[Lyrics] toumei ansaa / Jin feat. IA
Yep. It's been 2 years since the last post. And this is a Vocaloid song. For which a gazillion translations exist already. But I've been sucked into the entire musical + visual world of Kagerou Project since stumbling across this song by accident.
Original Japanese title: toumei ansaa [ watch ]
Translated title: Transparent Answer
Artist: Jin feat. IA

English Translation
A daily life
That’s not even remotely bewildering
Like drifting about it I repeatedly take my seat
“So, can you figure this one out?”
As if to test me again
My textbook without numbers seems to say
If it’s about results
Well, they’re pretty good, I guess.
And I’m handed a 3-digit perfect score on recycled paper
At the desk next to mine
While smiling sheepishly
You with a low-digit score take your seat
I don’t expect to find anything beyond those windows
The answers would come to me too easily anyways
“But look, there’s more to things than that” you say
And always seem to be so cheerful
Don’t touch it any more, this heart that just wants to disappear
Yet again today, I’m not able to see the Earth anywhere
The alarm that's gone off
“You’re so cold-hearted” I talk to it alone
Even if I were to check the answers now as if mystified
They would somehow all be so obvious to me anyhow
That “If I were to die today
Someone else would replace me anyhow”
To even mutter so seems absurd
The days of seeming to drift about repeat themselves
But it seems strange that you would miss a day from school
Well, in any case, that test being handed back tomorrow
I’m sure the outcome will be no different than usual
A daily life that’s not even remotely bewildering
But at some point
Perhaps it’s already gone off the rails
The shade of your hair
Your smiling face
Perhaps someone no longer remembers them
“Your empty seat framed by those windows
How does it look from where you are?” I say
And ask as if I had ever known you
But I hadn’t really figured out a single thing about you
Had I been able to figure you out even a little
The days that seemed to continue on and on for our sake
The alarm that's gone off, each time I stop it I’m forced to realize
That they no longer exist
Sitting in class with a wounded heart that just wanted to disappear
You repeatedly managed to laugh while continuing to hide it all
You who jumped from here never to return, your smiling face
I won’t forget it, not even tomorrow
