Villain
Good Bye April • From “HOW UNIQUE!”
HOW UNIQUE!’s Villain Japanese Lyrics English Translation
The lyrics writer, 倉品翔, questions what it means to be labeled a villain. ‘If that’s the case, isn’t it fine to be the villain?’ The song describes the struggle of staying true to oneself in a world quick to judge.
It’s up to you!!It’s up to you!!
Good to be a heelGood to be a heel.
Now open your eyesNow open your eyes.
Warui yatsu da to iwaretaThey told me I’m a bad guy,
Jibun rashiku furumatta dake dejust because I acted like myself.
Konna seken to zureta ore no kansei waMy sensibilities, which are out of touch with this world,
Machigai rashiiare apparently a mistake.
Da to shitaraIf that’s the case,
Akuyaku demo iin ja nai?isn’t it fine to be the villain?
Shuyaku wa itsudemo jibunI’m always the main character of my own story.
It’s gonna be right!!It’s gonna be right!!
Yuzurenai mono ga aru naraAs long as there’s something you won’t compromise on,
Kirawarete mo iin ja nai?isn’t it fine to be hated?
Sono kawari doko e demo toberuIn exchange, you can fly anywhere.
It’s gonna be right!!It’s gonna be right!!
Sore ijou no hanashi wa omae ni naiThere’s nothing more to talk about with you.
Warui yatsu da to iwaretaThey told me I’m a bad guy,
Doko no dare da ka shiranai yatsu niby someone I don’t even know.
Dakedo ore no kansei wa sonna kantan niBut my spirit isn’t so fragile,
Kowareru hodo yawa ja naithat it would break that easily.
Dakara mou nigenaideSo don’t run away anymore,
Hitori to kodoku wa chigaubeing alone is different from being lonely.
It’s gonna be right!!It’s gonna be right!!
Sukoshi no kizu nara It’s gonna be mineIf it’s just a few scars, they’re gonna be mine.
Tadashisa yori moRather than doing what’s ‘right’,
Jibun ni totte no shinjitsu ga aru no naraif you have a truth that’s yours alone,
It’s timeit’s time.
The role is mineThe role is mine.
Just play what’s in my mindJust play what’s in my mind.
NarabaIf so,
Akuyaku demo iin ja nai?isn’t it fine to be the villain?
Shuyaku wa itsudemo jibunI’m always the main character of my own story.
It’s gonna be right!!It’s gonna be right!!
Yuzurenai mono ga aru naraAs long as there’s something you won’t compromise on,
Kirawarete mo iin ja nai?isn’t it fine to be hated?
Sono kawari doko e demo toberuIn exchange, you can fly anywhere.
It’s gonna be right!!It’s gonna be right!!
Sore ijou no hanashi wa omae ni naiThere’s nothing more to talk about with you.
