“Gambling Addiction” English Version
Also, since I couldn’t think of any lyrics, I decided to just create an English version of “Gambling Addiction.” Originally, I intended to write a song with English lyrics, so I used ChatGPT to translate the lyrics as I usually do, then adjusted the parts where the length didn’t match the Japanese melody and created the lyrics. I have confirmed that if you put the lyrics into Google Translate, it will come up with almost the exact meaning of the original Japanese lyrics.
🎵 Gamble Addiction🎵
[Verse 1]
Everything feels so meaningless
Monotonous and boring work
Many people can replace me
Wasting time that no one values
[Verse 2]
We all know something isn’t right
But we pretending not to see
A shadow whispers of the price
When the truth will come someday
[Pre-Chorus]
The darkness pulls me in again
The urge to gamble—hard to fight
I chase the thrill I cannot tame
Another reckless bet tonight
[Chorus]
Clinging to a fleeting chance
Terrified, yet going all-in
Half-wins hold no meaning now
God. help me out the hell
[Verse 3]
“Your wife is lovely,” someone says
But she feels like a stranger to me
Tired of being compared to others
Drowning in this misery
[Pre-Chorus]
When I face the truth alone
The world stares deeply into me
The swelling debt, the heavy guilt
A bitter taste of my disease
[Chorus]
Lost in dreams of turning tides
Hoping miracles might pull me in
Even when I win, it fades in a flash
Devil. save me from the pain
[Bridge]
I wish I could just walk away
Daydream of working with a sense of purpose
But then the devil softly speaks:
“You’re not made for normal days
You’ve still got cash—come take a seat
Let’s gamble all your pain away”
But this isn’t money I can afford to lose
[Chorus]
Grasping at a dying hope
Knowing I’ll lose, yet still go all-in
Another chip, another loss
No more escapes, I can’t win
[Final Chorus]
Destruction waits with open arms
If I surrender, take the blame
Will I be allowed to dream again—
Or just a prisoner of my shame?
Finished Song
Up until now, I’ve been uploading songs with the same casual attitude as this week’s gacha results (although I’m a bit addicted so I don’t upload more than once a week), but to be honest, I had a lot of trouble this time. I have no idea how long English pronunciations should be…I probably created the song, listened to it, and tweaked the length of the lyrics about 30 times. The following songs were not the final ones generated, but rather I listened back to the songs generated along the way and chose the one that sounded the best in terms of melody. The English lyrics and J-pop-like melody make it easy for Japanese people to listen to (foreigners may not know). For now, I think it’s better not to create a melody with Japanese lyrics and translate it into English…

Appendix
I’ve written before about how it’s difficult to create an “All-in” instrumental, but this time I tried to create an “Gambling Addiction” instrumental. I simply entered the dark pop instrumental and style description into the style and generated a few songs, which resulted in a piece that sounded like the kind of background music used in game battle scenes. It seemed interesting, so I entered musical styles and instruments that might be used in game battle background music into the Style Description, and tried to generate a song that was all about that kind of music. The completed song is shown below.

I think it’s a song that would come out as the background music for a boss battle in a Final Fantasy. I personally like this song so much that I feel like I got an SSR in this gacha. I also hope to produce good songs in a similar way. By the way, the title “Time for the Showdown” literally means “time of the showdown”, but originally it means “time of the decisive battle”. The cover image used was the image generated by Suno AI, but for some reason it was an image of rigged dice…
