PRESSURE
Sung by: Yamadera Kouichi
Translated by: Mina-P (Email: Minako@senshigakuen.com)
Version 2.00
Note: Yamadera Kouichi is one of my favorite seiyuu singers of all time. There's simply nothing that he can't do. He really proves this in PRESSURE from his solo album Cube/9. The song is haunting and mysterious, but really hard and pounding as its title might suggest. After hearing this, I was absolutely floored. PRESSURE is one of my favorite songs of all time, so check it out~!
mata konya mo onaji yume o mite
ase ni mamire mezameru
kuroi tetsu no shikakui katamari
oto o tate ochitekuru
koe o ageru kedo
dare mo tasuketekurezu
boku wa boku o ushinau
Pressure anata ga omotteru you na
boku wa kashikoi hito ja nai
Pressure omae ga nozonderu you na
boku wa yasashii hito ja nai
Tonight, again, I see the same dream
And wake up covered in sweat
The black square iron lump
Makes a sound and falls down
I raise my voice but
No one helps me
I lose myself
Pressure I'm not a smart person
Like you think
Pressure I'm not a kind person
Like you desire
mata konya mo reizouko no mae
puru topu kojiakeru
tooi biru ni sotto kodama shite
sairen ga kieteyuku
tsukareteru n da to
iikikasetemiru kedo
boku wa boku o utagau
Pressure anata ga omotteru you na
boku wa kedakai hito ja nai
Pressure omae ga nozonderu you na
boku wa ookina hito ja nai
Tonight, again, in front of the fridge
I pry the top open
Echoing off of the far away building
The siren disappears
"It's because I'm tired"
I persuade you but
I doubt myself
Pressure I'm not a noble person
Like you think
Pressure I'm not a big person
Like you desire
Pressure anata ga omotteru you na
boku wa kashikoi hito ja nai
Pressure omae ga nozonderu you na
boku wa yasashii hito ja nai
Woo Pressure anata ga omotteru you na
boku wa kedakai hito ja nai
Pressure omae ga nozonderu you na
boku wa ookina hito ja nai
mata konya mo onaji yume o mite
ase ni mamire mezameru
Woo
Pressure I'm not a smart person
Like you think
Pressure I'm not a kind person
Like you desire
Woo Pressure I'm not a noble person
Like you think
Pressure I'm not a big person
Like you desire
Tonight, again, I see the same dream
And wake up covered in sweat
Woo
