(青)
Blue
僕らの青はいつまでだって
消えることなんてないって思ってた
だから
僕らの恋がいつか終わって
それでも残るものを信じるよ
Our blues for forever on
We thought they would never disappear
So
Our love will reach it’s end one day
Yet I’ll believe that something remains
「泣いていいかな」
「笑っていいかな」
何方にも征けず
不思議な表情になってさ
“Can I cry"
"Can I laugh”
I can’t pick which to do
So my face becomes a little strange
僕ら、
僕らの恋はいつか終わって
それでも僕らが終わることはないだろう
Our,
Our love may reach it’s end one day
Yet we won’t ever end as people
馬鹿みたくあどけなく
変われないままでいいよ
嘘みたく嘘じゃない
僕らの唄を
So idiotic so innocent
You’re fine as you are
Like it’s a lie but it’s not a lie
and here’s our song
焦がした色が、色が
誰を染めることも無くとも
捨てられやしない
僕にはできない
心なんて自分勝手だ
飛ばした声が
夜の帳を下ろしてしまっても
ただの僕らのままここで
今、唄を歌うよ
A scorching color, a color,
may fail to paint another but
I can’t seem to dispose of it
I can’t do it
The heart is selfish bane
A voice which set off for the skies
may pull down the curtains of day
With us remaining behind them
Now, we’ll sing our song
ふとした拍子に
満たされぬ夜に
軽口を叩いて歩いた帰り道に
今も僕らの恋は置いてけぼりだ
今でも僕らの息はそこにあるんだ
In a sudden turn of events
An unfulfilling night presents
Walking home, joking as we went
Our love is still left behind there
Our breaths are still lingering there
あえて言うなら
なんて言うかな
恥ずかしがってさ
目を伏せていた僕ら
If I had to say something
What would I say
We would get all shy
And stare at the ground
いつか
僕らが青を塗り潰したって
それでも僕らをやめることはないだろう
One day
We’ll be colored whole in blue
Yet still we won’t stop being who we are
くだらなく
つまらない
継ぎ接ぎの唄でいいよ
誰にも似合うことはない
形をしているだろう
So nonsensical
So boring
A tattered song is perfect as it is
Relatable to nobody
It has its own form
燃やした色が放つ
光にも似た明日の匂い
言葉にならないことばかりだね
わかりきっているんだ、でも
あの夜の彼方
抱かれた空に溺れても、ああ
夢のまた夢だと僕らまた
笑っていいかな
A burning color is emitting
a scent of tomorrow like a light ahead
It’s so hard to put this into words
I know everything about it, but
Way up in the black night,
May we even drown into the sky we’re embracing, ah
In dreams past dreams, like the past
can we laugh together again
くだらなく
つまらない
継ぎ接ぎの唄でいいよ
誰にも似つかない
あなたのままでいいよ
So nonsensical
So boring
A tattered song is perfect as it is
Comparable to nobody else
You’re perfect as you are
馬鹿みたく不甲斐なく
頼りないままでいいよ
嘘みたい
でも嘘じゃない
僕らを唄おう
So idiotic so hopeless
You’re perfect even if you’re undependable
Like it’s a lie
But it’s not a lie
Let’s sing of who we are
燃やした色が放つ
光にも似た明日の匂い
言葉にならないことばかりだね
わかりきっているんだ、でも
あの夜の彼方
抱かれた空に溺れても
忘れることの出来るはずもない
A burning color is emitting
The scent of tomorrow like a light ahead
It’s so hard to put any of this into words
I know everything about it, but
Way up in the black night,
May we even drown into the sky we’re embracing
There’s no way I would forget about us
色を知ってしまったんだと
Why did I have to learn of color?
焦がした青が、青が
誰を染めることも無くとも
捨てられやしない
僕にはできない
心なんて自分勝手だ
飛ばした色は今も
僕らの胸の中で燃えてる
そんな唄を歌うよ
A scorching blue, a blue,
may fail to paint another but
I can’t seem to dispose of it
I can’t do it
The heart is selfish bane
A color which set off for the skies is still
Burning inside of our chests
As we’ll sing this song
Keynotes
Yumao: Ao! The song this guy right here stans!
ygarshy: I stan Ao… When it came time to choose the MV song, I was on a battlefield 7 VS 1, with 7 people on the opposing November MV side. Shinoda took pity on me and told me “You can do whatever you want on the Idol Junkfeed chorus so just give up on Ao’s MV”… Who suddenly gave you all that authority huh,
Yumao: www When did that happen www. Though in the end it became a seesawing shamble, when I listened to November I thought “Ahh this is so good!” but when I listened to Ao I thought “Ao is really good too…” After much confusion, Leader and I finally decided on Ao.
ygarshy: Yep, exactly as I wanted.
Yumao: wwww Shinoda had to concede in the end
ygarshy: That’s why I’m saying, let him wallow in defeat.
Report from Hitorie’s Bakuon Shichoukai, during their 5th anniversary Hitori-escape special. Where for one of the 7 days of nonstop celebration, Hitorie had leaked HOWLS from livehouse speakers and chatted about the songs. Much much thanks to Mi-san for the report on their chats and for allowing me to use!!!: https://twitter.com/3_mi_5/status/1090807686436773888
