あなただに 歌ってあげる 詩悪で美しく

殺されても 君を許そう だけど解ッテレデショウ
罪深き お前は逃げられない この手から
望むのは お前のそのすべて その魂
そうさ 俺はお前 愛している 心のドス黒い血さわぐ

Maria
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
I sing only for you, beautifully, with evil words
In my heart, I repeat love songs until they scratch and tear me
Deep in sin, you can't escape
You're already playfully stepping on my shadow, following on my heels
Even if I'm killed, I'll try to forgive you, but you know that, don't you?
Deep in sin, you can't escape from my hands
What I want is your everything, your soul
Yes, that's right, I love you; you excite my heart's dark blood
Yes, that's right, my Maria, I'll even take your life, before I turn to loose-fitting meat
Deep in sin, you can't escape from my hands
What I want is your everything, your soul
Yes, that's right, I love you; you excite my heart's dark blood
Yes, that's right, my Maria, I'll even take your life, before I turn to loose-fitting meat
Yes, that's right, I love you; you excite my heart's dark blood
Yes, that's right, my Maria, I'll even take your life, before I turn to bones, drop by drop

Candy
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
Spreading candy all over my little garden
You smile gently and say, “this is for you”
Ah, without anything, I’m alone in this world
I saw a person I love, in this world
You said, “my name is love you,” just like that
I don’t want anything; everything I want is before my eyes
Ah, losing my hands, feet and eyes, my heart
Touched your heart, it touched your heart
I want to live, being guided by the gods—we’ll break through, just the two of us
The black devil swallowed up love
I can’t see it with my eyes; it made everything true
Ah, without anything, in this world
Yes, one red, red flower bloomed in this world
Yes, one red, red flower bloomed in this world
I want to see the place where the gods smile, so let’s go to the other side
I want to live with you, being guided by the gods—we’ll break through, just the two of us
We’ll break through, we’ll break through, we’ll break through

Chocolate
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko
Ah give me chocolate
The outside world is dancing wildly, in front of the door of terror
I put out my hand, my hand is trembling; laughing voices are echoing
I held my own body desperately close, so I wouldn’t be blown away
A crack is running along the horizon, the sun sinks and rises
Drool for me, I deserve respect
Spill it all out; I know you want to dissolve, too
Ah give me chocolate
Ah give me chocolate
A running gazelle, a fluttering butterfly, the sound of an explosion next to my ears
Everything shows through—it shows though too much, and now there’s nothing
Could you see something?
Ah give me chocolate
Ah give me chocolate
Throwing glances out the window, she’s enchanted
Let’s disappear in a twinkling, let’s dance in ecstasy
Spill the oil for me, I deserve scorn
Spill it all out; I know you want to dissolve, too
Ah give me chocolate
Ah give me chocolate
Ah I'm in the Rest room

Tight Rope
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi

I follow your rippling figure with my fingers forever, ah, how maddening
You ripple just as if you were swimming in the sky, ah, how beautiful
In the depths of the darkness, someone is laughing; she beckoned—ah, I'm there
Tonight, I'm psychotic, everywhere, ah, it's like I'm going to fall
I can only depend on the smell of death
Back and forth, trembling, swaying, I'm crossing the rope—close your eyes
Back and forth, trembling, swaying, I'm crossing the rope—close your eyes
I follow your rippling figure with my fingers forever, ah how maddening
If you could fly, I could go anywhere, ah, it's like I'm going to fall
I can only depend on the smell of death
You're on a swing in midair, I'm crossing the rope—close your eyes
I'm swimming through space with you, we'll meet at the end of a dream—close your eyes
The swing ripples in midair, I'm crossing the rope—close your eyes
I'm swimming through space with you, can we meet at the end of a dream?—close your eyes
You're rippling, you're rippling—the blue, blue sky, the blue, blue sea
You're rippling, you're rippling—the blue, blue sky, the blue, blue sea

Idol
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
I was tied up in a white hospital room; at the end of my gaze was a rose garden
Is this hell, or a dream? Pounding in my temples, the needle stabs in
An amber-colored haze of heat forever scorches my eyelids
The night runs on, the moon grows full
The gods with human bodies and snake heads fly down
As an invitation, I clothe myself in darkness, with love overflowing on my sleeve
Just one scale peeled off and fell away, and now I'm celebrating my skin*
It's wonderful: destruction, and also birth, and the limitless sky**
It's beautiful: on the way to the inside of a grave, love that will never run out***
A haze of heat the color of emptiness scorches my eyelids****
Just one scale peeled off and fell away, and now I'm celebrating my skin
It's wonderful: destruction, and also birth, and the limitless sky **
It's beautiful: on the way to the inside of a grave, love that will never run out ***
Without being afraid, you can become a god—the sky is unending
It's beautiful: everything can shine, and the love will never run out
*Here, "scale" refers to a scale like that of a fish. I'm not entirely sure what this line means, but it seems to connote a feeling of scales falling off to reveal human skin.
**In these lines, Sakurai sings "sora" ("sky"), but the kanji he writes are "uchuu" ("space").
***In these lines, Sakurai sings "haka" ("grave"), but interestingly, the kanji he wrote is "haha," which means "mother."
****Here, Sakurai wrote "kouhakuiro," ("amber-colored") just like in the first verse, but he sings "kuuhakuiro," which most literally means "the color of emptiness."

It's best to remember in advance the things that have exceptions
I have to go meet that girl
Living on the net. Living on the net.
Fuck your way. Fuck not my way.
Boredom and risk and imagination, the real and freedom and pressure
The data on common sense and contradictions is spread on the wings of a poisonous moth
It's best to remember in advance the things that have exceptions

The wind is blowing—donning necklaces, let's dance
The wind is blowing—in the makeup of delight, let's dance

*A Klein Bottle is a four-dimensional hollow figure that has only one side, that is, it has no distinction between its inside and its outside. It's like the Möbius band taken to the next level. For those of you who don't know, a Möbius band is a three dimensional figure with only one side and one edge. A Möbius band can be constructed very easily out of a strip of paper and some tape, but a Klein bottle exists as a mathematical concept only.

Even though I awoke, I was still dreaming
Something got smashed and my ears were blown off
I’m about to shout, already I don’t know what I am
Ah, a woman in a memory smiles
“Come over here…” sadness—who are you?
Now I’ve lost my words
This world is drunk on love and hypocrisy
I’m about to go mad, already I don’t know who I am
Ah, a man inside my head murmurs
“Come over here…” hatred—who am I?
What is there, from over there? Is it deep darkness?
What can you see from over there? You see love and joy
Ah, a woman in a memory smiles
“Come over here…” pain—who are you?
What is there, from over there? Is it deep darkness?
What can you see from over there? You see love and joy
There’s no help—is it deep darkness?
I’m just living in love and joy

What is there, from over there? Is it deep darkness?
What can you see from over there? You see love and joy
There’s no help—is it deep darkness?
I’m just living in love and joy

Anata no uri wa over the moon
Makeup ni fashion naminori
Snoppu tomo ni baramakou doku ni mo naranai sono ability
Are no toki wa itsumo feminist gidori de
Buyobuyo no umi oyogidasu midoriiro ni hikaru chameleon
Kagiana ni suberikonde sono mama beddo made no fighter
Kuchibiru no hashi ni nebatsuiteiru kankei
Atama no naka de wa marude hiwai anata
Hashagu koe! Aegu koe! Tsume wo tatete
Kawaii kuchibiru de sotto boku ni furete
Hakanai yubisaki ni zutto boku wo daite
Mandara ni toketeiku pinku iro ni kawaru chameleon
Kimi no naka suberikonde kono mama fukai uchuu e diver
Nemurasete okure yurushite kono watashi wo
Atama no naka de wa marude hiwai anata
Amai koe! Sakebigoe! Tsume wo tatete
Anata no nami shibuki nureta mama de oyogu

アナタの売りはオーバー ザ ムーン
メイクアップにファッション 波乗り
スノップ共にバラ撒こう 毒にもならないそのアビリティー
アレの時はいつも フェミニスト気取りで
ブヨブヨの海泳ぎ出す 緑色に光るカメレオン
カギ穴に滑り込んで そのままベッドまでのファイター
唇の端に ネバついてる関係
頭の中では まるで 卑猥 あなた
はしゃぐ声！あえぐ声！爪を立てて
可愛い唇で そっと僕に触れて
儚い指先で ずっと僕を抱いて
曼陀羅に溶けていく ピンク色に変わるカメレオン
君の中滑り込んで このまま深い宇宙へダイバー
眠らせておくれ 許してこの私を
頭の中では まるで 卑猥 あなた
甘い声！叫び声！爪を立てて
あなたの波しぶき 濡れたままで泳ぐ

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko
You're selling me over the moon
All made up, you're surfing on fashion
Devoid of its poison, let's leave that ability to the snobs
That time, you always had the affectation of a feminist
Starting to swim in the ocean, soft and flabby
Is a shining green chameleon
Sliding into the keyhole
A fighter even in bed
At the end of your lips, a sticky connection
Inside your head, you're totally pervy
Your excited voice! Your panting voice! Dig in your nails
Touch me gently with your sweet lips
Hold me always with your fleeting fingertips
Dissolving into the mandala
Is a chameleon turned pink
Sliding inside you
Like this, a diver heading deep into the cosmos
Forgive me and make me sleep
Inside your head, you're totally pervy
Your sweet voice! Your shouting voice! Dig in your nails
I'm swimming, wet in your sea-spray
Tired from swimming, I sleep at the bottom of your ocean
Touch me gently with your sweet lips
Hold me always with your fleeting fingertips
I'm swimming, wet in your sea-spray
Tired from swimming, I sleep at the bottom of your ocean

* “Rizumu” would be the English word “rhythm” written in katakana. Sakurai sings “rizumu” on the recording, however, the word that is written in the lyrics is “kodou” (heartbeat).

Ash-ra (Asura)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
I can do it so well it almost makes me anxious
And the darkness is cleanly opening a door
But it's fine that way, although I'm lonely
Without even knowing the meaninglessness of living
Here, have a flower, a shredded rose
Don't look at the human beings; all of them have sorrowful faces
I only loved you, and I also hated you, deeply
We meet serendipitously again and again*
In a corner of the floor, you dance, intensely and beautifully
Somehow, let's dance an empassioned dance
You in your black dress that seems to curse everything
Please, let's dance an empassioned dance
To the rhythm of love that seems to curse everything
I'm living in the forest of the Asura
Running away, running away fervently to meet you
I only loved you, and I also hated you, deeply
Up on tiptoe to the rhythm of love, you dance
We meet serendipitously again and again
In a corner of the floor, you dance, intensely and beautifully
Somehow, let's dance an empassioned dance
You in your black dress that seems to curse everything
Please, let's dance an empassioned dance
To the rhythm of love that seems to curse everything
Note: the Asura are a class of beings somewhere between humans and gods that appear in both Hindu and Buddhist mythology. In Buddhism, the Asura were beings who had become addicted to passions, particularly anger, pride, and violence. A human obsessed with violence or addicted to a passion in some other sense might be reborn as an Asura. This was considered an unhappy birth. I wonder if Sakurai wrote this song to describe the feelings of such an Asura, or perhaps, he is likening the singer's feelings of passionate love to the feelings and mental state an Asura represents.
*Here, Sakurai sings "meguriau," which means "to meet fortuitously," but he spells it with the kanji "rinne," which refer to the Buddhist cycle of death and rebirth.

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
I want you to drive me crazy
In the tiny palm of your hand is a world like eternity
What are we living for?
It’s like we’re running through darkness, losing sight even of love
Can you feel it?
It’s my voice
I can feel it
That’s love
The cosmos blooms in profusion, to the ends of this earth*
Covered in blood, there’s only love there
Can you see the children singing songs?
There’s only love there, and it looks like you
The dream of the white snake I met on the morning of the sixth day**
Was a dream of a world where everything disappeared
Can you feel it?
It’s my voice
I can feel it
That’s love
The cosmos blooms in profusion, to the ends of this earth*
Covered in blood, there’s only love there
Can you see the children singing songs?
There’s only love there, and it looks like you
*I think this line may contain a double entendre. Sakurai uses the English word “cosmos,” so he could be talking about the universe blooming figuratively, and he could also be talking about cosmos, the flower, blooming literally.
**I’m not entirely sure what this is a reference to. In Japan, white serpents are considered symbols of luck because of their association with Benzaiten, one of the seven Japanese gods of luck. The snake is also the sixth animal in the Chinese zodiac. There is also a famous Chinese legend called Madam Whitesnake, about a snake who turns into a woman and the man that falls in love with her.
