Tempalay-Sonatine Eng lost light 2019-11-25 | It took 6 weeks to translate this song. I asked at least 5 of my Japanese friends to help me. They all said the song is not supposed to make sense but it's one of those vibey songs that's nice to listen to. Not a song with a deep message. So because of that it became less stressful to translate I learned you can't always extract meaning from every song. Sometimes its about the groove.

amazarashi- ill buy you a new crown lost light 2026-07-27 | This is amazarashi's new songIt was hard to translate this song because of how deep it was.Those of you who have lost someone...WARNING: You will cry
amazarashi-ghost eng sub lost light 2025-11-09 | I expected something much darker at first, but true to amazarashi’s style, the song turns out to be quietly hopeful. Proof that you should never judge a title by its cover.Enjoy!
amazarashi-onnaji dokuro eng lost light 2025-11-09 | Hiromu really dives deep here. If we’re all gonna end up as bones anyway, might as well make it count. Seeing life like that actually makes it feel worth it.Enjoy!

Novelbright-Walking With You Eng Sub lost light 2025-11-09 | I recently came across the singer Yudai Takenaka on a Korean singing show and turns out he was Novelbright's vocalist. I've been enamored with his powerful and resonating voice ever since. Enjoy!
amazarashi-Dounatatte eng lost light 2025-09-19 | I loved translating this song—it was deeply comforting, like being wrapped in a hug. To me, it’s the ultimate comfort song and one of the reasons I love amazarashi so much. They create music for every state of mind, and their more hopeful, encouraging songs never fail to bring such warmth.Enjoy!
amazarashi-Unalive Eng lost light 2025-09-19 | This song took me an unbelievable amount of time to translate—by far the hardest amazarashi song I’ve tackled in my seven years of doing this. IT TOOK 4 MONTHS! I couldn’t figure out why it was so difficult, and I kept putting it off week after week. Eventually, I realized I needed to stop translating so literally and instead focus on capturing the heart of the message. That’s when I decided to approach it more like a poem.I must’ve listened to this song around 55 times, and each time it felt different—like it was carrying a new meaning I couldn’t quite grasp. But I didn’t give up. Somewhere around the 40th listen (lol), the message finally revealed itself to me.For me, this song speaks about existing in the fragile space between life and death, and finding the strength to endure through creation and expression. It portrays someone burdened by trauma, regret, and a deep sense of powerlessness—yet through art and words, they discover how to transform that pain into meaning. Beautiful as always Hiromu.*A Möbius that loopsRefers to the Möbius strip, a symbol of infinity, endless looping, no clear division between inside and outside.
amazarashi-Shoushimin eng sub lost light 2025-08-09 | This song was tough to translate—I kept getting stuck on certain phrases, unsure if they were meant literally or metaphorically. It took me two months to work through it!This song is from their new album GhostIt carries a fiercely revolutionary, independent spirit, like the soundtrack to a parade of revolt—with ordinary citizens caught in the crosshairs of greed, forced to bear the weight of a broken society. I love that Hiromu also calls out the hypocrisy of those who brand themselves as revolutionaries or moralists—people who preach about change and doing better, yet end up betraying their own principles and acting against the very ideals they claim to stand for. The feeling it gave me was, “Let’s rise and stand together.” Kakumei no Uta—A Song of Revolution, which is what the red, black, and white represent.*小市民イーアShoushimin means ordinary citizen or average personSo the title can roughly be "Ordinary Citizen Battle Cry"ENJOY!
amazarashi Shūyōshitsu Eng lost light 2025-07-09 | Shūyōshitsu means "detention room" but can also be "confinement."This song says:"I grew up shut off from the world—lonely, ashamed, and numb. I didn’t know what I was missing or how trapped I was. I hated myself and thought no one cared. But then, something—someone—reached me. Through that voice, I started to feel seen. It didn’t fix everything, but it gave me a reason to keep going. And that voice was Music.Beautiful as always, Hiromu! Yes, all songs will be translated. Thanks for your patience. Enjoy
amazarashi-nightmare eng sub lost light 2025-05-20 | I’m excited to share that I’ve partnered with an editor who’s not only a longtime amazarashi fan but also a dedicated subscriber. He truly understands the spirit of the band and will be handling the visual animation and text for our translations.Together, we’ll be working on translating amazarashi’s latest album, Ghost.Nightmare wasn't as hard to translate as I thought; it reiterated a sense of panic and instability throughout the chorus, which I really liked. Hiromu sings about feeling like this world that lacks compassion is a destructive force ("a nightmare"), confronting inner demons, and craving connection and meaning in a chaotic and uncaring world.Huge thanks to Adam for joining this project!🎞️ Visual Animation & Text: @popdishead on Instagram

amazarashi 命にふさわしい worthy of life eng lost light 2024-09-19 | Hiromu explores themes of profound personal struggle and the search for meaning in the face of loss and betrayal. It conveys a deep sense of enduring pain and the complexity of human emotions. The lyrics reflect a journey of grappling with what’s been lost and the paradoxical idea that even loss can hold value or truth. There’s a sense of resignation but also a hopeful desire for something transformative or redemptive, as if finding worth in all experiences.This was a 9/10 difficulty to translate. My gawd.I came across a live version of the song and loved it. The studio version is just as powerful, but nothing beats raw, live vocals.Enjoy!
Ozaki Yutaka-Shelly Eng lost light 2024-09-19 | Here's my favorite song by the legendary Ozaki Yutaka. This song has always deeply resonated with me.

Please credit me.Enjoy
Saucy Dog 魔法が解けたら Eng sub When the Magic Fades lost light 2024-09-10 | Been a while since I translated Saucy Dog but this song's melody was too catchy to pass up.幸せに」って他人事みたいだでもそれで良いんだThe singer is expressing a feeling of distance, almost like they’ve become an outsider or stranger in the other person’s life. The phrase "幸せに" (be happy) is something happy to say, but its said impersonally now, as if the person's happiness is no longer their concern or responsibility. This song conveys an emotional distance and acceptance, and once I got this line down, I understood the entire nuance of the song. This is why I love Japanese songs.Crazy how that one line had me in a tizzy for quite a while until i put myself in the singers shoes.I had fun editing this and speaking to emotionEnjoy!
amazarashi-下を向いて歩こう walking with our heads down eng sub lost light 2024-09-10 | This sound has a self-deprecating or resigned tone to it, yet it holds onto hope.The song portrays a deeply personal journey of self-discovery and resilience amid struggle. It reflects on past failures and ongoing challenges, highlighting a sense of isolation and ridicule. Despite moments of progress and pride, Hiromu acknowledges that security and arrogance won’t lead the way forward.The song embraces the idea of using one’s unique traits and imperfections as sources of strength. It contrasts fleeting aspirations with the harsh realities of life, ultimately accepting that life isn’t a movie but a series of genuine experiences. It's a message of perseverance and finding meaning in one’s struggles, even when faced with negativity and self-doubt.The lyrics he mentions past work, he's talking about a previous book/page in his life. He's making a metaphor, or "Oh yeah, solving this issue was in the last booK'.Enjoy!
Upiko-Murderer Eng sub lost light 2024-09-10 | Upiko boldly confronts the perpetrators and cruel tormentors in this intense, heartbreaking, and eye-opening song. I really love songs that tackle heavy and dark topics. (Hence why I love amazarashi). I tried to play with the text to be in synch with her powerful vocals and intensity.Upiko has a haunting voice with a deep resonance that is perfect for this song that talks about online bullying and the consequences.Check her out. Will definitely be translating more of her stuff.Enjoy

amazarashi-Diaster eng lost light 2024-02-12 | Wow, what a fast song! Be sure to read quickly.Took 2 weeks to translate, edit, and paraphrase.Notes:There's an ironic and rebellious tone to the song and lyrics.This song had a lot of “eat shit” “Fk you” language in it. A very “IDGAF” kind of attitude and vibe to the lyrics and melody.笑えてくるぜ 笑えてくるぜくるぜ-is a very slangish term/impolite/vulgar way of speaking which is why I translated it to its gonna make me fking laugh as a way to catch the irony of life.Enjoy!

This song reminded me of walking in the snow.If you'd like to use my translations to translate into another language, feel free. Just credit me.Enjoy!Hi, I'm lost light. I translate Japanese music because I love it and it deserves more attention.I do not translate word by word, literal by literal; otherwise, I would not be able to capturethe essence of a song.

All I want is to conveythe artist’s philosophy & emotion.

amazarashi-Antimony Eng lost light 2023-03-08 | Long time no translateThere was no way I wasn't going to translate their new single.In a nutshell, Antimony means contradiction, so if you can replace it with that the song makes a lot more sense.I always learn something new about humanity from Hiromu's lyrics.Enjoy!
amazarashi -Cassiopeia Eng lost light 2022-08-23 | These lyrics are very intricate and complex. Took a whole month to translate because I just wasn't sure.

hakubi-shiori eng lost light 2022-07-09 | I found a new editing program to edit this video and didn't really like the results. I thought I should experiment with how I edit, but I think I'll stick to my regular program for now.That's why there are a little bit of mistakes with the transitions. I'm not a perfectionist so it is what it is.I haven't translated hakubi in quite a while. This song was supposed to be out a few months ago but life distracted me...like it always does. Really love the rhythm and lyrics to this song. Anyways, enjoy Hakubi!!
SPYAIR What is Love Eng lost light 2022-06-15 | SPYAIR is a rock band that I don't think gets enough credit.I found them through Haikyuu! opening and ending songs and their music is consistent and heartfelt.

I could not put the pieces of the song together and kept translating too literally so I had help from several sites, people, and sources. FINALLY I was able to find to find the expressions I was seeking.Wow, this song is kind of heartbreaking and as someone named lost light, I can completely resonate with this song.Not having a place to belong and being plagued by fears of the future and doubt is a very scary time. Yet some people have the audacity to say"Ah, youth" How dare they..is what Hiromu meant in a nutshell.and if I don't fit in this world, at the end of the day I'll still have the last laugh So don't cry cause it will be okay.Enjoy!

amazarashi-How to Make a B*mb lost light 2022-02-27 | As we are in a war, I used the asterisk for the title because of the sensitivity.Hiromu uses 虚無的なイデオロギー nihilistic ideology but for the sake of simplicity I translated it into cynical ideology.Other words are depressive, fatalistic, or lawless.Nihilistic-rejecting all religious and moral principles in the belief that life is meaningless.I though the Promised Neverland manga fit this song perfectly.Enjoy

amazarashi-Kyokaisen Eng lost light 2021-11-13 | Kyokaisen means borderline残像-zanzou means afterimage, but to translated it to relic because of the war connotation this song has. It also means ghost or shadow of the past* reverberation* is the shaking and echoing effect that you hear after a loud sound has been madeWOW-what a message! New song from amazarashi, yay!Very difficult to translate. Idk why Hiromu is using old-fashioned Japanese expressions in this song, but they caught me in a tizzy for a while lol I eventually figured it out though. The setting of this song is on a battlefield/ war zone and it really pulls at your heartstrings. Every amazarashi song provokes ideas of humanity and the meaning of human suffering. They always make us think about our own actions.Are we accomplices to the suffering of others and can we take that accountability? Can we forgive ourselves for our own actions?I did cry a few times while translating this.Watch the MV with these lyrics and the song will hit even harder Enjoy!

Finally, I feel content. What a whirlwind this song was. I'm used to amazarashi talking about social issues and using complex words, but this had more political vocabulary that I wasn't familiar with. This song will get stuck in your head pretty easily lol be sure to follow amazarashi if you love their music!amazarashi YoutTube: youtube.com/user/amazarashiSMEJEnjoy!
