I did not know that Kimi to Eiga had a pv. Uh, wow. That's kind of awesome! All those details I missed in the Midnight Seijo Isei pv.
Though I guess it fits with her hatred of ex-boyfriends.

Anybody know what she writes on the window in Kimi to Eiga? The first character looks like ヲ

I don't necessarily read it as a murder and it's definitely not a rotting corpse even if it is one. He's alive when he's on the porch but I guess he probably would die of hypothermia.

^I can't read it either. It fades to quickly and even when I pause the video, it's too dark.

As for the guy, if he's not dead he's at least seriously hurt, since he's just lying completely still out on the porch during the Midnight PV

Yeah, I've been there.
zactly lol, how lucky of you, i'd be willing to excommunicate a few friends for a steady girl and welcome her craziness and bossy-ness as long as she likes seafood, good music and pack me lunch every morning

Ah, you're right! Can't believe I didn't notice that.

I've been wanting to translate hayatochiri for some time now, so I finally sat down and did it. This song is a lot more abstract than I first thought, however, so I'm really not sure how accurate this translation is. I think it should give at least an idea of the meaning though.

hayatochiri

あと一手結んでる終盤戦 一步が飛びこめない中央線
こんなに長いエスカレーター こんなに長い永遠の隙に
パチパチと頭の中 何かが燃えて消えてゆく
ゆるめのゆめは容赦なく あんなに大事なイタズラだって
溺れる夕日に燃え尽きる命を重ねてセンチメンタルできるほど
やり尽きしたことなんてひとつもないのに泣いている

忘れる気持ちよさ忘れられずに
恋のはしっこにしがみつく

生まれた季節が大好きで 生まれた季節に出会った人なら
ちょっとは優しくできる気がする ちょこまか貯金をためてく

ねぇ知ってた?サブカルにすらなれない歌があるんだよ
ねぇ知ってた?アンダーグラウンドは東京にしかないんだよ
だからSEKAINOOWARIより 終わってるわたしにできること
勝ちパターンと負けたときの言い訳 告げ口のように歌ってる
告げ口のように

やわらかい中の方までやわらかい
君にもう一度さわりたい
イタくなきゃつまんないよ

いつかざまあみろっていいたい
いいたい

Jumping to conclusions

A game that will end in a tie in one move, you can't leap onto the Chuo Line with one step
Such a long escalator, in such a long gap in eternity
With a crackle, something inside my head flares up and goes out
My slow dreams are relentless, such a dear mischief
The drowning sun's fading life repeats once more, it's enough to make you sentimental
There's nothing left to be done, yet I'm still crying

Without forgetting long lost good feelings
I cling to the end of love

I love the season I was born in, if it's the person I met during that season
I feel I could be a bit more kind, restlessly I amass my savings

Hey, did you know? There's songs even the subculture can't gow accustomed to
Hey, did you know? Tokyo is the only place with an underground scene
That's why rather than the end of the world, there's something me who's at her end can do
My excuse when I broke my winning streak, I sing like a tattletale
Like a tattletale

Towards the soft center, softly
I want to touch you one more time
It's boring if it doesn't hurt

One day I want to say "It serves you right"
I want to say it

Notes:
Hayatochiri is the name of a second hand clothing store in Kouenji that Seiko likes.
In the lyrics, she spells "sekai no owari" (the end of the world) in roman letters in all caps, which is the way the band Sekai no Owari spells their name. I have no idea if it refers to them, or what it might mean, but it stuck out to me.

^ The more Pink Tokarev w/Oomori stuff I see, the more I just wanna get a proper CD from this collab. They seem to 'get' Oomori way more than Lai Lai Lai Team did (not to take from Lai Lai Lai Team, I think they're pretty great too), but man, The Pink Tokarev play off Oomori as perfectly as Yapoos played off Togawa. Totally amazing to watch the live performances. Keep getting "OMFG" moments similar to when I first watched Dynamite Out (for example) each and every-time someone links me to something I haven't watched yet.

I liked both those live renditions, and I'm glad I've finally got to hear a live version of 最終公演 since that's my favorite Oomori song, but I much prefer the original. It carries a much somber tone and more emotion. They turned it into a more upbeat song here and rocked it the hell out, which is cool, but I felt like it lost something intimate in the process.

I'd love an album with Seiko and Pink Tokarev!

One more song translation, 'cause I'm on a roll right now. This time it's Aoi Heya.

青い部屋

だまされてもかまわない 絵が描ければよかった
老人ホームでの仕事はとても気に入っていた

ごうごうともえている 言葉を知らない男
曲がり角の奥たちこめる匂い ひきずられ歩く

子供が子供を育て 子供が子供を殺め
子供が子供と子をつくる 子供だけの青い部屋
そう子供の亡骸を壁にうめて絵を描いた

僕たちは似ているね 優しさがむくんでいる
いつでも笑って暮らすのにかわいそうだと言うんだろう

子供が子供を育て 子供が子供を殺め
子供が子供と子をつくる 子供だけの青い部屋

ぼくの手をとる母親が ぼくを選ばなかったから
ぼくがぼくたちを守る ぼくたちの明るい部屋

The Blue Room

I don't mind if I'm decieved, I should have drawn a picture
I really liked my job at the old people's home

A loud man who can't speak
The smell enveloping the inside of the street corner pulls me along

Children raising children, children murdering children
Children having children with children, a blue room for only children
Yes, I hid the bodies of the children in the wall and drew a picture

The two of us are quite similar, we're bloated with kindness
Always spending our time laughing, but we're still called pitiful

Children raising children, children murdering children
Children having children with children, a blue room for only children

The mother who took my hand didn't choose me
So I'll protect us and our bright room

Notes:
  • Not too much to say about this, the lyrics are pretty straight forward this time around. Except for maybe the part about the man who can't speak and the street corner, which I'm not sure about.
  • Seiko uses "boku" in this song, which makes me think it's written from a male perspective. Possibly a young boy.
  • The chorus became a bit clunky with the repetition of the word "children", it sounds a bit more elegant in Japanese.

Ever heard Blue Room (Guitar Vet.)? It comes on a 1 track bonus CD with first press of Zettai Shoujo... And it's totally epic.
