English translation

Japanese

=======
[1] Chara pronounces 悲しい (kanashii) as “kawaii” and かわいい (kawaii) as “kanashii” in the album recording of this song, but in versions performed live, the pronunciation follows the lyrics listed in the booklet. I suspect the album mixing switched the order of the chorus and the booklet’s lyrics are the intended lyrics.

[2] もの mono: thing. Pronounced as “ai” (love).
