I wasn't going to do any Vocaloid songs, since I'm sure there are people around here who are much more into Vocaloids than I am. I only really like a couple of their songs (and even then I generally prefer when real people sing them). But the section's looking pretty sad and neglected, so I thought I might as well contribute something. It was blissfully easy compared to the Sound Horizon stuff I've been doing lately(ish), but I might still have made mistakes, so. Here goes!
『あるところに、小さな夢がありました。だれが見たのかわからない、
それは小さな夢でした。小さな夢は思いました。
このまま消えていくのはいやだ。
どうすれば、人に僕を見てもらえるだろう。
小さな夢は考えて考えて、そしてついに思いつきました。
人間を自分の中に迷い込ませて、世界を作らせればいいと。』

"Somewhere, there was a tiny dream. Such a tiny dream it was
No one knew who had dreamt it. The tiny dream began to think.
'I don't want to disappear this way.
How can I make people dream of me?'
The tiny dream thought and thought, and then came up with an idea.
'I'll make humans get lost in me, and let them create the world.'"
一番目アリスは勇ましく剣を片手に、不思議の国。
いろんなものを斬り捨てて、真っ赤な道を敷いていった。
そんなアリスは、森の奥。
罪人の様に閉じ込められて。
森に出来た道以外に、彼女の生を知る術はなし。

The first Alice bravely entered Wonderland, sword in hand.
Cutting down countless creatures, she left a bright red path in her wake.
That Alice is in the forest,
Locked away like a criminal. [1]
Aside from the path she made in the forest, there is no sign that she existed.
二番目アリスはおとなしく歌を歌って、不思議の国。
いろんな音を溢れさせて、狂った世界を生み出した。
そんなアリスは、薔薇の花。
いかれた男に撃ち殺されて。
真っ赤な花を一輪咲かせ皆に愛でられ枯れてゆく。

The second Alice meekly sang a song in Wonderland.
Spreading out countless notes, he gave birth to a mad world.
That Alice was a rose,
Shot down by a madman.
He makes one bright red flower bloom, and admired by all he withers.
三番目アリスは幼い娘。綺麗な姿で、不思議の国。
いろんな人を惑わせて、おかしな国を造りあげた。
そんなアリスは、国の女王。
歪な夢にとり憑かれて。
朽ちゆく体に怯えながら、国の頂点に君臨する。
sanbanme ARISU wa osanai ko. kirei na sugata de, fushigi no kuni.

The third Alice was a young girl, a beautiful figure in Wonderland.
Deceiving countless people, she created a strange country.
That Alice was the country's queen,
Possessed by a warped dream.
Fearing her decaying body, she ruled from the summit of the country.
森の小道を辿ったり 薔薇の木の下でお茶会
お城からの招待状は ハートのトランプ
mori no komichi o tadottari bara no ki no shita de ochakai
o-shiro kara no shoutaijou wa HAATO no TORANPU
Following the small path through the forest, having tea beneath the rosebush
The invitation card from the palace was the Ace of Hearts
四番目アリスは双子の子。好奇心から不思議の国。
いろんな扉を潜り抜けて、ついさっきやって来たばかり。
気の強い姉と、賢い弟。
一番アリスに近かったけど、
二人の夢は、覚めないまま。不思議の国を彷徨った。
yonbanme ARISU wa futago no ko. koukishin kara fushigi no kuni.

The fourth Alice was twin children, entering Wonderland out of curiosity.
Passing through countless doors, they had only just recently come.
A stubborn sister and an intelligent brother.
They came the closest to being the true Alice, but...
They won't wake from their dream. They're lost in Wonderland.
[1] I know "tsumibito" is literally "sinner," but I've noticed that Japanese has a tendency to use "sin" and "crime" interchangeably, and personally I think the latter makes more sense here.
