Sometimes, You Read A Book And It Fills You With This Weird Evangelical Zeal, And You Become Convinced

Sometimes, you read a book and it fills you with this weird evangelical zeal, and you become convinced that the shattered world will never be put back together unless and until all living humans read the book.

“Past, present, and future… These are the three pillars that have kept time from collapsing into an endless paradox.”

Don’t be fooled by the boyish appearance and quiet personality—this Musicart possesses a wisdom well beyond their physical age. Though they usually keep to themselves and rarely show interest in others, most peers have come to respect (and fear) their keen foresight and time-stopping abilities.

I Want to Know Classical Music in Detail! (anime ver.)

illustration series by Yamamichi Yuka

It's been a while after I last post a translation here, but I've been doing this illustration series about Takt op. Destiny's Musicarts and their respective composers!

Yup, I translate, clean, and typeset all of these on my own (●´⌓`●) But I love how these turned out so this can be a great educational post for Takt op. fans who wants to know about the classical music background on this series! I hope you enjoy!

I also had a compiled twitter thread of this too so go HERE for the thread!

Weight of the World/Kowareta Sekai no Uta

Keiichi Okabe ft. Marina Kawano

English translation by @why-raven

Disappearing salvation Terminated body Even now, the sky is still dark

The stopped time The silent machines That my voice can’t reach

This is my curse The depth of the sins I’ve committed Even with my corrupted soul I’ll still redeem your wish

And so, right now Ah, even if it’s worthless, we still cry out That song of a broken world And so, right now Ah, even if it’s meaningless, we still hope Only for a future with you Until the loving smile from that day disappears…

Overflowing greenery Wasted lives Even now, the wind is still far away

Peeling rust Twisted blade In the forest where death lurks

This is my curse The pain of killing a promise With the final dream I threw away I’ll still atone for your wish

And so, right now Ah, even if it’s worthless, we still cry out The love for this corrupted world And so, right now Ah, even if it’s meaningless, we still hope Only for a time together with you Until the drowning consciousness disappears gently…

And so, right now Ah, even if it’s worthless, we still cry out That song of a broken world And so, right now Ah, even if it’s meaningless, we still hope Only for a future with you

And so, right now Ah, even if it’s worthless, we still cry out The love for this corrupted world And so, right now Ah, even if it’s meaningless, we still hope Only for a time together with you

Even if my prayers won’t grant me forgiveness, I…

消えゆく救い 途絶えるカラダ 空は今も暗く

止まった時計 鳴らない機械 声届かなくて

これが僕の呪い 犯した罪の深さが キミの願い 穢れた魂抱く贖いだけど

そう僕らは今 ああ、無価値でも叫ぶ あの壊レタ世界ノ歌 そう僕らは今 ああ、無意味でも願う ただ君との未来を あの日の笑顔は愛しいまま消えて…

溢れる緑 零れる命 風は今も遠く

剥がれる錆び とうごめく刃 死が潜む森に

これが僕の呪い 約束殺す痛みが キミの願い 最後の夢を捨てた償いだけど

そう僕らは今 ああ、無価値でも叫ぶ この汚れた世界の愛 そう僕らは今 ああ、無意味でも願う ただキミとの時間を 溺れた意識は優しいまま消えて…

そう僕らは今 ああ、無価値でも叫ぶ あの壊レタ世界ノ歌 そう僕らは今 ああ、無意味でも願う ただ君との未来を

そう僕らは今 ああ、無価値でも叫ぶ この汚れた世界の愛 そう僕らは今 ああ、無意味でも願う ただキミとの時間を

祈りが赦しを得られずとも 僕は…

Rinne —Reincarnation— (acoustic ver.)

V.W.P. (Virtual Witch Phenomenon)

English translation by @why-raven

You think you’re a god? Is this a divine punishment? I’m not at your mercy

A future that will change And friends that won’t Intersecting thoughts that never go well

Flashbacks of despair I can’t keep reliving this

Everything I once threw away I came here to get it back I want to protect it all And lose nothing Before this fever fades into the haze Theories of hope are reborn

When I open my eyes To find myself in a similar world My knees are shaking

Escape is not an option A crumbling world lies before me

Flashbacks of intention Humanity comes to a standstill Despair rumbles from within

Everything I once threw away I came here to get it back I can’t lose it all again I’ve been burning with rage Don’t feel pity for me Theories of hope on repeat

I’m tired of saying goodbye If I have face it again, I will

Things I’ve lost that day I came here to get them back The soul is undressed There’s nowhere left to run Call me a fool for my ignorance But I still believe in hope

If I’m reborn again and again I’ll seize the future

神様のつもりか？ 天罰のつもりか？ 言いなりになんてなるか

変わりゆく未来と 変わらない仲間と どうにもうまくいかない交差する思考

フラッシュバックする絶望 繰り返すままじゃいられない

一度捨てたもの 全て取り戻すためにここに来た 守りたいものばかりだ 全て失ってたまるか この熱が霞(かすみ)に消える前に 希望論は輪廻する

目を覚ませばそこは 同じような世界 膝が震えている

退場は許されない 目の前に広がる ボロボロに朽ちた世界

フラッシュバックする意向 人類は立ち止まる 絶望が腹を鳴らす

一度捨てたもの 全て取り戻すためにここに来た 二度と失ってたまるか 怒りで身を焦がしてきた 哀れだって思わないでくれ 希望論を繰り返せ

さよならはいい飽きた 繰り返すなら何度でも 立ち向かうさ

あの日こぼれ落ちたものを 取り戻すためにここに来た 魂は着飾らないもう どこにも逃げやしない わからずやだと馬鹿にしてくれ それでも希望を信じている

輪廻するなら何度でも 未来を　掴み取れ
