Decided to avoid first person this time because of all the imperative phrases everywhere, and it works. Although all the Dolls in Pseudo Paradise songs are great, Dichromatic Butterfly is one of my favourites, and this arrangement really lives up to it. MasKaleido is easily my favourite Sound Holic member at this point, though Linjin’s “PAIN DIED AGAIN” and 709 sec.’s “PERFECT BELIEVER” from this album are also growing on me.
Notes: Although 「いつの日も」 translates more accurately to “No matter which day,” I went with “everyday” to save space.

< Drive away >
light of the sunrise 東の空 朝焼け広がる彼方
We get the power 大地の鼓動 躯中響き渡る
誰よりも獅子の如く いかなる時も屈しない 強き信念に立て
light of the sunrise higashi no sora asayake hirogaru kanata
We get the power daichi no kodou karada juu hibiki wataru
dare yori mo shishi no gotoku ika naru toki mo kusshinai tsuyoki shinnen ni tate
The light of the sunrise spreads through the far eastern sky
We get the power, the pulse of the earth echoes through our bodies
More lion-like than anyone else, stand by your strong beliefs that will never bend
宇宙が刻む律動に 呼吸合わせたら
諸天の神が動き出す
三世十方滾るエナジー 邪悪を Never forgive
uchuu ga kizamu ritsudou ni kokyuu awasetara
shoten no kami ga ugoki dasu
sanzejuppou tagiru enajii jaaku o Never forgive
Once you sync your breath to the rhythm of the universe
the gods of the heavens will stir
The seething energy from all of time and space will never forgive evil
Pray to the universe 祈りは時空を超えて
来世に届くはずさ 必ずこの手で Change the world
Dancing like butterfly 蓮華の花に魅せられ

Pray to the universe, prayers transcend space and time
They should reach the afterlife, with our hands we’ll definitely change the world
Dancing like a butterfly, enchanted by the lotus flower
Oh life, spread your wings and dance like a butterfly
The roll of thunder 怒りの声 雷鳴轟く彼方
Power of nature 恵みの雨 万物に降り注いだ
いつの日も疾風の如く いかなる壁も乗り越えて 清き信念を持て

Power of nature megumi no ame banbutsu ni furi sosoida
itsu no hi mo kaze no gotoku ika naru kabe mo nori koete kiyoki shinnen o mote
The roll of thunder, a voice of rage, roars in the distance
The power of nature, a blessed rain, downpoured on all
Like a gust of wind every day, cross whatever wall is in your way and hold your pure beliefs
全てに宿った奇跡を 信じた瞬間
数多の神は従って
三千世界燃えるエモーション 無限に Blazing away
subete ni yadotta kiseki o shinjita shunkan
amata no kami wa shigatte
sanzensekai moeru emooshon mugen ni Blazing away
The moment you believe in the miracles embedded in all
a myriad of gods will follow you
and the entire universe will burn in emotion, infinitely blazing away
Fly to the universe 願いは時代を超えて
過去の傷も癒すさ 自在にこの手で Catch the dream

Fly to the universe, wishes transcend the era
They’ll even heal past wounds, with our hands we’ll freely catch the dream
