椿屋四重奏 - LOVE 2 HATE

Wow, it's been over two months since I last posted. Time sure flies~

Artist: 椿屋四重奏 (Tsubakiya Shijuusou; Tsubakiya Quartette)
Song: LOVE 2 HATE
Album: TOKYO CITY RHAPSODY
Lyrics: Nakada Yuuji
Composer: Nakada Yuuji

LyricsRomajiTranslation
いつも単調な サイクルの輪をくぐって
浮かない現実が 開き直れば
静かな悲劇

思いつきの 連続で目が回って
君に触りたくって
夜空に晒す
愛の言葉の醜さよ

全部仕組まれた
甘い罠だった

愛しさが身を染めて
憎たらしさに呆れ
思いは加速していくばかり

塗り固めたイメージが
崩れ落ちて行く様
なかなかお目にかかれないよ

いつも冷静な 肩から腰にそって
張りつめていくテンション
尋常じゃない
赤い重力で

今の気分は 完全に血が上って
判断がつかなくって
世界の全てを
敵に回したっていいんだ

耳元で言った
これは罰だって

君が持ち込んだリズムが
何かを狂わすのさ
どれにも当てはまらないセオリー

記憶を辿ってみても
身に覚えの無い事
引き摺りおろされるように
愛に果て

君は気まぐれ
まさに罪だって

恋が襲った
恋が襲った
恋が
itsumo tanchou na saikuru no wa wo kugutte
ukanai genjitsu ga hirakinaoreba
shizuka na higeki

itsumo reisei na kata kara koshi ni sotte

koi ga osotta
koi ga osotta
koi ga
Going through the always monotonous cycle's circle
If the reality that isn't merry turns defiant
it's a quiet tragedy.

Dizzy with the continuity of ideas
I want to be touched by you
and exposed to the night sky
The ugliness of words of love

It was all devised.
It was a sweet trap.

Love stains the body,
and shocked by hatred,
thoughts are only accelerating.

The hardened image and
the crumbling appearance
aren't be able to meet up easily.

From the always calm shoulder along to the hips
A tension that's freezing over
It's not usual
It's red gravity

The feelings now completely raise the blood
Judgement won't follow
If all the world
surrounds its enemies it's fine

You said it to my ears
That this is a punishment

The rhythm you brought
drives something mad.
It's a theory that doesn't apply to everything

Even if I try to follow my memories
Things my body can't remember
So that the train of the dress will be dropped
The end of love

You're whimsical
Surely it's a crime

Love attacked
Love attacked
Love

There's a part where 上がって is used, but he sings のぼって. Just a note.

Lyrics: Nakada Yuuji
Composer: Nakada Yuuji

LyricsRomajiTranslation
感傷の世界を 知らないふりで
君の裸に耽ってる
相談はしないよ 俺一人でいい
人の心は変わるだろ

今日はもう眠るだけ
いびつな夢の姿
気づくより早く知る事

ありきたりなものを選んだ
裏切らないから
疑わない君を選んだ
それが欲しいから

灰色の砂埃 窓全部塞いで
君の言葉に耽ってる
従順でいるなら それが正しいよ
誰も傷つかないからさ

平積みされた言葉
力なく眺めていた
ガラス越しに見た嵐のようで

手当り次第に掘り返して
覚えたはずのやり方
いつ間にか忘れた
けれど今 涙流せたからさ いいよ

ありきたりなものを選んだ
裏切らないから
疑わない君を選んだ
それが欲しいから

飽きたなら 次のこと
試そうよ
誰も来ないから
ありきたりな君を 望んだ
それが欲しいから

ほらそこに触ってくれよ

I pretend I don't know of the sentimental world
and indulge in your nudity
Don't discuss with me Me by myself is fine
People's hearts will change

Today is already sleeping
The form of a distorted dream
More than just recognizing it, know it quickly

I chose ordinary people
Because they won't betray
I chose you who doesn't suspect
Because I want that

A gray cloud of dust fills the whole window
and I indulge in your words
If you're obedient, that's proper
No one will get hurt

Words that have been laid flat
I had gazed at them without effort
It's like a storm I saw beyond the glass

I recklessly tore it up
The method that I should have remembered
Unaware of it, I forgot
But now I'm crying It's okay

I chose ordinary people
Because they won't betray
I chose you who doesn't suspect
Because I want that

When I got tired, then the next thing
Let's try it
Because no one will come
I wished for the ordinary you
Because I want that

Hey, please touch me there

Lyrics: Yanaka Atsushi
Composer: Kawakami Tsuyoshi

LyricsRomajiTranslation
戸惑い纏って飛んだ 鮮やかな蝶を 独り
静かに見つめてた 悲しみを連れて
出口無くして 森の入口

絡み付く 寂しさで
格好つかないで 迷っていたよ

束ねた譜面を開き 不慣れな手つきで Woh
奏でたピアノから 聞こえてくるのは
呼び止める声 出掛けの「さよなら。」

かけてゆく 月の夜
変わり行く数字 見つめる君に
火をつけて 森の中
飛べなくなる蝶 見つめて酔い痴(し)れていようか

帰ろうとせずに はなそうとしない
終わり待つ夜と この美しい森

ひとつだけ 見えていた
夜空の星屑 目指して行くよ
目隠しで 森の中
戻らない旅に 出掛けて君を忘れようか?

止められない時を迷わず焦がしてく 炎で燃やし尽くしてくれ
tomadoi mattote azayakana chou wo hitori

It showed its confusion while it flew. A brilliant butterfly, alone.
I was gazing at it quietly. I took my sadness and
lost the exit. The forest's entrance.

The loneliness that coils around
Without being cool, I had lost my way.

Open up the bundled music in an inexperienced way, Woh
From the piano I play, the thing I can hear is
a challenging voice, a departing "goodbye."

A night of a waning moon
Changing numbers, for you who I gaze at.
Light a fire in the forest.
The butterfly won't be able to fly. Shall I watch its befuddlement?

Without going home, without being released.
With the night that waits for the end in this beautiful forest.

The was one thing I was able to see was
the stardust of the night sky. I'm aiming for it.
Blindfolded in this forest.
Will I forget you who left, in this journey I won't return from?

Without hesitating for unstoppable times, scorch it. Please burn it till with flames till it's all gone.

Song: トーキョー・イミテーション (Tokyo Imitation)
Album: TOKYO CITY RHAPSODY
Lyrics: Nakada Yuuji
Composer: Nakada Yuuji

LyricsRomajiTranslation
朝焼けが照らす東京は
使い捨てた 人形の群れ
朝焼けが染める東京は
グレイの肌とイミテーション

地下鉄の迷宮を 行き交う思惑は
軌道を変えずに今日も ある場所へ急ぐ

本当の事 嘘とまやかし どれだってかまわない
明日の口実さえあれば それで全てが済んだ

降り止まぬ夕立は 少しばかりの安らぎ
ショーウィンドウを抜け出したのは 誰かの嘆き

朝焼けが照らす東京は
仮面を剥いで 無防備だった
朝焼けが染める東京は
長い逃走に無限のフィクション

鏡越しの君の姿
僕の知る君とは違ってた

鳴り止まぬ警笛は 臆病な獣の声さ
すり替えた鍵の行方は 誰も知らない
asayake ga terasu toukyou wa

Tokyo, where the morning light shines on,
has thrown them away, a group of dolls
The Tokyo that the morning light dyes
is an imitation with a grey disposition.

The expectations that go back and forth through the maze of the subway will
hurry someplace today too without changing paths.

Real things, lies and deceptions, I don't care about either.
As long as there was an excuse for tomorrow, then everything was finished.

The unceasing evening rain is only a little tranquil.
The thing that slips away from the show window is someone's grief.

Tokyo, where the morning light shines on,
peeled off its mask and was defenseless.
Tokyo that the morning light dyes
is an endless fiction of a long escape.

The figure of you beyond the mirror,
it was different from the you I know.

The unceasing alarm is a cowardly beast's voice.
No one knows the whereabouts of the key I substituted.


I was considering doing the whole album, but we'll see. :)

LyricsRomajiTranslation
気付いてた 俺はとうに
破り捨てたコレクション
身を屈め 傷を舐め
息をひそめ狙った

君が跪いて 無抵抗になって
虚ろに見上げた
胸が疼いて 落ち着かないぜ
罪に取り憑かれて

こんな事で世界は
動かないよ

君はクレイジー まともじゃないぜ
無造作に抱かれて
just call me crazy 見境無いぜ
鮮やかに染まって

目に映るもの全て 燃え尽きたかのようさ
手に触れたもの全て 凍り付いてるようさ

何も縛らないよ 君の自由さ
好きに選びなよ
非対称なせいで 歩けやしないぜ
すぐに道をそれて

こんな事で世界は
踊らされて

君はクレイジー 間違いないぜ
無造作に求めて
just call me crazy 見境無いぜ
鮮やかに染まって

君はクレイジー 深く知りすぎて
l wanna be crazy 疑わないで
鮮やかに染まって

just call me crazy
I wanna be crazy
I've realized it. I'm already
a collection that's been discarded.
Bent my body, licked my wounds,
held my breath and aimed.

You kneeled, became unresisting,
and looked up vacantly
My heart aches and I can't be calm.
I'm haunted by guilt.

Because of this, the world
won't move.

You're crazy, you're not straight-forward.
You're embraced by simplicity
Just call me crazy, there's no distinction.
Dye me vividly.

Everything that reflects in your eyes seems like they're burning out.
Everything touched by your hand seems to freeze.

Nothing ties it down, your freedom.
Don't choose as you like.
Because it's asymmetrical you can't walk.
Stray from the road right away.

Because of this, the world
is being manipulated.

You're crazy, there's no mistake.
Simply demanding.
Just call me crazy, there's no distinction.
Dye me vividly.

You're crazy, You know too much.
I wanna be crazy, without a doubt.
Dye me vividly.

Just call me crazy.
I wanna be crazy.

なぜ 同じ人間なのに傷つけ合うの?
人を好きになったり 気持ちは同じはず
スクリーンに向かって 涙流すことしか
できないの くやしいよ この胸が

Peace loving people

Peace loving people
黄色の地平線作ろう
Peace loving people

孤独な太陽にならないように
大人たちの心へと叫ぶよ

On T.V., children's

The present where a life without crime is disappearing.
What can we do now?

Peace loving people
So that sunflower won't wither
Peace loving people
Let's create a yellow-colored horizon
Anywhere, anywhere...a continuing road
Peace loving people

Why do we hurt one another even though we're all humans?
Like falling in love, the feeling should be the same.
Facing the screen, things that can make me cry.
It's terrible! This heart is...

Peace loving people
So that sunflower won't wither
Peace loving people
Let's create a yellow-colored horizon
Peace loving people

So that we won't become like the lonely sun,
shout to the hearts of adults!

Peace loving people
So that sunflower won't wither
Let's create a yellow-colored horizon
Anywhere, anywhere...a continuing road

基本はノリの悪い私が参加する
久々のドライブで皆ハイテンション 彼も来るの!
脈が今は無くとも 絶対行きますとも!
「すっごいすっごいポーカーフェイスだとしたら。。。アルよ」なんて

「海は日焼けするから 山にしよう」って
コートの季節なのに勘違いしてる

どうしてなの? こんな嬉しくて ちぎれそうな程 笑っているのに
彼の背中 見ては胸つまる 絶えない笑顔の渦の中で

無駄に保守的なとこ 打破したいんだけど
スカートは結局履かすじまいなの 次回こそは

「定員オーバーしてます 窓曇ってるし」
彼がそう笑いながら平袖になってる

窓を開けて 声を放り投げた こんな楽しい事 他にはないのに
彼の笑顔 見ては胸つまる うかれた女の 渦の中で

寒いよって文句言いながら腕組んで飛び出した
冷たい星 砕いて散りばめた空 見上げたら

どうしてなの? 私の隣に 突然彼がいて 思わず黙る
「キレイ」って言う 彼の優しい声 ぶれて裏返って 本当に笑えた

予想外の寒さだったけれど 久々に会えて 企画者エライエライ
はしゃぎすぎた私達ぐったり この日を永遠に 覚えてたい

I, who am in a bad mood, will go.
A long drive and everyone in high tension. He's coming too!
Without a pulse now, I will definitely go!
Something like, "Giving an amazing poker face...I'll be there."

"The ocean will give us sunburn, so let's go to the mountain," he says.
But it's coat season, he's mistaken.

Why is it? I'm so happy it seems I'm being torn apart, although I'm laughing
His back, seeing it tightens up my chest. I'm in the whirlpool of his never-ending smiling face.

Uselessly conservative times, I want to break down but
Should I have worn a skirt after all? Next time.

"We've got too many people, and the windows are foggy."
While he makes that smile, he becomes distant.

I opened the window and threw out my voice. This kind of happiness, there's nothing else besides it.
His smiling face, seeing it tightens up my chest. I'm in the whirlpool of a merry woman.

While he complained that it was cold, he folded his arms and rushed out.
I looked up at the sky where cold stars broke and started to fall.

Why is it? Suddenly he's next to me and it's silent without noticing.
"Beautiful" he says with his kind voice. I was shaken upside down, and I was really able to smile.

There was an unforeseen coldness, but we were able to meet for a long time. A great, great planner.
We were too happy and exhausted. I want to remember this day for eternity.
