I like this song a lot! And I really enjoyed the process of translating it too. In Filipino, マスカラ reminds me of "maskara" (mask), which is also pretty apporpriate for the context of the song, which is fun to think about. Yay! Enjoy!
Reader, this song was so difficult to work with. The total opposite of Imitation Rain in terms of seamless English-Japanese integration. But I worked with what I had. It's a catchy song and like many 6T songs, it's very ~moody~ and mysterious in a way you don't really expect a Johnny's song to be. I really like how unique their music style is!
We've reached the SixTONES portion of our program! First I have Imitation Rain, which is one of the more seamless integrations of English and Japanese that I've encountered as of yet!! As expected of Yoshiki. This has always been an earworm since I first heard it and working on this will surely make it last in my head even longer, lmao. Enjoy! ( K/R/E )
