5:2 nomikomu means swallow, in this case swallow one's words, that is, stop yourself from saying them out loudand end up swallowing my words6:1 sotto probably means "quietly" rather than "gently" (since the speaker couldn't say it out loud). I think it might be clearer to rephrase it
Even if I try ten thousand times, what my heart quietly thinks of you7:2 I think it's clearer to rephrase it
Let's place your name, and my name, on those stars8:2 I think translation is incorrect.
"Let me be with you a bit longer, just a little bit longer"9:2 furueru is an adjectival clause applied to sora
while I go beyond the sky that shivers in the darkness9:3 katachi no nai (as above)
