Bad Apple?
Bad Apple. (本当に誰得だよ？）
Things tend to look a bit different when you look at them eight years later.
Someone wanted me to re-translate this, and I’m not exactly sure what they were looking for, but this song looks a whole lot more sarcastic than I remember it being before.
If you’re really going to prod me to actually change and do something. Don’t expect it to be a positive change, you might just regret your decision.

Bad Apple!!
Bad Apple!! – 東方幻想郷
Lyric: Haruka
Vocal: Nomico
流れてく 時の中ででも 気だるさがほら グルグル廻って
私から 離れる心も 見えないわ そう知らない？
nagareteku toki no naka de demo kedarusa ga hora guru-guru mawatte
watashi kara hanareru kokoro mo mienai wa sou shiranai?
Even as time flows on the listlessness, don’t you see it spinning ’round and ’round?
I can’t even see my heart – it’s left me. Have you seen it anywhere?
自分から 動くこともなく 時の隙間に 流され続けて
知らないわ 周りのことなど 私は私 それだけ？
jibun’ kara ugoku koto mo naku toki no sukima ni nagasaretsudzukete
shiranai wa mawari no koto nado watashi wa watashi sore dake?
I don’t move or act on my own, but leave myself to be swept away into the crevices of time
I don’t know or care about what’s around me. I’m myself, that’s it. Is that all you have to say?
夢見てる？ なにも見てない？ 語るも無駄な 自分の言葉？
悲しむなんて 疲れるだけよ 何も感じず 過ごせばいいの
yume miteru? nani mo mitenai? kataru mo muda na jibun’ no kotoba?
kanashimu nan’te tsukareru dake yo nani mo kan’jizu sugoseba ii no
Am I dreaming, am I not? It’d be a waste of words to say. Even my own words?
Should I be sad? It’s a waste of energy. It’s better to feel nothing and float on
戸惑う言葉 与えられても 自分の心 ただ上の空
もし私から 動くのならば すべて変えるのなら 黒にする
tomadou kotoba ataeraretemo jibun’ no kokoro tada uwa no sora
moshi watashi kara ugoku no naraba subete kaeru no nara kuro ni suru
Even if you try to make me think, my heart’s not paying attention
If I were to actually do something, if I were to change everything, I’d paint it black
こんな自分に 未来はあるの？ こんな世界に 私はいるの？
今切ないの？ 今悲しいの？ 自分の事も わからないまま
kon’na jibun’ ni mirai wa aru no? kon’na sekai ni watashi wa iru no?
ima setsunai no? ima kanashii no? jibun’ no koto mo wakaranai mama
Is there any future for me like this? Does this world even need me?
Is this pain? Is this sadness? I really have no idea how I feel
歩むことさえ 疲れるだけよ 人のことなど 知りもしないわ
こんな私も 変われるのなら もし変われるのなら 白になる？
ayumu koto sae tsukareru dake yo hito no koto nado shiri mo shinai wa
kon’na watashi mo kawareru no nara moshi kawareru no nara shiro ni naru?
Just walking is tiring to me. Do you really think I have the capacity to think of others?
Even if this me I am were capable of change, if I really could, would I then become white?
流れてく 時の中ででも 気だるさがほら グルグル廻って
私から 離れる心も 見えないわ そう知らない？
nagareteku toki no naka de demo kedarusa ga hora guru-guru mawatte
watashi kara hanareru kokoro mo mienai wa sou shiranai?
Even as time flows on the listlessness, don’t you see it spinning ’round and ’round?
I can’t even see my heart – it’s left me. Have you seen it anywhere?
自分から 動くこともなく 時の隙間に 流され続けて
知らないわ 周りのことなど 私は私 それだけ？
jibun’ kara ugoku koto mo naku toki no sukima ni nagasaretsudzukete
shiranai wa mawari no koto nado watashi wa watashi sore dake?
I don’t move or act on my own, but leave myself to be swept away into the crevices of time
I don’t know or care about what’s around me. I’m myself, that’s it. Is that all you have to say?
夢見てる？ なにも見てない？ 語るも無駄な 自分の言葉？
悲しむなんて 疲れるだけよ 何も感じず 過ごせばいいの
yume miteru? nani mo mitenai? kataru mo muda na jibun’ no kotoba?
kanashimu nan’te tsukareru dake yo nani mo kan’jizu sugoseba ii no
Am I dreaming, am I not? It’d be a waste of words to say. Even my own words?
Should I be sad? It’s a waste of energy. It’s better to feel nothing and float on
戸惑う言葉 与えられても 自分の心 ただ上の空
もし私から 動くのならば すべて変えるのなら 黒にする
tomadou kotoba ataeraretemo jibun’ no kokoro tada uwa no sora
moshi watashi kara ugoku no naraba subete kaeru no nara kuro ni suru
Even if you try to make me think, my heart’s not paying attention
If I were to actually do something, if I were to change everything, I’d paint it black
無駄な時間に 未来はあるの？ こんな所に 私はいるの？
私のことを 言いたいならば 言葉にするのなら 「ろくでなし」
muda na jikan’ ni mirai wa aru no? kon’na tokoro ni watashi wa iru no?
watashi no koto wo iitai naraba kotoba ni suru no nara “roku de nashi”
Is there a future for time spent worthlessly? Can you really say I’m here, in this place?
If you want to talk about me, if you want to put me into words, I’m a ‘Bad Apple’
こんな所に 私はいるの？ こんな時間に 私はいるの？
こんな私も 変われるのなら もし変われるのなら 白になる？
kon’na tokoro ni watashi wa iru no? kon’na jikan’ ni watashi wa iru no?
kon’na watashi mo kawareru no nara moshi kawareru no nara shiro ni naru?
Can you really say I’m here, in this place? Can you really say I’m here, in this time?
Even if this me I am were capable of change, if I really could, would I then become white?
今夢見てる？ なにも見てない？ 語るも無駄な 自分の言葉？
悲しむなんて 疲れるだけよ 何も感じず 過ごせばいいの
ima yume miteru? nani mo mitenai? kataru mo muda na jibun’ no kotoba?
kanashimu nan’te tsukareru dake yo nani mo kan’jizu sugoseba ii no
Am I dreaming, am I not? It’d be a waste of words to say. Even my own words?
Should I be sad? It’s a waste of energy. It’s better to feel nothing and float on
戸惑う言葉 与えられても 自分の心 ただ上の空
もし私から 動くのならば すべて変えるのなら 黒にする
tomadou kotoba ataeraretemo jibun’ no kokoro tada uwa no sora
moshi watashi kara ugoku no naraba subete kaeru no nara kuro ni suru
Even if you try to make me think, my heart’s not paying attention
If I were to actually do something, if I were to change everything, I’d paint it black
動くのならば 動くのならば すべて壊すの すべて壊すわ
悲しむならば 悲しむならば 私の心 白く変われる？
ugoku no naraba ugoku no naraba subete kowasu no subete kowasu wa
kanashimu naraba kanashimu naraba watashi no kokoro shiroku kawareru?
If I were to actually move, do something, I’d destroy everything, everything
If I were to be sad, if I were to be sad, then would my heart become white?
貴方の事も 私の事も 全ての事も まだ知らないの
重い目蓋を 開けたのならば すべて壊すのなら 黒になれ!!!
anata no koto mo watashi no koto mo subete no koto mo mada shiranai no
omoi mabuta wo aketa no naraba subete kowasu no nara kuro ni nare!!!
I don’t know you, I don’t know myself, nor do I know anything else
But if I am to open my heavy eyelids, if I am to destroy everything, I’ll paint it all black!
