I hate listening to music when I'm studying or reading, cuz it distracts me and I would end up just listening to the music, not doing anything else. XD
 
...but when I draw or paint I like to listen to whatever kind of music I imagine would fit the atmosphere/mood of the picture in my head that I'm trying to get onto paper. Usually it's either some death metal or extreme metal, or some dark post-punk / goth-like music.

Wish

I wish forever...

１月の雪空
白い吐息がほら
貴方を求めてる
今でも

あの約束の丘で今も待ってるよ
まだ受け入れる事が 僕はできないから･･･

二人の思い出の
写真が捨てられない
辛いはずなのにね
何故かな･･･

なぜサヨナラも言わず消えてしまったの？
もう戻れないあの頃へは永遠に･･･

嗚呼 貴方と夢をいつまでも
見続けられたら･･･
嗚呼 叶わないけど
貴方と幸せもう一度･･･

嗚呼 貴方と夢をいつまでも
見続けられたら･･･
嗚呼 叶わないけど
貴方と幸せをまた･･･

嗚呼 貴方は此処にもういない
わかっているけど
嗚呼 気付けばほら
隣にまだ貴方がいる気がして

I wish forever...

Wish

I wish forever...

A snowy sky in January
Look, my white sigh
Longing for you
Still
 
Waiting for you on that hill where we promised even now
Because I'm still not able to accept it...

Mementos of being together
I can't throw the photographs away
Although it must hurt, right?
I wonder why...

Why did you disappear without saying goodbye?
Those days I can't return to anymore will always...

Ah, If I could stay
In this dream with you forever
Ah, although it won't come true
I want to be happy with you once more...

Ah, If I could stay
In this dream with you forever
Ah, although it won't come true
I want to be happy with you again...

Ah, you are not here anymore
I know that, but
Ah, Look, when I'm aware
I still feel like you're next to me...

I wish you forever...
I need you forever...
And ever...

In the "If I could stay/ in this dream with you forever"-part I had to turn the ligns around to make the translation work.
Otherwise it would have been "This dream with you forever/ If I could continue dreaming it" and that doesn't sound nice at all.
This text is totally similar to '悲しみは巡りゆく季節と眠る哀', don't you think so?

毒-ドク-

Poison

With cuisine full of my pent-up resentment
I'll elliminaiaiyate you
Fight poison with more poison, right?
I haiyaiyate you

I'll kill you! Let's kill you!
Disappear! I'll make you disappear!
Hurry up and die
Prepared in resentment
My speciality cuisine
Hurry up and eat it! Eat.

I'm a poisoner

There...your meal...Hey
My full course dinner
I was thinking of you
And prepared a lot
Chew well, okay? Hey
While you might not taste anything
How do you like the flavour?
Your last supper's

Aconite Salad
Hydrochloric acid soup
Poisonous fish meuniere marine
Decayed beef steak
The palate cleanser is sweet
A lethal dose of dessert
Eat up, enjoy your meal!
My supreme full course dinner

"Fight poison with more poison." appears to be a proverb. An English version is "Set a thief to catch a thief."
I apologize for the "haiyaiyate" parts. Tell me if you find a more elegant way to include the sound words. orz
...This text reminds me a lot of Dir en grey's 'filth'. (I think it was 'filth'.)

Demon sutra -Deformity-
 
A stifled dying voice made into a sacrifice
 
"Killed for the sin of being shaped like a demon."
 
That deformed body I was born in
Ts to blame for conjuring disaster I was told...
 
Those tears I shed were red
Breaking a voicelessly fluttering life
 
Celebrating with a burning altar
Into the flames of prayer...
 
Cutting into me...
Cutting into this body...
 
Kill me...
 
If you can't forgive...
 
Just...
 
Kill...
 
Why...
 
Won't you kill me...
 
Hurry...
 
Finish it...
 
Made into a sacrifice

奇形/Kikei means deformity (as in birth defect). However, in the title it's written using the kanji 鬼(demon) and 経(sutra) and in the lyrics using the kanji 鬼(demon) and 形(shape). I tried to include all possible versions in my translation.
 
Kyouki talked about this text in an interview before and said the image he had in mind was that of a medieval town where a little girl that was born with horns on her head is sacrificed by the villagers.

Here you go   Gauzes - 闇の調べ... Gauzes - 蛍、送り火 Gauzes - モノクロ Gauzes - ナイフ Gauzes - 追憶 Gauzes - kiss Gauzes - 崩壊 Gauzes - 名も無き謳 Gauzes - WING Gauzes - 揺篭の結末... Gauzes - 枯れた花を照らす月

My thoughts exactly.

Not bad! Eventhough my feelings towards post-reunion Kuroyume can be summed up with that 2nd song title pretty accurately. xD

I just dropped by here, and saw that you'd like some lyrics scans from the new single:
 
甘イ右脳、赭イ左脳。
悦楽的自虐妄想癖な僕の事情
毒-ドク-

This is the best I could do, I hope they are readable~
Thanks for the translations so far btw!

Hi, welcome! Yay~ a fellow Buck-Tick and cali-gari fan!!

I was really curious to listen to this album after I've read about & heard bits of the direction he was taking, and it didn't disappoint!
 
Right off, Justice is a killer start, one of the best non-single tracks on the album actually. Speaking of, it's interesting to hear how much some of these songs changed compared to when he was playing them two years ago on tour - they suit the poppy polished atmosphere much more now, and have been "buffed up" both musically and lyrically, especially said opening number and the immensely fun and kinky Secret, another highlight for me. While most of the songs didn't come as a shock really, I have to mention the track Cry Like This - it just sounds so typically radio-pop it's uncanny (something Maroon 5 and the like would play). This would be one of the few songs that couldn't grab my attention, tho I have to admit the chorus is an "earworm", heh. I originally felt it was nice that they included Day 1 on the album too but ultimately I don't like the album version as much, I dunno, it just sounds a bit weird and out of place. Still, a rockin' song in itself. The ending track left a thing or two to be desired as well - I thought it was too happy-happy and cheesy but I could've expected that I guess - but all in all I almost thoroughly enjoyed this album, song-wise. Everything's just so catchy!
 
I also have to take note of the cool sound/production, they really hit the spot with this in my opinion. The added synths, effects and electronic beats combined with the superbly polished guitarsound work well together and mold the whole thing into an end product that's very easy and seamless to listen to. It's good that they didn't let these tweaks and add-ons overwhelm the actual songs and Miyavi's signature guitarplay of course. Overall, this is simply a fun and energetic album with just the right length and catchiness to make me wanna start it again as soon as it's over. Gotta applaud Miyavi and his crew, they did a brilliant job with this one! Can't wait for the tour to experience it live.
 
| slick sound, awesome songs, catchy hooks and only a few duds - an immensely fun experience!

omg omg omg *too many feels*
 
Can't believe I'm hearing new stuff after like 3 years. :'D I hope this means a new release is on the horizon finally~
 
speaking of, here's a recent blog post of Matenrou.
 
 
Something about the new album coming in 2013 and sorry to have kept us waiting, and it's nearing its completion after 3 years.

Just dropping by to say that the DVD box was sent today and it was sitting on the tabletop when I got home thanks to my roommate, I'll probably try and rip it before next week.

it appears that "THE DOGUU ALBUM" will be "eventually" released within 2013
