Some notes:
Nostradamus (0:43) was an ancient French guy who prophesied a slew of things about the future. Notably, though, he never actually predicted the end of the world. Also, the part about "three minutes," there are about three minutes left in the song (but not the video)
"Kakushiaji" ("subtle seasonings" at 1:09, 2:55) is "subtle seasoning to bring out the flavor."
"Kidoairaku" ("human emotion" at 1:15, 3:01) is a compound of four emotions: joy, anger, pathos (sympathy/pity), and humor.
The line at 1:20 is a play on words. There is an idiom, "kujuu wo nameru," which means "to have a bitter experience," but literally says "to taste a bitter liquid." The songs says "taste (experience) hardships and be made to swallow bitter experiences (bitter liquid)."
"Getemono" (1:33) is cheap food sold in Japan made with really weird ingredients, like bugs and weird sea creatures. People usually try their best to avoid eating it.
The "three stars" at 1:37 is a reference to restaurant rankings. The Michelin Guide gives three stars to only the best of the best restaurants. It seems to be quite prestigious.
The accidental pun at 1:41 is all mine.
A "gourmet reporter" is someone who has a TV show in which they travel around and try different food, and tell the audience about it.
The last two lines (starting at 3:07) are a long pun that I couldn't transfer to English. The "ti" of the diatonic scale (do, re, mi, etc.) is "shi" in Japanese. He says that this "shi" represents "shiawase," which means "happiness." The next part is a reference to "sashisuseso" (in the kanji lyrics, but not sung) which are the five base spices of Japanese cooking: sugar, salt, vinegar, soy sauce, and miso. So, he says that this "shi" (meaning salt) also represents happiness.
Please let me know of any errors I might have made or if you'd like me to explain something more fully. I look forward to your feedback!
With the annotations gone, your beautiful subs and translations are also gone 😢
I didn't know of the removal until today, but now it's too late...
I really loved your translations, so thank you!

Awwwww so sweet, thanks for translating. The "Taste of Life, order wa?" gets sooooo stuck in my head XD
@xXTetoraSKXx(Stupid RUclips won't let me directly reply to your comment >.
I really like the way you translate actually, I understand most of the Japanese in songs and shows, but still use subs for that is said fast or for friends, and find most subs suck or change things. Brb the character says ganbatte but the subs say `see you later`. WTF?
Your subs really capture the feeling of the songs and are some of the best I have ever seen.
Finally. Music you actually WANT to hear. Thanks Moon. Keep up the good work.
I love it when they smile at the end
Thank you very much! ^_^ I love DIV, and I'm happy that someone translates their songs :)
Awesome~ Thank you so much for translation this song. I love it
Please keep them coming moon, I'm loving this group! *-*
Thanks for your translation and your notes! ^^ totally love them~~~
Thank you for uploading and subbing! ^o^
Oh, I'd agree with that description! 8D Maybe "the heart shaped table ware we picked together" is a symbol of the choice they made to savor life's flavor together~
BTW, do you own "Family matters"? I really wanna buy it but I can't find it anywhere ;-;
There's actually only one DIV song that I haven't translated, and I'll try to get it up as soon as I can. Glad you're enjoying them! ^_^
I miss them so much :(
DIV ❤
Wow, that's a lot! I hope he reveals in an interview sometime why that is...
Hmm, watching this song a couple times gives the feeling it's about how even though you have to tolerate the worst in life and not "throw it up," you should still strive for the things that have the flavor of "hapiness" instead of just living with eating "getemono."
There are so many parts of this song that don't seem to connect though, it's hard to figure out!
"Be made to taste hardships and swallow their bitter liquid."
That is totally a euphimism. xD
This song is so cute and weird, it makes me laugh! I love the modified Campbell soup cans.
Chisa really does seem obsessed with this whole becoming an adult thing, doesn't he??? >.>;;
How long have you been studying japanese?
You're very welcome! ^_^
私は本当にこの曲が好き！そのとても素晴らしいととてもかわいい
LOVE THEM!!! :D
Actually, it's totally not. I wrote about this in my notes: there is a common idiom, "kujuu wo nameru," which means "to have a bitter experience, but literally says "to taste a bitter liquid." In the song, he says, "taste (experience) hardships and be made to swallow bitter liquid (bitter experiences)." I tried my best to keep both meanings in there, but I guess it came out sounding euphemistic. I wonder if I should change it... ^_^;
earned a sub!
Well this is a interesting video which is why I like listening to this type of music besides most american pop music being awful most of the time.
OMG!! they rock.....
Awesome.. but you have the lyrics in english?? about the video??
ちょび可愛すぎる
It's perfect don't change it. xD
You're welcome! Yeah, I have no idea what he's saying... >_
I actually think I figure (at least most of) it out. I just added my interpretation to the description. What do you think?
かわいい〜あなたを愛して〜あなたが最高です^ - ^
