Romanised by *LIY So I decided to post the lyrics and the romanisation since I did them, and also because I like the lyrics alot! I think the lyrics are really touching(?) I don't know, but it can be linked to the story in "Orange", I think. But it's like an encouraging song??? Gosh I really have no idea, but I really liked the lyrics and song in general. The drums was great as well.
And one thing super cute about all these VocaloP, when they release CDs, in their special thanks section, they will thank the internet LOL so cute right. Last Note. did that, and Tohma too. I think mikitoP might have did it for one of his singles, but I haven't really read the credits for I Kissed Hatsune Miku.

Marasy also has a YouTube account!
Romanised by *LIY YAY :D I've been waiting for this song to be uploaded since I heard it on Marasy's V-BOX. I like Miku's tuning here =w= I really like Marasy's Vocaloid songs, especially cat's dance. Love Letter to the Girl of my Fantasy is also really great~ And the PV for that was by CHRIS.
This PV is really beautiful! I love the modelling~ especially the beginning when the piano was being put together.
Marasy also added some comments about what this song means in his blog.
I'll just roughly translate what he said on his blog about the song.
"blackbox" refers to the piano. And the song is about liking something but having occasions when you end up hating it.
Marasy loves the piano but because of practice, there has been periods when he hated it. Especially in his third year of high school.
[I totally understand. I really loved the piano when I was young, and could play melodies on the piano. To me, it was really fascinating that you can create music so simply(?), but I really hated practice, because there would be times when I can't get a certain part right, and everywhere else is okay, except that one part and I would get really frustrated. And also, I had a lot of other friends who played/learned the piano and were all exceptionally better than me, so I felt really -meh-]
His parents were pretty enthusiastic(?) about his learning the piano [I bet all the westerners are like "typical Asian parents" lol. But true…] and they were pretty Spartan, always telling him to practise.
After he started uploading on NicoNico and playing his favourite tunes, he began to recall the fun of playing the piano. He slightly felt like he had returned to the time when he first started the piano and was always excited.
Anyway, random useless information: I stopped playing when I was 12, and I'm pretty old [no not really old old but, for piano] now to be continuing piano studies, but yeaaaaah. Actually I don't have a piano at home because it got sold, which was why I stopped. I want to complete Grade 8. That was what I wanted to do since I started, so I will achieve it. (To be honest I want to do diploma, but um. I don't really need to do a diploma….I'm not that musically inclined. I just play the piano, unlike a lot others who play in a symphonic band (as a club activity) or practise more than one instrument. I had a friend who played the piano, violin and the trumpet (band). Actually, I knew quite a few people from my school days who played the piano + violin + one other instrument. Hmm.)
Oh, and I like the mix of the song (: It's by Katmax, and the mastering is by Tom Coyne.
And, "rit" is a musical term which means to slow down (just go google it /hit). And in the original lyrics for the "tataikaite kurikaeshi" part, "kurikaeshi" was actually written in musical notation in the PV. If you go watch the PV, "kurikaeshi" was replaced by the repeat sign. (so yes, kurikaeshi means repetition). Yep. Actually now I'm wondering, what are notes called in Japanese. :/ Like y'know, a crochet and a minim. Or a breve... Hmmm...

Kanji (typed by myself - I think I just spent like 3 times the amount of time I usually spend on doing lyrics)
数年経っても影は消えない
感情ばかりが慕って行く
踞って一人描いていた
Romanised by *LIY And I also typed down the Kanji lyrics myself okay ;_;
* note: Like previously mentioned in Yobanashi Deceive, IA sings in slang, so for the lyrics "bakari", "doko ka", yes they are provided by Jin in the videos written as such but IA sings "bakka" and "dokka".
Anyway, this song is also known as "a story burned into the eyes". It's a super nice song, and when I saw it come out (at 1:30 in the morning, and it's 3:21 now, so I pretty much took one and a half hour to do up everything gosh. My eyes are tired and I am tired and I want to sleep but I must babble about the song and the lyrics and story in the song. /hit.
But I really like the arrangement of the song! It's different from Jin's other songs in the Kagerou Project and I really like it! The intro and bridge were really simple and then after the intro it's like boom the guitar (awesome, awesome guitar) comes in with the drums and bass and it's like Jin's style showing through and somehow it marks a transition kind of thing because the intro was about the past, and then after the music it's the present. I personally don't really enjoy IA being tuned so high, but that is a trademark of Jin. And at the verses, you can hear abit of the sounds from Souzou Forest and I really like it, and there's also hints of Children Record, and I really enjoy that.
And Jin's really awesome at the guitar. I also want to be that good ;_; Yamaha at Plaza Singapura is selling pretty mint electric guitars at 200+bucks. And pretty bass at around the same price (I'm nit picky and I prefer a bass with the pegs at one side because I think that's a trademark design of bass guitars but this one has its pegs on both sides so I was like... I don't really like that... but it's cheap - for Yamaha - and has a nice body. Argh.) But anyway this song is about Shintarou basically, (that's like the most important point and I left it out lol) and as stated in Jin's comments, it's about his regrets that he can't let go and he's like meh existing daily but not living and wants to be in the dream where the girl is still alive but ENE tells him that he won't be able to see tomorrow if he stays like that but he's doesn't care and chose to be alone. But anyway, he manages to let go at the end. And also in the video, Shintarou smiles and everyone was like "Shintarou smiled!!" "Shintarou's smiling face" and comments like that LOL.
But this is a really good song. I'm half-set on buying Mekaku City Records just because of this song. Srsly.
I bought the first novel but I'm not even a quarter done on it lol. I'm lazy like that lol plus it's kind of.... draggy? Jin adds way too much description in the novel lol. And he loves using weird obscure Kanji ==" And he loves using Kanji in general srsly.
Oh, and I was expecting to see covers being uploaded, but there's no karaoke for this song, so I guess rankings will be peaceful this time round lol. [update: yeah Jin uploaded the instru the next day. The instru sounds really pretty!]
And Shidu is getting so good at videos really. When I watched the PV I was blown away. It was really well done. (But the lyrics were so hard to read I had to pause at awkward moments to catch them @_@)
Okeh. I'm beat. It's 3:30. I have to sleep. Goodnight.
Apathetic Coup D'etat / 無気力クーデター (MUKIRYOKU KUU DETAA) [Mukiryoku translates into "lassitude", which I think fits the song/Akama Yuuto's character better, but lassitude is a noun with no adjectival form... Well, I guess I can say Coup D'etat of Lassitude but. I think it's weird. Well whatever~ NND will translate the title, probably. /hit I don't know because I browse NND in Japanese.]

Welcome to another episode of "Liy's random babbles"~ /hit. I really like this style of Last Note.'s! I like his songs that have a distinct keyboard/piano in it =w= like Ren'ai Yuusha! And the song, although it's in a fast tempo, somehow I still get a feeling of sadness from the song! (Probably the key the song is in. I learnt that minor scale tends to sound more solemn and subdued, or sad) And 鳥肌やばーーーーーい the drums sound really solid in here. I like that kind of drum sound. And the bass is by my favourite IROJIROOOOO~ before I started following other ensousha(?) on NND I was watching Irojiro/Meriken's videos. I think his bass-playing is super zai.
But anyway, this song is really sad, which I'm sure you can tell if you watch the PV (comment-off recommended). I think Yuuto depends on acting to get by, and I think he's trying to be like his brother?? ahh I'm sorry it's like 12 midnight here and I planned to sleep early then I noticed that this song was uploaded so... and this song is really hard I don't know how to read 90% of the Kanji here. I mean, I can read them (in other forms) and know their meaning but... maybe it's just my brain not working. Anyway, I'll get around to understanding the song better like tomorrow or something.
Really excited for the rest of the songs in the series to be released!

-Video/Audio can be found on YT
Romanised by *LIY Lol. I played this song on my iTunes, and after this song ended, kemu's Life Reset Button played... The synth sounds actually match each other lol. Okay random.
But anyway, this song is a total Sarumi song plx. Not that I ship Sarumi like that (I just want them to be friends again). But this song is actually really sad. And lonely. And then at the end it becomes warped. (Like how Fushimi became, omg brb crying) Ahhhh Yata no baka! *wails* But Fushimi never told Misaki his feelings at all (like maybe he didn't want to join Homra but didn't tell Misaki that, or that he doesn't like it that Misaki is ignoring him/getting closer to everyone/fawning over Mikoto, and why he really wanted to leave, but in the end instead of seeking Misaki's love (which he thinks he will never get, since it's all to Homra and Mikoto) he looks for Misaki's hate instead. Omg. Why am I doing a character evaluation now. (I swear I can do a Lit essay on this, omg my priorities.) Oh wait my sentence structure totally got screwed up OTL. But anyway, Fushimi never told Misaki how he felt but sort-of expected Misaki to understand because they've been together for so long but it's not like Misaki can, you know? So somehow I think Fushimi is also at fault here, if you look at it objectively. (And I actually really understand this because I always expect my close friends to understand me well enough, but they don't. And then I get pissed off at them, and then later I'm like, what did I expect, if I don't say anything how are they gonna understand me. But then actually I don't want to say anything because I don't wanna get hated- omg. Please don't tell me Fushimi actually endured all that because he knows how important Homra is to Misaki and the bonds and all that and even though he really hates it he doesn't say anything because he doesn't want to get thrown away by Misaki?! D: But in the end his feelings become twisted and he ends up seeking Misaki's hate. And Misaki obviously hates him because he still cares for Fushimi, doesn't he?! I MEAN HE HASN'T EVEN DELETED SARU'S NUMBER FROM HIS PDA-WATCH! And you can't hate without having loved the person. Maybe that's what Fushimi wants to confirm. Which is why he gets super irritated when Misaki ignores him and actually goes on trying to provoke Misaki (ref Ep5, when they bump into each other at Ashinaka) Wow. Okay I should totally shut up.
OH AND side note: Lyrics from the source read "katamukeru" for the 5th line (earphone cord one) but Miyano Mamoru sings "katamuku" so I just left the romaji as "katamuku" but the Kanji is "katamukeru". And the line breaking for the romaji lyrics is different from the kanji.

Romanised by *LIY YAY :D I've been waiting for this song to be uploaded since I heard it on Marasy's V-BOX. I like Miku's tuning here =w= I really like Marasy's Vocaloid songs, especially cat's dance. Love Letter to the Girl of my Fantasy is also really great~ And the PV for that was by CHRIS.
This PV is really beautiful! I love the modelling~ especially the beginning when the piano was being put together.
Marasy also added some comments about what this song means in his blog.
I'll just roughly translate what he said on his blog about the song.
"blackbox" refers to the piano. And the song is about liking something but having occasions when you end up hating it.
Marasy loves the piano but because of practice, there has been periods when he hated it. Especially in his third year of high school.
[I totally understand. I really loved the piano when I was young, and could play melodies on the piano. To me, it was really fascinating that you can create music so simply(?), but I really hated practice, because there would be times when I can't get a certain part right, and everywhere else is okay, except that one part and I would get really frustrated. And also, I had a lot of other friends who played/learned the piano and were all exceptionally better than me, so I felt really -meh-]
His parents were pretty enthusiastic(?) about his learning the piano [I bet all the westerners are like "typical Asian parents" lol. But true…] and they were pretty Spartan, always telling him to practise.
After he started uploading on NicoNico and playing his favourite tunes, he began to recall the fun of playing the piano. He slightly felt like he had returned to the time when he first started the piano and was always excited.
Anyway, random useless information: I stopped playing when I was 12, and I'm pretty old [no not really old old but, for piano] now to be continuing piano studies, but yeaaaaah. Actually I don't have a piano at home because it got sold, which was why I stopped. I want to complete Grade 8. That was what I wanted to do since I started, so I will achieve it. (To be honest I want to do diploma, but um. I don't really need to do a diploma….I'm not that musically inclined. I just play the piano, unlike a lot others who play in a symphonic band (as a club activity) or practise more than one instrument. I had a friend who played the piano, violin and the trumpet (band). Actually, I knew quite a few people from my school days who played the piano + violin + one other instrument. Hmm.)
Oh, and I like the mix of the song (: It's by Katmax, and the mastering is by Tom Coyne.
And, "rit" is a musical term which means to slow down (just go google it /hit). And in the original lyrics for the "tataikaite kurikaeshi" part, "kurikaeshi" was actually written in musical notation in the PV. If you go watch the PV, "kurikaeshi" was replaced by the repeat sign. (so yes, kurikaeshi means repetition). Yep. Actually now I'm wondering, what are notes called in Japanese. :/ Like y'know, a crochet and a minim. Or a breve... Hmmm...

Kanji (typed by myself - I think I just spent like 3 times the amount of time I usually spend on doing lyrics)
数年経っても影は消えない
感情ばかりが慕って行く
踞って一人描いていた
Romanised by *LIY And I also typed down the Kanji lyrics myself okay ;_;
* note: Like previously mentioned in Yobanashi Deceive, IA sings in slang, so for the lyrics "bakari", "doko ka", yes they are provided by Jin in the videos written as such but IA sings "bakka" and "dokka".
Anyway, this song is also known as "a story burned into the eyes". It's a super nice song, and when I saw it come out (at 1:30 in the morning, and it's 3:21 now, so I pretty much took one and a half hour to do up everything gosh. My eyes are tired and I am tired and I want to sleep but I must babble about the song and the lyrics and story in the song. /hit.
But I really like the arrangement of the song! It's different from Jin's other songs in the Kagerou Project and I really like it! The intro and bridge were really simple and then after the intro it's like boom the guitar (awesome, awesome guitar) comes in with the drums and bass and it's like Jin's style showing through and somehow it marks a transition kind of thing because the intro was about the past, and then after the music it's the present. I personally don't really enjoy IA being tuned so high, but that is a trademark of Jin. And at the verses, you can hear abit of the sounds from Souzou Forest and I really like it, and there's also hints of Children Record, and I really enjoy that.
And Jin's really awesome at the guitar. I also want to be that good ;_; Yamaha at Plaza Singapura is selling pretty mint electric guitars at 200+bucks. And pretty bass at around the same price (I'm nit picky and I prefer a bass with the pegs at one side because I think that's a trademark design of bass guitars but this one has its pegs on both sides so I was like... I don't really like that... but it's cheap - for Yamaha - and has a nice body. Argh.) But anyway this song is about Shintarou basically, (that's like the most important point and I left it out lol) and as stated in Jin's comments, it's about his regrets that he can't let go and he's like meh existing daily but not living and wants to be in the dream where the girl is still alive but ENE tells him that he won't be able to see tomorrow if he stays like that but he's doesn't care and chose to be alone. But anyway, he manages to let go at the end. And also in the video, Shintarou smiles and everyone was like "Shintarou smiled!!" "Shintarou's smiling face" and comments like that LOL.
But this is a really good song. I'm half-set on buying Mekaku City Records just because of this song. Srsly.
I bought the first novel but I'm not even a quarter done on it lol. I'm lazy like that lol plus it's kind of.... draggy? Jin adds way too much description in the novel lol. And he loves using weird obscure Kanji ==" And he loves using Kanji in general srsly.
Oh, and I was expecting to see covers being uploaded, but there's no karaoke for this song, so I guess rankings will be peaceful this time round lol. [update: yeah Jin uploaded the instru the next day. The instru sounds really pretty!]
And Shidu is getting so good at videos really. When I watched the PV I was blown away. It was really well done. (But the lyrics were so hard to read I had to pause at awkward moments to catch them @_@)
Okeh. I'm beat. It's 3:30. I have to sleep. Goodnight.
Apathetic Coup D'etat / 無気力クーデター (MUKIRYOKU KUU DETAA) [Mukiryoku translates into "lassitude", which I think fits the song/Akama Yuuto's character better, but lassitude is a noun with no adjectival form... Well, I guess I can say Coup D'etat of Lassitude but. I think it's weird. Well whatever~ NND will translate the title, probably. /hit I don't know because I browse NND in Japanese.]

Welcome to another episode of "Liy's random babbles"~ /hit. I really like this style of Last Note.'s! I like his songs that have a distinct keyboard/piano in it =w= like Ren'ai Yuusha! And the song, although it's in a fast tempo, somehow I still get a feeling of sadness from the song! (Probably the key the song is in. I learnt that minor scale tends to sound more solemn and subdued, or sad) And 鳥肌やばーーーーーい the drums sound really solid in here. I like that kind of drum sound. And the bass is by my favourite IROJIROOOOO~ before I started following other ensousha(?) on NND I was watching Irojiro/Meriken's videos. I think his bass-playing is super zai.
But anyway, this song is really sad, which I'm sure you can tell if you watch the PV (comment-off recommended). I think Yuuto depends on acting to get by, and I think he's trying to be like his brother?? ahh I'm sorry it's like 12 midnight here and I planned to sleep early then I noticed that this song was uploaded so... and this song is really hard I don't know how to read 90% of the Kanji here. I mean, I can read them (in other forms) and know their meaning but... maybe it's just my brain not working. Anyway, I'll get around to understanding the song better like tomorrow or something.
Really excited for the rest of the songs in the series to be released!

-Video/Audio can be found on YT
Romanised by *LIY Lol. I played this song on my iTunes, and after this song ended, kemu's Life Reset Button played... The synth sounds actually match each other lol. Okay random.
But anyway, this song is a total Sarumi song plx. Not that I ship Sarumi like that (I just want them to be friends again). But this song is actually really sad. And lonely. And then at the end it becomes warped. (Like how Fushimi became, omg brb crying) Ahhhh Yata no baka! *wails* But Fushimi never told Misaki his feelings at all (like maybe he didn't want to join Homra but didn't tell Misaki that, or that he doesn't like it that Misaki is ignoring him/getting closer to everyone/fawning over Mikoto, and why he really wanted to leave, but in the end instead of seeking Misaki's love (which he thinks he will never get, since it's all to Homra and Mikoto) he looks for Misaki's hate instead. Omg. Why am I doing a character evaluation now. (I swear I can do a Lit essay on this, omg my priorities.) Oh wait my sentence structure totally got screwed up OTL. But anyway, Fushimi never told Misaki how he felt but sort-of expected Misaki to understand because they've been together for so long but it's not like Misaki can, you know? So somehow I think Fushimi is also at fault here, if you look at it objectively. (And I actually really understand this because I always expect my close friends to understand me well enough, but they don't. And then I get pissed off at them, and then later I'm like, what did I expect, if I don't say anything how are they gonna understand me. But then actually I don't want to say anything because I don't wanna get hated- omg. Please don't tell me Fushimi actually endured all that because he knows how important Homra is to Misaki and the bonds and all that and even though he really hates it he doesn't say anything because he doesn't want to get thrown away by Misaki?! D: But in the end his feelings become twisted and he ends up seeking Misaki's hate. And Misaki obviously hates him because he still cares for Fushimi, doesn't he?! I MEAN HE HASN'T EVEN DELETED SARU'S NUMBER FROM HIS PDA-WATCH! And you can't hate without having loved the person. Maybe that's what Fushimi wants to confirm. Which is why he gets super irritated when Misaki ignores him and actually goes on trying to provoke Misaki (ref Ep5, when they bump into each other at Ashinaka) Wow. Okay I should totally shut up.
OH AND side note: Lyrics from the source read "katamukeru" for the 5th line (earphone cord one) but Miyano Mamoru sings "katamuku" so I just left the romaji as "katamuku" but the Kanji is "katamukeru". And the line breaking for the romaji lyrics is different from the kanji.
