    I didn't even know there was a site linked to this forum o_O Thank you very much anyway.

    I've tried to translate the lyrics by myself, but this is a great help.

    But there's still something I do not understand in the lyrics, it's the
    "A love that was despised
    It starves contrarily"
    what does that mean?

    Don't know if here is the right place for that, but it'll help me understanding the meaning of the lyrics :)

    ^I've kinda been wondering about that line, too.

    Literally, that would mean something like "there is a contrary attitude inherent in the manner in which love starves." But...somehow it seems strange to me...like "it" should be applying to something else or "contrary" is the wrong word. (Especially since "contrary" has childish, almost mischievious conotations.) Anyone know what's up?

    *opening screen note ... (on PV only)*
    [ You are not a bird
    I Wish that you will walk firmly on the ground
    Despite there are painful matters, there is still a future
    Always, time will be an eraser of memories]


    TEREBI no NYUUSU ga tsutaeru tokumei de mamorareta higeki mo

    Do not keep your worries to one person alone, but tell everybody
    You are strong and perhaps that you are not so weak]

    English Translation:

    Virgin Love

    Since it's you, I’ll tell you
    My secret…
    I haven’t even told my friends

    I’ve had
    More than one guy at once
    I’ve got a bit of a reputation
    At school
    The number of guys I’ve dated isn’t a lie
    But the reality is, it’s only gone so far

    A grown-up girl
    But it’s all talk, all talk, all show
    I haven’t experienced what comes next
    I live on the edge

    A grown-up girl
    But I cheated when I counted
    More than it looks like I did
    Someone take me away fast
    Someone take me away fast
    Someone come fast
    Come, come, come
    Virgin love

    An overripe fruit
    Is too hard to handle
    The panic in privacy of someone who’s underage

    A kiss will get you laughed at
    I’ve talked
    To everyone
    But I can’t wait to meet someone
    It’s pointless to keep protecting it

    A girl left behind
    A small, small minority
    I haven’t experienced that ceremony
    But I hide it

    A girl left behind
    Before
    My season ends
    Is it really OK?
    Is it really OK?
    It’s really
    OK! OK! OK!
    Virgin love

    It’s surely a precious thing
    I love you
    So I can give it to you
    I made up my mind when I met you
    My first will be wonderful

    A grown-up girl
    But it’s all talk, all talk, all show
    I haven’t experienced what comes next
    I live on the edge

    A grown-up girl
    But I cheated when I counted
    More than it looks like I did
    Someone take me away fast
    Someone take me away fast
    Someone come fast
    Come, come, come

    My School Uniform's Getting In The Way


    Ah~!
    Ah~!
    Ah~!
    Ah~!

    Why does the night
    Always come so quickly in Shibuya?
    We’ve just met for a little while
    On our usual trip home from school
    In no time at all
    We’re at the game centre and it’s nearly my curfew
    But all kinds of things happen
    When love is beginning

    You try to be a good guy
    And say “let’s go home”
    But your true feelings are different, aren’t they?
    What should we do?

    My school uniform’s getting in the way
    I want to be loved more freely
    Take me somewhere
    To a world I don’t know

    My school uniform’s getting in the way
    I want to love more freely
    Don’t look at me like that
    That’s how it is for high school girls
    I don’t care
    If somebody (somebody)
    Looks
    Kiss me
    Ah~!
    Ah~!
    Ah~!
    Ah~!

    The people passing by
    Want to say something
    But no look
    Will stop my love’s instincts
    You put your arm around me
    And wrap your arms around my waist
    But we haven’t done
    Anything naughty together

    I’ll cling to you
    And take you in
    If you get excited
    Things will start to move along

    Take off my uniform
    I want to play around more naughtily
    You can do whatever you like
    I want to experience adult pleasure

    Take off my uniform
    I want to play around more naughtily
    I want to taste that thrill
    But I’m a high school girl
    Even if something (something)
    Happens
    It’ll work out
    Hug me
    Ah~!
    Ah~!

    My school uniform’s getting in the way
    I want to be loved more freely
    Take me somewhere
    To a world I don’t know

    My school uniform’s getting in the way
    I want to love more freely
    Don’t look at me like that
    That’s how it is for high school girls
    I don’t care
    If somebody (somebody)
    Looks
    Kiss me
    Ah~!
    Ah~!
    Ah~!
    Ah~!

    I don’t care
    I don’t care
    I don’t care
    Kiss me

    I Wanna See You


    I wanna see you I wanna see you
    I wanna see you Yes!
    I wanna see you I wanna see you
    I wanna see you Yes!
    You...

    I pedal my bike at full force
    While climbing the hill
    Even if my shirt is inflated by the wind
    It's not quick enough yet

    I've finally realized my true feelings
    So I'm gonna be honest with you
    Hurry up
    With this only way!

    As long as it's love, let's say it
    Let's be frank without faking
    As long as it's love, let's say it
    Let's confess what's inside our hearts

    I wanna see you I wanna see you
    I wanna see you Yes!
    I wanna see you I wanna see you
    I wanna see you Yes!
    You...

    Even if my sweat starts to flood
    I'll keep my face honest without wiping it
    Continuing in this shortcut
    A tunnel with the sunlight passing through the trees to the summer

    Even if I can't be that skillful when speaking
    I have to be straight
    Hurry up
    With the way I live!

    You're more important than anybody
    So, even if I tremble, I won't regret it
    You're more important than anybody
    So I want to tell you about my feelings

    As long as it's love, let's say it
    Let's be frank without faking
    As long as it's love, let's say it
    Let's confess what's inside our hearts

    “PARTY ga hajimaru yo” - “The Party Begins!”
    Original Lyrics by Mr. Akimoto Yasushi
    Translation by gideon123

    PARTY!
    Forget everything!
    PARTY!
    Move your body!
    PARTY!
    Well, let’s have fun!
    PARTY!
    Tonight, from here on out!
    When the moon’s bunny springs out,
    And the star’s bell rings,
    The white whale from Earth’s past
    Will spray out water from the sea

    Quietly close your eyes
    Be quiet!
    Can you see
    The entrance to the dream?

    PARTY!
    Forget everything!
    PARTY!
    Move your body!
    PARTY!
    Well, let’s have fun!
    PARTY!
    Tonight, from here on out!

    When all the toy soldiers
    March out to somewhere,
    The mouse-drawn carriage
    Carrying Cinderella arrives

    Love’s bouquet
    Like a ticket
    To paradise
    Let’s go play!

    PARTY!
    With the music kept alive
    PARTY!
    With a lively dance
    PARTY!
    Do it like you love it!
    PARTY!
    To the timeless country

    What are you shining outward?
    Stand up!
    If you don’t even get along,
    You’ll become a fool!

    PARTY!
    Don’t be nervous!
    PARTY!
    With your own style
    PARTY!
    Clap your hands out loud!
    PARTY!
    Tonight, from here on out!

    PARTY!

    Hana at mm-bbs did a translation of Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou which I thought was easier to understand.

    (I'm not sure about re-posting translation to a certain song that someone else had posted earlier on, but here I go anyway)

    The translation for these have been subbed into the PV at this link. So go ahead and check it out if you're interested.

    Credits to Hana @ mm-bbs.
    Keibetsu Shiteita Aijou - Scorned Love

    The TV news even broadcasts
    a tragedy protected by privacy
    just as ordinarily as a
    smiley is used when typing an email on a cell phone

    The adults have an "I-know-how-it-is" look
    while they're searching for a motive, but
    the analysis that has taken the spotlight*
    is like an unfunny joke

    In this class dependent on deviation value,
    our future is decided for us
    Even if we try,
    we already noticed
    the things that we can't
    do anything about
    long ago

    Scorned love
    Without realizing it, I want it
    I don't want to be lonely
    I wanted to be held
    By someone...

    The girl who tried to become a bird
    properly lined up her shoes on the roof
    Did she want people to admire her manners
    or was it insinuation?

    Even if you take a poll
    this late in time about whether there
    "was" or "wasn't" any bullying,
    the voice of her heart, that which she wanted heard,
    won't transmit through the wind

    This process of shifting responsibility
    makes celebrated people cry
    We still don't understand
    this foolish chain...
    The one pointing fingers
    is me, who didn't
    do anything

    Scorned love
    While pretending to not notice the worry
    about how I was starving, even though I was,
    I looked for gentle eyes
    Forever...

    Scorned love
    Without realizing it, I want it
    I don't want to be lonely
    I wanted to be held
    By someone...
    Forever...

    * This is in reference to how when these kinds of things happen, TV stations bring in commentators and beat the story to death with analyzing the situation (why did it happen, what was the cause, etc).

    “Dear my teacher”
    Original Lyrics by Mr. Akimoto Yasushi
    Translation by gideon123

    Please don’t gaze at me with those eyes
    Won’t something begin?
    Invitation without words is sneaky

    Why have you been hesitating lately?
    With your arms crossed
    Surely you’re in deep trouble
    Because of the way you treat me

    Hey, slowly
    Let’s think about the two of us
    Hey, aren’t we just a “Guy-Girl-Thing” in this world?
    With just a simple answer
    Even I’ll soon understand

    Kiss me BABY!
    Kiss me BABY!
    Hold a broken thing closer
    With a textbook method
    Isn’t it okay to teach me?
    Kiss me BABY!
    Kiss me BABY!
    Anyway, I’ll soon experience
    My first partner
    Dear dear my teacher!

    Why are you hesitating?
    Are your morals holding you back?
    Because it’s human nature
    This argument won’t stop

    With love, it’s no big deal
    Is it something you can’t do?
    Isn't there a future with me?
    Don't you wanna try a few things?
    Hey, surely
    Surely if nobody says a word
    Hey, it’ll be just the two of us; not even Papa or Mama will speak of this secret
    It’ll be something we’ll soon forget
    Something we can do anywhere

    Do it BABY!
    Do it BABY!
    Won’t you teach me a lesson?
    I secretly want
    Special extra credit
    Do it BABY!
    Do it BABY!
    If you look the door
    I’ll be a good girl
    Dear dear my teacher!

    Shake it BABY!
    Shake it BABY!
    What’ll we do first?
    I won’t say a word
    If I close my eyes
    Shake it BABY!
    Shake it BABY!
    Is the lesson skillful?
    Quickly teach me
    Dear dear my teacher!

    *I know this song's been translated before and released as part of a fansub project, but I figured I'd take a stab at it anyway.

    “Skirt, Hirari” – “Skirt Flutters”
    Orginal lyrics by Mr. Akimoto Yasushi
    Translation by gideon123

    With coincidental mischief, I passed closely by you
    You make my heart stop
    And I’ve intentionally ignored you far too long

    Why am I such a fool?
    Even though I like you like that,
    I trap myself in self-disgust
    Alone among the crowd at the train station

    For a sudden moment,
    There is a lasting regret and pain
    Please God, once more
    Can You reset time?

    As for a girl,
    There’s a time when her skirt flutters and waves
    And she wants to run
    Everything is thrown away
    As she heads for love
    Each time she falls in love
    Her skirt flitters and waves
    Like a fire ignited in her heart
    No matter what we do
    We’ll be forgiven during puberty

    If you just look at a dream,
    Nothing will progress
    If you stretch out your hand,
    The fruit planted there will ripen

    The stairs to adulthood
    I jump two steps at a time
    Hey, please tell me soon
    That you like me

    As for a girl,
    There’s a time when her skirt flows and inflates
    And she becomes alive
    Youth is always
    Just ahead of you
    Because I fell in love
    My skirt flows and inflates
    I chase after you
    Whatever we have to do
    Is too go for puberty

    With lively breath, falling sweat,
    And all our strength,
    Let’s run along this path that we believe in
    If this feeling becomes like the wind,
    It’ll surely reach you
    The result, without fear:
    I like you the most in this world

    As for a girl,
    There’s a time when her skirt flutters and flows
    And she wants to run
    Everything is thrown away
    As she heads for love
    Each time she falls in love
    Her skirt flitters and waves
    Like a fire ignited in her heart
    No matter what we do
    We’ll be forgiven during puberty

    “Classmate”
    Original lyrics by Mr. Akimoto Yasushi
    Translation by gideon123

    Along the school path at twilight,
    You push your bicycle
    I walk with you on this hill road
    Our shadows stretch outward

    As for the long detour we take,
    Because I like you,
    Just being with you
    Is fun
    And I lose track of time

    Hey, in this way I wonder
    Where we are going
    Until the straight future,
    You are with me

    Classmate
    Someone who doesn’t stand out
    But you are important to me
    The most important
    Presence in the world
    You are my only one
    Classmate
    You’re the usual type
    But you make my heart race
    This feeling
    That I cannot say
    Only the leaves make a sound

    For the second time at these crossroads,
    I have to turn right
    Love is always in front
    I leave it in charge
    Of this future that cannot progress

    Hey, I wonder if tomorrow will clear up
    Into a cloudless sky
    In this way, along the school path
    I want to bump into you
    I want to return there

    Classmate
    Now you’re a friend
    But I feel for you more than anyone else
    The best in the school
    An awesome smiling face
    You’re my only one
    Classmate
    Amidst this unrequited love
    Yet I don’t care
    One day for sure
    It’ll be just me
    I’ll be you’re classmate

    One day for sure
    You’ll be just my classmate
    You’ll be just my classmate
