FEMM and FAMM'IN's very 1st thread

[Corvina]

I really like the contrast between their FEMM stuff and now FAMM'IN.
circle combines modern and traditional japanese elements and is completely sung in Japanese whereas FEMM is pretty much completely western in sound and sung in English.
And considering the theme of FAMM'IN, I guess it will stay that way, but who knows.
Waiting for the lyrics for circle as it is a bit hard to understand (and to read) in the PV.

EDIT:
Haha, alright, just took a closer look at the youtube page - they shared the credits, the lyrics and an offcial English translation underneath the PV!
Man, avex, why can't you do that with all of your acts, rofl.

主押す彼の飛ぶ波巡り還る主揺れる
主押す彼の飛ぶ波巡り還る主躱す
主の背の彼の飛ぶ　何れ来る徒の巡り
輪の様に和を生す　何れ来る唯の巡り
和の様に環を成す　輪の様に和を成す

As you push, somebody gets pushed out
The effect of which will ripple through,
then comes back around to affect you
As you push, somebody gets pushed out
The effect of which will ripple through,
then comes back around to oneself
Even if you manage to dodge,
the person behind you will then be pushed
It's a mere cycle bound to arrive one day
Harmonizes in a form of a circle
It's the only cycle bound to arrive one day
It may seem like a harmony, but it builds a fence
Harmonizes in like a circle

真白な夜を重ね重ね塗り潰す黒でなく
君の手で染め上げて、其の儘に導かれ
余りに眩い光に濃く成る影でもなく

Not with the black that covers over and over the white night
Dye it up instead, with your hands
as your heart desires and leads the way
Unlike the shadow that deepens as the light brightens

遠くは青く見える空海この舟も
須く凡てを含んだ幻影に過ぎない色
尚も混ざり放て　掴め、遠退く其れらを
もう、見えぬほど深く沈む
それでも、君という色が確かに見える

Even the sky, the ocean,
this boat that may seem pure blue from afar are
mere illusions made up of every being
Even so, it has to be seized by being a part of which,
that fades further away
It has already sunk deep enough for us to not be able to see
But you; the color, appears crystal clear

真白な夜を重ね重ね塗り潰す黒でなく
余りに眩い光に濃く成る影でもなく
色が確かに見える

Not the black that covers over and over the white night
Nor the shadow that deepens as the light brightens
The color is clearly apparent


▫︎ 繰り返し / Repeat


止まる斜陽　数え切れない夜を越える斜陽
言葉にしようとしても然様
全ての終わりは譲り故に斜陽

Sunset pauses
The sunset that has been through countless nights
We try to put it into words,
but it is nothing more than what it is
Every ending means nothing but giving, a sunset

▪︎
その目に宿すもの凡ては異なる故
語らう口よりも他の響きに震うこの琴よ

Every scenery that we conceive, are all different
More than the mouth that speaks,
the strings that ring through people's hearts are the...

空の在る空を無限に想う様も
以上に割る事の能わぬ些細に尚望む無限も
指は届かず心は達す
星に、遥か生まる前を見る者よ
若う目に映る吾が死後を美しく描こうとする者よ

This space that holds the space, that holds the universe...
And the way it repeats infinitely
As well as infinity that relies on the indivisible
Cannot be felt, yet our hearts can reach
Those who see the past,
way beyond birth in the shining stars of the night
Those who attempt to paint a beautiful future way beyond death,
with the reflection in the young eyes.
