shuriken, you’re killing me. I don’t think I botched it too badly.
Song: Plaza 4 visitors
Artist: NSY ft. ランコ
Circle: サリー
———> Sally
Release: レス
———> Less
Key: Original Lyrics; Romaji; Translation
NOTES: これぞ = apparently, a synonym for “something/someone that could never be a fake” in front of you. In the context of the song, something incredible is happening, and it would be impossible to believe if it wasn’t happening right before the speaker’s eyes.
古屋敷 = ふるやしき = Look, I did my best for you, but I have no idea what shuriken is referring to here. It’s most likely referring to a location, but could also be referring to a person or company. I’ve left the name intact in my translation. If someone figures it out, feel free to tell me.
トゥルリラ = “TRUE REAL LOVE” = “The brand of a series for imouto-style AV actresses.” Like he says, take the usage here as irony, or sarcasm.
風前の灯 = ふうぜんのともしび (but sung as ふうぜんのひ) = “precarious situation; precarious state”
手屏風 = てびょうぶ = びょうぶ is a “folding screen,” so I imagine 手屏風 as the act of covering yourself with your arms/hands in an attempt to protect yourself.
庇いきれたら 君は何て言うのかしら = The subject and speaker of these lines is ambiguous.
意を汲んでくれ = 意 is read as いき, which I have interpreted as 意気. “Their lifeforce was given to me to drink” was how I pictured this line.
丑三つ時 = Midnight, “the witching hour.”

これぞシナリオ
読み解くことはできる？
kore zo shinario
yomitoku koto ha dekiru
This scenario…
Do you understand its significance?
世界にはまだ希望があるって
どうしたって見せてやりたくて
蔦の根が 古屋敷を覆う
それはきっと正しいことだろう
sekai ni ha mada kibou ga arutte
doushite mo misete yaritakute
tsuta no ne ga furuyashiki wo oou
sore ha kitto tadashii koto darou
I say that I have aspirations for this world
And no matter what, I want to show them to you
The roots of the ivy cover Furuyashiki
But that’s surely how it’s supposed to be, right?
トゥルリラ 悲しい景色
無限の足跡 木漏れ日の歌
tururira kanashii keshiki
mugen no ashiato komorebi no uta
“True, real love?” It’s more of a sad scene
An infinite trail of footprints;
a song for the sunlight filtering through the trees
風前の灯を 手屏風だけでもし
庇いきれたら
君は何て言うのかしら
fuuzen no hi wo te byoubu dake demo shi
kabaikiretara
kimi ha nante iu no kashira
We’re in serious trouble with nothing more to defend ourselves
“If I were to stop protecting you…?”
What are you trying to say, I wonder

kore zo shinario
yomitoku koto ha dekiru
This scenario…
Do you understand its significance?
禁忌だってそれだけじゃわかんない
あらかじめ用意されただけ
まだ先は長いぜ 暗いし
周りにも悪い嘘だらけ
kinki datte sore dake ja wakannai
arakajimeyoui sareta dake
mada saki ha nagai ze kurai shi
mawari ni mo warui uso darake
“It’s taboo,” they say? I’m not so sure about that
I’ve taken care of everything in advance
Still, the road ahead is long, huh? Dark, too…
Saying “just to the perimeter;” that was a horrible lie
トゥルリラ 夕陽に似てた
くたびれたミラーボール どこで拾うた
tururira yuuhi ni niteta
kutabireta miraabooru doko de hirouta
“True, real love?” It looked more like the setting sun
An exhausted mirror-ball we found somewhere
いつの時代も 出来あがる地図を
耄碌した目に 映したならお気の毒
itsu no jidai mo dekiagaru chizu wo
mouroku shita me ni utsushita nara oki no doku
No matter what time period, a map can be drawn
Projected in these senile eyes, pitifully
「天は曰く一切の実行犯を運命と言え
存在感の無いものの意を汲んでくれ
天は曰く一切の実行犯を運命と言え
証言台の中央にくぼみをつけて」
ten ha iwaku issai no jikkouhan wo unmei to ie
sonzaikan no nai mono no iki wo kundekure
ten ha iwaku issai no jikkouhan wo unmei to ie
shougen dai no chuuou ni kubomi wo tsukete
“Throughout history, Heaven would claim the perpetrator is fate;
The spirits of those with no presence were offered as drink.
Throughout history, Heaven would claim the perpetrator is fate;
At the center of the table made for evidence, only a hollowed cavity.”
丑三つ時の 夢枕にまで
四季折々の 星空を連れておいで
ushimitsudoki no yumemakura ni made
shikioriori no hoshizora wo tsureteoide
Until the witching hour at the bedside where I dream
From season to season, I will lead you to the starry skies
徒然なれよ 夕月夜の末裔
背負う十字の さみしさも連れておいで
tsuredzure nare yo yuudzukiyo no matsuie
seou juuji no samishisa mo tsureteoide
It’s become a tedium; the descendants of moonlit evenings
I will lead away the loneliness of being burdened with that cross
これぞシナリオ
まさかと息を飲む
kore zo shinario
masaka to iki wo nomu
This scenario…
I gasped, “No way…”
