このまま 俺は夜になる 何も無い 夜と言う名前さ
このまま 俺は深くなる 果てしない 夜と愛し合うさ
お前の肌に触れるのさ 永遠が指を掠める
それでもいい 夜ならいい
俺にはそう、お似合いだろう
さあ真っ赤に染まるんだ
このまま 俺は雨になる 音も無い 雨と言う名前さ
このまま 俺は降り続く 終わらない 雨と愛し合うさ
お前の肌を濡らすのさ 永遠が零れ落ちてゆく
それでもいい 雨ならいい
お前にきっと 似合うだろう
さあ真っ赤に染まるんだ
お前の肌に触れるのさ 永遠が指を掠める
狂おしいほど濡らすのさ 永遠が零れ落ちてゆく

Makka na Yoru
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
Just like this, I transform into the night
My name is night, it has nothing, nothing at all
Just like this, I’m gonna go in so deep
Make love with night, make love with the boundless night
I make love with night, tonight I’m touching you
Grasp at forever as it brushes past my hands
And that’s all right, it’s gotta be night
Just look at me, night looks nice on me
Ah, dye this night deep red
Just like this, I transform into the rain
My name is rain, and it makes no sound, no sound at all
Just like this, I’ll just keep pouring down on you
Make love with rain, make love with endless rain
I make love with rain, the rain wet on your skin
And look, forever floods and spills and overflows
And that’s just fine, it’s just gotta rain
You know it’s true, rain looks great on you
Ah, dye this night deep red
I make love with night, tonight I’m touching you
Grasp at forever as it brushes past my hands
Let’s get so wet, so wet that we just go insane
And look, forever floods and spills and overflows
And that’s just fine, it’s just gotta rain
You know it’s true, rain looks great on you
Ah, dye this night deep red
Dye this night deep red
Dye this night deep red
Dye this night deep red
Dye this night red

Les Enfants Terribles (The Terrible Children)
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Sakurai Atsushi
Highest floor, so impulsive, No No Boy just barely can’t come1
Shooting up, so provocative, Go Go Girl, she’s not so bad
High fidelity Tojo Babes, Caballero’s gonna do a 1802
Going nuts, les enfants terribles
Go on, just suck me down to my bones3
Oh Yeah Oh Yeah Oh Yeah Oh Yeah
Oh Oh, soaking wet, dripping water BOYS & GIRLS
Oh Oh, spellbinding romance
Oh Oh, BOYS & GIRLS, turning on the Floating World4
Oh Oh, chic & cool, budding out of season, Oh Yeah
Highest floor, so impulsive, No No Boy just barely can’t come
Shooting up, so provocative
Go on, just suck me down to my bones
Oh Yeah Oh Yeah Oh Yeah Oh Yeah
Oh Oh, soaking wet, dripping water BOYS & GIRLS
Oh Oh, spellbinding romance
Oh Oh, BOYS & GIRLS, turning on the Floating World
Oh Oh, chic & cool, budding out of season, Oh Yeah
Oh Oh, soaking wet, dripping water BOYS & GIRLS
Oh Oh, make your pounding feet heard
Oh Oh, BOYS & GIRLS, roaring through the Floating World
Oh Oh, all at once, running to the top, Oh Yeah
Oh Oh, soaking wet, dripping water BOYS & GIRLS
Oh Oh, make your pounding feet heard
Oh Oh, BOYS & GIRLS, roaring through the Floating World
Oh Oh, all at once, running to the top, Oh Yeah
You can sing English lyrics with the original melody, if you want to.
1) “No No Boy” is a direct reference to a song of the same name that BUCK-TICK released in their long-ago indie days. It appeared as a bonus track on the original CD edition of the album Hurry Up Mode.
2) “Tojo” was a rude slang word for a Japanese person used during World War II. The term came from the name of the Japanese prime minister, Tojo Hideki.
3) The word here, “shaburu,” literally means “to suck” or “to gnaw,” as predatory animal would suck or gnaw on the bones of its prey. However, “shaburu” is also a slang term for masturbation.
4) “Ukiyo,” or “Floating World,” is a term that came into use during the Edo period in Japanese history. It was a takeoff on the Buddhist concept of “ukiyo,” or “sorrowful world” (written with different kanji.) The Floating World was the world of the pleasure quarters and the seedy nightlife of the geisha, kabuki actors, sumo wrestlers, prostitutes, and middle-class city dwellers. The Floating World was immortalized in the woodblock print images known as ukiyo-e, which depicted both mundane and racy scenes from daily life in the Edo period inner city. The two most famous ukiyo-e artists are Hiroshige and Utamaro. Utamaro in particular was famous for the eroticism and sexuality of his artwork, and is credited with starting the tradition of tentacle-related pornography with his print “The Dream of the Fisherman’s Wife.”

In your heart, the heart marks dance
Your dripping wings quiver, your life sparkles
Come on, wake up
Come on, fly away
Come on, so gentle
Come on…
I draw a peace sign over your heart
The sun shines through your wings
Life overflowing, blindingly bright
Come on, wake up
Come on, fly away
Come on, so gentle
Come on…
You can fly, you can go anywhere
Shores of heaven dancing with your wings
Baby, life is but a dream
Come on, it’s the dawn
Come on, fly
Come on, so gentle
Come on…
On those nights full of sad omens
Just run, run through the darkness
At midnight, you’re dreaming and crying
You had such a beautiful dream
At midnight, you’re dreaming and shivering
There’s nothing to be sad about
In your heart, the heart marks dance
Your dripping wings quiver, your life sparkles
Come on, wake up
Come on, fly away
Come on, so gentle
Come on…
No need to worry about sad things to come
I lied
At midnight…
At midnight, you’re dreaming and crying
You had such a beautiful dream
At midnight, you’re dreaming and shivering
There’s nothing to be sad about
At midnight, you’re dreaming and crying
You had such a beautiful dream

真夏の朝陽に黒い花が散る

Umbrella
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi
It’s raining down there, on a lonely bat1
He’s a fallen angel hanging upside down
And he met you, sweet polkadot umbrella2
Black frills, a lonely bat, a fallen angel after the rain
The movement of shadows glowing in the sunset3
Somersaulting umbrella
Ah, the whirl of light and the color of the wind
Ah, so beautiful, I want to show you
A silent lonely bat at daybreak, flying like Icarus4
The folded wings sprout out of my back
I spread them and fly straight on
Ah, so hot and sorching, I’m about to get burned
Ah, I found it, and I want to show you
Ah, the whirl of light and the color of the wind
Ah, it won’t stop, and I miss you
When I count to three, let’s go
3, 2, 1, GO!
Come on, don’t you know? It’s the sun
What you wanted was the sun
Black flowers bloom in the midsummer dawn
Ah, so hot and scorching, I’m about to get burned
Ah, I can’t go back, and I miss you
Ah, the whirl of light and the color of the wind
Ah, so beautiful, and I miss you
When I count to three, let’s go
3, 2, 1, GO!
Come on, don’t you know? It’s the sun
What you wanted was the sun
Black flowers bloom in the midsummer dawn
Come on, don’t you know? It’s the sun
We only have a moment, it’s the sun
Black flowers fall in the midsummer dawn
1) In this song, Imai uses the word “koumori” (“bat”) many times. However, there is another related word, “koumorigasa,” which means “umbrella.” (It’s made up of the kanji for “koumori” plus the kanji for “kasa,” which means “umbrella.”) “Koumorigasa” refers to the type of large, old-fashioned, black umbrella with scalloped edges like a bat’s wings. Imai stated in an interview in the March issue of CD Data that this song is literally about a bat who falls in love with an umbrella, but I have a feeling there’s more to it that he doesn’t feel like talking about.
2) The phrase “sweet umbrella” is a direct reference to “Serenade – Itoshi no Umbrella” later on the album, and Imai stated that he wrote the two songs as a love & death pair; “Umbrella” having the love concept and “Serenade” having the death concept. If that confuses you, you’re not the only one.
3) “The movement of shadows” is a direct reference to the lyrics to “Nocturne –Rain Song-” off the “Gensou no Hana” single.
4) Icarus is a character out of Greek mythology. His father, Daedalus, was a master of invention, and he was hired by King Minos of Crete to construct a labyrinth in which to imprison the king’s monster son, the Minotaur. Daedalus built the labyrinth, but then King Minos imprisoned him and his son, Icarus, so as to keep it secret. Daedalus, ingenious as ever, constructed wings of feathers and wax that he and his son could fly to freedom. Daedalus warned Icarus not to fly too close to the sun, because the heat would melt the wax and the wings would fall apart. However, Icarus did not listen. He flew high into the sky and before he knew it, his wings had melted, and he plunged into the sea, to his death, and Daedalus had no choice but to fly on without him. The original theme of the story was the folly of youth in thinking themselves invulnerable, but Imai seems to be focusing more on the idea of deliberate self-destruction in search of something wondrous.

Katte ni Shiyagare (Fuck off)
Lyircs: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
Come on! Just a little, it won’t kill you
Show it to me, isn’t it hot? Your heart, baby
I don’t need kisses or flowers. Give it to me!
You’re just teasing me? Go to hell! Get out! Get out!
Stop pouting, give me a break
Here’s a diamond, a real one—it’s just a fucking rock!
I don’t need love or romance. Give it to me!
You wanna go home? Just fuck off! Get out! Get out!
Look at me, that’s right, I’m alive!
This is my stage, so let’s dance
Touch it for me, isn’t it hot? Your heart, baby
I love you, I mean it—what a baldfaced lie
I don’t need love or romance. Give it to me.
You wanna to go home? Just fuck off! Miss you. Miss you.
Look at me, that’s right, I’m alive!
This is my stage, so let’s dance
I’m wandering lost, searching for a place to die
This is my graveyard, so let’s dance
Note: “Katte ni Shiyagare” was the Japanese title of the famous 1960 French New Wave film À bout de Souffle (“Breathless”), directed by Jean-Luc Godard. The plot of the movie focuses on a young Frenchman who commits a murder and tries to hide from the police in his American girlfriend’s apartment. However, she eventually betrays him. The movie was the inspiration for a song, also called “Katte ni Shiyagare,” performed by Sawada Kenji with lyrics by Aku Yuu. Sawada Kenji was one of the most celebrated Japanese singers of his day, just as Aku Yuu was one of the most celebrated lyricists. Aku Yuu wrote the lyrics to many of Sawada’s songs, including “Love ~Dakishimetai~” which Sakurai covered as part of his solo project, mentioning that the song had been very popular when he (Sakurai) was a boy. Given the popularity of both the film and the song, and Sakurai’s obvious interest in French culture, the title of BUCK-TICK’s “Katte ni Shiyagare” is almost certainly a reference to the other works of the same name. However, while Aku Yuu’s lyrics describe a man pretending to sleep as his lover quickly makes preparations to depart and leave him, Sakurai’s lyrics clearly describe something quite different.

Music: Imai Hisashi
Looking out, I see it’s no good
I can never return…but that’s fine
The spiral up to Heaven
I tremble in excitement…I’ll go
I murmur your name, walking out across the corpses
Call my name, like on that far, far-off day
Call my name, please one more time
Call my name, just like that far, far-off day…
You with a hibiscus in your hair
Suicide in despair in the sunset
Until the bones of my spine groan and grate
Hold me, won’t you kiss me and forgive me?
I don’t suppose we’ll ever meet again
Under this evening sun
I walk towards your clapping hands…I’m almost there
Your shadow flickering, I crawl on sluggishly… I’ll go
Just walking out across the corpses
Call my name, like on that far, far-off day
Call my name, please, one more time
Call my name, just like that far, far-off day…
Tonight so beautiful in despair
You, the sunset, and the roar of the sea
Burning passion sears my heart
Hold me, let’s dance—won’t you kiss me and say yes?
I don’t suppose we’ll ever meet again
Under this evening sun
You with a hibiscus in your hair
Suicide in despair in the sunset
Until the bones of my spine groan and grate
Hold me, won’t you kiss me and forgive me?
Never again in the evening sun…

歌おう 静かに瞼閉じて 愛の歌
いつだって夢や幻 この腕すり抜けてゆく
君を見ている 今はここで
青空 君は命限り歌う
君を見ている ずっとここで
僕には七日目の朝が来たよ
眠っている君は天使だ
目覚めた君小悪魔さ
夢見て 君は夢見ているの 夢中で
この手を離しはしない 世界が壊れようとも
君を見ている 今はここで
青空 君は命限り歌う
君を見ている ずっとここで
僕には八日目の朝が来たよ
幻だろう この世界は 幻だろう こんな世界
君を見ている 今はここで
青空 君は命限り歌う
君を見ている ずっとここで
僕には君の歌聞こえているよ
聞こえているよ 聞こえているよ
幻が燃える 幻が揺れる

Message
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko
From the darkness of oblivion
You came to me, all alone
Fluttering your tiny, insubstantial insect’s wings
Can you see it? The flames of war
Can you hear it? A song of prayer
Sing with me, gently close your eyes
A song of love
Dreams and illusions always slipping through my arms…
I’m looking at you, right here, right now
Blue sky, you’ll sing till the end of your life
I’m looking at you, always right here
My seventh morning has come
Sleeping, you’re an angel
Awake, you’re a baby devil
Dreaming, are you dreaming? In a reverie…
You won’t let go of my hand, even whe the world breaks apart
I’m looking at you, right here, right now
Blue sky, you’ll sing till the end of your life
I’m looking at you, always right here
My eighth morning has come
This world is all an illusion
A world like this is just an illusion…
I’m looking at you, right here, right now
Blue sky, you’ll sing till the end of your life
I’m looking at you, always right here
I can hear your song, even if no one else can
I can hear it
I can hear it
The illusion is burning
The illusion is wavering

Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi
Love and death, meeting and parting
Love and death, don’t forget it
Love and death, meeting and parting
Love and death, don’t forget it
DANCE DANCE HA! HA! REMEMBER TO DIE
Boys and girls! Tonight, eat and dance the night away
Life is love and death
Boys and girls, baby don’t cry, it’s all right
Oh yeah, life is love and death
Love and death, meeting and parting
Love and death, don’t forget it
DANCE DANCE HA! HA! REMEMBER TO DIE
Boys and girls! Tonight, eat and dance the night away
Life is love and death
Boys and girls, baby don’t cry, it’s all right
Oh yeah, life is love and death
DANCE DANCE HA! HA! REMEMBER TO DIE
Boys and girls! Tonight, eat and dance the night away
Life is love and death
Boys and girls, baby don’t cry, it’s all right
Oh yeah, life is love and death
Hey baby! Now is the time to eat, drink, and dance1
Life is love and death
Hey baby, baby don’t cry! Let’s love and die together2
We are love and death
DANCE DANCE HA! HA! REMEMBER TO DIE
Note: Memento mori is a Latin phrase meaning “remember your death.” The phrase is in essence a positive message, because it serves as reminder to people to take full advantage of their limited time on earth (if death comes so soon, live it up while you have the chance.) As a phrase, “Memento mori” was originally used in ancient Rome to remind victorious military leaders to be humble. Later, it was adopted by the emerging Christian church, and was used widely throughout the Middle Ages and the Renaissance, and spawned a genre of art aimed at reminding people of their mortality. The Memento mori concept appears in many different forms across the world’s cultures, but one example of a Memento mori-style tradition that is still robust today is the Mexican holiday Dio de los Muertos, or “Day of the Dead,” in which the spirits of deceased ancestors are welcomed back home to their families among much celebration and festival. The history of the Memento mori concept is a long and fascinating one, so if you are interested, I recommend doing your own research.
1) This is a reference to a line in the Bible, in Isaiah 22:13, which reads, “eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.”
2) The word here is “aishiau,” which usually means “to love one another” or “to make love.” However, Imai turned it into a pun by spelling it with the kanji “ai” (love), “shi” (death), and “au” (together), so I have translated it accordingly. It’s not an obscure worldplay but it’s a rather beautiful one.

I WANNA BE YOUR FUCKIN’ BABY FUCKIN’ BABY.

Soaring up, I’m lost in you
Diving down, love & peace in my heart

1) “Century Boy” and “Century Toy” are more or less direct references to the lyrics of BUCK-TICK’s song “21st Cherry Boy,” which was first released as a single in 2001.
2) “Jet-Coaster” is a Japanese term for roller coaster. “Jonathan” is an ambiguous reference, but there is some discussion that the named was pulled from the main character of the first story arc of the hit manga series Jojo no Kimyou na Bouken (“Jojo’s Bizarre Adventures”).

Note: “Suzumebachi,” or “Sparrow Bee,” is the common Japanese term for the Vespa mandarinia, also know as the Asian Giant Hornet. These insects are found throughout Asia but are most common in the mountainous regions of Japan. At nearly 6cm long, they are the largest hornets in the world. When they sting, their 6mm-long stingers administer a cocktail of chemicals which include a neurotoxin potent enough to kill a human being and a cell-rupturing enzyme which can melt flesh (similar to spider venmon.) In Japan, 20 to 40 people die each year from the sting of the Sparrow Bee, so all Japanese children are taught to recognize and avoid them.
1) This line literally means “night of the crowds” or “night of the masses,” but to keep it in line with the bee theme running through the song I translated it as “night of the hive.” “Million Nights” was a popular program that ran on Japanese radio from 1933 to 1999, though I’m not sure Imai was referring to it in this song, because I don’t see that it’s relevant.
2) These two lines are very obscure and could be taken to mean any number of things, and I tried to translate them with appropriate ambiguity while still hinting at what I think was the intended interpretation. “Are” and “sore” literally mean “that,” but when written in katakana they can often refer to sexual anatomy. Given the sexual overtones of the rest of the song, I assume that “koui” is a shortening of “seikoui” meaning “sexual intercourse.” Therefore, the underlying meaning of the two lines could be “sex is something we do for you/ we’re slaves to your [woman parts]” The drone bees addressing the queen bee, presumably?
3) This is a pun on “loose” as in a lack of tightness, and “loose” as in a ready willingness to engage in sexual intercourse (using those two words a lot on one page! Please me, oh yes.)
4) “Ai no su,” which I translated as “love hive,” is a pun on “hachi no su,” which means “beehive.”
5) Because bees make honey, and so do men (metaphorically.) If you hadn’t noticed, in Japanese poetry honey is a stock metaphor for another common substance involved in the production of larvae.

Million nights, the nights of the hive1
Casanova Queen Bee Hip Hip Shake
We do it just for you
We’re nothing but your slaves2
I can’t run away, no, I can’t stop
You are the ruler of my body
You lead me by the balls, Baby
Even in boad daylight
Sound of the sparrow bee buzzing in my ears
Squeeze and twist it in, the love-joint
Loose and letting go, grinding my hip-joint3

Yeah, make it sharp, more & more Baby

Lullaby — III
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
Welcome, to the drunken Dame Doré bar
The party is beginning now
Ladies, Gentlemen, lost travelers all! Let the champagne bubble over1
“Madame, more liquor please!”
“Oui, monsieur, que sera sera!”2
“‘A glass of your enchanting absinthe!”
Joker’s the one throwing dice
Look, 13 doubles in a row!3
“Pessimists, sing with me!”
“Nihilists, let’s dance!”
“‘Mephisto, haven’t we met somewhere before?’”
Stop time—let’s make a toast
“Kill me softly, how beautiful you are,” I whisper
Like a cracked Renoir4
Because it’s you, and you’re such a dreamer
Again tonight, the romance gushes
Here’s the aging assassin, Mr. J5
With his rusty crimson razor
“Madame, more liquor please!”
“Oui, monsieur, que sera sera!”
“‘A glass of your enchanting absinthe!”
Give me a good-night kiss
“Kill me softly, how beautiful you are”
Like Chagall coloring the night sky6
You lower your eyes as I bite into your neck7
And the romance gushes
“You’re so beautiful, kill me softly,” I whisper
Like a cracked Renoir
Because it’s you, and you’re such a dreamer
Again tonight, the romance gushes
Goodbye, from the drunken Dame Doré bar
The party is over
1) This line has a double meaning. The surface meaning translates literally to “the champagne becomes foam” or “the champagne turns to bubbles,” but it’s also most likely a reference to the Japanese proverb “subete ga mizu no awa,” which means “everything is bubbles in the water,” e.g. that everything in the world quickly passes away.
2) This line was in French in the original lyrics and I left it as such in the translation because I felt it helped convey the mood of the song better. However, for those who don’t know, the line means “Yes, Sir, what will be will be!” The phrase “que sera sera” (“what will be will be”) was the title of a song written for 1950’s American pop singer Doris Day by Jay Livingston and Ray Evans. The song was a hit in the US and the UK and became Day’s signature song. The phrase “que sera sera” has been translated into Japanese as “naru you ni nare,” and appears in the lyrics to the second verse of BUCK-TICK’s song “La Vie en Rose,” on the Tenshi no Revolver album.
3) Doubles, as both dice coming up with the same number.
4) Renoir was one of the most famous painters of the French Impressionist movement. His most common subjects were beautiful women and amorous party scenes, and his technique was known for its softness and movement.
5) This line is a direct reference to BUCK-TICK’s song “J,” off the album TABOO, released in 1989.
6) Marc Chagall is one of the most eminent first-wave European Modernist artists. His work was famous for its vaguely surreal narratives and lyrical use of color, as well as its exploration of themes from Russian Jewish folk culture. Sakurai cites Chagall as one of his favorite visual artists.
7) This line and the line after it are direct references to the lyrics of the BUCK-TICK song “Romance,” first released as a single in 2005. There are many other indirect references to old BUCK-TICK songs in these lyrics, so if you’re curious, go and look them up.

Serenade ~Itoshi no Umbrella —Sweety (Sweet Umbrella)
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi
Oh, love is an illusion, a passing rain
But in this moment, there’s only you
Oh Baby, tonight in a corner of the galaxy
Oh yeah, we met by a miracle
You, my sweet umbrella
Even if I became an insect covered with poisonous hairs
I’d still love you in your shadow, so Baby don’t you cry
Oh Baby, just like this, in a corner of the galaxy
Oh Yeah, we met by a miracle
You, my sweet umbrella
Come closer, let me look at you till you close your eyes
Yeah Baby, let’s kiss
Oh, love is an illusion, a passing rain
But even the rainbow is jealous of how much I love you
Oh Baby, tonight in a corner of the galaxy
Oh yeah, we met—you, my sweet umbrella
Even if you were mesmerized by the darkness
I’d bite you and snap you out of it—everyone’s a dream
Hold me tight, don’t let me go until we die
Yeah Baby, let’s kiss
Don’t you cry, the rain is beautiful
Baby, you’re the sun in my sky, so come on, don’t cry
Don’t you cry, the rain is playing us a serenade
Look, come on, don’t be sad
Don’t you cry, the rain is a serenade
Baby, you’re the sun in my sky, and tears are just too sad
Don’t you cry, the rain is playing us a serenade
Look, come on, smile for me
We can meet again in a dream
Oh, love is an illusion
The moment I passed you by in the rain, it was only you
Oh Baby, tonight in a corner of the galaxy
Oh yeah, we can meet forever, whenever we want, in a dream
We can meet again in a dream
We can meet again in a dream
We can meet again in a dream
We can meet again in a dream
Note: This song is the sister song of “Umbrella,” which appears ealier on the album. Imai stated that he wrote the “Umbrella” and “Serenade” as a love & death pair; “Umbrella” having the love concept and “Serenade” having the death concept. If that confuses you, you’re not the only one.
The original lyrics to the album version and the single version of “Serenade” are the same in reality, but I wrote a slightly different translation for the album version, because the album gives the song a context it didn’t have as a single, and puts a new spin on the possible meaning of some of the cryptic phrases. I believe either of the interpretations I wrote are possible.

Oh, love is an illusion, a passing rain
But in this moment, there’s only you
Oh Baby, tonight in a corner of the galaxy
Oh yeah, we met by a miracle
You, my sweet umbrella
Even if I became an insect covered with poisonous hairs
I’d still love you in your shadow, so Baby don’t you cry
Oh Baby, just like this, in a corner of the galaxy
Oh Yeah, we met by a miracle
You, my sweet umbrella
Come closer, let me look at you till you close your eyes
Yeah Baby, let’s kiss
Oh, love is an illusion, a passing rain
But even the rainbow is jealous of how much I love you
Oh Baby, tonight in a corner of the galaxy
Oh yeah, we met—you, my sweet umbrella
Even if you were mesmerized by the darkness
I’d bite you and snap you out of it—everyone’s a dream
Hold me tight, don’t let me go until we die

Tenshi wa Dare da (Who is the Angel?)
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Sakurai Atsushi
Revolver of misery
Who is the angel who stole John away? The revolver
There’s no point if there’s no salvation
Right, God?
Whispering revolver, you’re the darkness
The loneliness of the angel, the revolver
In the fields of rye, Jesus can’t stop coming1
I LOVE YOU, around the world
The rosary without prejudice
Bury the flock of fallen angels in wounds
—I’m the night, I’m a shooting star—
Revolver of ecstasy, you’re the darkness
The sun was too bright
Do you want a motive? Jesus has no reason
Hey, this is an illusion
All night long this life we’ll devour
Take a look, there’s the life we devour
The world blinks, here comes the applause
It’s the last show
Angels crawling in the dark
Long to bathe and melt in the sun of love
You—sometimes you make me crazy
I, I love love2
—I’m the night, I’m a shooting star—
Hey, this is forever
Hey, this is forever
Hey, this is forever, all night long this life we’ll devour
This is forever, all night long this life we’ll devour
This is an illusion
All night long this life we’ll devour
Take a look, there’s the life we devour
The world blinks, here comes the applause
It’s the last show
I’ll give it to you in sin and penance
I’m the night, I’m a shooting star
Angels crawling in the dark
Long to bathe and melt in the sun of love
You—sometimes you make me crazy
I, I love love
Angels crawling in the dark
Want to bathe and melt in the sun of love
You—sometimes you make me crazy
I, I love love
The fallen angel, the inhuman Lucifer
He ate the apple and fell under the spell
Sometimes you go a little crazy
I, I love love
The fallen angel, the inhuman Lucifer
He ate the apple and fell under the spell
Sometimes you go a little crazy
I, I love love
I, I love love
I, I love love
I, I love love
I, I love love
1) There is very definitely sexual meaning intended here. The “fields of rye” may be a reference to “Comin Thro’ the Rye,” a famous Scottish poem by Robert Burns, about Jenny, a girl whose clothes are always wet because has been secretly trysting with her lover in the rye fields.
2) In this line, Imai wrote the word “love” twice in Japanese, then twice in English. However, since the Japanese word for love is “ai,” it forms a bilingual pun on “ai love” and “I love.” I thought writing “love, love, love, love” was a little boring, so I chose instead to preserve the pun in my translation.

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
La la la…
Your eyes are the crazy, lovely, blue blue sky
We’re born and we scream, we laugh, we love
We fall in love…let’s fall in love
We kiss each other through the bars
Angels embracing over national borders
Our soaring wings cast a single shadow
You’re flying, spreading colors through the sky
You’re flying, soaring holding all of heaven
In this wonderful world being born
The cherry blossoms bloom and are blown in the wind
In this beautiful world growing dark
A red carnation blooms in my heart
La la la… La la la…
Your eyes are crazy, lovely, in the sky
We fight and sing songs, we dance, we love
We fall in love…let’s fall in love
Sleepless night full of gunshots is over now
Your eyelashes flutter gently, wet in the rain
You’ve become a butterfly
You’re flying, dancing with the wind
You’re flying—soar holding all of heaven
In this wonderful world going mad
The cherry blossoms bloom and are blown in the wind
In this beautiful world going rotten
A white carnation sticks in my heart
In this wonderful world being born
The cherry blossoms bloom and are blown in the wind
In this beautiful world growing dark
A red carnation blooms in my heart
La la la…a red carnation is blooming in my heart
Note: When asked in the January 2009 issue of Fool’s Mate if the carnation image in the song was a wordplay on “reincarnation,” Sakurai replied that it wasn’t. He then explained that traditionally on Mothers’ Day in Japan, children whose mothers are living hold red carnations as symbols of appreciation (red traditionally symbolizes women in Japan), while children whose mothers have died hold white carnations instead (white is associated with death in Shinto.) One suspects the line “a white carnation sticks in my heart” is also a reference to Sakurai’s feelings about his own mother’s death. I’d also like to note that “sasu” verb here which I translated as “sticks,” can also mean “to pierce” or “to stab.” However with the kanji Sakurai used here, it means “to insert,” so I think he’s talking about the white carnation sticking in his heart like one might stick it into a buttonhole. It’s a slightly less violent image with a similar overall effect.
Sakurai and Imai both have mentioned in multiple places that their goal for this song was to make something timeless that could be appreciated by anyone, and they cited John Lennon’s “Imagine” as a particular influence. Imai said he was attracted to writing something pure and simple because he’s done so much musical experimentation already that he feels the need to return to searching for the soul of the pop song. Sakurai said he was also trying to express pure and simple feelings and not to immediately shoot down his own first impulses so much when writing. However, he said he wanted to put his own unique spin on the peace and love theme (I think that unique spin is quite visible.)
