Senaka no Zipper by Oomori Seiko

     (背中のジッパー　by大森靖子）

I hope the night like this would never come again

I'm begging you

I don't want you to see me like this

So close your eyes

I want to dance the last dance with you

I wish I could take off this heavy dress right away

I wonder how big I am in the full-body suit

Seeking for the memory that's never gonna appear in the mirror

The story like this would end very soon

in an instant

I want to be with you in the last scene

I wish I could take off this thick makeup on my face right away

I wonder how much the heart in the full-body suit has grown

A remnant of the girl who told a lie for the first time

My favorite cartoon character

"See you next week"

But I'm not sure if I can still love you till I'll see you next time

I tried to unzip the suit and look into it

But there was nothing inside!

Not even the secret to be disclosed

Not even the signature phrase after a deadly blow*

I have not prepared any of them yet

So wait patiently for a little while

*In cartoon or video game, after defeating enemy the character may always say some cool phrase.

The first song in the video is kind of like a rock version of Senaka no Zipper.

The third song in this video is acoustic version of it. It's funny how the same song sound different in two versions. I love both versions though!

<Japanese Version>

こんな夜はもう二度とこないでくれよ

お願いだから

こんな姿は君にみられたくない

目を伏せていて

ラストダンスを君と踊りたい

重たいドレスならもう脱ぎ捨てて 今すぐ

着ぐるみのなかの私は

どれくらいの大きさだろう

鏡にうつるはずもない

記憶を探して

こんな物語なら

すぐに終わるよ

あっという間さ

ラストシーンを君と飾りたい

いなたいメイクはがしてしまったら 今すぐ

着ぐるみのなかの心は

どれほど育っているだろう

はじめて嘘ついた時の

少女のおもかげ

大好きな漫画のキャラクター

シーユーネクストウィーク

そのときまで君のこと好きでいられるかな

ためしに私の背中の透明なジッパーを

おろして中をのぞいても

そこにはなんにもなかった！

あばかれるほどの秘密も

必殺のキメゼリフも

まだ容易していないから

ちょっとだけおあずけ



<Romaji Version>
Konna yoru wa mou nidoto konaide kureyo
Onegai dakara
konna sugata wa kimi ni miraretakunai

Rasuto dansu wo kimi to odoritai
omotai doresu nara mou nugisutete ima sugu

Kigurumi no naka no watashi wa
dorekurai no ookisa darou
kagami ni utsuru hazu mo nai
kioku wo sagashite

konna monogatari nara

Rasuto siin wo kimi to kazaritai
inatai meiku hagashite shimattara ima sugu

kigurumi no naka no kokoro wa
Dorehodo sodatte iru darou
hajimete uso tsuita toki no
syoujyo no omokage

daisuki na manga no kyarakutaa
See you next week
sono toki made kimi no koto suki de irareru kana

mada youi shite naikara

Chotto dake oazuke
