Tasogare Otomoe x Amnesia - CHOIR JAIL
Language: Japanese

Sankarea - Esoragoto
Language: Japanese






Lyrics
[Intro]
What if the story that I heard on that sleepless night is all just an impossible fantasy?


[Verse 1]
Rather than knowing eternity, I seek pleasure and lament over the present.
Maybe I do that to run away from the shadows that have settled deep inside my heart.
[Pre-Chorus]
Even so, if I’ll be able to come to love who I am...


[Chorus]
The sun, broken in half, brings the morning with it and gradually stimulates my senses that have grown used to the dark.
The misplaced contents of my brain are a story whose scenario has disappeared, and I’ll just leave things that way.


Freely, freely, I’ll take the helm and soar up to greater heights.


[Verse 2]
The voice of that child who’s crying on the other side of the chosen answer won’t be heard.
Emotion isn’t something you can measure with someone’s rusted ruler, after all.


[Verse 3]
For the sake of myself and no one else, I’ll hide my wounds so that I can smile at today.
With my slightly strained voice, I’ll sing out the fantasy. The things that are here right now are everything to me.


[Ending Chorus]
With the coming of sun, broken in half, the day begins again. What comes next in the story lies right here in my hands,

Because just being loved isn’t the ending – it’s not enough just be satisfied.
Freely, freely, I’ll take the helm; soaring further out, I’ll become a bird.
Freely, freely, I’ll take the helm; soaring higher up, I’ll become a star.

Nabari no Ou - Crawl
Language: Japanese






Translation
[Verse 1]
Advancing by crawling along the earth is
Just the ordinary climb all over again
Even with my destiny carved out for me, I just take a deep breath
I knew it wasn't enough
The days felt as if they were going to be destroyed by the thunderous roar
The needle-like rain stopped and you arrived.

Sha la la I sing for you
Sha la la

[Verse 2]
A dulled eternity is the "symbol of boredom", meaningless
Like a pool made at the bottom of the sea
Painting swirls on the water's surface,
The too-high sky is reflected upon it
If you're joking make it that I understand

Sha la la I sing for you
Sha la la fight for myself
Sha la la I sing for you
Sha la la

[Verse 3]
I can't take this "boredom" anymore.
Standing still on the stage, the courage to fight back
I don't care, I don't care
I wonder if you'll smile even without an "existence"...
At the pace of when you just start running
The scenery that flew by
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care
Are you going to find out what is really right or wrong?

[Verse 4]

Finally at the goal you've struggled up to, the truth known for the first time
I don't care, I don't care
I wonder if you'll realize it tomorrow...
Even the distorted air ripped off of March
I don't care, I don't care
Going up the 13 steps
They'll be waiting for your hands
If we make a new start after the today that we came to know pain
I'll be there, I'll be there, I'll be there

[Ending Verse]

The murmured regrets are clinging to your hand
Is that sharpened blade being swung for the sake of someone else?

Bakemonogatari - Staple Stable
Sung by Senjougahara Hitagi (CV: Chiwa Saito)
Language: Japanese






Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We can still make it if we act now 
It'd be better if we retreated 
Before we get into more misunderstandings.
(Staple stable)
The needles that closed you up 
Somewhere along the way began to stab 
Into my heart... It hurts. 
It's your fault.


[Pre-Chorus]
Don't come here 
To this kind of, kind of me. 
Don't look 
To that kind of, kind of place. 
Don't let go of me 
With that kind of, kind of smile 
You make to any kind of person.


[Chorus]
Continuing on anywhere 
Just like the sky 
Swear to me an eternity that never ends.
You're teasing and kind 
Just like the ocean. 
If you jump into my heart, accept me.
You can't measure these feelings by their weight 
Because I convey them only to you now.


[Verse 2]
The future is still not decided yet, 
Even though that was your hope, 
When did it turn into fear?
(Staple stable)
These kind of times, these kind of things 
I tried remind the person I spoke with. 
At the very front... I knew it. 
It was only you.


[Pre-Chorus]
Search 
For that kind of, kind of me 
See through 
To those kind of, kind of places. 
Don't let go of me 
With that kind of, kind of smile 
Whenever.


[Chorus]
Continuing on anywhere 
Just like the sky 
Swear to me an eternity that never ends.
You're teasing and kind 
Just like the ocean. 
If you jump into my heart, accept me.
You can't measure these feelings by their weight 
Because I convey them only to you now.


[Bridge]
Lined up, lying down. 
In the sky we gazed up at. 
The constellations drawn 
Are a story only for the two of us.
Grant my wish, 
Shining shooting star.


[Verse 3]
I tried tip-toeing my way across 
An impatient distance  
So hey? This is the most I can do for today.
Everyday is trivial 
And uncertain, but 
It's so that I can smile by your side again tomorrow.


[Ending Chorus]
Continuing on anywhere 
Just like the sky 
Swear to me an eternity that never ends.
You're teasing and kind 
Just like the ocean. 
If you jump into my heart, accept me.
You can't measure these feelings by their weight 
Because I convey them only to you now.

Nisemonogatari - Naisho no Hanashi
Sung by ClariS
Language: Japanese






Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Today too my lively alarm clock
tells my brain it’s morning already.
As I rub my sleepy eyes,
the day begins!

You left something on your desk,
today too you forgot all about it!
I ran with all my energy after you,
why didn’t you realize it?
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t think that
I’ll always be here like this.
I’m sure someday
someone will take me from you,
do you understand that?
[Chorus]
If that time comes, it will be too late.
If you cry at that time, it’s too late for me to care.
It will do you no good to make that face…
Really, you are so mean
Did you flinch a bit just now?
[Verse 2]
That girl in school uniform
has gotten your interest…it’s obvious.
I’m right beside you and yet…
what is the meaning of this?
[Pre-Chorus]
You don’t have to say anything,
just treat me as your
most precious.
But still, you are always like that.
Are you thickheaded? Or is it on purpose?
[Chorus]
Even if you take notice of me now, it’s too late.
Even if you try to give me excuses now, I won’t care.
Making that face also won’t work on me…
Really, you are easy
I’ll become angry, you know?
(Instrumental)
[Chorus]
Until that time comes, look at me.
when that time comes, I may just cry…
and making that face will still not do any good…
Really, I love you
but, this is my secret story.
[Ending Chorus]
If that time comes, it will be too late.
If you cry at that time, it’s too late for me to care.
It will do you no good to make that face…
But you know,
I’m always thankful for everything.
