After Watch a battle scene :
I don't think this game suits me.



After Watch the opening animation :

"Clockwork Orange"

*Happy cured noises*

8: reddiver1234 2020/05/20 20:21

Open the curtains, lights on
Don't miss a moment of this experiment
Oh the book is strange, like clockwork orange
Keep your eyes buttered till the end

Which "you" are you going to be?
Hmm
Inside the mirror do you see
Someone else in that body?

Dance for me
One and
Two and
Three and
Turn around

Sit like a doggy till I finish my read
Cut it off, cut down your loss
All this stubborn loyalty is gonna get you killed
In a world built on convenient theories
For the puppets on TV, there is comfort in the strings
If you're gonna control me, at least make it interesting theatrically

How does it feel to be free?
Why don't you try it yourself?
The gate opened on me
So I leap

Down, down, and down I go
I tell myself I'm a tough girl
Down, down, and down I go
I tell myself I'm a tough girl

I could never, ever, ever touch the soil
My heart goes right
My head goes left
And end up on your bed
Huh

Sure I'll be your marionette
Here tug on my thread
Spread me open for dolly pink, snow white artificial beauty
Maybe we're all cold machines
Stuffed in human skin, with human sins
Sewed up by the gods of city

Cut it out you've already lost
All that precious bravery is gonna get your hurt
In a world that feeds on the minority
May that self-centered belief lead you to peace
If you're gonna replace me
At least have the audacity to kill me thoroughly

When does it end for me?
Hm
I think I am done with everything
Now I am ready to leave

Dragging out
One line
Two lines
Three lines

Connect our hands
When I no longer can live on knowledge alone
You give me strength
Hopeful curiosity
Maybe there are still happy answers left for my discovery

What's the colour of the electric sheep you see?
And if you love me
Can you love your everything too, for me?

9: The Meme Man 2020/05/20 20:19

the classic dope music but depressing lyrics is back boiiiisss

10: Celina Q. 2020/05/21 1:44

"If you're going to replace me, at least have the audacity to kill me thoroughly"
God that hit hard

11: Raymond 2020/05/20 20:07

That was worth the wait goodnight and good morning to everyone 😔

12: Lucas PRS 2020/05/21 2:18

So are we the marionettes and the one controlling us is Angela? Love Lobotomy corp one of my favorite games, and mili is my favorite band im so sold for Library of Ruina.

13: Leanne Yu 2020/05/20 20:40

2:33 start on here，the lyrics let me think about Rubber Human，and the word like "buttered" "love"，let me feel similar with these

14: hatty 2020/05/20 20:42

𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤. 𝐋𝐢𝐛𝐫𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐧. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐂𝐢𝐭𝐲 ✨

Holy shiit Mili and Project Moon!
This was unexpected, this fits Library of Ruina so well!

18: S하르든 2020/05/20 22:32

I've always wanted to be a librarian!
..Ruina?

19: Sjman 2020/05/20 23:52

20: Sæhrimnir 2020/05/20 20:07

Mili + Jazz =


PERFECTION

22: Mikaeru Rou 2020/05/20 20:07

-What's the colour of the electric sheep you see?
-DR., I'M NOT HIGH, I SWEAR!

23: alexis 2020/05/20 20:07

THIS IS FANTASTIC! I'm so glad I was there for the premiere. Taking a dive into jazz/swing was such a good idea for this song, and you have the talent to make it work beautifully.

24: Beatrice 2020/05/20 20:07

한국 Mili팬들 모여라~!!! 끼요오오오옷~!!!

25: 藍光影 2020/05/20 21:31

"What`s the colour of the electric sheep you see?"
I don`t know why this line hit me so hard.

26: Box Fox 2020/05/20 21:58

mili x project moon, was the most amazing and suprising thing yet

27: Aeterne Music 2020/05/21 2:13

It's just wonderful how Mili can handle different music genres without losing what they are.
I love it :3

Mili - String Theocracy

日本語訳

幕を開き
ライトをつけて
一瞬も見逃さないでねこの実験を
あら　本はなんて奇妙なもの
時計仕掛けのオレンジのように(※１)
終演まで　目玉にバターを塗って潤してね

これから　どのあなたになりたい？
んん　鏡に映る肉体の中
ほかに誰かがいるのではないか？
踊りを見せて　一　二　三　回転
ワンちゃんみたいに　本を読み終わるまでお座り

切りなさい　損を切り詰め
都合のいいセオリーだけで作り上げられたこの世界では
その頑固な中世は　いつかあなたの死に至るものになるでしょう
テレビの向こうの人形達は
糸に慰められることもある
私を操るのならば　せめて演劇的に面白くしてもらえないでしょうか？

自由になるって　どんな感じ？
んん　「自分で試してみたら？」
扉は私のために開く

私は飛び降りた
奥まで　奥まで　落ち続く
私はタフな子だ　そう自分に言い聞かせた
奥まで　奥まで　落ち続く
しかし　どうしても　どうしても　土を踏むことはできなかった
ココロは右へ
理性は左へ
気が付いたら　あなたはベットの上にいた

はあ　マリオネットになってあげても別に構いません？(※２)
広げたピンクは可愛らしいお人形さん　白雪のような人工美
私たちはみんな　冷たい機械なのかもしれません
人間的な肌に包まれ　人間的な罪を犯し
都会の神様に縫い合わせられたぬいぐるみ

やめなさい　もうあなたの負け
マイノリティーを消費し食いつぶしたこの世界では
そのいとおしい勇気は　いつかあなたを深く傷つけるものになるのでしょう
そういう自己中心的な思考はあなたたちを安らぎに導くといいわね
私を入れ替えるのなら　せめて私を徹底的に消滅させる度胸を見せてもらえないでしょうか？

私の終焉はいつ来るのかな？
んん　もう何もかも　飽きてしまった
立ち去る準備はできた

線を引き　一つ　二つ　三つ　私たちの手を繋ぐ
全知全能だけっで生きていられなくなった時に
あなたは私に強さを分けてくれた
希望に満ちた好奇心を与えてくれた
私に発見されることを期待している幸せの答えは　まだこの世に残っているのかもしれない
あなたの見る電気羊は何色でしょうか？(※３)
また　もし私のことをあいしているのであれば
私の代わりにあなたの全ても愛してくれますか？

※１　「時計仕掛けのオレンジ」アンソニー・バージェスが1962年に発表した小説名。
※２　マリオネット＝糸操り人形
※３　「電気羊」フィリップ・K・ディックのSF小説‘‘アンドロイドは電気羊の夢を見るか?‘‘が元ネタ

33: kaza 2020/05/20 21:04

歌詞の一つ一つを深く考えてしまう
本当綺麗な音楽とそこに込められた物語が最高 これ聴きながらLoRするね…

34: gavin R.B 2020/05/20 20:51

"Welcome to the library, dear guest"

35: Cordyceps 2020/05/20 22:33

I love the "Down, down, down I go" part

36: im_sorry_i_forgot_my_username 2020/05/20 20:06

This is so uniquely jazzy, and yet it's still unmistakably Mili. Amazing work.

37: Socially Awkward Potato 2020/05/21 6:45

1:16 the tone change in here was so good.

38: 青リンゴ 2020/05/20 19:51

サムネで分かる神がかってるやつやん

39: おみおみ 2020/05/20 18:45

あやつり人形？ 人外キャラ好き……miliの曲ファンタジーみして好きだから楽しみだな！

40: スパミクロ 2020/05/21 0:49

This song reminds me of my friend who just "Erased" herself from this what so called "World" to others. As i might say she set free herself from her own vessel. Thank you for this song ! ! !

41: Upt 262 2020/05/20 23:08

OMG that is a clockwork orange reference!? :O

42: Koeryn O'Conner 2020/05/20 20:51

I love the swing! This was fan-tastic.

43: Evelgent 2020/05/20 21:24

Finally i can hear and bask this in its full glory!

44: Mezis _ 2020/05/20 20:13

This song is SOO GOOD that it actually gave me goosebumps i'm amazed..<з

45: Kira Kelvin 2020/05/21 3:02

Suddenly the black clouds disappear when i listen to this...

46: Pastel Hot Mess 2020/05/20 22:52

the jazzy beat and Cassie's cute voice makes the song super fun and engaging! Nice one again MILI!!

47: 쁘첼 2020/05/21 15:17

자막 달아두고 하루 지나서 왔더니 다른 분들이 고쳐서 올려주셨네요! 감사합니다!
여기다 가사(초본에서 쪼금 수정함) 한 번 더 올려두고 갈게요!
프로젝트문 쪽에서 번역한 것과 살짝 다른 부분 있어요~!

영문 가사
공식 일문 자막
한글 번역 (영문 위주로 번역하되, 일문 자막의 뉘앙스를 반영)

Open the curtains
幕を開き
막을 열고

Lights on
ライトをつけて
조명을 켜

Don't miss a moment of this experiment
一瞬も見逃さないでね　この実験を
이 실험의 순간을 놓치지 말고 지켜봐

Oh, the book is strange
あら　本はなんて奇妙なもの
오, 책이란 신기해

Like clockwork orange
時計じかけのオレンジのように
마치 시계태엽 오렌지처럼

Keep your eyes buttered till the end
終演まで　目玉にバターを塗って潤してね
결말까지 주의를 기울여

Which "you" are you going to be?
これから　どのあなたになりたい？
이제부터 어떤 '당신'이 되고 싶어?

Inside the mirror do you see Someone else in that body?
鏡に映る肉体の中　他の誰かが居るのではないか？
거울에 비치는 육신 속에 또다른 누군가가 있지는 않아?

Dance for me One and two and three and turn around
踊りを見せて　一　二　三　回転
나를 위해 춤 춰 하나, 둘, 셋, 그리고 뒤돌아

Sit like a doggy till I finish my read
ワンちゃんみたいに　本を読み終わるまでお座り
내가 책을 다 읽을 때까지 강아지처럼 얌전히 앉아 있어

Cut it off, cut down your loss
切りなさい　損を切り詰め
그만둬, 더는 잃지 마

All that stubborn loyalty is gonna get you killed In a world built on convenient theories
都合のいいセオリーだけで作り上げられたこの世界では　その頑固な忠誠は　いつかあなたの死に至るものになるのでしょう
형편 좋은 이론만으로 쌓아올려진 이 세계에서는 그 완고한 충성이 언젠가 당신을 죽음에 이르게 할 거야

For the puppets on TV There is comfort in the strings
テレビの向こうの人形達は　糸に慰められることもある
TV 속의 인형들은 자신을 매다는 실에 안도를 느끼지

If you're gonna control me
私を操るのならば
만일 네가 나를 조종할 거라면

At least make it interesting theatrically
せめて演劇的に面白くして貰えないでしょうか？
적어도 재미있는 인형극을 연출해 주지 않을래?

How does it feel to be free?
自由になるって　どんな感じ？
자유란 어떤 느낌이지?

"Why don't you try it yourself?"
「自分で試してみたら？」
"스스로 시험해 보는 건 어때?"

The gate opened on me
扉は私のために開く
문은 나를 위해서 열리고

So I leaped
私は飛び降りた
나는 뛰어내려

Down, down, and down I go
奥まで　奥まで　落ち続く
깊숙이 깊숙이 떨어져 가

I tell myself I'm a tough girl
私はタフな子だ　そう自分に言い聞かせた
나는 내가 거친 소녀라고 혼잣말해

Down, down, and down I go
奥まで　奥まで　落ち続く
깊숙이 깊숙이 떨어져 가

I could never, ever, ever touch the soil
しかし　どうしても　どうしても　土を踏むことはできなかった
하지만 어떻게 해도 땅에 발이 닿지는 않아

My heart goes right
ココロは右へ
나의 마음은 오른쪽으로

My head goes left
理性は左へ
나의 이성은 왼쪽으로

And end up on your bed
気がついたら　あなたのベッドの上に居た
끝내 당신의 침대 위에 있어

Sure I'll be your marionette
マリオネットになってあげても別に構いませんよ？
당신의 마리오네트가 되어도 상관없어

Here, tug on my thread
ほら　糸を引っ張って
자, 실을 당겨

Spread me open for dolly pink, snow white artificial beauty
拡げたピンクは可愛らしいお人形さん　白雪のような人工美
사랑스러운 분홍빛, 백설공주 같은 인공미人工美를 위해 펼쳐 줘

Maybe we're all cold machines
私達はみんな　冷たい機械なのかもしれません
우리는 모두 차가운 기계일지도 몰라

Stuffed in the human skin
人間的な肌に包まれ
인간의 피부 속에 쑤셔넣어져

With human sins
人間的な罪を犯し
인간의 죄를 범하고

Sewed up by the gods of city
都会の神様に縫い合わせられたぬいぐるみ
도시의 신들에 의해 꿰메어져


Cut it out, you've already lost
やめなさい　もうあなたの負け
그만둬, 이미 다 잃었어

All that precious bravery is gonna get you hurt In a world that feeds on the minority
マイノリティーを消費し食いつぶしたこの世界では　その愛おしい勇気は　いつかあなたを深く傷つけるものになるのでしょう
소수성을 소비하고 먹어치우는 이 세계에서는 그 소중한 용기가 언젠가 당신을 깊게 상처입히고 말 거야

May that self-centered belief lead you to peace
そういう自己中心的な思考はあなた達を安らぎへ導くといいわね
그런 자기중심적 사고가 당신들을 안식으로 이끌지도 모르지

If you're gonna replace me
私を入れ替えるのなら
만일 네가 나를 대체할 거라면

At least have the audacity to kill me thoroughly
せめて私を徹底的に消滅させる度胸を見せて貰えないでしょうか？
적어도 나를 철저히 소멸시킬 배짱을 보여 주지 않을래?


When does it end for me?
私の終演はいつ来るのかな？
나의 결말은 언제 찾아올까?

I think I am done with everything
もう何もかも　飽きてしまった
난 이미 모든 것에 싫증이 났어

Now I'm ready to leave
立ち去る準備は出来た
떠날 준비는 되어 있어


Dragging out One line two lines three lines
線を引き　一つ　二つ　三つ
실을 당겨 하나, 둘, 셋

Connect our hands
私達の手を繋ぐ
우리의 손을 잡고

When I no longer can live on knowledge alone
全知全能だけで生きていられなくなった時に
내가 지식만으로는 살아있을 수 없게 되었을 때에


You gave me strength
あなたは私に強さを分けてくれた
당신은 내게 힘을 북돋아 주었어

Hopeful curiosity
希望に満ちた好奇心を与えてくれた
희망적인 호기심을 주었어

Maybe there are still happy answers left for my discovery
私に発見されることを期待している幸せの答えは　まだこの世に残っているのかもしれない
어쩌면 내게 발견될 행복한 대답이 아직 남아있을지도 몰라


What's the colour of the electric sheep you see?
あなたの見る電気羊は何色でしょうか？
당신이 보는 전기 양은 어떤 색을 띠고 있어?

And if you love me
また　もし私のことを愛しているのであれば
그리고 만일 나를 사랑한다면

Can you love your everything too, for me?
私の代わりに　あなたのすべても愛してくれますか？
날 위해 내 대신 당신의 모든 것을 사랑해 주지 않을래?
