At the Speed of Dark… | 闇のスピードで…

I want to say this is my favourite AdamKadmon arrangement from this event, though 哀月×Dolls is also really good. An all-time favourite. The whole Forest album was great overall though (except for poisonous paradox). I love Kamiyashiro’s lyrics. The usage of ellipses is outstanding and really adds to that emo feeling. I love it. I also came up with a dumb Japanese pun. たまりの声はたまらない

切ない風に スピードで消されてゆく…サヨナラ…
最果て空虚…理想 もう…戻れはしない
もう…闇の中…

setsunai kaze ni supiido de kesarete yuku… sayonara…
saihate kuukyo… risou mou… modore wa shinai
sou… yami no naka…

Being wiped away by the painful wind at this speed… it’s goodbye…
At the emptiness of the furthest ends… my ideals are… already far too gone
Already… in the dark…

雨…また…夢…?

ame… mata… yume…?

Rain… again… a dream…?

涙だけ悲しみさえも
止まらないから…止まらないから…
手首の涙を集めて
闇に溶け込むの…

namida dake kanashimi sae mo
tomaranai kara… tomaranai kara…
tekubi no namida o atsumete
yami ni toke komu no…

Even the sadness won’t stop after all,
with each teardrop… with each teardrop…
Gathering the tears on my wrist,
I’m going to melt into the dark…

セツナイ雨の中 セツナイ夢の中
雁字搦めのまま 塞いだ…
セツナイ雨の中 ミエナイキミの中
眼球 手を添えた…

setsunai ame no naka setsunai yume no naka
ganjigarame no mama fusaida…
setsunai ame no naka mienai kimi no naka
gankyuu te o soeta…

In the painful rain, in a painful dream
as I’m bound head to foot, blocked off…
In the painful rain, in you, invisible,
I put my hands to my eyes…

痛みが増して スピードは腐乱してく サヨナラ…
最果て空虚…理想 現実逃避 もう…帰れない…

itami ga mashite supiido wa furan shiteku sayonara…
saihate kuukyo… risou genjitsu touhi mou… kaerenai…

The pain increases and the speed decomposes, goodbye…
At emptiness of the furthest ends… my ideals escape from reality… already unable to return

雨…正…夢…?

ame… masa… yume…?

Rain… Certainly… a dream…?

キミと居たオモイデさえも
壊せないから…壊せないから…
このまま涙を集めて
闇に紛れるの…

kimi to ita omoide sae mo
kowasenai kara… kowasenai kara…
kono mama namida o atsumete
yami ni magireru no…

Even the memories where I was with you
can’t be destroyed after all… can’t be destroyed after all…
Gathering the tears like this,
I’m going to slip into the dark…

セツナイ雨の中 セツナイ夢の中
雁字搦めのまま 塞いだ…
セツナイ雨の中 ミエナイキミの中
オモイデ 隠してた…

setsunai ame no naka setsunai yume no naka
ganjigarame no mama fusaida…
setsunai ame no naka mienai kimi no naka
omoide kakushiteta…

In the painful rain, in a painful dream
as I’m bound head to foot, blocked off…
In the painful rain, in you, invisible,
I hid my memories…

アレカラ雨の中…ミエナイキミの中
ガラスのココロで 壊した…
セツナイ雨の中 セツナイキミの中
夢叶う?…また…イツカ…?

are kara ame no naka… mienai kimi no naka
garasu no kokoro de kowashita…
setsunai ame no naka setsunai kimi no naka
yume kanau?… mata… itsu ka…?

In the rain since then… In you, invisible
I destroyed with my glass heart…
In the painful rain, in you, painful
will my dream come?… Maybe… another day…?

闇の音色で…
闇のスピードで…

yami no neiro de…
yami no supiido de…

With the sound of dark…
At the speed of dark…

Dr. sorrow cat

This one has some lines that are a bit hard to interpret. I really love this album though. It’s almost as good as Train. The title of this song is amazing too. One of my all time favourites. Even better than “Tokyo Sad Express.” I still need the lyrics for 闇のスピードで… and Deep forest【メリー】 though, my other favourite tracks from this album.

lalala…

優しい風が頬を霞める 12番街の片隅にいて
淡い夢の中に居たいと 願い続けては
キミを探している…

yasashii kaze ga hoho o kasumeru juunibangai no katasumi ni ite
awai yume no naka ni itai to negai tsudzukete wa
kimi o sagashiteiru…

The gentle wind brushes against my cheek in the corner of 12th street
Continuing to wish to be in a faint dream,
I search for you…

夜空の中で飛んでいく 温もりという 涙よ…
巻き戻してゆく memory 届かないまま
stay with love…

yozora no naka de tonde ku nukumori to iu namida yo
maki modoshite yuku memory todokanai mama
stay with love…

The tears known as warmth fly through the night sky
As I’m unable to reach my rewinding memory,
stay with love…

雨に打たれた 仔猫みたいに 霧雨の中 鳴いてた
いつか見た夢 いつか見たキミ 背中合わせ
sorrow 今…

ame ni utareta koneko mitai ni kirisame no naka naiteta
itsu ka mita yume itsu ka mita kimi senaka awase sou ima

Like a kitten struck by the rain, in the drizzle I was crying
A dream I saw one day, you who I saw one day, back to back together,
in sorrow now…

哀しい夢が頬を流して 12番街のまだ隅にいて
淡い夢の中に居たいよ すぐ傍に居てと
夜を見つめている…

kanashii yume ga hoho o nagashite juunibangai no mada sumi ni ite
amai yume no naka ni itai yo sugu soba ni ite to yoru o mitsumeteiru

A sad dream runs down my cheek, still in the corner of 12th street
“I want to be in a faint dream, hurry to my side,”
I gaze at the night…

途切れてゆく 陽炎 温もりと言う 魔物で…
巻き戻してゆく memory 届かないまま
stay with love…

to girete yuku kagerou wa nukumori to iu mamono de
maki modoshite yuku memory todokanai mama
stay with love

The heat hazes are sporadic with the monster known as warmth…
As I’m unable to reach my rewinding memory,
stay with love…

どうして 誰も 気付かないのか 霧雨の中 鳴いてた
誰か答えて 誰か教えて 背中合わせ キミ まだ…

doushite dare mo kidzukanai no ka kirisame no naka naiteta
dare ka kotaete dare ka oshiete senaka awase kimi mada

Why doesn’t anyone notice? In the drizzle I was crying
Somebody respond, somebody tell me, back to back with you, still…

Moonlit Night of Love | 恋月夜

I’m glad AdamKadmon is making more original songs. They’re good. Not really a fan of the noise that cuts in at the 5th stanza though. Overall, I don’t think this album was as strong as Train, lyrically or arrangement wise, but I’m still a fan of them.

Notes: またあなた裏切る恋夜 is vague on the subject and object of the verb, so I left it vague in my translation.

恋しくて 苦しくて
この夜を見つめてたくて
濡れた髪を撫でながら
またあなた裏切る恋夜

koishikute kurushikute
kono yoru o mitsumetetakute
nureta kami o nade nagara
mata anata uragiru koi yo

Missing you, in pain,
wanting to keep gazing into the night
while brushing my wet hair,
it’s another romantic night filled with betrayal

重なり合ったときに 初めて
結ばれる気がしてた 恋多き夜

kasanari atta toki ni hajimete
musubareru ki ga shiteta koi ooki yo

When we came together, I felt for the first time
like we were united as one – a night of many loves

その唇にはなぜ届いてるのに
なぜか心には届かない

sono kuchibiru ni wa naze todoiteru noni
naze ka kokoro ni wa todokanai

Why is it that I’ve reached your lips,
yet for some reason I can’t reach your heart?

もうあきらめそうになる
だけど傍にいてよ
止めた煙草に今
火をつけて泣いてた

mou akiramesou ni naru
dakedo soba ni ite yo
yameta tabako ni ima
hi o tsukete naiteta

I feel like just giving up already
but stay with me
Now I’ve lit up
the cigarettes I quit, and wept

恋しくて 苦しくて 恋しくて
恋しくて 苦しくて
またあなた裏切る恋夜

koishikute kurushikute koishikute
koishikute kurushikute
mata anata uragiru koi yo

Missing you, in pain, missing you
Missing you, in pain,
it’s another romantic night filled with betrayal

ゆらゆら揺れる陽炎のように
シーツの波を照らす 恋月夜

yura yura yureru kagerou no you ni
shiitsu no nami o terasu koi tsukiyo

Slowly, slowly swaying, like a heat haze
the romantic moonlit night shines on the waves in the sheets

その唇にはなぜ届いてるのに
なぜか心には届かない

sono kuchibiru ni wa naze todoiteru noni
naze ka kokoro ni wa todokanai

Why is it that I’ve reached your lips,
yet for some reason I can’t reach your heart?

もう一度だけでいいから
もっと傍にきてよ
今夜 淡い夢夜
あなたと見させて

mou ichido dake de ii kara
motto soba ni kite yo
konya awai yume yo
anata to misasete

Just one more time is fine, so please
come closer to me
Tonight, let me see a night
of fleeting dreams with you

Starlight Train

An AdamKadmon original. This song has some really good lines, but I’m loving the entire album in general.

大切な想い出をBagに詰めて
ひとり飛び乗る Midnight Train
行く先は どこまでも 遠い銀河
揺れる星を見ながら…

taisetsu na omoide o Bag ni tsumete
hitori tobi noru Midnight Train
yukusaki wa doko made mo tooi ginga
yureru hoshi o minagara…

Putting all my important memories into my bag,
all alone I jump aboard the midnight train
My destination is an ever far galaxy
while looking at the flickering stars…

例えばどこかで 君のこと 忘れる時が来ても
ふたりで見上げた 星空を観れば 想い出すから…

tatoeba doko ka de kimi no koto wasureru toki ga kitemo
futari de mi ageta hoshizora o mireba omoi dasu kara…

Even if a time when I forget about you comes,
as long as I watch the starry sky we both looked up at, I’ll remember again…

駆けてゆく Starlight Train, with love
止まらずに 夢を目指すよ
いつかまた 君と云う
-星空に逢いたいな-

kakete yuku Starlight Train, with love
tomarazu ni yume o mezasu yo
itsu ka mata kimi to iu
-hoshizora ni aitai na-

Racing along, the starlight train, with love
Without braking, heading for dreams
Someday I really want to see again
-the starry sky called you-

君にも見せたい illumination
街は綺麗な Midnight Angel
過ぎてく景色を見つめながら
頬を転がる涙…

kimi ni mo misetai illumination
machi wa kirei na Midnight Angel
sugite ku keshiki o mitsumenagara
hoo o korogaru namida…

I also want to show you the illumination
The street is like a pretty midnight angel
While gazing at the scenery passing by
a tear rolls down my cheek…

逢いたい…逢えない さよならは今も 胸を痛めて
開いた記憶のPocketに 君と涙を詰めた…

aitai… aenai sayonara wa ima mo mune o itamete
hiraita kioku no Pocket ni kimi to namida o tsumeta…

I want to see you… but I can’t… The goodbye still hurts my heart
In my opened pocket of memories, I put in you and my tears…

駆けてゆく Starlight Train, with heart
流れてる ふたりのMelodies
あの日観た 君と云う
-星の中を走ってく-

kakete yuku Starlight Train, with heart
nagareteru futari no Melodies
ano hi mita kimi to iu
-hoshi no naka o hashitte ku-

Racing along, the starlight train, with heart
Flowing out, our melodies
Running through the star
-called you, that I watched that day-

繋いだ 君との 手の温もりを
今でも…今でも、大切にしてるよ…
消えないで 忘れないで 温もりの数の優しさが胸にある

tsunaida kimi to no te no nukumori o
ima demo… ima demo, taisetsu ni shiteru yo…
kienai de wasurenai de nukumori no kazu no yasashisa ga koko ni aru

The warmth when we held our hands
I’m still… still cherishing dearly…
Don’t disappear and don’t forget… for each bit of warmth, there’s kindness here, in my heart

駆け抜ける Starlight Train, with love
止まらずに 夢を目指すよ
いつかまた 君と云う
-星空に逢えるまで-

kake nukeru Starlight Train, with love
tomarazu ni yume o mezasu yo
itsu ka mata kimi to iu
-hoshizora ni aeru made-

Racing on through, the starlight train, with love
Without braking, heading for dreams
Until someday I can see again
-the starry sky called you-

「逢えるまで…」

「aeru made…」

“Until then…”
