My-Otome OST: Dream Wing

This song is more cheerful than the opening song from My-Hime. The performer is same person like previous series, Minami Kuribayashi. Maybe it's because the series itself has another nuance than the previous series. This new series has a lighter nuance than My-Hime. Well, I'm not see it, but from the review I read it's not as complicated as the previous series. I've got the lyrics from animelyrics, but it's romaji only (Japanese lyrics). There's no translation version.
Well then maybe I'll make the translation like I did before. Wish me luck!

OK, that's it. See you next time.

Just Fly Away

Hello, What,s up! It's me again.

At last I found this song! Yeah!It's one of the Yonekura Chihiro's songs, "Just Fly Away". It's an opening song from Mon Colle Kinght , one of a vintage anime I like when I was a little children. I like this anime, it's funny and refreshing, and I still like it till now. Well, that time there's only a few animes broadcasted in my country. This is one of the best. The song imediately caught my attention.That's why I want to put it in here.

Yonekura Chihiro is also an artist who performing "Butterfly Kiss" from RAVE. She's good in a mellow song. But it's nice when she's perform this song, too.

So, here's the video from Youtube:



Thanks to anthraxleon for the video. Even it's just an AMV.

I also found the lyrics and the translation. Here is the Japanese lyrics. For the translation, you can go through to this link.

OK, that's all. I hope you can enjoy it.

Direct translation of "Open Your Mind"

Hello, how are you? After trying hard to translate this song, I come here to share it to the world, since I don't get any translation in any site. This is my first time, so I think it's not perfect yet. I just try to translate it directly, but I hope you can understand it.

Before the translation, I'll give you the TRUE Japanese lyrics, since I've seen a bad mistake in the romaji lyrics in animelyrics.com. Here is the TRUE lyrics of "Open Your Mind" by Youko Ishida, based on the kanji version from Gendou.com:


OPEN YOUR MIND

fukai ao no sekai koete meguriau
kaze ga toori nuketeku

maiorita masshiroi hane fuwari yurete
oshiminaku kakegaenai anata wo tsutsumitai
aisuru hito mamoru chikara ryoute ni motteru hazu (open your mind)

kokoro wo hiraite (itsumo yume miteta)
negai wo kaze ni nosete tooku (open your mind)
mienai hane ga aru (hora anata ni mo aru)
jiyuu na basho ni yukeru
sou dare demo

kaze ga kagayaki dashitara arukidasou
mou kowakunai kara

chigireta kumo no mukou kawa hikari afure
massugu na michi sono saki ni nanika ga mieru deshou?
iki wo sutte kaze no nioi kanjite donna toki mo

hateshinaku hiroi ao no sekai
chiisana hane shinkokyuu shite
sora ni mukai habatakeru kara
sore wa mirai atarashii ashita
mitsukeru KAGI (open your mind)

kokoro wo hiraite (itsumo yume miteta)
negai wo kaze ni nosete tooku
mienai hane ga aru (hora anata ni mo aru)
jiyuu na basho ni yukeru

tobira wo hiraite (donna tobira demo)
itsudemo watashi soba ni iru wa (open your mind)
mienai hane hiroge (hora oikaze ni notte)
tobitatsu toki wa kuru no
sou dare demo

sora ga aoi...

And this is the direct translation from me:

OPEN YOUR MIND

Meet fortuitously in this deep, blue sky
The wind was came out to the avenue

Pure white wing swayed alight gently
Freely covering the irreplaceable you
It should be the power to protect the one I love in both my hand (Open your mind)

Open your heart (I always see the dream)
My wish rode the wind to the distant place (Open your mind)
This invisible wings (Look, you have it, too)
Can able to take you to the freedom place
And anyone, too

Walking together with the radiance wind
Cause there’s no afraid anymore

Light overflow beyond the side of tear clouds
Something can be seen straight in that front path, right?
Feel the scent of wind in your inhaled breath anytime

In this eternally vast, blue world
This little wings taking a deep breath
Because my wings flapping to the other side of the sky
There will be a new future for tomorrow
The key has been found (Open your Mind)

Open your heart (I always see the dream)
My wish rode the wind to the distant place
This invisible wings (Look, you have it, too)
Can able to take you to the freedom place

The gate has been opened (whatever the gate is)
I always being here anytime (Open your mind)
Spreading this invisible wings (Look, you can ride the tailwind now)
It’s time for take off now
Everyone can do it

The sky is blue.

About the romaji lyrics, I've done a change. I change the word "shintokyuu" to "shinkokyuu", means "taking a deep breath". This is something important, because I almost failed to translate this song if I don't heard the song again.

I had surfed the Google before made this translation. And because there's no one mad it yet, so I tried to be the first. Well, I hope you satisfy with this translate. Maybe it's still need an editing to make it better, I know it's still rough since it's a direct translation. And I'll accept any suggest from you about it.

Well, that's all. See you again!

It's a Green Peace

Well, it's not that environment NGO. It's about this song.



"Open Your Mind" By Youko Ishida

It's the song from Ishida Youko. After searching (again) Youtube, finally I found this video. Green is something that very stuck in my mind after seen this video clip. Before I seen it, I thought about a wide green grass plain like in the European village I always seen in TV. But it's not. It's not bad, actually.


She has an angelic voices. I like it. So peaceful.

You can see the lyrics in animelyrics.com.

Feel the breeze wind under your little wings and spread it, fly to the blue sky with freedom. Fly high, touch the blue sky above you.

See you again.

Journey Through the Decade

Hello! How are you? I hope it's fine.

Do you know about Kamen Rider Decade? Kamen Rider Decade is the newest Kamen Rider series in this year. It's the tenth Rider in Heisei Rider series, that's why his name is Decade. Well, I don't know much about it. But I know that Gackt take a part in this serial as the Opening Song Performer. This is the video I took from Youtube:



The video shows a battle between Decade with a monster came upon him from Gackt's back. And in the end of the video you can see an interaction between him (in human form) and Gackt. Gackt is look like some kind of antagonist here, when he attacking Tsukasa (a human form of Decade). But until that, he turn back and going away, leaving Tsukasa alone. Well, maybe he do it because Tsukasa is ready to take an attack to him (maybe Tsukasa think he's a monster, too). The way Gackt launch a single attack to Tsukasa is cool. It feels like he said "you're too fast a hundred years to have a fight with me". That's why he prefer to go and not take a battle with him.

About the song, well, I think I like when he performing "Redemption" than this song. But it's not bad after all. It's still good to hear.

OK that's all. It's time to go. See you next time.

Hitomi Shimatani "Falco"

At last! There's someone put it in youtube! Thanks for dantelamperouge fannimieres.

First time I see this video I just can say WOW! It's mixing Indian music, futuristic style, and techno in one blend. It's quite new I guess.

I like the music, too.

So enjoy the song. See you next time :)

P.S (May, 8^th): Sorry, I've made a mistake with putting a wrong size video. I've fix it now, this one with Spanish subtitle. And I change the uploader since I used another video. Sincerely sorry.

Keita Tachibana's "Friend"

Hello, this is me again. How are you?
I've found (again) one of my fave anime song. This is "Friend" from keita Tachibana. Just hear his voice.


It's an OP from "Blue Dragon". Actually I think his voice's too rough. But it's not in worse level. Maybe because he's rocker. I like the guitar. I also like the part before chorus.

To bad, I don't see any translate version in animelyrics.com.


Ok, that's it for now. See you next time :)

Hello !
How are you today? It's fine, isn't it? I hope it's fine.

After a long time, I'll put another cool song I like from Yamada Yu.


This is the 1^st ending song from Blue Dragon Animation.

Even this song is for a girl, but I still like the song. And the lyrics is also nice.

The song is so cheerful, it's good to change the bad mood.

There's one thing emphasizing in this song. That is "JUST BE U". Yep, it's Just to be yourself. There's so much girls in Japan trying to be someone so they can being accepted in the popular group or some group they like. It looks like there's some pride or prestige to being in such of that group. Well, but the best is still to be yourself. Even there's no one consider yourself now, keep to be yourself.
When someone saying "You're not cool!" or something like that, just close your ears. It's a good habit, I guess.

Maybe no one see you now, but someday there will be some one looking at you. So just be yourself. That's the point!
Keep cheers!

OK, that's all. See you next time!

Butterfly Kiss

The first song from RAVE the animation. At last there's someone uploading it to Youtube. Thanks! Well, for US audience this song is not available to seen. The US version, called Rave-o-lution use the dub version, which a 100 % different from the Japanese version. HONESTLY, it's so worst to see. The dub version I've seen in youtube some years ago is deflecting everything I've imagine about this anime. Actually it's a cool shounen anime, but the dubbed opening song made it so dumb, clown-like anime.

Hearing the real song is much far better than the dubbed version. Yonekura Chihiro singing it good so it being an easy listening song. The blend of the music instruments in this song create a nice rhythm and beat. This song describing the RAVE world so perfect. Better than the worst dubbed version.

Here's the TV version of this song.


And this is the live version:


The musicians looks like familiar to me. Maybe they're JAM Project, the group that perform "Little Wings", an opening OST from Scrapped Princess. Well, it's just my guess. I don't know it exactly.

OK, that's all. See you next time!

Translation of My Pace

I've found the translation lyrics from Gendou. Thanks for somebody (the nickname is SG2 or suupaa gohan 2) who put it in. It reveal the meaning of the song. It's just like the video tell to you when you're watching it.

Count 1. It's good to improve
Count 2. It's good to rest
Count 3. It's good to think
It's good to be able to progress at my own pace.

Left behind in the flow of time
Impatient feelings are often being forgotten
It is a wasteful, reckless challenge, after all
Often saying things to that which is abandoned

Offense!! In the hard times, raise your voice
And get going
Offense!! Aim for the direction you see yourself
And meet it head-on

Rise up to the big wall
You don’t need to be afraid
In this human existence with no answers
I can pay back my confusion if I just
Keep my pace

First!! I counted, it’s OK to go ahead
Second!! I counted, it’s OK to rest
Third!! I counted, it’s OK to think about it
As I continue at my pace

Studying the truth of reason
And not understanding, we lose our freedom
Even when called a cowardly person
Take a step forward; that is courage

Offense!! Turn around, use the strength of your voice
And get going
Offense!! Bolster your strength on your shoulders
Now, look ahead

The map of the future is painted into the sky
Yet even now, it doesn’t reach
When the time comes that I stretch out both hands
I’ll be able to grasp it, and
Keep my pace

Offense!! With even just a big voice, it can be done
And you’ll see
Offense!! Aim for the direction you see yourself
And meet it head-on

Rise up to the big wall
You don’t need to be afraid
Even if it doesn’t work out and you run away
It’s not going to change

The echo of the first bell sounds
Now is the time to stand up
In this human existence with no answers
I can pay back my confusion if I just
Keep my pace

First!! I counted, it’s OK to go ahead
Second!! I counted, it’s OK to rest
Third!! I counted, it’s OK to think about it
As I continue at my pace.

My Pace by Sunset Swish

The longest PV I ever know. The unique one from Bleach. The folk music make it special. I like folk music. It have something that modern music doesn't have. OK, anyway, here is the lyrics.

Hitotsu! Kazoete susumeba ii,
Futatsu! Kazoete yasumeba ii,
Mittsu! Kazoete kangaerya ii,

Mubou na chousen shosen muda to
Iwarete akirameru koto nakare

Ofensu! kurushii toki ni

Hitotsu! Kazoete susumeba ii,

Hitotsu! Kazoete susumeba ii,
Futatsu! Kazoete yasumeba ii,
Mittsu! Kazoete kangaerya ii,
Mai peesu de susumereba ii

As usual, I took this from Animelyrics.com. I don't get the translation in it. Too bad.

Even I have a bad skill in Japanese Language, from the video I understand it. It's a good PV. The story in it made it more longer than another PV. But it helping to show the meaning of the song. So it's an equal trade.

OK, that's it. See you next time.

Stay away bu L`Arc~en~Ciel

The one and only PV where Laruku dancing like a young man. They're great in para-para dancing. Who guest? But I've heard it's the one and only dancing PV they have. But still it's good.

Pride of Tomorrow - JUNE

Upload in Youtube By Otakuness.

First thing I can say about this PV is: Cool! The dance is cool. Looks like JUNE feel the song with his body, too. I fell the song's meaning by seeing him dancing. The first part of his dance is a regret style. But soon it change to something powerful, like he revive from his lost. The second part of his dance is full of energy.

The song itself have a good meaning. Well, actually it's a common theme in anime's OST. It's about revive from the ground zero to the peak. I don't know if the words "Trying to bury the things that I've lost, I've let go of my pride. I'm going to take it back with my own two hands; I can see the light of tomorrow. Pride of tomorrow" is an analog or it's a real meaning. It's a something that Japanese usually use to describe about revive from the failed step or get the spirit back after failed. Most of anime's OST I've ever known were used this theme. But it's suitable to the anime itself. Because the main character seems like that. Well, I'm not watching D-Gray Man yet. But I've read the resume, and I think to restore from his condition needs a great braveness.

The Pride of Tomorrow, or I interpreting it as "The Pride to seek 'tomorrow'". It looks the one who's in the song has been failed or defeated by something. But he don't wanna to walking in sullen. He instead threw his lost and wake up to revenge it. It's like the main character in D-Gray Man when he get up to revenge Sennen Hakushaku who was killed someone important in his life. Maybe the maker of this anime choose this song because its meaning, just like another anime. And it's important to them, because the song (OST) is kinda preface to the anime itself.

JUNE in his dance is good. I know he's the great dancer from his posture. Only the good dancer have the thin-but-muscle arm and the thin body like that. Makes me remember The Rain.

OK, that's all. See you again :).

Tomorrow by Shimokawa Mikuni

It's a song from fullmetal.panic! (the first number from "fullmetal panic" series).

I like this part:
"kono sekai ni umareta sono imi wo
kimi to mitsuke ni yukou
itami sae mo kakaenagara
atarashii keshiki
motto tooku made
mukae ni yukou"

In English, this part has been translated as:
"I'll go search with you
For the meaning of my birth in this world
Even while wounded,
Let's go
Even further on
To meet the new scenery".

Well,it's a quite romantic, I guess. Each person must find its meaning in this world. I interpreting this song as a reason why we born in this world. Each men always have their right live partner (suppose to be, this is one of my live principles). When together is better than alone. There's something more beautiful waiting when walking together to the same way than alone or fighting each other because we're walking in a different way. Peace and love is more better than riot and war, right?

I guess I'll answer the girl which singing in this song with my pure heart, because she giving me her truly heart and feeling, too. Well, it's just my imagination if I'm become someone the girl in this song call as "you". Hey, who want to reject it? It's something I think. I don't know when I get a girl like this. I hope she's real.

OK that's all. See you next time. Thanks for read this blog.

D-Technolive

Uploaded by snapamonkey.

Hello, Happy Chinese New Year!
Yesterday was the celebration for Chinese all over the world. I hope this year you'll always full of joy and prosperity.

Well, since I've got idea to write something, today I post one more BLEACH's Song. Here's D-Technolive by Uverworld. Both the music and the lyrics is so cool. It also have a great moral message. I put the video, and it looks like it has been subbed. So, you doesn't need to find the meaning anymore. But if you still want to find something about this song's lyrics, just come to here.

About the message, I feel this song is a good OST for the anime like BLEACH. The song's meaning and the anime story is maching each other. The song is like the Ichigo's feeling to Rukia, who looks like have some burden in her shoulder. I like the part "mou waraenai nante hito girai nante kotoba sou iwanai de" or in English "Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people". Also the part "itami wo shiru koto de hito ni yasashiku nareru kara" or in English "By learning pain, you can become a person who can be kind to others".

I think, wow, the meaning is so good. And the beat is just clarify it. It's so high and enthusiastic. The good way to send the song's message. So, are you same the same feeling, too, the feeling so hurt by pain and sadness? Just find your best friend and your best relation to cheer you up. Your best friends is not those only be with you when you happy, but instead in your sadness and also in your happiness. If you want to look around you'll find them. I hope you'll find them.

Well, that's all. See you again next time!
