Description "ROSE seems to be using trial and error to stand out. It's an original song with the vocal software CeVIO AI 'ROSE.' It looks as though 'conveyor belt sushi' and 'sushi train' are also English words for a sushi-go-round, but I chose the cutest one."

Japanese	Romaji	English
私は寿司屋のプリンです場違いだなんて知ってる	watashi wa sushiya no purin desu bachigai da nante shitteru	I'm the cup of pudding at the sushi place - the fact that I'm sticking out like a sore thumb is clear as day
居心地悪いまま流れ Round Round Round	igokochi warui mama nagare Round Round Round	With a sense of ill ease, I roll on the conveyor belt - round, round, round
こう見えて視線が熱いんです一定の層に刺さるメニュー	kou miete shisen ga atsui ndesu ittei no sou ni sasaru menyuu	All eyes are staring at me with rapt attention - the menu is aimed at a certain demographic
目の敵にしないでね Round Round Round	me no kataki ni shinaide ne Round Round Round	There's no need to give me those harsh looks - I go 'round, round, round

安物は白の皿価値のある奴ぁ金ピカ爛々	yasumono wa shiro no sara kachi no aru yatsu kinpika ranran	The cheap stuff gets the white plates - The good shit gets to go on golden plates
その格付け目ざとい個性並ぶ螺旋	sono kakuzuke mezatoi kosei narabu rasen	With that sorta evaluation, with a quirkiness that's always trying to get a leg up, I line myself up on the spiral
SUSHI-GO-ROUND

私だけ見て SUSHI-GO-ROUND	watashi dake mite SUSHI-GO-ROUND	Look at me, and only me. SUSHI-GO-ROUND
尊厳の品評会捨て身で舞う	songen no hinpyoukai sutemi de mau	In a competitive exhibition of dignity, I dance with all my might -
選ばれるまで SUSHI-GO-ROUND	erabareru made SUSHI-GO-ROUND	'Till the very moment I get chosen, SUSHI-GO-ROUND
新鮮な視線を奪い取り合う	shinsen na shisen o ubaitoriau	A mad dash and a scramble for fresh pairs of eyes to glance our way

回る回る	mawaru mawaru	So I spin round and round...
いつまで経っても着かない終点　先の見えない蜷局を巻いてる	itsu made tatte mo tsukanai shuuten saki no mienai toguro o maiteru	A train that is never due to reach its final destination - with no end in sight, I coil around in a spiral
どこに居たってバツが悪い行列　無理に居場所作ってんの	doko ni ita tte batsu ga warui gyouretsu muri ni ibasho tsukutten no	A parade lineup with an embarrassing turnout no matter where I go - I keep trying to make a place for myself in this world
「好きなネタで回れ」ったって　誰も責任取っちゃくれねえ	"suki na neta de maware" ttatte dare mo sekinin toccha kurenee	"Get yourself out there with your favourite kind of 'topping^[1]", even with that being the case, it's not like anybody's going to take responsibility for saying such,
なりふり構わず選んだ役目　それで何が悪いかい	narifuri kamawazu eranda yakume sore de nani ga warui kai	In the end, I was the one to choose this role without caring for opinion or reputation - but what's so wrong with that, exactly?

なりたいならなればいいさ他人事だから言えるダイバーシティ	naritai nara nareba ii sa hitogoto dakara ieru daibaashiti	"Choose who you want to be", it's the sort of diversity that amounts to lip-service since you don't have to deal with it
憧れてた目ざとい違い並ぶ螺旋	akogareteta mezatoi chigai narabu rasen	But I aspired to be that difference, always quick on the uptake, so I line myself up on the spiral
SUSHI-GO-ROUND

私だけ見て SUSHI-GO-ROUND	watashi dake mite SUSHI-GO-ROUND	Look at me, and only me. SUSHI-GO-ROUND
不安の種を押し付け合う	fuan no tane o oshitsukeau	So we impose a feeling of discomfort among ourselves -
干からびるまで SUSHI-GO-ROUND	hikarabiru made SUSHI-GO-ROUND	'Till the well runs dry, SUSHI-GO-ROUND
新鮮な視線を欲した	shinsen na shisen o hosshita	I craved for fresh pairs of eyes to glance my way

暴れん坊　嫌われ者　異端　異端　異端　異端児に	abarenbou kiraware mon itan itan itan itanji ni	For every hooligan, every outcast, every heretic, heretic, heretic, heretic,
まがい物　鼻つまみ者に太鼓持ち　及び	magaimon hanatsumami mon ni taikomochi oyobi	They get a knock-off that falls short of the original - for every uncouth boor needs a court jester - as well as
カリフォルニアロール　キンパ　ラーメン　うどん	kariforunia rooru kinpa raamen udon	California rolls, kimbap, ramen, and udon
デザート　デザート　デザート　デザート	dezaato dezaato dezaato dezaato	Then a dessert, dessert, dessert, dessert
肯定なんてしなくていいって　真も贋もお前じゃなくて	koutei nante shinakute ii tte shin mo nise mo omae ja nakute	I don't need approval or reaffirmation either way - after all, you have no right to decide if I'm fake or genuine
お客が選ぶから　失せろ	okyaku ga erabu kara usero	That's for the customer to choose! So buzz off.
SUSHI-GO-ROUND

私だけ見て SUSHI-GO-ROUND	watashi dake mite SUSHI-GO-ROUND	Look at me, and only me. SUSHI-GO-ROUND
尊厳の品評会捨て身で舞う	songen no hinpyoukai sutemi de mau	In a competitive exhibition of dignity, I dance with all my might -
選ばれるまで SUSHI-GO-ROUND	erabareru made SUSHI-GO-ROUND	'Till the very moment I get chosen, SUSHI-GO-ROUND
新鮮な視線を奪い取り合う	shinsen na shisen o ubaitoriau	A mad dash and a scramble for fresh pairs of eyes to glance our way

Translation Notes

↑ The word ネタ can have multiple meanings: one being the topping/ingredient that you place on the sushi rice, the other being "joke" or "meme". Similarly 回れ has the literal meaning of "to spin around", but can also be used to mean "to make the rounds of" or "to be passed around". This translator believes that this line is meant to be read two-fold: one meaning being "to roll around (on the conveyor belt) with your favourite kind of sushi topping", the other being "to go viral (on social media) with the trend/meme you like"
