This was by far the most time-consuming and frustrating song to translate, I have ever done. Not because the Japanese was particularly complicated or difficult, but because of the obfuscated way the meaning is delivered. Basically, you won't be able to hear any of the romanized lyrics in the song, because it's all reversed! KENTO's song-writing process on this song went something like this:

1. Write the song
2. Romanize it completely
3. Reverse the entire thing
4. Add random line breaks and spaces
5. Attempt to sing the result

This in itself makes it difficult to translate back to just Japanese, and not least English, because you have to figure out where the actual spaces are supposed to be, and then go from romanized Japanese to kanji, another difficult task. But simply getting the romanized lyrics really takes the cake here. It's absolutely impossible to understand 556t's enunciation from the song, and seemingly, the only written copy of the lyrics is this low-res picture, which I saved like 4 or 5 years ago, and luckily still had a copy of.

So it took a long time to even read the letters correctly, reverse the order, make them into real Japanese words, make it into Japanese script and finally translate it. But here it is

EDIT (2017-08-18): I have made some corrections to the translation based on feedback from 空見りんき. Thanks :)
