Mr.Darkness & Mrs.Moonlight
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi

You’re perfect like an angel, and more forbidden than paradise
Uh…bravo, uh…bravo
In the cosmos, all over the world, and throughout my body

Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight, it’s as hot as the fires of hell
Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight, baby, I love you so much I could die
Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight

We made a pact on the cross, pierced through with the devil’s horns*
I love you, my sweet sweet baby
Baby, I love you so much I could die pierced through with the devil’s horns
I love you, my sweet sweet baby

We sold the blues to Lucifer and dropped them at the crossroads
Oh…my god, oh…my god
In the cosmos, all over the world, and throughout my body

Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight, it’s as hot as the fires of hell
Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight, baby, I love you so much I could die
Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight

We made a pact on the cross, pierced through with the devil’s horns
I love you, my sweet sweet baby
Baby, I love you so much I could die pierced through with the devil’s horns
I love you, my sweet sweet baby

Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight, baby, I love you so much I could die
Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight, baby, I love you so much I could die
Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight, baby, I love you so much I could die
Mr. Darkness and Mrs. Moonlight, pierced through with the devil’s horns

*The word here, “tsuranuku,” which I translated as “to pierce,” really means “to go through,” however, I thought that in context, “pierce” made the most sense. The kanji can also mean “to penetrate,” so perhaps there is also some small sexual connotation here, too.

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi

Be my baby
Be bop a baby

You’re a smiling angel by my side
Together we fly to a stardust rendezvous

Please listen, just to this one word
Thank you, from my heart
For the joy of having met you

You’re a slumbering angel in my heart
We're fluttering ghosts, dreaming of a rendezvous

I'll say just one word
Thank you, from my heart
I'm so glad I met you

Thank you, I love you, one more time
At the end, I'll thank you, one more time

Please listen, just to this one word
Yes, from my heart, until the day we say goodbye

Thank you, from my heart
I’m so glad I met you

Montage
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi

The sun raining down is so bright, I just can't stand it
If it were all erased, just like a shadow
I wouldn't care

You and I, with a passion hot as hell
You and I make everyone disappear
You and I…You and I…

I bite into your veins through your transparent skin, and I won’t let go
When we tangle together, we’ll never come apart
We’ll never again come apart

We tangle together like snakes in their nest
We can't uncoil our suspicions of Oswald

Hey, I don’t think we know
Look, into the endless black
Deeper than darkness
Darker, darker than darkness

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Melt everything away
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Let’s hold each other, blend together
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah

We tangle together like snakes in their nest
We can't uncoil our suspicions of Oswald
You and I are just like a montage
You and I…when we mix, you’re not there

Hey, I don’t think we know
Look, into the endless black
Deeper than darkness
Darker, darker than darkness

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Melt everything away
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Let’s hold each other, blend together
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Melt everything away
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Let’s hold each other, love each other
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah!
The sun raining down is so bright, I just can't stand it
And I’m just like a shadow
Our montage is already gone

Let’s hold each other, blend together

Note: Some have speculated that the “Oswald” referred to in this song is Lee Harvey Oswald, who was accused of assassinating Jonh F. Kennedy in 1963. However, if this were true, it would mean that Imai wrote a dark, passionate love song about John and Jackie Kennedy. considering Imai's previous lyrical idiosyncrasies, I suppose that's not impossible, but then again, there are countless other Oswalds in history and literature, and maybe in his brain, so I would say, pick your favorite one, or use your imagination.

Lily
Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I don’t like stories without love in them
Maybe I could sprout an angel’s wings
Lily, have I found
Lily, the wings you wanted?

For an instant, in the wind, forever

I don’t like stories without love in them
The sky exists for our wings
Lily, that sky you’re looking up at
Lily, is it the color of water?

Suddenly, the world becomes just us two

Don’t turn around, we can fly
You’re our speed in the afternoon sky
Don’t turn around, we can fly
You’re so vivid in the afternoon sky
This is forever

For an instant, in the wind, forever
Suddenly, the world becomes just us two

Don’t turn around, we can fly
You’re our speed in the afternoon sky
Don’t turn around, we can fly
You’re so vivid in the afternoon sky
Don’t turn around, we can fly
You’re our speed in the afternoon sky
Don’t turn around, we can fly
You’re so vivid in the afternoon sky
This is forever

Don’t turn around, we can fly
You’re our speed in the afternoon sky
This is forever

真夜中を切り裂き　ドレス引き裂く
声を上げて　尻を上げて
吸い付くような肌に　指滑らせば
冷たくコルト　こめかみ弾く

安物コート　襟を立て

人生はバラ色　なんて素晴らしい
人生はバラ色　なんて儚いのでしょうね

ゲンズブール　雨ドゥダダ　びしょ濡れのマリー
裸足のマリー　愛しいしマリールー
路地裏　野良猫　俺は夢見た
明日が欲しいと　お前が欲しいと

ジタンの煙　空のボトル
ひび割れた声　なる様になれ

人生はバラ色　なんて素晴らしい
人生はバラ色　まるで夢見ているみたいね

人生はバラ色　なんて素晴らしい
人生はバラ色　なんて儚いのでしょうね
人生はバラ色　なんて素晴らしい
人生はバラ色　まるで夢見ているみたいね

La vie en Rose
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Hoshino Hidehiko

Tearing through midnight, tearing your dress off
Lift up your voice, lift up your ass
Sliding my fingers on your sticky skin
I snap the cold Colt against my temple*

I pull up the collar of my trashy coat
I’m seduced as if I’m the seducer

Life is rose colored, ah how wonderful**
Life is rose colored, and oh, it’s so short

Gainsbourg’s rain falls do-da-da onto my wet Marie***
Barefoot Marie, my beloved Marilou
A stray cat down a back alley, I dreamed
That I wanted tomorrow, that I wanted you

The Gitanes smoke, time cut short, the empty bottle****
My voiced cracks—just let it be

Life is rose colored, ah how wonderful
Life is rose colored, and it’s just as if we’re dreaming

Life is rose colored, ah how wonderful
Life is rose colored, and oh, it’s so short
Life is rose colored, ah how wonderful
Life is rose colored, and it’s just as if we’re dreaming

Note: “La Vie en Rose” was the title of a very famous song by the French cabaret singer, Édith Piaf. The song has been covered by a great number of other musical artists, and was also the name of the movie that was recently released about Piaf’s life. It’s a warm and passionate confession of love, with vaguely sexual undertones. Interestingly, this song was a great favorite of the theremin virtuosa Clara Rockmore, and her version of the song played on the theremin appears on “Clara Rockmore’s Lost Theremin Album.”

*Sakurai is referring here to the Colt .45 revolver. Also known as the “Single Action Army,” the Colt .45 is the classic six-shooter and the gun of the Wild West. Obviously, the reference here goes very well with the meaning of the album title. Another interesting note to make is that in the original Japanese, it's impossible to tell whether the narrator of the song is shooting himself or his partner. Since English requires that sentences have subjects, for the purpose of my translation, I had to make a choice. I chose to assume he's shooting himself, just because the song seems to be so much about self-destruction.

**This line contains some beautiful alliteration in the original Japanese, which I unfortunately could not reproduce in English. Sakurai sings “jinsei wa barairo, nante subarashii,” and emphasizes the word “bara,” which means “rose.”

***Serge Gainsbourg was a celebrated French composer. He wrote songs in all styles, but was particularly famous for his bent towards explicitly sexual lyrics. “Marilou” is a song by Gainsbourg, off his album “Cabbage-Head Man,” featuring the character Marilou. The song “Marilou” itself tells the story of a man’s love for a woman, Marilou, in slightly threatening terms. While singing of his love for her, he also threatens to beat her. The song includes a line which translates roughly to “on your guard, your life is short.” Sakurai’s lyrics for this song seem to call to the same themes. However, he said in an interview about the album (translated on this site, go read it!) that more than evoking a French theme, he was trying to express an atmosphere of general back-alley nightclub sleaziness and despair.

****This line contains a wonderful double entendre. The word “jitan,” which is spelled in katakana in the original lyrics, mean “shortening of time” in Japanese. However, “jitan” is also the katakana spelling for “Gitanes,” a French brand of dark cigarettes. “Gitanes” means “gypsy woman” and the Gitanes cigarettes package is emblazoned with the image of a gypsy woman holding a tambourine, highlighting the romantic rebel image that the cigarettes have due to their strong, bitter taste. Of course, if one smokes Gitanes, one’s life will surely be shortened, and the French-rebel image of the cigarettes helps add even more to the song’s theme of trashy, Francophile decadence. Another interesting note: Gitanes are the cigarettes of choice for Issay, vocalist of the Japanese Goth-pop band Der Zibet and a friend of Sakurai.

Special thanks to Kame for her help with French translations!

I’m gonna go crazy, I’m gonna go crazy
I’m gonna go crazy, I’m delirious in you

Hey hey you’re so damn charming
Hey hey you’re so damn cute
I love, love, love you, I love you
I love, love, love you, I love you

I’m under your spell, I’m under your spell
I’m under your spell, I’m delirious in you

Hey hey sing to me about ice cream
Hey hey why don’t you fuck me
Yeah, yeah, let’s go crazy and dance
I think this world has gone fucking crazy

You’re making me come, I’m inside you
You’re making me come, I’m fucking inside you
I’m gonna go crazy

I’m gonna go crazy, I’m gonna go crazy
I’m gonna go crazy, I’m delirious in you

Hey hey you’re so damn charming
Hey hey you’re so damn cute
I love, love, love you, I love you
I love, love, love you, I hate you

You’re making me come, I’m inside you
You’re making me come, I’m fucking inside you
I’m gonna go crazy

Hey hey sing to me about ice cream
Hey hey why don’t you fuck me
Yeah, yeah, let’s go crazy and dance now
I think this world has gone fucking crazy

You’re making me come, I’m inside you
You’re making me come, I’m fucking inside you
I’m gonna go crazy

Note: Hats off to Sakurai for the fantastic word play in this song. The words “cream soda” sound just like the words “kuruisou da” (“I’m gonna go crazy”) that appear in the first line. And of course, the connotations and image of cream soda work very well with the theme of the rest of the song.

RAIN
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

Look at me, here’s another way I'm tainted
I wounded you with a dull sword
I grew angry with warmth and gentleness, and turned my back on you
And one, two, three, my tears fell

Since when did I start to drown like this?
I deceived my scars with whiskey
I grew confused by happiness and joy, and I turned my back on you
And four, five, six, my tears fell

Sing in the rain. The rain stabs into you
I’m a clown who can’t smile, and I’m smiling
I didn’t want to make you sad, but even so…
Sing in the rain. People are sad creatures
Smile for me, as you dance, dripping wet
Keep singing to me that the world will shine again

I was so happy to have met you, without saying goodbye
And seven, eight, my tears…my tears overflowed

Sing in the rain. People are strange creatures
I’m a clown who can’t smile, and I’m smiling
I didn’t want to make you sad, but even so…
Sing in the rain. The rain stabs into you
I’m a clown who can’t smile, and I’m smiling
I didn’t want to make you sad, but even so…
Sing in the rain. People are sad creatures
Smile for me, as you dance, dripping wet
Keep singing to me that the world will shine again

When you sing in the rain
When you sing in the rain…

Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

We’re running swiftly to our ruin, bursting out in ecstasy, yeahhh!
I’ve just got to have you, honey! Get it on, get it on baby*
You and I are beasts, trembling in sextasy, yeahhh!**
Your heart is on fire, honey! Get away, get away baby

Eros in the moonlit night, Thanatos in bed***
I long for your caresses

Running swiftly until we die, you’re my ecstasy, yeahhh!
I’ve just got to have you, honey! Get it on, get it on baby

Eros in the moonlit night, Thanatos in bed
I long for your caresses
Raging libido, your nails in my back
I long for your burning caresses

I’m chasing an illusion, I can’t live unless I go mad
Your smell and the fragrance of death, I’m screaming out again and again, yeahhh!

Eros in the moonlit night, Thanatos in bed
I long for your caresses
Raging libido, your nails eating in
I long for your burning caresses

I’m chasing an illusion, I can’t live unless I go mad
Your smell and the fragrance of death, I’m screaming out again and again, yeahhh!
I’m chasing an illusion, I can’t live unless I go mad
Your smell and the fragrance of death, I’m screaming out again and again, yeahhh!

*The expression used here “ketsu ni hi ga tsuku” literally means “your ass is on fire,” but it’s actually an idiomatic phrase referring to an urgent need to do something (or in this case, someone.)

**The word “sextasy,” is obviously not really a word, it’s a word Sakurai made up and used in the original lyrics, so of course I preserved it in the translation. Since we get a lot of visitors to this site who aren’t native English speakers, I’ll say that it’s a combination of the words “sex” and “ecstasy,” therefore it must mean “sexual ecstasy.” What’s not to like?

***Eros and Thanatos are the Greek gods of erotic love and death, respectively. Eros was the song of Aphrodite, goddess of love, and is classically portrayed as a beautiful winged young man with a bow and a quiver full of the arrows of love. Thanatos and his twin brother, Hypnos, god of sleep, were sons of Nyx, goddess of night, and Erebos, god of darkness. Early representations of Thanatos show him as fearsome, but later, he came to be associated only with peaceful or natural death, and has been portrayed as a beautiful winged man, similar to Eros.

Zekkai (Absolute World)
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

It’s so uncertain, uncertain, uncertain, this world
Squirming, spiraling, raging, this world*

The sinking sun, the shining stars in the sky
The sound of the waves, and you and I—Baby, I love you.
Please don't forget--no, it’s fine, forget it
This whole world is your dream, Baby, I love you.

It’s so uncertain, uncertain, uncertain, this world
Retreating or fighting, survive in this world

Your flowing blood is red, so awfully blood red, blood red
I love you, and you don’t know I love you.
The tears fall—why are dreams so fragile and fickle?
I love you, I’m fine with you, Baby, I love you.

It’s so uncertain, uncertain, uncertain, this world
Squirming, spiraling, raging, this world

The sinking sun, the shining stars in the sky
The sound of the waves, and you and I—Baby, I love you.
Please don't forget--no, it’s fine, forget it
This whole world is your dream, Baby, I love you.

It’s so uncertain, uncertain, uncertain, this world
It’s so uncertain, uncertain
So uncertain
This world

Note: “Zekkai” is a word which Sakurai admits to having made up himself. I think it’s a combination of the word “zettai,” meaning “absolutely,” and the word “sekai,” meaning “world.” I chose to translate “zekkai” as “this world” because I thought it conveyed the song’s surface meaning the best, and had the best flow. However, if you would like to visualize the double meaning better, substitute the word “absolutely,” every place where the phrase “this world” appears (except in the line “this whole world is your dream.”)

*The word Sakurai used here, “ugomeku,” usually refers to the action of a large number of insects, such as ants or cockroaches, swarming together in a mass. I couldn’t think of an English word with the same meaning, but the image was so powerful I felt the need to include a note about it. “Uzumaku” usually refers to the spiraling of a whirpool.

Ah, I dream, and we love one another
Ah, I awaken…are we killing one other?

Ah, I sleep, and we love one another

When the pouring rain turns into snow
I put my frozen fingetips to your cheek

This white world must be your dream as you sleep, or an illusion
I spread a single line of red onto your monochrome face

If I were to hold you close, so close you couldn’t breathe
The close press of your lips, your smell…

This white world must be your dream as you sleep, or an illusion
I spread a single line of red onto your monochrome face

Let’s dance and fly away, let’s dance and fly away
Spring is too far away to wait for
Let’s dance and fly away, let’s dance and fly away
We were only dreaming…that’s right…only dreaming

Spider
Lyrics: Sakurai Atsushi
Music: Imai Hisashi

Our tangling hair and fingers spin threads night after night
I’d love to grant anything you wish for*
Your beautiful profile floats there palely
I’m sorry, but I can't understand your grief

Make the bed shake, more and more
This just isn't right—push me away
A spy behind the ceiling
Your love

Our entwined tongues and fingers draw threads night after night
I’d love to grant whatever you desire
Your breasts move, rise and fall palely
I’m sorry, but I can't understand your grief

Pull the threads in tighter
Is this love wrong? Does it hurt?

It’s all your fault that I’m all tied up**
Shake Hip Hit! I'm spurting out
A sad little spider

Make the bed shake, more and more
This just isn't right—push me away
Pull the threads in tighter
Is this love wrong? Does it hurt?

It’s all your fault that I’m all tied up
Shake Hip Hit! I'm spurting out
It’s all your fault that I’m all tied up
Shake Hip Hit! I'm spurting out
A sad little spider

*The way in which this phrase is constructed implies that while the singer would love to grant his lover’s wish, he probably can’t or won’t for some reason.

**The word here, “midareru,” literally means “to be confused” or “to be tangled.” I translated it as “to be tied up” to be consistent with the running imagery of spider silk, or a spider caught in its own web.

Lyrics: Imai Hisashi
Music: Imai Hisashi

I’m praying to love and the world, to the ephemeral
And to an angel of slaughter with folded wings as his trumpet resounds
It’s so cruel, darling, that you’re a zombina who covets love and the flesh*
But you don’t cry or anything—really, love is a complete nightmare

“I’m coming, are you ready? Ready or not!”**
I hiss in a sigh next to your ear

Oh! Yeah! Alice in Wonder Underground
Devil, Angel and Epicurean, let's go!

Let’s break free from your loneliness tonight, make a shooting star in bed
Andromeda’s tambourine is Pierrot upside down
Let’s go join the parade to be lost children jumping head over heels
Higher and higher, hold your breath! We’re going underground, falling down

“Higher, yeah, sink higher and higher”
I whispered in a sigh next to your ear

Oh! Yeah! Alice in Wonder Underground
Devil, Angel and Epicurean
Oh! Yeah! Alice in Wonder Underground
Devil, Angel and Epicurean, let's go!

Note: I took a lot of liberties in translating this song in order to best get across the meaning and tone of the lyrics. All the changes I made in the order of lines, etc. were very deliberate.

*”Zombina” appears to be a word that Mr. Imai made up. It looks like it’s a combination of “zombie” and “bambina.” I guess she wants to get it on but she can’t, because she’s undead.

**The phrase in this line is the line Japanese children use when playing hide and seek, the Japanese version of the phrase “Ready or not, here I come!” However, taken out of context, the Japanese phrase takes on a sexual double meaning which I made every effort to preserve in my translation. So, in short, yes, the word “to come” can be interpreted sexually in this context.
