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!

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,
Mai peesu de susumereba ii

Toki ga nagare tori no kosare
Aseru kimochi wo wasureru nakare
Mubou na chousen shosen muda to
Iwarete akirameru koto nakare

Ofensu! kurushii toki ni
Koso koe wo dashite ikou
Ofensu! jibun ga
Mezashiteru hou e mukae

Sobie tatta ooki na kabe ni
Osoreru koto wa nai
Kotae no nai kono jinsei wo

Keep My Pace

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

Manabu koto no hontou no riyuu
Wakarazu ushinau bokura no jiyuu
Okubyou mono to yobaretemo

Ofensu! Mawari nado

Ofensu! kata no chikara wo nuite

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.

"Malaikat Juga Tahu" by Dewi Lestari

Hello! As I said last time, here's my post. It's a song from one of female singer from Indonesia. Here's the video from Youtube:

Uploaded by angelsky166

This is the Indonesian lyrics (taken from Liriksong ):
Lelahmu jadi lelahku juga
Bahagiamu bahagiaku juga
Berbagi takdir kita selalu
Kecuali tiap kau jatuh hati

Kali ini hampir habis dayaku
Membuktikan padamu ada cinta yang nyata
Setia hadir setiap hari
Tak tega biarkan kau sendiri

Meski seringkali kau malah asyik sendiri
Karena kau tak lihat terkadang malaikat
Tak bersayap tak cemerlang tak rupawan
Namun kasih ini silakan kau adu
Malaikat juga tahu siapa yang jadi juaranya

Hampamu tak kan hilang semalam
Oleh pacar impian
Tetapi kesempatan untukku yang mungkin tak sempurna
Tapi siap untuk diuji
Kupercaya diri
Cintaku yang sejati

Namun tak kau lihat terkadang malaikat
Tak bersayap tak cemerlang tak rupawan
Namun kasih ini silakan kau adu
Malaikat juga tahu siapa yang jadi juaranya

Kau selalu meminta terus kutemani
Engkau selalu bercanda andai wajahku diganti
Relakan ku pergi
Karna tak sanggup sendiri

Namun tak kau lihat terkadang malaikat
Tak bersayap tak cemerlang tak rupawan
Namun kasih ini silakan kau adu
Malaikat juga tahu Aku kan jadi juaranya

I try to translate it to English:

Your tired is my tired, too
Your happiness is my happiness, too
Always sharing our divine together
Unless each time you felt in love

Now, my power is almost finish
To proving you there's a real love
faithfully every day
Not daring to leave you alone

Even you often busy with yourself instead
Because you didn't seen sometimes the angels
are wingless, charmless, not beautiful
But go ahead, test this love
Even the angels knows who's the winner

The emptiness without you can't lost in one night
by the imaginary lovers
But by a chance to me that maybe isn't perfect
but ready to being test
I'm confidence
My love is the real

But you don't see, sometimes the angels
are wingless, charmless, not beautiful
But go ahead, test this love
Even the angels knows who's the winner

You always ask me to accompany you
You always joking if my face can be substitute
Allow me to leave
'Cos I can't be alone

But you don't see, sometimes the angels
are wingless, charmless, not beautiful
But go ahead, test this love
Even the angels knows who's the winner

That's the translation. Well, I'm not sure it's 100% true, because my English is not very well good. And also there's a problem to convert the literature on the lyrics to English's literature. The poems is not being poems again in my translation. Sorry. But I hope you can understand that there's a lady with unconditional love in this song who always give her love to someone she love, but he's not recognize it. how poor. The MV looks like doesn't tell the song's content perfectly like in my mind. But it take another example, where the man is an autism (well, my sister said it doesn't look like an autism perfectly). That's why she said that he always busy with his own world, himself. Even so, she always tried to love him. Till she can't love him anymore. how poor, isn't it? It's one of some most heart-touching songs in my country (for me). It's worth to see.

OK, that's all. See you again in the next song!

Hitomi no Chikara

Well, I almost forget this song. But the chorus is so stuck in my head. I've monophonic ringtone for this song. And it takes from the chorus. It's remarkable to me.

Literally, the title means "Power of Eyes". I think "the eyes" means an attention or interest. It's about being special or important for someone. The attention or interest that we share with someone else can be their power to continue their live. Even a small thing we do can be something big for someone else without we know before.

Here's The Lyrics:

anata no hitomi no chikara de watashi wa kawatte yukou
kinou no yuraida kimochi wo nugisuteru tame ni

yume ni miteita shiawase nara dareka ga hakonde kureru to omotteta
isogi ashi no machi de iiwake bakari minna mo onaji to usobuiteta
hontou ni kimi wa ima manzokushiteru no?
kokoro no mannaka minukaretayoude

anata to deaenakattara itsuwatta egao no mama
uwabe no taido ya kotoba wo kurikaeshita ne
anata no hitomi no chikara de watashi wa kawatte yukou
kinou no yuraida kimochi wo nugisuteru tame ni

hitogomi wa kyou mo mawari nagara ai mo kibou mo suiageteku

kizukazu ni tebanashita dai setsuna mono wo
mou ichido kono te ni dakishimetemitai

anata to deaenakattara kitto semai sora no shita
tekitou na seikatsu no naka de nagasareteita
anata no watashi no mirai wo isshoni kizuite yukou
donna ni kizutsuku koto ni mo mou osorenaide

yakusoku tsuyoku naru kara sono me wo sorasanaide

anata to deaenakattara kitto semai sora no shita
tekitou na kurashi no naka de nagasareteita
anata no watashi no mirai wo isshoni kizuite yukou
donna ni kizutsuku koto ni mo mou osorenaide

Wanna the translation? I think you know where to find it.

From now, let's see our environment. Surely, there's someone familiar to us need our support. Giving them our support can be something good for them. When the world being so individualistic, people are hurting their own self and another, being so lonely and cold. There's no peace or hopes. But when someone share them attention, little by little, their live will be more better.

Do it to our friends and families for the first step. Then to our neighborhood, and our city. Let's make the life better, OK?

OK, That's all! See you again ! :D

Sincerely

Hissashiburi! How are you this month? I hope you'll always good and health. As I said last month, this month's theme is Hikaru no Go. And the first song I post here is "Sincerely". The meaning form this song is good. And that make me like it. Here is the video.

This song is calm but have a deep meaning. The translation can you see in animelyrics.com. But for helping you to understand this song, here is the lyrics.

Tsutaetai omoi ga ima Afurete iru yo

And here is the translation.

The feelings I want to tell you are overflowing right now
But I can't put them into words, being confused
So many seasons have passed since we met
Staying up all night talking sure brings back memories, doesn't it?
I understand the vanity
in this journey towards my dreams

If you are lost
and can't go on
I want you to remember once more
That no matter how far apart we are
We are connected

In the everyday life in which you are tangled up
You really wanted to cry, but you bluffed your way through, didn't you?
Don't push yourself so hard
Stay as you are
Because I really like your smiling face
We've sacrificed so much
to make our dreams come true

If you are lost
and can't go on
I want you to remember once more
That no matter how far apart we are
We are connected

Holding onto sadness and making the same mistakes over again
That's how you become an adult, isn't it?
But I want everyone to know
That they aren't alone

Let's each start our own journey from here
We were different until now
I won't lose anymore, I'll continue forward
To whatever future there is
So that I can become strong

Our story
Will continue forever

Well, the lyrics is good, isn't it? It's a good advice. This song describes about some long fellow which never seen each other in a long time. There's a lot words they want to say, there's a lot of experiences they want to share each other. That make them confuse to start from where. But there's one thing they want, the best for their fellow.

One thing I like from this song is these lyrics:
"Holding onto sadness and making the same mistakes over again
That's how you become an adult, isn't it?
But I want everyone to know
That they aren't alone".

It's the best part of this song. We always make a same mistakes each time. But it makes us more adult. And I like the lyrics when it says, "But I want everyone to know that the aren't alone". I believe it. We're not alone, because we have a good fellows, family, or someone we love with us. We're not alone when we walk on this live. So, respect your friends, families, or someone you love. Because you'll regret if you lose them, the people who understand you. Well, I have them, too. And I thanked to God who sent me to them and vice versa. They're the best for my live. Do you have them, too?

Thanks for read this. See you later! You're one of my best part of my live, even I never seen you are in my reality live. Thanks for you, for sincerely.

BLAZE AWAY by TRAX

Ya-HAAA! I'm here again! It's a new posting for this time. It's a 2^nd ED song. I like the song, because it have a good beat. I like it.

Sena is so cool in this song. So do to Panther. Even Hiruma! His look like a real Akumaou (king of hell). But in another side, he looks like a shogun or warrior. Whatever it is he's so cool, just like in the 5^th ED.

OK, that's all! I hope you like the thematic posting for this month. Enjoy the song. See you again! YA-HAAA!!!

Trust You by Megumi Hayashibara

It's an ED OST from Shaman King. This song have a sweet lyrics and soft tones. Reminds me to a song from 80's. Here's the video:




That's a video record from the concert.

I like this song because its music and lyrics. The lyrics describe Anna's heart. She's really love Yoh, even she always torture him everytime (such a tsundere queen, isn't she ? ;-) ). Anna's feeling reaching Yoh's heart (with her own style) when she talk to him in the night before the Shaman King battle start to begin. I think it's one of the best moment in this anime. She talk to him without her queen-like style, just as an ordinary girl who worry to her love one's condition when he later in middle of battlefield. She's really worry about his condition. That's why I say that this song is match to her feeling.

OK, that's all! Thanks for your coming ^ ^ !

To celebrate BONES' 10^th aniversary, I put this video in my blog. It's a good song from Scrapped Princess. Pasifica is cute, isn't it? Well, actually I want to post this song from some time ago, but I don't get the good video (in Youtube, this video is quite bit... err, you see it yourself). It's not to... err you know what.

The lyrics? Well, just look to here. One of this unique point of this song is it's not using electric guitar, only a trumpet saxophone, bass, and a drum. It makes a soft, slow nuance to this song. It's like a music from 70's or 80's but it's still good in ear.

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

Shimokawa Mikuni: Tomorrow

Well, this is a cheer song. I like this song. And I've got the lyrics (with its translation) from afrocytosis.

JAPANESE:

Futari de nigebasho sagashite
Hashitta tenki ame no naka

Tatoeba nanika wo ushinau toshite mo
Mamotte ikanakya
Hitotsu dake wa

Kono sekai ni umareta sono imi wo
Kimi to mitsuke ni yukou
Itami sae mo kakaenagara
Atarashii keshiki
Mukae ni yukou

Yuuhi ni kazashita yubisaki
Orenji utsushita Purizumu

Jibun no subete wo yuruseru kurai ni
Yasashiku naritai
Kimi no tame ni

Kono sekai ni afureru hikari dake
Ryoute no naka atsumete
Kurayami sae mo terashidasu yo
Nagaku tsudzuku michi
Mayowanai you ni

Kono sekai ni umareta sono imi wo
Kimi to mitsuke ni yukou
Itami sae mo kakaenagara
Atarashii keshiki
Motto tooku made
Mukae ni yukou

And, in ENGLISH:

Together, searching for shelter,
We ran in the rain

Even if I lose something,
There's just one thing
That I have to protect

I'll go search with you
For the meaning of my birth in this world
Even while wounded,
Let's go to meet
The new scenery

I shaded myself from the setting sun
The prism of my fingertips reflected orange

For your sake,
I want to become so kind
That almost everything else about me could be forgiven

The light that overflows this world
Gathers in my hands
Illuminating the darkness
So I won't lose sight of the long road

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

My favourite part is "Kono sekai ni umareta sono imi wo Kimi to mitsuke ni yukou Itami sae mo kakaenagara Atarashii keshiki Mukae ni yukou". This part is so good. In English it's sound "I'll go search with you For the meaning of my birth in this world Even while wounded, Let's go to meet The new scenery".

That's the best part of this song. How romantic, isn't it? :)

OK, that's it. Thanks for reading this :) !

Redemption by Gackt

It's one of FF VII's (Dirge of Cerberus) OST. It's an image song of Vincent Valentine (correct if I wrong). This song is perform by Gackt. Here is the video:

I hope this video will always exist.

This song's PV have a gothic atmosphere. Gackt and his band using visual kei to make some dark, gothic ambient in this PV. Even so, it's good enough an I think it's fit to the music. The beat is various, from soft and calm, to hard and upbeat.

Here is the lyrics from ff7-doc.com:
Shizuka ni sora ni kaeru anata no sugata wo
what else can I do besides avenge you?
Namida ga kareru made zutto mitsumete ita

Afureru kanashimi wa kese nai kizuato ni
Wasure wa shinai to chikatta

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase
Subete wo keshsite mise you
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru
Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made

you told me
live as if you were to die tomorrow
feel as if you were to be reborn now
face as if you were to live forever

Furueru yubi de akai namida wo nazotta
I had nothing to lose, nothing truth
Hakanai omoide ga yami ni ochite yuku

Saigo no hohoemi ga ukandewa kieru
Nukumori dake wo nokoshite

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara
Ima no boku wa iyase nai
Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni
Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake

Itsuka wa kono sora ni daremo ga kaeru kara
Wakare no kotoba wa ira nai
make it up

Oreta tsubasa wo habatakase
Subete wo keshite mise you
Itsu no hi ka owari wo mukaeru
Saigo no kane ga nari yamu made

Yasashii dake no kotoba nara
Ima no boku wa iyase nai

Hateshi naku tsuduku tatakai ni
Kono mi wo subete sasageru dake

REDEMPTION...REDEMPTION...

(I've editted this lyrics a little bit from the real one).
And, from the same site, the translation version:

Your form which returns gently to heaven
What else can I do, besides avenge you?
I watched it for the longest time, until my tears dried up.

And the sorrow overflowing from the scar which can't be erased,
I swore that I would never forget it.

I'll flap my broken wings and erase it all some day, you'll see,
Until the last bell ringing the dirge completes.

You told me to live as if you were to die tomorrow.
Fail not and be what we were now
Face as if we want to have forever

Bright red tears traced by a trembling finger,
I had nothing to lose, nothing to lose
It crashes through the dark memories.

The last smile wavered, and disappears,
And the warmth is all that's left.

Your kind and gentle words can't heal me now,
This body's only dedicated to the never ending fight.

Because everyone returns to heaven, some day,
You'll never need to say goodbye.

Break out!
I'll flap my broken wings and erase it all some day, you'll see,
Until the last bell ringing the dirge completes.

Your kind and gentle words can't heal me now,
This body's only dedicated to the never ending fight.

REDEMPTION...REDEMPTION...

Well, it's a hard lyrics I think. But it also have some spirit on it. The various beat make it perfect.

OK! That's all! See ya next time ! :)

No Regret by Koda Kumi

Find more videos like this on www.truveo.com.

It's a song from Kumi Koda: No Regret. It's an ED from The Law Of Ueki.

It's an unique mixing, this music is blend together proportionally with The Law of Ueki's atmosphere. BTW, this video is cool, isn't it? Actually I've found such of this video in Youtube, but the uploader restrict it to embed in other site. Too bad.

And this is the lyrics from J-popasia:

Yuzure nai no dare nimo
Kono omoi dake wa
Unmei sae koete yukeru nara

Tsumetai tokai no katasumi ni hitori
Ibasho mo naku tada zutto samayoutteta
Kiduite hoshikute sakebi tsuduketeta
Watashi no koe wa yami ni kaki kesareta

Itsuwari bakari no
Kono sekai de kimi dake wa
Hontou no watashi wo mite hoshii

*Yuzure nai no
Dare ni mo kono omoi dake wa
Unmei sae koete yukeru nara
Nido to ko nai
Kono shunkan ni koukai wa shinai you ni
Kakushi wa shinaide
Subete no chikara wo ima kimi ni
Toki hanate!

Hate naku tsuduiteku kunou ni make sou de
Kurushii toki demo kimi wa hitori ja nai
Donna ni tsurakute nigedashi takute mo
Sono saki ni aru asu he to tachiagare!

Wasure naide ite

Shinjitsu wa itsudatte hitotsu dake

Owari no nai

Ari no mama no watashi de ayumi dasu
Sakara wazu ni kono mama unmei ni yudanete
Tadori tsuita sono saki de kitto
Hontou no jibun ni deaeru to
Negatteru

*Repeat

And here is the translation from the same site:

I won’t surrender this feeling
not to anyone
Even if it’s fate, I’ll get past this

I stand alone, on a corner in a cold city
but it’s not where I belong, so I simply keep on wandering
I keep on crying out, for someone to notice be
but my voice just fades into the darkness

It this world
is nothing but a lie
then please let me see the real me

*I won’t surrender this feeling
not to anyone
Even if it’s fate, I’ll get past this
At this very moment
I will have no regrets, not again
I’m not going to hide
So I let go of all my strength
and send it to you!

If you’re endlessly tormented by defeat,
when you’re in pain, even then, you’re not alone
No matter how painful it is, you can always run away
And then you can rise up, and head towards the future!

Never forget
to believe in yourself
because truth, comes down to just one thing

Assuming that there’s no end
to the sadness of the world
I’ll just walk on, knowing my true self
I let myself be guided by fate instead of opposing it
And when I arrive at my desitination
I hope to meet
the real me
*Repeat

It's an first ED song from RAVE the animation. It performs by Yonekura Chihiro, the same artist who perform Butterfly Kiss (the first OP song of RAVE the animation). I don't get the full video, so I just take the TV size. Here is the video:


Even it's only a TV size, I think it's not reduce the quality of this song. If you want to DL it, just go to Gendou.com.
Her voice is still clear, smooth, and gentle. Like it would swing you in a cradle, and make you feel so comfort. I like this song. And honestly, I miss this video. It's one of my favourite anime ED video.

And this is the lyrics from Animelyrics.com:

Tsuki no shita de Sanagi ni natte kuchizuketa garasu no ai no umi
Nami no youna Anata no rizumu idakarete Utau kotoba

-live-Watashi wo kanjite My past Minamo ni kieru yo
Shinjirareru Mono wa subete anato to mitsuketakara

*You're wings on my heart Kono negai haruka na yume no Shijima ni tokete
Nani mo nai Tada anata to tadayou kuni he Aoitori douka Michibiite
Chiisana Sora ga naita

Toumei no ame kawaita te wo atatameta kowagaranaideii?
chigireta kumo todokanai koe kokoniite fureteitaino

-lips- Anata wo kanjite My spell mitasareteyukuyo
Owari no asa hai ni natte watashi ga kietatoshitemo

You're wings on my heart kono omoi Harukana yume no namimani yureteru
Kawaranai tada anata wo Aiseru kuni he Aoitori douka Michibiite
Chiisana niji ga naita

Ameiro no shizuku abite kanashimi no ito hodoketeku

REPEAT *

And here is the translated version:
Under the moon, I became a chrysalis, kissed upon a glass sea of love
Your rhythm is like a wave, embraced by the words of its song

-live- to feel me, my past, disappears on the water's surface
Everything I believed in, I found with you, so...

* You're wings on my heart, this wish, a distant dream that melts in a desolate isle
Nothing else, just with you in a drifting country, bluebird please lead me...
Toward the small sky that weeps

The transparent rain, the warmth of a drying hands, is nothing to be afraid of right?
Scattering clouds, a voice left unheard, painfully screams, "I'm right here!"

lips- to feel you, my spell, comes to it's fruition
In the final morning, like ash, I will disappear, but even so...

You're wings on my heart, this feeling, a distant dream that sways between the waves
Unchanging, just you to a loving country, bluebird please lead me...
Toward the small rainbow that weeps

Bathing in amber-colored drops, the sorrowful knot has unravelled

REPEAT *

Well, I think this song is about yearning. Some girl who yearn her love, but I think it's more than that. I feel she's so lonely. And she cried in her loneliness. But she feel strong when she remember her love. Quite good song. It's fit with the video.

OK! That's all. See you next time!

Rie Fu: "Life is A Boat"

-

Every Bleach's fans must know this! It's the first ending song from Bleach, "Life is Like A Boat". Rie Fu have an unique voice. Her real name is Rie Funakoshi. She has a good English compare to average Japanese. It's because she living in Maryland, USA, when she was 7 years old (1992) until 1995. Her music got influenced by Western 70's pop musician. That's why her music little bit different from another J-Pop artists.

Ok, tht's enough for the performer. If you want to know about her, just go to wikipedia. As usual, I give you the lyrics:

Nobody knows who I really am
I never felt this empty before
And if I ever need someone to come along,
Who's gonna comfort me, and keep me strong?

We are all rowing the boat of fate
The waves keep on coming and we can't escape
But if we ever get lost on our way
The waves would guide you through another day

dooku de iki o shiteru toomei ni natta mitai
kudayami ni omoe dakedo mekaku shisarete tadake

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

Nobody knows who I really am
Maybe they just don't give a damn
But if I ever need someone to come along
I know you would follow me, and keep me strong

hito no kokoro wa utsuriyuku mukedashiteku naru
tsuki wa mada atarashii shuuki de mune o tsureteku

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore
Oh, I can see the shore
When will I see the shore?

I want you to know who I really am
I never thought I'd feel this way towards you
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you, and keep you strong

tabi wa mada tsuzuiteku odayakana hi mo
tsuki wa mata atarashii shuuki de ume o terashidasu

inori o sasagete atarashii hi o matsu
asayaka ni hikaru umi sono hate made

And every time I see your face
The ocean heaves up to my heart
You make me wanna strain at the oars, and soon
I can see the shore

Unmei no huneoko gi nami wa tsugi kara tsuki e to watashi-tachi o sou kedo
Sore mo suteki na tabi ne, dore mo suteki na tabi ne

That's the lyrics, as usual from Animelyrics.

Good song. It's true, life is just aboat. When we trap in the middle of storm, that's so wonderful is there's someone with us who can give us a strength to hold on. The last sentences is the best part of this song. In English, this sentences are like this:

We are rowing the boat of fate, but the waves keep attacking us
But isn't that still a wonderful journey? Aren't any of them a wonderful journey

Even the problems attacking us, when we're not alone, we can face it all. If we can't face it by ourself, we need someone to help us. That's the life. Because there's no one boat can sailing better with only one man.

The music is slow, just like britpop, I guess. But that's the unique thing from Rie Fu's songs.

Ok, that's all for today. See you next time.

Naruto-Alive

It's an ED OST from Naruto. This song's performer is Raiko. It's a Japanese rock band. I haven't found any information about this band in Wikipedia. Maybe you can find any information about them in other site, but I don't focussing myself to this case.
Here is the video:


And here is the song lyrics:

If you want to see the translated version please go to animelyrics. I don' have much time to put it in here. It's make me tired ;)

It's an encouraging song. It tells us not to worry about when we kame a mistake in our live. We shouldn't to waste our live just for regret what we do in the past. It tells us not to worry anything in the future, because we live in today. I think it's a good message for us. Well, I think all of Naruto's OST have a good message, too.

OK, tht's all for today. See you next time!

Kono machi de wa dare mo...

The third ending song from The Law of Ueki TV anime. I like this song because it's unique. The title is so long, so I cut some of them. The real title is "Kono Machi deha Dare mo ga Minna Jibun igai no Nani ka ni Naritagaru". It's so long, right? The performer are the Ivory Brothers. Here's the lyrics:

Kono machi de wa dare mo ga minna jibun igai no nani ka ni naritagaru

Boku wa...

(KEEP ON PUSHING, STEP BY STEP... KEEP ON TRYING, DAY BY DAY)

Kagami mitsume fui ni omou kimi to mirai

Itsumo sukoshi fuan nano sa tsurai

Takuwaetekita yume naraba mada yawarakai

WOW WOW Kono machi de wa dare mo ga mina jibun igai no nani ka ni naritagaru

WOW WOW Sono saki de tadoritsukitai [jibun] ga mietekita yo

Ima wa mada todokanai ima wa tada mae ni susume

(KEEP ON PUSHING MYSELF...)

My Opinion:

I can say this song is cool. I like the part when the performer singing "Akogareru kimochi wa aoi shirushi desu ka? Takuwaetekita yume naraba mada yawarakai". Exactly on the part that I've bolded. It's like that's the best point of this song.

The second things that I like from this song is the music and how the performer singing. It's only a few performer singing like that, I guess. I think this song have some Spanish (or Latin) music influence. And I like that.

Well, I've surving the Internet and not find any translation for this song. I hope you can still enjoy the song even without the translation.

That's all. See you next time!

Ne, nande by Yoshizawa Rie

It's an ED song (the second ED) from Trouble chocolate. I haven't found the Youtube video for this song. But I have the link from gendou if you want to DL it. Here te link, but you must to register first to use this site. I've the lyrics, too. As usual, from animelyrics (without translation):

ai sareteta koto e ni kaita you na yuuhi

I've looking in internet and I didn't get anything about this song's translation. So, I think it's good if I can translate it by myself. But my ability is still weak to translate this song. Well, I just try the best. Maybe I'll show my translation in some posting later, with the video from Youtube (made by me, later).

It's hard to find online dictionary to translate Japanese to English, but I've found one. The site is this. It's quite good, but I must translate the Japanese word by word. Quiet difficult :).

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

Open Your mind

It's an OP from Ah! My Goddess! (aka. Ah! Megami-sama!). It's perform by Ishida Youko, the same singer who perform Shiawase no iro (I've review it in here). It's have some Old English nuance in it's music. Maybe they using a flute, but I don't know it sure. The only I know is, this song have a brass or woodwinds instrument as a quiet important element. And that's make it feel so England. Make me want to dancing when I hear this song :) .

OK, this is the video:
Video of this song

Compare this video with this one:

Video of "Shiawase no Iro"

Those video has been performed by one person, and they're so good. Yoko Ishida has some pure voice. It's pleasure me each hear her songs.
This is the lyrics for Open Your Heart:

fukai ao no sekai koete meguriau

tobitatsu toki wa kuru nosou dare demo

sora ga aoi...


My opinion:
Still like Shiawase no Iro, this song using much of "sora" word in its lyrics. It give me a strong feeling about this song. "Sora" or "Sky" describing how love is so wide, and we can see and cacth it wherever we live. Using "kaze" or "winds" is describing the power of love. Yeah, this song is a love song. Maybe it's a song that describing Beldandy's mind and feeling to Keiichi-san.

For me, this song is easy-listening and more cheerful. It's suite as an OP from Ah! My Goddess.
The lyrics is positive and encouraging us. It's a good song.

OK. That's all of my review now. Thanks for your attention. See ya next time! :)

(P.S: If you want to see the translate for this song, come to this blog. I respect the owner, so just go to the blog. I can't put it directly.)

Over The Sky, Last Exile ED.

It's soft song. I enjoy it. The melody flowing smooth. It make me comfort each hear it.

This is the lyrics:

My Opinion:

This song is Lavie's feeling. She's Claus' friend from they're children. I like the lyrics because it's describe her feeling. She want to be his partner, wherever he go, whenever he need. It's laike a confession about her feeling to Claus. That makes me think that maybe Lavie have a crush to Claus. She love him ;).

This song is some support expression. I think every man who get this confession will be happy, because they'll feel someone trust them. I'll feel that, too, if I'm in that position. But until now, I don't have anyone girl who can give me such this words (how poor myself T_T).

Well, don't mind it. Anyway, thanks to read this post. See ya next time ! :D

1 Litre of tears ED OST: "ONLY HUMAN"

"Only human" is an ending song from the famous dorama "1 litre of tears" (in Japanese, "1 rittoru no namida"). It's a sad song, both the music and the lyrics. But the lyrics make me realize how powerful this song. It's great, consider this song is an ED for such of that dorama. Here is the lyrics from this site:

Kanashimi no mukou kishi ni
Hohoemi ga aru toiu yo

Kanashimi no mukou kishi ni
Hohoemi ga aru to iu yo
Tadori tsuku sono saki ni wa
Nani ga bokura wo matteru?

Nigeru tame ja naku yume ou tame ni
Tabi ni deta hazusa tooi natsu no ano hi

Ashita sae mieta nara tame iki mo nai kedo
Nagare ni sakarau fune no you ni
Ima wa mae he susume

Kurushimi no tsukita basho ni
Shiawase ga matsu toiu yo
Boku wa mada sagashite iru
Kisetsu hazure no himawari

Kobushi nigirishime asahi wo mateba
Akai tsume ato ni namida kirari ochiru

Kodoku ni mo nareta nara
Tsuki akari tayori ni
Hane naki tsubasa de tobi tatou
Motto mae he susume

Amagumo ga kireta nara
Nureta michi kagayaku
Yami dake ga oshiete kureru
Tsuyoi tsuyoi hikari
Tsuyoku mae he susume

And this is the video:



Even this video was posted 2 years ago, this song is still fresh to my ears. I remember my sisters cried when they watched this dorama. That time this song is so touching, describe the whole story.

I've got the translated version from this site :

On the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile

On the opposite coast of sadness
is something called a smile
But before we can go there,
is there something we’re waiting for?

In order to chase our dreams, we can’t have a reason to run away
We’ve got to go, to that far away summer’s day

If we find it tomorrow, we can’t sigh
Because like a boat that opposes the stream
we have to walk straight on

In a place worn down by sadness
something called a miracle, is waiting
Yet we are still searching
for the sunflower that grows at the end of spring

The warrior who awaits the morning light
before he can clasp it with red nails, his tears glitter and fall

Even if we’ve grown used to loneliness
only relying on the light of the moon
We have to fly away with featherless wing
just go foward, just a little further

As the rainclouds break
the wet streets sparkling
Although it brings only darkness
A powerful, powerful light
helps push us to walk on

See? This song tells us to be positive even in a sadness condition. There's much words to revive our spirit. This song give us spirit to see tomorrow, when we afraid to do it.

OK, that's it! Thank's to read this song.
