Baby, I Want You
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
Tropical sexy paradise; the steak sauce scatters
Sweet, like dripping blood, baby
Pillaging the beast’s stirring eyes with your stiletto heel
The fish that that you set free was huge, baby
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
Come on let’s dance, till we cry, till we go mad, trembling in pleasure
Come on let’s dance, till we cry, till we go insane, trembling in pleasure

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
NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT. NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT.
NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT. NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT.
NO LIFE.
Chapter 2
How do you do? Lesson 2: heavy game—let’s talk about things you can’t laugh at
This is reality, and you have no allies—the front line covered with medals for battle wounds
You can’t see the many enemies you shoot down
Are you ok? Lesson 2: start !
Which one do you want?
1. The pride of a king fighting against himself
2. The pride of a soldier who abandons nothing
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
NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT. NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT.
NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT. NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT.

NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT. NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT.

Chapter 3
How are you? Lesson 3: yourself
Which one did you choose?
1. The type who follows the top in order to survive
2. The type who waits for a lucky shot
NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT. NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT.
NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT. NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT.
NO LIFE. NO PRIDE. BREAK OUT.
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.

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

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.”

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.

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi
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)
That girl says, “I love you” (no, really, she wants to vomit)
I sing, and you prance (yes, there are narcissists everywhere)

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)
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)

陽炎の中を 女神が舞い降り
もう孤独じゃないと 願いを叶えて
吹き出す激情に狂っては 何度も慰め
罪を犯し罰待ち侘びて 汚れていくだけ
背徳に悶え 予感に震える
僕に笑いかけて 願いを叶えて
叫び声俺は破裂した 狂おしく愛しい
恐怖に歪む横顔さえ 美しく愛しい
滅茶苦茶になれよ 俺の前に
抱き締めてくれよ 何も見えない
静かな夜だね 奇麗な夜さ
僕に笑いかけて 願いは叶わない
叫び声俺は破裂した 狂おしく愛しい
恐怖に歪む横顔さえ 美しく愛しい
滅茶苦茶になれよ 俺の前に
抱き締めてくれよ 何も見えない
優しいんだな 君だけは

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

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
(erotic more ero…)
Your shining eyes are sapphire, your shadow becomes grotesque
(grotesque more gro…)
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…

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

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.
