Eminor (イーマイナー) is a song released on May 6, 2018, featuring vflower.
Background[]
Eminor (イーマイナー) is Iyowa's third song. It has an official MV, but it is not available for streaming on any streaming services.
The description of the MV on Niconico states the following.
This is Iyowa. This is my third production. My stomach [胃 (i)] is weak [弱い (yowai)], so I am Iyowa. If you think, "This isn't in the key of E minor, is it?" please listen until the chorus, because there's a key modulation...
This time, I tried something new with the song's illustration, the pictures, and video. I would be happy if you think of this as one of Iyowa's styles.
The girl's name is Mai (マイ) which was confirmed in the April Fool's visual novel trailer.
Meaning[]
This song is about a musician coming to terms with the death of her close friend.

※ Translation by Bedrose
| Japanese | English |
| 持ってきたら持って帰ってよ | If you bring it with you, take it back |
| すてられなくなるでしょ | You won't be able to abandon it |
| 愚痴と涙をこぼした | Whines and tears spilled forth |
| 別れの季節は少し駆け足で | The season of farewells, in a bit of a rush, |
| 忘れ物も残さないが | leaves nothing behind, |
| アツレキばかりの暮らしの抜け殻は | but the husk of a life with nothing but discord |
| そのままになってるよ | still remains |
| 重いハードケースを | Shouldering a heavy hardcase, |
| しょって歩いた | I walked on |
| 「簡単なコードで弾けちゃうような曲は嫌いなんだ」 | "I hate songs that can be played entirely with simple chords" |
| 口を尖らせてたあなたが | because they felt like you, who was pouting, |
| 小突きに来てくれる気がしたから | were coming to prod me |
| かじかんだ指先と枯れた声と | With my numbed fingertips and withered voice, |
| C D |
I'm singing my love through a C-D-Em progression |
| 赤青黄色移ろって時間を潰している | I'm killing time as the reds, greens,[1] and yellows change |
| 今愛だ何だと歌ってもさ | Now, even singing of love and the like |
| 後味は悪いだろうな | seems to leave a bad aftertaste |
| 自分が持たないモノなんて | Things I don't have |
| 変換履歴のどこへやら | are lost in my conversion history[2] |
| 駄洒落のひとつでもひねり出して | I wish I could come up with even one corny joke |
| ぶつけられりゃいいのにな | and hit you with it |
| 思い出したのは | What I suddenly remembered |
| 夢を語った日 | was the day we talked about our dreams |
| 「この歌を馬鹿にしてきた奴らの目に物見せてやんだ」 | "We'll show them, who made fun of this song" |
| 語るその眼差しの先に | Because ahead of that telling gaze, |
| 隣で歩く私が見えたから | I could be seen walking by your side. |
| かじかんだ指先を温めて | I thought I would warm my numbed fingertips |
| 生きていってやろうと思ったの | and continue living |
| あなたが死ぬ日は私が死ぬ日と信じてた | I was sure that the day you die would be the day I die, too |
| 簡単なコードで弾けちゃうような曲は嫌いなんだ。 | I hate songs that can be played entirely with simple chords. |
| 口を尖らせてたあなたが、 | But you, who was pouting, |
| 小突きに来ることはもう無いけど。 | are never coming to prod me. |
| 熱を帯び始めた指先と | With my fingertips that have taken on a trace of heat, |
| 枯れた声と | and with my withered voice, |
| C D Emで愛を歌っている。 | I'm singing my love through a C-D-Em progression. |
| 持ってきたら持って帰ってよ。 | If you bring it with you, take it back. |
| すてられなくなるでしょ。 | You won't be able to abandon it. |
| 愚痴と涙をこぼしはしたけど | Whines and tears truly spilled forth, but, |
| あぁ、 | ahh, |
| あなたが積み上げた全部を、 | it's because everything you've piled up |
| 私が継いでやるから。 | I'm going to inherit. |
| 文句言わず見ててよね。 | I'll keep looking after it without complaining, ok? |
Translator Notes[]
- ↑ Although 青 typically refers to "blue," I am translating it here as "green" because I am interpreting this line as referring to the changing of traffic lights.
- ↑ Conversion history (変換履歴) seems to refer to a phone or computer's history of predictive conversions from kana to kanji executed while typing in Japanese.
