イロハニ文明開化 (Irohani Bunmei Kaika)

==Lyrics==
Japanese 	Romaji 	English
何処から何時から話はおかしくなっていた 	doko kara itsu kara hanashi wa okashiku natte ita 	Where and when did this story start getting so strange?
てにをは合わずの言葉が虚ろに舞っていた 	tenioha awazu no kotoba ga utsuro ni matte ita 	Words with mismatching particles were dancing vacantly.
塞いだ耳でも確かに聞こえた 	fusaida mimi demo tashika ni kikoeta 	Even with my ears blocked, I could hear them.
「世界は間違いだらけさ」–どうしようか、ねぇ? 	"sekai wa machigai darake sa" dou shiyou ka, nee? 	“This world’s full of mistakes.” And what are we gonna do about it, huh?
 	 	
何処から何時から話はおかしくなっていた 	doko kara itsu kara hanashi wa okashiku natte ita 	Where and when did this story start getting so strange?
てにをは合わずの言葉が虚ろに舞っていた 	tenioha awazu no kotoba ga utsuro ni matte ita 	Words with mismatching particles were dancing vacantly.
「歪んだ景色は誰かが嘯く現実さ 	"yuganda keshiki wa dareka ga usoboku genjitsu sa 	“This warped scene is the same reality someone boasts about.
正して見せてよ貴方の描く通り 	tadashite misete yo anata no egakudoori" 	Go on, fix it up for me. Make it how you imagine it."
ヒトヨヒトヨニ人は誰も 	hitoyo hitoyo ni hito wa dare mo 	All night, all night long, everyone stays
気付かずに目を閉じたまま 	kizukazu ni me o tojita mama 	with their eyes shut, unawares.The first portion of this line (ヒトヨヒトヨニ人, hitoyo hitoyo ni hito) may be a reference to 一夜一夜に人見ごろ (hitoyo hitoyo ni hito migoro), a mnemonic used to remember the square root of 2.
ヒトナミに溺れそうな毎日に 	hitonami ni oboresou na mainichi ni 	They live their days close to drowning in sea of people
何を感じなくなる前に 	nani o kanjinaku naru mae ni 	before becoming numb to everything.
さぁ、散切りな頭を叩いて 	saa, zangiri na atama o tataite 	Come on, rap your cropped headThis section is a play on a song/phrase that was popular in the Meiji era (散切り頭を叩いてみれば文明開化の音がする – ‘When you rap your cropped head, it will make the sound of the Meiji Westernisation’). Everyone was cutting their topknots at this time, which is why ‘cropped head’ is referenced.
割れ線を踏み越えて 	waresen o fumikoete 	and step across the dotted line.
紋切り型の時代に放て閃光弾 	monkirigata no jidai ni hanate senkoudan 	Fire flash bombs into a formulaic era.
間違いだらけの世界が回り出すその前に 	machigai darake no sekai ga mawaridasu sono mae ni	Before this world full of mistakes starts turning
文明開化の音を鳴らせ 	bunmei kaika no oto o narase 	let off the sounds of Westernisation.
–少年少女いざ時は来た 	shounen shoujo iza toki wa kita 	Boys and girls, the time has come.
 	 	
ヒトヨヒトヨニ人は誰も 	hitoyo hitoyo ni hito wa dare mo 	All night, all night long, everyone stays
気付かずに目を閉じたまま 	kizukazu ni me o tojita mama 	with their eyes shut, unawares.
ヒトナミに溺れそうな毎日に 	hitonami ni oboresou na mainichi ni 	They live their days close to drowning in sea of people

紋切り型の時代に放て閃光弾 	monkirigata no jidai ni hanate senkoudan 	Fire flash bombs into a formulaic era.
最後通牒つきつけられた世界の前で 	saigo tsuuchou tsukitsukerareta sekai no mae de 	An ultimatum has been thrust at this world.
文明開化の音を鳴らせ 	bunmei kaika no oto o narase 	Let off the sounds of Westernisation before it.
喧騒さえも飲み込んで 	kensou sae mo nomikonde 	Even the crowds will catch on to it.
さぁ、散切りな頭を叩いて 	saa, zangiri na atama o tataite 	Come on, rap your cropped head
割れ線を踏み越えて 	waresen o fumikoete 	and step across the dotted line.
