Translator notes:

¹ チェキ(cheki) is polaroid photos, very popular in Japan. In the context of the lyrics I think he is saying that it is hard to eat with the fans coming to take a photo, you can not eat the photo, after all.

2 he writes 透明+阪 (toumei + han), 透明(toumei) means "transparent", the 阪(han) it's from 大阪市(Osaka), it's a play on words with:

東　名　阪 (TOU MEI HAN)

東京都 ; 名古屋 ; 大阪市

Tóquio ; Nagoya ; Osaka

[these are unusual readings of those kanjis]

Apparently it is common to talk like this when you are going to visit these cities. "I'll be in tour by TouMeiHan" (although I saw this only in Kaitou Sentai lyrics XD )

3 蜜 (mitsu) means "honey" but it's also a slang for bangya that pays band members in exchange for "privileges," if you understand me.

4 麺 (men) means "noodles", but is also slang for band members (bandman = bandmen) （バンドメン＝バンド麺 ）. I suppose it is something about the hair, which they usually bleached, and leave blond, the same color as noodles (and many with the same appearance too) but I’m not sure ...

5 I think that in this part he is making another pun, really weird. I think in the first sense here he said "manko-san" (マンコ(manko) = pussy).

And the second sense is Seiichi Hoshiko, known as VK oyaji (special look for similarity between oyaji and oyayubi) or "father of visual kei", I think everyone has seen a old men in pictures with bandmans on internet, it's he.

I think the senses here are 1 = he don't want to see a Manko-san like that... (smelly like an old sock[?]) and 2 = he don’t want to see Hoshiko-San (VK's father) showing a middle finger at him. (or something close to that)

6 this is a reference to the game "daruma-san ga koronda", I will not explain here because this post is already very long, but I will leave this link that explains very well.

Yoshiatsu-san it's the DADAROMA's vocalist.

7 this is probably about DAYDALA's recent problem with tickets. When it happened Tanuki (japanese-only visual kei forum) was full of messages (I think it get down for a while also). There's a topic on monocromeheaven explaning what happened.

8 Here pun is ぶどう感 (budo + kan = grape + feeling) and 武道館 (budokan = arena in Tokyo where usually happens big concerts). She eats grapes during the show to look like they are in the budokan-arena.

9 逆ダイ (gyakudai) its about furitsuke, those weird choreographies that japanese do in the concerts and those weird headbang.

10 About 7 again.

11 bangya = band girl = japanese term for fangirl = girls obsessed with bands.

Janiwota is also a kind of bangya, but I do not know exactly what kind, I think bangya is more pejorative term and janiota lighter, if anyone knows, please, explain to me there in the comments <3
