Sexy Zone - Change the World

 

彼の日の空にかざした手のひらのその向こう
あなたが笑うから
ぶつかってカタチ変わって　見つけた個性
ありふれた日々に意味があったんだ

His hand reached out to even beyond the sky on that day^[1],
because you were smiling.
The individual personalities we discovered after clashing and changing our shapes.
shows there was meaning in those ordinary days.

モノクロ心　1116(いいいろ)に染めて　繋がったあの日から
わからなかった　転んでばっかで
カラフルな　花景色と　寄り添って　歩んで
きっと　あなたは何も言わずに
'笑って泣いたんだ'

Since that day we became connected, dying our monochrome hearts beautiful colours (1116)^[2],
knowing nothing, tripping over our feet constantly,
while walking through a colourful flower-lined path,
without having to say anything, of course,
"we laughed and we cried."

Hey！　想いよ届け Yeah！

光探してほら、あなたに出会えた
「君らしく」その言葉で　心の糸解けて
絡まった想いが　クリアになった

In this generation we were born in,
while looking for the light, hey, we were able to meet you.
With those words, "Just be yourself", the strings around our hearts became undone,
and our tangled thoughts became clear.

とにかくもう夢中で　重ねた10年　傷ついて傷つけて
背負い込んじゃって　投げ出したくて
咲かせた花たちはどこにあるのだろう？
夢のStage(場所)に何時か立つんだ
'枯れても咲いたんだ'

Being completely absorbed, 10 years have piled up, getting hurt and leaving wounds.
Being placed with burdens, wanting to throw it all away.
Where were the flowers that were supposed to bloom?
At what time will we stand on the stage (place) of our dreams?
"Even while withered, we bloomed." 

Hey！　想いよ届け Yeah！

roses bloomed.
Wow...Oh...

At "the top"
we climbed just to see,
this fully blooming
love will, truly, truly, truly,
on this path, that is unknown no more^[4],
Change the world.

Sexy Zone - 5TAGE

 ねぇ… この瞳に
幾千もの 光
笑顔 これからは
この手を離さないよ
不器用で ぎこちない
僕らが描くステージへ
今この5人で

Hey... within these eyes
are thousands of lights.
From now on our smiles
won't let go of these hands.
Clumsily and awkwardly,
we head towards the stage we've created.
Right now with the five of us here.

泣いて 笑って 届けるから
笑われたって あなたにだけ
咲いて 誇れ 夢に見たように
この声が 遠いどこかで
こだまする 未来を
枯れないよ いつまでも
回すんだろ? この手で この地球を

Crying and laughing, we'll reach you.
Only to you, even if we're being laughed at.
Blooming, with pride, as if we'd seen a dream,
this voice will travel somewhere far.
This echoing future,
without withering, how long will it go on
spinning? This earth within these hands.

ねぇ… 離れて
気づけた ぬくもりも
胸に それぞれの
道へ歩んだ あなた
いつかまた出逢うなら
僕らが描く”頂上”で
誰かの夢に…

Hey... in the distance,
we've noticed, this warmth
in our chests also comes from
the various paths you've walked.
If we could meet again,
let it be at the "top" we've imagined.
in someone's dreams...

「いつか、いつか…」
少年の夢が
一つ 二つ 合わさってく
今は 五つ 色を灯す
この声を 遠いどこかへ
響かせたい だから
枯れないで いつまでも
回すんだろ? この手で この地球を

"Someday, someday..."
The dreams of youth,
One, two, they fit together.
Now five colours are lit.
We want these voices to travel somewhere far,
echoing on, that's why
without withering, how long will it go on
spinning? This earth within these hands.

うまく笑えない日でも
どんな日々も
頷いてくれる
ただ背中押してくれる
あなたがそばにいた

Even on days when we couldn't bring up a smile,
no matter what sort of day,
bowing your heads,
pushing our backs,
you were always by our sides.

「最低… 最低…」 聞こえた夜
拳 握って 叩きつけた
今は この手 空っぽにして
いつだって マイク握るよ
大声で奏でよう!
その声聴かせて

On nights we'd hear, "the worst... the worst",
we would beat ourselves with fists.
Now these hand have opened up,
and are always holding onto the mic
While singing out loudly!
Hear this voice.

La…la…la… la…la…la…
うたを贈るよ
La…la…la… la…la…la…
胸を張って
La…la…la… la…la…la…
あいしてるよ
ありがとう ただありがとう
赤い薔薇に誓う
その棘が刺さろうとも
歩いていく あなたと この”未知”を

La…la…la… la…la…la…
We're sending this song to you.
La…la…la… la…la…la…
With our chests held high.
La…la…la… la…la…la…
We love you.
Thank you. Just, thank you.
On this red rose we promise,
even if the thorns pierce us,
we'll continue walking with you towards this "unknown".

泣いて笑って 一つになって
笑われたって もう構わない
もっともっと でっかく咲いて
この声が 遠いどこかの
泣きじゃくる あなたに
届くまで やめないよ
回すんだよ! この手で この地球を

Crying and laughing, we'll become one.
We won't care, even if we're being laughed at.
We'll bloom even bigger, more and more.
This voice will travel somewhere far.
To you, who is sobbing,
Until we reach you, we won't stop
Spinning! This earth within these hands.

とびきりの笑顔で

Hey, that's okay,
that's okay, that's okay.
No matter how you are, that's okay.
I'm sure tomorrow you'll definitely be able to smile,
Your finest smile.

素敵な友達の話より
君の事もっと　聞かせてほしい
少しネガティヴな口癖には
臆病な自分を隠してる

More than stories about your lovely friend,
I want to hear more about you.
Within your habit of saying slightly negative things,
you hide your frightened self. 

憧れで片づけてた
大切な恋も夢も
心が叫ぶまま　素直になれたら
歩き出す力になる

I noticed because I admired you.
If you could be honest,
and let your heart yell out
your most important passions and dreams,
it will become your strength to walk on.

ねぇ　それでいいよ
いいよ　いいよ
どんな君だって　それでいいよ
何個でも言えるくらい知ってる
君の素敵なとこ
僕の眼に映る
世界でたったひとつ輝く誇りだから
出かけよう顔上げて
いつも側にいるよ
まだ君が知らない
君に続いてく旅へ

Hey, that's okay.
that's okay, that's okay.
No matter how you are, that's okay.
There are so many lovely things I know about you
that I could say out loud.
Reflected in my eyes,
You're my one and only pride shining in this world.
Go out, hold your head up high.
I'll always be beside you.
Go forth on your next journey,
that you know nothing about yet.

嫌われたくない　気にしすぎて
ひとりでお風呂で泣いたりして
傷つかぬ為のニセモノなら
勇敢なホンモノが美しい

You're so worried about being disliked,
you've ended up crying alone in the bath.
If never getting hurt is just playing pretend,
then your real, brave, self is what's beautiful.

画面をのぞき込んでも
そこに現実(リアル)はないから
どこかの誰かじゃない　自分になれたら
またひとつ強くなれる

Even if you peek at the screen,
there's no reality there.
It's not about finding someone somewhere else, if you can just be yourself,
you'll become even stronger.

ねぇ　それでいいよ
いいよ　いいよ
間違いを恐れなくていいよ
本当は僕もとても不安で
孤独な夜もある
沢山の願い　隠さないで
全部ありのまま抱きしめたら
見慣れない街の空も
グッと好きになれる
離れてしまっても
君に届きますように

Hey, that's okay,
that's okay, that's okay.
You don't need to be afraid of making mistakes.
Truthfully, even I can get very anxious,
and have nights where I feel alone.
Don't hide your various desires.
If you just embrace them as they are,
you'll suddenly come to love
the sky of this town you're still not used to seeing.
Even when we're apart,
I hope I can reach you.

これからの出会いも
これまでの足跡も
色んな君を繋ぐよ

The meetings you will have,
The steps you have already taken.
They connect various "you's".

Hey, that's okay.
that's okay, that's okay.
No matter how you are, that's okay.
There are so many lovely things I know about you
that I could say out loud.
Reflected in my eyes,
You're my one and only pride shining in this world.
Go out, hold your head up high.
I'll always be beside you.
Go forth on your next journey,

I nearly translated the song title as "That's Enough", and that's because I personally feel like the full sentence of this song it's just telling someone that it's okay to be themselves, but that being who you are is also "enough". It's good enough. 

The reason I translated this song is because with Marius' graduation, it really made me think about how he cried during this song during POP x STEP and what he must've actually been going through during that time, to his hiatus, to now. Sometimes all we need to hear is someone telling us hey, it's okay to be yourself. It's enough to just be you. As Marius said in his own words, he lost himself a bit as he got older - which is understandable. He got crushed under the weight of expectations of others, and to know how much this song affected him is, I think, one of the rare glimpses we probably saw of how much he was probably struggling with himself for a while. 

I'm glad Marius is in a better place now though :)

(Translation Index: Here)

青い恋人 - Young Lovers*



夕焼けに映ってる　二つの影が
すれ違っている　君と僕の　精一杯の距離だね

Our two shadows emerging from the sunset,
reveal how hard we're trying to keep a distance.

一度だけ鳴って切れた　着信音に
慌てて飛び乗る　バスの中で　思い出すよ　夏の夜

On the bus I had jumped on in a panic,
the sound of my ringtone going off surprised me and made me remember that summer night.

街の灯を見下ろす　赤いテレビ塔
あの秘密の場所に　僕はまだ　鍵を掛けたくはないよ

That red TV tower lighting up the town,
I don't want to lock up that secret place yet.

繋いでいたはずの手と手が　音も立てず解(ほど)けてく
ごめんねの一言さえ　出てこない
「君を幸せにする」なんて　ちょっと茶化して言ったけど
伝えに行くよ　今度こそは、「愛してる。」と

Our hands which should have been together, suddenly fell apart without a sound,
and an apology just wouldn't come to my lips.
Jokingly, I told you "I'll make you happy"
but this time I'll let you know properly, "I love you".

真っ白なTシャツで　はしゃぐ砂浜
打ち寄せる波を　よけて遊ぶ　君の姿に恋した

I fell in love with the figure of you in a white shirt,
fooling around on the beach trying to avoid the waves.

帰り道少しだけ　遠回りした
隣でほほえむ　君がいれば　他に何も欲しくない

While heading home I'd take a bit of a detour,
because I don't want anything else when you were smiling beside me.

初めて手が触れて　伝わる温もり
この時間がずっと　続くよう　星空に願ってたよ

The warmth I felt the first times our hands touched,
it made me wish upon a star that this time would continue forever.

重ねてきた思い出たちが　胸の奥を締め付ける
はねた髪　大事な時笑う癖
素直になること出来なくて　つよがりばかりだったけど
今はこの手で　君を強く抱きしめたい

I've stored the many memories we've made deep inside my heart.
The way your hair would bounce when you'd laugh during special moments.
I struggle to be honest, and am always pretending to be strong,
but right now I just want to hold you tightly in my hands.

気付いたんだよ　僕以上　君は僕を　いつも愛してくれていた
これからも
君の代わりは誰にも　出来ない
お揃いの未来を　見つめていたいから

I've noticed you know. You always gave me more love than I gave you.
From now on
I'll never find someone to replace you,
Because I want to look for a future for the two of us.

止まっていた時計の針が　音を立てて動き出す
ごめんね今日まで少し　待たせたね
「君を幸せにする」なんて　ちょっと茶化して言ったけど
伝えに行くよ　今度こそは、「愛してる。」と

The hands on the clock that had been stopped before, suddenly start moving with a sound,
Up until this moment, I've made you wait a bit, sorry.
Jokingly, I told you "I'll make you happy"
but this time I'll let you know properly, "I love you".

Translation Notes:
*Young in this sense means along the lines of something being new/fresh/green.

My Brother's Husband [ENG softsubs]

Hello!

Fun story - I actually translated this drama way back when it first aired and then was much too lazy to do the timing for it when a very nice person amh1988 over at livejournal posted up pre-timed files over at Sub Sub Gakkou.

Which means I can now provide softsubs to you!

RULES: ...None. My name doesn't even appear on the subs. If you are going to re-translate or hardsub though, just give me a heads up ^_^.

Credits for timing go to amh1988@LJ who I'm also told moderates Ao no Michi (the subbing community). They'll also be uploading hardsubs of the drama (with my translations), so if you prefer that I'll provide a link to those as well when they pop up. 

The videos I used to time the file are from Nyaa torrents, but I think it's the same video file located in other places as well. 

Links
Otouto no Otto - soft subs [ep1-3]
Otouto no Otto - hardsubs (Ao no Michi)

---

By the way I really recommend this drama. It's super cute slice-of-life that touches on LGBTQ topics in one of the best ways - by just encouraging open-mindedness and the mindblowing concept that gay people are just.... regular people???!! WHAT.

But no, seriously, it's lovely. It revolves around Yaichi, his daughter Kana, and Mike, the husband to Yaichi's late brother Ryoji. It's super cute because it shows Kana's complete openness to Mike being gay which is adorable and really runs home the fact that children really don't care about sexual orientation - they're taught to discriminate, but if you just present being gay to them as something that just is, it won't be a big deal! It also deals with Yaichi who is an adult and has clearly struggled with the idea of his twin brother being gay, and how he slowly comes to accept and realize that it doesn't make a different either - that Ryoji was and will always have been his brother, and Mike is now his brother-in-law and that they're a family, gay uncle or not. The supporting cast and how they react to Mike is also really great.

It's just such a nice and heartwarming way to give representation. Check it out!

99.9~Keijisenmon Bengoshi~ sII [Episode 6 Extra Notes]

And we are back with episode 6! Episode 7 is also on it's way and I am still in the process of translating episode 8, so, steady progress guys. Steady progress. I hope everyone is still enjoying the drama and I have a bunch of translation notes for this episode this time around so stick around if you found some of Miyama's jokes really confusing.

99.9~Keijisenmon Bengoshi~ sII [Episode 5 Extra Notes]

Episode 5 released! Episode 6 is being timed and I'm also steadily working on episode 7. I know I'm taking a long time with these and I apologize, but I thank everyone for their patience! And now, without further ado - some extra info about episode 5!

99.9~Keijisenmon Bengoshi~ sII [Episode 4 Extra Notes]

Hello. I'm back from school hell with episode 4! Here are some extra notes for the episode.

99.9~Keijisenmon Bengoshi~ sII [Episode 2 Extra Notes]

And I'm back with episode 2 (again, sorry for the wait). This episode also came jam-packed with a lot of little cute details so here I am to explain some of them to you. Also, the puns in this episode were kind of difficult to work through, so I'm going to be explaining some of my translation choices in this post too for anyone who is interested.

Episode 2

1. Madarame's Office!

The flower in Madarame's office are from clients we saw in season 1 who Miyama helped out. There are flowers from MaxV (episode 1), Kikuchi Akio (episode 4), and Orogon Hobby (episode 7).

99.9~Keijisenmon Bengoshi~ sII [Episode 1 Extra notes]

Hello! I've finally released episode 1! I'm sorry for the wait. If I knew it was going to take so long, I would not have created the subtitle post so quickly. I overestimated myself, I'm sorry!

But, episode 1 was released and I hope you've noticed that the font has changed and looks nicer (in my opinion). Timing credits go to Goshiki no Fansub. Again, if there is anything weird, please let me know.

Also, if there is anything that I did not make a translator note of that you would like clarified/explained, leave me a comment and I will add it to this post. Thanks!

嵐 - Sugar

You've got me feeling now, baby
You've got me on my knees, baby
Put it down on me

素気(すげ)無い言葉と裏腹のKissに　きっと深い意味はない
饒舌(じょうぜつ)な言い訳を嫌う君に　抗(あらが)えぬ　Only lonely love

There is definitely no deeper meaning behind your cold words, yet contradictory kiss.
I won't fight against you, who hates such long-winded excuses, there's only lonely love.

月明かり　君は素敵に纏(まと)って　悔しいくらい上手に笑う
何もかも幻だよ、みたいに　嘯(うそぶ)いたその瞳が愛しいんだ

In the moonlight you were dressed so beautifully, and laughed so good it hurt.
Those eyes which seemed to deem everything an illusion, I loved them.

物憂げなUpturned eyes　蔑(さげす)みのCold eyes
翻弄されればされるほど　No way out
君の渦　飲まれてく　Prisoner
There's nothing I can do

Those sombre upturned eyes, and those scornful cold eyes,
The more you toyed around with me, the more there was no way out.
I'm a prisoner, being swallowed up by your vortex.
There's nothing I can do

だから　その指で　唇でSugar　刹那の夢でいい　さあ　もう一度
壊れるほど抱きしめてMy love　言葉はいらない　C'mon
Fall into your trap, fall into your trap　構いやしない
Nothing but a loser　戻れなくたって
甘い香りに誘われるまま　理性溶かしてくよ　Sugar

That's why with those fingers and those lips let's create Sugar. It's fine just as a fleeting dream, come on let's do it one more time.
I'll hold you until I break, my love, we don't need any words, c'mon.
Fall into your trap, fall into your trap, I don't even care.
Nothing but a loser, I can't go back.
As your sweet scent invites me, my reasoning melts away, Sugar.

形ある物などもう要らないって　ちょっと寂しげなSigh
手に光る指輪を眺めては　弄(もてあそ)ぶ
Only lonely, lonely, lonely love

You said you don't need anything solid anymore with a slightly lonely sigh.
Staring at the sparkling ring on your finger, you were just playing around.
Only lonely, lonely, lonely love

剌すようなPrivate eyes　それさえもFeel so nice
まるで心まで見透かされるよう
いっそ強く焼き付けて　Flashback
So gimme one more kiss

Even with those piercing private eyes, it feels so nice.
It's like you are seeing through right into my heart.
I'd rather this be burned strongly into your memories as a flashback,
So gimme one more kiss.

そうさ　その吐息で　眼差しでSugar　目眩(めくるめ)くような時をもう一度
身体中駆け巡るMy love　衝動が止まらない　C'mon
I'm a fool for your lies, I'm a fool for your lies　今はまだ
Don't stop my feeling　終わりにしないで
成す術もない哀れな僕を　嘲笑(あざわら)ってくれよ　Sugar

That's right, with that sigh and that gaze let's create Sugar, let's have one more dazzling moment.
Coursing through my body is my love, my desires can't be stopped, c'mon.
I'm a fool for your lies, I'm a fool for your lies, not just yet.
Don't stop my feeling, don't let this be the end.
A pitiful guy like me with no ability to grow, please ridicule me, Sugar.

明日のことなんて　Forget now
そう　分かってるのは　もうすぐ今日が　終わるってことだけさ
「いつかは2人も　星屑になるの」
そんな駆け引きは　月と太陽に預けて　ただ僕を見つめて

The things about tomorrow, just forget now.
That's right, all we need to understand is that soon, today is going to end.
"When will the two of us become stardust?"
We'll leave those sorts of dealings with the moon and sun, just look at me.

だから　その指で　唇でSugar　刹那の夢でいい　さあ　もう一度
壊れるほど抱きしめてMy love　言葉は要らない　C'mon
Fall into your trap. fall into your trap　構いやしない
Nothing but a loser　戻れなくたって
甘い香りに誘われるまま　理性溶かしてくよ　Sugar

That's why, with those fingers and those lips let's create Sugar. It's fine just as a fleeting dream, come on let's do it one more time.
I'll hold you until I break, my love, we don't need any words, c'mon.
Fall into your trap, fall into your trap, I don't even care.
Nothing but a loser, I can't go back.
As your sweet scent invites me, my reasoning melts away, Sugar.

Hey heah um Here we go
Clap Clap Clap Clap Let me feel your heart beat
Clap Clap Clap Clap

Grind　揺らぐ予感　導くMidnight secret
もう待てない　Countin' down
コトバより　ほらカラダでSeek
あまく　擦れた香り　誘うがまま
滴る汗さえも　気にしない　Try to find
甘美なShape　哂してよ
オーバーヒート寸前の　欲望のパノラマ

Grind, wavering feelings guiding midnight secrets,
I can't wait any longer, Countin' down.
Rather than with words, come on, let's seek with our bodies
This scent gently washing over me, how inviting.
Without even a care to the dripping sweat, try to find,
Your sweet shape is being exposed,
in a panorama of lust that appears just before I overheat.

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Just begin
沈黙消した　First touch
まさにShut down　秩序やルール
上書きさせてよ Wanna make you mine

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Just begin
Our first touch which erased the silence,
A perfect shut down of orders and rules.
Let me overwrite them, wanna make you mine.

夜の隙間に　踊ろう　Hurry！ Hurry！
Oh girl 0h girl Can't stop me now
ただイタズラに　過ぎ去ってく　瞬間(いま)なら
確かめ合おう　Physically
Neon の Lightが　奏でたFascinate
溶けてく　ふたつのシルエット
そうさ　Easy Easy　かなり大胆に
No more　キミを感じたいよ

In the cracks of night, let's dance, hurry! Hurry!
Oh girl, oh girl, can't stop me now.
With just our flirting we've gone too far, now.
Let's check each other, physically
The neon lights play, they fascinate,
Our two silhouettes melted.
That's right, easy, easy, so boldly,
No more, I want to feel you.

Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap You and I
Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Clap Here we go

Sleep　浅い眠り　繰り返すよりは
何度でも　その海で彷徨っていたい　鼓動も濡らして

Sleep, rather than constantly having these shallow rests,
I want to roam these oceans endlessly, soaking in the beats.

Drop Drop Drop Drop Drop Drop Just begin
雫の音(ね)　Surround して
ローラーコースターみたいにFallin'
逆さまで　ふたり Wanna know you

Drop Drop Drop Drop Drop Drop Just begin
The sound of dripping water surrounds us,
And we're fallin' like a roller coaster.
The two of us are upside down, wanna know you.

続くセメギアイ　もっと　Diggin'！ Diggin'！
Oh girl 0h girl Can't stop you now
でもウラハラに　愛(いと)しさも溢れて
アンバランスなMy heart and soul
息もできないほど　限界までPassionate
1秒1秒がIn fact
もっと Gimme Gimme　Kissの合図に
どんどん　アツくNegotiation

Continuing to fight each other, more, diggin'! Diggin'!
Oh girl, oh girl, can't stop you now.
But behind all that my love is also overflowing,
My unbalanced heart and soul.
Until we can't even breath, we're passionate to the limits.
Each second by second are in fact.
More, gimme gimme, at the signal of a kiss,
this negotiation gets more and more heated.

強く抱いても　満たされはしない
Can't get enough
意識の向こうで　空回りして　Time is up
ささやく唇　幾度　奪えど
Can't get enough
見え隠れする　微かな戸惑いも Precious
あと少しそばで…

No matter how strongly I embrace you, I won't be satisfied.
Can't get enough,
Beyond my awareness I'm just idling, time is up.
Your whispering lips, how many times have they been snatched away,
Can't get enough,
Appearing and disappearing, this slight confusion is also precious.
Just a little bit more beside your side...

夜の隙間に　踊ろう　Hurry！ Hurry！
Oh girl 0h girl Can't stop me now
ただイタズラに　過ぎ去ってく　瞬間(いま)なら
確かめ合おう　Physically

松本潤 - Baby Blue

Oh Baby blue 泣き出しそうな空が見てる どんなことだって全て知ってる
出会いと別れを繰り返しながら 回り続けてる

Oh Baby blue, the sky is overflowing with tears while looking down on you, knowing everything there is to know.
Going over our many meetings and farewells, again and again and again.

Everywhere 笑顔は消えはしない
Oh my life だからひとつひとつ瞳に 焼き付けよう

Every day, many things happen, but
Everywhere there are countless smiles that will never disappear

光と影が寄り添い合いながら 世界はできてる

Oh Baby blue, the wetter my cheeks become the more I begin to understand the beauty of flowers.
As light and shadow meld together, the world is created.

Every day, I pass the nights all alone.
Everywhere, I want to dream of tomorrow.

Maybe true 今はさよなら 見上げれば変わらぬ空

Oh Baby blue, to my beloved, until the day we can meet again

Goodbye, tears.

君に繋がっているから 歩き続けよう Oh

嵐 - 復活LOVE [Eng translation]

(Translation Index: Here) 

復活LOVE - Reviving Love

横殴りの雨の中　この部屋を飛び出した君は
二人の愛を試すみたいに　さよならさえも言わないまま
永すぎた春に　別れを告げた
あの日からずっと　僕はまるで抜け殻さ

You ran out of this room in the pouring rain,
As if testing our love, without saying a word of goodbye.
This announced the end to our everlasting spring.
and ever since that day, I have become but a shell of my previous self.

Baby, don't you go　行かないで！　叫んでも　聞こえない
君は乗せた taxi が　水しぶきあげ遠ざかる
Never leave me here　哀しみに　崩れてゆく　一人きり
見失って恋人を諦めきれないのさ　まだ
どんなことがあっても　待ち続けるよ　僕は　
「I miss you」

Baby, don't you go, don't go! Even though I'm yelling this, you can't hear me.
The taxi you stepped in to left behind a spray of rain as it took you further away.
Never leave me here, I'm broken by my grief, all alone.
I won't give up on my beloved, just because I've lost sight of them.
I'll continue to wait for you, no matter what happens.
"I miss you"

二人でいられるだけで　足りないものなどはないと
思い込んでは君の淋しさ　知らずにいたこと悔やむだけ
言葉に出したら　壊れてしまう
そんな危うさ　きっと君は気づいてた

I believed that if it was just the two of us, there would be nothing else we'd need
But these thoughts led to your loneliness, and I can only regret not having noticed sooner.
If you had voiced this out, everything would have fallen apart.
And you had surely realized how dangerous that would have been.

Baby, where are you?　 どこにいる？　メールさえも　届かない
優しさに甘えすぎた　僕を許して　ごめんね
Come back to my heart　お願いさ　今すぐにも　会いたいよ
その胸に寄り添いながら　眠りにつける日々を
取り戻せるのならば　他に何もいらないさ

Baby, where are you? Where are you? Not even my texts are reaching you.
Please forgive me for being so spoiled by your kindness, I'm sorry.
Come back to my heart, I'm begging you. If I could, I wish I could see you right now.
If I could return to those days, where I slept nestled close to your heart
Then, I wouldn't need anything else.

ある晴れた　月の満ちる夜
微笑み浮かべて　舞い戻った angel
長い孤独の果てから　たどり着いた　この場所へ

During a clear night with a full moon
Wearing a gentle smile, my angel returned to me.
At the ends of my long period of loneliness, you've finally returned back to this place.

Baby, welcome back　おかえりと　抱きしめた　僕の瞳に
溢れる涙　懐かしい唇で受け止めて
Never let you go　もう二度と　離れないと　誓い合う
愛が再び蘇る愛しいこの瞬間
二人で探し当てた　本当の宝物さ
朝の光の中で　僕らはひとつになる

Baby, welcome back. Welcoming you back, I hold you tightly,
and your lips which I've missed so much catch the tears which have spilled down my face.
Never let you go, I promise we'll never be apart again.
This cherished moment in which our love is rekindled,
Is the true treasure that we've been searching for.
And in to the morning light, we become one.

"My love, 離さないよ"

"My love, I'll never let you go"

「おかえり」

"Welcome home"

嵐 - Unknown

満ちてゆくNight　捉えようもない
我儘だけどほら　持て余した想い
(Oh-Oh　飾らないで　Oh-Oh　手渡すから)
意外そうなFace　こぼれ出すWord
嘘でも本当でも構いやしないさ
(Oh-Oh　確かな温度)　伝わってるから

The night is coming to an end, with no way to keep a hold of it
It's selfish but hey, these feelings just couldn't be controlled.
(Oh-Oh, don't put up a front, Oh-Oh, because I'll hand it over myself)
An unexpected face, a word that spills out,
It doesn't matter whether it's the truth or a lie,
(Oh-Oh, the exact degree) because it's understood anyway.

静かに打つ鼓動…
ふたりだけ分かる　色づき始めた合図
どこに辿り着くだろう…
カタチを失くして　ずっと向こうで　囁いてる愛へ

My pulse beats silently...
A signal that only the two of us understand, begins to change colours.
Where will things end up, I wonder...
Having lost it's shape, off into the distance, to our murmuring love.

決して叶わぬ夢　甘美にして
またリピートしてるRhythmが
Feeling inside, Feeling inside, Oh-Oh…　そのまま
まるで世界中に忘れられている
今夜だけの鍵を探そう
Feeling inside, Feeling inside, Oh-Oh…　ここから

This rhythm that's still repeating,
Turning a dream that will never be fulfilled, into something sweet.
Feeling inside, feeling inside, oh-oh... just like that.
Let's search for a key that's only for tonight,
which the entire world seems to have forgotten about.

触れてるだけ　崩れそうなTime
空白に今　何を描いてくだろう？
(Oh-Oh　委ねてBaby　Oh-Oh　見つかるまで)
ちっぽけなHeart　寄り添ったBeat
手探り　少しずつ優しさ重ねた
(Oh-Oh　溶け出す空気)　もうこのまま　包み込んで

Time, which seems like it will break with just a touch,
Right now, in this empty space, what will be drawn?
(Oh-oh, devoting myself baby, oh-oh, until I find it)
This tiny heart, a beat that comes ever closer,
Fumbling, bit by bit, a gentleness builds up.
(Oh-Oh, dissolving air) wrapping us up, just as we are.

I wanna feel you baby　脆く儚く
エゴイスティックなほど輝いて
深く迷い込んでゆくよ

I wanna feel you baby, fragile, fleeting,
Shining almost egotistically,
While deeply lost.

何を語っているの　その視線いま
理解しているようで　すれ違う
Feeling inside, Feeling inside, Oh-Oh…　そのまま
身体中巡ってる　このRhythmを
なくさないで今日の匂いを
Feeling inside, Feeling inside, Oh-Oh…　ここから

That look just now, what is it saying?
We disagreed while pretending to understand.
Feeling inside, feeling inside, oh-oh... just like that,
This rhythm, circulating throughout my body,
The smell of today that I don't want to lose.

浮ついた言葉なんて仕舞って
まだ知らない宇宙へ
Feeling inside, Feeling inside, Oh-Oh…　yeah
時の隙間に入り込んだみたいに
静寂へと　そうEscape
見えないモノ　見えないままで…

To end on such fickle words,
Heading into a universe we still know nothing about,
Feeling inside, feeling inside, oh-oh...yeah.
It's like we've stepped into a gap in time,
Escaping into the stillness
Until we're finally unable to see the things which cannot be seen.

明けゆく空もまだ
靄の中
果て見えぬ洞穴
こだま
散らかるモラルの殼
no matter
ah 保たない…

The dawning sky is once again,
covered in a haze,
This cave which we can't see the end of,
echoes,
with the remnants of our scattered morals.
No matter.
Ah, it won't last.

疼ぐのカラダが　未だ貴方が
何も変わらない　何も分からない
一つ定かな　あからさまなsaga
はなから　叶わないの我儘

This aching body, even now, you
haven't changed at all, and still don't understand anything at all.
One thing that is for sure, this straightforward saga,
from start to end, cannot bear such selfishness.

浮ついた言葉なんて仕舞って
まだ知らない宇宙へ
Feeling inside, Feeling inside, Oh-Oh…　yeah
時の隙間に入り込んだみたいに
静寂へと　そうEscape
見えないモノ　見えないままで…

To end on such fickle words,
Heading into a universe we still know nothing about,
Feeling inside, feeling inside, oh-oh...yeah.
It's like we've stepped into a gap in time,
Escaping into the stillness
Until we're finally unable to see the things which cannot be seen.

大野智 - 暁

(Translation Index: Here)

大野智 - 暁 (Akatsuki)

ふと見上げ　おぼろ月浮かんだ　夜に
可憐に咲いた　花よ
時代が　流れ流れても
遠く　時を超えて　運んでゆく　あなたの元へ

Casually, I looked up at the moon  hanging dimly in the night sky
Like a flower that has bloomed, oh so sweetly
Even as time flows on and on
From far away, overcoming time itself, I'll make my way to your side

離れてく　千切れ雲
追いかけて　さざ波
触れずとも　魅せられて
儚き　影の中で

The scattered clouds have drifted away
The ripples are scattering to catch up
And without even needing to touch you, I am enchanted
Into those fleeting shadows

風　いたずらに　吹き抜けて　水面に
浮かぶ空　掻き乱してゆく
移ろう　（時を）　願う
手を伸ばしても　ただ　溢れるだけ

The wind aimlessly blows upon the water's surface
Disturbing the reflection of the sky drowning within it
I wish (that time) would move on
But even when I stretch out my hands, it simply floods past me

もう　来ぬ人を　待つような　想いで
過ぎてゆく　あてもなき夜
心　（消えぬ）　景色　汚れなき　微笑みに

Feeling as though I am waiting for someone who will never arrive
I pass these aimless nights
And in my heart is a scenery (that won't disappear), giving me a smile not marred by anything

「心にも　あらで憂き世に　長らへば．．．」
知らぬはずの　燃えるように　鮮やかに　輝いて　

"Even if I do not wish to, if I must remain within this bleak world..."
I shouldn't have know about it, but there it is shining so brightly, like it's burning

暁に　胸の中
叩く音　とまどい
夢の中　近くとも
どんなに　遠きことか

As dawn enters into my heart
I am troubled by a throbbing sound
Although you are close to me in my dreams
How far am I away from you in reality?

今　映し出す　離れない　記憶は
叶わない　約束としても
深く　（響き）　渡り
身を尽くして　ただ　羽ばたいてく

These memories appearing in my mind that I can't be rid of
Act like a promise I will not be able to fulfill
(Echoing) deeply inside me
Simply flapping their wings to the point of exhaustion

そう　舞い落ちる　花びらは　夢想の
彼方へと　呼び覚ましゆく
出逢い　（深い）　調べ　ざわついた　隙間にも

The petals that have fluttered down
Call for you, who are in my dreams, to wake up
Meeting, creating (profound) music, stirring up the spaces in my heart

「心にも　あらで憂き世に　長らへば．．．」
追えど見えぬ　掻き分けて　雲の間に　輝いて

"Even if I do not wish to, if I must remain within this bleak world..."
I chase it without seeing it. Pushing it's way through, it shines brightly between the spaces within the clouds.

「心にも　あらで憂き世に　長らへば　恋しかるべき　夜半の月かな」

"Even if I do not wish to, if I must remain within this bleak world I will yearn for the moon hanging in the midnight sky"[*]

[*] - this line is actually a poem from part of the "百人一首" (Ogura Hyakunin Isshu), a collection of 100 poems written by 100 poets, and is central to the card game karuta. 

----Translators Notes---

I don't usually make comments but this song is actually just so beautiful lyrically and very poetic--so much so that I think I actually need to explain a few things and my translation choices.

I don't think I did justice translating the poem itself, and thus the rest of the song, but I also didn't like any of the translations I found online. The idea behind the poem though seems to be that if the person must continue living in their present reality against their wishes, what they will find solace in, is the beauty of the moon.

And this song--Akatsuki--reflects the sentiments of the poem almost perfectly. The subject of this song is also taking about their longing for the moon and to be close to it. Also there is a line up there "I wish that time would move on" - and this reflects the part of the poem that expresses having to remain in the world against the persons wishes. In the song, "wishing that time would move on" implies a notion of change as time moves on---so not just time passing, but time changing and ultimately (I assume) for time to bring this persons death. But the next line "even when I stretch out my hand..." shows that despite the subjects wishes, time just continues moving on but not affecting him.

In fact--the fact that the song itself is named Dawn just makes so much sense because this is the moment when the moon begins to disappear. So the subject tries to chase the moon as it it outshone by the sun, despite not being able to see it--but you know how you can see the moon sometimes on a clear day? So the moon shines through regardless, even when it should have disappeared with the morning light.

Blargh, I honestly hated analyzing poems but man, this song just... I don't know, it strikes a chord in me. My English tutor would probably have tears in her eyes if I told her this xD.
