アンモライト・メモリー ♥ Anmoraito Memorī ♥ Ammolite Memory

小さな頃に　初めて触れた　ゲームの世界

chiisana koro ni hajimete fureta gēmu no sekai

When I was little, I first experienced the world of games

不思議な絵と　電子音に　惹かれた

fushigi na e to denshion ni hikareta

I was captivated by the amazing illustrations and electronic sounds

年代物の　筐体から　映る世界は

nendaimono no kyōtai kara utsuru sekai wa

The world displayed on the vintage box

今ではもう チープだけど 懐かしくて

ima de wa mō chīpu da kedo natsukashikute

is considered cheap nowadays but it's nostalgic

数えきれない思い出と　夢が溢れだす世界

kazoekirenai omoide to yume ga afuredasu sekai

It was a world abounding in countless memories and dreams

夢中で駆け巡っていた　時間も忘れて

muchū de kakemegutte ita jikan mo wasurete

where I'd lose track of the time running about absorbed in the game

耳に残るあのメロディ　今でも心に響く

mimi ni nokoru ano merodi ima demo kokoro ni hibiku

The melodies that linger in my ears still resonate in my heart today

昔は良かったなんて　ただそれだけじゃない

mukashi wa yokatta nante tada soredake ja nai

It's not enough to say that those days were great

終わりの見えない　パズルゲームは　大人が強くて

owari no mienai pazuru gēmu wa otona ga tsuyokute

The adults were better at the endless puzzle games

悔しかった　でも憧れた　あいつのカーチャン

kuyashikatta demo akogareta aitsu no kāchan

It frustrated me but I looked up to my friend's mum

繰り返しやった　飽きること無く　同じゲームを

kurikaeshiyatta akiru koto naku onaji gēmu o

I played the same game over and over without getting bored

あの頃と　変わったのは　僕なのだろう

ano koro to kawatta no wa boku na no darō

I wonder if what's changed since back then is me

数えきれない思い出と　夢が溢れだす世界

kazoekirenai omoide to yume ga afuredasu sekai

It was a world abounding in dreams and countless memories

理不尽なバランスには　挫けそうになった

rifujin na baransu ni wa kujikesō ni natta

I almost gave up at how absurdly unfair it was

耳に残るあのメロディ　今でも心に響く

mimi ni nokoru ano merodi ima demo kokoro ni hibiku

The melody that lingers in my ears still resonates in my heart today

セーブが消えた哀しみも　今は笑い話

sēbu ga kieta kanashimi mo ima wa waraibanashi

The grief of losing my save file is something to laugh about today

記憶の箱は　ノイズが溢れて

kioku no hako wa noizu ga afurete

The box in my memory was full of noise

映りづらい　場面も増えていく

utsurizurai bamen mo fuete iku

and more and more scenes were difficult to display

僕らは　セーブ出来ないから

bokura wa sēbu dekinai kara

Because we can't save progress

フリーシナリオじゃ　不安もあるよね

furī shinario ja fuan mo aru yo ne

open-ended games can make you anxious

画面の奥に広がる　非現実的な世界

gamen no oku ni hirogaru hi genjitsuteki na sekai

Fantastical worlds appear across the screen

交じること無いストーリーが　今日も絶えず続く

majiru koto nai sutōrī ga kyō mo taezu tsuzuku

Stories that don't involve other players continue endlessly another day

数えきれない憧れと　夢が溢れだす世界

kazoekirenai akogare to yume ga afuredasu sekai

It's a world abounding in countless aspirations and dreams

夢中で駆け巡っていこう　時間も忘れて

muchū de kakemegutte ikō jikan mo wasurete

Let's lose track of the time running about absorbed in the game

耳に残るあのメロディ　今でも　いついつまでも

mimi ni nokoru ano merodi ima demo itsu itsumademo

The melody lingers in my ears even now and forever

ありふれた今日がいつか　虹色になるまで

arifureta kyō ga itsuka nijiiro ni naru made

until this ordinary day someday turns multicoloured
