Your kiss seems about to wound me, a pain begins in my chest, and more

Lyrics: Imai Hisashi

The metropolis enveloping my trembling body
AH AH, Pulls my hidden heart, frozen in time, out into the night
Standing on tiptoe, the sadness overflowing your eyes is a lie
AH AH, it crushes the tactics of my pounding heart to pieces

OH DEAR HYPER LOVE
PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT YOUR INSIDE
You sank the claws of your flowery words into my neck just a little

I put my lips to a broken glass without noticing
AH AH, dreaming on the far side of a mysterious expression
I’ll cover my eyes and draw a face with the piercing light
AH AH, it’s too much to be upright, I can’t remember

OH DEAR HYPER LOVE
PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT YOUR INSIDE
You sank the claws of your flowery words into my neck just a little

BEHIND OF HER SMILE, in my hands
BEHIND OF HER WORDS, in her hands
BEHIND OF HER SMILE, this whole night
BEHIND OF HER WORDS, in her hands

OH DEAR HYPER LOVE
PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT YOUR INSIDE
You sank the claws of your flowery words into my neck just a little

ROMANESQUE
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi

When I give up on formalities
I always say “Last playing please give me”
Just now, I’m searching for different words than usual
Like a broken glass
Always with the excuse of “Last playing please give me”
Just by sliding your fingers over me, it should be very unclear

Just one minute Just one minute
Oh non stop with me Romanesque
Just one minute Just one minute
I can’t see ahead

Our tangled legs in a one-night dance
Last playing please give me, deceive me
Give me one step—truly, tonight ends in rarity
I remember transience in that face I’m tired of looking at
Last playing please give me, be deceived
My heart begins to rebel, and now at the phone receiver I make a futile effort

Just one minute Just one minute
Oh non stop with me Romanesque
Just one minute Just one minute
I can’t see ahead

Just one minute Just one minute
Oh non stop with me Romanesque
Just one minute Just one minute
I can’t see ahead

Romanesque will never be, it rubs my heart’s nerves the wrong way
Romanesque will never be, it rubs my heart’s nerves the wrong way

Just one minute Just one minute
Oh non stop with me Romanesque
Just one minute Just one minute
I can’t see ahead

Just one minute Just one minute
Oh non stop with me Romanesque
Just one minute Just one minute
I can’t see ahead

Romanesque will never be, it rubs my heart’s nerves the wrong way
Romanesque will never be, it rubs my heart’s nerves the wrong way

Romanesque will never be, it rubs my heart’s nerves the wrong way
Romanesque will never be, it rubs my heart’s nerves the wrong way

・・・ IN HEAVEN ・・・
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I believe in bare white skin
I feel your heart beating beneath your seductive breasts
Memory deepens my wounds
With your supple, slender fingers, you’re someone I can’t manage to forget

I want! I love you in heaven
Losing sight of everyone

Tell me now, is this a mistake?
An eternal sleep with the Gods
Suicide, everything disappears
I wish I could betray you brilliantly like that

I want! I love you in heaven
Losing sight of everyone
I want! I kiss you in heaven
Fluttering and rising up
I can’t do. I can’t do. I can’t do.
Tear my heart
I can’t stay. I can’t stay. I can’t stay.
To pieces
I can’t do. I can’t do. I can’t do.
Growing far away
I can’t stay. I can’t stay. I can’t stay.
Never again…

I want! I love you in heaven

DREAM & DREAM, cutting into my heart
SLOW MOTION, the dream of one night
JUST ONE MORE KISS, your profile is like momentary beauty
JUST ONE MORE KISS, I choke on the scent
My dimming consciousness is just…

NIGHT & NIGHT, people dance
ILLUMINATION, then they sleep
JUST ONE MORE KISS, when we embrace, wherever we are, we’re in a fantasy city
JUST ONE MORE KISS, those hips I dug my nails into
Gyrate in ephemeral love…

The stirrings of angels
The whispers of demons
Sweet kisses in the moonlight

The twinkling is unreachable; I murmured
I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME
I KNOW YOU LOST YOUR HEART, continue to writhe
I can’t change my heart’s pounding; I love you
I WANT YOU TO LOVE ME
GOD KNOWS I LOST MY HEART, continue to shout

Aku no Hana
Words: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

Let’s play here, let’s make this the end
Stopping life, breaking down
Lend me your hand, throw everything away
A crazy Pierrot, bad blood

You were supposed to dream, but you’re doing it badly
Ripe desire, fallin’ down
Everthing is just goodbye
A crazy Pierrot, bad blood

It’s not that I forgot my burning blood
Sweet warmth is just penetrating my eyes
Lonely days
Overflowing sun and blue loneliness in his hand, Blind-Blue-Boy

It’s not that I forgot my burning blood
Sweet warmth is just penetrating my eyes
This world turns in the cracks between my fingers
Hotly, I hold a glittering knife to my chest

Lonely days
Overflowing sun and blue loneliness in his hand, Blind-Blue-Boy
Lonely nights
Continuing to scream in the frozen night, go crazy, Blind-Blue-Boy

Overflowing sun and blue loneliness in his hand, Blue-Boy

Dreaminess　部屋を染める月の光
Stillness　静寂に沈んでく　my heart

My lover　暗闇に消えていく震えてる身体で　Cry out

I cry out under the moonlight

Darkness　夢せつなく心を包み
Sadness 束の間の思い光の中へ

My lover　横顔がかすんでく　ひび割れた心で　cry out

I cry out under the moonlight

Woo good bye my love
Woo good bye your love

時を止めてその微笑　瞳の中消えていく　moonlight

My lover　唇がにじんでく　溶けだした瞳で　cry out

My lover　とめどなく落ちていく　濡れている瞳で　cry out

I cry out under the moonlight

Woo good bye my love
Woo good bye your love

時を止めてその微笑　瞳の中消えていく……

Woo good bye my love
Woo good bye your love
誰もいない星のかなた　手を広げて消えてゆく　moonlight

Under The Moon Light
Lyrics: Higuchi Yutaka
Music: Imai Hisashi

Dreaminess, the moonlight dyes the room
Stillness, my heart sinks into silence

My lover disappears into darkness, and I cry out as my body trembles

I cry out under the moonlight

Darkness, a dream wraps poignantly around my heart
Sadness, to the light of a fleeting thought

My lover’s face grows hazy, and I cry out with a cracked heart

I cry out under the moonlight

Woo good bye my love
Woo good bye your love

Your smile stops time, the moonlight disappearing into your eyes

My lover’s lips blur, and I cry out with melting eyes*

My lover falls forever, and I cry out with weeping eyes

I cry out under the moonlight

Woo good bye my love
Woo good bye your love

Your smile stops time, disappearing into your eyes….

Woo good bye my love
Woo good bye your love
Off to the far reaches of an empty star, the moonlight spreads its hands and disappears**

*I think think Yuta’s saying poetically that he’s breaking down and crying.
**It says “star” in the lyrics, but it may be a metaphorical word for “planet.”

Love me—tears, too—crying—are the color of blood

Until you disappear, Love me

Whisper, Love me

SPEED
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I stick my index finger into my temple, and blast off
My head's always just barely biting down on the pills*
I'll dive off skyscrapers without hesitation

Tonight again, you could just barely see through my head, to my bones
No more peace and quiet, I'm off to this evening's accomplices

Girls, boys, once and for all, pain and tears
Grow easy in your numbed body
Be a butterfly, be a flower, something's waiting for you**
Say goodbye to everything you love

—I was the only one who got off on it, you're a little bit of a prude—**

Increasing my speed, I'll dive off the skyscrapers
Raising the volume, I'm off to this evening's accomplices

Girls, boys, freedom suits you
This is our last chance, let's blow ourselves up****
Be a butterfly, be a flower, it's gorgeous—you're the cosmos
Hold everything you love close to your heart
You're the cosmos

When I awaken today, I'm once again in the cold glass case of the moonlit night
Tonight again, you could just barely see through my head, to my bones

Note: I know some people are really bothered by the lyrics to this song for its suicidal references. I don't know why, but I actually have a theory that this song is about being high on speed...I think the jumping off skyscrapers is more an evocation of the state of mind of being high, so maybe you don't have to worry after all. But if the thought of Sakurai having tried speed bothers you, worry away (though I'd wait for the song "Heroin," personally.)
*The Japanese music industry sure does love to censor references to drugs in songs. The word "pill" was censored out in the original lyric booklet, as well as on all the recordings, but, as ever, the live performances gave it away. But I dunno what they were on about, seems like Sakurai had a headache, so isn't he entitled to some aspirin?
**This line is a reference to a song called "Dou ni mo Tomaranai," ("It Just Won't Stop") with lyrics by Aku Yuu and music by Tokura Shin'ichi, originally performed by the Japanese singer Yamamoto Linda. In the song, Linda sings "Ah, chou ni nare, ah hana ni nare" ("Ah, be a butterfly, ah, be a flower"). Interestingly, this song was also referred to in Dir en grey's song "audrey." Also, Aku Yuu, who wrote the lyrics to this song, also wrote the lyrics to "LOVE -Dakishimetai-," which Sakurai covered for his solo project (for a translation see the Sakurai section.)
***This line is written entirely in katakana in the original lyrics, so I put it in italics in English to preserve the original look a bit.
****The word here, "jibaku," means "suicide bomb." However, once again, I think this is much more figurative than it is literal. Sakurai is so high he'd like to just explode. Also, during recent live shows, he's often changed the words and sung "let's make love," instead of "let's blow ourselves up." He might have been trying to express a sort of peace-and-love sentiment, instead of calling to mind images of the current situation in the Middle East, but his change in the lyrics also made me think of how many times he's used explosion imagery when referring to sex, and also how many times he's written lyrics incorporating the thought "let's make love now because we're going to die soon." No, I'm not looking for sexual imagery where there isn't any, I'm just trying to reassure people that there is no reason to be excessively worried over the meaning of this lyric.

Narcissus
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko

If I could dance, I’d do it as though cursed
If I could drown, I’d do it like Narcissus

Ah…who is that beautiful red growing wet for?
Ah…what I want is a body with no heart

If I could go mad, I’d stick with the primary colors
My universe is in my locked-up room

Ah, I trace my loins with my fingers
Ah, even though I’m dissolving, it’s so easy to feel the pleasure

All alone, just like this, I’m kissing my own body reflected in the mirror
The only thing I love is myself
Naked, I dance

Ah…someone’s shadow brings me so low
Ah…only turn your back if it dries up

All alone, just like this, I confess my love to the mirror
The only thing I love is myself
Naked, I dance

Note: This whole song is a reference to a story from Greek mythology about a beautiful young man named Narcissus. There are many versions of this story, but they all run something like this: Narcissus was incredibly beautiful, and thus many people (both men and women) wanted him as a lover. However, he would have none of them and cruelly spurned them all. Finally, one of the spurned lovers cursed Narcissus, wishing that someday he would know as much pain as they did. The curse came true when one day, while out hunting, Narcissus happened to catch a glimpse of his reflection in a forest pool. He was entranced by the beauty of the person he saw in the pool, not realizing it was himself. But when he bent to kiss his reflection, the water rippled, and he finally realized the truth, at which point he was so overcome he either drowned himself in the pool, stabbed himself, or wasted away staring at his own reflection, depending on the version of the story you read. Despite his failings, he had been so beautiful in life that the Gods took pity on him and turned his dead body into a beautiful flower, which is known today as a Narcissus, after him. This story is also where the term “narcissism” comes from. Obviously, the character in this song is having an experience much like that of Narcissus.

Taiyou ni Korosareta
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

Stopping time, the curtain rises on the night stage
Unable to stand up, unable to move, without seeing me
Ah, the death makeup I wore for you falls away*
To earsplitting applause
“Isn’t it pretty? Isn’t it ugly? Try to answer me!”
Without laughing, without tears, I went insane
At twilight, in the darkness, killing my breath
Ah, I’m alone and abandoned in a shadow play
Wandering, my dreams and my fingers rotted away
“Isn’t it an illusion? Isn’t it pathetic? Tell me!”
“Is it a lie? Is it the truth? It doesn’t matter at all”
I was killed
by the sun…
Before I could say
goodbye…

And then the curtain closes, to deep melancholy
“Aren’t I dead? Aren’t I alive? Searching for something…”
“Is it a lie? Is it the truth? It doesn’t matter at all”
I was killed
by the sun…
Before I could say
goodbye…
I was killed
by the sun…
Before I could say
goodbye…

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
Album: Kurutta Taiyou (released 1991.2.21)
single (released: 1991.6.5)

I’ve gone mad, as I hug my knees
Licking my wounds as I spill my sap*
Running away from a siren’s whirlpool
Can I continue living like this?

I’m going mad, as I dissolve my tongue
I dream of drowning at the bottom of a red sea
I’m just thinking of gentleness
Like that, falling into sleep

Embracing the asphalt, I’m having feverish nightmare
Please, break me out of it

I’ve gone mad, I can never meet you again
Everything’s gone mad, and it doesn’t matter
Running away from a siren’s whirlpool
I’m just thinking of gentleness

In a lullaby, I heard your heartbeat
Please drive me mad

Ah, only the stars are clean— I can’t get used to you
Ah, the twinkling disappears soon, there’s a shard of sun

Embracing the asphalt, I’m having feverish nightmare
Please, break me out of it

In a lullaby, I heard your heartbeat
Please drive me mad

Ah, only the stars are clean— I can’t get used to you
Ah, the twinkling disappears soon, there’s a shard of sun

Ah, only the stars are clean— I can’t get used to you
Ah, the twinkling disappears soon, there’s a shard of sun

I’ve gone mad, I can never meet you again
Everything’s gone mad, and it doesn’t matter

*I think Sakurai is referring to the “sap” of the singer’s own body, which would be blood (hence licking the wounds.)

*I assume that this line is a reference to the story of Adam and Eve, and that the “snake and strawberry” refer to the serpent and the fruit of the Tree of Knowledge. It’s likely that Imai picked a strawberry as the fruit because strawberries are symbols of puberty in Japan. This is because “ichigo,” the word for “strawberry,” can also mean “one five,” or “fifteen,” which is an age at which many people are undergoing puberty and sexual awakening, dealing with adult thoughts, and losing innocence. Since eating the fruit caused Adam and Eve to lose their innocence, the strawberry symbol here is only fitting.
**The word in this line that I translated as “glory” is “baku” in Japanese. It can have many meanings, but it’s usually spelled in kanji, and Imai spelled it in katakana here, which makes me think he intended it to have a double meaning. In katakana, BUCK-TICK is spelled “baku-chiku,” so he might be making a joke and referring to the band. Maybe he’s saying they’re hunting for glory, or maybe he’s making fun of the fans.

As I walk out onto the spiral of the moon, nothing but shooting stars dance in the sky
From there, I could just see you, tiny and far away
Gently waving at me

The red droplets flowing down my cheeks
Are at least a sign of our parting

I should have known from the beginning, about return, but…just a little
I’ll forget about the knife of reality
It cuts into my heart…I should sink down deeply

On my eyelids, afterimages appear and fade, and light shines, resembling Mother
Then tears, blood, and all of you dry up
And my memories grow distant

How much longer must I keep mourning?
Can I be gentle even once?
Goodbye, gentle smiling face
Tonight, will I sleep alone again?

The red droplets flowing down my cheeks
Are at least a sign of our parting
Tonight, in the beautiful droplets of moonlight
Even my soiled body…

How much have I hurt people?
Tonight, I wonder if I can be gentle
Goodbye, sad smiling face
Tonight, will I sleep alone again?

さあ　安らかに眠るように瞳閉じておくれよ
もう疲れたろ　演じる事　夢見ることも全て
枯れた指が落ちる　ずっと見つめてる
声にならないけど　そっと呟いた

「すぐに行くよ…」蒼い部屋で逃れる術も知らず
月が満ちる前に　そっと舞い降りて
波がさらってゆく　ずっと「永遠さ」

ちぎれた体に救いはない
クスリは悲しいだけ

もう一度　ここで眠るなら
今度は上手に歌うから
キラメク星が消えたなら
最後は愛と泣けるから

さあ　安らかに眠るように瞳閉じておくれよ
もう疲れたろ　演じる事　夢見ることも全て

月が満ちる舞えに　そっと舞い降りて
波がさらってゆく　ずっと「永遠さ」

ごまかす痛みに涙はない
嘘つき　苦しいだけ

もう一度　ここで会えるなら
今度は上手に笑うから
キラメク海が枯れたなら
最後は愛と笑うから

Sakura
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

Ah, please close your eyes for me, as if you’re sleeping peacefully
You’re probably already tired of acting, of dreaming, of everything
Your lifeless fingers fell, and you kept looking at me
Your voice made no sound, but you gently murmured

“I’m going soon…” without knowing any way to escape this blue room
Before the moon grows full, gently fly down to me
The waves are washing away, always, “it’s forever”

There’s no help for a broken body
The only medicine is sadness

If only you could sleep here one more time
Because this time, I’ll sing beautifully
If only the glittering stars would die out
Because at the end, I'll weep with my love

Ah, please close your eyes for me, as if you’re sleeping peacefully
You’re probably already tired of acting, of dreaming, of everything

In the fluttering of the full moon, gently fly down to me
The waves are washing away, always, “it’s forever”

There are no tears for deceiving pain
Only lies, and anguish

If only we could meet here one more time
Because this time, I’ll smile beautifully
If only the glittering sea would dry up
Because at the end, I’ll smile with my love

If only we could record this album one more time, because this time, it will be darker than darkness…

鏡の前で君とまどろむ薄紅の指先
その手は不意に弱さを見せて唇をふさいだ
あの日君と約束を交わした
今は二人想い出せずに

退屈な歌に耳を傾け窓の外見つめる
僕はドレスをまとい踊って見せよう狂ってるかい教えて
いつか風にさらわれてゆくだろう
今は二人想い出せず

僕はなぜ風の様に雲の様にあの空へと浮かぶ羽がないなぜ
星の様に月の様に全て包むあの夜へと沈む羽がないああ

忘れないで愛あふれたあの日々
君の顔も思い出せずに
いつか風にかき消えされてゆくだろう
今は二人思い出せず

僕はなぜ風に様に雲の様にあの空へと浮かぶ羽がないなぜ
星の様に月の様に全て包むあの夜へと沈む羽がにああ

Dress
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko

In front of the mirror, I doze off with you, your fingertips light pink
Your hand unconsciously showed me its weakness, and you shut your lips
That day, we exchanged promises
And now, we’re together, without remembering

Your ears are bored by a tedious song, and you gaze out of the window
Shall I put on the dress and dance for you?* Am I crazy? Please tell me
Someday, maybe, we’ll be caressed by the wind
And now, we’re together, without remembering

Why can’t I float into the sky like the wind, like the clouds? Why don’t I have wings?
Like the stars, like the moon, I have no wings enfolding everything and sinking into the night, ah...

Don’t forget those days that overflowed with love
Without even remembering your face
Someday, maybe, I'll be erased by the wind
And now, we’re together, without remembering

Why can’t I float into the sky like the wind, like the clouds? Why don’t I have wings?
Like the stars, like the moon, I have no wings enfolding everything and sinking into the night, ah...

Why can’t I float into the sky like the wind, like the clouds? Why don’t I have wings?
This love and these scars are so dear
Now, they poignantly begin to ache, ah…

*The odd thing about this line is that Sakurai uses the word “boku” to mean “I.” This pronoun is usually only used by men, or by women trying to make a statement. Is Sakurai is implying cross-dressing or, a feminist girlfriend?

Rokugatsu no Okinawa (Okinawa in June)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

You drunkenly pierced a thorn into my eyelid with your lips
Can you feel it? Can you feel this end? Ah, it would be better if we could just dream until we died

I’ll send you a letter, even though it will never be delivered
If you have the time, send me an answer, even though I probably won’t be able to read it

Make me hear your voice, just like the rain in June
Can you hear my voice? Am I hurting you?

In the deep, deep night, I feel like I could catch this happiness
Tonight, let’s run away from the city, and make love in the sky

My veins grow hot, just like the sand in June
I’m being loved by an illusion, I’m being beaten

In the deep, deep night, I feel like I could catch this happiness
Tonight, let’s run away from the city, and make love in the sky

Under the hot, hot sun, I feel like I could catch this despair
Tangling our long hair, let’s make love in the ocean

Tonight, I’ll extend my love like a lament to this world
Tonight, I’m just dancing like I want to escape this world, ah

Kirameki no naka de… (Into the glittering…)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

The keloid man sings, fluttering the dress in the wind*
You smile and say, “that’s so pretty”
In the shadow of the man singing of love, everyone’s dead drunk
I smile and say, “that’s so much fun”
Let’s dance, holding hands…close your eyes, ah…

Your voice is so fragile, and your eyes glitter**
You smile and say, “that’s so pretty”
In the middle of the downpour of light, I’m about to disappear even now
I smile and say, “that’s so much fun”
Here is a beautiful poem for the men who are dreaming
Here is a dream in love for the women in love

Naked in the middle of the stage, who am I?
With a smile, everyone else disappeared somewhere…

Just a little bit more…just a little bit more, meld into the glittering
Anyone and everyone melds into the glittering
The inescabable glittering is coming for us
For you, for me—we can definitely make it easier, can’t we?
It’s a love song, woo

A screaming voice tore into my ears
Something is happening now, ah…
Let’s dance, holding hands…close your eyes, ah…

Terrified in the middle of the bed, who am I?
Naked without my makeup, who am I?

Keloid me is singing, fluttering the dress in the wind
You smile and say, “that’s so pretty”
In my shadow as I sing of love, everyone’s dead drunk
I smile and say, “that’s so much fun”
I…

*Fans of Dir en grey may already know this, thanks to the title of the song “Gyakujou Tannou Keloid Milk,” but keloid refers to scar tissue that has healed over an old wound, and often appears white and shiny.
**The word used here for “to glitter” has a slightly ominous connotation, as in, something which glitters too much, in a sinister way.

何処まで　まだ飛べるだろう　疲れ果てたこの体
死ぬまではばたいていく

ここでお別れしようよ　悲しい事は何もないはず・・・
軽く最後のKissして
楽しい夢は終わる　まぶたを閉じて　永遠を感じて
肌に死というぬくもり

あー　ここは何処　僕だれなの？　僕は突き抜ける

Die
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I spread out both my hands
If I pray that I want to forgive everything
You will fly down from the sky
That thing called the truth—
There was none of it in me
I don’t even know what the meaning is of living

(Nothing)
Ah, the stars look like they’re swimming in the sea
Ah, like they’re happily inviting me; the night is gentle

Crossing even those clouds
To the shining light, in this night
I can still fly anywhere, my body exhausted
Flapping my wings until I die

Let’s part here
There isn’t supposed to be any sadness…
Lightly, give me a last kiss
The sweet dream ends
Closing my eyes, I feel eternity
The warmth called death in my skin

(This isn’t a dream)
Ah, upon waking, far away and deep
Ah, where is this; who am I? I’ve broken through

My body is about to break apart
My voice, my love
A blue planet disappearing far away
I look down to gaze at it
Goodbye to everything…

I can never return again
To that ocean where I was born
A blue planet disappearing far away
I look down to gaze at it
Goodbye to everything…

Darker Than Darkness
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

In the violently gushing red
I madly screamed until I was born, in the darkness

My beautiful face warping into ugliness
I sing a song of cruelty for sale, a song of love

In a transparent lake of mingling bodily fluids, the two of me steal from each other

Ah, when I was only three years old, my eyes were black and red
Yes, just like an angel
I starved for love, lusting deeply for you

In this castle built of glass
It’s not okay for anyone to do it like this

Ah, the desert I struggled towards beneath the sun
Yes, it is the last sacred ground
So here, let me melt inside you

My dream falls into darkness halfway through
I’m a lost child, waiting for the moment when I will someday wake up

Ah, show me your smile, even just once
Yes, that was eternal
The smile of the steaming ocean quickly disappeared

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi

Why am I living?
Yes, I want to go mad, I want proof of my existence
My nerves just keep failing me, my heartbeat is always out of control
Lost in the deep forest, I call out your name
I can't escape and I don't know how to stand still
Please listen to my voice--I'm sorry, I love you

Hold me and comfort me, sweetly like this
It's no good, I'm drowning, deep inside your gentleness
Everyone's should to want to cry, I know everyone wants to be cared for
In the groans of hot flesh, I give you my love
I can exist, I don't know how to disappear
I'm reaching out my hand--I'm sorry, I love you

Ah, this limitless life, beautifully in this world
Ah, this life is burning, ah, passionately in this world

Why am I made to live?
Yes, I want to shout out, I want proof of my existence
My nerves just keep failing me, my heartbeat is always out of control
My love gushes out into the cleft of your hot skin
I can disappear; I don't know the meaning of living
I'm reaching out my hand
I can't escape and I don't know how to stand still
Please listen to my voice—I'm sorry, I love you

Ah, this limitless life, beautifully in this world

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi

My fangs have forgotten how to eat flesh, and now I’m starving
My stomach is completely empty

In this forest of concrete, my claws are worn down, but I want to meet you
Where should I go?

At the sound of someone howling, the recollection of your face in my mind
Disappeared

The men with the evil, dully glittering eyes are aiming at me
And they’re laughing

Their rifles spit fire, and my flying body is dirtied with red
I fall

I want to feel your weight. At the last moment, I howled to the moon
Closing my eyes, I’ll go off into your dreams

Now, I can no longer remember what I’ve forgotten
But I’m still there in your dreams

At the sound of someone howling, the recollection of your face in my mind
Disappeared

I want to feel your weight. At the last moment, I howled to the moon
Closing my eyes, I’ll go off into your dreams
Closing my eyes, I’ll go off inside of you*

*It’s true that this line could be read as a sexual double entedre meaning “I’ll come inside of you,” but this time, I don’t actually think it fits with the meaning of the song.

道化の化粧　派手な衣装で　芝居がかってるチャリティーショー
意味もなく喚きちらし　あとでひざをかかえる

悲しい詩人　酒に溺れて　神秘の影をまとう
涙をほんの少し　貰えたら幸せ

人気者はごめんだ　人気者は僕じゃない

両刃の剣　裸になれば　上も下もない水平
可愛想　可愛想だ　生きていても淋しい

道化者はつかれる　道化者は楽じゃない

わたしは生きてる

もし僕がブタになっても君は　微笑う
もし僕が虫になっても君は　微笑う

道化の化粧　派手な衣装で　芝居がかってるワンマンショー

Itoshi no Rock Star (Beloved Rock Star)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko

With clown makeup and gaudy clothes, I'm doing a charity show
Meaninglessly shouting all over the place, and afterward, hugging my knees

A sad poet drowns in drink and wears the shadow of mystery
If he gets just a few tears, he's happy

I'm sorry about the celebrity; the celebrity isn't me*

It's a double-edged sword—when I'm naked, the horizon has no top or bottom
It's pathetic, so pathetic—even though I'm alive, I'm lonely

I'm tired of being a clown; it's not easy being a clown
I'm alive

If I were to turn into a pig, you'd laugh
If I were to turn into a bug, you'd laugh

With clown makeup and gaudy clothes, I'm doing a one-man show
Kicking up a crazy fuss for no reason, I'm masturbating by myself

I'm sorry about the celebrity; it's not easy being a clown
I'm alive

If I were to turn into a pig, you'd laugh
If I were to turn into a bug, you'd laugh

If I were to turn into an ape, you'd laugh
If I were to turn into a star, you'd laugh**

If I were to turn into a pig, you'd laugh

Note: I think this song is about Sakurai's personal feelings about fame. It's interesting to see how the clown theme he explores here reappears later in Juusankai wa Gekkou.
*The word Sakurai uses here, "ninkimono," literally means "popular person," but I translated it as "celebrity" here, given the larger context of the song.
**The word here, "hoshi," is star in the celestial sense. "Star" in the rock star sense is "sutaa."

Kodou (Heartbeat)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I was always wrapped in perfect happiness
In this world of pain, I was born one day and lifted up my voice
I’ll say goodbye to the mother star that held me
I can hear the sound of my heart; surely my pulse begins to tremble; it’s awakening*
I don’t know why I’m living, but even so,
I think I want to live passionately, if I’m loved
I’m sorry, thank you

Your living heartbeat in this world is ephemeral, but it’s beautiful
The living heartbeat of everything in this world is ephemeral, but even so it shines

That day, I was wrapped in absolute peace
One day, this world of sadness was wrapped in you
The mother star watching over me now quietly goes out
I can hear the sound of my heart; surely my pulse begins to tremble; it’s awakening*
I don’t know why I was born, but even so,
I think I want to live passionately, if I’m loved
I want to live if I’m loved, I pray
I’m sorry, thank you

Your living heartbeat in this world is ephemeral, but it’s beautiful
The living heartbeat of everything in this world is ephemeral, but even so it shines

Your living heartbeat in this world—there’s nothing sad at all
A person I love can live in this world—there’s nothing sad at all

*Sakurai spelled the world “awakening” with an unusual kanji meaning “disillusionment,” or “to sober up.”

Rakuen [Inori Negai] (Paradise [A Prayer and a Wish])
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko

This is paradise, the country of love
Lovers embrace one another
Here there is springtime like that which is called eternal

This is the land of love, a paradise of flowers
Grown used to peace and continuing to multiply
What more than this do you seek?

A strange city, strange people
Shedding blood with eyes full of sadness
This place is the story of a dream

*On television, the melodramas blather on and on in bitter voices
*While pretending to gently cry, I cover my eyes

God’s children kill each other in the garden of love
I am indifferently dreaming

This is paradise, the country of love
Loving and consoling one another
Faces that look much alike laugh together

With gunshots come an incurable illness
Loving and hurting one another—
What more than that do you seek?

Gentle father and mother, scorched earth and black rain
While pretending to softly cry, I cover my eyes

God’s children love each other in the garden of love
I am indifferently dreaming
God’s children kill each other in the garden of love
Indifferently, I am here

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi

Let's go out into space, and let's hold hands—we can see the neon of the rotten world from here
Like always, we sing and go mad, dancing with abandon

Can you hear me scream from inside this box? The pure white goddess of this world beckons
I'm about to go crazy, especially tonight

While a man lives, he's always crying
Only when he dies does he laugh out loud
The truth…

When I sell my dreams, I'm in the depths of despair
I was made to dance, though I'm injured

With my compatriots, I sing and go mad, dancing with abandon
It's an exciting night; I'm about to go crazy

While a man lives, he's always crying
Only when he dies does he laugh out loud

Even if you're here, you can't see the truth
When you learn the truth, you can't stay here anymore

The truth…the truth…the truth…lies…lies…lies…

Kimi no Vanilla (Your Vanilla)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi

Your cute breasts
Your mortal life is so dear

Passionately, painfully, I want to try and seek pleasure, passionately, passionately, seeking pleasure
Coldly, gently, I want you to seek pleasure, coldly, coldly, seeking pleasure

Your lovely breasts
Your mortal life is so detestable

Passionately, painfully, I want to try and love you, passionately, passionately loving you
Coldly, painfully, I want you to love me, gently, gently loving me

Red, inflamed vanilla*
Your left breast is warm

If life is so short, I’ll convey my love with my lips
Until the flames disappear, I’ll burn for you

Water, air, and light
Love, bread, raison d’etre
Dreams, desires, pleasure
I love you

Red, convulsing vanilla
Your left breast is warm

If life is so short, let's convey love with our lips
Until the flames disappear, I’ll burn for you

If life is so short
I touch your breasts with the tip of my tongue
Until the flames disappear, be sour for me

Water, air, and light
Love, bread, raison d’etre
Dreams, desires, pleasure
I love you

*The word used here, “juketsu” can mean either “infected” or “inflamed with lust.” I think in this context you can tell which meaning Sakurai intended it to have.

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

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

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.

六日目の？に出合った白へ匕が見る夢は全て消えた世界
感じるかい僕の声感じてるそれが愛

コスモスが咲き乱れるこの世界の果てに
血にまみれた愛だけがそこにある
見えるかい子供達よ歌唄いながら
君に似てる愛だけがそこにある

コスモスが咲き乱れるこの世界の果てに
血にまみれた愛だけがそこにある
見えるかい子供達よ歌唄いながら
君に似てる愛だけはそこにある

COSMOS
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.
