Lyrics and Translations (Studio48)

It is RODAN, indeed, but maybe it'd be a good idea to put it as a note, in case someone decides to translate the lyric but gets stuck at "what is that Rodan thing"

 

I guess just like @natsunishi said it's an artist who builds sculptures

Yep, I can. Maybe note it as: *RODAN (Rodin) refers to the French sculptor Auguste Rodin who's the creator of the monumental sculptural group The Gates of Hell. This sculptural group is mostly made out of bronze and contains such pieces as The Kiss or The Thinker/The Thinking Man

The lyrics goes like this, roughly, so it indeed refers to him and his works

Was it Dante?
Or Rodin?
Don't you know?
Ask the bronze statue(s) about it
A couple in a painful love?
Or some bystander?
You don't have to brace the statue

EDIT: I gave it a try. Not the best but I'm sure there'll be someone who'd correct it, or, who puts up a better translation. It's just another case when the lyrics has nothing to do with the PV at all lol

Kangaeru Hito (The Thinker*)

Spoiler

Is the poet talking about a dream?
Or does it look into the hell?
My role here is wobbling

"I want our glances to meet"
Is would be what I'd want when I die
People are so selfish
And I'm just unable to decide

Whatever I was
Choosing
Like happy or so...
I was never sure

Was it Dante?
Or Rodin?*
Don't you know at all?
Ask the bronze statue about it*
A painful love of a couple?*
Or a bystander?
You don't have to rest your chin on your hand

What is love
Nobody knows it
And nobody will
Tell the truth

The two women
Who hugged at the same time
Only to hurt each other
With gentle lies

Imagine yourself?
In others' affairs?
Could you do that?
This is before our heaven...
Is this the future or fantasy?
At the entrance of the hell
Is where we throw our hopes away

Was it Dante?
Or Rodin?
Don't you know at all?
Ask the bronze statue about it*
A painful love of a couple?*
Or a bystander?
You don't have to rest your chin on your hand

and the note: *RODAN (Rodin) refers to the French sculptor Auguste Rodin who's the creator of the monumental sculptural group The Gates of Hell, based on Dante's Inferno. This sculptural group is mostly made out of bronze and contains such pieces as The Kiss or The Thinker/The Thinking Man

 

About the Rodan/Rodin thing, if anyone's curious, the reason for the discrepancy is that in French although it's written Rodin it's prounouced Rodan. The katakana is going by the pronounciation rather than the spelling.

It's actually somewhere between an "a" and "e". Dunno, tho, it was a while ago when I had my last French class xD

 

Yeah, you're right, but I felt like trying to explain that would end up confusing everyone and myself lol

Yep this is why, there have been other instances of this specifically relating to French art in 48G lyrics before. One example is Sasshi/Tkmn song Dessan (french spelling is dessin) and DOGA to Ballerina (DOGA of course being Degas). The Japanese have their own pronunciation of foreign words which is almost always reflected in the songs' lyrics because ultimately it's most important that the target audience recognize the words. Romanization is fun

Tsubasa wa Iranai ("I Don't Need Wings")

Spoiler

If I had wings
I would fly through the sky
Caught up in wondering
Where I should go...

Riding the wind
I would traverse the clouds
Though I don't yet know
Where I'm heading now

But even if I can't fly
I'll simply travel by walking
There's no rush
Happiness is out there waiting

I don't need wings
It's enough that I have dreams
With my feet planted firmly on the ground
I'll slowly make my way forward

If I grew wings
I would become free
Going wherever I please
All my wishes would come true

Even without knowing what's up ahead
I wouldn't have any worries
I'd be soaring high above
All the unpleasant things before me

So then why is it
That I'd rather be walking?
While I'm exerting myself
I'm coming ever closer to happiness

I don't need wings
Because I have hope
If I meet sadness along the way
My determination will keep me going

The birds in the sky
Look down upon us
And think
How splendid it is
That they don't
Have wings

Even if I can't fly through the sky
I'm fine because I can walk
All I need to be happy
Are the things I have now
I don't need wings
I like the way I am
Heading towards the distant road
I walk in my dreams

I walk in my dreams

Aishuu no Trumpeter ("Sorrowful Trumpeter")

Spoiler

In an old-time cabaret
A woman in a purple dress
Takes a seat
Among the cigar smoke

She seems fed up
With the haughty customers
Even opening a bottle of Petrus
Brings only a false smile

Before the whispers she closes her ears to start
Isn't it about time
To begin tonight's hunt?
(Mister, mister, come over here)
It's a game of love

The sorrowful brass
Rings out
The person she loved
Is the bandsman
As she turns her gaze my way
The trumpet resounds
In a forlorn solo part
His moving fingers
Recalling what happened last night

The black-suited guests
Are extravagant with the chips
Acting like they're bigshots
Though they're all varlets

She tells me what she's called
But it doesn't please me
Her true name
Is hidden behind layers of makeup

The mirrorball starts spinning
When she invites me out to the hall
I find I can't refuse
(Mister, mister, come over here)
So distant and formal

The sorrowful brass
Presses against my heart
Fleetingly her eyes meet mine
The bandsman
Inflates his cheeks in response
And plays out his dreams
Like he's shouting his love
His moistened lips
Recalling what happened last night

It's a secret between the two of them
With such a sexy timbre
Tonight will be special like that...
(Mister, mister, get lost)
The same as he has

The sorrowful brass
Rings out
The person she loved
Is the bandsman
As she turns her gaze my way
The trumpet resounds
In a forlorn solo part
His moving fingers
Recalling what happened last night

Koi wo suru to baka wo miru ("Love Makes Fools of Us")

Spoiler

AAAAA
AAAAA
WOW WOW
AAAAA
AAAAA
YEAH! YEAH!

I suddenly came across (wait a sec! wait a sec!)
A girl who looked like you (it can't be you! it can't be you!)
She was arm in arm with someone (having fun, having fun)
An oblivious couple flirting with each other

AAAAA
AAAAA
YEAH! YEAH!

You said you had a cold (wait a sec! wait a sec!)
That you were gonna stay home (it can't be you! it can't be you!)
So why is there a guy (this is weird, this is weird)
Walking together with you here?

"Just give up on her"
People whispered to me (but I believed in you)
No matter what rumors I heard
I couldn't believe they were true
Because you are...
(Special to me)

Love makes fools of us, doesn't it?
It was all true and I'm in trouble now, eh?
I learned this long ago
So I wonder why history keeps repeating
(AAAA)
Love makes fools of us, doesn't it?
Though we get hurt, we keep dreaming, don't we?
It was my own fault for falling in love

AAAAA
AAAAA
WOW WOW
AAAAA
AAAAA

Our eyes meet (self-consciously, self-consciously)
I finally realize it's you (what are you doing? what are you doing?)
The guy next to you (who and from where? who and from where?)
Ah, this is really happening, huh?

Advice about women
Might be scathing (but it's spot-on)
I might have had just a tiny inkling
Of a bad feeling about it
But even so, it was fine...
(I fell in love)

When you love someone, you get hurt
You're at a disadvantage when you get too involved
No matter how many times it happens
Guys never learn
(AAAA)
When you love someone, you get hurt
You deny having any suspicion of them
But even so, I was in the wrong for loving you

I got the wrong person (it wasn't you)
Just someone who looked like you
I convince myself of that alone (as I walk)
Yes, nothing has changed
Even still, I...
(AAAAA)

Love makes fools of us, doesn't it?
It was all true and I'm in trouble now, eh?
I learned this long ago
So I wonder why history keeps repeating
(AAAA)
Love makes fools of us, doesn't it?
Though we get hurt, we keep dreaming, don't we?
It was my own fault for falling in love

Because I love you, I accept my foolishness

AAAAA
AAAAA
WOW WOW
AAAAA
AAAAA
YEAH! YEAH!

AAAAA
AAAAA
WOW WOW
AAAAA
AAAAA
YEAH! YEAH!

 

Found a mistake in BwT's lyrics.

"bokutachi wa tatakawanai
ashita wo shinjiteru"
is wrong
"bokutachi wa tatakawanai
asu wo shinjiteru"
is correct.

 

For JKT I would say indonesian and then romanji, the same with SNH Pinyin and then romanji. (The actual song name then the the romanji version and then the english just like with all japanese songs. )

Edit: Added Hiwatashi Yui to TwI

 

I think you forgot Hiwatashi. She's singing with Sayaya, Yamada, Katomina, & Oya

And i think Kimi wa Doko ni Iru?'s color code needs revision. Nishigata & Tano are missing. Nishigata's singing with Honma & Nakai, and Tano's singing with Yamada & Sato

And the stage version & single version are basically the same with addition if Yukirin singing with Ogino & Seiji
