LYRICS

認めたくないと 見ないフリしてたもの

俺に言わせれば こっちこそリアルな本性

いつだって正しいこと　エゴが満たされる?

自分なりに探してきた　キレイ事だな

超えられぬ存在 認めざるを得ない

そこにお前がいたんだ

傷の裏 冷酷さ育つ

心の奥 根深く繋がれた

切り離せば自分が欠けてしまうほど

Part of me 同じ 存在

Can't stay apart

俺に従えよ 邪魔なもの排除して

心を失くした 悪魔にはなりたくないさ

その身体乗っ取るまで　黙ってくれよ

遠慮なんかしねえからな　ふざけないでくれ

生ぬるい正義がそんなに大事なら

俺を消すしかないな

向き合えば 優しさ感染る

心の奥 隠した闇にきっと

数えきれず救われて来たんだらう

Part of me 同じ 存在

Can't stay apart

鏡映るのは誰? 俺かお前か

見分けもつかないほど似ているのは

お前の心に 棲みついてるもの

受け入れて強くなる

傷の裏 冷酷さ育つ

心の奥 根深く繋がれた

切り離せば自分が欠けてしまうほど

Part of me 同じ1人さ

向き合えば 優しさ感染る

心の奥隠した闇にきっと

数えきれず救われて来たんだろう

Part of me 同じ 存在

Can't stay apart

TRANSLATIONS

Text code key: Regular - Daiji   *   Italics - Kagerou    *     Bold - Both

I pretended not to see it, I don’t even want to acknowledge it

Well according to me, I’d say I’m the real character

All this time my justice was to satisfy your ego?

It’s to find my own way —That’s just pretty excuses

Unable to suppress it, I had no choice but to accept its existence

And there you are, standing close

Under the scar ruthlessness grew,

Deeply rooted in the depths of my heart, already tied together

Cutting it away would be the same as destroying myself

Part of me, the same being

Can’t stay apart

Just give in to me and eliminate everyone in your way,

I don’t want to become a demon that’s lost his heart

Until this body becomes mine — Just shut up

I won’t go easy on you — Stop messing with me

If your superficial justice is so important to you,

Then I guess you have no choice but to take me out

If we face each other, kindness will be reflected*

And even that darkness concealed in my heart, surely

No matter how many times, you’ll definitely come save me

Part of me, the same being

Can’t stay apart

Whose reflection is that? Is that me or you?

We’ve become so alike that I can’t even tell myself apart

That being residing in your heart

Accepting it, I’ll become stronger

Under the scar ruthlessness grew,

Deeply rooted in the depths of my heart, already tied together

Cutting it away would be the same as destroying myself

Part of me, because we’re the same person

If we face each other, kindness will be reflected*

And even that darkness concealed in my heart, surely

No matter how many times, you’ll definitely come save me

Part of me, the same being

Can’t stay apart

TL note:

* the kanji used here is  感染 (kansen) = infect, contagious but in the song it was sung as  映る (utsuru) = reflected. I decided to translate with the latter

** Please take note of the difference between the chorus and who sings which part. It changes at the end of the song which probably has its significance

COMMENT FROM AVEX SOUND WEB

Igarashi Daiji & Kagerou duet song = Wataru Hyuga solo song

is born!

The song title is “Mirage Mirror”.

The lyrics are written by Fujibayashi Shouko-san, and the composition is by Ryo-san who has worked on many Kamen Rider songs before this.

For Ryo-san, this is their first time making a song for Kamen Rider Revice.

And for Hyuga-kun who took on the difficult task of singing for both Daiji and Kagerou head-on, Mirage Mirror turned into a wonderful song that fully demonstrated his expressiveness and singing ability!

△ Hyuga-kun during recording

#kamen rider revice #igarashi daiji #kagerou #the rollercoaster of emotions of this song...!!! #sorry it took so long but i wanted to make sure i give my all for this song #also tumblr formatting on mobile sucks so bad i had to redo this a couple of times ugh #banantls
