All songs were romajized and/or translated by Rebecca/hanak0toba.
Some of the translations were originally from my old LiveJournal, DistorteDaytime, over 10 years ago; I may or may not redo some of them in the future since I feel like I’ve gotten a lot better since then. When I redo the translations, I’ll note that they’ve been updated.
If you’re interested in using my translations somewhere (captioning a video, etc.), please ask / let me know first and credit the source by linking back here.
Please don’t re-post my translations to other lyrics sites/databases.
All songs they have released thus far have been romajized and translated.
Whenever a new release happens, I’m planning on doing those songs as well, and I may even go back and re-translate some of the songs I originally did ten years or so ago. If you want to be alerted when that happens, feel free to subscribe. I have since started adding news and other updates about the band to the site; feel free to check them out under News & Reports and Interviews.
Finally, I’m still learning and am NOT fluent in Japanese, so I’m sure there are errors. Apologies in advance!
- Songs with a [t] after them have been translated into English. (This does not include songs that were originally written entirely in English by Ruki; those songs are linked under the release on which they appeared.)
- Songs with a [p] also include an embedded official PV/music video. I’ve tried to obtain PVs from their official YouTube channel when possible and add subtitles to them; when I couldn’t, I just found the best-quality version available, so some are better than others. Please note that in some cases, the PV may be for one version of the song and the lyrics for another, specifically where the TRACES VOL.2 songs are concerned. *As of 2021’s release of BLINDING HOPE, I no longer have access to the software to subtitle videos, so I will only be embedding them from the official YouTube channel.
- Songs with an [x] contain explicit English lyrics (more on that below.)
NOTE: Some songs have been tagged as containing #explicit-lyrics; Ruki loves to use English (aka “Engrish;” LOL, love you Ruki) in his lyrics, and he seems to be quite fond of “colorful language” in particular. I can’t fault him for that because I’ve been known to let fly on occasion (though I admit I’ve never called someone a “skanky waster,” but that’s beside the point). Basically, anything with curse words in English or explicit/implied sexual- or drug-related content got this tag. If I tagged it because of suggested stuff, but there’s nothing overtly explicit, I tried to note it as well.
These songs are indicated with an [x] on this page.
(Side note, I do sometimes swear in my translator notes – when warranted, such as part of a phrase or explanation; not usually gratuitously – but I limit it to songs that already have the explicit tag. I censor words in my notes as necessary on non-explicit posts.)
Songs by Release:
- This contains their entire discography, to my knowledge. There are a few covers/collaborations I am not planning on translating as they are not Ruki’s lyrics/the band’s songs, but I included them in the discography for sake of completeness.
- If a song title is listed in grey below, the track is instrumental or there are no official lyrics.
- Some songs appear on multiple releases (for example single + album, or album + EP); if the lyrics were the same on all release versions, I just made one page and tagged it with all releases it appeared on, so don’t freak if the cover art isn’t what you were expecting to see when you click a song title.
- There are four songs that I know of that have multiple versions because the lyrics were changed when the song was included on later releases. Three of these are on the TRACES VOL.2 compilation album (CALM ENVY, Cassis, and Taion) and the fourth is a song originally recorded before Kai joined the band (WAIFU). I put a note after each title to indicate which version of the lyrics is linked on which release. These notes are also included in the master list of translations. Any PVs for those songs use the original lyrics, not the updated TRACES VOL.2 lyrics.
