So cute.
 

I wonder why they offer rectangular glasses for boys and not girls? Had to draw mine on.

Thanks hiroki! It really helps to see someone else's take on it.
 
The first line and the word "image" were both really throwing me off, and the way you're reading them makes a lot of sense.

I wonder why they offer rectangular glasses for boys and not girls? Had to draw mine on.
 

that paragraph you've marked a few asterisks on can be translated in any number of ways, but here's my very quick attempt:
 
 
anyway thanks for your effort! that must have taken a long time to translate ^^; i love xtripx too, especially their post-hiatus stuff

I made an attempt at translating this into English, but there's one verse that I really don't get and it's probably very wrong. If you have any corrections don't hesitate to let me know.

At that time, I didn’t know
That that song would allow me to meet so many new friends
Signs of the beginning
 
Nobody ever knows when the end will come
But even if it comes tomorrow, I’ll probably have no regrets
The morning this began, I had no idea what the future held
I got into the car and the sunlight shone on my rearview mirror
Now, I’ve piled up tons of dreams and equipment
And it’s a tool that links me to the friends reflected in it
 
And go against the flow
Somewhere for yourself
 
Life is what is changing
What can be seen with closed eyes
I’ll get to that future waiting up ahead someday
As long as I keep on believing
Even if my wish doesn’t come true
My life will glow
 
Somehow, we managed to raise up a big revolution
What’s left after that storm of passion?
Even if the answer is “zero”, that’s fine
Because life is addition
 
And go against the flow
Somewhere for yourself

It depends on each individual’s life
Whether that victory is fake or a sure thing isn’t something someone else can decide

It seems like an answer is emerging, but it’s time to start again and lock up****
I can’t stop

Never give up on your dream
It will come true if you keep on believing
And you’ll shine too

Honestly, I'd never listened to any xTRiPx songs before this one. I was checking out some of their other stuff yesterday though, and I really liked the 2013-2015 releases, so maybe I'll do more at some point. The problem is that my Japanese is really bad, so I can only do songs that are relatively direct and simple. This one is pretty straightforward and I still feel like I butchered some of it. ^^;
 
Oh, thanks for letting me know about the kanji link. It's fixed now.
 
Yeah, I really got the impression that he was getting himself mentally prepared to move on from xTRiPx when this was written after looking at the lyrics. It's such a sweet, optimistic song, though.

I made an attempt at translating this into English, but there's one verse that I really don't get and it's probably very wrong. If you have any corrections don't hesitate to let me know.

THANK.
YOU.
REALLY.
THANK YOU.
 
will you do any other xTRiPx songs translation in the future? 'good trip' would be lovely!
 
also, the link to the kanji webpage is redirecting to MH!
 
thanks again for this!
 
EDIT: Fucking beautiful lyrics... Apparently, Yoshito was already evaluating xTRiPx lifespan and achievements by that time (I already had that impression, just by the song title). The message is positive and kinda bittersweet, as 'good trip' also seems to have... I really hope he is fulfilled by those incredible 10+1 years...

Yes. It looks something like
 

No, geek sleep sheep has a male vocalist as well. They split the vocals, but he probably sings a bit more than Miyoko does overall.

Glad to see that WANIMA track on the list.

Glad to see that WANIMA track on the list.

GLAY's "Love Is Beautiful" album is the first one coming to mind. It's not my absolute favourite, but I think it's a very solid one for around 15 years into their career. The collaborations with Kyosuke Himuro and EXILE are both really refreshing.
 

^Whenever I see the name KEEL I assume it's this one and get incredibly confused about why people are talking about them here
 

I still say Dirty Old Men was gold.
 
SHIT HAPPENING, on the other hand, is impossible to take seriously.
 

Is anyone else going to AN this year? I missed umbrella last time since I was leaving for a trip on Saturday, so I'm really happy they were invited back.

Looking to my left and right, we are the most oshare kei around here
Where ever we go, people are clapping and cheering at us, and taking pictures of us for magazines.
Oshare is the best after all, isn’t it?
Hey, there’s a kotekote guy. Wearing lame clothes and sunglasses.
That’s not very popular at the moment? Hurry up and become Oshare like us.

＜Parody＞ 
I said to much, I’m sorry
By the way, I am…. Os*are. Yup.

I don't usually translate lyrics, but I felt particularly inspired by this song and it didn't seem too difficult to do. I did this fairly quickly (15 minutes) so it may or may not be slightly inaccurate, but I trust you'll get the meaning of this song. Feel free to correct me.

"Red Bathroom"
 
Let's make red rain fall Let's swear "forever" right now   From me to you, as I have feelings of instability   I want you, I want you, I want you Please look only at me I'm sorry, I'm sorry I killed you because I love you I want you, I want you, I want you Please accept me   *squish squish squish*  Dig it out With this, you only belong to me, right? Disconnecting pieces. Does it hurt? La la la la I want you to look only at me I'll decorate the room with your eyeballs I'll put out your leftover pieces on garbage day   In the bathroom, singing a song, painting it red in a secret ceremony As you lie there unmoving and covered in red, I copiously pour something white on you In the dead of night   Why shouldn't I kill people? Dad and Mom didn't teach me Even I fell in love with somebody Though this is the first time I felt this way If you won't understand, I don't want you Die die die die   My favourite white shirt got dirty Let's bury anyone who interrupts us in the garden With this, we are alone In the sweet dead of night   That girl looks good too. I want to kill her.   The unending rain, I'll fall in love again In the red rain, I'm alone again In the dead of night

Yeah, I love all things Tetsu and since he can do no wrong in my book, it's a passable song. However if this came from anyone else I'd probably be less than impressed.
I think alot of the problem with Tetsu is that he comes out with TOO many albums and probably doesn't give much creative meandering before going into the studio.
Early on in nil, he would perform some songs live for 1-2 years before actually recording which always gives a song more flavor and details.
Last year he released three albums in a row practically (Zigzo, The JuneJulyAugust and nil) and contributed a few tracks to Indies Denryoku. It was great as a fan of his but no single album was amazing like the early Zigzo and nil albums used to be. You can imagine if he condensed all of his creative output into one album it would be a classic.

So, being that he hasn't done much this year, perhaps the other tracks on this Black Comet Club Band will fare better.

And for me, his work on JJA's albums were more thought out and interesting than what he's been doing with nil in recent years where I can't really think of any tracks I replay often.
The JJA song 'Sequence' is probably my favorite thing he's done in the last 5 years.
 
Some other JJA tracks that I can recommend to new fans:
 
My Funny Car (single version)
 
1st album [fukaku mogure]
Goo Girl
fujuu no megami
 
2nd album [Edelweiss]
doumyaku
tekitou desu
 
3rd album [Paradise]
ruten
Paradise
Sequence
 
btw violetchain, I just saw your translation work and it's great work! I'm always attempting to translate zIgzo / JJA / nil songs for my own understanding, so it's nice to read lyrics of tracks I have never done.
