Tensei Ringo / Reincarnation Apple ~ Behind The Lyrics

Let's talk about this song that I've grown quite fond of. Overall, I have to say I really like it. It's a well-rounded package – from the captivating illustration to the theme, the heartfelt lyrics, and the melody that weaves it all together. 

Now, as I delve into the meaning of the song, it seems to revolve around a character who harbors a deep dissatisfaction with their ordinary life. The recurring thought that plagues them is: 'What would it be like to be reborn as someone else?' It's a sentiment that suggests a longing for a life that's more exciting, more meaningful.

But here's the twist. As the song progresses, this character undergoes a realization. They come to understand that in every 'new life' they imagine, there will always be troubles, challenges, and hardships. Even individuals who seem great, possessing exceptional talents and power, have their own set of problems. It's a reminder that there's no such thing as a 'perfect life.'

Every person, regardless of their talents or abilities, experiences pain, failure, and disappointment. They too can be betrayed by those they love. It's a poignant message that underscores the idea that life, with all its imperfections and struggles, is a shared human experience. It's a realization that adds depth and nuance to the song, making it even more relatable and impactful.

Romaji Lyric :

Heibon na jibun ga iya nan demo nai seikatsu ga iya
Usankusai bainin kara katta ayashii ringo o houbatta
Kashikoi wanabii wa minna yatteru ippashi no nanimono ka ni
Umarekawatte yarinaoseru tensei ringo

Aru hyougensha ni natta zensekai de shousan sareta
Jibun wa tokubetsu de hoka wa bonjin de sono sainou ni yoishireta
Daga hito o aisuru sainou wa naku aisuru nakama wa satte itta
Aa mata dame deshita tensei shiyou

Aru hatsumeika ni natta seiki no daihatsumei o shita
Sekai ga heiwa ni narimasu you ni honki de kokoro kara negatta
Daga hatsumei wa heiki riyou sarete zankoku na chi no ame ga futta
Aa mata dame deshita tensei shiyou

Sainou ga nai kara chenji mata risetto
Atama warui kara chenji mata risetto
Jinsei no kouryakuhou koufuku no hisshouhou
Misakai nai ne "jibun" ga kiechatta no?

Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi umarekawari
Yamazumi no nakigara no ue de danshingu
Riinkaaneeshon riinkaaneeshon no hitsuu na sakebi
Aishite aishite iya
Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi umarekawari
Kirameku nitari yottari no sutoorii
Riinkaaneeshon riinkaaneeshon no hate no oobaakiru
Doushite doushite

Aru kyuuseishu ni natta mushou no ai o wakeataeta
Takusan no hito ga shitai sonkeishi oi mo wakaki mo atama sageta
Daga junsui sugite aku ni damasare hone made shaburarete shimatta
Aa mata dame deshita tensei shiyou

Aru kakumeigo ni natta hen na kireigoto o kiratta
Shoujikimono ga baka o miru sekai de ruuru o utagai tatakatta
Daga te ni ireta chikara ni obore heiwagoto moyashite shimatta
Aa mata dame deshita tensei shiyou

Jinbou ga nai kara chenji mata risetto
Taigi ga nai kara chenji mata risetto
Kairaku no dorei interi no bourei
Isekai demo genjitsu wa shabakatta yo

Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi umarekawari
Rekishi naki mukyouyou no aimusoorii
Riinkaaneeshon riinkaaneeshon no hitsuu na sakebi
Aishite aishite iya
Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi umarekawari
Senkai yatte mo shippai no rabu sutoorii
Riinkaaneeshon riinkaaneeshon no hate no oobaakiru
Doushite doushite

Aru boukensha ni natta risou o motomete tabi datta
Mubou na chousen demo tsuranuku shisei ni hitobito wa kandoushita
Daga risou o motomeru ga amari tsumi no nai hito ga gisei ni natta
Aa aa mata dame? doko e mukau no darou?

Kurikaeshi kurikaeshi umarekawari
Yamazumi no nakigara no ue de danshingu
Riinkaaneeshon riinkaaneeshon no hitsuu na sakebi
Aishite aishite iya
Tensei ringo tensei ringo de umarekawari
Tensei ringo tensei ringo de genkai shittari
Tensei ringo tensei ringo de ikkan no owari
Doushite doushite

Aa tensei ga owatta heibon na jibun ni modotta
Kanashii kedo nandaka hotto shita saa jibun wa doushiyou ka
Shirafu ni modottara minna yameteku jibun ga jibun de aru tame ni
Gomibako ni suteta tensei ringo

Reincarnation Apple

English Translation : 

I hate my ordinary self, I despise my colorless life
I took a mouthful of a suspicious apple that I bought from a shady dealer
All the shrewd wannabes are doing it,
I can be reborn as someone meaningful with this Reincarnation Apple

I became an artist, from the whole world I was praised
I was special, everyone else ordinary, in my talent I was befuddled and amazed
But I lacked the gift to love, and my beloved others abandoned me
Oh, I screwed up again, I’m gonna reincarnate

I became an inventor, I created the invention of the century
“Please bring peace to the world”, I prayed truly and sincerely
But my invention was weaponized, a cruel rain of blood it created
Oh, I screwed up again, I’m gonna reincarnate

I don’t have any talent, just change and reset
I’m not smart enough, just change and reset
Strategies to win in life, surefire guide to feel elate
How imprudent, did your “selfhood” evaporate?

Again and again, reborn and reborn
Dancing on a mountain of corpses
Reincarnation, grievous cry of reincarnation
Love me, love me, no
Again and again, reborn and reborn
The same characterless stories are sparkling
Reincarnation, overkill at the end of endless reincarnations
Why, oh why

I became a savior, unconditional love I gave to all
Worshiped and respected by the people, young and old I would enthrall
But I was too innocent, evil deceived me and to the bare bones they ate
Oh, I screwed up again, I’m gonna reincarnate

I became a revolutionary, I despised the lip service and deceit
I questioned and fought in a world where the honest always faced defeat
But I was consumed by my power and even peace I cremated
Oh, I screwed up again, I’m gonna reincarnate

I’m not popular, just change and reset
I don’t have a great cause, just change and reset
A slave to pleasure, the ghost of a highbrow smartass
Even in another world, reality was just as lame

Again and again, reborn and reborn
Historyless and uneducated? I’m sorry
Reincarnation, reincarnation’s grievous cry
Love me, love me, no
Again and again, reborn and reborn
A love story that always fails, a thousand times and more
Reincarnation, overkill at the end of endless reincarnations
Why, oh why

I became an adventurer, I set out in search of an ideal
Everyone marveled at me as I took on the most challenging ordeal
But my ideals went to the extreme, innocent lives I sacrificed
Oh, oh, not again? What destination will suffice?

Again and again, reborn and reborn
Dancing on a mountain of corpses
Reincarnation, grievous cry of reincarnation
Love me, love me, no
Reincarnation Apple, reborn with the Reincarnation Apple
Reincarnation Apple, learning the limits with the Reincarnation Apple
Reincarnation Apple, the end has come with the Reincarnation Apple
Why, oh why

Oh, my reincarnation is over, I'm back to my ordinary self
I’m sad but I breathe a sigh of relief, where should I go from here
Everyone quits once they’re sober, a sense of self, we become mindful
Straight into the trash, the Reincarnation Apple

I'm into Vocaloid (part 2)

I found some Vocaloid's Cover that I love Hello, continuing our latest topic about Vocaloid and Vocaloid Producer, I also want to talk about Utaite. But before that, let me explained what's utaite "Utaite: (歌い手) is a Japanese term for people who cover previously released songs and post them on Nico Nico Douga and YouTube under the utattemita category. The term "utaite" is unique to Nico Nico Douga singers, making it different from Kashu (歌手), which means "singer" in general." ( source ) Yes, from the explanation I get from Wiki Fandom, IT IS the term uniquely used on Nico Nico Douga . But because I can't really access NicoNico in my country, I won't talk about utaite that only upload their music on NicoNico. Instead, I will talk about utaite that share their music on YouTube (I'm sorry) . The first utaite I know is Soraru . I don't really remember how I found his song (again, thanks to YouTube algorithm), but I found his cover of き...

Chainsaw Man (2022) ~ Anime Talk

I finished watching the anime, but I don't really have the time to actually write down how I feel about it. I don't know where I should start, honestly, but here we go... Manga Cover Design  Before talking about the anime, I would like to take a moment to appreciate the manga cover. Story & Art :  Fujimoto, Tatsuki Serialization : Shounen Jump+  As someone who self-learned 'some' graphic design back in my college days, I've got an eye for these things. And let me tell you, the cover of Chainsaw Man...It's a thing of pure beauty. I've always love neon colors for as long as I can remember, and when I first stumbled upon this series (we're talking way before the series got adapt into anime), I was absolutely mesmerized by the manga cover. It's one of those covers that make you want to reach out and grab the book, even if you have no idea what's inside. A visual treat for my eyes. So, hats off to the creative minds behind that eye-catching cover!...
