I like the lyrics.
I think I know why I'm not enjoying the new songs as much as I could be. Mainly because I don't really know the lyrics to it. And the pillows to me have always been about the lyrics. It's good that you're contributing. Thanks man.

Movement 輪郭の無い月を見てる I'm looking at a moon with no outline 雲が遮る姿に At the figure obstructed by the clouds 夢を見てた 長い夢を I was seeing a dream. A long dream 太陽より輝くその瞬間を The moment that it shines more than the sun 待ってたんだよ I was waiting for it 分かってたけど I knew but, 間に合わないかな Perhaps I won't make it in time 僕らは走り出した We started running 小さな風 生み出して Making a small wind 無言で冷淡な空 The silent, cold-hearted sky 突き抜けるまで Until we've cut across it 綺麗な夢だけ待って Holding only beautiful dreams まだ見ぬ世界描いて Drawing a world we've yet to see 進むだろう We'll move forward 紳士淑女も握手をすれば If a gentlewoman also shakes hands やがてその手は汚れる That hand also will be soiled 僕の手はポケットの中 My hands in my pocket 少年の日の自分から So that they can't be seen 見えないように By the me of my youth どうしたんだろう What happened? いつからだろう Since when? 戻れない日々 The days I can't go back to もうすぐ終わりだよって It's almost the end 悲しいセリフに酔った The sad lines made me sick 最後のため息の準備 The preparations for my last sigh やめて良いかな I wonder if it's okay to quit them? 笑われたも怯まないで Even if I'm laughed at, I won't flinch ギリギリの声を出して I'll just barely let out my voice 歌うだろう And sing 新しい台本の最終章 The last chapter of a new screenplay キミは手を Will you 握ってくれるだろうか clench your hand for me, I wonder? Hey, thinking of you 僕らは走り出した We started running 小さな風 生み出して Making a small wind 少年の見てた空 The sky the boy was looking at まだ飛べるかな I wonder if I can still fly 綺麗な夢だけ持って Holding only beautiful dreams まだ見ぬ世界描いて Drawing a world we've yet to see 進むだろう We'll move forward my forward movement |

Thanks for the translation! I've been wanting to try basic translating of some of the songs on Horn Again, but my Japanese is even weaker than it used to be and I didn't even get half way through one song before giving up  Out of curiosity, how do the instances of だろう play into the English? You translated those phrases in the future tense, so does the だろう make it kind of an uncertain future tense, like he's saying it in hopes it will be what happens? Kind of like "We WILL move forward?" Oh and if by chance you were translating more of the album and unsure of what to do next, Lily, Limp Tomorrow, or Nobody Knows would be fine choices

だろう doesn't always really translate into English, nor does it always really mean anything. A lot of times it's just added for flavor, or to vary sentence endings. It means perhaps, or maybe, or probably, or will. It's meaning depends entirely on the intonation of the speaker, to be honest. I'm teaching Japanese this quarter at UC Davis in California BTW. |

Yeah well, some of the Japanese lecturers here are a bit...well you know. I'm currently a disagreement with one of them, and it's not even with my boss. |

While we're translating Horn Again songs, how about Emerald City?
