen - Butlers ~Meshimase Ojou-sama~

In love with LI and related to another.

Fana De La Wibell Leyendike- Albaria no Otome

Wealthy, Ambitious, and a daughters of noble

Shinogami Rie- True Fortune

I don’t have much on this girl but she’s described as cold-hearted

Toujou Yurika- Otometeki Koi Kakumei★Love Revo!!

A wealthy girl who bullies the MC out of envy

Cordelia- Diabolik Lovers

I guess she counts. She’s a haughty noblewoman who torments the MC over a man (either her husband or her sons) or power 

Madame du Barry- Bara ni Kakusareshi Verite

Arrogant and literally holds animosity toward the MC for not knowing her.

Rika- Amnesia

Practically the most well known otome villianess. Basically made the MC’s life hell of a LI. She did become friends with her in the later game, tho. Plus she runs with toast in her mouth (Not relevant whatsoever but I had to tell someone that fact)

Cynthia/Adele/Martha- Wand of Fortune

In love with LI and causes trouble for the MC, though they seem to comic relief for the most part.

Welp, that was lot. I guess the main conclusion is yes otome villainess did exist but they mainly seemed to died off. some are more rivals in technical aspects like magic or jobs. Interestingly, I found a lot of stereotypical snobby ojou-sama rival type from galges.

This is a bit rambly, I’ll edit in pictures later, I have to get to sleep

[translation+lyrics] 永久の果てに by ネクロフィリカ

Ah, Necrophilica, the lesser acknowledged of the ArsMagnA bands, perhaps due to their spicy name. Also because they stopped operations around 2014, who’s the corpse now amirite?. At least the vocalist for this song still gets credited in -Lostfairy- albums sometimes so it’s not like they’ve fully disappeared from existence.

Anyway, this is actually a pretty cool track and probably the one that’s stuck with me the most in the album (along with the next one), Life Rubato has a really sick voice and I low key wish I could sound like that. Lyrics down below and see you soon.

永久の果てに (Towa no hate ni, At the end of eternity)

by ネクロフィリカ Lyrics, composition and vocals: Life Rubato

nagareyuku hikari no mure tomosu kokoro samezame ni kunda saki no kanata hitoshirezu ai wo utau

the shining ones are coming to enlighten our hearts coming from beyond to sing of the love we can't grasp

yomigaeru ari hi no yume nozomu kokoro taetae ni hotsureta kazuto hiki kae ni toki wa nagareyuku

to revive the dream of old that's been lost to these hearts after countless trials as the time has gone on

yobiatte kasanatte yuraufu hitokage kuon no yume hatenaku toozakaru

hear the overlapping calls of the humans bound to that endless dream as they've been rejected by eternity

kitto kaerenai

surely they'll never come back

dakiyoseru kotonoha yuragu ten to naki odoru kageri yuku hikari no naka kaerimiru koto mo yurusarezu hirogaru kanata he de zuru ten wo dakiodoru idakareru kodou no mama de irareru koto wo shinjite

embracing those words they tremble and cry for the heavens as they somberly walk the path of light, not daring to look back they embrace the extending horizon of heaven trusting in the last heartbeats while they remain

aa ikudo negae domo sono hitomi wa

oh, how have I longed for that sight

yobiatte kasanatte kieru hitokage kuon no hate tatazumi hajimete kitsuku toki ga kuru

hear the overlapping calls of the humans bound to that endless dream as they've been rejected by eternity

dakiyoseru kotonoha yuragu ten to nakiodoru kageri chiru itami no naka kaerimiru koto mo kanawazu ni hirogaru kanata he de zuru ten wo dakiodoru iza kareru toki wo egaite furikaeru koto no nakiyou

embracing those words they tremble and cry for the heavens as they somberly walk the path of light, not daring to look back they embrace the extending horizon of heaven as the end arrives, let's not look back to it

Personnage : Sakamaki Reiji CD : DIABOLIK LOVERS Sadistic Song Vol.5 REIJI SAKAMAKI Seiyuu : Katsuyuki Konishi Mai : Gin no Bara est un grand classique de Diabolik Lovers, sans hésitation.

Notes:

*髪を固めて - hardening your hair by gel? so i translated it as styling your hair

*君を細胞まで落とす - can also mean we’ll win you over / make you swoon down to your very cells???? not sure about that so i went for literal

QUARTET CROWN

「ついておいで」のFirst word “Tsuite oide” no First word En los días que se han ido superponiendo

重ね合う日々が Kasaneau hibi ga Luego de la primera palabra de “ven conmigo”*,

Dear my precious Mi preciosa amada,

こんなに募り Konna ni tsunori Te he amado tanto,

愛にした Ai ni shita Cada día más

火花が弾け飛んだ Hibana ga hajiketonda Las chispas estallaron

視線のクチヅケ Shisen no kuchizuke Con el beso de una mirada

No, no, missing No, no, desaparece

燃える為の恋への導火線に Moeru tame no koi e no doukasen ni Y encendieron la mecha del amor

火をつけた Hi o tsuketa Para arder

そして求め合う Soshite motomeau Entonces nos deseamos

Te amo, Te quiero

Dancing Bailando

甘美なる Kanbinaru En un momento

熱に Netsu ni De fascinación

魅惑のひととき Miwaku no hitotoki Por este dulce calor

今宵は Koyoi wa Esta noche,

二人 Futari Mientras  

夜明けを Yoake o Esperamos juntos

待つまで Matsu made Hasta que amanezca,

禁断の Kindan no Ese sueño

夢を Yume o Prohibido

夢じゃなくそう Yume janaku sou No será sólo un sueño

Te amare por siempre

踊ろう共に Odorou tomo ni Bailemos juntos

月明かり愛し合って Tsukiakari aishiatte Y amémonos a la luz de la luna

吐息がセクシーに頬をくすぐる Toiki ga sekushii ni hoho o kusuguru Los suspiros hacen cosquillas en las mejillas de manera sexy

その先のキスに堕ちよう Sono saki no kisu ni ochiyou Así que vamos a caer en un beso más allá de eso

王冠を目指しきった空の果て Oukan o mezashi kitta sora no hate La corona a la que apuntamos está al final del cielo

き Ki Y

み Mi Te

も Mo Llevaremos

つ Tsu Con

れてく Reteku Nosotros

生まれながらの王など Umarenagara no ou nado No existe tal cosa

存在はしない Sonzai wa shinai Como un rey innato,

Legend days Días de leyenda

人が認めて Hito ga mitomete La gente es quien los reconoce

器になる Utsuwa ni naru Y los convierte en uno

道を振り返るなら Nichi o furikaerunara Si miro hacia atrás en mi camino,

愛に振り返れ Ai ni furikaere Miro atrás en el amor

No, no, praying No, no, rezando

今の自分を輝かせてくれた Ima no jibun o kagayakasete kureta A la sonrisa que hizo que el yo de ahora

笑顔へと Egao e to Brillara

そしてまた歌う Soshite mata utau Entonces cantaré de nuevo

Te amo, Te quiero

Singing Cantando

夢も愛も Yume mo ai mo Soy un rey codicioso

ぜんぶ Zenbu Que quiere

強欲な王さ Gouyokuna ou sa Todos los sueños y el amor

広がった Hirogatta Llevaremos

世界 Sekai El mundo

煌めいた Kirameita Que se extiende

明日に Ashita ni Al brillante

連れてく Tsureteku Mañana

それが Sore ga Esa es

カルテット魂 Karutetto tamashii El alma del cuarteto

Eres amor de mi vida

決して離さない Kesshite hanasanai De ahora en adelante

1秒も…この先も Ichi byou mo… Kono saki mo Nunca te dejaré ir… ni por un segundo

その首筋に消えても…消えても Sono kubisuji ni kiete mo… Kiete mo Aunque desaparezcan de tu cuello… Aunque desaparezcan,

深くずっと残る痣を Fukaku zutto nokoru aza o Las marcas que dejé ahí serán profundas por siempre

飽くなき熱情を貪って Akunaki netsujou o musabotte Esta insaciable pasión nos está devorando

と To ¿Vamos

ろ Ro A

け Ke De-

あ A Rre-

おうか？ Ou ka? Tirnos?

誰にも手の届かない高みへ Darenimo te no todokanai takami e Si estamos contigo seguramente seremos capaces

君となら行けるはず Kimi to nara ikeru hazu De llegar a alturas que nadie más puede alcanzar

「今」へと止(とど)まることは似合わない “Ima” e to todomaru koto wa niawanai No va con nosotros el detenerse en el “ahora”

終わりなき階段へと Owari naki kaidan e to Vamos por unas escaleras interminables

Te amare por siempre

踊ろう共に Odorou tomo ni Bailemos juntos

RISE AGAIN愛し合って RISE AGAIN aishiatte Y amémonos levantándonos de nuevo

Eres amor de mi vida

決して離さない Kesshite hanasanai Nunca te dejaré ir

永遠(とわ)の夢　永遠(とわ)に飛ぼう Towa no yume towa ni tobou Así que volemos por siempre en este sueño eterno

王冠を目指しきった空の果て Oukan o mezashi kitta sora no hate La corona a la que apuntamos está al final del cielo

き Ki Y

み Mi Te

も Mo Llevaremos

つ Tsu Con

れてく Reteku Nosotros

踊り疲れたら Odori tsukaretara Si estás cansada de bailar,

内緒でぬけよう Naisho de nukeyou Escapemos en secreto

終わりなき夢の Owari naki yume no Quiero enseñarte un mapa

地図をみせたい Chizu o misetai A un sueño sin fin

Notas:

* Se refieren a “luego de su primera canción” porque “I Love you tsuite oide” es la primera línea de QUARTET★NIGHT, su canción debut.

* Hay más referencias a  QUARTET★NIGHT (casi todas las líneas en inglés aquí son también líneas en esa canción) así como a sus primeros duetos (en los coros dicen el título -o parte- de sus duetos).

* Las líneas en español que no tienen letra en japonés ni romaji, así son originalmente en la canción (por ello también los errores ortográficos y gramaticales).
