「Azuki & Matcha」Bittersweet (Lyric Video)【VOCALOID Original】

So this was basically an experiment with making Japanese-only voicebanks sing in understandable English, and I think it was mostly successful! The full lyrics, for those interested: [Azuki] Summer’s welling up in my white-bloused chest I’m popping bubblegum as I write this test Sneaking a glance so you’ll catch my gaze Waiting for careless dog days [Matcha] Autumn’s far away but it feels so near I wonder, will we be here again next year? Trying to live in the present, but [Azuki & Matcha] Can’t help wishing for good luck [Azuki] It’s true Us two We stick together like red bean mochi [Matcha] But this Feeling [Azuki & Matcha] It’s bittersweet! [Azuki] Learning the ways of the world [Matcha] Come over, stay for the weekend [Azuki] Isn’t this normal for girls? [Matcha] Because we’re best friends [Azuki] Why am I wishing for more? [Matcha] Her lips are wet from the warm ice cream [Azuki] Smile and leave it alone [Matcha] Don’t want to wreck this [Azuki & Matcha] Wrapping over my heart Pink and green cellophane Pretty, but growing tart Bittersweet love is all I taste [Matcha] Winter’s blowing over my red-flushed face But I’ll keep on the quickest way to your place [Azuki] Watch out the window like a caged bird You’ll make the whole day better [Azuki & Matcha] Spending time with you in the springtime glow Walking, talking about where our lives will go Ignoring all of the impulses To lock our hands together [Matcha] It’s true We two Belong together like cake and green tea [Azuki] But this Feeling [Azuki & Matcha] It’s bittersweet! [Matcha] Pushing desires aside [Azuki] Come over, stay for the weekend [Matcha] Keeping them sealed and twist-tied [Azuki] Because we’re best friends [Matcha] Though I’m still wishing for more [Azuki] Her lips are begging to say something [Matcha] This is as far as it goes [Azuki] But we won’t wreck this [Azuki & Matcha] Wrapping over my heart Pink and green cellophane Pretty, but growing tart Bittersweet love is all I taste [Azuki] There must be something really wrong with me [Azuki & Matcha] Try to drop it but I can’t [Azuki] What’s so bad about loving somebody? [Azuki & Matcha] Even though you’re not a man [Matcha] Heartrate rising with our proximity [Azuki & Matcha] Locking eyes, thoughts spiraling [Matcha] Parted lips that want to speak desperately [Azuki & Matcha] “Let me be your everything” [Azuki] Can’t hold it back anymore [Matcha] Bursting with candied affection [Azuki] You are the one I adore [Matcha] Fearing rejection [Azuki] But if you don’t feel the same [Matcha] Maybe I’m just reading way too deep [Azuki] I’ll just keep staying contained [Matcha] But can you blame me? [Azuki & Matcha] Wrapping over my heart Pink and green cellophane Balancing sweet and tart I love you more and more each day [Matcha] You are the light in the dark [Azuki] My hands are moving on their own [Matcha] Keeping me strong when it’s hard [Azuki] Pulling you closer [Matcha] Wish I was better with words [Azuki] I already know how you feel inside [Matcha] If I could say it all, I would [Azuki] I can read your eyes [Azuki & Matcha] You’re unwrapping my heart Pink and green cellophane Sharing this brand new start Bittersweet love just melts away Thank you for reading to the end! Here, take a candy ~ 🍭!
