Daitai no kaiketsusaku nara arekore yatte kitaI’ve tried all sorts of solutions for the most part.
Boukansha modoki mo tsui ni wa aru koto nai koto itteru naEven the fake bystanders are finally spreading lies.
Sonzai furimaite shimatteru ga yue ni morareru ichigon ikkuBecause they scatter their presence everywhere, every single word is exaggerated.
Hora chotto matte shinjichatte arasotteHey, wait a minute, you believe them and start a fight,
Kimi ga wariijust to say, “It’s your fault.”
Oh do it do it nani shiteruOh, do it, do it, what are you even doing?
Oh itsumade sou shiteruOh, how long will you keep acting like that?
Kanashimu na mae o muke barabara na sora miageDon’t be sad, face forward, and look up at the shattered sky.
Iya naraba ano toki sa saigo ni shichaeba yokatta no niIf you hated it so much, you should’ve ended it all back then.
Kanashimu na yoku mite oke magire mo nai bokutachi ga iruDon’t be sad, watch closely, we are unmistakably standing here.
Dareka no seigi ga katta toki dareka wa naite irun dakaraBecause when someone’s justice wins, someone else is left crying.
Nenkou joretsu no kujibikikai de wa monku ga ittoushouIn this seniority-based lottery, complaining wins the first prize.
Unhappy poem no tairyou seisan renjitsu zekkoujouThe mass production of unhappy poems is going perfectly every single day.
Aijou yuujou uttaeyou yo hayariyamai no you deLet’s preach about love and friendship as if it’s a spreading virus.
Kizuguchi ni buchikomu konna geijutsu wa ikagaHow do you like this kind of art that rubs salt directly into your wounds?
Oh mirumiru kiite kuruOh, I can see it taking effect right before my eyes.
Oh sasureba sukuwareruOh, if you soothe it, you’ll be saved.
Owanakerya ii no ni nee fuseji sura mo imi o nasanaiYou really shouldn’t chase after it, you know, even censored words lose their meaning.
Tatta hitotsu no yubisaki de kowaseru you na sekai na no saIt’s a fragile world that can be destroyed with just a single fingertip.
Saigo ni narimasu ga aratameteThis will be the last thing I say, but once again,
Toutoi goiken goshiteki ni kansha dake gohoukoku madeI just want to express my gratitude for your precious opinions and feedback.
Utsumuku na mae o mite namami no koe o hibikaseteDon’t look down, look forward, and let your raw, unfiltered voice echo.
Konna koto bakari shite hidoku zurui hito da yo neYou only do things like this, you’re a terribly unfair person, aren’t you?
Keep the peaceKeep the peace.
Kanashimu na naite made yamerarenai bokutachi ga iruDon’t be sad, we’re here, unable to stop even while shedding tears.
Honne iou to suru to ze naze namida wa derun darou naaWhy is it that tears fall when we try to speak our true feelings?
