ONIGAWARA - Tank Top wa niawanai (english translation)



タンクトップは似合わない / Tank Tops Don’t Suit Us

From the trapezius to the deltoid
To the showy biceps
From the serratus anterior to the muscles of the forearm
To the pecs, yeah yeah yeah yeah!!
From the external and internal obliques
To the ripped abs
From the teres major to the lats
To the gaudy hips, no no no no!!

No matter how I chase after them,
No matter how I case after them,
It’s like they’re a mirage I can’t quite get a hold of
Why?
Even we’re supposed to be created equal, aren’t we?
Summer is coming again, isn’t it?

Tank tops don’t suit us
Let’s have a party on the sparkling beach and make some noise people!
I want to wear a tank top
And join those sunburnt, muscular perfect bodies*
I’m dreaming of you, my beautiful tank top baby

Skin and bones, with a perm and glasses
Chubby, with a shaved head and glasses
Whether it’s red or blue, we’re both making noise
With a mic in our left hands
Not in tank tops, but running shirts**
Not in denim shorts, but jeans***
Outside is a coat, inside there’s underwear
Is this “normcore”? No no no no!!****

No matter how I ask,
No matter how I ask
There’s no answer in this life
None but to survive!
Even if it’s just once, it’s a waste if you don’t enjoy yourself*****
Look, summer is coming

Tank tops don’t suit us
Let’s have a party on the sparkling beach and make some noise people!
I want to wear a tank top
And join those sunburnt, muscular perfect bodies*
I’m dreaming of you, my beautiful tank top baby

Summer means fireworks and a BBQ
You sunburnt guys and girls aren't scared, right?******
I’m listening to Southern and RIDE ON TIME
And I want to go to those festivals I’ve been admiring with Gawara*******

Tank tops don’t suit us
Let’s have a party on the sparkling beach and make some noise people!
I want to wear a tank top
And join those sunburnt, muscular perfect bodies*
I’m dreaming of you, my beautiful tank top baby

Notes:
*Could also be something like “With a sunburnt, muscular perfect body”
**As in an athletic shirt with sleeves (presumably because they put less emphasis on the arms?)
***It just says “denim”, but I’m assuming here that they mean instead of the traditional summer cut-offs to show off they’re wearing full-length jeans to hide their legs
****Apparently this is a fashion trend about wearing unpretentious and “normal” clothing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normcore
*****Not sure about this line
******Not sure about this one either
*******I think their fans are called “Gawara”?

ONIGAWARA - Yokubou (english translation)

Not really sure about this one, but I tried.



欲望 / Desire

Lyrics: Takeuchi Satifour
Music: ONIGAWARA

We don’t have time to waste being idle
Life is over in one shot for you & I
You can’t cheat your way out, and there’s no going back
I don’t know what will come my way in the future
It’s the rise and fall of life, constantly going up & down
If there were only good things, it’d be too boring, wouldn’t it?

If all you can say is “which one is good?” or “that one is bad”,
Won’t you please just go away?

I want that
And I want this too
I don’t need something similar
I want to do that
And I want to do this too
If I surrender to my desire,
Will I be able to steal away your heart?

“Stop going so slow, it’s annoying”*
I feel like our paces aren’t matching at all
If I can’t give chase, will you leave me behind? Baby**
Even so, if I’m really important to you,
Grab my hand and pull me along, baby***

Saying things like “Either is fine” or “Any one is fine”, you can’t be negligent like that
Maybe it’s just because you can’t get the thing that’s truly precious to you?

I want that
And I want this too
I don’t need something similar
I want to do that
And I want to do this too
If I surrender to my desire,
Will I be able to steal away your heart?

If you notice me,
If you decide that you need me,
Things like genres and categories won’t matter
If you give to me,
I’ll want to give to you as well
And from now on, I swear I’ll always sing for you

I want love
I want money
But more than all that, I want you
I want to kiss you
I want to hold you
Somehow, if I’m able to say it frankly,****

I want that
And I want this too
I don’t need something similar
I want to do that
And I want to do this too
If I surrender to my desire,
Will I be able to steal away your heart?

You noticed me,
And you decided that you need me,
So, from now on, I swear I’ll always sing for you

Notes:
*,**,***,**** I’m really not sure about these lines

Back Drop Cinderella - Berlin Trombone (english translation)



ベルリントロンボーン / Berlin Trombone

Music and Lyrics: Back Drop Cinderella

Eins, zwei, eins, zwei, eins, zwei

Berlin is the best (Berlin is the best!)
Berlin is so great (Berlin is so great!)

Berlin is the best (Berlin is the best!)
Berlin is so great (Berlin is so great!)

It seems like such a historic city
Berlin has a great reputation (Berlin has a great reputation!)

Somehow, it’s really great, isn’t it?
As I thought, it’s pretty great
Berlin is the best (Berlin is really cool)
That’s right, isn’t it?
It’s good, isn’t it?
That’s right
I want to try and go there sometime

Of course, I don’t really know
I don’t really know,
And I’m not particularly interested*
You haven’t been either
You haven’t been either,
But whenever you’re free, let’s do it again**

Eins, zwei, eins, zwei, eins, zwei

Somehow, it’s really great, isn’t it?
As I thought, it’s pretty great

It’s good, isn’t it?
That’s right
I want to try and go there sometime

Of course, I don’t really know
I don’t really know,
And I’m not particularly interested*
You haven’t been either
You haven’t been either,
But whenever you’re free, let’s do it again

I’m fine with staying in Japan,
Since there are still things I wanna do here
If it’s not enough for you,
See you, and take care

Eins, zwei, eins, zwei, eins, zwei

Notes:
*Not sure about this line
**Maybe he means “Let’s talk about it again”? Seems weird that he says they both haven’t gone and then says “kurikaeshi”

ONIGAWARA - Shutter Chance '93 (english translation)

I'm not super confident about this one, but I think the general message is there.



シャッターチャンス'93 / Shutter Chance ‘93

Lyrics: Takeuchi Satifour
Music: ONIGAWARA

Shutter chance
Shutter chance
Let it fly! Artistic selfie magic
Don’t use any apps, okay?
Shutter chance
Shutter chance
45-degree angled selfie magic
I wonder which one is the real you?

Why is the you I see on my timeline always so cute?
You flick your thumb,
Wink with your left eye,
And write “ii ne” in a heart*
Your beauty when you’re just waking up isn’t reflected on the film
Let’s see __’s new work and go to drink together next time**

You can give yourself a completely different person’s proportions
This technology didn’t exist in 1993
Today everyone is a magician
And you can become Cinderella right away***

Shutter chance
Shutter chance
Let it fly! Artistic selfie magic
Don’t use any apps, okay?
Shutter chance
Shutter chance
45-degree angled selfie magic
I wonder which one is the real you?

Today, my timeline is overflowing with the same faces
I wonder where the real you is, and what you’re thinking about?

This is promotion in the modern era
It can’t stay the same as it used to be in 1993
The whole country is filled with artists
And we can become celebrities right away

Shutter chance
Shutter chance
Let it fly! Artistic selfie magic
Don’t use any apps, okay?
Shutter chance
Shutter chance
45-degree angled selfie magic
I wonder which one is the real you?

Hey, do you remember?
Back then, we used to wind the film with our thumbs
Hey, now we’re turning the whole world around with our thumbs
Even though I want you to only show your real self to me

Shutter chance
Shutter chance

Shutter chance
Shutter chance
Let it fly! Artistic selfie magic
Don’t use any apps, okay?
Shutter chance
Shutter chance
45-degree angled selfie magic
I wonder which one is the real you?

Eggu pose!
Toothache pose!
Howling pose!
E jan**** pose!

And, finally, everybody peace!

Notes:
*I don’t know if this refers to her writing it on her own photos or if he is pressing the heart icon on Twitter or Facebook or something
**,*** Not sure about these lines

ONIGAWARA - Let's Dance!! (english translation)



Let’s Dance!!

Lyrics: Takeuchi Satifour
Music: ONIGAWARA

The truth is, I'm definitely really interested in you
What do you think of me?
How things are going to progress from here
My imagination has reached its limit
I want to learn more and more about you
Tonight, definitely
That’s right, I want to know the answer
Following some boring formula is no good
Teachers don’t know the solution
And places like schools can’t teach it
But the answer is definitely somewhere in this night

You can’t take that first step
You hesitate, saying “Someone like me…”
Saying things like “That’s pathetic” or “uncool”*
You don’t really feel that way, do you?**

Let’s dance!!
Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing
Right now!!
Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right?
Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!!
Let’s get together now!!

“Hey, sensei, won’t you teach me?”
Things are going to progress from here***
Let’s break away from this boring party
On the stage of the starry sky
The mirrorball moon is circling round
We’ll share a romantic dream tonight

You trip on the first step
And you end up lying down on top of the asphalt
People say things like “pathetic” and “uncool”
But, it’s okay if you can get up from there, right?

Let’s dance!!
Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing
Right now!!
Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right?
Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!!
Let’s get together now!!

Society makes you dance along with it****
But there’s no one like you
People say things like “pathetic” and “uncool”
But, I wonder if those are really such bad things to be?

Let’s dance!!
Let’s clap our hands with everyone else!
Right now!!
Even if you’re out of time, it’s okay, right?
If you believe only in your own heart

Let’s dance!!
Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing
Right now!!
Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right?
Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!!
Let’s get together now!!

WANIMA - 1106 (english translation)



1106

Music and Lyrics: Matsumoto Kenta

Dear xx,
I wonder if you’re getting used to your new life?*
You’re probably worried about a lot of things, but
Is there a sea over there?

The sweets you like that haven't changed at all over the years
Going from your usual seat to the balcony
Even the sun shining on the smoke from your cigarette
I’m remembering all those things vividly

The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship**
Looking out towards the open sea
On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too
The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship
Looking out towards the open sea
On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too
Being rocked by the waves…

Far away, so far away that it's astonishing
You’ve taken off on a journey to somewhere faraway
Hey, is it okay if I sing so I can remember you, on days when things don’t go my way?***
You taught me to do that, right?
That’s what you taught me…isn’t it?

I started wanting to hear your voice
So I did an impression of you and laughed
At 4:49, the mundane scenery was transformed

The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship
Looking out towards the open sea
On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too
The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship
Looking out towards the open sea
On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too
Being rocked by the waves…

The wind is cold and the lattice door is shaking
My body is getting chilled by the draft entering through it,
But without letting out even a single little sound,
I’m heading towards the sea
I wonder how many times I’ve been saved by pretending that everything is okay

Far away, so far away that it's astonishing
You’ve taken off on a journey to somewhere faraway
Hey, is it okay if I sing so I can remember you, on days when things don’t go my way?***
So I can see if you’re out there somewhere, wave your hand…
So they can see you from even where the anchor has been dropped, wave your hand…

Yours truly****

Notes:
*It seems to imply that this is someone who has moved away, but it might also apply to someone that has died
**Do ships make a tapping sound? I feel like this might mean a different noise, but I can’t really imagine what it would be
*** I feel like I might be reading this line wrong as well
****Kenta doesn’t sing this line, but it was in the kanji and I think it ties the letter theme of the song together nicely, so I left it in

Kimi to mata kao o awaseta nara, nante ieba ii ka na?

SNOWY BLUE
Maru de, hajime kara shiranai hito no you ni furumaeta nara.
LAST IN BLUE
Kimi wa sunete kureru ka na?
Nanimo omowanai ka na…

Usuku irozuita KISU no hashibashi ga, mou ichido hoshii yo.
Hon de yomu “usotsuki” no imi mo mada shiranai.

Aoku toumei na ketsumatsu ni kizuki, kimi wa kite waratta.
“Usotsuki!” to hontou no imi no kotoba de, dakiyosete, shikatta.

WANIMA - Tomo ni (english translation)

Some of these lines are probably a little off, but I think the gist of the song is there. If you have any corrections, feel free to let me know. :)



ともに / Together

Lyrics: KENTA
Music: WANIMA

No matter how bitter and dark the past is,
Even if tomorrows where you’re even more troubled than the previous day keep increasing,
Worrying and crying, today as well,
Continue the way you are
To the place where your heart dances

Standing at a crossroad
We sing together
The days that have already piled up will always remain unchanged
You feel like you’re torn to pieces now, but sew up your wounds
I can still remember how it was back in those days*

That normal, everyday smile
How many times have you been fooled by someone going about their day like everything is alright?
Even if it’s just a few nonchalant words…
Right now, you’re filled with regrets**

“I’m glad I met you” “Thank you”
These feelings
I’ll make sure they reach you
You’re living by holding back your tears and smiling
Feeling like you’re going to crumble, everyday you’re nervous
You’ll repeat this over and over, until you’re completely exhausted
Probably
Always

No matter how bitter and dark the past is,
Even if tomorrows where you’re even more troubled than the previous day keep increasing,
Worrying and crying, today as well,
Continue the way you are
To the place where your heart dances

Until we each reach our destination,***
We’re sure to see lots of different sights
“I’m longing to see you”****
“I’m glad I met you” “Thank you”
These feelings
I’ll make sure they reach you

Feeling like you’re going to crumble, everyday you’re nervous
You’ll repeat this cycle over and over, until you’re completely exhausted
Probably
Always

No matter how bitter and dark the past is,
Even if tomorrows where you’re even more troubled than the previous day keep increasing,
Worrying and crying, today as well,
Continue the way you are
Your heart is dancing,
And after that comes happiness…

To endure life, sometimes you need to make smiles bloom in the shadows that form when you’re broken, crying and lost
If you’re living…
As long as you still have your life…

Go forward, forward, forward,
Up, up, up
This is no joke!
You still can’t give up yet

Push past everything
Leave it all behind
And picture what comes next…

Notes:
*,**,***,**** Really not sure about these lines
