3:50- quote from "Neutral", "The snow melted, and...／雪が解けて Yuki ga Tokete"
Actually, next track "Wakutamaike Dayori" is a mixture of the two songs, "Wakutamaike Dayori" itself and "Neutral"

11. Letter from Wakutama-ike Pond / 湧玉池便り Wakutama-Ike Dayori

This is a cover of Team MII song, whose arrangement is totally different and equally beautiful.. There is atmosphere like gamelan in the original version. Anyways, all three EPS of Team MII are available on OTOTOY and if you like 3776, I strongly recommend this earlier works of Akira Ishida.

You are me.	あなたはわたし	Anata wa Watashi
I am transparent.	透き通るわたし	Suki tooru Watashi

I am you.	わたしはあなた	Watashi wa Anata
Your reflection in the water.	映ってるあなた	Utsutteru Anata

The endless, abundant source of life.	限りなく溢れ続ける命の源	Kagiri naku Afure tsuzukeru Inochi no Minamoto
I'm here, but I’m spreading infinitely far away.	ここにいるのに無限に広がりはるかかなたまで	Koko ni Iru no ni Mugen ni Hirogari Haruka Kanata made

Wishes that rise from the center of this planet,	この星の真ん中から湧き上がる願いは	Kono Hoshi no Mannaka kara Wakideru Negai wa
They seep into every life on this planet.	この星の上で生きる全てにしみ込む	Kono Hoshi no Ue de Ikiru Subete ni Shimikomu

Into you.	あなたにも	Anata ni mo
Into me.	わたしにも	Watashi ni mo

(Seven lines from here are not written on the booklet as a part of the lyric, but “Neutral” of 3776 Season#2 is inserted from here)
The snow melts.	雪が溶けて	Yuki ga Tokete
People climbs up.	人が登って	Hito ga Nobotte
People climbs down.	人が降りて	Hito ga Orite
Snow piles up.	雪が積もって	Yuki ga Tsumotte
(Neutral) 300 years without changing the shape,	(Neutral)300年形を変えず	(Neutral)Sanbyaku-nen Sugata wo Kaezu
(Neutral) 300 years incessantly,	(Neutral)300年絶え間なく	(Neutral)Sanbyaku-nen Taema naku
(Neutral) 300 years it’s keeping on transforming itself.	(Neutral)300年姿を変え続け	(Neutral)Sanbyaku-nen Sugata wo Kaetsuzuke

I can see you.	あなたが見える	Anata ga Mieru
Deep inside you.	深くまで見える	Fukaku made Mieru

You can see me.	わたしが見える	Watashi ga Mieru
In yourself.	あなたの中に	Anata no Nakani

A lot of dirty tears pouring down from all around the world,	世界中から降り注ぐたくさんの汚れた涙も	Sekai juu kara Furisosogu Takusan no Yogoreta Namida mo
I, who cannot be murky, accept them and someday they will be changed into your tears of joy	濁れない私　受け止めていつかあなたの喜びの涙に	Nigore nai Watashi Uketomete Itsuka Anata no Yorokobi no Namida ni

Wishes that rise from the core of this planet,	この星の真ん中から湧き上がる願いは	Kono Hoshi no Mannaka kara Wakideru Negai wa
They permeate everything that lives on this planet.	この星の上で生きる全てにしみ込む	Kono Hoshi no Ue de Ikiru Subete ni Shimikomu

They permeate you.	あなたにも	Anata ni mo
They permeate me.	わたしにも	Watashi ni mo

6:39- Narration, not on the booklet

This area up to the forest line is called the subalpine zone, where, evergreen coniferous trees, such as Shirabiso and Kometsuga, cover the whole area *44, but deciduous broad-leaved trees such as Karamatsu also grow in clusters*45. Well, I wonder what is the difference between coniferous and broad-leaved trees. Come to think of it, the test is coming soon...

森林限界までのこの辺りは、亜高山帯といって、白檜曽(Shirabiso)や米栂(Kometsuga)などの常緑針葉樹が全体を覆っていますが、唐松などの落葉広葉樹も群生していたりします。あれ、針葉樹と広葉樹の違いってなんだっけ。そういえば、もうじきテストだ…

15. ［Interval E］

0:00.

Are you getting tired now? Are you okay?

そろそろ疲れてきてない？大丈夫？

Sorosoro Tsukarete kitenai? Daijoubu?

0:06. The bass line is quoted from track two (There Were to Be a Reason Not to Climb it / 登らない理由があるとすれば)
0:22. Chiyono counts "nisen nana hyaku hachi ju 2780", the hights of the "new seventh station", and simultaneously call its name "ほい、新七合目 Hoi, Shin nana gou me", ほい Hoi is just a filler or interjection, similar to はい Hai, but Hoi sounds more typical to her. *56
1:18. The guitar quotes a phrase from a very important song of Team MII, "ゆるメーター Yuru Meter / Loosen(ing) Meter". You cannot miss this footage where Chiyono performs in the center https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLxK1CXDN4U
This is one of the rare footage where Chiyono as a member of Team MII performing Yuru meter. At 3:15 she is off microphone but Chiyono's voice continues, which shows that Team MII did lip-syncing, probably because of the large number of members.
In Team MII, Chiyono was not very active and did not often participated in performance in the first half of the year (Team MII was 1 year limited from the beginning because it was officially subsidized by Fujinomiya city). Yuru meter is sung by those kind of members, so called second league members, and the content of the lyric is also about being not very aggressive, but slow life or LOHAS type of life. It is very interesting that Chiyono was this tend-to-be-absent side of Team MII and now she is the only member being left since Team MII. Chiyono sings the very important solo part of this song, which is directly related to this album concept (climbing Mt Fuji and about its altitude). The lyric is directly quoted later.
1:28. Chiyono vocalize the melody of Yuru Meter.
1:55. Quoting from the lyric of Yuru Meter.

My current altitude (is...)

今の私の標高

Ima no Watashi no Hyouko

2:16. Quoting from Chiyono's solo part of Yuru Meter: Original: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLxK1CXDN4U&t=187

I'm going to climb all the way up 3776 meters! I can do it!	3776メーター登り切る!わたしできる!	Sanzen nanahyaku nanajuu roku meter Noborikiru! Watashi dekiru!
...Now that I've decided to do it, do I really have to do it?	…って決めちゃったからにはやらなきゃダメ?	...tte Kimechatta kara niwa Yaranakya dame?
I'm not even close to the summit yet. My legs are pretty wobbly.	てっぺんまではまだまだ　足はもうガタガタ	Teppen made wa Madamada Ashi wa mou Gatagata
Don't keep looking forward. Look! Behind you, You can see the ocean, right?*57	前ばっか見てないで　ほら後ろ、海が見えるでしょ	Mae bakka Mite naide Hora Ushiro, Umi ga mieru desho
Wow, it's true! I've never seen a view like this before.	わあ本当!こんな景色初めて見た	Waa Hontou! Konna keshiki Hajimete Mita
Let's loosen up the goal you set yesterday and enjoy this moment, which spreads out before your eyes.	昨日決めた目標ゆるめて　目の前に広がる、今、楽しもうよ	Kinou Kimeta Mokuhyou Yurumete Me no mae ni Hirogaru, Ima, Tanoshimou yo

But there seem to be a LOT of people who give up and climb down before they get to the 8th station.	八合目までに引き返す人はたっくさんいるみたいですよ。	Hachi gou-me made ni Hikikaesu Hito wa Takkusan Iru mitai desu yo.
You, who are not a beginner any more, must have had the day of your first experience.	初心者じゃないあなたも初めて体験した日があったはず。	Shoshinsha ja nai Anata mo Hajimete Taiken shita Hi ga Atta hazu.
You must have had the day when you tackled the challenge for the first time.	初めてチャレンジした日があったはず。	Hajimete Challenge shita Hi ga Atta hazu.

0:11. The synthesizer (and maybe bass) quotes a phrase from Team MII's, "やっぱり君はそうさバッチリさ Yappari Kimi wa Sou sa Bacchiri sa / I know you are the one, the perfect one." The first sound of the words of the title Ya, Ki, So, Ba forms the word Yakisoba (Fried Noodle), which is a famous local food of Fujinomiya city. You cannot miss this very rare (for Chiyono singing this song, because she seemed to be a "Rare Chara" (rarely appearing character) in Team MII, for some reason, for the first half of the Team MII year) footage where Chiyono performs this song, actually the debut act of Team MII, so this is the first film where Chiyono sings Ishida's work. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jR_JdkMG6sI At 0:33, a girl who is not dancing together with others but raising her left hand is Chiyono, singing her solo part "Soba ni Iru kara" (because you are beside me (=because you are there for me)). Yes! This is the very voice of Chiyono, though Team MII did lip-sync. I did not know she had her solo part in this song and tried to confirm in this bootleg of the album, but seems this voice (2:26) is different from Chiyono's, I suppose she didn't join the recording of the song. By the way first film Chiyono appears on Youtube is on the audition of Team MII, Chiyono singing and dancing "Aitakatta" of AKB48(!!)1:27, the girl with number "46" in a striped t-shirt(black and white) and white short pants. Her dance was already very sharp and great as she dances now.

Huff*64, if there were, a reason not to, listen to 3776, phew!*65

はぁ、3776を、聴かない、理由が、あるとすれば、ふぅ

Haa, Minanaro wo Kikanai Riyuu ga Aruto sureba Fuu!

*1 : Just after "Start!", the introduction of "Cave Expedition" starts
*2 : 0:18. The introduction of "Neutral" by accourstic guitar is quoted.
*3 : 0:32. As this track's name are introduction, here again, the introduction of "I want to climb with you / 君といっしょに登りたい Kimi to Issho ni Noboritai" is quoted. 0:35. Over again, the introduction of "A Humid Subtropical Mountain Girl / 温暖湿潤山ガール Ondan Shitsujun Yama Girl" jumps in.
*4 : As I wrote in a note of Love Letter, he seldom or never uses "Nippon" but "Nihon" to read this country. Japan has two ways to call its name. Nippon sounds sort of militaristic for some people.
*5 : Is it about Love? 恋？ Or the line above, “恋の駆け引き the game of love”?
*6 : Around here, 2:57, the lead guitar starts three notes pattern(E,D,A) six time, then from 3:01 it starts seven notes pattern (A, D#, A, F#, A, E, D) nearly seven times, the last time only the first note though. It should be a hidden 3776 signature.
*7 : Here again, Around here, 3:47, the same 3x6 + 7x7 pattern starts.
*8 : A new 6 notes pattern starts in a kind of beep sound, “E, D, C#, B, C#, A”, the second pattern “E, D, C#, B, C#, E”, and repeated six times. This 6x6 element makes up for the lack of the element of 6 at the previous pattern. At the same time, 4:16, the patter above 3x3 +7x7 starts, but it cannot repeat seven times this time, because 6x6 seems to be the priority this time.
*9 : 0:00. The octave melody line forms a 3-7-7-6 rhythm pattern
*10 : Chiyono's voice is singing the molody of "Watashi no Sekai isan"(This footage is the first performance of this song, and also the debut stage of 3776 Season#1, which Chiyono did not join, although she had joined Team MII, the precursor of 3776). At the sametime, the harmony here is that of "Yurei shotengai" of Team MII. The 3776's star system again
*11 : Hyoukou ga chikazuku ni tsurete, sounds a bit unique, uncommon Japanese sentence to me
*12 : 1:17, the lead guitar plays that of "Kokemomo" of 3776 Season#1
*13 : Shiraito no Taki Falls is the waterfall mentioned here. The next track is designed to starts at 483 seconds of the album. You can hear the counting of 482 Yonhyaku-Hachijo-Ni by Chiyono at 1:37
*14 : The subject is not written, so it's unknown actually. "I" is just my guess.
*15 : Inside the Parentheses are not written, just guess. The subject "I" is not written as well, but from "these tears", very probably it's "I".
*16 : This "I" is written here as the subject
*17 : This "you" is not written but strongly probable, considering this is quoted from “My World Heritage 私の世界遺産　Watashi no Sekai Isan” of 3776 season#1, and in the original lyric it’s about “you”
*18 : This stanza consists of 3-7-7-6 beats counting Chiyono dances along with the beat, as you can check here. She counts, as usual, Hi Fu "Mi", Hi Fu Mi Yo Itsu Mu "Na", Hi Fu Mi Yo Itsu Mu "Na", Ichi Ni San Shi Go "Ro"ku. I do not remember other songs where she counts "One Two Three Four", except for this song...no, “How About a Great Eruption? / 大噴火はいかが? Dai Funka wa Ikaga?” counts “one two three four” for the great eruption. There should be other songs as well...)
*19 : Seeds of Worries/ 心配のタネ Shimpai no Tane is the title of song of 3776 Season#2
*20 : Reference to the lyric in "Seeds of Worries", "If you keep picking at it, it'll never bloom."　「ほじくってたりしたらいつまでも花は咲かないよ Hojikutte Bakari Itara Itsumademo Hana wa Sakanai yo」. By the way, this "Itsumademo" part sung by Rena, is the common motif of 3776 Season#2, which consists of E♭, F, G♭, A♭, A (A whole interval, a half interval, a whole interval, a half interval). These four notes are related to the interval called the tritone or Augmented fourth (Diminished fifth), which contributes some ominous and unstable airs of the songs of 3776 Season#2. Because of its ominous sound, until 18th century the tritone had been called 'the Devil in music'. You can find this melody pattern in "Overture Op.11" 「序曲/Jokyoku」, the melody for "Itte rasshai mase" (D, E, F, G, G#), and in "Good Bye Elementary School Girl" 「さよなら小学生 Sayonara Shoigakusei」, the melody for "Good Bye Forever Shougakusei" (D♭, E♭, E, G♭, G)
*21 : Reference to the lyric of "Seeds of Worries 心配のタネ", "If we pour the water of trust, it blooms"
*22 : In these eight lines, there is rhyming using "ん n" sound in the end
*23 : These two words in Japanese are homonyms, though "Kokoro no koori" is a combined word of Heart and Ice, so it's very unique and original to find out this as homonyms
*24 : I feel some rhyming effect between "ri" in the previous line and "ni" here, along with the similar melody.
*25 : Original lyric is rhyming with "ル ru/lu" sound, so I did my best in English. "Kondo Denaoshite kuru?" literally means "Would you come to see me (again) next time?", but have the implication that you have to study more before coming to me
*26 : The Japanese verb "Hasshita (Hassuru) is very obscure in this context. What's more, the object of the verb is omitted here. Usually, "Hassuru" is a written/formal word and it means "launch something". Maybe "the frozen/freezing me" shot "my ices" and they "bounces on the walls" and "spread everywhere"
*27 : Again I believe Ishida is aiming the rhyming effect between "ri" in the previous line and "ni" here along with the similar melody.
*28 : 1:02 In the background, several voice, seemingly madams, saying "あれ、揺れてる？揺れてますよね　Oh, isn't it shaking!? Yes, it's shaking" or something. All through this tune, this mob of madam style voice is played by Chiyono, and 80% of them are indiscernible.
*29 : This line "Hai, xxx!" must be derived from Doraemon’s opening song "Hai, Takekoputer!". The explanation how to use those emergency goods also should be inspired by Doraemon explaining his gadgets to the other main character, Nobita.
*30 : 3:25. 3-7-7-6 signature appears around here. A melody starts with F# a tambourine, with very slow 3,fast 7,7,6
*31 : When I write "Mt. Fuji's everywhere", I am using "'s" for meaning plurality, but it is also OK to regard it as "is".
*32 : Again, the harmony here is that of "Yurei shotengai" of Team MII
*33 : "station(Gou-me)" is not based on (for example) 2/10 of the physical height nor distance to the summit. This station system comes from the history of mountain worship of Mt Fuji, and one theory goes that the difficulty of reaching the summit or the degree of exhaustion for the worshipers/climbers those days were used as a guideline, so the second station is located around 20% of exhaustion. The closer you get to the summit, the harder the slope becomes, and the more difficult it becomes, so the distance between stations becomes narrower to encourage the climbers.
*34 : 0:00 The introduction of "It's someone else's property /誰かのモノです　Dare ka no mono desu" is quoted.
*35 : 0:07 The lead guitar of the same song is quoted.
*36 : 0:14 The introduction of "Moe Moe Unrequited Love / もぇもぇ片想い　Moe Moe Kataomoi" is quoted.
*37 : It would be more natural to translate "has come and gone", but Japanese "Haru ga ... sosite Kieta" is not very common as a combination of Subject, Conjunction, and Verb, hence its beauty. I tried to reflect it in English. It' not just gone as we feel from the effect at 1:14-15, how spring vanishes.
*38 : 0:32. The start of a sound like an electrocardiogram. Two F#s at an octave interval, the higher F# comes on the 3rd times, then 7th, 7th, 6th times (beats). Then from 0:43, the pattern reverses. The higher #F becomes basic notes and the lower #F comes on 3, 7, 7, 6 beats
*39 : 1:51, the triplets beats which going around left channel and right channel suddenly vanishes, which sounds impressive to me, showing how spring vanishes
*40 : 2:00. A tum drum starts unique rhythm, although it seems not exactly 3-7-7-6 pattern, across the left and right chanell. LRL, LRLRLRLRLRLR, LRLRLR, (3+7+5+6
*41 : 2:10. 3+6+7+6 pattern. 2:21, for the first time 3+7+7+6. 2:26, again 3776. 2:33, the bass drum strongly suggests six. 2:43 the electrocardiogram-like sound starts the 3776 pattern
*42 : What is forgotten here is not explicitly expressed, so it is ambiguous: Spring which has just gone? Summer which has just come? Or You? Memories of the spring?
*43 : The electrocardiogram-like beep exactly ends with 377"6", with the last sixth sound. It is also the first note of the next track.
*44 : It’s interesting that Chiyono reads these names not very clearly. In this context which she forgets the different between coniferous trees and broad-leafed trees, it’s very natural she do not fully understand what she is talking about.
*45 : Also very interesting here is Karamatsu is a deciduous coniferous tree, not a deciduous broad-leafed tree. I believe this is done deliberately by Akira, but I am not sure whether Chiyono noticed it or not.
*46 : Actually, if you divide a billion, say, by 3, the result is not a natural number but a positive real number, but let’s stop finding trivial fault.
*47 : Here, Chiyono urges the fans to count together in live performances.
*48 : It' s interesting to note that the album is already halfway through, but she says climbing starts here. It is because climbers on Mt. Fuji usually travel by bus or car to the fifth station and from here they begin to walk up the mountain. At 0:06, or 2400 seconds of the album (she counts "2400 Nisen Yonhyaku", she says "touchaku!" = (We have just) arrived. At the same time the guitar starts to play the opening of "Lingonberry／コケモモ　Kokemomo" of 3776 Season#1. Kokemomo/Lingonberry flowers can be seen between the fifth and sixth stations on the "Fujinomiya Route", the route Chiyono mentioned in Track one. At the fifth station they sell a "Kokemomo soft serve ice cream".
*49 : That's why Chiyono sings the phrase "Kokemomo" repeatedly.
*50 : At 0:45, a bell rings, which is quoted from the end of the song "Moe Moe Unrequited Love / もぇもぇ片想い　Moe Moe Kataomoi" is quoted. of 3776 Season#2. This bell is a Japanese Buddhist bell which is usually set in front of a Buddhist altar. This should be allusion to the death of Michael Jackson, hence un requited love of Rena towards Michael.
*51 : It = the sixth station
*52 : When taking a photo, Japanese people says "Hai, Cheese" = "Say cheese", and her way to say "Haaai Roku goume" imply this. The counting is muted on this moment, but the next track starts at 2490 seconds, with "Me" of "Roku gou-me", for 2490 meter is the altitude of the sixth station.
*53 : Tabi(Travel)-Photo is one of the 3776 products for fans, which you can buy online here. Those days, it didn't sell well, so this is a kind of "campaign song" to sell Tabi-Photo. In this footage, Chiyono explains, emotionally, "You know, there's a thing called "Tabi-Photo", right? It's sold on the official website. That's not selling well (laughs from audience). I wanted you to buy it, so we made a campaign song for it. If you think it's a good song, please buy it."
*54 : Japanese "Iine!" strongly implies the "Like!" button on Facebook or Twitter.
*55 : This is not words but vocalizing, no meaning in Japanese
*56 : Her tweet always starts with "やっほーい、ちよのだよ🌈 Yahoooi, Chiyono dayo", and also, one of her pet phrase is "そいそーい　Soisooooi".
*57 : The same passage was used in track 1, introducing the Fujinomiya route of Mt Fuji.
*58 : In the first time, this Yuru Meter part is omitted but in the second time at 3:33, Yuru Meter is declared.
*59 : From 0:46, a 3-7-7-6 pattern appears in the interval of two tones by synthesizer. C#-E(minor 3rd)(0:46), A-G#(major 7th)(0:49), F#-E(minor 7th)(0:53), B-G#(major 6th)(0:56), so 3-7-7-6, (but for me it sounds like F#-E for the first one...) This pattern goes on until the last. In this famous interview, Mr. Ishida says: But when I tried it in 3, 7, 7, and 6, I began to think that it made surprisingly good musical sense. In "Spacetime Love Letter - To You in the Post-Great Eruption World," I started slowly with 3 beats, then got faster with 7 beats, and then a little bit slower with 6 beats. Then again, we go back to 3, which is half of 6. This repetition began to make sense to me. 7 is 4 + 3 beats, so I can play with numbers like this. Also, what I've been working on recently is to count the notes "do-re-mi-fa-so-ra-si," then 7. The interval between Do and Mi is a 3rd, and Do and Si is a 7th, and so on. In "The Eighth Station is Still Ahead," there are synthesizer sounds, and I made them "3, 7, 7, 6". The first interval is 3rd, the next is 7th, and so on. I changed the root note, though. But I don't think anyone would notice that. ----Mr Namba: No body would!
*60 : てっぺん取る means to win the first prize/victory, or seize the throne.
*61 : 元祖七合目:The original Seventh Station. The Fujinomiya Route has two 7th stations: 新七合目(Shin Nana Gou me) The New 7th Station, 2780m above sea level(i.e. track15 0:22, or 2780 seconds of this album), and then 50 minutes walk, you arrive not 8th station, but the original 7th Station, 3010m. Why two 7th stations? This site interviewed Fujinomiya-city. QUOTE: Climbing up from the 5th and 6th stations, the "new 7th station" appears. Then you are expecting that next is the 8th station, but for some reason you find a sign saying "the original 7th station". Why are there two seventh station? We asked the Fujinomiya City Tourist Association. "When the Mt. Fuji Skyline (Shizuoka side) opened, the ended of the "Skyline" was named as the (new) fifth station, in rivalry with the existing Fuji-Subaru Line (Yamanashi side). Now I don't think we had to do that."(note by me: Interesting for me is that there actually exists some emotional competition or rivalry between Shizuoka and Yamanshi) The end of the new "skyline" (Shizuoka side) was originally 3.5(3 and half) station (3.5 gou-me) of the Fujinomiya-route. Then, the end of the "Subaru Line" (Yamanashi side) was the fifth station of Yoshida-route, so Shizuoka side forcibly changed Fujinomiya-route's 3.5 station into to the (new) fifth station. Actually, the end of Skyline is higher than that of the Subaru Line, so it is not surprising about this change. But, who had the trouble was the people running the lodges on Fujinomiya-route(Shizuoka side) above the original 3.5 station/the new 5th station. It would be strange to call "the 4th station" lodge after starting to walk from the 5th station. So the lodges changed there names, the 4th station was now changed into the 6th station (because it's after 5th station) and the lodge at the 6th station was changed into the "new 7th station". So the original 7th station lodge became the "original 7th station". That is why there are now two 7th gou-me(stations).
*62 : The dance by Chiyono in this interlude is the collection of dance fragments from previous 3776 songs, especially including those when they are "group". It's so emotional, because we know in the youtube films she cried a lot when members of 3776 quit and 3776 narrowly broke up.
*63 : The narration before this song also used "Gyutto" for printing the view into your eyes, but this visual usage of Gyutto is less usual than holding/closing usage of Gyutto, so I suppose she was quoting "gyutto" here in the song, into the narration
*64 : She is out of breath, near the top of the mountain at last
*65 : In the 3776th second of this Album, we reached the summit of Mt. Fuji, and she counts "3776" (Sanzen Nanahyaku Nanaju Roku" at the same time as "Phew!".
