Virtual Quest - English

“We promise you the best adventure experience
Our company highly recommends  the latest—-”
Somehow or other  it’s kinda shady

“The feeling of immersion  to the highest degree!”
It seems to sell  yet  I wonder [if it’s really true]
“You don’t need a source of electricity or a code or even a remote control”, they say
What kind of structure is this?
“With the characters, the story, the place  and various other things too
In mind you switch [the game] on”
Preparation finished  “PLAY START”

Countless times  yes countless times resetting
Take this!  It’s an endless continuation
Without getting tired of it  or blinking  go[ing] on a quest
The burning babylon  get it on!

The borderline between virtual and reality
You mustn’t cross it at the last moment
Weak-willed warnings  they already
Can’t stop me anymore
Zombies, devils and alians too
Will all be hauled by my fingertips
Enough that it’ll get scary
Anything will be fulfilled  come on!
I’m the ruler

“We promised you the best adventure experience, but
Read the instructions  properly 
Annd please be aware of  the side effects
If you play to the extremes  the boundary lines will crumble
And you won’t be able to come back ever again”, they say
Oh well

Rejecting obstacles and people who are an unpleasant sight
I get  the status of the  unmatched star
Even though I’m anxious  and want to go back  no question
You too  well then  let’s leap off

The borderline between virtual and reality
If you end up crossing it it gets really dangerous
I lose control
I can neither reset nor retire
Disguising on mars  seems troubling
Morpheus  should be showing up soon
It’s an extremely strange situation
If I come back to my senses
“GAME OVER”

Hollow Hotel - English

In the twilight it rises to the surface
The silhouette which towers in the hollow
The more one tries to look for it
The less likely it is for them to finally arrive here

Guided by the lifeless lamplight
Which you keep close to your chest
If you happen to encounter it
Rest your heart  slowly

If you look down on the outside of the window
There’s an ant’s parade
In the cube sugar of happiness
There are figures of swarming and struggling people

The more you desire something
The less you can obtain it
In case you long for it  even more than that
You must leave from here

The ant’s parade will
Continue on to anywhere
Not minding anything it will loiter
In the pursuit of happiness as well as unhappiness
The parade awaits your return

Door! - English

I’m always waiting
For that door to open
Pushing  pulling  knocking
And “Open Sesame” have been in vain too
It’s hopeless

That child’s one* is pink
They’re saying it leads to wherever you like
Well then, what colour,
What shape is yours, I wonder

Isn’t something inside?
Isn’t there some kind of hint
Rolling around?

Beyond that door there is
A shangrila no one’s ever seen
“It’s said that any dream will be fulfilled”
…in midst of this delusion
The keyhole too as well as the peephole
There is no single clue to be found
And yet  I -
Incorrigibly  far too serious -
Keep knocking on that door

Isn’t someone inside?
It couldn’t be  that it’s a pitfall or
A trap or the like?

Beyond that closed door
Lies a Gandhara so to speak that everyone’s anxious to go to
“It’s said that any dream will be fulfilled”
…is being repeated over and over again
But I know really
That there’s nothing on that other side
However  I
Pretend that I don’t notice it and
Keep knocking on that door

*[T/N: It can only be assumed that everyone has their own door. The literal translation would be “That child’s that”. Also, ‘that child’ is also quite literal. Usually, it is used to relate to a girl - in any case though to someone who isn’t present at that time.]

Hangover - English

Dizzy spells at languid 13PM
Where is this?  Who am I?
I have no hope of getting ahead about that
This’s probably  the fault of the deeds in my former existence

When you look at the world cynically
It’s an array of clichéd affection
When you think as unsympathetically as possible
Your thoughts coil around and your mental seems to dissolve
Today too, when you become aware of it again it’s 25AM
As there is no single thing which changes
“Tomorrow it is, Tomorrow it really will change!”
It’s an infinite loop saying this  I’m really fed up with it

Abracadabra-rah
Can you hear it?・・・
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo-yah
Can you see it?・・・
Whether it’s a dream, an illusion or a scary tale
A whisper’s coming from out of nowhere

Arising  in that passion
There’s a merit which money can’t buy・・・
Bang bang, hang it over
If you release it, you can’t turn back ever again
Like spilled water・・・
Super duper, hang it over
Even that enshrouding irritation
By no means does it belong to anyone・・・
Everybody, hang it over
Enough that you drag it along to the next existence -
It’s the one and only life
Be intoxicated with it to the point that you cease functioning**

What time is my life’s clock now?
About how much have I got left?
It seems to end without me being able to become someone
It’s absolutely the after-effects from my previous existence

Abracadabra-rah
Are you struggling?・・・
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo-yah
Are you shouting?・・・
Is it a trick of the wind or did I mishear?
There’s a thoughtlessly muttering voice nearby

It plunges forward  to that future
The uneven road suits it well・・・
Bang bang, hang it over
The shortcut you’re looking for on the map
May be a sudden upgrade・・・
Super duper, hang it over
Being petrified  and yet opposing
That’s not for someone’s sake・・・
Everybody, hang it over
The tale which continues on from the previous existence -
An incomplete life
Be intoxicated with it to the extent that you’re shocked・・・

Abracadabra-rah
Can you hear it?
Bibbidi-bobbidi-boo-yah
Can you see it?
Whether it’s a dream, an illusion or a scary tale
That was a natural outcry of the heart

Arising  in this passion
There’s a merit which money can’t buy
Bang bang, hang it over
If you release it, you can’t turn back every again
Like spilled water
Super duper, hang it over
Even this enshrouding irritation
By no means does it belong to anyone
Everybody, hang it over
Enough that you drag it along to the next existence -
It’s the one and only life
I’ll be intoxicated with it intensely***

*[T/N: Maybe it’s just me but I keep hearing ‘made’ instead of ‘hodo’ here. It would only change the connotation of the line slightly so I translated it as it is written in the booklet.]

Intersection - English

I’m looking down on the intersecting roads and people
An insignificant traffic light’s
Flashing as if it tried to hurry something
It’s a relatively common and boring end
Even tears won’t appear
If this was a (TV-)drama it would be a scenario lower than 3rd place on the rating

Rather than “good-bye” or “thank you”
About a “Till then” or “See you” was just right
In case we even don’t tell gentle lies
At least collide* with me at last

‘I won’t forgive  I can’t forgive’
If I ended up crying like this it would be easy and yet
My pride made of glass
If I sink my claws in it’s a sad melody
Before  the traffic lights change
Before the breaks become impossible to use
We turn to the paths we are supposed to take respectively
We won’t intersect ever again, right?

What was I able to do for you?
I’m making up my mind  but even that
Is only to make an excuse for myself

What’s shaking is the heart’s flame
If touched it’ll become a wound which won’t disappear
Any word seems to turn into a lie and
I stand stock still, not saying anything

‘I can’t turn back  I can’t give it back’
It’s so painful now that I think like this
The scenery I grew familiar with
Looks awfully radiat tonight
In order to melt into the crowd of people
So that our figures get out of each other’s sight
We turn to the paths we are supposed to take respectively
There’s no looking back  ever again

However just a little,  they overlapped just a little
Just two paths intersecting
It’s only that after all

‘I won’t forgive  I can’t forgive’
If I ended up crying like this it would be easy and yet
My pride made of glass
If I sink my claws in it’s a sad melody
‘I can’t turn back  I can’t give it back’
It’s so painful now that I think like this
The scenery I grew familiar with, tonight
It looks awfully radiant
Before  the traffic lights change
So that our figures get out of each other’s sight
We turn to the paths we are supposed to take respectively
There’s no passing each other ever again either

T/N: * In the lyrics (I used) it says 接吻て, the “接吻” meaning ‘kiss, kissing’. However, Maya sings it as “uchitsukete” which explains the otherwise grammatically useless て after the noun and can describe a range of actions as in “colliding”, “bumping into sth” up to “striking sth hard” etc. Make of that what you will :*

Nothing - English

The nothing but blank night and
The ceiling on which a blue sky’s painted
Tumble into the uninteresting room
When it turns tomorrow
The sentiment which seems to hollow out your chest too
Will completely change into a memory*  therefore:


Let me be here for a little longer
Let me listen to your stories
Because we will forget even the important things
Come a little closer
Let us exchange various words
Because  someday we will be seperated
Let’s stay more by each other’s side


The worthless day after days
The impatience which remains in their midst
Is it a necessary evil?  Or is it merely unburnable rubbish?
When it turns tomorrow
The passion which seems to fill your chest too
Will completely turn into a memory  however:


Call my name with that voice
Embrace me with your voice
Although we will forget even the important things
We interlace our pinkies and
Name our next promise
Although  someday we will be seperated

[All of] that  will flow very cleanly
Time too tears too   even this very moment
And  also the nothing which will not remain there
If today turned yesterday
The sentiment which seems to hollow out your chest
Would only change into another memory completely

Let me be here for a little longer
Let me listen to your stories
Until we can recover the important something which was lost
Come a little closer
Let us exchange various words
So that they can become the password when we meet again someday

The darkness which is even faster than light
Is going to pass us today too
Without any warning  it will swallow everything deeply
All of that  will flow very cleanly
Time too, tears too  even this very moment
And  also the nothing which will not remain there

In Future, New Sensation - English

This is not a tale about the things
Which lie in wait for when the second hand of the clock advances
Neither is this about the impulse to
Get fired up while shaking in the head wind
It only echoes there
What’s only echoing there is something
Transparent to the utmost,
More vivid than anything,
Brand new like the light and
even purer than the darkness
Albeit it is supposed to be the first time
My body remembers
Such an aspect of the heart

In Future

New Sensation

Well then, let’s start
