Antithesis JunkGirl
「そう あたし 見透かされていたガール。
それって劣等感、劣等感かな
今すぐ見惚れたい、ねえ、これ我侭かな？」
“Yes, I am, a girl who you’ve all seen right through.
Or maybe that’s a feeling of inferiority, just feelings of inferiority
I want to fall in love right now, hey, is that selfish?”
何一つ 答えなど呑み込めず
重ねた自問自答の果てまで
咲きかけてた才を見初められず
その場しのぎの情を積み上げて
Not even one, I can’t seem to get any answer through my head
No matter how much I ask questions to myself
Without anyone falling for my blooming talents
I’m piling up makeshift feelings
「ねえ あたし 暇なく泣きたいガール。
それでも結構、結構
勘違いをただ繰り返して今、これ面白いかい？」
“Hey, I am, a girl who wants to get busy crying.
I would be fine with just that, just fine.
I’m repeating the same mistakes over and over again, is this entertaining for you?”
紙一重 擬態など見破れず
呆れ切ってクラっとなる心で
楽になった今日の独りを、ただ、
ひたすらに味わい尽くして
Even if by a hair, I can’t seem to see through any imitation.
My heart has gotten so disgusted and dizzy over this.
Now that I’ve calmed down today, I’m just,
Earnestly tasting solitude until it runs out.
期待 期待 振り払って
見たい 見たい ものも無くて
唄え 唄え 君しかいない！
声の音、聴かせて欲しいわ
Expectations, expectations, shake them off
I want to see, I want see nothing
Sing, sing, You’re the only one I have!
I want you to listen to the sound of my voice.
「だいきらいさ、だいきらいさ」
大人びた声
こじらせたあたしの劣等、劣等 劣等症！
"I hate you, I hate you”
That grown up voice
Exacerbated my inferiority, inferiority, inferiority disease!
がらん、がらん 寂しさに飽いて
wallow in it, wallow in it, growing sick in loneliness.
「あんたなんか、しらないわ」
理由もなく流れ落ちる感情を今すぐ、
今すぐ忘れたいの！
“Someone like you, I don’t give a shit about”
These feelings which are flowing down without a purpose,
I want to forget about them right right now!
さらけ出したあたしの色 見てる かしら
I wonder if you’re looking at my exposed colors.
「ねえ あたし 隙間なく咲きたいガール
それでも結構
ああ 勘違いをただ繰り返して今、
それ面白いかなあ？」
“Hey, I am, a girl that wants to bloom without any relents.
I’m even fine with just that
Ah, I’m repeating the same mistakes over and over again,
is this entertaining for you?”
あれ、どこに探しても見つからない
やけになり見透した心の底
その場所に眠った独りを、
ただ、ひたすらに味わい尽くしていた
What the... I can’t find it anywhere
Depressed down to the depths of my transparent heart
I’m sleeping inside such depths alone
I’m just, earnestly tasting that alone until it runs out
期待 期待 振り払って
見たい 見たい ものは無くて
唄を唄うあたしだって、したい、したいことばかりさ
Expectations, expectations, shake them off
I want to see, I want to see nothing
This me whose singing songs, what I want to do, what I want to do are a lot of things.
伝え 伝え 音に沿って
似たい 似たい 色なんてないわ
向かえ 向かえ 君しかいないの
声の音、聴かせてくれないかな？
I’ll send it over, I’ll send it over, follow the sounds.
I want to be, I want to be, no color fits me.
Head forward, head forward, you’re the only one I have
Can you listen to the sound of my voice?
「咲いたよって、泣いてしました」
無意識の向こう側
吐きだしたあたしの痛みを認めたいの？
からんからん 夕景に沈んだ
“As soon as I bloomed, did I cry”
On the other side of my unconscious,
do I want to accept the pain that I’ve spit out?
dong dong.., It’s sunk into the sunset
ーどうしたのって、ききたくて
ー足りない言葉で枯らした声も、
今はただ 今はただ
ー見てよ、見てよと唄う今日でした
- What happened, is what I want to ask
- Though lacking in words, even my withered voice is,
Now it’s just Now it’s just…
- Look at it, look at it because I’m singing today
「だいきらいさ だいきらいだ」
「あんたなんか、しらないわ」
“I hate you, I hate you”
“someone like you, I don’t give a shit about”
だいきらいでしょうがないな
音もなくこぼれ落ちる感情を今すぐ、
今すぐ忘れたいの
さらけ出したあたしの色 素敵 かしら
It’s only obvious that I hate you
These feelings that are overflowing down without making a sound, I want to forget about them right right now.
I wonder if my exposed colors are pretty.
見てるかしら？
I wonder if you’re looking?
–’Antithesis Junkgirl’. There’s ‘Junkgirl’ in the title but, like every song in this album, what is happening within the universe of this unique song’s, as you said, ‘imaginary girl’?
wowaka: This was one of the first songs we wrote for this album. But since I’m always creating new girls one after another, one after another, in a way, all my imaginary girls are junk, they’re like odds and ends. I started to feel “I’m sorry… I keep replacing you every time…” (laughing). But it’s because still every one truly is different. So, I got the idea to turn my whole phenomenon itself into a song. So, this song is sort of special. There’s a main character within each and every song I write, and I’m incapable of writing from any other approach right now but… For this song, the perspective is a bit more comprehensive than usual.
–So are your characters self-aware that they’re being set up and written like this?
wowaka: Ah, yeah yeah. They are. When I view it comprehensively, they’ve all become self-aware, and though they’re pretty calm about it, they’re saying “What’s up with this?”, and in response to the concept they’re revolting. Crying “This isn’t how it’s supposed to be?!”, thinking “What the heck am I supposed to do?”. It’s a song that’s direct response to the way I make songs.
