【Requested by Tasos Vozikas】
きのこ帝国 – Girl meets NUMBER GIRL
閉ざす窓を開けてバスを揺らすよ
耳を通って脳に青が刺さる
沈む水の底へ妄想になすべなく
past timeいつの間にか終点が始点になる
tozasu mado o akete basu o yurasu yo
mimi o tootte nou ni ao ga sasaru
shizumu mizu no soko e mousou ni na subenaku
past time itsu no ma ni ka shuuten ga shiten ni naru
The air inside the bus starts flowing as I open its shutted window
The azure color sticks to my brain passing through my ears
Without any control, my daydreams sink down the abyss
Past time – before I realized it, the end became the starting point
壊せ365日白けた通学路
遅れたバスん中息を殺して
走れ突っ切って脳ハウれ青の音と
揺らせかき乱せそれだけ待っていた
kowase sanbyakurokujuugo-nichi shiraketa tsuugaku-ro
okureta basunnaka iki o koroshite
hashire tsukkitte nou haure ao no oto to
yurase kaki midase sore dake matteita
Destroy the annual fading-away street towards the school –
I stop my breath inside the delayed bus I’m in
Running away from it with a blue sound howling in my brain
I was just waiting for it to come, to sway me away and disturb my thoughts
髪が風を纏って
鼻の奥がすん、てした
kami ga kaze o matotte
hana no oku ga sun, teshita
The scent of your hair tied up to the wind
It was, and still is fresh in my mind
変わってゆく景色のなか
はやくTake me away Take me away
はやくはやくはやく連れ去って
kawatte yuku keshiki no naka
hayaku Take me away Take me away
hayaku hayaku hayaku tsuresatte
Inside this constantly changing scenery
Take me away, take me away, right now
Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up and take me away
壊れそうで壊れない日々
何度も繰り返し繰り返して
青い青い青い青い空
kowaresou de kowarenai hibi
nando mo kurikaeshi kurikaeshite
aoi aoi aoi aoi sora
I’m repeating over and over and over, countless times
All these fragile days I can’t destroy
Under this blue, blue, blue, blue sky
染まる滲む色が溢れる
静かに奥で心が叫ぶ
捨てる拾うなくすみつける
気付く忘れない変わらず覚えている
somaru nijimu iro ga afureru
shizuka ni oku de kokoro ga sakebu
suteru hirou nakusu mitsukeru
kidzuku wasurenai kawarazu oboeteiru
This heart oozing thousands overflowing colors
Is silently screaming deep down inside me –
Throwing away things and picking them up, losing them to find them
Aware of them so I won’t forget – remembering them so they won’t change
髪が風を纏って
君のことを思い出した
バスに揺られて、あの日の
kami ga kaze o matotte
kimi no koto o omoidashita
basu ni yurarete, ano hi no
I just remembered about you,
And about the scent of your hair tied up to the wind,
As the moving bus rustled them on that day –
あの日の自分は未だにここに居るよ
だから Take me away Take me away
遠く遠く遠くどこまでも
ano hi no jibun wa imada ni koko ni iru yo
dakara Take me away Take me away
tooku tooku tooku doko made mo
You know, the “myself” from that day is still here
So take me away, take me away
No matter where, just somewhere far, far, far away
こんなにも世界は単純だ
悩んでも悔やんでも
青い青い青い青い空
konna ni mo sekai wa tanjun da
nayande mo kuyande mo
aoi aoi aoi aoi sora
The world is just that simple, nothing more
Even if you’d be worried or full of regrets
The sky will always stay blue, blue, blue, blue
閉ざす窓を開けてバスを揺らすよ
耳を通って脳に青が刺さる
tozasu mado o akete basu o yurasu yo
mimi o tootte nou ni ao ga sasaru
The air inside the bus starts flowing as I open its shutted window
And a blueness sticks to my brain passing through my ears

Notes:
– The title for this song seems to refer to a japanese pop-punk band called Number Girls, dismantled in 2002. (Source)
– The first three stanzas of the song have some complex words / weird sentences in them, so I’m not really sure about their translation. Expecially the “sun – teshita” on the third stanza. I added the implied word “scent” and avoided used the word “nose” (鼻) to make the translation sound better.

It is finally here! Thank you sooo much! You don’t know how happy you just made me after reading the lyrics! 😀
Glad you apreciated 🙂
This was the first kinoko teikoku song I’ve got requested, I’m happy to know that people who enjoy this band found out about my wordpress! I hope to translate more from them in the future 🙂
I found you from a youtube comment actually. I’m also learning japanese but I’m still on the beginner stage…I’m hoping to reach your level sometime in the future though :).
I will also stick around for some new Kinoko Teikoku translations!
Thanks for you words and best of luck for your studies and projects! 😀
Feel free to ask me anything you want, if you want to 🙂
Sorry for not replying quickly…I shared some of your work before I requested a song here but I mentioned your name and site in that comment. Here’s the link if you need me to take it down if you are not okay with it. (Forgot that I had to tell you that in the first place ^ ^ )
