Esteem / Ototsugi Kanade feat. Otomachi Una & KAFU (English Subs)

I havent subbed an Ototsugi song in so long!! I had this one in the backburner for awhile, so I didn’t notice most of their content went away. Since I did get their OK before they retired(?), I should be in the clear. But if they’ve changed their mind since, I’ll be happy to take this down! Thanks a bunch to Kesera who did the subs! *I have permission from the composer to upload. My videos’ only purpose is to share music with the English community in a respectable manner. ✾ Translation Notes ✾ The text at 1:20ish says バズりたい, which means “I wanna go viral“ ✾ Support the Creator(s) ✾ Music, Art, Video / Ototsugi Kanade Original: It’s unlisted, so I won’t share it publicly, but please subscribe to them in case they come back!!

Aren’t you tired of living everyday like this? I get that, but that doesn’t mean I can stop Ugh… 何のためにやっているのか 誰のためにやっているのか 分からない 分からない そもそも何のためにやっているのか 誰のためにやっているのか 分からない　分からない Why am I doing this? Who am I doing this for? I don’t know, I don’t know Why did I start doing this in the first place? Who am I doing this for? I don’t know, I don’t know Let’s sing ! La La La La La La La La La La La La La La La Li La La Li La La La La La La La La La La…　　 承認欲求に侵されて フラストレーションばかり溜めてるの？ そんな毎日詰まらないじゃない？ 分かっちゃいるけど… All seeking approval does is give you nothing but frustration, right? Aren’t you tired of living everyday like this? I get that, but... 結局欲望は尽きなくて 迷宮の中で藻掻き苦しんでいる 結果が全て 結果が全て　 能なき鷹は爪も生えない It turns out, all of my desires are suffering in an endless labyrinth the end is all that matters, the end is all that matters All I am is a worthless hawk that can’t even grow talons 個性なんて要らない！　個性なんて要らない！ 量産型でも良い　構わないの イミテーションしましょ！　イミテーションしましょ！ 他者評価が得られればそれだけで良い (？) I don’t need individuality! I don’t need individuality! I don’t care if it’s just mass-produced goods Keep the imitation up! Keep the imitation up! As long as people think I have worth, that’s good enough for me(?)
