onajiananomujina // 東方事変

The expression used (同じ穴の狢; onaji ana no mujina) means something alike “birds of a feather”, or “villains of the same stripe”

同じ墓場のムジナ
onaji hakaba no mujina

Villains of the same grave

待って　待って　待って　追いかけた手を
払って　笑って　じゃあねって出ていく
matte matte matte oikaketa te wo
haratte waratte jaa ne tte dete iku

Wait, wait, wait, the hand that chased after me
I brushed it off, laughed, said “see you” and left

残されたこの身一つ
発破かけて意気込んで
おいでませ
眠らない、ネオンひかる盛り場へ
nokosareta kono mi hitotsu
happa kakete iki konde
oidemase
nemuranai, neon hikaru sakariba he

I was left here, all by myself
A fire lit under me, I got worked up
So welcome,
I still can’t sleep, neons light up the busy streets, where I head

低い空に谺してる
面倒な泣き言とWho’s there?
遠い過去にかき消された
居場所を求めては這う
hikui sora ni kodama shiteru
mendou na nakigoto to Who’s there
tooi kako ni kakikesareta
ibasho wo motomete wa hau

Annoying complaints echo
Under the low hanged sky, who’s there?
I crawl, longing for a home
Left behind in the long forgotten past

泣いて　濡れて　慣れて　熟すまでよ
躊躇って　触れて　破って取り付ける
naite nurete narete jukusu made yo
tameratte furete yabutte toritsukeru

Cry, get all wet, get used to it before you break to pieces
Have doubts, touch, destroy and put it back again

高い衣を身に纏いし
前例のない夜のShowTime
所詮晒すこの体を
意味もなく着飾って
takai koromo wo mi ni matoi shi
zenrei no nai yoru no Show Time
shosen sarasu kono karada wo
imi mo naku kikazatte

An expansive robe’s wrapped around my body
It’s the show time, not alike last night
After all, I expose my bare body
Dressing up was meaningless

窮屈に生き急いで
やれ彼方は誰だ？
行ったり来たり繰り返し
楽園も忙しねぇな
kyuukutsu ni ikiisoide
yare achira wa dare da
ittari kitari kurikaeshi
rakuen mo isogashi nee na

I live a strict life, always in a hurry
Oh my, who’s over there?
A loop of going back and fro
Heaven’s surely busy

暗い夜に谺してる
面倒な泣き言とWho’s there?
不幸の種　産み落とした
貴方を探していた
kurai yoru ni kodama shiteru
mendou na nakigoto to Who’s there
fukou no tane umiotoshita
anata wo sagashiteita

Annoying complaints echo
In the gloomy night, who’s there?
I drop a seed of unhappiness
While looking for you

路頭の淵　迷い込んで
居場所を求めていた私は
「ジキニナレル」予想通り
すっぽりとおさまるわ
rotou no fuchi mayoikonde
ibasho wo motometeita watashi wa
‘jiki ni nareru’ yosou toori
suppori to osamaru wa

Lost among the roadsides
I long for a place to call home
“It’s finally the time for this” – not surprisingly
I was immediately satisfied

イミフイミテーション // 東方事変

乗り換え can mean both “moving on” as well as “changing a train/bus”, couldn’t find a clever way to bled these two together, hence this note.

Feeling an intense loathing, LOA-THING

Deep inside my chest, I can feel something welling up
It’s the sensitivity, SEN-SITIVITY I hold
I can’t comprehend the meaning of people who can read situations well

乗り遅れた最終の
アナウンスが響く

I have no purpose, like a cuckoo in the middle of the winter
Lamenting its own existence, does it yearn for somebody?

きらきら鏡の中には
いつだって退屈顔した　わたし泣いているみたいだ
蜻蛉が空を駆けていく
そうやってぼんやりしてたら　季節すり抜けていった
あの日を早く思い出して　深く潜って水の湖を泳いでいたのに

Inside a shining mirror
My perpetually bored face reflects, almost as if I was about to cry
Dragonfly dashes through the sky
As it does so, absentmindedly, it escapes the current season
I quickly reminisce that one day, even though I want to swim in the deep waters of the lake

走り出したら誰も止められない　君と二人で落ちていくの
振り落とされて傷ついてもいい　スピードは緩めないで
hashiridashitara dare mo tomerarenai kimi to futari de ochiteiku no

Once I start running, no one can stop me, I will fall together with you
I don’t mind even being thrown off and hurting myself, I won’t slow down

しゅわしゅわ溶けて流れ出す
定期的噴出するから　まるで間欠泉だね
コスモス千切って占うの
センチメント閉じ込めてたから　季節すり抜けていった
あの日を忘れないでよ　ぐるりまわって水の湖を歩いていたのに
shuwashuwa tokete nagaredasu

kosumosu chigitte uranau no
senchimento tojikometeta kara kisetsu surinuketeitta
ano hi wo wasurenaide yo gururi mawatte mizu no mizuumi wo aruiteita no ni

Bubbles dissolve and drift away
They constantly erupt, almost like geyser of sorts
Pull cosmos’ petals out, I’ll tell you your fortune
I lock my sentiments away, escaping the current season
Don’t forget that day, even though I want to walk the swirling waters of the lake

七年前の確かな約束　頭の片隅に残っているかな？

7 years ago we certainly made a promise, I wonder if it’s still somewhere in my head?

走り出したら誰も止められない　君と二人で落ちていくの
雨風の中　泥だらけでいい　君と二人で笑い合える
走り出したら　君と二人で落ちていくの
振り落とされて傷ついてもいい
何も怖くないから　スピードは緩めない

Once I start running, no one can stop me, I will fall together with you
I’m fine being covered in mud, standing in a storm, as long as we can laugh together
Once I start running, I will fall together with you
I don’t mind even being thrown off and hurting myself
I’m not afraid at all, so I won’t slow down

All I yearned for were the words I wished for
I split things I don’t want to admit to
Knowing everything is impossible
Why did I expect anything? Such vanity…

I scream, and atop the water, the shadow of my voice is reflected

夜な夜なエゴサーチ // 東方事変

“Self Searching”, as I translated it, means basically googling your own name, or searching yourself on Twitter etc.
