music: loop cube person? (name coming soon)/ lyrics: Kaya

Maddened in night by your lingering scent
It presses thick and damp on my body
At 2 o'clock am

I suppose at about this time
you'll be
Drawing close and holding somebody
As if you were holding me

 

nokorikaori ni kuruu yoru
jittori to karada ni fumitsuku
gozen niji

anata wa imagoro
atashi o idaku you ni
hoka no hito idaku no deshou


How I wish you had been kind enough to kill me on that night....
I can't take it anymore, ah....

Fingers entwined in promise do part
Everything I believe turns to lies
Those fingers of yours, along with that hair,
Start to betray me now
A thousand promises, a thousand nights
A thousands kisses too..
Unfaithful, everything single one
They but betray me now


ano yoru atashi o koroshite kureta nara
mou taekirenai aa~

tsunaideta yubi ga hanare
shinjita subete ga uso ni naru
yubi ga kami ga uragitte yuku

sen no yoru sen no chikai sen no kuchizuke ga
uragitte yuku

Blind as I am I wander the dark

"Hey Demon, over here!"

From where does your voice call...

 

mekakushi no mama yami o tadoru

[onisan, kochira]

anata no yobu koe wa doko

Into fingers and trees....into you
I'll pound deep my pegs, deep my love
Blood will smear, will flow



ki ni yubi ni...anata ni
kugi o ai o fukaku uchitsukeru
chi ga nijimu

And why could I forgive you back then?
Stop! don't laugh anymore...oooh...


My memories of the kind person you were
They crack as they begin to break

And I continue without end to feel sick and shake

Thousands of loves, thousand thoughts of your death
Torn between my longing for the two...


ano toki anata o naze yuruseta no darou
mou warawanaide aa

hibiwarete kowarete yuku
yasashii anata no omoide ga

taemanai furue to hakike

sen no ai sen no satsui
kogareru omoi ga semegiau

Blind as I am I wander the dark

"Here, where I'm clapping for you"

Who's calling your name now...

 

mekakushi no mama yami o tadoru

[te no naru hou e]

anata o yobu koe wa dare

 

*lol* While I was translating my mom came in and was all like "wtf are you doing, you?!"
And I was like, "...whatever I want to." XD Sorry this took so long.

Onigokko is a game Japanese children play that is very reminiscent of "tag". The person who is "It" is the "Oni" (demon) and the rest of the children have to run from the oni. They call out taunts and whatnot, and some of those appear in the lyrics of this song.

The name itself, Hannya, is the name of one of a more popular Japanese demon. This particular demon is said to have once been a human woman who turned to a monster from her spite and anger towards a past love. It reminds me of the English saying "Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned or Kaya", and makes me think that there might be something universal to this wisdom. The demon itself is visible in many aspects of Japanese culture, from anime to Noh, and is a prominent figure in their demonology.
