Haha, I’d forgotten how tricky-to-interpret (ex-)I’ve Sound lyrics can be.
Really like the production on this one.
TR∀NSFoRM
Lyrics: KOTOKO
Composition / Arrangement: Takase Kazuya
I can create as many laughs on my face as I want.
Ah, just the thought of it again makes me laugh accidentally.
Magma at the center of the earth, aiming for the right time.
Drawing closer, awakening.
Won’t be hearing any excuses -
Let’s move emotion

livetune feat. Hatsune Miku, Tell Your World
Jubilee
Lyrics / Composition / Arrangement: kz
Vocals: Hatsune Miku
The neon of blessings
That was shining down on us
Fell asleep while were unaware.
I can’t even hear a sigh.
A spinning beat,
The lead I’ve been waiting for -
They’ll scoop out the bustle and excitement
That we lost.

Ryoko Shintani, Euphoric Prayer
Euphoric Prayer
Lyrics / Composition / Arrangement: R・O・N
Vocals: Shintani Ryouko
Feeling lost, at a standstill -
There are times like that, it’s only natural,
When you’re anxious and helpless,
When you can’t move forward.
I know that
I can’t go on like that.
Let’s paint our hopes on the untouched canvas.

Ryoko Shintani, UNLOCKER!
Had this one lying around on paper mostly complete since June, so I figured I should finish it up.
Music reminds me of Dragon Crisis.
Blanc/Noir
Vocals: Shintani Ryouko
Lyrics: Tadano Natsumi
Composition: Miyazaki Makoto
Arrangement: Miyazaki Makoto
Blanc and Noir inside the closet,
Dark and light within the mirror.
Which one shall I wear today?
My consciousness is ruled by sorrow and affection.
The news in the gossip wounded you,
Even though the empty stares
Don’t understand a single thing.

I Want to Deliver This to You Now
Lyrics: INFLAVA
Composition: Koji Oba
Vocals: Choshinsei
I’ll say “Thank you” time and time again. From now on, I’ll say it time and time again,
For the fact that we managed to meet each other in this big world.
There aren’t words enough for my feelings, but I can’t say it very well.
It’s a very natural thing to say, but I want to deliver this to you now.
My left side is warmer than my right.
Maybe the reason is that your kindness outmatches mine.
It would be nice if your right side is warmer than your left.
I’m wishing for that 365 times out of 365.

Kurosaki Maon, Butterfly Effect
Veers pretty close to the less pleasant aspects of dubstep at times, but I think it works surprisingly well. Nice, kz.
About the title: most places use a circle (○), but kasi-time uses the inverted triangle. I get the feeling that this is correct. No booklet scans to verify, though.
LOVE▽JETCOASTER
Lyrics: KOTOKO
Composition / Arrangement: kz
Vocals: Kurosaki Maon
The two of us are like some kind of balance toy -
Flick it with your little finger, and it shakes.
I can’t speak up easily,
And I naturally start to measure the distance between us.
I must be such a complicated girl.
I’m waiting for your call.
Basically… That’s how it is -
I just want to talk to you right now.

Galileo Galilei, PORTAL
A few of references here. One of them is clearly Run, Melos!, but I don’t really know who “toothless Sam” is supposed to be. (One person I’ve talked to has suggested Ronin, but I don’t know how that would work.)
Freud
Lyrics: Ozaki Yuuki
Composition / Arrangement: Galileo Galilei
Barefoot panic.
The loner kids who repeated the sprite-slashing experiments
Won’t respawn from new lives -
I’m sure they just never die.
In a daze, we fell in love.
We killed the toothless Sam.
He’s buried underneath the oak tree.
No matter what happens, in this city, it’s like sand in the wind.
Isn’t that right?

I’m not entirely satisfied with how this one came out – the wording is a little awkward – but I think this is the best I’ll be able to get it.
Love Letter
Lyrics: KOTOKO
Composition: Nakazawa Tomoyuki
Arrangement: Nakazawa Tomoyuki / Ozaki Takeshi
Who would say that people want something like this?
It’s just blank space filled with unnecessary text.
Just as we usually do, we simply exchange greetings.
I wanted to try stopping our time.

Mizuki Nana,POWER GATE
Requested by Anon, also over a year ago. X_X
I’m a bit unsure about some parts of this song – in particular, the first line, as well as the second pre-chorus.
POWER GATE
Lyrics: Yabuki Toshirou
Composition: Yabuki Toshirou
Vocals: Mizuki Nana
With the color of spring, I made a small assertion, on the street
I’ve managed to find these wonderful friends.
I was being too inflexible, unable to be strong,
Always holding onto the same feelings.
I would get lonely, brood over things, feel regret -
I couldn’t take it easy and enjoy anything.
Galileo Galilei – Good Shoes February 10, 2012

Galileo Galilei, PORTAL
;_;
Clarification: One of the later lines refers to raptors overhead. The particular bird mentioned it the トンビ, or black kite. Apparently, its cry is very well-known in Japan. Sample: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=975yohQ9BdE
Also, I bent my romaji policy a little and just put in extra words without parens or anything.
I’m really weak to these “lost-childhood” type lyrics.
Good Shoes
Lyrics: Ozaki Yuuki
Composition: Galileo Galilei
In those days when we chose the same dirty, plain shoes and wore them so comfortably,
As though gliding over the granite, we lightly, gently fell in love.
The two of us played in a puddle of water that no one else knew,
Leaping and flying, dyeing our bare feet in that upside-down sky.
