「Azuki & Matcha」Bittersweet (Lyric Video)【VOCALOID Original】

Описание: So this was basically an experiment with making Japanese-only voicebanks sing in understandable English, and I think it was mostly successful!

The full lyrics, for those interested:

[Azuki]
Summer’s welling up in my white-bloused chest
I’m popping bubblegum as I write this test
Sneaking a glance so you’ll catch my gaze
Waiting for careless dog days

[Matcha]
Autumn’s far away but it feels so near
I wonder, will we be here again next year?
Trying to live in the present, but
[Azuki & Matcha]
Can’t help wishing for good luck

[Azuki]
It’s true
Us two
We stick together like red bean mochi
[Matcha]
But this
Feeling
[Azuki & Matcha]
It’s bittersweet!

[Azuki]
Learning the ways of the world
[Matcha]
Come over, stay for the weekend
[Azuki]
Isn’t this normal for girls?
[Matcha]
Because we’re best friends
[Azuki]
Why am I wishing for more?
[Matcha]
Her lips are wet from the warm ice cream
[Azuki]
Smile and leave it alone
[Matcha]
Don’t want to wreck this

[Azuki & Matcha]
Wrapping over my heart
Pink and green cellophane
Pretty, but growing tart
Bittersweet love is all I taste

[Matcha]
Winter’s blowing over my red-flushed face
But I’ll keep on the quickest way to your place
[Azuki]
Watch out the window like a caged bird
You’ll make the whole day better

[Azuki & Matcha]
Spending time with you in the springtime glow
Walking, talking about where our lives will go
Ignoring all of the impulses
To lock our hands together

[Matcha]
It’s true
We two
Belong together like cake and green tea
[Azuki]
But this
Feeling
[Azuki & Matcha]
It’s bittersweet!

[Matcha]
Pushing desires aside
[Azuki]
Come over, stay for the weekend
[Matcha]
Keeping them sealed and twist-tied
[Azuki]
Because we’re best friends
[Matcha]
Though I’m still wishing for more
[Azuki]
Her lips are begging to say something
[Matcha]
This is as far as it goes
[Azuki]
But we won’t wreck this

[Azuki & Matcha]
Wrapping over my heart
Pink and green cellophane
Pretty, but growing tart
Bittersweet love is all I taste

[Azuki]
There must be something really wrong with me
[Azuki & Matcha]
Try to drop it but I can’t
[Azuki]
What’s so bad about loving somebody?
[Azuki & Matcha]
Even though you’re not a man

[Matcha]
Heartrate rising with our proximity
[Azuki & Matcha]
Locking eyes, thoughts spiraling
[Matcha]
Parted lips that want to speak desperately
[Azuki & Matcha]
“Let me be your everything”

[Azuki]
Can’t hold it back anymore
[Matcha]
Bursting with candied affection
[Azuki]
You are the one I adore
[Matcha]
Fearing rejection
[Azuki]
But if you don’t feel the same
[Matcha]
Maybe I’m just reading way too deep
[Azuki]
I’ll just keep staying contained
[Matcha]
But can you blame me?

[Azuki & Matcha]
Wrapping over my heart
Pink and green cellophane
Balancing sweet and tart
I love you more and more each day

[Matcha]
You are the light in the dark
[Azuki]
My hands are moving on their own
[Matcha]
Keeping me strong when it’s hard
[Azuki]
Pulling you closer
[Matcha]
Wish I was better with words
[Azuki]
I already know how you feel inside
[Matcha]
If I could say it all, I would
[Azuki]
I can read your eyes

[Azuki & Matcha]
You’re unwrapping my heart
Pink and green cellophane
Sharing this brand new start
Bittersweet love just melts away

Thank you for reading to the end!
Here, take a candy ~ 🍭!
