asgjdslkafjskldfs I fucking love Leo Imai, I love his songs (especially lately); he's way too underrated. I'm going to translate more of his stuff but for now, here's a quick one ~~that last line is still bothering me~~

kanji
All I've got is a feeling I'm born to lose /
I forgot all my lines, and I missed my cues
All I say is misunderstood anyway /
So these days I shut up, and I hope and pray

My optimistic rush will come around soon enough
The ice will soon be crushed, so push your love

Don't give a damn what they all say
I am my own and if there's a price I have to pay, I'll pay
So why don't you all move out of the way
Back up, come on, your rush is on its way
Get up, come on, you might get one today

どうだった、振り返ってみて？ / 折れた絆を辿って
何を求めてたんだろう？ / 君を犠牲にする程

色褪せ時の別れと出会い
霜枯れ時と共に

君は戻らないけど、夢でそっと / 僕の背後にいて、いて
背骨を押し続け / 失うものも無くて
俄かなるラッシュ感じて

愛は戻らないけど、僕はそっと / 君の為にだけ、だけ
歌を口ずさんで / 美しすぎる全て
唄い尽くす終わりまで
俄かなるラッシュ感じて

dou datta? furikaete mite? oreta kizuna wo tadotte
nani wo motometetan darou? kimi wo ginsei ni suru hodo

iroase toki no wakare to deai
shimogare toki totomo ni

kimi wa modorenai kedo
yume de sotto
boku no haigo ni ite, ite
sebone wo oshi tsudzuke
ushinau mono mo nakute
niwaka naru rasshu wo kanjite

ai wa modorenai kedo
boku wa sotto
kimi no tame ni dake, dake
uta wo kuchizususande
utsukushii sugiru subete
utai sukusu owari made
niwaka naru rasshu wo kanjite

How did it feel to look back on your life?
You broke your bonds
And what did you find?
I made you the scapegoat

Meetings and farewells; both fade with time
When they're stung with frost

You're never coming back
But in my dreams
Softly you'll appear, appear behind me
And keep shoving me onward
I lost you
And I suddenly feel the rush

Love is never coming back
But I'm quietly
Humming a song for you, only you
Everything that's too beautiful
I'll sing its praises until the end
I suddenly feel the rush
