Romaji and English translation of the song PLEDGE from the album TOXIC, the single PLEDGE, and the compilation album TRACES VOL.2 BALLAD BEST by the GazettE.
The lyrics don’t appear to have been changed when they re-recorded the original song for TRACES VOL.2.
PLEDGE was used as the commercial theme song advertising a 2010 GEM CEREY / Ruki of the GazettE jewelry collaboration.
Romaji and English translation of the song reila from the single reila and the compilation albums TRACES BEST OF 2005-2009 and TRACES VOL.2 BALLAD BEST by the GazettE.
There was an extra verse added to the end when they re-recorded the original song for TRACES VOL.2. This verse has now been translated; the original version from reila simply ends after “Surely tomorrow will be the day you come home, right?” (One line was also omitted from the original lyrics; I kept it but did a strikethrough on it.) I decided against making a separate page for the reila single version of the song since nothing else was changed in the lyrics.
Romaji and English translation of the song Cassis from the album NIL, the single Cassis, and the compilation albums TRACES BEST OF 2005-2009 and TRACES VOL.2 BALLAD BEST by the GazettE.
This song was originally released on the album NIL (and a few other releases) with slightly different lyrics, which can also be heard in the PV. Besides Ruki’s obvious correction/update of his original English parts of the song, the rest of the lyrics don’t appear to have been changed when they re-recorded the original song for TRACES VOL.2.
This is the TRACES VOL.2 version of the lyrics, NOT the original version.
Romaji and English translation of the song 体温 (Taion) from the album NIL and the compilation album TRACES VOL.2 BALLAD BEST by the GazettE.
This is the TRACES VOL.2 version of the lyrics, NOT the original version.
I gave this the explicit tag because of sexual undertones, but there’s nothing overtly explicit in it.
Romaji and English translation of the song 紅蓮 (Guren) from the album DIM, the single Guren, and the compilation albums TRACES BEST OF 2005-2009 and TRACES VOL.2 BALLAD BEST by the GazettE.
Guren was used as the theme song for a TV commercial for a GEM CEREY / GazettE jewelry collaboration.
The lyrics don’t appear to have been changed when they re-recorded the original song for TRACES VOL.2.
Romaji and English translation of the song 彼詩 (Kareuta) from the album TRACES VOL.2 BALLAD BEST (originally appearing on the photobook / bonus track release [Verwelktes Gedicht]) by the GazettE.
The lyrics don’t appear to have been changed when they re-recorded the original song for TRACES VOL.2.
