Mahiru no Himitsu
Title: Mahiru No Himitsu (Midafternoon Secret)
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
Made to stand in the rainy garden
My hair clinging to my skin
the green bug seemed so brilliant a color
I laughed in the rainy garden
with both hands bound
and touch that skin, almost transparent.
I spun round and round and round
til my head, my eyes, they flew right off of me.
but even still, I spun and spun.
and you laugh like a pearl...
I adored the garden just after noon
the wind mild,
choking on your faint scent so like a lily.
standing in the garden just after noon
those transparent eyes,
next time it'll be I who tie you up tightly
round and round and round,
what you and I drew,
breathing our last, our eyes gone red,
we simply let these times go to waste
waiting for the vines entwined around us to dry up.
look at how much you laughed,
and how much you looked at me,
I'd never felt this satisfied before.
we locked eternity in our hearts.
lalala
the garden in midafternoon
time that seemed so transparent
the moment it stopped, we were in the light
always, always
dreaming of us drying up.
spinning spinning in the fog....
Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma
Translator's Notes: The last line might translate as "Foggy" or something else... it's a little vague. There's a very child-like sense about this song. "Made to stand..." sounds like a punishment yet how the singer enjoys it.

Aojiroi Tsuki
This song was dedicated to the memory of Chisako's brother who drowned when she was a child.
Title: Aojiroi Tsuki (Pale Moon)
Words: Mikami Chisako
Music: Mikami Chisako
When I was just a child,
My kind older brother died
but the deep sadness of the mother who bore him,
was like the sea.
That day even the wind blew gently.
The shoes he'd just bought left in disarray.
The pale moon is laughing
My icy heart has melted.
The pale moon knows the sadness of those left behind.
My brother who used to read me picture books
would soon be a star
when I was young I would look at the brightest star
and call out his name.
That day too, the light, the green, the wind, were gentle to me.
It was like nothing changed.
The pale moon is laughing.
The heart I closed off melted.
The pale moon knows the sadness of those left behind.
The pale moon is laughing.
That face shined upon laughed too.
those bruises won't go away but...
The pale moon is laughing
The pale moon knows
That pale moon was waiting for the bud in this hand to open.
If I were to follow the lines of the moon's memory,
If I could return to that day,
I would put a spring necklace made of three leaf clovers around your neck.
Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma
Translator's Notes: "Oroshita bakkari" refers to something that was just bought, clothes, shoes, etc.

三上ちさ子 （Mikami Chisako）
 三上 ちさ子（Mikami Chisako） 日本摇滚歌姬、诗人、前fra-foa乐队主音歌手。 1998年、三上ちさ子在日本仙台与高橋誠二、平塚学和佐々木康治组成摇滚乐队fra-foa。四人皆是日本东北大学学生。fra-foa这个名字并无任何含义，纯粹因为其发音予人一种“飘浮”之感，与乐队的音乐理念相近，因而得名。 2000年、fra-foa被Toy's Factory罗致旗下。首张单曲《月と砂漠》面世。 2001年2月、fra-foa首张大碟《宙の淵》面世。 2002年9月、fra-foa第二张大碟《13 leaves》面世。 2003年、因新婚不久的三上ちさ子身怀六甲，fra-foa暂停一切活动。 2004年、三上ちさ子产后复出，发行首张个人专辑《わたしはあなたの宇宙》。 2005年5月、fra-foa正式解散。 2005年10月、三上ちさ子第二张个人专辑《Here》面世。 http://www.mikamichisako.com/ Keikaku.net : Mikami Chisako interview (2005.02.10) Discography(Albums): | |

te'
Genre: Instrumental/Post-rock
如何に強大な精神や力といえども知性なくしては『無』に等しい。
言葉を用いて奏でる者は才能に在らず、ただの記憶に『過』ぎぬ。
te' live at Shibuya DUO -Music Exchange-, 30.3.2007.
思想とは我々の選ぶものを見せず、我々の好むものを『見』せる。
A thought would never let people「watch」what they choose.Instead、it let them see what they hope to see.
From If that is what is being thought,liberated sound talks the depth of「musical」world., 2006
我々は希望に従って約束をし、恐怖にかられて約束を『果』たす。
We promise with a view to hope、but the reason to「accomplish」what we promised would be fear.
te' live at Shibuya O-nest, 25.2.2006.
愛も信仰も同じ様に日々のささやかな勤行でのみ『維持』される。
From 「言葉を用いて奏でる者は才能に在らず、ただの記憶に『過』ぎぬ」(SINGLE), 2006
「それは、鳴り響く世界から現実的な音を『歌』おうとする思考。」(2nd ALBUM), 2007
01. It must be called「Intelligence」if people stop when they realize they are not able to become what they are wishing to be.
02. A thought would never let people「watch」what they choose.Instead、it let them see what they hope to see.
03. Anxiety is not about the issue.It is actually about people's「mind」related to the issue that they are afraid of.
04. A varice would speak with every word、it「acts」every part and it even pretends to be not avaricious.
05. A real「imitation」is the imitation that let people see ridiculousness of boring original one.
06. It is supposed to be「ordinary」that imagination moves much faster and more freely than bright light in the darkness.
07. 「Existence」of eloquence is only in a look of people's face that remain silence、and it even beats any kind of words.
08. Anger kills all the idiots、and envy would torture foolish people and all the「instants」being involved.
09. We promise with a view to hope、but the reason to「accomplish」what we promised would be fear.
10. A reality that people are living in this world is a lot「more」complicated than fantasy-land that they imagine.
Bonus Tracks:
11. Courtesy is considered as a「farce」if there are no honesty and reality.
12. Break the「heart」to what is actually being told instead of asking who said that.

「それは、鳴り響く世界から現実的な音を『歌』おうとする思考。」 2nd ALBUM 2007/9/12 RELEASE Label: Zankyo Record (Japan) | 01.如何に強大な精神や力といえども知性なくしては『無』に等しい。 02.美しき旋律も、音を語る言を持たずしては心にも『留』めがたし。 03.愛も信仰も同じ様に日々のささやかな勤行でのみ『維持』される。 04.明日を最も必要としないものが、最も快く明日に立ち『向』かう。 05.大胆は無知と卑劣の子であって、他の資格よりはるかに『劣』る。 06.言葉を用いて奏でる者は才能に在らず、ただの記憶に『過』ぎぬ。 07.節度と正義は、ただ優者のみが勝手に利用しうる『名目』である。 08.心は正しい目標を欠いてしまうと偽りの方向にはけ口を『作』る。 09.何らの苦しみにもあわずして、何人をも幸福とは『呼』ぶなかれ。 10.人間とは理性によって自己自身を破壊する能力を『有』している。 |
