悪ノ娘歌詞
Daughter of Evil Lyrics

Somehow, it's always the evil characters that capture my attention. Not really sure why.

なんとなく、悪と呼ばれたキャラクターが気に入る。なぜか分からん。

Daughter of Evil
悪ノ娘

Lyrics/Composition/Arrangement: mothy (Evil P)
作詞・作曲・編曲:mothy(悪ノP)

Vocal: Rin Kagamine
歌手:鏡音リン

Lyrics/歌詞:

むかしむかしあるところに
悪逆非道の王国の
頂点に君臨するは
齢十四の王女様

Once upon a time,
there was a evil, unjust kingdom,
and at its head,
a fourteen-year-old princess.

絢爛豪華な調度品
顔のよく似た召使
愛馬の名前はジョセフィーヌ
全てが全て彼女のもの

Luxurious and gorgeous furnishings,
a servant whose face resembled hers,
a favorite horse named Josephine,
everything was all hers.

お金が足りなくなったなら
愚民どもから搾りとれ
私に逆らう者たちは
粛清してしまえ

If money starts to run low,
squeeze more out of the ignorant peasants;
anyone who disagrees with me
is to be purged!

「さあ、ひざまずきなさい!」
"Now, kneel before me!"

悪の華 可憐に咲く
鮮やかな彩りで
周りの哀れな雑草は
嗚呼 養分となり朽ちていく

The evil flower blooms beautifully,
shaded in brilliant color.
The surrounding pitiful weeds
can just become nourishment and rot away.

暴君王女が恋するは
海の向こうの青い人
だけども彼は隣国の
緑の女にひとめぼれ

The tyrannical princess fell in love
with a blue-haired person across the sea,
but in a neighboring country, he
was instantly taken with a green-haired girl.

嫉妬に狂った王女様
ある日大臣を呼び出して
静かな声で言いました
「緑の国を滅ぼしなさい」

Mad with jealousy, the princess
one day called her ministers to her.
In a soft voice she told them,
"That green land is to be reduced to ruins."

幾多の家が焼き払われ
幾多の命が消えていく
苦しむ人々の嘆きは
王女には届かない

Countless houses were burned to the ground,
countless lives were erased.
The lamentations of the suffering people
failed to reach the princess.

「あら、おやつの時間だわ」
"Oh, it's time for afternoon tea."

悪の華 可憐に咲く
狂おしい彩りで
とても美しい花なのに
嗚呼 棘が多すぎて触れない

The evil flower blooms beautifully,
shaded in the colors of madness.
Even though it is a pretty flower,
ah, countless thorns make it impossible to touch.

悪の王女を倒すべく
ついに人々は立ち上がる
烏合の彼らを率いるは
赤き鎧の女剣士

Finally, people arose
who felt they had to overthrow the evil princess.
At the head of this mob
was a female knight in red armor.

つもりにつもったその怒り
国全体を包み込んだ
長年の戦で疲れた
兵士たちなど敵ではない

As they planned, the piled-up anger
enveloped the entire country.
Endless fighting left everyone tired;
even the soldiers found they were not enemies.

ついに王宮は囲まれて
家臣たちも逃げ出した
可愛く可憐な王女様
ついに捕らえられた

Finally the palace was surrounded,
and the servants had fled.
The beautiful princess
was finally taken into custody.

「この 無礼者!」
"You ungrateful peasants!"

悪の華 可憐に咲く
悲しげな彩りで
彼女のための楽園は
嗚呼 もろくもはかなく崩れてく

The evil flower blooms beautifully,
shaded with the colors of sadness.
The princess's paradise;
fragile, transient, it crumbled to ruin.

むかしむかしあるところに
悪逆非道の王国の
頂点に君臨してた
齢十四の王女様

Once upon a time,
there was a evil, unjust kingdom,
and at its head,
a fourteen-year-old princess.

処刑の時間は午後三時
教会の鐘が鳴る時間
王女と呼ばれたその人は
一人牢屋で何を思う

The time of punishment was set at 3 in the afternoon;
the time the church bell rung.
She who was called "princess",
alone in her cell, what did she think of?

ついにその時はやってきて
終わりを告げる鐘が鳴る
民衆などには目もくれず
彼女はこういった

Finally the time came;
the bell rang out the end.
Ignoring the people below her,
the princess had only this to say:

「あら、おやつの時間だわ」
"Ah, it's time for afternoon tea."

悪の華 可憐に散る
鮮やかな彩りで
のちの人々はこう語る
嗚呼 彼女は正に悪ノ娘

The evil flower fell beautifully,
shaded in brilliant colors.
Off in the distant future, the people would say,
ah, she was truly a daughter of evil.

現代の歌姫
The Diva of the Modern Age

Miku Hatsune is so cute!

初音ミク、かわいいな!

Okay. Got that out of my system. So yesterday, there was a concert: Miku Hatsune Live Party 2011, in Tokyo. Sadly I couldn't go to the actual event itself (I'll save random trips to Tokyo for the weekends), but I was able to go to the movie theater in Kyoto and watch the concert live from afar. And I'm very glad I did.

さあ。とにかく。昨日はコンサートがありました。それは初音ミクライブパーティー2011。本当のイベントは東京にあるから、行けなかったけど、京都の映画館でライブを見ることが出来た。本当にすごかった。

I got to the theater around 6:45; the show was supposed to start at 7. After meeting a friend who was also going to the concert, we headed into the movie theater. We got a free little glow stick and a tote bag when we went in, because it wouldn't be a Japanese concert without glow sticks to wave around in the air. And yes, we did. The movie theater was a field of little glowy lights during the entire concert.

僕は6時45分に映画館に着いた。ライブは、7時に始まる。友達と会って、映画館を入った。入る時、トートバッグとケミカルライトがもらった。そのケミカルライトはとても日本的な物だと思った。いつも、日本のライブで、みんなはそのライトを振る。私たちも。ライブ中で、たくさんのキラキラと光ってるライトがあった。

Why was this concert so cool, you ask? Simple. Hologram. The Vocaloids are not human beings, after all. We're referring to computer programs designed to synthesize voice, primarily for singing. I say "primarily" because Miku did greet us after her first song ("Good evening everyone!"), so she's certainly capable of "normal" speech, although it does sound a little awkward.

なぜそんなにかっこいいだと思うかと聞いた?実は、一番かっこいい点はミクだった。ホログラムだった。ボーカロイドは、人間ではない。声を作るためのコンピュータのプログラムだ。大体、この声は歌声だけど、普通の話すこともできる。というのは、ミクは、「皆さん、こんばんは!」と話したからだ。もっとも、ちょっと不器用だったけど...

Of course, Japan being Japan, said computer programs are given the face and form of a 16-year-old girl with bright blue hair that's probably longer than she is tall. According to the booklet I bought at the concert, Miku is 16, is about 5'2", and weighs less than a hundred pounds.

まあ、日本らしいプログラムだ。そのプログラムは、16歳の長すぎる青い髪の毛の女の子の形だ。パンフレットによると、初音ミクは、16歳で、158センチの高さで、42キロの重さだ。

... If they're trying to get me to see her as more "human", it's working. I mean, there's what I started this post with...

...「ミクは本当の人間」という影響を与えたかったら、よく出来たな。まあ、これの初めの文は...

オオカミガール歌詞
Wolf Girl Lyrics

I like Miku Hatsune.

初音ミクが好きだ。

Don't know why I picked this one though. I do tend to like tsundere-type characters, so maybe that's it...?

でも、この歌を選ぶ理由が分からない。たいてい、ツンデレのキャラクターが好きだから、それかな



Wolf Girl
オオカミガール

Artist: Kura-P Feat. Miku Hatsune
歌手:くらP Feat. 初音ミク

Composer: Kura-P
作曲:くらP

Lyrics/歌詞:

目覚めた午前二時 お月さまきらきら
ムネがドキドキ 体がアツいわ
アタシ 変身しちゃうの?

I woke up at two in the morning,
the moon was shining brightly.
My heart’s beating fast,
my body feels hot...
have I transformed?

イチゴのケーキに クマのぬいぐるみ
もうオトナだし
だけどホントは大・ス・キライ!

Strawberry cake, my teddy bear...
Come on, of course I’m an adult!
But you know, I just love - I mean, hate it!

オオカミガールが キミを困らせに行くよ
素直になれない
「あのねホントはね」
オオカミガールが キミを困らせるけれど
ウソツキなんて呼ばないで 不器用なだけ

Wolf-girl’s going to make trouble for ya!
I’m not used to being open about myself...
“Um... Actually, I...”
Wolf-girl makes trouble for you, but
don’t call me a liar, it’s just awkward!

なかなか眠れない お星さまきらきら
ムネがドキドキ 頭はくらくら
アタシ おかしくなりそう?

I can’t sleep;
the stars are shining brightly.
My heart’s beating fast,
I feel kinda dizzy...
Does it seem like I’m becoming strange?

星占いで キミとの相性をみたわ
なんとなくなんとなくよ!
気がついたら キミのことばかり
頭から離れない!

I read the stars and saw our love;
I don’t know why!
When I noticed, there was nothing but you;
I couldn’t stop thinking about it!

オオカミガールが キミを困らせに行くよ
いいコになれない
「あのねホントはね」
オオカミガールが キミを困らせるけれど
ツンデレなんて呼ばないで 恥ずかしいだけ

Wolf-girl’s going to make trouble for ya!
I’m not used to being a good little kid...
“Um... Actually, I...”
Wolf-girl makes trouble for you, but
don’t call me a tsundere, it’s just embarrassing!

オオカミガールが キミを困らせに行くよ
素直になれない
「あのねホントはね」
オオカミガールが キミを困らせるけれど
「あのねホントはね」
「あのねホントはね」
キミがスキでダイスキで 仕方ないだけ!

Wolf-girl’s going to make trouble for ya!
I’m still not used to being open about myself...
“Um... Actually, I...”
Wolf-girl makes trouble for you, but
“um... actually, I...”
“um... actually, I...”
I like you, I love you; it just can’t be helped!
