Hooked on it~

I'm tottally hooked on this song now.. Love Chronicle from the anime Full Moon wo Sagashite (it's on my Jukebox if u didn't notice)

Original / Romaji Lyrics
naze darou   koi no shikata sae sukkari wasureteta
deai wa itsuka kuru wakare no hajimari to
itsu no manika kimetsukete ita

yogoreta SUNIIKAA no hodoketa himo musunde kureta
hanikamu anata no egao asahi o abite TOKIMEIta kyuu ni

aisareta ikara aishiti wake jyanai
massugu aisuru yuuki o kureta ne

kore kara no tabi ni futari ima chikau yo
nani ga atte mo kono te hanasanai zutto

fushigi da ne itsumo no keshiki mo tokubetsu ni miete kuru
hana ya tori ya umikaze yama amai taiyou
subete kagayaki yorisou naka

tokenai JIGUSOU no saigo no PIISU mitsuketa yo
ooki na anata no senaka watashi mamorare tsuite yuku eien ni

ima made konna ni mawarimichi shita kedo
massugu aisuru jishin o moteta ne

asu kara no yume ni futari ima mukau yo
nani ga atte mo hitomi sorasanai

aisareta ikara aishitai wake jyanai
massugu aisuru yuuki o kureta ne

asu kara no yume ni futari ima yukau yo
nani ga atte mo hitomi sorasanai

aisareta ikara aishitai wake jyanai
massugu aisuru yuuki o kureta ne

kore kara no tabi ni futari ima chikau yo
nani ga atte mo kono te hanasanai zutto

English Translation

why? I've completely forgotten how to love
meetings will come someday with the beginning of parting
somehow, I have decided upon that idea

you tied my loose shoe laces of my dirty sneakers
your shy smile suddenly shone in the sunlight

it's not that I love for want of love
you gave me the courage to love straight-forward

the two swear to the journey from now
that no matter what occurs, the two hands will never part

it's weird, the everyday landscape begin to seem special
the flowers, birds, and sea the wind, mountains, sweet sun
when everything shines and cuddles together

I found the last piece to the unsolvable jigsaw puzzle
your broad back protects me and I'll continue to follow you
for eternity

until now, I've took the longer way around but
I'm finally able to love straight-forward

the two will head to the dream of tomorrow
no matter what occurs, the gaze won't be shifted

it's not that I love for want of love
you gave me the courage to love straight-forward

the two will head to the dream of tomorrow
no matter what occurs, the gaze won't be shifted

it's not that I love for want of love
you gave me the courage to love straight-forward

the two swear to the journey from now
that no matter what occurs, the two hands will never part

俺色スカイ (Me-coloured sky)

(It is recommended to play the 6th song on the jukebox on the right when reading this)

Most contemporary songs nowadays are usually about love or life. How many times have you heard songs dedicated to the stars? FYI, "twinkle, twinkle little star" is not considered a contemporary song.

This is another of Radwimps' song. I just love the lyrics written by the lead singer! This time, I will type the Roman characters under the Japanese characters, and the English translation will be at the bottom.

こんなに晴れた空もいつか必ず この世界の悲しさにもう耐えられず
Konna ni hareta sora mo itsuka kanarazu Kono sekai no kanashisa ni mou taerarezu
身を焦がし 夕焼けと化し それ見上げ涙流し
Mi wo kogashi Yuuyake to kashi Sore miage namida nagashi
俺は思い出す あの人思い出す
Ore wa omoidasu Ano hito omoidasu

この空は今日も俺を見つめてた 言葉よりデカイ何かで俺を慰めてた
Kono sora wa kyou mo ore wo mitsumeteta Kotoba yori dekai nani ka de ore wo nagusameteta
悲しい人が多ければ多いほど その日は美しい夕焼けが燃えていた
Kanashii hito ga ookereba ooi hodo Sono hi wa utsukushii yuuyake ga moeteita

だからね 一人夕焼けにね
Dakarane hitori yuuyake ni ne
「お前キレイだなぁ」って 言ってみたりすると
"Omae kirei da naa" tte itte mitari suru to
どこかで胸がぎゅっとなって泣けたりするの
Dokokade mune ga gyuu tto natte naketari suru no

PLEASE,PLEASE BE WITH ME FOREVER
俺が明日なんか来るなよと願っても 嫌がっても
Ore ga ashita nanka kuruna yo to negattemo iyagattemo
SHINE,SHINE FOR ME PLEASE WILL YOU?
あいも変わらずに朝日を照らしてよ 明日を呼んでよ
Ai mo kawarazu ni asahi wo terashiteyo ashita wo yondeyo

夜空を見ると なぜなんだろう 寂しくも嬉しくも思えたりするの
Yozora wo miru to naze nan darou sabishiku mo ureshikumo omoetari suru no
きっとあれかなぁ 人ってやつはさ
Kitto are kanaa hitotte yatsu wa sa
無限の空の中 自分の心を見るのかなぁ
Mugen no sora no naka jibun no kokoro wo miru no kanaa

人はいつか消える一瞬の光 だから闇を怖れ 光を生み 
Hito wa itsuka kieru isshun no hikari dakara yami wo osore hikari wo umi
星を消したの だけどさ
Hoshi wo keshita no dakedo sa
なぜだか 星よどこに行った?って
Naze da ka hoshi yo doko ni itta?tte
夜になればその足跡探してみたりした
Yoru ni nareba sono ashiato sagashite mitari shita

だからね 俺はいつもね 消えた星たちの居場所 天国が
Dakara ne ore wa itsumo ne kieta hoshitachi no ibasho tengoku ga
あの空の上にあると信じてるの
Ano sora no ue ni aru to shinjiteru no

PLEASE,PLEASE BE WITH ME FOREVER
俺が寂しい時ばかりさ 甘えちゃって ごめんな
Ore ga sabishii toki bakari sa amaechatte gomen na
SHINE,SHINE FOR ME PLEASE WILL YOU?
俺が嬉しい時もお前見てくれてるの 知ってるよ
Ore ga ureshii toki mo omae mite kureteruno shitteru yo

ダチと飲んで帰るそんな朝は ロマンチストなんだ空は
Dachi to nonde kaeru sonna asa wa romanchisto nanda sora wa
俺らのための朝焼けをプレゼントしてくれる
Orera no tame no asayake wo purezento shite kureru
「ずっと友達でいようね」なんて照れくさい言葉でさえ言えちゃうの
"Zutto tomodachi de iyou ne"nante terekusai kotoba de sae iechau no
すると もっと空は笑うの
Suru to motto sora wa warau no

PLEASE PLEASE
BE WITH ME
笑ってたいね
Warattetai neeee

いつか 時が流れ星が いなくなった時は
Itsuka toki ga nagareboshi ga inakunatta toki wa
人は”when you wish upon a star”
Hito wa "when you wish upon a star"
そんな言葉もみんな忘れてしまうの?そうなの?
Sonna kotoba mo minna wasurete shimau no? Sou nano?

PLEASE,PLEASE BE WITH ME FOREVER
SHINE,SHINE FOR ME PLEASE WILL YOU?

振られて帰るそんな夜は センチメンタリスト空は
Furarete kaeru sonna yoru wa senchimentaristo Sora wa
俺に満天の星空をプレゼントしてくれる
Ore ni manten no hoshizora wo purezento shite kureru

まるで俺にドンマイ 星の数ほどいるんだい
Maru de ore ni don mai Hoshi no kazu hodo irun dai
女なんてさ って言ってるみたいでさ
Onna nante sa tte itteru mitai de sa

手つないで見た朧月も 全て流してくれた雨も
Te tsunaide mita oborozuki mo subete nagashite kureta ame mo
今思えば俺見ていてくれたんだな
Ima omoeba ore miteite kuretan da na
俺を見ててくれよな ずっと見ててくれよな
Ore wo mitete kure yo na zutto mitete kure yo na
いつか 俺にお前が見えなくなっても
Itsuka ore ni omae ga mienakunatte mo

PLEASE,PLEASE BE WITH ME FOREVER

English translation

Such a clear sky would surely one day Lose patience with this world's sadness
Burning itself up, turning into an evening glow, and looking at that, crying.
I remember, that person remembers.

This sky stared at me again today Comforting me with something larger than words
The more sad people there are, on that day a beautiful sunset burns in the sky

So, alone, facing the sunset
saying "You are so pretty"
You feel your heart squeezing, and you could cry

Please, please be with me forever
Even if I wished that tomorrow never comes, hating it
Shine, shine for me please will you?
Please make the morning sun shine as always. Call the morning sun

Whenever I look at the night sky, I don't know why but I would feel lonely and happy at the same time
It must be that, people..
In the infinite sky, they see their own hearts.

People are instances of light which would die out some day. So, they fear the dark and gave birth to light
They have shut out the stars. But,
Somehow we ask the stars where they have gone
When the night comes, I searched for those tracks

That is why, I always (believe that on top of those skies,) Heaven is the place where the vanished stars are.

Please, please be with me forever
Sorry for always depending on you only when I am lonely
I know that even when I am happy, you look at me.

On mornings going back after drinking with friends, The sky is romantic
Giving the morning glow for us as a present.
It makes you say even embarrasing things like "Let's always be friends"
And when you do that, the sky smiles wider

Please please
Be with me
It makes you want to laugh

Someday when time and shooting stars pass away,
Will people (forget even words like) "when you wish upon a star"
Would they really?

Please, please be with me forever
Shine, shine for me please will you?

On nights going back after being rejected, the sentimental sky
gives me a star-filled sky as a present

As if (telling me) Don't mind, there are as many as the stars
Girls are.

The hazy moon we saw while holding hands, and all the rain poured too
When I think of it now, I realize you were always looking at me
Do look at me all the time, Do look at me forever
Even when I can't see you anymore someday

Please, please be with me forever

Japanese Avril?


Have you ever listened to your music player on shuffle mode and suddenly the next song sounds exactly like the last one and yet totally different? These two songs are absolutely different songs with different lyrics and different Languages! But you will notice immediately that the music and tune is strikingly similar. Of course there are a lot of Chinese-dubbed English songs and English-dubbed Chinese songs, but this is different! The titles and lyrics have so much difference.

5th single
「桜キッス」"Sakura Kiss"
Kawabe Chieco
2006.04.26 OUT
JPop News

Girlfriend (2007/3/21) Avril Lavigne Wiki Japan
From this fact, it is a high probability that Avril somehow listened to the Jap song and thought of a song with the same tune. But Avril listening to a JPop song?? How ridiculous is that?

On May 25, 2007, Lavigne, her co-songwriter Lukasz Gottwald, and her record label were sued by songwriters James Gangwer and Tommy Dunbar over claims that her song "Girlfriend" infringes on their 1979 song "I Wanna Be Your Boyfriend", originally performed by The Rubinoos.[30]
Wikipedia
And here, if Avril actually did listen to Sakura Kiss, her claim that she had "never heard the song in her life" would be irrefutable. Well, that would mean trespass of Kawabe Chieco's copyright however.

If it is true that Avril never heard both songs, then it would be very astonishing that 3 people could come to the exact same music and tune with different lyrics.

Is the world small or what?

In June 2007, Canadian singer-songwriter Chantal Kreviazuk, with whom Lavigne wrote the majority of her second album, Under My Skin, spoke to Performing Songwriter magazine about Lavigne's songwriting, saying, "I mean, Avril, songwriter? Avril doesn't really sit and write songs by herself or anything. Avril will also cross the ethical line and no one says anything. That's why I'll never work with her again. I sent her a song two years ago called 'Contagious', and I just saw the tracklisting to this album and there's a song called 'Contagious' on it – and my name's not on it. What do you do with that? See, I won't [call the lawyers], I'll just tell you. Art should not be subject to that kind of controversy."
Wikipedia

Or is the world just full of desperate people? ^^;
Truthfully, Avril's third album "The Best Damn Thing" didn't have as many good songs as her last two. It was a bit disappointing.

祈跡(Kiseki) A Prayer



This is Radwimp's single which was released in 2004 and used in the Houtai Club(which Satomi Ishihara starred in..^^) movie trailer last year.

オリコン調べのインディーズシングルトップ20のチャートで、2007年現在でもトップ20入りしている。
Wiki
On the Oricon Indies Singles Top 20s Chart, in 2007 it was still in the top 20s.

And here's the lyric in full Roman Characters

Today six billions of people are breathing, feeling, and living
Today fifty hundreds of children are starving, fearing, and dying
Would you tell me why? What could I do with this?
Tell me why.. How could I remember this?

Life is yours because your imagination is all there for you
My love is for you because my inspiration is all here for me

Look upon the brightest stars You never know you have your own In your body
That's the reason you ask yourself why? What's the message that's written in the sky?
Would you tell me why?

If you want the Japanese version, get it here Yahoo Music Finder

And here's the translation of the lyrics.. The language might be a bit weird coz I'm not used to translating Japanese to English, especially lyrics..

Translation (Japanese-English) (English-Japanese)

今日は60億人が息して、感じて、生きている
今日は5000人の子供が飢えて、怯えて、亡くなっている
僕にこの理由を教えないか?僕はこれで何ができるか?
なぜだ。。こんなの覚えられるか?

命は君のもの、だって君の想像が全部君のためにここにある
僕の愛は君に、だって僕の霊感は全部僕のためにここにある

一番明るい星を見上げて
君は自分の体に自分のを持っているのが分からなかった
それが君が自分に訳を求めている理由か?空に書かれているメッセージはなんだ?
僕に理由を教えないか?

Somehow I feel sad, because when I am laughing, beside me someone is dying
Somehow I feel mortified, because I who still think of living am here

*There are people who want to live but can't
Don't think about living if you don't think about that
It's like that, right?
We might be accused as just humans and that's all
Living as humans, breathing as lives
Understanding that "There's nothing more wonderful than this"
Knowing it in our hearts, Knowing it in our thoughts

A memento still on Earth now
Someday I will get it to you
Crying, this star(planet) and myself
I should be able to love you and you should be able to love me

Each respective life is born
A person's prayer is born, The song is here*

Even now

I really want to believe in the life after death
Because, that person who died without even knowing happiness till this day
Could we meet someday somewhere? Would he be repayed in Heaven?
Where are we going? Where should we go?

Meeting again with friends who have gone without laughing together and being happy together
Reuniting in Heaven and proudly saying
"I was happy, it was beautiful, 'happiness' was overflowing
I want to go again someday and teach about 'love'"

*repeat chorus*

Always

The one spinning around is this Earth
The earth was once one
That light is from a star a few billion years in the past
The universe is slowly swelling up

But that's not the only thing, there is so much more
The proofs to say that "We who once lived on this star(planet) were..."

If you see shooting stars, pray that the dreams would be granted.
When your heart feels like it is tearing apart, you call it love
Anger wraps around us, until the day when the last light comes
I would not forget you, even if we never met

I will surely remember you, I will surely remember
The birds, and the forest, and the moon, and that kid too, the kind Earth remembers

Even now the memento is in my heart
All the time, it is here overflowing in my bosom

Laughing and hugging, you and me,
Someday that time will surely come, let's live waiting
So that it doesnt overflow, so that we do not forget
Until the day I die and go away comes
Zutto zutto zuttooooooooooooo~~~~~~~

aiko 愛子

aiko, born Aiko Yanai (柳井 愛子, Yanai Aiko, born November 22, 1975 in Suita, Osaka) is a Japanese pop singer-songwriter. She is known for her cheerful disposition. Her music primarily consists of love songs and is particularly popular among young girls all over East Asia. Oricon published the results of a survey of 20,000 subscribers' favourite singers, and aiko topped the list in both 2005 and 2006.
Source: Wikipedia



As you can see above and on the right column, I've added a video of her song and a playlist. Okay, so, honestly I had no idea she's 31! haha.. she looks so little and cheerful all the time.. Well, her songs are not bad lar.. BTW, shiawase means happy.. umm.. more like 'happily everafter' type of feeling? hehe.. dono..

Here's a lyric of the Music Clip, Shiawase 幸せ

隣で眠ってるあなたの口が開く そして笑った
どんな夢見てるの?気になる...
出来ればあたしが出てきたらいいのに
隣で手を繋いだあなたの左手少し汗をかいてた
だけど 同じくらいあたしの右手暖かかった

見上げたら喉が愛しかったので 甘いキャンディーの事も忘れて
小さいあたしの唯一の特権 思わずキスをしたの

二人周り流れるストーリー 生きていく為に泣くこともある
それがあたしを強くするならば これも一番の幸せなんです
二人何処かで廻るストーリー 生涯離れてしまっても
あなたの一歩になるならば 幸せに思える日が来るのです

いつから知ってたの?あたしの強い所 弱い所
黙って見ててくれたあなたと同じ青空に出よう

愛し愛されて過ぎる大切な時 そして香った
あなたの呼吸の唄に走る小さな星に涙が出た
あたしのこの言葉が唇をまたいでいった後
意味を持ったままあなたの胸に残ってます様に

この指で弾いた息と気持ちを重ね あなたに飛ばすの 響いて
新しい明日に繋がる想い「今日も大好きでした」

二人周り流れるストーリー あなたがここに居てくれるなら
後悔せずに前を向いたまま 立ち止まる事も怖くないのです
二人何処かで廻るストーリー 静かに終わりが来たとしても
最後にあなたが浮かんだら それが幸せに思える日なのです

隣で眠ってるあなたの口が開く そして笑った
これが幸せ 今の幸せ ついて行くわ 眠ろう
