Probably nobody follows NVVICIOUS anymore, but, oh my god, my youtube channel got deleted :'( I'm so sad right now. I should have kept in touch with this project. Now it's all gone. They're all gone. I don't have any backup files of the videos I made. :'((((

Hello everyone! I have finally settled down and now
have the time to translate the rest of Miu Sakamoto's songs.
Here's one for the time being as I finish up the rest of her songs.
I will be providing goodies because it's been so long since I last posted here. :)

Love Traveler

kono koe kono me mo migite mo kuchibiru mo kimi no mono da yo
"chi ni ashi tsukenasai" tte iu kedo, kimochi wa kimi ni tsuiteru
kimi no ne, suteki na tokoro wo kazoete aruiteitara
totemo tooku no machi made tadori tsuiteita

This voice, these eyes, my right hand, even my lips, they are all yours
"Keep your feet on the ground," they say, but these feelings are for you
Hey you, if you count the steps it takes to reach that far away town
You would have finally arrived at that wonderful place

daremo inai senro waki no komichi de
densha no kaze wo hoo ni ukeru yon byou
kiyoraka na yuuhi no terasu shounen wa
ima to onaji tsuyoi me wo shita kimi datta

No one on the side of the railroad
Gets hit in 4 seconds by the wind from the train
The boy illuminated by the pure rays of the setting sun
Has the same compelling look in his eyes as you do now

konna ni yasashii konna ni itoshii
hitorijime shitai kedo himitsu ni dekinai

This is so easy, this is so lovely I want it all to myself, but I can't keep it a secret

kono koe kono me mo migite mo kuchibiru mo kimi no mono da yo (konna ni yasashii)
"chi ni ashi tsukenasai" tte iu kedo, kimochi wa kimi ni tsuiteru (konna ni itoshii)

This voice, these eyes, my right hand, even my lips, they are all yours (This is so easy)
"Keep your feet on the ground," they say, but these feelings are for you (This is so lovely)

kimi no ne, tokubetsu na tokoro kazoete taimu toraberu (hitorijime shitai kedo)
jikan wa nobichidjimi shite eien ni naru (himitsu ni dekinai)

Hey you, that special place you mentioned of time travel (I want it all to myself but)
Time marches on into eternity (I can't keep it a secret)

ameagari sukoshi samishii yoake ni
yawarakai kami wo sotto nadete miru
toori yuku taiya no haneru mizu no oto
meguriau zutto mae kara mikata datta yo

After the rain, a little empty at the crack of dawn
I try to gently stroke your soft hair
The sound of a car's tires splashing in the water
It was a friend I have met before by chance

kono koe kono me mo migite mo kuchibiru mo kimi no mono da yo (konna ni yasashii)

I am so sorry, everyone! ;_;

I had five projects to do over my spring break so I was unable to work on my translations at all. Rest assure, though, that I will get them done!

Been a while

2013-03-05T08:52:00.003-06:00

Hello. NERO here.

It's a been a while since I last did anything for this blog :(
But fear not because my spring break is in two weeks!

I will do my best to finish translating the rest of Miu's songs. ^_^

Oh, and this is my 100th post! hehe

Go

Ah I have to get to the bottom of this right away
Ah it's going to be the end of the world if I don't

kotae wa nai katachi mo nai
tsuyoi kimochi hanasanai

There's no answer, no shape or form
Don't let go of this powerful feeling

There's no goal, no plan or aim
Love is beginning to run away

itsunomanika kimi wa watashi no naka ni ite
dakara sekai wa konna ni mabushiku natta

Before I know it you are all I can think about
That's why the world has become this radiant

a~ isoide kimi no moto e ikanakucha

Ah I have to get to the bottom of this soon
Ah I must tell you I want to stay by your side

kono te ni wa nanni mo nai

This sort of thing, it doesn't exist
If you fall in love, you'll see

umareta riyuu nidome no jiyuu

The reason why we're born, why we get second chances
Love is beginning to grow and bloom

itsunomanika kimi wa watashi no naka ni ite

Before I know it you are all I can think about
If I can go on living like this my world will brighten

Before I know it you are all I can think about
That's why the world has become this radiant

Smile On

nandemonai koto ni sukkari hamatteru jibun ga iru
naze watashi wa tsukarehatete nemuru koto sae dekinai?

I have completely fallen into nothingness
Why am I so tired, why can't I just sleep and forget about everything?

kodomotachi no koto miteiru dake demo
tokidoki watashi wa waratte shimau
watashi ga kodomo wo miteiru onaji me de otona ga miteiru koto
wakatteite mo s mile on

It's only when I see children play and laugh
That I can smile and feel a sense of joy and happiness
It's when I see them, when I see them through the eyes of an adult
That I fully understand, I must smile on

ooku no uso kegaretachi wa watashi no mawari oou
hajimete shitta daremo watashi no kawari ni narenai koto

I have been surrounded by so many lies and shame
For the first time in my life I knew that I could never be replaced

te no todokanai mono nozondari shinai to
mainichi nante konna ni shizen
utsumuitetari aisowarai shitari suru hitsuyou nai hazu
wakari hajimeta smile on

We can never wish for the things we can't have
Such is the nature of life
We shouldn't have to look down on ourselves and fake our smiles
I'm beginning to understand, I must smile on

kagi sagasanakute mo shinpai nai
datte aiteiru kamoshirenai
umaku yuku toki mo areba smile on
dame na toki mo kanarazu aru yo

We shouldn't worry about searching for the key
That might open the door we need
If there are moments that turn out fine, then smile on
Because there is always going to be those that do not

Fate will have to smile on me

Happy New Year!!

Since the world didn't end, here's to 2013!

Come April, it's going to be five years since my blog began. This year will also be the year I stop updating my blog. My Rin' translations are finally coming to an end, and I still have to finish translating Miu Sakamoto's "I'm Your's" album. Once these are done, I'm not sure I'll ever be on here again. :(

Thank you to all of you who have found my blog useful, and I wish you all a Happy New Year!

Best regards,

Lyrics translated by NVVICIOUS

Release

iroaseta kawaita machi genjitsu.yume kousasuru
kurikaesu amai yuuwaku itsuwari.uso yudaneteiru

Worn out, I reach the dried-up road that intersects reality and dreams
Over and over again, I give in to the sweet temptation of deception and lies

samayoi yukikau hito no nagare ni sakarai aruku
aisowarai nanka shinai kuchiteku kotoba wo sutete

Walk against the stream of people that wander about aimlessly
Purge yourself of their fake insincere smiles and rotting words

kazari tsukushita hiriki na tsuyosa wa wareteshimatta kagami no youni
itsuwari no shiruetto sagashi atsumete nigirishimeru

The powerless strength you tried to restore is like a cracked broken mirror
Search through the silhouette of lies and hold on to it tightly when you find it

aimai na toki yuraganai kakushin wa nai
iki ga tsumarisou na kurai karamatta yami to hikari

There is no heart that does not sway at any moment in time
When life is about to be smothered by the intertwining darkness and light

kotoba no kage ni ayatsurareta mama jibun ushinai ochiteiku shisen
kensou ni magirekomi mahi saseta mama sagashiteiru

If I could grasp the meaning behind these words, I would begin to lose my way
Lost in all the turmoil, I’m paralyzed, but I keep on searching

jibun wo mitasu koto dake kangae kekkyoku nanimo mitsukari wa shinai
sukuttemo nagareochi katachi no nai mono bakari motome
kokoro ga sakebu… jibun tokihanachi
kodoku de mo aruke ba ii itsuwari no ima wo sutesatte

I think we can only appease ourselves when there isn’t anything to find after all
I only hope to pick up the bits and pieces that come by
Cry your heart out… Release yourself
Even if we’re lonely, we should go on and free ourselves of these lies

Hey, every time I call out your name
I wonder where this sweet smell is coming from
Hey, even when I'm not saying it around you
It is always coming from the bottom of my heart
The happiness if I were to express my love to the one I love
Might be the reward I'm trying to live for, right?

Hey, the next time we meet at the corner let's hold hands
I already want to take you away from here
Hey, just being there with you is perfect enough
You don't have to worry at all
The happiness if I were to express my love to the one I love
Might be the reward I'm trying to live for, right?

The reward I've been trying to live for
The happiness if I were to express my love to the one I love
I want to continue to sing about the story of you

A Fireworks Dream

sugisaru natsu no hi jukushita orenji
hoshi no sukima ni narabete
yuraida hanabi no nioi ga setsunaku
awai kioku wo tsuretekuru

The passing summer days, the ripening oranges
Launched into the sky between the stars
The smell of bursting fireworks stings
And brings back memories long forgotten

tonari de nozoku anata no hitomi ni
“mitsumeteitai.” sonna toki mo
gokai to mujun no naka de hikari wo miidasezu ni
hirogaru futari no kyori ni kidzuiteita

Next to you, unnoticed, I wanted to keep
Looking into your eyes. Even at that time
Without looking for the light among all the misunderstanding and confusion
I noticed that the distance between us was growing

negatta kisetsu ni moeru yume hanabi
omoi no kakera wo utsushite
“sayonara.” nijimu sora ni chiru anata wa natsu no kaze ni kieta

My fireworks dream burns with the seasons I’ve hoped for
It reflects a tiny fragment of how I feel
Farewell. In the boundless dawning sky, you disappeared into the summer wind

haruka na oozora yasashiku megutte
hitori no watashi mimamoru
dokoka de miageteiru darou anata e
odayaka na “ima” todoketai

The vast endless sky revolves at a leisurely pace
I’m watching it by myself
Wherever you are, if you’re looking up at the sky
I want to send you this tranquil moment

itsuwari no nai anata no egao ni
"sunao de itai.” donna toki mo
uso mo kako no kizuato mo subete sarakedasetara
ima de mo futari no sora wa tsunagatteta

Without deceiving, encouraged by your smile
“I want to be honest.” Even during a time like this,
After I exposed all the lies and past scars I have,
The sky between us is still connected

deaeta kiseki ni moeru yume hanabi
omoi no kakera wo utsuseba
“arigatou.” kazashita te ni saku anata he
sotto warai kakeru

My fireworks dream burns with the wonders I’ve encountered
If I reflect a tiny fragment of how I feel
“Thank you.” Opening up, holding out my hand towards you
I slowly smiled

negatta kisetsu ni moeru yume hanabi
omoi no kakera wo utsushite
“sayonara.” nijimu sora ni chiru anata wa natsu no kaze ni kieta

My fireworks dream burns with the seasons I’ve hoped for
It reflects a tiny fragment of how I feel
Farewell. In the boundless dawning sky, you
Disappeared into the summer wind

deaeta kiseki ni moeru yume hanabi
omoi no kakera wo utsuseba
“arigatou.” kazashita te ni saku anata he

My fireworks dream burns with the wonders I’ve encountered
If I reflect a tiny fragment of how I feel
“Thank you.” Opening up, holding out my hand towards you
I slowly smiled
And you slowly smiled back

Once again I’m trying to figure out how to say this clearly
I still cannot express the reason why I love you
From what kind of light am I seeing you in?
Will I not know? It’s always been shining and glowing like this

sekai no kyori wa anata e no kyori de

The far reaches of the world, the distance to get to you,
Is how far I will go to be near you, no matter how wide it gets

How much will my love grow?
I like today more than yesterday
Let me feel just a little bit of the loneliness you have
Let me carry, too, the huge burden on your shoulders
I want to hold your hand for a while
Until someday, maybe until we reach the end of our time

Letting go of just about everything and taking a leap of faith, know that I love you

Keep on running beyond even the memories to be made

After numerous attempts to redesign my blog, I opted to go back to how I first started posting.
This is when I placed the English translation under the romaji.

The two-column thing just wasn't working out the way I had wanted it to.
Hopefully, this is the last time I will make any changes to the blog.

Also, I am still not translating Rin' songs...
Only three more to go, but I just can't seem to concentrate these days.

I'm still working on updating the rest of the posts...

Akatsuki no Chigiri

The Promise at Dawn

haruka sora tooku tooku e to terasu
atarashii futari no asa ga makuakeru

The boundless sky shines on far, far away
A brand new morning for two people is rising

tojita hitomi ni arawareta anata no rinkaku ga itoshii
sotto te wo nobasu to sukitoori kieteitta
tsuyogatte hanashita te
yuganda yoru ni tachitsukushita
kodoku kara anata ga te wo sashinoberu

When I close my eyes your lovely face appears
When I gently reached out my hand, you faded and disappeared
I quickly pulled my hand away
Motionless in the distorted night
From this loneliness, you reached your hand out to me

haruka sora tooku tooku e to terasu
atarashii futari no asa ga makuakeru
asatsuyu no shizuku ga shu ni somatta nara
shukuhai no sakadzuki ni kuchidzuke wo

The boundless sky shines on far, far away
A brand new morning for two people is rising
If the drops of morning dew are stained with red
Give a kiss to the cup of sake and make a toast

hikari to kage ga karamatta kono genjitsu de anata ni aeta
akatsuki no sora ni shiroku ukanda tsuki ga hohoemu
surechigau omoi kasane
me wo sorashi tsudzuketeita hibi ni
owari tsuge nagai yoru kara mezameru

The light and shadows are intertwined; in this kind of world I get to see you
In the dawning sky something white rises---the moon is smiling
Our feelings accumulate as we pass by each other
Always averting our eyes every time
I wake up from this long endless night

hateshinaku nagaku nagaku tsudzuiteiku
yorisotta futari no wadachi kizamareta
asa no hikari ni kagayaita kiseki ni
ippen no hanabira ga maioriru

Interminably getting longer and longer
An imprint of two people together is left behind
The morning light shines down
On the single flower petal falling

haruka sora tooku tooku e to terasu
atarashii futari no asa ga makuakeru
asa tsuyu no shizuku ga shu ni somatta nara
shukuhai no sakadzuki ni kuchidzuke wo
akatsuki ni chigiri wo kawasu

The boundless sky shines on far, far away
A brand new morning for two people is rising
If the drops of morning dew are stained with red
Give a kiss to the cup of sake and make a toast
Make a promise at dawn

atarashii futari no asa ga makuakeru

A brand new morning for two people is rising

Sai no Kami

The God of Travellers

renzan wo shitagaete minamo ni (choubou zekka to) sugata wo utsusu
moya orite shiroku hikaru namida no ue ni utsusu
ume no (ume no) ka no (ka no) soba ni sae aru
fugaku kizen to takaku sobietatsu
hitotoki mo sugata todomezu ochiyuku (shibuki ga toutou to) kawagarasu tobi egaku shiroi monyou
ranman no hanasakasu hiun no kindachi no hi (tada yume no gotoku)
furuku kokemushite shirushi kieusu

The shape of the mountain valley (a beautiful view) is reflected on the water’s surface
The haze descends emulating the white shining tears above
The smell (the smell) of apricots (apricots) is even nearby
The fortitude of Mt. Fuji stands tall, towering over the land
In an instant shapes cease to exist (splash!) the brown dipper flies, making a white pattern
Glorious flowers erect the tragic fate of our kings (as if they were merely a dream)
Now old and covered in moss the memorial disappears

taki wo kami osorete soshite kami e to inoru (uyamai tsudzukeru)
sennen no sekijitsu mo kawarinaku afururu mizu seiretsu na toki no nagare
sanryou ni shizumu yuuhi moyuru izu sai no kami

A waterfall, afraid of God, prays to God (honoring Him)
Even a thousand years did not change the spring water the cool and clear flow of time
The shining sun sets behind the mountain ridges of Izu, the God of Travellers

tooka no inochi no genji hotaru ga mau yoru
chikurin no komichi kaze no komichi ni kawaru

On the tenth day of Genji’s life fireflies danced in the night
The path of bamboo thickets, the path of the wind changes

taki wo kami osorete soshite kami e to (uyamai tsudzukeru) inoru
sennen no sekijitsu mo kawari naku afururu mizu seiretsu na toki no nagare
sanryou ni shizumu yuuhi moyuru izu sai no kami

A waterfall, afraid of God prays to God (honoring Him)
Even a thousand years did not change the spring water the cool and clear flow of time
The shining sun sets behind the mountain ridges of Izu, the God of Travellers

kareno wo shio ni yakishi ga amari koto ni tsukuri kaki hikuya
kareno wo shio ni yakishi ga amari

In a desolate field where you cooked with barely any salt you made a koto and played it
In the desolate field you cooked with barely any salt

Weakness

zattou ni magirete kieta kotobatachi to tameiki to
korekara mo fuetsudzuketeku hitsuyou no nai nimotsu

Words and sighs slip through the crowd and disappear
And then the unnecessary burdens continue to increase

itsumo to wa chigau densha de moteamashita jikan tsukau
hannichi no toki no zure sae suikomu tonneru
"tsukareta hibi oyasuminasai" jibun ni sutezerifu nagete
suwaru basho wo sagashiteiru mendou wa sagete tourebaii?
tayasuku te ni ireta mono nante ushinau kotodatte kantan
warete chirakatta kagami nozokikomu
"ima no jibun sukidesuka"

Always riding on different trains to pass away the time
The afternoon hours slip by through the tunnels
“Good night long, tiring days” I remarked to myself
As I search for a place to sit should I ignore what troubles me?
All the things I got easily I lose them easily as well
I peer into the broken pieces of the mirror
"Do I like this kind of me right now?"

kagami no uragawa nante nanika ga aru wakejanai yo
No place to hide, detected by yourself
We’ll see our weakness in you and me
wasureta mama ni natte shimatta shikketa kyonen no hanabi no youni
kioku to omoide tojikometeitara jibun rashikunai ka mo nee

It doesn’t mean there's something on the other side of the mirror
No place to hide, detected by yourself
We’ll see our weakness in you and me
This forgotten weakness has become like the damp fireworks of last year
If I were to lock away all my memories then I wouldn’t be me, right?

zattou ni magirete kieta kotobatachi to tameiki to
korekara mo fuetsudzuketeku hitsuyou no nai nimotsu

Words and sighs slip through the crowd and disappear
And then the unnecessary burdens continue to increase

I don't know, but I am SUPER excited about it.
It seems that she has or was dropped from ToysFactory

Seems like she is recording some new songs. Again, I don't know for sure, but SUPER excited that she is resurfacing!

Yachiyo no Kaze
The Eternal Wind
nagareyuku kumoji haruka tooku kigi sasayaki
sotto katawara ni saita sora wo aogi hokoru hana
hakanaki hoshi yo ten ni mabataki
aoku mamoriyuki sora yorozu no kaze wo shiru
hitori fushita hitomi sotto nagareyuku shizuku

The clouds float into the distance, the trees stir from far away
While the beautiful flowers look up towards the dawning sky
The fleeting stars twinkle in the heavens
The blue protecting sky knows everything about the wind
Closing our eyes, a single drop slowly falls

samayoi tsukisenu meikyuu no naka soredemo asu e ayumiyuku
kokoro no kagami ni utsushidashita ima wo mitsumete kanjitai
yachiyo no kaze michi wo izanaite

We wander for eternity inside a labyrinth, but we still keep on walking towards tomorrow
When the mirrors of our hearts are revealed, I want to see and experience that moment
The path of the Eternal Wind is calling

kiyoki kirameku hikari yo towa no inochi terashi
inori sasage nemuriyuku kako no omoinotake
kaze ka ni tayutai meguru tomoshibi
iroka mo aya ni chiriyuku mauya hana no gotoku
kasumu ten ni kobore ochiru tamayura no namida

The clear sparkling light shines on our immortal lives
And I offer a dying prayer of our memories of the past
The scent of the wind drifts around the light
Even its colors spread in a pattern like dancing flowers
From above the tears of our fleeting moments fall

itsuka wa kieyuku hakanai inochi soredemo ashita motomeyuku
kokoro no kageri fukikeshitai ima wo ikitai kanjitai
yachiyo no kaze michi wo izanaite

Someday our transient lives will disappear, but we still keep on wishing for a tomorrow
When we want to erase the shadows of our hearts, I want to live for and experience that moment
The path of the Eternal Wind is calling

samayoi tsukisenu meikyuu no naka soredemo asu e ayumiyuku
kokoro no kageri fukikeshitai ima wo ikitai kanjitai
yachiyo no kaze michi wo izanaite

We wander for eternity inside a labyrinth, but we still keep on walking to tomorrow
When we want to erase the shadows of our hearts, I want to live for and experience that moment
The path of the Eternal Wind is calling

Romaji from xayaka3fanx

Hajimari no Toki

When It Begins

kanashimi ga yasashisa ni kawatte wakare ga deai wo yobiyoseru
sonna koto wo kurikaeshiteku tabi otona ni natte yuku no ka na
nani wo shinji doko ni susumu no jibun shika shiru hazu no nai mirai e mukai

Sadness changes into gentleness, separation calls for an encounter
Each time each of those things are repeated I wonder if we become adults
Where will what you believe in take you to?
No one but me should know what the future brings

Life boku wo ikiru mogaki nagara demo jibun to yuu kokoro de
Life naita kinou tachidomatta kinou subete asu ni tsunagaru
me no mae ni aru tobira wo hirakeba hajimari no toki

Life I live even though I am struggling in my heart
Life I cried yesterday, the stillness of yesterday all bridges to tomorrow
Before my eyes the door will open when it begins

tsurai toki anata no sonzai ga konna ni taisetsu da to shitta
kanashimi mo yorokobi mo hontou wa tonari awase ni irun da ne
nani wo erabi doko ni watasu no jibun igai no dareka wo shinjiru koto mo

The painful times in your life, know that they were important
Sadness and happiness really are just close to each other, huh?
Where will what you choose ferry you to?
Who else but me would believe in this?

Life tomo ni ikiru te to te tsunaidara umareru chikara ga aru
Life kuyanda kinou nigedashita kinou subete asu ni tsunagaru
yowasa wo anata ni sotto sashidasu hajimari no toki

Life you live when our hands are held together a power is born
Life I mourned yesterday, the flights of yesterday all bridge to tomorrow
You quietly offer your weakness when it begins

Life boku wo ikiru mogaki nagara demo jibun to yuu kokoro de
Life naita kinou tachidomatta kinou subete asu ni tsunagaru
me no mae ni aru tobira wo hirakeba hajimari no toki

Life I live even though I am struggling in my heart
Life I cried yesterday, the stillness of yesterday all bridges to tomorrow
Before my eyes the door will open when it begins
