Okay, I know I said I was going to start on the Kamigami no Asobi songs next (and in truth, I did! The translation for "Lunar Maria" is finished, but I'm waiting to post them until I finished with the ED theme as well), but then the unexpected happened: I FINALLY got my hands on the kanji for these final two AMNESIA songs and so I just had the unshakeable urge to get them translated first~
So shortly before the release of AMNESIA WORLD for PS Vita, Otomate first released the AMNESIA CHARACTER SONG COLLECTION, which was basically a compilation CD of every AMNESIA character song made to date, which always makes fans sad after they've already purchased all the original individual CDs. Especially since the COLLECTION included two brand new songs! And they're group songs this time (mostly)!
(only one way)
- First of all, if you haven't seen the PVs for these two songs, YOU NEED TO!!! They're glorious~♪
- "only one way" is the first of the new songs, as well as the first ever duet song in the AMNESIA franchise ("my best friend?" doesn't count; Kent didn't actually sing)! So who else should get to sing it but Shin & Toma~ They're singing voices are incredibly similar, so they blend together nicely. Plus, harmony!! xD (We should all know by now how much I love harmony in my group songs~) So naturally, "only one way" is my favorite of the two new songs~ Not that I dislike the second one.
(your magic)
- So "your magic" is by the remaining 3 guys--Ikki, Kent, and Ukyo. But it is not so much a "group" song as "Ikki doing the actual singing with a couple monologues from Kent and Ukyo thrown in at the very beginning and very end." Shame, really. I understand that Kent will probably never sing for me based on his other two "songs," but Ukyo's songs are usually some my favorites... Oh well, I do always enjoy hearing Taniyama Kishou sing~
And I have no idea what the "AMNESIA V Star" refers to from the title in the videos, so maybe someone could enlighten me? The singer groups are also referred to by strange letter combinations that don't make sense to me either, but whatever.
So for realz next time, I will be working on the KamiAso songs. Expect the PSP game OP & ED themes up first~
NOTE: If you intend to use my romanizations/translations, please credit!

♣ 触れられるほどの距離にいるのに、
もっと近づけたいと思う。
こんな気持ちを、愛している…
と呼ぶのだろうか
♠ それは懐かしいmelody
独りきりで吐息混じりに
重ねた歌を思い出して
君に会いたい…
切なさに眼を伏せても
想いあふれて止まらない
熱を帯びた涙が増えてゆく
暗闇から見つけた
大切な My Dear Lady
絡めた指と指で 愛してると囁く
君の全てが Your magic
微笑む君がいない世界なんて
もう戻れはしないよ
君と生きていく…
それはモノクロのmemories
何度となく奪われた夢
無数の未来 今は遙か
そっと触れあい
寄り添った部屋の中で拗ねる
愛しい君がいる
憂い秘めた瞳に口づけて
ふたりだけの約束
交わすから My Dear Lady
心が叫ぶ 君を愛してると
世界を信じたくなる Your magic
微睡(まどろ)む君が目覚める時までは
ほら ここにいてあげる
甘えていいから
そっと抱き寄せ 君と溶けるような
この夜よ永久(とわ)に どうか
もう二度と放しはしないから
他には何もいらないと誓うよ
ふたりで星を見上げているだけで
言葉はいらなくなる Your magic
愛しい君と眠る世界ならば
ああ 何もいらないよ
君との永遠
この身体、心を ずっと守るから
♣ 寂しいという感情など、不必要なものだと思っていた
だが、この気持ちを知ってしまったから、
もう君が存在しない世界には戻れない
☽ この終わらない世界で、俺は生きていく
君を求めて、ずっと

Translation:
♣ Even though we’re close enough to touch,
I feel like I want to get even closer.
This feeling must be…
What is referred to as loving someone
♠ That’s such a nostalgic melody
Mixed in with these lonely sighs
I remember this layered song
I want to see you…
Even if my eyes are concealed by the pain,
These feelings won’t stop overflowing
My tears tinged with this passion are multiplying
I found you from within this darkness,
My precious one, my dear lady
Whispering “I love you” through our entwined fingers
Everything about you is your magic
A world without you smiling in it,
I will never return to such a place
I’m alive with you…
Those are such monochrome memories
Dreams stolen time and time again
An infinite future seems so far away now
A gentle touch…
Nestled close together, sulking in this room,
My beloved, you are here
Kissing your eyes which hide your sorrow
A promise just between the two of us,
We’ve exchanged it with each other, my dear lady
My heart cries out that I love you
Wanting to believe in this world, your magic
As you doze, until you wake,
See, I will be here for you
So you should let me spoil you
In a gentle embrace, as if I’m fusing with you,
Tonight and forevermore, somehow
I’ll never let you go again,
So I swear I’ll never need anything else besides
Just gazing up at the stars together
There’s no need for words, your magic
If I could sleep in a world with you, my beloved,
Ah, I’d need nothing else
An eternity with you
This body of mine will always protect my heart
♣ I thought such feelings as loneliness were unnecessary
However, now that I know this feeling,
I can no longer return to a world without you in it
☽ In this endless world, I continue to live
Searching for you…always…
