Mashi Mashi マシ • マシ by NICO Touches the Walls

Updated: Jan 28, 2023

力ずくじゃまだ届かず終い　ギリギリで繋いで放つ願い

Jikan wa sukuccha mada todokazu shi mai Girigiri de tsunaide hanatsu negai tada Out of energy, we still haven’t made it there- we connect with this wish at the last minute, setting it free! ただ人やタイミングにゃ恵まれてへこたれずにいられてる

Hito ya taimingu de megumarete Hekotarezu ni irareteru Being blessed with friends and proper timing, we’ve simply managed to not lose heart along the way 真っ向から勝負したい　迷ってもじっと堪えとこう

Makkou kara shoubu shi tai Mayotte mo jiku to korae toukon wo I wanna take this challenge head on! So even if you feel lost, keep enduring チャンスはそこにあるその気になったら凄いんだ、と「やればできる」じゃ勝てっこない Chansu wa soko ni aru Sono ki ni nattara sugoindato Yareba dekiru, jya kattekou ne

That’s where our chance will lie! Saying you’re awesome if you’re in the right mood, Or, “I can do it if I try”, just won’t do! Oh Oh

あとはきみしだいです　あとはきみしだい Ato wa kimi shidai desu Ato wa kimi shidai Everything else is up to you! It’s all up to you!

きっと甘い甘いと嘆いても　違うよ違うと歌っても

Kitto amai amai to nagettemo Chigau yo chigau to utattemo Surely, whether you lament over your naivety, or sing about how wrong everyone is あとはきみしだい　きみしだい Ato wa kimi shidai Kimi shidai

Everything else is up to you!

ああもったいないよ、が口癖のわりに好き嫌いも相当ない？

Ah mottainai yo ga kuchiguse no mawari no suki kirai mo sotto nai? For someone with the catchphrase, “Ahh, what a waste—”, you don’t seem to have many likes or dislikes ノリノリ？　いや懲り懲り？　酔いそうだよ

Nori nori? iya gori gori? yoisou dayo Are you up for anything? Just fed up? You’re making me dizzy! どうでもいいことだらけのフレーズを　また脳内100本ブロックで

Doudemo ii kotoba dake no flash your word Mata nou nai hyappon block de Inside my head, I’ve blocked 100 times, Beating back your meaningless phrases 打ち返してる何も気にしないでいられりゃ苦しゅうない Uchikaeshiteru Nannimo ki ni shinaide Iwarerya kurushiindai If you can keep things from bothering you, you won’t have any worries! Oh Oh

でも辛い辛いと叫んでも　土砂降りの雨に打たれても太陽は気にしない　気にしない Demo furai furai to sakendemo To shabureru ame ni utaretemo Taiyou wa ki ni shinai Ki ni shinai

But even if you scream out your suffering, or get caught in a downpour, The sun won’t pay you any mind… it just won’t mind!

今はゆとりもないし　悟るには早い風の色　目に沁みる

Ima wa yutori mo nai shi Satoru ni wa hayai Kaze no irome ni shimiru We have no leeway right now, but it’s too early for us to understand; The colors of the wind sting our eyes ゆとりをもって　悟り詰め込んで誇り高く生きたいのだ Yutori wo motte Soko ni tsumekonde Hokori takaku ikitai douka

So taking leeway in stride- packing understanding in tight-‘Cause I wanna walk on pridefully!

あとはきみしだいです　あとはきみしだい

Ato wa kimi shidai desu Ato wa kimi shidai Everything else is up to you! The rest is up to you! きっと理想、願いを叶えるも　黙って明日を迎えるも

Kitto risou negai wo kanaeru mo Damatte ashita wo mukaeru mo Surely, whether it’s making your ideals and dreams come true, or just shutting up and waiting for tomorrow あとはきみしだい

Ato wa kimi shidai Everything else is up to you! あとはきみしだいです　全部きみしだい

Ato wa kimi shidai desu Zenbu kimi shidai Everything else is up to you! It’s all up to you! きっと甘い甘いと云われても　違うよ違うと貶されたって

Kitto amai amai to iwarete mo Chigau yo chigau to kenasareta tte Surely, whether you’re told you’re being naive, or simply told you’re doing it wrong… あとはきみしだい　迷うんじゃない

Ato wa kimi shidai Mayoun ja nai Everything else is up to you! So don’t lose your way!

La la la la la la la

迷うんじゃない

Mayoun ja nai

So don’t lose your way!

La la la la la la la

きみしだい Kimi shidai Up to you!

La la la la la la la

きみしだい Kimi shidai

Up to you!
