School Food Punishment (formerly school food punishment) is was ;_; a four-member Japanese band. For reasons, I ended up translating just about the entirety of their catalog, and I’ve listed all of their stuff here for convenience, as well as other works by the band’s members.

Hi! I just discovered your blog, and it’s such a fantastic treasure trove of information about SFP (and other groups!). I’ve been a huge fan of them for about 2 years now, and in that time, they’ve become one of my favorite musical groups ever… Which makes their breakup sting all the more ;_;
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for taking the time and putting forth the (huge) effort to translate their discography. It helps me develop an entirely new level of appreciation for their beautiful music, and I love the extra information you include, like with Ura Omote.
Thank you again!!

if you are lucky you might find some old port87 music videos of someone subbing and adding the lyrics to the MVs (port87 was someone who subbed videos for jpop and kpop MVs) I also miss school food punishment its been about 10 years since they disbanded, wish there was a facebook/discord page
August 23, 2010 at 2:30 pm
Your simply great.
October 9, 2010 at 9:09 am
thaaaank you a lot! ^___^
February 14, 2011 at 7:14 pm
Thank you SO SO SO SOOOOO Much T__T!!!!
January 5, 2012 at 9:11 am
I’m really, really glad that I found your blog! I’ve been listening to all their songs ever since Futuristic Imagination was released. Could only understood a few lines and really, really wanted to know what their songs were about since some of them really, really touched me (percentage in particular)
So really, thanks a lot for providing the translations. For ALL their songs. It really means a lot to a fan like me who can’t understand their lyrics even though I love their music to bits and pieces =D

the hard work’s much appreciated :)
(a little bummed out that i only discovered the band after they’d already broken up though. ugh.)
February 29, 2012 at 4:44 pm
Thank you very very much. I really love School Food Punishment. I’m glad all their songs were translated. :)
March 19, 2012 at 4:16 am
Haha me again and as I said before, now grammatically correct! You are great. God sent. I love school food punishment more and more because of you.
May 16, 2012 at 11:24 am
thank you for working on this!

May 30, 2013 at 9:56 am
Thank you so much! been getting to know this band recently, but knowing that it was already disbanded saddened me. Nevertheless, I really enjoyed your translation works and what’s left from the band.
July 7, 2013 at 10:54 am
Hey, will you start translating lalalarks lyrics? They have 2 demos out already :D
July 10, 2013 at 1:41 am
I’ve thought about it, but I’m a bit hesitant to do it before a non-demo release, since I don’t usually feel comfortable with translating by ear. I might just cave and give it a try, though. “Sayonara Waltz” also has some of the lyrics in the video (I still don’t know where they came from), so that helps, at any rate.
March 12, 2014 at 9:32 am
Could you please translate ‘nano’ by spangle call lilli line, covered by la la larks? It has Yumi singing in it…
April 19, 2014 at 5:25 am
Good band by the way, but now they’re finding the different way(i mean they’re disabnded)………
January 15, 2015 at 12:20 pm
My best-guess transcription for “Transient”:
The lust whirled slowly, the night was (a) holy world
can nap but surely who will not get(up) early high
he (washed) my (hand), he cared
he satisfied me
but not my own
he’s not my own
you will find a way until tomorrow oh
alright, why not ask him? … oh
The wounds that tiny we forget, just one thing … oh
like a heaven, like a small race, small society ooh
the new world inside of me
he (washed) my (hand), he cared
he satisfied me
but not my own
he’s not my own
you will find a way until tomorrow oh
alright, why not ask him?
I stay alone (weeping), there’s a world without him complete(ly)
wounded oh oh oh oh
he (washed) my (hand), he cared
he (washed) my (hand), he cared
he (washed) my (hand), he cared
he satisfied me ooh

You guys should check out Light Prayers AKXMIM Remix: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DN9_gwk-65Y its probably the best instrumental i have ever heard.
August 11, 2016 at 1:52 pm
Thx for this! I love this band!
Can I use your translations to pass on to Spanish?
July 4, 2017 at 12:01 pm
I’ve been a fan of SFP since the release of Eden of the East. Even after getting into Yumi Uchimura’s new band “la la larks”, I’m still very sad that the band had to split up especially since it was the band I followed the most as well as L’arc~en~ciel.
May 1, 2018 at 11:40 pm
I wholeheartedly appreciate you for translating their music. I’ve been listening to SFP for the first time in awhile and I’m glad that I can finally understand the lyrics. c:
September 11, 2023 at 8:02 pm
if you’re still active THANK YOU!!! I wish School Food Punishment got more love, I’m just glad I found someone who worked on all these unofficial projects to share
