[mobage] Yumeiro Cast – JACK: The Eternal Darkness (UR+ card dramas)

Sorry for the wait – in the middle of a large move to a large city and my lack of focus is truly an amazing sight to behold.

Here are the awakening stories that are a continuation to the UR stories I posted already. As before, chronological story order is Kuroki>Gaku>Aizawa>Rei>Haiba.

Will try to post the final stories (the Haiba ones) sometime this or next week – please don’t hold me to anything right now, haha. These should at least give away the major plot device of the musical…at the very least, parts of the UR stories all feel…rather different…after the UR+ ones…

[lyrics] Yumeiro Cast – rain, falling on this lonely castle

It’s way too hard to make out the English in the backing voice, so I’ll update this if we ever get official lyrics.

rain, falling on this lonely castle – Haiba Takuma
(CV: Saitou Souma)

the days where I made all the wrong assumptions
were but in a lonely castle
a cold, large room without anyone else around
and the thoughts and feelings I have of there
form a path that takes me back to the past
tactics blazing with a dark and all-consuming focus

when I realized that I had erred, I found
that your kindness had seeped
into every corner of my heart
I don’t want to forget, can’t forget at all
and I wish that I could touch you

oh, would it be forgiven –

let’s start over from the top, once more, once more
if the two of us could be in love, it would be like a dream
but right now I’m alone in the rain
holding back how much I want to see you
(I miss you)
so what will happen now?

[lyrics] Yumeiro Cast – Dears for Fears

Dears for Fears – Kuroki Ryosuke (CV: Furukawa Makoto), Haiba Takuma (CV: Saitou Souma), Aizawa Yutaro (CV: Suzumura Kenichi), Shiramuku Rei (CV: Yamashita Daiki), Sudo Gaku (CV: Hirakawa Daisuke)

(all)          it still hungers, my heart
(all)          I wish it would feel full, my heart
(all)          I wish it would feel full, my heart
(all)          I wish it would

(Sudo)     never satisfied, oh, my dark side dears
(Kuroki)   born from desire, oh, my dark side dears

(Rei)        someone’s lovely scent
(Rei)        searching through my memories
(Sudo)     I hear a voice, parched and thirsting
(Sudo)     and when I turn in its direction

(Aizawa)  the moon slices the window into shreds
(Aizawa)  scattering the bloodlike petals
(Aizawa)  whom does one who has taken
(Aizawa)  their last breath look at, I wonder

(Kuroki)   into the darkness alone once more
(Kuroki)   where it will swallow you whole
(Kuroki)   and so, what begins
(Haiba)    (is that which we call fear)

(all)          what sort of love is it
(all)          is it not love at all
(all)          I wouldn’t know, wouldn’t know
(Rei)        with that smile of yours in the mirror
(Rei)        you tempt me, tempt me
(Haiba)    (is this even love)

(all)          what sort of love is it
(all)          is it not love at all
(all)          I’ll know the answer one day
(Haiba)    just what it is, what it is that I hold
(Gaku)     in these hands that felt the dark

(Kuroki)   but if I’m just seeing things, then won’t it disappear
(Kuroki)   this pain left in my heart
(Aizawa)  isn’t it fine if I’m only seeing things, I think to myself
(Haiba)    as a beautiful dream satisfies me

(all)          it still hungers, my heart
(all)          I wish it would feel full, my heart
(all)          I wish it would feel full, my heart­
(all)          I wish it would

[mobage] Yumeiro Cast – JACK: The Eternal Darkness (UR card dramas)

This is kind of an unusual event where the set/musical has a very clear story, but there’s no event story, but story snippets are being shared on the official twitter…and either way, all of the story is in the URs, and the four gacha URs and their UR+ dramas wham you…but reading the free Haiba card’s UR/UR+ story not only kind of gives the wham away, but doesn’t have nearly as much impact.

That being said, one thing led to another and I’m translating all of it. Posting the four UR stories first, then the lyrics, then the four UR+ stories, and then Haiba’s UR/UR+ story. I’ve got my reasons, and hopefully you’ll see why.

Chronological story order is Kuroki>Gaku>Aizawa>Rei>Haiba. Story in short: Genesis cast in a Jack the Ripper adaptation. Story in long: holy crap.

[lyrics] Yumeiro Cast – Dark Side’s JUDGMENT

Dark Side’s JUDGMENT – Tachibana Sousei (CV: Toyonaga Toshiyuki)

such brittle things they are – life, and trust
I can’t say for certain that they were there at all
can’t grasp it any more

all is gone
let the bad dreams hold me in their embrace
there’s no going back, and that, too
is something I can only lament as fate

evil, this world
since you’re not even allowed to live
I’d sooner destroy the future that is to come
if I do, things will at least become a little more equal

sun goes down, a dark blaze of heat
sun goes down, is better than a dream
sun goes down, now turn to dusk
sun goes down, now turn to dark

[lyrics] Yumeiro Cast – Resonance in storm

Resonance in storm – Sudo Gaku (CV: Hirakawa Daisuke)

if it’s the heart that burns and the soul that sears
then I’ll be the one to go so far ahead
that there’s nowhere left to run

there’s a briar path at my feet
and the name of these tangled thorns
is one I don’t know, don’t wanna know
so run, get out get out oh yeah

as I fight, here on my road
I just don’t think I’ll lose
to all of you who can’t catch up
reach for the distance, towards me

it’s a fight, so it’s my road
don’t go counting your sweet dreams
I don’t have time to regret a thing
‘cause I choose how I live my life

the resonance that I felt that time
the bond between you and me – let it go my way

[lyrics] Yumeiro Cast – PHANTOM RAIN

PHANTOM RAIN – Kuroki Ryosuke (CV: Furukawa Makoto), Haiba Takuma (CV: Saitou Souma), Aizawa Yutaro (CV: Suzumura Kenichi), Shiramuku Rei (CV: Yamashita Daiki), Sudo Gaku (CV: Hirakawa Daisuke)

(Kuroki) I’m reaching out but my hand won’t reach
(Kuroki) it never will
(Kuroki) this phantom rain, despair born from darkness
(Haiba) I’m searching

(Aizawa) our first meeting, which was like light
(Sudo) has been locked away, torn to pieces
(Aizawa) just what do I have left?
(Haiba) everybody go away, everybody go away

(Haiba) it’s surely something that no one can solve
(Rei) something that no one even knows about
(Aizawa) I’d said that someday this wish would come true

(Kuroki) this foolish
(Sudo) beautiful
(Kuroki) dream
(Rei) even now, though I’ve realized the truth
(Sudo) though I still want to believe that these bonds won’t break

(Kuroki) this foolish
(Sudo) beautiful
(Rei) dream
(Haiba) in this abandoned place here
(Kuroki) it’s like my very breath is going to freeze

whoa, whoa

(Haiba) it just won’t stop

(K, H, R) this foolish
(A, S) beautiful
(K, H, R) dream
(A, S) even now, though I’ve realized the truth
(all) though I still want to believe that these bonds won’t break

(K, H, R) this foolish
(A, S) beautiful
(K, H, R) dream
(A, S) in this abandoned place here
(Kuroki) it’s like my very breath is going to freeze

whoa, whoa

(Kuroki) if it could have been, if it could have been
(Kuroki) if it could have been…

[lyrics] Yumeiro Cast – NO ANSWER

After a pretty long break from using this thing, gonna be dumping a lot of Yumeiro Cast lyrics here, so just be ready for that.

NO ANSWER – Kuroki Ryosuke
(CV: Furukawa Makoto)

the light which you seek, the things you don’t know
you lose your way, they just disappear
you can’t look forward when you’re turning back
just reach for something farther ahead, ahead

a feather that fluttered along before touching down, inside me
the warmth that I felt and its meaning

running alone towards the place of my dreams
I’ve gotten too used to living in isolation
it makes me want to talk about tomorrow with –
could it be you?
that, I have no answer for

[lyrics] Aimer – LAST STARDUST

Same drill as last time – there were lyrics pronounced one way but written in another, so the parentheses are just the kanji that were used in the lyrics booklet, which tend to have slightly different meanings from what was voiced only.

LAST STARDUST
(Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works insert song
and from the DAWN album)
Aimer

vocals: aimer | lyrics: aimerrhythm | composition: 飛内将大

under a fierce downpour of rain
at the end of the dream (the ideal vision) that I’d drawn
I kept on walking, my soaked shoulders shivering

until the gaps could be filled, my small, worn-out hands
gathered up the memories that had lost their color

affection, kindness – I’m fine with throwing it all away
as long as I’ve found what I lost

even if getting hurt is the way things have to be (fate)
my heart still gives off this hue
fly high into the distance, oh last stardust
dust to dust, ash to ash
may this fragment of a wish reach its destination

a receding, passing shower; a vanishing night wind
loneliness alone lingered at my side

the justice that I’ve chosen – it’s okay if it’s all a mistake
as long as I could protect what I believed in

this glass heart, riddled with scars, lights a passion I’d begun to forget
fly high into the distance, oh last stardust
dust to dust, earth to earth
may this fragment of a wish last forevermore
(for all of eternity)

(brave shine
stay the night
stay the night
brave shine
brave shine)

even if getting hurt is the way things have to be (fate)
my heart still gives off this hue
goodbye, Judas
may you turn to ash
dust to dust
begone, toward that weakness of mine from someday

this glass heart, riddled with scars, lights a passion I’d begun to forget
fly high into the distance, oh last stardust
dust to dust, ash to ash

may this fragment of a wish last forevermore
(for all of eternity)

[lyrics] Aimer – Brave Shine

How could I resist? (Time to be stuck in loop hell forever.)

Also, there are lots of those “pronounced one way but written another” kanji things in the lyrics, so I just put the written, non-pronounced way in parentheses.

Brave Shine
(Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works OP2)
Aimer

vocals: aimer | lyrics: aimerrhythm |
composition: 小山寿 | arrangement: 玉井健二・大西省吾

I had a dream (a vision) that wouldn’t end
while the wish hidden in my left hand stayed that way – a wish

an endless rain beat down on me
at a world’s end that no one knew
whereas all that was in my right hand was an empty memory

the strength to protect what I want to protect
the weakness that makes me stop believing in it
I’ll accept it all
and search for tomorrow (the future)

brave shine
if I reach out, then still
stay the night
a night where I’m covered in wounds
you save my life
the prayer full of these built-up thoughts
before a sword raised up high
transcends time

your brave shine…

when I’ve forgotten all that shines
Sirius will remain
I saw the light of a star that won’t go out

red trajectories that passed each other by
I aimlessly wandered this night that wouldn’t break
the way a child would, one that no one knew

the weakness that made me lose what can’t be lost
the brittleness that made me stop believing in anything
even if you can’t stand any more
what has been determined (fate) keeps moving on

break down
a night where the constellations hurt each other
and their chipped-off pieces keep falling
you’re breaking dawn
within these exchanged words (promises)
I draw close a certain dream (ideal)
that supported one person alone…

if I’m to protect what I want to protect
I’ll accept it all
and search for tomorrow (the future)

I’ll break forth the dawn

brave shine
if I reach out, then still
stay the night
a night where I’m covered in wounds
you save my life
the prayer that found the light
after all of these built-up tears
transcends time

my brave shine…
