Here’s the English lyrics for “hands”. I’d planned to do Y-Ji Road next, but then I went to do karaoke after beating the game and saw this had appeared. Even on the first play through, I understood enough to know I wanted to do this one first!

Since it’s Premium Adventure exclusive though, please consider it may be spoiler-ish before clicking read more (I would say only in tone, there’s definitely nothing story-specific). (Um … unless you didn’t already know about the baby!)

 

hands

深夜2時　均一なループ
どんな夢を見てる
無意識に握り返す　指先に小さな愛（ラブ）
いつまで見れる　どこまで行ける
無情にめくれるカレンダー
弱くて儚い　握力ゼロのhands
きっと気づかぬうちに
この手を振りほどき　背中を乗り越え
愛する誰かを守るんだろう

泣き虫で　いくじなしで
二本足も震えている
いつかは来る　サヨナラが来る
次の日のないカレンダー
嘘色染めゆく　醜い世界は
辛い向かい風が吹く
それでも　立ち向かう
小さな正義を　絶対誰かがみてるから

いつまで見れる　どこまで生ける
どんな夢を見てる
汚れなく暖かい　握力ゼロのhands
大丈夫さ　この手は
俺の手振りほどき　背中を乗り越え
愛する誰かを守る手だ

Late night, 2am, a regular loop
Whatever you’re dreaming
An unconscious squeeze from the small love at my fingertip
How far can we see? How long can we go on?
The calendar relentlessly advances
Zero-grip hands are weak, they can’t hold on
But don’t be scared
Let go of this hand, come out from behind my back
I will protect those I love

Once a crybaby, once a coward
now standing shakily on your own two feet
When is it coming? Goodbye is coming
There’s no next day on the calendar
In this ugly world stained with lies
an evil wind is blowing
But face it head-on
because in a small way you can do right by someone

However far you see, however long you live
Whatever you dream
Zero-grip hands are clean and warm
It’s okay, this hand
can let go of my hand, come out from behind my back
These are hands that protect those they love
