Ken Hirai "Oni ni Narimashita" English Lyrics (平井堅「鬼になりました」歌詞)
"Oni ni Narimashita" is a song by Ken Hirai. Have you noticed how many years we’ve been living in this inadequate 1K?
How long were you waiting on me, who didn’t notice the rising prices?
One morning, my friend that said the future was scary suddenly shut the door in my face
The only remnants of our friendship are photos of fake laughter at a party on the internet
It’s because of the era we were born in. Our luck was absolutely horrible
I let out a tepid sigh and butcher the days where I was driven into a corner
In the same place we sang “Kagome Kagome” they spun around me as I crouched down
I was never chosen, not even once, but I elude the current situation thown at me
For their sake and for mine, I became a demon
What’s better than the dumb dream I profusely watched countless times
Where is the scream I squeeze out from my dried out throat disappearing to?
Without the emotional room to lend a helping hand to people that are suffering like me,
I continue to let out a tepid sigh. I’m frozen with fear unable to go anywhere
The ringing of “Kagome Kagome” doesn’t stop. Even if I cover my ears, they spin around and around forever and ever
Never believing in anyone, their faces changed and changed from enemy to friend
The race continues. It quietly continues. I will become a demon
In the same place we sang “Kagome Kagome” they spun around me as I crouched down
I was never chosen, not even once, but I elude the current situation thrown at me
For their sake and for mine, I became a demon
*The song references a Japanese children’s gam called “Kagome Kagome.” In this game, one person is selected to be the “oni” or “demon” while the other players hold hands and walk in circles around the “oni.” Those spinning around the “oni” chant the song for the game and when it’s done, the “oni” tries to guess the person who is standing behind them. As such, the “oni” is either blindfolded or has to cover their eyes.
** A 1K is a Japanese apartment that consists of one room and a kitchen
Fukeba tobu you na 1K de ki ga tsukya nannen sundenda?
Agarime mienai kono boku wo ki ga tsukya nannen mattenda
Mirai ga kowai to yuujin wa aru asa totsuzen doa shimeta
Netto ni nokotta konseki nya tanoshiki utage no karawarai
Umareta jidai no sei na no desu tada tada un ga warui no desu
Namanurui tameiki wo haite nicchi mo sacchi mo ikanai hibi wo tsubusu
Kagome kagome to onaji basho sa shagamikonderu jibun wo gururi gururi
Erabareta koto nado ichido mo nai kedo tsukitsukerareta genjou wo norarikurari
Aitsu no tame ni jibun no tame ni boku wa oni ni narimashita
Yatara to nando mo mite shimau manuke na yume yori mashi na no ka
Kawaita nodo kara shiboridasu himei wa dokoka de kieru no ka
Nita you na kurushimi motsu hito ni te wo sashinoberu yoyuu mo naku
Namanurui tameiki wa tsuzuku acchi mo kocchi mo ikezu ni ashi ga sukumu
Kagome kagome ga nariyamanai mimi fusaide mo en'en to gururi gururi
Dareka wo shinjita koto nado nai hora teki to mikata ga kao kaete kururi kururi
Reesu wa tsuzuku shizuka ni tsuzuku boku wa oni ni narimasu
Kagome kagome to onaji basho sa shagamikonderu jibun wo gururi gururi
Erabareta koto nado ichido mo nai kedo tsukitsukerareta genjou wo norari kurari
Aitsu no tame ni jibun no tame ni boku wa oni ni narimashita
吹けば飛ぶ様な1Kで 気がつきゃ何年住んでんだ？
上がり目見えないこの僕を 気がつきゃ何年待ってんだ
未来が怖いと友人は ある朝突然ドア閉めた
ネットに残った痕跡にゃ 楽しき宴の空笑い
生まれた時代のせいなのです ただただ運が悪いのです
生ぬるいため息を吐いて にっちもさっちもいかない日々を潰す
かごめかごめと同じ場所さ しゃがみ込んでる自分をぐるりぐるり
選ばれたことなど一度も無い けど突きつけられた現状をのらりくらり
あいつのために 自分のために 僕は鬼になりました
やたらと何度も見てしまう まぬけな夢よりましなのか
乾いた喉から絞り出す 悲鳴はどこかで消えるのか
似た様な苦しみ持つ人に 手を差し伸べる余裕もなく
生ぬるいため息は続く あっちもこっちも行けずに足がすくむ
かごめかごめが鳴り止まない 耳塞いでも延々とぐるりぐるり
誰かを信じたことなどない ほら敵と味方が顔変えてくるりくるり
レースは続く 静かに続く 僕は鬼になります
かごめかごめと同じ場所さ しゃがみ込んでる自分をぐるりぐるり
選ばれたことなど一度も無い けど突きつけられた現状をのらりくらり
あいつのために 自分のために 僕は鬼になりました
