struggle level: it was kinda hard
how i discovered this song: youtube algorithm
whatever: aksjdj
- The song feels a bit unclear to me, so no matter how much I edit my translation I'm not sure if it's correct because it doesn't make much sense to me. The Japanese doesn't either, although I understand all the words. I worry if the words I chose read well or sound pretty, too. I think it's just a weird song like that, probably.
- Corrections welcome as always, just be kind.
