I'm very sorry I haven't been updating in a while!!
I've been really busy this past week, and I'm going out of town this weekend, so I'll update when I come back home.
I promise I'll have some translations up by Tuesday!!
Thank you and sorry to everyone who checks this journal frequently!!
I won't disappoint you, I promise.
Ok then, I'll be back soon ^_^
I never listened to this song, but it's very mysterious and catchy.
It's as if it secretly seeps into your head...so strange
This was a bit harder to translate... I couldn't get the full picture of it, just yet -_-;;

This was requested on the Kurage community too, so I thought I'd do this one...
I didn't know Ryuutarou was saying "Calpis" in here!!

A little past mid-day, on a hot afternoon.
"I want to drink a Calpis.**" As I yearn that,
the bicycle clatters and runs with me on it.
The summer is almost vanishing, as I go around the inactive water fountain
it felt slightly refreshing, and I counted the drops of water that wasn't supposed to be there.
I want to talk to someone. As I realize that, I start to become more hurt.
My cellphone is out of batteries.
I gave up, and stepped into it, and caused a delay.
It's somewhat like I'm floating, that's how I feel.
As if I'm a Glider.
I keep floating while feeling sentimental.
I am a Glider.
Although hallucinations vanish very quickly.

Just like this, see. Just like this, see----.
I saw a weird dream, but then I feel like self-derision.
I laugh, I laugh, I laugh.
Wow, I haven't posted in a while...
I decided to do the translations for this, because someone on the Kurage community was looking for them ^_^
It's just a list, kind of like Tetris...

They're safely back home!!!!
It looks like they had a pretty hectic 2 weeks.
Bucchi says the skin on his hands are peeling. He must've been playing so hard!
Whenever Japanese people come back home from overseas they always say they cry when they eat Japanese food. Bucchi ate at Dennys and felt like crying!!
I wonder what kind of food Japanese Dennys has...
The tour ended!! Hopefully they landed safely in Japan ^_^
At the airport right now.
2008/10/20 22:44
We got here too early, but...
we'll be killing time for a while now.
The Europe tour ended too.
Now all we need to do is land safely in Japan...＾＾；
This time was a long trip, so I feel like parting with the local staff is really sad and lonely.
Thank you everyone!!
Well then.
I'm reading all these interviews with Ryuutarou and he keeps saying how personal "Kioku Yuki" is!!
He says it's his recent personal experience and it's so real, that he gets embarassed so much that he can't even listen to that song.
He said it's something he's been meaning to write, but wasn't sure if he should publish it into Plastic Tree's album since it's so personal.
But if he doesn't write it, he can't move forward so he wrote it.
I kind of want to know this story, but at the same time I don't...
I guess Ryuutarou does have someone special to him...
I mean, it's obvious he must have a girlfriend or something, but just really realizing that is kind of shocking...
I'm just a fan, not a stalker so please don't get the wrong impression!
It's just a really hard hit into reality...-_-;;
I would translate the interviews, but they're so long I can't do it all...
Ok and here's Yukke's blog that explains it more in details...
in problem solving center
(kind of confused with this title)
2008-10-05 17:49:48
This is Yukke.
I'm with Plastic Tree's Sasabuchi nii-san right now.
Yu "Is Pura going (to Europe) for about 2 weeks this time?"
Sa "No... ... ... ...It's about 13 days"
Yu "... ... ... ..."
Sa "... ... ... ..."
Yu (... ...oh man. I know I'm totally right, right now...)
Yu "... ... that means it's about 2 weeks, right."
Sa "yeah"
... ... EHHHHHH!! (laugh)
He seriously is a strange person(laugh)
This was hilarious!! Bucchi and Yukke went out to eat together...And they each wrote about this "incident"
Here's a translation of Bucchi's blog first:
We are Pa-pu-.

No actually, that's just me＾＾；
I cut my hair today.
My head feels light now.
Oh, and I had caught a cold the past few days...
And I got an enteritis, and things were crazy
I was always in bed. Ahaha.
I met MUCC's Yukke today.
As we were talking...
Yu ".... right??"
Bu "yeah...."
2 of us "......."
Inside my heart ".....Hm?....Wait a minute??"
Bu "Yes, you're right! I'm sorry"
Yu "then I was right!!"
I know this was already translated on Kurage, but I wanted to translate this too...
It's kind of selfish, sorry!! It's probably a little different...
But, it's such a pretty song I love it.
さよなら。

Good bye.
Even if you can't remember me, please don't cry.
It's just a lie from a fairytale country. But to be honest, I want you to cry a little bit.
4 in the morning. The train station is still dark.
I'm just waiting for the first train right now.
I'm filled with mail I can't delete.
If I open up my cellphone, it's dream light.
How far can I go with just one wish.
The rail that continues on towards you softly creaked.
The train is <heading towards that memory>.
Back to that time, where we said "see you again".
The world starts turning.
The remaining moon is an apathetic face too.
If I could take you somewhere far away, could we have been able to keep leaning on each other and laughing?
A glistening river of light reflects on the glass window.
I pass <You Station> and head towards the town on the farthest end.
I wonder why, with gentleness,
there's no reason, but that's the only thing I'm frightened of.
A Pendulum Clock. I drink a screw and try to move it.
Even if I pass all my days, I will never forget until the time I stop breathing.
I wonder how far I could have gone, with just one wish.
I got off on a noisy station where you were the only one not there.
I wrote a mail I'll never send.
When I shut my cellphone, the sun started to rise.

I wonder how I reflect in eyes of the unknowing you----.
Ok, I'm not much of a fan of Akira's songs, but I'll try translating this one...

The thunder roars. Somewhere around the 30th time, to an unbearable extent,
I clothed myself with depression hopelessness, and such and made countless foolish moves
I reach the peak of thinking 10 time, no around 13 times
Old person Baby I can't say either of that, everything is white That's how I feel now
Dance Flutter around right here Flutter and light a fire Grovel and light a fire
And now cry Don't resent anyone Bawl and reflect it
It'll light up your heart The moonlight butterfly that repeatedly comes closer to your body
Let's reflect beautifully along with the starry sky that lit up in our eyeballs Moonlight Uncertainty
A Squall blows on a 30-story building. Up on the rooftop, to an unbearable extent,
I clothed myself with feelings of guilt vilification and such Countless times of masochism
I simplified all the several hundreds of abusive language And shouted them In the end
The person who can crawl back up from all that is A samurai who lets down his guard
Dance Flutter around right here Flutter and light a fire Grovel and light a fire
And now cry Don't resent anyone Bawl and reflect it
It'll light up your heart The moonlight butterfly that repeatedly comes closer to your body
Let's reflect beautifully along with the starry sky that lit up in our eyeballs Moonlight Uncertainty
Dance Flutter around right here Even if you flutter and are saved, it's reincarnation
And now cry Don't envy anyone A cut up spectacle
The worldly inanimate nature I will transition myself to a Moonlight butterfly
The spectacle you reflect in your eyeballs are emotionless days of beautifulness and unrelatedness
I like this song...
It's very relaxing (especially after Fiction x_x;;)
These lyrics were hard to translate too...
I can't see the story behind the lyrics!! I don't know if he's talking about himself, or about this other person...or...??

In this despair-like weather's red sky, I start to whistle
I was looking for my position that I can stand in, within the crowd of people
After I find out that it's an un-inviting world and tears start to fall
I spread into this lukewarm sentimental
I start to sing this song that's almost like a useless spell
The waves that I can't understand anymore I tried to match it
If you're looking for my emotions that I deserted, it's still missing somewhere
What did I lose, to be myself?
Sunset Sunset The reason why I cried
Sunday Sunday The meaning why I laugh
Sunshine
If I could close my eyes and imagine I'll spread both my arms wide open and fly just the way I am
I flutter the wings of a distorted dream and as I go through the darkness I feel like I can I ride on the wind
Calm Evening Calm Evening Calm Evening I flutter
Carry me Up to the future Up to the future
I keep searching things that are already solved I stand still and can't move
I can't help but hang my head down because of the slightly bitter sentimental, but
I try to move forward even if it's one step at a time Even reality is a parade
Even if there are no Dogs, Pheasants, or Monkeys just march on forward!
Frame Frame I cram in the scenery
Phrase Phrase I start off leniently
Flat
If I could close my eyes and imagine I'll spread both my arms wide open and fly just the way I am
If I duck under the darkness with the freedom I found with the warped dream, I wonder where I can go up to?
Sunset glow Sunset glow Sunset glow gets dyed
And it projects only the future only the future
It's a UFO It's a flight I don't like that Drop me off mid-way
It's going to shake me off It's going to take me away
It's a parable
This is fiction
If I could close my eyes and imagine I'll spread both my arms wide open and fly just the way I am
I flutter the wings of a distorted dream and as I go through the darkness I feel like I can become the wind
If I could open my eyes and become sincere I would be able to catch even your tears
I feel Gentle Love Melancholy Deep and Remote
Congestion
View of the streets
Far away universe I run up to it
