水の中のベットに君を誘う 数え切れないクリスタル飲み込んで
君はとってもけなげに何かを探してるけど... 帰れない二人がいるだけ
扉を突き抜けたら光のシャワーの中へ...
溶けて消える二人に 眩暈を...
ねえ ぼんやり君の目見つめていられるのなら 目覚めを知らない夢の中
ねえ 確かに聞こえた天使の囁く声が さよなら おやすみ 君の中
血を流す事もなく涙も無い 深い海の闇になる 抱き合って
君は微笑み浮かべて何かを探し続けて やがては疲れ果て眠れる
瞼を焦がしたなら光のシャワーの中へ...
溶けて消える二人に 眩暈を...
ねえ ぼんやり君の目見つめていられるのなら 目覚めを知らない夢の中

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
I invite you to a bet in the water, swallow countless crystals
You are searching for something very gallantly but… we’re just here and can’t return
When it pierces the door, toward the center of the shower of light
We’ll wash away and disappear in dizziness
Say, when your eyes gaze at me aimlessly in dreams that know no waking
Say, I’m sure I can hear the voices of the angels whispering, “goodbye, goodnight” within you
Without shedding blood, without tears, we become the darkness of the deep sea embracing
You softly smile and continue to search for something; then, worn out, you can sleep
When it burns your eyelids, to the center of the shower of light
We’ll wash away and disappear in dizziness
Say, when your eyes gaze at me aimlessly in dreams that know no waking
Say, I’m sure I can hear the voices of the angels whispering, “goodbye, goodnight” within you
When it pierces the door, toward the center of the shower of light
We’ll wash away and disappear in dizziness
Say, when your eyes gaze at me aimlessly in dreams that know no waking

どうして生きているのか この俺は
そうだ狂いだしたい 生きてる証が欲しい
神経は落ちてくばかりで 鼓動はずっとあばれ出しそうだ
深い森に迷い お前の名を呼ぶ
逃げ出す事もできない 立ち止まる事も知らない
聞いてくれこの声 お前を愛しているのに
抱いて慰めてくれ そう甘く
だめだ溺れてしまう 優しい君の中
誰も泣きたいはずだろう 優しきっとされたいはずさ
熱い肉の軋み お前にこの愛
生きる事はできる 消えていくすべを知らない
この手伸ばしている お前を愛しているのに
ああ この世で美しく ああ 限りないこの命
ああ この世で激しく ああ 燃えるよこの命
どうして生かされてるのか この俺は
そうだ叫びだしたい 生きている証が欲しい
神経は落ちてくばかりで 鼓動はずっとあばれ出しそうだ
熱い皮膚の裂け目 吹き出すこの愛
消える事はできる 生きてゆく意味知らない
この手伸ばしている
逃げ出す事もできない 立ち止まる事も知らない
聞いてくれこの声 お前を愛しているのに

Music: Imai Hisashi
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
Ah, this life is burning, ah, passionately in this world

Chapter 1
How are you? Lesson 1: easy game—let’s talk about fun things
This is a battlefield, allies are few—the front lines are wounded—cut by bullets, certain death
The enemy is before your eyes
Are you ok? Lesson 1: start!
Which one will you choose?
1. A king, abandoning pride and standing up
2. A soldier who protects nothing but his pride to the end
THINKING TIME! Listen to the music
It’s best to completely cut them down and defeat them
That’s your wonderful place
It’s best to completely cut them down and defeat them
If there’s only a speck of light, it’s okay

Which one do you want?
1. The pride of a king fighting against himself
2. The pride of a soldier who abandons nothing

Note: Though I translated them both as “pride,” in fact, Imai uses different words when talking about the pride of a king and the pride of a soldier. When referring to a king, he uses “hokori,” which is the Japanese word for pride, but when he refers to a soldier, he says “puraido,” which is a Japanization of the English word “pride.” I’m not quite sure why he made this choice; perhaps, since Japanese often consider loan words to be more hip, Imai is implying that a soldier is modern while a king is old-fashioned.

Note: Though I translated them both as “pride,” in fact, Imai uses different words when talking about the pride of a king and the pride of a soldier. When referring to a king, he uses “hokori,” which is the Japanese word for pride, but when he refers to a soldier, he says “puraido,” which is a Japanization of the English word “pride.” I’m not quite sure why he made this choice; perhaps, since Japanese often consider loan words to be more hip, Imai is implying that a soldier is modern while a king is old-fashioned.

The smell of love and death is in the romantic wind

Madness. Ignorance, or a lunatic’s dream

Shine. Wetting the night that becomes holy
Rain. Bathing in the droplets, I was touched…

Your fingers, your eyes, with my tongue…erotic you

Your shining eyes are sapphire, your shadow becomes grotesque

Shine. Kisses that become holy
Rain. I think I’ll die, I’m so sick of waiting for them
Your sapphire eyes are blurring, near the moon
Your breasts pale in the moonlight…
Shine. Kisses that become holy
Rain. I think I’ll die…
Now, I’m just dreaming in your world, eternally…

Hi baby. Come over here
I want you to drop me like an angel
In your face that can’t smile, it ends quietly
It’s just like Siam; I want to melt together
I’m getting confused. You’re laughing in my face, aren’t you?
We looked at each other. That weekend we spent together…
When we woke up, you and I would both be dreams…
Hi baby. Come over here, quickly
I want you to love me like a pig
You grasp everything in your traitorous fingertips
Bending over backward, I want you to fly in the sky for me
I’m starting to crumble. You’re laughing in my face, aren’t you?
We looked at each other. That weekend we spent together…
When we woke up, you and I would both be dreams…
Hi baby. Welcome home
Someday, the future will shine with light
The world’s grown dark, it’s the season of hell
I become a bird, I fly along
I fly along, the world grows dark, I can’t even see you

Become the devil and intoxicate the lamb
Holding your wings over your head, unfold the darkness
Trans confess, I’ll suck out your desires
My empty heart is about to break open
Turning my back on the sun, I walked through the asylum garden

Trash, it’s a bad feeling, when I pull in the threads of memory
Like an insect, I crawl out of my body
Turning my back on the sun, I walked through the asylum garden

Black light and the sunflower on the canvas
Black light and the cypress on the canvas
Black light and the self portrait on the canvas

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.

嫌いだ今夜もまた眠れやしない
あなたを夢見て夢虚ろな夢
真夜中に隠したくちづけに息を止めて
暗闇に落ちる様に このまま夢を
ゆらゆら短し恋月下美人
うたかた眩暈の中命燃やす
血を流すあなたよこの胸に注いでくれ
薔薇色に染まる程に
千切れた羽を欲しがる あの人は羽ばたく
夢見るアゲハの様に 狂い咲く花園
真夜中に隠したくちづけに息を止めて
暗闇に落ちる様に このまま夢を 見させて
千切れた羽を欲しがる あの人は羽ばたく
夢見るアゲハの様に 狂い咲く花園
砕け散る嘘を欲しがる あの人は羽ばたく
夢見るアゲハのみたいに 狂い咲く花園
編み上げブーツ履く 少女が歩いている
悪くない目覚めに 空を飛んでみようか

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko
I hate it—tonight again, I’m not sleeping
The dream I’m dreaming of you is an empty one
Hidden in the depths of the night, stopping breath with a kiss
Like sinking into darkness; like this, dreaming
A faltering, too-short love, the Queen of the Night
Life burns in ephemeral dizziness
The blood you spill—please, pour it into my heart
Until it dyes me the color of roses: red, like this
The person who wants torn-apart wings flaps them
Like a dreaming swallowtail butterfly, a garden blooms out of season
Hidden in the depths of the night, stopping breath with a kiss
Like sinking into darkness; just like this, your dream—show it to me
The person who wants torn-apart wings flaps them
Like a dreaming swallowtail butterfly, a garden blooms out of season
The person who wants smashed-up lies flaps wings
Like a dreaming swallowtail butterfly, a garden blooms out of season
Putting on high-laced boots, a girl is walking
It’s not a bad thing—in waking, let’s try to fly in the sky

Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi
I don’t think, “I want to be rescued,” I don’t think “I want payback”
I am a symbol of being itself—that’s right, mostly, I’m original
There are beginnings, there are endings; we exist on the straight line
We’re born once, we die once, and life is short, so love, maiden
On a night when I can’t sleep, the dollies are multiplying*
Look behind you, it’s the same face
Does a cyborg dream a dream of Dolly? Jumping the fence, Loop the Sheep**
I don’t think, “I want to be rescued,” I don’t think “I want payback”
You are a sample of being itself—that’s right, mostly, you’re a pioneer
There are beginnings, there are endings; naturally, you exist on the straight line
We’re born once, we die once; we die once, only once
One dolly, two dollies—is this container of a body the real thing?
Three dollies, four dollies—count them, I’m a cyborg
I’m hearing it wrong—a bossa nova is starting
I don’t think, “I want to be rescued,” I don’t think “I want payback”
You are a sample of being itself—that’s right, mostly, you’re a pioneer
There are beginnings, there are endings; naturally, you exist on the straight line
Jumping the fence, Loop the Sheep; howl, PHANTOM, Loop the Sheep
On a night when I can’t sleep, the dollies are multiplying
Look behind you, it’s the same face
Does a cyborg dream a dream of Dolly? Jumping the fence, Loop the Sheep
One dolly, two dollies—is this container of a body the real thing?
Three dollies, four dollies—count them, I’m a cyborg
I’m hearing it wrong—a bossa nova is starting
I’m hearing it wrong—I hear a voice crying
*I assumed the “dollies” that Imai refers to in this song are androids (since they’re like human dolls.) Imai seems to really love cyberpunk—I wonder if the “Loop the Sheep” lyric is a reference to Philip K. Dick’s novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? I wouldn’t put it past him, since the title of BUCK-TICK’s album Mona Lisa OVERDRIVE is a direct reference to a William Gibson novel of the same name. I’ve heard other comments that this is about Dolly the sheep (the first mammal to be cloned by humans),and I suppose it could be that as well, but I think the references to Androids are at least as strong—for those of you who don’t believe me, read the book. It’s a classic and I don’t want to spoil it for you.
**This line contains an untranslatable pun. The word “cyborg,” which would normally be spelled in katakana, is here spelled in kanji, meaning “cell tool” or “cell utensil.”

An overly self-conscious man walks on the asphalt like it’s a tightrope
I’m all dirty from someone’s spit
Ah…the smell of sweet honey; so sweet it’s rotting
Spill the drool of the angels into my body
What do you want? What do you desire?
At the last moment, deeply, please touch me
He’s flying, a man who looks like Jesus, with wings marked with skulls
I wake up, I wake up to your kiss, next to your chest marked with a peace sign
That girl says, “I love you” (no, really, she wants to vomit)
I sing, and you prance (yes, there are narcissists everywhere)
That girl says, “I love you” (no, really, she wants to vomit)
I sink, and you prance (yes, we really have a death wish, don’t we)
With a feeling of self-consciousness running wild, I know myself too well
My wings are dirty with someone’s spit
What do you want? What do you desire?
At the last moment, deeply, please kiss me
He’s flying, a man who looks like Jesus, with the wings stained with blood
I wake up, I wake up to your kiss, your lips red like blood
That girl says, “I love you” (no, really, she wants to vomit)
I sing, and you prance (yes, there are masochists everywhere)
That girl says, “I love you” (no, really, she wants to vomit)
I sink, and you prance (yes, we really have a death wish, don’t we)

Kain (Cain)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
We’re drifting, both you and I
Abel, what are you so afraid of? Are you crying? Are you laughing?
That day, you went mad, didn’t you? Are you dreaming? Are you sleeping?
An obscene line, a bawdy sign—we’re drifting, you and I both, towards midnight
Abel, I’m counting sheep; like it’s reflecting, like a nightmare
A mind torn to pieces; deep red rain; we’re drifting, you and I both, towards midnight
Overflowing wine, grieving Cain; we’re just drunk, you and I both, at midnight
Tonight, a cross on your back, run though darkness at the risk of your life
Tonight, grieving Cain wanders the darkness with bloodshot eyes
An obscene line, a bawdy sign—we’re drifting, you and I both, towards midnight
Overflowing wine, grieving Cain; we’re just drunk, you and I both, at midnight
Tonight, turn your back on the cross and run though darkness, risking your life
Tonight, grieving Cain wanders the darkness with bloodshot eyes
Tonight, a cross on your back, run until you die, at the risk of your life
Tonight, with bloodshot eyes, dance until you die, grieving Cain
Tonight, a cross on your back, run until you die, at the risk of your life
Tonight, with bloodshot eyes, dance until you die, grieving Cain
Notes: The title of this song is, of course, an allusion to the Bible story of Cain and Abel, who were the two songs of Adam and Eve. Cain was a farmer, and Abel was a shepherd. When God asked them for sacrifices, Cain offered the fruits of his farm and Abel offered the meat of his sheep, but God was more pleased with Abel’s sacrifice than Cain’s. Overcome with jealousy, Cain killed Abel, thereby committing the first murder. In punishment, God cursed him to wander the world forever, and placed a mark on his forehead that would protect him from being killed by anyone.
This has no bearing on the song, but recently, Cain has come to be associated with vampire stories, because, depending on the interpretation of the original story, God cursed him to be immortal, and he was also “slayer of his brother.” No doubt Sakurai found this quite interesting.
This song also contains some poetic techniques which I unfortunately could not entirely preserve in the translation. Sakurai uses many words that sound alike, and while some of these were in English already, and thus remain unchanged in the translation (“line,” “sign,” “mind,” “rain,” “wine,” “Cain”), I had to leave others out. Sakurai uses “tadayou” (“to drift”) multiple times, but he also uses “tada you” (“we’re just drunk”), which is really a beautiful word play.

Megami (Goddess)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
In a shimmer of heat, a goddess alights
Now that I’m no longer lonely, grant my wish
I’m going mad in an outpouring of emotion, consoled many times
I commit a sin and wait anxiously for punishment; I’m just sinking into corruption
I’m in an agony of immorality, I’m trembling with a premonition
Smile at me and grant my wish
Shouting out, I exploded—it’s maddening, precious
Even your profile warping in fear is beautiful, precious
Go to excess, before my eyes
Hold me; we can’t see anything
It’s a quiet night, isn’t it? Such a clear night
Smile at me—my wish will not be granted
Shouting out, I exploded—it’s maddening, precious
Even your profile warping in fear is beautiful, precious
Go to excess, before my eyes
Hold me; we can’t see anything
You’re so gentle, only you
You’re the only one for someone like me

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
That day, I loved; a flower I started to forget bloomed
That day, I knew love—it's like a flame, isn't it?
That day, I loved; it unfastened the buttons to my heart*
I was stealing glances at your profile
Be there always, within me
Now, laugh—even though the flame burning in my heart will go out before long
That day, love died; everything disappeared
Your profile faded from view
Be there always, in my heart
Now, sleep—the flame burning in my heart will go out before long
Beautiful, my angel, FLAME
Beneath the silver sky, the lovers embrace
Smile, flutter in the sky while the two of us dance
Be there always, within me
Now, sleep—the flame burning in my heart will go out before long
Beautiful, my angel, FLAME
Beneath the silver sky, the lovers embrace
Smile, flutter in the sky while the two of us dance
A single wavering shadow, the lovers embrace
Smile, flutter in the sky while the two of us dance
Like the flowers that bloom in profusion, like the flowers that are dying
Like you who bloom in profusion, it's best that I continue to live
Like the flowers that bloom in profusion, like the flowers that are dying
Like me, who blooms in profusion, it's best that you continue to live
*I believe Sakurai is talking about love unbuttoning his "heart's buttons" as one would unbutton a shirt.

Live tough, uprooted Boys & Girls, in the night of love
Tied up hard and deep, freedom is burning
Your head is aching, too, baby
Hey, now, dance in this world— your hips are sweet
Dance holding that cute girl
Are you living cool? Uprooted Boys & Girls in the night of love
Will you please stay with me a little longer? In a little while the night will be gone, but before that
Come on let’s dance, till we cry, till we go mad, trembling in pleasure
Are you showing courage? Uprooted Boys & Girls
You’re throwing out your chests, uprooted Boys & Girls, in the night of love

Lyrics: Imai Hisashi

In this world, let’s jump high in the sky, jet-propelled by adrenaline
Truth or lies, contradictions, illusions—the whole story gets through
On this desert land, let’s dance! I have love, courage, and a cell phone
Even if I’m reborn, I’ll continue to live right here
Under the sacred name of reality, from my heart, I swear to you
Please, baby, touch me—I’m about to be torn to pieces
Please, bloom beside me; yes, flowers are good
Please bloom in the desert land; yes, flowers are good
Look how beautiful they are
It’s a tepid era, let’s take off; feel the wind and grow wings
Twinkling and shining, feathers that cut the wind—they’re black wings
There’s nothing to worry about, under the sacred name of reality
There’s nothing to be afraid of; from my heart, I swear to you
Please, baby, touch me—I’m about to be torn, ripped, broken to pieces
Please, bloom beside me; yes, flowers are good
Please bloom in the desert land; yes, a small one is fine
Look how beautiful they are
Please, bloom beside me; yes, flowers are good
Can I bloom well? Yes, flowers are good
Look how beautiful they are

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi

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?

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."

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.

PHYSICAL NEUROSE
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi
An angel born in catastrophe is OH OH OH VAMPIRE
Waking from a dream, Gregor Samsa is OH OH OH METAMORPHOSE*
Ah ah, the fixer has a HEAD ACHE, HEAD ACHE
Ah ah, my sister is HEAD VOICE, HEAD VOICE**
IT'S PHYSICAL NEUROSE OH TOO BLUE SKY
My schizophrenia under control, I say OH OH OH HOW ARE YOU
My air head therapist says OH OH OH FINE THANK YOU
Ah ah, the fixer has a HEAD ACHE, HEAD ACHE
Ah ah, naughty children are HEAD VOICE, HEAD VOICE**
IT'S PHYSICAL NEUROSE OH TOO BLUE SKY
Ah, just a little SADNESS HEART IS RUN MAD***
Ah, just a little SADNESS HEART IS RUN MAD
Ah ah, the fixer has a HEAD ACHE, HEAD ACHE
Ah ah, my sister is HEAD VOICE, HEAD VOICE
IT'S PHYSICAL NEUROSE OH TOO BLUE SKY
Ah ah, the fixer has a HEAD ACHE, HEAD ACHE
Ah ah, naughty children are HEAD VOICE, HEAD VOICE
IT'S PHYSICAL NEUROSE OH TOO BLUE SKY
Ah, just a little SADNESS HEART IS RUN MAD
Ah, just a little SADNESS HEART IS RUN MAD
Note: In the name of preserving the original lyrics, I left as much of the original English intact in the translation as I could. I only changed a little of it to better get across the meaning. But, needless to say, Imai’s grasp of the language at this point in time left something to be desired.
*For those of you who don’t know, this line is a reference to The Metamorphosis, a novel by the Czech existentialist writer Franz Kafka. In the novel, a traveling salesman by the name of Gregor Samsa awakens one morning to find himself turned into a hideous insect.
**I think what Imai meant to say here was that the singer of the song is hearing his sister’s voice in his head, because he’s crazy. Likewise in the second verse, he’s hearing the voices of naughty children.
***I think this line is supposed to mean something like “Ah, I feel a little sad that I’ve gone mad.”

完璧なし合わせ いつも包まれていた
苦しみのこの世界 ある日産まれ声をあげた
抱かれてた母星に さよならを告げよう
胸の音聞こえる 確かに鼓動震えだす目醒めだ
なぜ生きている 知らないけど それでも激しく
生きていたいと思う 愛されているなら
ごめんなさい ありがとう
この世に生きるあなたの鼓動 儚い だけど美しく
この世に生きる全ての鼓動 儚い だけど輝いて
絶対の安らぎ あの日抱かれていた
悲しみのこの世界 ある日あなたに包まれた
見守る母の星 静かに今消えて
胸の音聞こえる 確かに鼓動震えだす目醒めだ
なぜ生まれた 解らない それでも激しく
生きていたいと思う 愛されたいるなら
生きていたいと願う 愛されているなら
ごめんなさい ありがとう

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.”
