Dohchin Yoshikuni - handle me right (rough english translation)

Man, I've been missing out. The songs Ali wrote for him are hot.

I made an attempt at translating this one into English, but I don't feel very confident about what I have. It's probably at least a little wrong. If you have any corrections, feel free to let me know.



handle me right

Lyrics: Ali, Dohchin Yoshikuni
Music: Ali

I don’t have an outlet, so I’m gathering up sounds*
And now, I’m avoiding places where the sun is shining
Only things without dreams are curious**
Honestly, even now, I’m still longing for somewhere

Help me baby
Till I come back here again
Just a little more
(Just a little more)

Handle me right
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle me right
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

I’m gazing at a person who can’t find refuge,
Questioning ideals and reality
I’m only afraid of things that don’t have shadows
Honestly, I’m melting from the inside of my head***

Help me baby
Till I come back here again
Just a little more
(Just a little more)

Handle me right
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle me right
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

Handle my vice
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle my vice
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

Violently blowing wind
Rain that won’t stop falling
I’m losing sight of you
The walls standing tall around us
A bell that won’t stop ringing
I want my voice to reach you
La la la…
Satisfy my lonely love

Handle me right
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle me right
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

Handle my vice
(The smoke is curling around)
Handle my vice
(It’s swirling around, heavenly)

Notes:
*,**,*** I’m not too confident about this one in general, but these three lines are probably way off the mark

handle me right

Dakara yariba no nai oto atsume
Ima wa hi ga sasu tokoro wa saketeru
Yume no nai koto bakari ga koukishin

HAN-KUN - #IROIRO (romaji only)

He really just keeps getting cuter each year. It's kind of absurd.

POSSIBILITY - lovely days (english translation)



lovely days

Lyrics: 43K, EIG
Music: SHIMADA, KAZU-O, HAYATO

[43K, 43K + EIG in { } ]
My life has always been wrapped up in your love
And that love raised me up to this point*
It’s like your smiles can heal the wounds in my heart
And when they’re taken away, I get lonely
{Thank you mother, father, my friends
Sister, brother, and my girl}
Without you, I wouldn’t be here
{This song is for you, yeah}

[EIG]
Even my friends that were always just doing stupid things are becoming adults
They’re starting to look awfully good in suits, and holding a child in their arms, they’ve become fathers
Sometimes, it feels like the only thing that’s growing in my life is a feeling of guilt
And my dream still hasn’t come true
Even though I decided on a path that went against my parent’s wishes,
As the days passed by and my mother’s hair went grey and my father’s back became smaller,
They told me about the troubles caused by the passage of time that were multiplying**
Even though I noticed,
Even though I knew,
Every day, I acted like I wasn’t aware
Even if they were just common, routine days,
Your love was reaching my heart

[43K + EIG ]
My life has always been wrapped up in your love
And that love raised me up to this point
It’s like your smiles can heal the wounds in my heart
And when they’re taken away, I get lonely
Thank you mother, father, my friends
Sister, brother, and my girl
Without you, I wouldn’t be here
This song is for you, yeah

[43K]
My nagging mom and my old man, who was always silently watching over me
We did nothing but fight, didn’t we, sis?
And our kind uncle is already gone now
Those guys I used to goof off with every night
My old friend that moved to Tokyo
And my beloved girl, who is still by my side right now

[43K + EIG]
Everyday
Lovely days, yeah
Everyday
Lovely days, yeah

[43K + EIG]
It’s like the way that beautiful sunrise lights up the earth with sunshine
That’s how your love has wrapped up my life
Like the way that plants long for the light,
Your love makes me realize that I’m not alone
Thank you mother, father, my friends
Sister, brother, and my girl
I want to show my gratitude for the miracle of being able to meet you
This song is for you, yeah

[43K, EIG in { } ]
It’s embarrassing, so I don’t say it, but there’s just one phrase that’s been collecting in my heart
How many years have I gone without saying something like “Thank you”?
{I’ve written the feelings I want to reach you into the lyrics, and it’s riding on this song
I’ll sing it for you,
Today as well, I’ll stand here and sing it until my voice gets hoarse}

[43K + EIG]
Everyday
Lovely days, yeah
Everyday
Lovely days, yeah

[43K, 43K + EIG in { } ]
My life has always been wrapped up in your beautiful love
And that love raised me up to this point
It’s like your smiles can heal the wounds in my heart
And when they’re taken away, I get lonely
{Thank you mother, father, my friends
Sister, brother, and my girl
Without you, I wouldn’t be here
This song is for you,} yeah, yeah

[43K + EIG]
I’ve been wrapped up in so much love
And wonderful days are calling out to me
Even those ordinary days are lovely days
Because I feel your love everyday
You’ve been wrapped up in so much love
And wonderful days are calling out to you
Even those ordinary days are lovely days
Because you’ll feel my love everyday

Notes:
*Lit. more like “And your love has helped me grow up big/into an adult”
**This is the line I’m the most unsure about. What I have is probably at least a little wrong

lovely days

SALU - How Beautiful (english translation)

This might be a little off in places, but I tried.



How Beautiful

Lyrics: SALU
Music: Estra

If I think of you,
When I close my eyes,
I realize that the world that was spreading out before me
Was a beautiful one

I think of you,
A way to not think of you,
Somehow I can’t seem to come up with one,*
But a night that no one can escape is coming

Somehow, I have a feeling that it was something really important
I want to remember
I can’t remember

So many lies
So many flowers
So many tears (Oh lord)
So much love (Oh lord)
So much power (Oh god)
So many pills (Oh, oh god)
So many stars
How beautiful today is

The things I’ve been putting off,
They're going to start chasing after me
But I’m already so trapped**
Even if I face the heavens and raise up both hands,

Well, is there something I can do?
Well, what can I do?
If you feel like you’re gonna die tomorrow,
If you’ve got the will to do something, you can do anything
You can’t do anything
You can’t do anything
You need the will to do it
If you feel like you’re gonna die tomorrow, you can do anything

Somehow, I have a feeling that it was something really important
I want to remember
I can’t remember

So many lies
So many flowers
So many tears (Oh lord)
So much love (Oh lord)
So much power (Oh god)
So many pills (Oh, oh god)
So many stars
How beautiful today is

Coming out of the lukewarm hug of a blanket
Changing into soft-feeling cashmere
My attitude is “Hallelujah”
I learn from the news that someone died crossing over the highway***
That store is toxic
It’s open 24/7, pushing labour without rest

Letting in a draft isn’t a crime, it’s instinctual to let yourself be carried by the wind****
That girl that ran up to ask for a pen that time is just always on the go
In this life, in order to eat, you’ve gotta work*****
That girl wearing the Canada Goose jacket
In her loneliness, her Instagram is swelling like a balloon

That thing that I wanted to remember but can’t
I wonder what it was? I can’t remember
How can I remember?
Oh God, I wonder if it’s better that I don’t remember?
The sky being stained with darkness
It’s a symbol of the earth’s descent

Notes:
*,**,***,****,***** I’m really not sure about these lines

How Beautiful

Kimi no koto o kangaete
Hitomi o tojite-mitara
Hirogatteta sekai wa
Utsukushii mono deshita

Kimi no koto o kangaete
Kangaenai you ni shiteru mono

SO MANY LIES
SO MANY FLOWERS
SO MANY TEARS (OH LORD)*
SO MUCH LOVE (OH LORD)*
SO MUCH POWER (OH GOD)
SO MANY PILLS (OH, OH GOD)
SO MANY STARS
HOW BEAUTIFUL TODAY IS

Sakinobashi ni shite ita koto ga

Dohchin Yoshikuni - It's a new day (english translation)

I made some small adjustments to the English in the translation to make it flow a bit better, but the romaji has the original lyrics.





It’s a new day

Lyrics: Horiko Hiroki, Dohchin Yoshikuni
Music: Horiko Hiroki

Right in the centre of my heart, there’s a strained voice that I had lost
On the night I decided, it was like the rain was a signal*
I don’t need anything but you

There’s no one on the scene
Say those words of love once again
Starving for love, I want to feel you
You can’t see it with your eyes, this aching

It’s a new day, it’s today
And I’ll live with you forever**
I won’t say goodbye
Is it too late to tell you?
I swear I’m never givin’ up
So give me another sky

I woke up from the dream
It was like my sleeping emotions were bursting open***
To keep that feeling from escaping, I held on tight
I don’t need things like loneliness

I hope the real meaning will reach you
Love has come to an end once again
To feel you was to be touched by love
Don’t forget this aching

It’s a new day, it’s today
And I’ll live with you forever
I won’t say goodbye
Is it too late to tell you?
I swear I’m never givin’ up
So give me another sky

It’s a new day, a true day
And I’ll believe in myself forever
I won’t say goodbye
Is it too late to tell you?
I swear I’m never givin’ up
So climb up to the purple sky

Notes:
*Really not sure about this line – I think what I have is probably very wrong
**I think this means in an emotional sense, not literally
***I’m not sure about this one either

It’s a new day

Mune no mannaka nakushi-kaketa furishibotta koe
Sou kimeta yoru tsugeta ame anata igai nanimo iranai

Daremo inai ON THE SCENE
Ai no kotoba ONCE AGAIN
Ai ni ueta TO FEEL YOU
Me ni mienai kono ACHING

IT’S A NEW DAY
IT’S TODAY
AND I LIVE WITH YOU FOREVER
I DON’T SAY “GOOD BYE”
IS IT TOO LATE TO TELL?
BUT I SWEAR I’M NEVER GIVIN’ UP
SO GIVE ME ANOTHER SKY

Yume ga sameta harisake-sou na nemutteta omoi
Sou hanasanu you ni nigirishimeta kodoku nante mou iranai

Kimi ni todoke REAL MEANING
Ai ni kureru ONCE AGAIN
Ai ni fureta TO FEEL YOU
Wasurenaide kono ACHING

IT’S A NEW DAY
IT’S TODAY
AND I LIVE WITH YOU FOREVER
I DON’T SAY “GOOD BYE”
IS IT TOO LATE TO TELL?
BUT I SWEAR I’M NEVER GIVIN’ UP
SO GIVE ME ANOTHER SKY

IT’S A NEW DAY, TRUE DAY
AND I BELIEVE MYSELF FOREVER
I DON’T SAY “GOOD BYE”
IS IT TOO LATE TO TELL?
BUT I SWEAR I’M NEVER GIVIN’ UP
SO CLIMB UP TO THE PURPLE SKY

Suck a Stew Dry - Shitsuren, shitsuren. (english translation)

I’m assuming that this is from a girl’s perspective, since he’s using “atashi”.

失恋、失恋。/ Heartbreak, heartbreak.*

Music and Lyrics: Shinoyama Kosei

It was almost always me contacting you.
And I was almost always told that you were busy.
You almost always had that same bored expression on your face.
But that was also somehow endearing to me.

I didn’t expect things to stay like this forever.
But then you suddenly said “Goodbye”.

I kind of saw it coming, but**
Actually being told that still hurts.
Thank you for loving someone like me until now.
I kind of saw it coming, but
Actually being told that still hurts.
Since one day I’ll eventually be able to forget,
Until then, please treat me well, heartbreak, heartbreak.

It was almost always me contacting you.
And I was almost always told that you were busy.
Every time, you said “I can’t meet you” again. And again “I can’t come.”
In those days, I wanted to see you but I couldn’t.
But somehow, I still thought “That’s also part of love.”

I kind of saw it coming, but**
Actually being told that still hurts.
Thank you for loving someone like me until now.
I kind of saw it coming, but
Actually being told that still hurts.
Since one day I’ll eventually be able to forget,
Until then, please treat me well, heartbreak, heartbreak.

“See you, let’s meet again.”
With a “let’s meet again”, it’s bye-bye
“See you, let’s meet again.”
With a “let’s meet again”, it’s bye-bye
“See you, let’s meet again.”
With a “let’s meet again”, it’s bye-bye
“See you, let’s meet again.”

“…I wish you happiness in the future.”

I kind of saw it coming, but**
Actually being told that still hurts.
Thank you for loving someone like me until now.
I kind of saw it coming, but
Actually being told that still hurts.
Since one day I’ll eventually be able to forget,
Until then, please treat me well, heartbreak, heartbreak.

Heartbreak, heartbreak.
Heartbreak, heartbreak.
Heartbreak, heartbreak.

“The truth is, I didn’t really love you.”
“The truth is, I didn’t really love you.”
I’m just kidding, that’s a lie.

Notes:
*Would probably be a bit more accurate to say “unrequited love”, but “unrequited love, unrequited love” sounds rather awkward.
**Not sure about this line

失恋、失恋。/ Shitsuren, shitsuren.

Dohchin Yoshikuni - Reload (romaji only)

There's something so charming about his style as a rock artist. It's got this weird balance between a super polished pop vibe and this sincere, slightly awkward level of enthusiasm.

CHEMISTRY (Dohchin Yoshikuni) - ALL MY LOVE (english translation)

I've never listened to CHEMISTRY before, and I wasn't really wowed by the other tracks of theirs that I tried, but something about the vibe Dohchin gives off in this video reminds me a little bit of both Okada Junichi and Imai Tsubasa, mixed with the singing ability of an RnB artist, and it's pretty dreamy.

The English translation I did is probably a little wonky, but I tried my best. It's a pretty straightforward song, but I feel like I'm reading some of the lines wrong.



ALL MY LOVE

Lyrics: Zooco, Dohchin Yoshikuni
Music: K-Muto

I just wanna know you, don't you know me yet?
I just wanna show you all my love
I just wanna hold you so so tight, yeah
I just wanna give you all my life

I promise to give you an amazing night,
So baby, trust my love.
Stay with me right now.
I’ll give you a more beautiful dream than anyone else
Baby, take my hand and let’s slip away together

Before long, you’ll be able to talk to me about your true intentions frankly
It’s nice to let go of that style where you’re constantly overexerting yourself, isn’t it?

Countdown to love – are you ready now?
Let’s get together, we already can’t be separated
We’ll start a new story from zero together
Until we can feel each other all over our bodies
Tonight, I want to give it a try
I love you
Don’t stop that overflowing melody

Even before we get to meet up,*
Now,
Baby, come close to me,
Feel my soul,
Let’s bridge the gap between us
I feel the hesitant throbbing of your pulse and give it a gentle kiss**
Baby, try my love
Because I’ll swear my devotion to you passionately

This love that has missed its target, that’s right, it’s headed in your direction
The miracle of our meeting
Wouldn’t you call it fate?

Countdown to love – are you ready now?
Let’s get together, we already can’t lose our way
It’s a story of the future that we’ll start together, until the time when you can change***
Tonight, I want to hold you
I love you, don’t let the light that’s been born go out

I was always searching in loneliness
The cold street corners felt like a labyrinth
You, and only you, are the reason I exist
All my love, I’ll offer it all to you
Yes! Baby baby, your smile is the answer I’ve been searching for

Countdown to love – are you ready now?
Let’s get together, we already can’t be separated
We’ll start a new story from zero together
Until we can feel each other all over our bodies
Tonight, I want to give it a try
I love you
Don’t stop that overflowing melody

I just wanna know you, don't you know me yet?
I just wanna show you all my love
I just wanna hold you so so tight, yeah
I just wanna give you all my life

It will always be like this
It can’t be stopped
You’ll fall in love again
And wipe your tears

Notes:
*, **Really not sure about these lines
***I think the implication of “until the time when you can change” is that she can’t get over her past relationships or she can’t trust him at the moment – so he’s hoping she’ll change her mind and believe in him one day. Might be wrong though. I’m not really sure.

ALL MY LOVE

I JUST WANNA KNOW YOU, DON'T YOU KNOW ME YET?
I JUST WANNA SHOW YOU ALL MY LOVE
I JUST WANNA HOLD YOU SO SO TIGHT YEAH
I JUST WANNA GIVE YOU ALL MY LIFE

Tobikiri no yoru yakusoku suru kara
BABY, TRUST MY LOVE. STAY WIZ ME ima sugu ni
Dare yori mo suteki na yume o ageru
BABY, TAKE MY HAND futari nukedasou

Takeuchi Denki - sexy sexy (rough english translation)

I'm not super confident about this one, but I think the general idea is there.

Yamashita-only lines in [ ]



sexy sexy

Lyrics: Takeuchi Satoshi
Music: Takeuchi Denki

The sparkling summer sun,
And the lingering scent of the sweet night we spent together tickle my heart

It’s just a dream or an illusion
No matter how I try to think that,
That expanding image won’t be erased

Ah, you dance, and throw off your sweaty clothes
Ah, tempting me, you untie your hair and let it get disheveled
Don’t look at me with those eyes

Sexy sexy,
I don’t care if it’s a lie
Set me on fire
Until I’m broken, with you

Sexy sexy,
I can’t stop
I wish this night would never end

(Sha na na na na na
Please somebody)

(Sha na na na na na
Please teach me how to…)

It was blinding, so I was looking at it with slightly narrowed eyes
I opened the window, and the wind was blowing gently

Goodbye to the summer sun, and to that sweet night we can’t go back to,
The increasingly distant scenery was the only thing wavering

Sexy sexy,
I don’t care if it’s a lie
Set me on fire
Until I’m broken, with you

Sexy sexy,
I can’t stop
I’m going to fall into this night

Even now, and in the future, always
If my wish won’t come true, I want to break it!

That’s it, it’s fine if it’s a lie
It’s fine if we can never go back again!

SALU - In My Life (english translation)

I feel like someone has probably already translated this, but I wanted to try. There are a lot of lines I'm not sure about, but I think the general message is pretty clear.



In My Life

Lyrics: SALU
Music: BACHLOGIC

I don’t know the future
I can’t even tell you what will happen two seconds from now
That’s why we can’t be stopped*
No one can confine us
Yeah, money, I got it
Let’s shout “kanpai!” out loud
Baby we can do it all
Hey, we can do anything
The power of false assumptions is amazing*
Before, if I wanted something,
I used to just make a silent wish to Santa
Being a spectator at a game as well,
Well, it’s fun for what it is**
But “I’m a player”
The moment I started feeling that way, there was no stopping me
There are no second chances at life
What’s behind you won’t change, so look forward

There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
I wonder how it will turn out
I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know

When you’re filled with regrets,
It’s like your heart is stuck
I drink the last of my coffee at the park
There’s only five minutes left…okay
“I may not have found a job in a first class business, but I’m okay
I’m living on my own, without any trouble”
“Sending…”
Somehow, when I look up at the sky,
I think of common phrases and ads
Things like “I want to see you” and rules to be cool***
I want to change this planet into my ideal world,
But, well, the truth is, you can’t change the true nature of human beings
Violence and capital rule over us
And the people who want to give us some leeway can’t get results****
Mammonism and materialism
Dealing with material bitches, from this point on it’s impossible*****
When they looked at me, I used to be able to flip them off******
But I throw the peace sign back at them too
Every now and then I feel like my heart is breaking,
But I’m going to make the world I’ve been dreaming of
If I keep trying over and over again,
The future will change a little bit
Without letting it go out, I’ll turn that tiny flame into my strength and go!

There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
I wonder how it will turn out
I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know

How much time is left?
And how much money do we really need?
I ask myself that, but of course, all I know is what’s going on right now
We’ll be thinking about those things all our lives
But it’s heaven on earth, this air I’m sharing with you
We keep fighting against gravity
You work with your time and pay with your time*******
We are earthlings

There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
Even if we have regrets, we can’t be stopped
There are no second chances at life
This is my life, you know
I wonder how it will turn out
I don’t know what our future will be like…I don’t know

That’s right, nobody knows what the future will hold
You don’t know
So let’s savor the present
This is my life
There’s no second chance
You drive me crazy
And so, maybe
It won’t end

Notes:
*, **, ***, ****, *****, ****** I’m really not sure about these lines
******* I think the idea here is that if you work all your life you won’t have any time to do anything else and you’ll regret it, but I’m not sure

In My Life

ONIGAWARA - Tank Top wa niawanai (english translation)



タンクトップは似合わない / Tank Tops Don’t Suit Us

From the trapezius to the deltoid
To the showy biceps
From the serratus anterior to the muscles of the forearm
To the pecs, yeah yeah yeah yeah!!
From the external and internal obliques
To the ripped abs
From the teres major to the lats
To the gaudy hips, no no no no!!

No matter how I chase after them,
No matter how I case after them,
It’s like they’re a mirage I can’t quite get a hold of
Why?
Even we’re supposed to be created equal, aren’t we?
Summer is coming again, isn’t it?

Tank tops don’t suit us
Let’s have a party on the sparkling beach and make some noise people!
I want to wear a tank top
And join those sunburnt, muscular perfect bodies*
I’m dreaming of you, my beautiful tank top baby

Skin and bones, with a perm and glasses
Chubby, with a shaved head and glasses
Whether it’s red or blue, we’re both making noise
With a mic in our left hands
Not in tank tops, but running shirts**
Not in denim shorts, but jeans***
Outside is a coat, inside there’s underwear
Is this “normcore”? No no no no!!****

No matter how I ask,
No matter how I ask
There’s no answer in this life
None but to survive!
Even if it’s just once, it’s a waste if you don’t enjoy yourself*****
Look, summer is coming

Tank tops don’t suit us
Let’s have a party on the sparkling beach and make some noise people!
I want to wear a tank top
And join those sunburnt, muscular perfect bodies*
I’m dreaming of you, my beautiful tank top baby

Summer means fireworks and a BBQ
You sunburnt guys and girls aren't scared, right?******
I’m listening to Southern and RIDE ON TIME
And I want to go to those festivals I’ve been admiring with Gawara*******

Tank tops don’t suit us
Let’s have a party on the sparkling beach and make some noise people!
I want to wear a tank top
And join those sunburnt, muscular perfect bodies*
I’m dreaming of you, my beautiful tank top baby

Notes:
*Could also be something like “With a sunburnt, muscular perfect body”
**As in an athletic shirt with sleeves (presumably because they put less emphasis on the arms?)
***It just says “denim”, but I’m assuming here that they mean instead of the traditional summer cut-offs to show off they’re wearing full-length jeans to hide their legs
****Apparently this is a fashion trend about wearing unpretentious and “normal” clothing https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normcore
*****Not sure about this line
******Not sure about this one either
*******I think their fans are called “Gawara”?

ONIGAWARA - Yokubou (english translation)

Not really sure about this one, but I tried.



欲望 / Desire

Lyrics: Takeuchi Satifour
Music: ONIGAWARA

We don’t have time to waste being idle
Life is over in one shot for you & I
You can’t cheat your way out, and there’s no going back
I don’t know what will come my way in the future
It’s the rise and fall of life, constantly going up & down
If there were only good things, it’d be too boring, wouldn’t it?

If all you can say is “which one is good?” or “that one is bad”,
Won’t you please just go away?

I want that
And I want this too
I don’t need something similar
I want to do that
And I want to do this too
If I surrender to my desire,
Will I be able to steal away your heart?

“Stop going so slow, it’s annoying”*
I feel like our paces aren’t matching at all
If I can’t give chase, will you leave me behind? Baby**
Even so, if I’m really important to you,
Grab my hand and pull me along, baby***

Saying things like “Either is fine” or “Any one is fine”, you can’t be negligent like that
Maybe it’s just because you can’t get the thing that’s truly precious to you?

I want that
And I want this too
I don’t need something similar
I want to do that
And I want to do this too
If I surrender to my desire,
Will I be able to steal away your heart?

If you notice me,
If you decide that you need me,
Things like genres and categories won’t matter
If you give to me,
I’ll want to give to you as well
And from now on, I swear I’ll always sing for you

I want love
I want money
But more than all that, I want you
I want to kiss you
I want to hold you
Somehow, if I’m able to say it frankly,****

I want that
And I want this too
I don’t need something similar
I want to do that
And I want to do this too
If I surrender to my desire,
Will I be able to steal away your heart?

You noticed me,
And you decided that you need me,
So, from now on, I swear I’ll always sing for you

Notes:
*,**,***,**** I’m really not sure about these lines

Back Drop Cinderella - Berlin Trombone (english translation)



ベルリントロンボーン / Berlin Trombone

Music and Lyrics: Back Drop Cinderella

Eins, zwei, eins, zwei, eins, zwei

Berlin is the best (Berlin is the best!)
Berlin is so great (Berlin is so great!)

Berlin is the best (Berlin is the best!)
Berlin is so great (Berlin is so great!)

It seems like such a historic city
Berlin has a great reputation (Berlin has a great reputation!)

Somehow, it’s really great, isn’t it?
As I thought, it’s pretty great
Berlin is the best (Berlin is really cool)
That’s right, isn’t it?
It’s good, isn’t it?
That’s right
I want to try and go there sometime

Of course, I don’t really know
I don’t really know,
And I’m not particularly interested*
You haven’t been either
You haven’t been either,
But whenever you’re free, let’s do it again**

I’m fine with staying in Japan,
Since there are still things I wanna do here
If it’s not enough for you,
See you, and take care

*Not sure about this line
**Maybe he means “Let’s talk about it again”? Seems weird that he says they both haven’t gone and then says “kurikaeshi”

ONIGAWARA - Shutter Chance '93 (english translation)

I'm not super confident about this one, but I think the general message is there.



シャッターチャンス'93 / Shutter Chance ‘93

Lyrics: Takeuchi Satifour
Music: ONIGAWARA

Shutter chance
Shutter chance
Let it fly! Artistic selfie magic
Don’t use any apps, okay?
Shutter chance
Shutter chance
45-degree angled selfie magic
I wonder which one is the real you?

Why is the you I see on my timeline always so cute?
You flick your thumb,
Wink with your left eye,
And write “ii ne” in a heart*
Your beauty when you’re just waking up isn’t reflected on the film
Let’s see __’s new work and go to drink together next time**

You can give yourself a completely different person’s proportions
This technology didn’t exist in 1993
Today everyone is a magician
And you can become Cinderella right away***

Shutter chance
Shutter chance
Let it fly! Artistic selfie magic
Don’t use any apps, okay?
Shutter chance
Shutter chance
45-degree angled selfie magic
I wonder which one is the real you?

Today, my timeline is overflowing with the same faces
I wonder where the real you is, and what you’re thinking about?

This is promotion in the modern era
It can’t stay the same as it used to be in 1993
The whole country is filled with artists
And we can become celebrities right away

Shutter chance
Shutter chance
Let it fly! Artistic selfie magic
Don’t use any apps, okay?
Shutter chance
Shutter chance
45-degree angled selfie magic
I wonder which one is the real you?

Hey, do you remember?
Back then, we used to wind the film with our thumbs
Hey, now we’re turning the whole world around with our thumbs
Even though I want you to only show your real self to me

Shutter chance
Shutter chance

Shutter chance
Shutter chance
Let it fly! Artistic selfie magic
Don’t use any apps, okay?
Shutter chance
Shutter chance
45-degree angled selfie magic
I wonder which one is the real you?

Eggu pose!
Toothache pose!
Howling pose!
E jan**** pose!

And, finally, everybody peace!

ONIGAWARA - Let's Dance!! (english translation)



Let’s Dance!!

Lyrics: Takeuchi Satifour
Music: ONIGAWARA

The truth is, I'm definitely really interested in you
What do you think of me?
How things are going to progress from here
My imagination has reached its limit
I want to learn more and more about you
Tonight, definitely
That’s right, I want to know the answer
Following some boring formula is no good
Teachers don’t know the solution
And places like schools can’t teach it
But the answer is definitely somewhere in this night

You can’t take that first step
You hesitate, saying “Someone like me…”
Saying things like “That’s pathetic” or “uncool”*
You don’t really feel that way, do you?**

Let’s dance!!
Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing
Right now!!
Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right?
Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!!
Let’s get together now!!

“Hey, sensei, won’t you teach me?”
Things are going to progress from here***
Let’s break away from this boring party
On the stage of the starry sky
The mirrorball moon is circling round
We’ll share a romantic dream tonight

You trip on the first step
And you end up lying down on top of the asphalt
People say things like “pathetic” and “uncool”
But, it’s okay if you can get up from there, right?

Let’s dance!!
Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing
Right now!!
Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right?
Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!!
Let’s get together now!!

Society makes you dance along with it****
But there’s no one like you
People say things like “pathetic” and “uncool”
But, I wonder if those are really such bad things to be?

Let’s dance!!
Let’s clap our hands with everyone else!
Right now!!
Even if you’re out of time, it’s okay, right?
If you believe only in your own heart

Let’s dance!!
Following the rhythm, let’s start dancing
Right now!!
Even if it’s awkward, it’s okay, right?
Say goodbye to all the sadness you’ve carried until now!!
Let’s get together now!!

Notes:

WANIMA - 1106 (english translation)



1106

Music and Lyrics: Matsumoto Kenta

Dear xx,
I wonder if you’re getting used to your new life?*
You’re probably worried about a lot of things, but
Is there a sea over there?

The sweets you like that haven't changed at all over the years
Going from your usual seat to the balcony
Even the sun shining on the smoke from your cigarette
I’m remembering all those things vividly

The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship**
Looking out towards the open sea
On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too
The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship
Looking out towards the open sea
On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too
Being rocked by the waves…

Far away, so far away that it's astonishing
You’ve taken off on a journey to somewhere faraway
Hey, is it okay if I sing so I can remember you, on days when things don’t go my way?***
You taught me to do that, right?
That’s what you taught me…isn’t it?

I started wanting to hear your voice
So I did an impression of you and laughed
At 4:49, the mundane scenery was transformed

The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship
Looking out towards the open sea
On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too
The lullaby of the tapping sound of the ship
Looking out towards the open sea
On clear days, and on rainy days and cloudy days too
Being rocked by the waves…

The wind is cold and the lattice door is shaking
My body is getting chilled by the draft entering through it,
But without letting out even a single little sound,
I’m heading towards the sea
I wonder how many times I’ve been saved by pretending that everything is okay

Far away, so far away that it's astonishing
You’ve taken off on a journey to somewhere faraway
Hey, is it okay if I sing so I can remember you, on days when things don’t go my way?***
So I can see if you’re out there somewhere, wave your hand…
So they can see you from even where the anchor has been dropped, wave your hand…

Yours truly****

Notes:
*It seems to imply that this is someone who has moved away, but it might also apply to someone that has died
**Do ships make a tapping sound? I feel like this might mean a different noise, but I can’t really imagine what it would be
*** I feel like I might be reading this line wrong as well
****Kenta doesn’t sing this line, but it was in the kanji and I think it ties the letter theme of the song together nicely, so I left it in

Haikei atarashii seikatsu ni
Narete kita tokoro deshou ka
Shinpai na koto wa takusan arimasu ga
Socchi ni umi wa arimasu ka?

Mukashi nagara no okashi ga suki de

Notes:
*The kanji I did this translation from has this line wrong. It says 響く(hibiku), but it should be 驚く (odoroku)
**He doesn't actually sing this in the song

Megamasso - Snowy Blue (romaji only)



スノウィブルー / Snowy Blue

Music and Lyrics: Ryohei

SNOWY BLUE
Maru de, hajime kara shiranai hito no you ni furumaeru ka na.
LAST IN BLUE
Nidoto, aenai hito no mama de ii.
Aenai mama ga ii kara.

Usuku irozuita KISU no hashibashi ga, haiiro ni nigotta
Hon de yomu “sayonara” ni hashagu shoujo ni wa narenai yo.

SNOWY BLUE
Isso, kimi no kakete kureta kotoba-tachi, mushi dekita nara.
LAST IN BLUE
Zutto, “Kimi o suki na koto” dake ni koi o dekiru.

Aoku toumei na kimi no hashibashi ga, haiiro ni nigotta.
Uta de kiku “sayonara” ijou ni mune ga kurushii yo.

SNOWY BLUE
Maru de, hajime kara shiranai hito no you ni furumaeru ka na.
LAST IN BLUE
Kimi to mata kao o awaseta nara, nante ieba ii ka na?

SNOWY BLUE
Maru de, hajime kara shiranai hito no you ni furumaeta nara.
LAST IN BLUE
Kimi wa sunete kureru ka na?
Nanimo omowanai ka na…

Usuku irozuita KISU no hashibashi ga, mou ichido hoshii yo.
Hon de yomu “usotsuki” no imi mo mada shiranai.

Aoku toumei na ketsumatsu ni kizuki, kimi wa kite waratta.
“Usotsuki!” to hontou no imi no kotoba de, dakiyosete, shikatta.
