LYRICS
(They are free to use with credit to me and the original translators.)
The criticality, the morning trial
Of 14 pounds I smirk at all the while
"I can't really help it, I know"
I got my eyes on you, the one who claimed his screws are loose
It was such a pain in my neck, I struck it down
This 4U label's not 4me I found
"I'm so very sorry, although"
My expectations crush the things I always pass right through
Late night rampages of id
Blue lights burning through my eyelids
A moratorium-like life
The GCD’s just packing fluff
If you eat, then you sleep, you'll become an ox
What are you then if you wake then go back to sleep?
食べてすぐ寝て丑になる
(tabete sugu nete ushi ni naru)
起きてまた寝て人でなし？
(okite mata nete hito de nashi?)*1
FAIL!
MAXIMIZER! MAXIMIZER!
Though it stopped as it started, I'm still as good as dead!
"Oh my god, good god I'm gonna die!"
But the knobs have turned around so I'm bound now to comply
サンクコスター サンクコステス！*2
(sankukosutaa sankukosutesu!)
Yet my grip on this isotope won’t go to rest
"You’re falling down to the last circle of hell!"
But the dazzling unbalance escapes us, far away
Revived by the alarm of the morning trial
The 14 pounds taunting them all the while*3
“There’s nothing else for us, you know?”
I say to you, who’s mimicking a lunatic
“Such simple words, well if that’s what you want to believe-”
-I can’t get through
“If you’re truly sorry you will”
I won’t find answers in the sounds that sound the same to you
Regret made ego rampant
Blue light branded in my handprint
A moratorium-like life
The LCD’s the guillotine
食べてすぐ寝て丑になる
(tabete sugu nete ushi ni naru)
起きてまた寝て人でなし？
(okite mata nete hito de nashi?)
“I surrender, Maximizer”
All the love that I burned up for will turn to murder
“Oh my god! Good god, I’m gonna live!”
But resentment takes my hand and we go to hell again
MAXIMIZER! MAXIMIZER!
Though it stopped as it started, we’re still as good as dead!
"Oh my god, good god we’re gonna die!"
But the knobs have turned around so we’re bound now to comply
サンクコスター サンクコステス！
(sankukosutaa sankukosutesu!)
Yet our grips on this isotope won’t go to rest
"We’re falling down to the last circle of hell!"
But the dazzling unbalance escapes us, far away
MAXIMIZER! MAXIMIZER!
MAXIMIZER! MAXIMIZER!

(*1: This is referring to a Japanese saying that doesn't make much sense in English. There's probably a clever way of saying this, but I'm a dumbass. So I left it.)
(*2: Translates to: "Sunk coster, Sunk costess!")
(*3: Magenetra translates this as: "Inferiority smiles at the rondo of the old four." Originally, I thought the inferiority was referring to the previously scoffed at 14 pounds, but it could also refer to a newcomer with a big ego. I don't know what the rondo of the old four is. In the end, I decided to run into a brick wall at full speed, leaving a hole shaped like my body behind. Why are you reading this?)

[@brunchcorpse6025]

I. I just was informed that this song is about the demon core. Somehow makes me love this song even more

[@LunarBlossomYueHua]

oh my god wait it all makes so much sense now

[@birbin2443]

I still don't know what that means but its a bop

[@thelobstar514]

[@stormoftara]

@@birbin2443 the demon core is the core of an atomic bomb that was supposed to be used to bomb Japan but wasn't used because Japan surrendered.

[@apossiblyhereticalalphaleg3595]

@@stormoftara Wasn't the Demon Core like a crazy scientist making two spheres of differing sizes both of some radioactive material and if they fully collide there's a small nuclear explosion and the thing he used to seperate the two was literally just like a spatula?

how the heck does one manage to translate a song like this and make it make SENSE? amazing!

[@soldiergohan9555]

I'm Japanese and love this song! Singing voice, music videos, translations (although English is difficult) are all the best！Your Japanese is also good．ありがとう！

[@uttopielec]

a) you've got a really cool artstyle (what made me click on the video) b) amazing voice c) it's just a cherry on top that those lyrics were also made by you great stuff, keep it up!

[@wallisbudge4022]

I never thought a Marshall Maximizer cover could be so dynamic, amazing work with the MV!

[@DangleMusic]

Man you're so underrated I swear! Your mixing and vocals are always top tier! Great job again Micchi, I was really looking forward to your cover of this song actually and you nailed it yet again! 🔥✨

[@turtlesquare7174]

YOOOO THAT LIKE RATIO IS CRAZY! 56% of the people that saw this liked it!! Most people get 20% of the likes but you got a whopping 56%!!

Okay, it was at 56% but then a bunch of incognito people came in and didnt like this amazing BOP

@@turtlesquare7174 doesn't youtube also count each watch as a seperate view and not by account? I think that's also a factor since I prolly have replayed this banger like 50 times this week

[@apricot4510]

YOOOO I literally just subscribed a few days ago and then you bring out this absolute banger 😳 Also I only just realised the song is about the demon core accidents, love your references to the screwdriver lmao 💀💀 I thought the song would be kinda hard to adapt but your translyrics flow so well!! And not to mention the MV you animated yourself?? Huge respect, this cover is just too good 🙏🙏

[@mahogania5536]

@Splish splash your opinion is trash it was a radioactive incident with the core of the bomb that wasn't detonated in Japan during WW2, some scientists were investigating it but there was a screwdriver involved. This is a summary, more or less

[@jellomaster5629]

[@snowstorm6734]

im so happy i found ur channel, i am the biggest kafu fan ever but i dont speak japanese so the fact you have made a bunch of (really well made) english covers of kafu songs makes me so happy. i dont want to turn this into an annoying comment, but i need to say it anyways bec im stupid, if you could do "leave you on the back of the earth" by iyowa, i would be the happiest ive been all year

[@Vermillion_guitar]

한국어-일본어 개사를 하면 보통 이상해지는데 영어 개사는 괜찮네요 노래 실력도 뛰어나고 음색도 잘 어울려요 앞으로 활동 기대되요!! Even though Korea and Japan have similar grammares, singing a Japanese song in the Korean usually makes a song sound ackward. However the English version sounds good to me. Not only you have great singing skills but also your voice tone goes well with these kinds of songs. I look forward to hearing your songs!!
