    Translation, mostly. Couldn't catch all the little mumbly bits, which someone else would probably be able to do better, but I tried.

    Spoiler:

    Ayaka: I still don't personally have any real sense of death, so--
    Shiori: But it's true that death will come no matter what--
    Kanako: We all sat around and told each other our personal feelings on it, and this is the sort of song that came out of it, and I think it's quite Momoclo-like.

    Have you ever thought about your own death? ... No? Really?
    Ayaka: I think that there is a heaven and a hell. And of course I want to go to heaven. I've never met my great-grandparents so I want to be able to.
    Reni: Death is like... I thought it would be like recognition. You die and meet god, who tells you you've done well, that you've worked hard, and then once you have that acknowledgement, you move on to the next world, I think.
    kwkm: With death, you might meet god, but then there might also just be nothing afterward. Or something. But it would be a better discussion to have if you think about death like that.
    Shiori: Death is scary, isn't it? Because I think it's scary for people to think about dying when you still have things left undone, things you still want to do. It's not like people need to face death head-on, but because there is like a time limit, it might create a sense of just going and doing the things you want to do.
    Momoko: I mean, when you're alive there are so many things you can do, but then when you die, it's all gone. I know that my father would get so mad at me if I said, "I want to die."
    Kanako: It's harder for the people left behind, I think, so I'd want to have a cheerful funeral rather than a somber one. *Something here about the people who are here have ____ so I will also ____, but I can't quite catch it, sorry.

    Thank you, that is excellent. I added the subs to the video...turn on subtitles before watching:



    lol so young!....JK I'm only a couple months older than Reni :-)

    I put up a review article on AMARANTHUS today! Give it a read if you feel like reading a meaty read-up on the tracks. http://newschoolkaidan.com/momoiro-clover-zs-amaranthus-homecoming/

    I also made a short unboxing video of the albums
    Spoiler:
    :]

    I'll probably work on an illustration or something next. The albums really inspire creativity.

    I've watched your unboxing video and it's very good. :)
    I like to watch how you show the design details for both album
    The evil line sure has put lot of effort to control the quality standard of music and graphic art for the albums.

    Gakugeeeekai: Wow. Nice write up. That was a fun read. Will you be doing a similar review for Hakkin No Yoake? If so, I look forward to it.

    I am thoroughly enjoying both albums, but I have to say that AMARANTHUS really blew my mind. From the music to album imagery, everything just fits. As of right now it's my favorite Momoclo album.

    Nice job. You had a lot of interesting commentary on those songs - I'd definitely want to see what you have to say about Hakkin no Yoake too, as it has most of the tracks that I'm most curious about seeing other opinions on.

    That's a pretty nice website you write for too - I didn't know you were part of an organization like that :P

    "Consistently " is the word. Some stuff is awesome, some is just OK.

    Havent found a piece of merchandise that was truly awful tough. Except for the AX shirt, which im not even sure was Smooch fault

    Just saw this and I will read your review :)
    For all you who might be interested, here's my full review of both the albums:
    https://javlamusik.wordpress.com/2016/03/16/amaranthus-hakkin-no-yoake-momoiro-clover-z-nippon-month/

    This whole month I will only review Japanese music for those who are interested to check in :)

    And if you don't want to read up on all that, I can simply say that both albums are really good but I prefer Hakkin :)

    That was a really well written review, Gaku! I'd love to see a similar review of Hakkin.

    I posted a new translation, for "Demonstration", last night on the Facebook group. Here it is for this forum's enjoyment.

    I think Demonstration is a much more complex song than it appears on the surface, much like a number of other songs on Amaranthus. I'm still trying to gather up my thoughts and write them down.

    Romaji:

    Translation:
    Spoiler:

    Once again, before I knew it, facts became falsehoods.
    The important things adults told me yesterday changed 180 degrees today.
    Halt, Earth! Do not spin, Earth! It's your fault truth became a lie
    And lies became truth.
    Hey, Galileo. Justice and Evil kept spinning, and before I noticed I've misplaced them.
    Don't be vain, universe! I can't let you have your way forever.
    No matter how much the world provokes me, I will never change.
    I will stop the Earth from spinning!
    Hey, I wonder how many of the words I've come to believe until now can be called "truth"?
    No matter how much I'm deceived, I'm not lost anymore. I don't want to lose the fight with myself!
    Gravity, gravity, tears are falling. Gravity, gravity,
    Staying just the same, forever and ever, on this planet, living on, and so - right now I'm taking flight!
    You are just fine the way you are, so wipe your tears
    Come on, let's begin! See? Even I can take flight.
    Every unmistakable thing we can believe, every certain thing -
    One by one, I'll unearth them with my own hands.
    Ah, I wonder how many of the words I've said until now I can truly be proud of?
    I don't want to do anything to betray anyone. I want to move straight ahead, always!
    Gravity, gravity, the rain is cold. Gravity, gravity,
    Even through storms, even through blizzards, I don't want to run away, I don't want to avoid it, and so - right now I'm taking wing!
    You are just fine the way you are, so don't disguise it
    Come on, let's tell the world. Right now, even I will lend you my voice.
    Just believing in yourself, and the things you can take pride in -
    Little by little, I'll find them with my own eyes. Whatever it takes.
    Hey, Galileo. I'm trying to do things my own way.
    No matter how much I'm made a fool of, I will not lose heart. Right?
    I've already took so many steps. The rain stopped! The tears ceased! Just a little more!
    Just a little more. It will take just a little more.
    This body, this heart, with these feet, with these fingers, I will kick the Earth and take flight! Soar high!
    You are just fine the way you are, so wipe your tears
    Come on, let's begin! See? Even I can take flight.
    Every unmistakable thing we can believe, every certain thing -
    One by one, I'll find them with my own hands. I will grab them.
    Halt! Halt!
    Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!
    Halt!
    Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!
    Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!
    Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!
    Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt! Halt!

    After all the translations, i did this for my favourite Amaranthus track. Marked with an asterisk * the bits im not sure , so if someone wants to step up to correct them , go ahead
    Mind you, i know next to nothing about kanji so i had to rely on Google translator a lot, which i plainly mistrust (it believes Momota Kanako means "summer psycho" so you get the idea)

    GORILLA PUNCH
    A Gorilla punch is something awesome
    A Gorilla punch is a punch of rage
    Tsuuuuu
    As the storm rages on a punch of anger is released
    I wont forgive ever as my anger arises
    Is being angry not cool?
    Young people *
    I will fight even if im scared as long as i know im protecting something
    Even a panda is actually strong
    Laughing staring at each other
    Staring at each other's eyes *
    Im not a jellyfish swimming with the tides
    If someone asking for help
    Don't be like a tender panda
    Be strong like a gorilla
    When the human race dissapoints you
    Be hard and strong like a gorilla
    Show your secret ape power
    Gorilla punch
    Gorilla punch
    Gorilla punch
    Dawn of the gorilla punch! *
    Now my angerness is too much to handle
    And is overflowing
    I wont forgive and be indifferent
    A thunderstorm flows through me!
    Is it getting angry embarassing?
    Fashionable Lovely young *
    Its ok to fight if you know the meaning of justice
    Even a panda is actually dangerous
    Dont worry, take a break
    Drink some milk, maybe it will calm you down
    But dont be a cactus enduring the loneliness of the desert
    If you have a sorrow and looking for healing
    Don't be a panda who shows tenderness
    Have strength like a gorilla
    And the resistance of gorilla
    If you´re dissapointed of the human race
    Show your secret ape power
    If you want affection, if you need warmness
    Don't be like tender like a panda
    Have the strength like gorilla
    and the endurance of the gorilla
    Gorilla Punch!

    I did Demonstration, so I figured out I should do its sister song too.

    Translation
    Spoiler:

    Should the Earth cease spinning
    I shall take a deep breath to fill my lungs, and keep living until I'm the last person remaining.
    Then, in the few seconds left until I expire, I shall make this world my own.

    But, after all, in the end I want to give you a mouth-to-mouth and share my little remaining oxygen.
    When you revive, I want to send this world off together with you.
    If this world's beginning was Adam and Eve, I want its end to be you and me.

    My dear prince, if I'm with you
    We can surmount any of space's theories
    With just the tips of our fingers touching, we can even fly through the sky

    The universe's origin was, yes, with you
    The sun, the Earth, the moon and the stars, even I;
    I feel we were created from you. Hey, isn't that so?

    Even God will surely doubt his eyes; Heaven and earth will shake
    If we're together I feel we can accomplish anything; Here I go!

    Imagination, imagination; Why are you showing me this dream?
    Explosion, explosion; We'll press tightly together until the end of this world
    (I'll be there for you Fly) I wonder what the view will be.

    Here we go!

    Mr. Prince, if I go close to you
    Isn't it strange? In an instant I'm unable to breathe.
    Gravitation is your power, that's what I think. Hey, is that okay?

    We surely have an unlucky destiny; Even if the galaxy collapses,
    If we're together I feel we can escape. Can you hear me?!

    Destination, destination; Why do you make me lose myself in you?
    Escalation, escalation; I'm happy from the bottom of my heart
    (I'll be waiting Tonight) I wonder where I found it.

    Hey, Simone. If gravity disappeared, will these feelings be gone too?
    But, you see, my energy is already infinite.

    Ah, I'm brimming over with so much feelings
    Hey, hey, hey, hey, I'll end up grinning like a fool! Hey!

    Even on rainy days, even on stormy days; If you're there, I can dream. Here I go!

    Imagination, imagination; Why are you showing me this dream?
    Explosion, explosion; We'll press tightly together until the end of this world
    (I'll be there for you Fly) I wonder what the view will be.

    My dear prince, if I'm with you, we can surmount even reality at any era
    On nights I want to see you but can't, let me hear your voice in my dreams
    I'm waiting
