Shortcake

Kanji -

Spoiler

子どもの頃から
兄妹のように
一緒に大人になって来たよね
ショートケーキの上
イチゴで喧嘩して
ふたりを利かずに
登校した

まわりの友達が
結婚し始めて
しあわせって
近くにあると
今になって思ったよ

好きと言えたら楽なのに
意地を張っていた　ずっと
頑なに
手も触れずに・・・
恋の対象にならない
幼なじみだったけど
少しずつ
何かが変わった
胸がドキドキしなくても
ふと　ホッとするような
恋愛もあるって気づいたよ

落ち込んでた時
理由は聞かずに
関係ない話て笑わせた
突然　あなたが
商店街　いつもの店へ
ショートケーキを
買ってきた

私にだけいっぱい
イチゴをくれたね
しあわせって
こんな風に
じーんとすることだよね

今すぐに　好きと言いたいけど
ソッポ向いたまま　きっと
あなたは
「何か言った?」なんて・・・
もう一度　言わせるつもり?
私　勇気出したのに・・・
意地悪
何も変わってない
聞こえていなくてもいい
聞こえていたって
一番　大切な　I love you!

私たちの
ケーキに
イチゴはいくつ?
数えながら分け合って
一緒に暮らそうよ
もし　あなたが
落ち込んでいる時は
私のイチゴもあげる
涙も分け合おう

好きと言えたら楽なのに
何をためらってたのだろう

この恋

好きと言えたら楽なのに
意地を張っていた　ずっと
頑なに
手も触れずに・・・
恋の対象にならない
幼なじみだったけど
少しずつ
何かが変わった
胸がドキドキしなくても
ふと　ホッとするような
恋愛もあるって気づいたよ

^ My translation:

Spoiler

We grew up together
like an older brother and younger sister,
from our childhood on
Arguing over who'd get the strawberries
on the shortcake, we'd go to school together
without speaking to each other

The friends around us
started to marry,
and I thought that
before long
happiness would come my way

I'd have been glad to be able
to say I loved you, but I was stubborn
the whole time, obstinately
not even touching hands...
You were my childhood friend,
not the object of love, but
little by little,
something changed
Even though my heart didn't beat fast,
as if somehow suddenly relieved,
I noticed my affection for you

When I felt down,
you didn't ask why,
making me laugh with random stories
All at once, you bought
shortcake for me
at the usual store downtown

You gave all
the strawberries
just to me
and in this way,
happiness rends my heart

I wanted to say I love you right now, but
I kept my face turned away, surely
You said something like
"Did you say something?"...
Will you make me say it again?
Although I used all my courage...
Unkind
Nothing changes,
and it's all right if it's inaudible
I heard it
The most important "I love you!"

How many strawberries
are on
our cake?
It seems that we live at the same time,
sharing them as we count them
If I were to give you mine
when you're feeling down,
we'd share tears as well

I'd have been glad to be able
to say I loved you
I wonder what made me hesitate

This love...

I'd have been glad to be able
to say I loved you, but I was stubborn
the whole time, obstinately
not even touching hands...
You were my childhood friend,
not the object of love, but
little by little,
something changed
Even though my heart didn't beat fast,
as if somehow suddenly relieved,
I noticed my affection for you

There was some past/present tense confusion, so please correct me if I got something wrong

 

So long!

So long!　微笑んで
So long!　じゃあまたね

枝にいくつかの固いつぼみ
桜前線　まだ来ないのに
私たちの春は歴通り
希望の道に花を咲かせる

手探りで夢を語り
恋に悩んで涙を分け合った

思い出が見方になる
明日から強く生きようよ
辛いことがあったとしても
一人じゃない　なんとかなるさ
一緒に走ったグラウンドで
たまった汗を忘れないで
my friend…

ギュッとハグしたらこみ上げてきた
絶対泣かないって決めてたのに
お互いの涙を指で拭って
笑いあったら余計に泣けた

夕暮れが急かすように
最後のチャイムが未来の足音

思い出はまだできる
目の前に広がる青空
喜びも悲しみも
私たちの宝になるよ
別々の道歩き出しても
そばにいつもあなたがいるような
best friend…

ねぇ　どうして　桜の木って切ないの？
やがて咲いて　やがて散って
見上げたのは花の砂時計

lalalalala lalalalala
lalalalala lalalalalalala…

Someone requested "Kimi wa kangaeru" a couple pages back, sorry it took this long. I'm still not sure it's totally right, but it's better than nothing I guess.

Kimi wa kangaeru ("You're Lost in Thought")

Spoiler

I gazed down
From the school roof
At my rivals
Here and there in the schoolyard
Oh, are they better
Than me
At studies?
Or aren’t they?
I shot them down with a finger pistol

It’s not about a person’s merit
Or anything like that
They’re just test marks
I know that, but…

Over there
You’re lost in thought
Is what you’re currently trying so hard for
Really going to be
Of use to you someday?
You’re lost in thought
But if your test scores aren’t good
You can’t go on
In the future
What rank will you get on the national exams?

If you take a step out of the school gates
There are more of them
I haven’t met them, but
There are geniuses
My superiors
In grades
I only know
Their names
I’ll meet them at the college entrance exams!

Even though you boast
That you know everything…
Aren’t you forgetting something
Important?

I understand you
Properly
The knowledge you’re absorbing
Is feeding your dreams
So that they’ll be granted
I understand you
It really doesn’t matter
What your exact ranking is
Right now
It’s just what you’re in the neighborhood of

Well, you might as well
Try to do what you can
Take #1
If #1 is impossible…
Not standing at the top
Is no laughing matter

Over there
You’re lost in thought
Is what you’re currently trying so hard for
Really going to be
Of use to you someday?
You’re lost in thought
But if your test scores aren’t good
You can’t go on
In the future
What rank will you get on the national exams?

So long!

Spoiler

So long! Smile
So long! See you again

On the branches are numerous closed buds
Though the cherry blossoms haven’t bloomed yet
Our spring will arrive in accord with the calendar
The road of hope will make the flowers bloom

We clumsily talked about our dreams
Worrying about love, we shared tears

Our memories will become something to lean on
Starting tomorrow, let’s live strong
Even if there’s hardship
You’re not alone, you’ll manage somehow
Don’t forget the perspiration we built up
On the grounds we ran across together
My friend…

When you hugged me tight, it filled my heart
I decided I definitely wouldn’t cry, but
Wiping each other’s tears with our fingers
When we laughed together, the tears came unbidden

Like the evening is hurrying it along
The final chime sounds like the footsteps of the future

We can still make memories
There’s a blue sky spreading out before our eyes
Happiness and sadness both
Become our treasures
Though we’ll go our separate ways
You’ll always be here by my side
Best friend…

Hey, why is it that the cherry trees are heartrending?
They finally bloom, then soon scatter
Looking up at them, the flowers are like a sundial

La la la la la….

La la la la la…

Our memories will become something to lean on
Starting tomorrow, let’s live strong
Even if there’s hardship
You’re not alone, you’ll manage somehow
Don’t forget the perspiration we built up
On the grounds we ran across together
My friend…

La la la la la….

La la la la la…

Someday, when I have my wedding
I’ll be sure to invite you
My friend…


Romaji: "watashitachi no haru wa reki douri" should be "watashitachi no haru wa koyomidoori"

Darkness

Spoiler

Love is darkness…

If night were to fall, oh, upon the two of us
Everything would vanish, oh, like a shooting star

I can’t see this love even one centimeter in front of me
Fumbling around, it’s the deep darkness we wished for

What part of you was I looking at?
What did I know?
I was mistaking
That narrow window for infinity

I’ll disappear
I’ll go beyond this sadness
Where my memories are just fragments
Stars that can’t shine
Despair will swallow everything up
Both the hazy light and sound…
Even the warmth that I held in my arms
Will be blotted out
Dark… dark…

No matter when, no matter what situation
A fate like this unable to reward us is fine being insubstantial

What about me do you believe in?
What do you plan to give up?
Reflected in the mirror
Is that intention hidden somewhere?

My heart is closed
The curtain has already dropped
The future has no meaning
Time has already stopped
If there’s no new sky
Neither is there the scent or movement of air…

It’s nothing but a delusion of mine
Loving
And being loved…

Even if a miracle were to rend this darkness
I still wouldn’t be able to see the sun
Forever, no matter where I go
I’ll just be chasing you for eternity
I want to hide away in this deep darkness

I’ll disappear
I’ll go beyond this sadness
Where my memories are just fragments
Stars that can’t shine
Despair will swallow everything up
Both the hazy light and sound…
Even the warmth that I held in my arms
Will be blotted out

At the very utmost reaches of an unknown galaxy
Life without answers will be reincarnated

Dark side

Spoiler

Do you know?
Don’t you know?
My past is
A deep darkness no one knows about
Do you know?
Don’t you know?
Will I die? Will I live?
The tattoo on my wrist
Is proof that I’ve lived rebelliously

I’m already fed up with guys
(I hate guys, but can’t live without guys)
Because with love you can never be free…
(I can’t be love forever)
What’s your hope for my future?
(talk to your mama)
I can’t deal with troublesome things
What about us makes us slaves to each other?

Can you see?
Can’t you see?
The scars on my heart
Are what I got for the dream I grabbed hold of one day
Can you see?
Can’t you see?
Will I run away? Will I fight?
My face is pale
(Sadness becomes a sin)

Can you see?
Can’t you see?
I’m just tired of this
If it bothers me this much, it’ll destroy me
I don’t love you no more
It’s okay not to start
There’s a wall before my eyes
(You don’t have to climb it)

I don’t want to be born a woman anymore
(I’m so sorry, blame my daddy)
I don’t really like
Kissing that much…
(I don’t need to feel you closer)
I don’t want your kindness
(What do you need?)
I’m not suited for happiness anyway
(Born to be alone)
If you’re gonna give up on me
The faster the better

Do you know?
Don’t you know?
My past is
A deep darkness no one knows about
Do you know?
Don’t you know?
Will I die? Will I live?
The tattoo on my wrist
Is proof that I’ve lived rebelliously

Do you know?
Don’t you know?
If you put your life on the line
I’ll hold you for just one night
I don’t know who you are
Don’t pull me close afterward
Just forget everything
(Let me think it’s fine like this)

I can’t do anything about it
Fate has driven me to my wits’ end
Am I going to fall in love again?

Can you see?
Can’t you see?
The scars on my heart
Are what I got for the dream I grabbed hold of one day
Can you see?
Can’t you see?
Will I run away? Will I fight?
My face is pale
(Sadness becomes a sin)

Can you see?
Can’t you see?
I’m just tired of this
If it bothers me this much, it’ll destroy me
I don’t love you no more
It’s okay not to start
There’s a wall before my eyes
(You don’t have to climb it)

Futo omou koto ("Something That Suddenly Came to Mind")

Spoiler

I had a dream yesterday
A dream where I was chatting with you
I don’t know if it was three or five
Or even ten years from now

We talked about
How the winter was passing
And the feeling that the end of the year was already so close
It seemed like we were really talking together,
And sharing our feelings

I actually often hear people say
That girls and the people
They call best friends
Don’t really have
Very long relationships

But a grown-up daughter
And a mother
Help each other just like friends

I’m sincerely looking forward to
Being with you in the future

Friends and companions
And people we call best friends
Are, in this life that is so short
What’s called affection

I know that sometimes
Even more than family,
Something deep can be shared between friends
You can feel it in the atmosphere

Eventually, most of a year might be used up
On a boy or a boyfriend
But somehow I feel the person I end up loving
Will not erase my bond with you

But a grown-up daughter
And a mother
Help each other just like friends

I’m sincerely looking forward to
Being with you in the future

Yasashisa no chizu ("The Map of Kindness")

Spoiler

The blue sky was so bright it seemed faded
Shading my face with my hand, I squinted
The nearby telephone wires swayed
In the occassional wind

Planting my feet, my bicycle leaned
I caught my breath and wiped off my sweat
Where is the real me?
I was searching for myself

Towards the too-vast future
I began to want to give up on challenging things
Ah, I’m so helpless
Oh! Yeah!

With kindness as my heart’s map
I’ll move ahead
My road guided by a smile…
I’ll start running towards a warm, sunny place
That the whole world can become happy
Is my only wish, I will…

The pylon standing alone in a field
Is there something it’s supposed to be protecting?
The sound of a faraway train
Sounds like an uttered word
Without even knowing the name of the flower that bloomed
Can a memory be born?
Will we be rewarded for our beliefs?
I just want to make sure

Though I’m coasting, it’s all right
The moment my feet touch these pedals
That sky starts coming closer
Oh! Yeah!

To get a hint on how to live kindly
I’ll try getting lost
While smiling along with someone…
Life is a rough uphill road
So that the whole world can talk things over with sympathetic voices
Let’s become one, I pray…

It’s still invisible
To the current me
On the other side of hope, it’s shining
So I’ll start searching for the place of dreams

With kindness as my heart’s map
I’ll move ahead
My road guided by a smile…
I’ll start running towards a warm, sunny place
That the whole world can become happy
Is my only wish, I will…

Let’s become one, I pray…
I will…

Watashi no hikari ("My Light")

Spoiler

The white snow piles up
The cityscape is a little more beautiful than usual

The truth is, if you’re there
I want to relate my true feelings right now

Even on painful nights when I endured tears
You were a light that enveloped and protected me

I can say it now
I want to express these honest words right away
I’m a little embarrassed, but
Thank you for everything

Everyone taught me
That I’m not alone
To everyone who was always beside me, smiling
Thank you

The fragrance of winter, the twinkling stars
Everything looks like a brilliantly shining miracle

Even on anxious nights when I closed my eyes in fear
You were a light that shone on my future

I can say it now
I want to express these honest words right away
It’s like you were holding me
In your warm hands

Because all of you are here
I am here
From now on, let’s not become separated
Today too, thank you
Forever, thank you

Oikake Shadow ("Chase the Shadow")

Spoiler

It started raining, but
I don’t mind getting soaked
“Shh- shh- shh- shh-“, it falls
The rain suits my heart
If I wait here
You’ll get off the bus
What should I say?

I wasn’t honest with my love
Forgive my naïve stubborness
Pretending I was okay, I looked the other way
But like a toothache
I became gloomy
And couldn’t sit still at all

Chase the shadow
I’m a shadow
A shadow standing on the moistened asphalt
Chase the shadow
Your beloved shadow
Before my eyes, the usual neighborhood
Is painted black by my tears

The rain turns to sleet
And my fingers go numb with cold
“Shh- shh- shh- shh-“, it falls heavily
My body becomes chilled
How much should I withstand
To get you to forgive me?
For us to continue

I fled into a shop
But there, a cute girl
Was whispering something into your ear
When you returned home, while hugging you
I searched for the past or the future in your smiling face

A forlorn shadow
Immediately a shadow
Softly erasing my existence, I want to become a shadow
A forlorn shadow
My heart is a shadow
Yes, even though I’m certainly here
It’s okay if I’m a deep darkness you can’t see

Chase the shadow
I’m a shadow
A shadow standing on the moistened asphalt
Chase the shadow
Your beloved shadow
Before my eyes, the usual neighborhood
Is painted black by my tears

Sakuranbo to kodoku ("Cherries and Solitude")

Spoiler

I want to eat a cherry
And send that seed flying

During this lesson (in the corner)
The girl stands alone (red-faced)
Holding an empty paper cup
In her hand
She was taking a break

Without advancing forward (tiredly)
While getting nervous (quietly)
Like this, how it should be,
She fought with herself

Someone who couldn’t just stand by
Quietly placed
A box of cherries
In front of the girl
And waited for her to resume

If only she can dream
She can see as many dreams
As she wants, but
She can’t think
That all of them
Will properly come true
If only she can dream
She could even
Become kind
Stretching with a tingle
Sucking in air
In order to stretch
Midway over that slope

One cherry (taken in hand)
Two cherries (she ate them)
She looked cool
When she spat out the seed

Without being satisfied
With her singing and dancing
The girl, alone
Stoically
Doesn’t let anyone near

She keeps wanting to see the future
If she gave up
It would be easier
However
What should she do
More than what she’s doing now?
She keeps wanting to see the future
What she decided
From that day forward
Though she looked like she was pouting
It doesn’t matter anymore
The one facing her
Is her own self

Lonely girl
She
Lonely girl
Admired that person
She rejected
The lukewarm water
And jumped in
A lonely back

If only she can dream
She can see as many dreams
As she wants, but
She can’t think
That all of them
Will properly come true
If only she can dream
She could even
Become kind
Stretching with a tingle
Sucking in air
In order to stretch
Midway over that slope

The one facing her
Is her own self


Romaji mistakes: sora no kami KOPPU te ni matte = kara no kami KOPPU te ni motte

Haru no melody ("The Melody of Spring")

Spoiler

After the news
The usual forecaster,
Gesturing,
Conveyed
That from tomorrow morning on
It will start to get warm
Like it’s an achievement…

The wind knocking
Against the glass window
Still doesn’t know

I’ve started to hear
The melody of spring
It makes me want
To sing softly
I close my eyes
And remember
Him and the scent of the flowers
The footfalls of a nearby love

In the same class
Every time we faced each other
We became
Awkward
The winter was long
The distant sun
Shines
On the clouds

Both snow and misunderstandings
Eventually melt
And hearts show their faces

The melody of spring
It’s coming from somewhere
Sunlight
Will make everyone happy
The flowers of dreams
Will bloom profusely
And our future

I’ve started to hear
The melody of spring
It makes me want
To sing softly
Lightly
I close my eyes
And remember
That night I cried
The snow starts to fall
Without an umbrella,
I get wet
While being frozen by love
I go home alone…
Now they’re nostalgic tears



Romaji: NYUUSU no nochi de = NYUUSU no ato de
sotto utai tak naru = sotto utaitaku naru

Final stanza is missing 軽く　between 気持ち and 瞼(まぶた)　閉じて (likewise, romaji should have "karuku" between kimochi and mabuta tojite.

 

I hope it is possible to notify small errors here. Lyrics Page, Tenshi no Shippo. The English title says Angel's tale, I think it should be Angel's tail. The same pronunciation but different meanings.

 

Fuyu no kamome ("Winter Seagull")

Spoiler

Our breath coming out in puffs of white
We ran across the beach
Why is it that you wanted to come to the beach
In winter?

In the cold wind
You held me
And cried

Seagull
Take me with you
Far away
Across the ocean
Seagull
Take me with you
To somewhere
Where we aren’t
I believe, surely
Paradise exists there

Without saying anything
We listened to the waves
What should we do?
I feel like I’ll think of something…

Adults one-sidedly
Criticize
Our youth

Seagull
Please tell me
Where
Can freedom be found?
Seagull
Please tell me
Right away
Spreading the invisible wings
On my back
I will venture into the sky

Seagull
Take me with you
Far away
Across the ocean
Seagull
Take me with you
To somewhere
Where we aren’t
I believe, surely
Paradise exists there

橋の途中で
急に立ち止まって
生まれた街を
振り返った君さ

たった一つの
スポーツバッグと
始まったばかりの
未来が重そうに…

昨日まであの山が
すべてだったけど
世界にはいくつも
高い山がある

思い出に涙するより
前を向いて歩き出せ!
流れてく時間の川は
待っててくれないだろう
君は清らかなままに
夢を見ればいい

希望と (不安) 繋ぐ (繋ぐ) 橋よ

遠い列車の
汽笛が近づけば
揺れてた心も
ようやく決まるはず

“できること” “できないこと”
分けてしまうけど
あきらめてしまった
道も続いてる

思い出に涙するより
今の瞬間(とき)を 信じよう
鉄橋の向こうの空は
どんな青をしてるのか?
君が自分で見上げたら
僕に教えてよ
いつもと (違う) この (橋) 渡る
光と (影を) 分ける (分ける) 橋よ

生まれた日から
いくつもの橋がある

Miraibashi ("Bridge to the Future")

Spoiler

Halfway across the bridge
You suddenly stopped
You looked back
At the town where you were born

With one duffel bag,
You’ve just now
Set off
The future must seem so heavy…

Until yesterday, that mountain
Was everything to you
But in this world,
There are hundreds of tall mountains

Instead of crying for the past
Face forward and walk on!
The flowing river of time
Won’t wait for you
I hope you can keep on dreaming
With a pure heart
Everyone will cross this bridge
The bridge that connects hope and anxiety

When the whistle
Of the far-off train draws near
Your wavering heart
Should have made up its mind at last

“Things I can do” “things I can’t do”
Life is divided up like that
But even the roads we give up on
Still continue

Instead of crying for the past
Try to believe in the present
What color is the sky
Beyond the iron bridge?
If you see it for yourself
Please let me know
Cross this bridge that’s a little different than usual
The bridge that’s divided between light and shadow

From the day we’re born
There are so many bridges

Instead of crying for the past
Face forward and walk on!
The flowing river of time
Won’t wait for you
I hope you can keep on dreaming
With a pure heart
Everyone will cross this bridge
The bridge that connects hope and anxiety

Classkai no ato de ("After the Class Reunion")

Spoiler

You told me
Your new mail address
My fingers get lost on my smartphone

Time has passed
Like my voice won’t reach
We’ve become distant, haven’t we?

The feelings from that day
In the graduation album
I’ve opened it any number of times to this page

After the class reunion
I was so lonely I didn’t know what to do
I took a longer road than usual
Getting home

Even now, some part of me
Wonders about you
There’s a throbbing pain…
Like my memories have awakened
A sweet thorn buried in my chest

Suddenly,
I got a mail from you
I wonder if I should reply

We hurt each other
And were both hurt
I regret turning my back on you

If I had been honest
What might have happened?
Someone, tell me the epilogue

After the class reunion
I walked around alone
Relying on the convenience stores
For lights

I hadn’t seen you in so long
You hadn’t changed at all
So kind…
Unwanted sadness hit me
I can’t meet with you again

The hands of time
That had been stopped since then
Started to move again, along with that old love

After the class reunion
I was so lonely I didn’t know what to do
I took a longer road than usual
Getting home

Even now, some part of me
Wonders about you
There’s a throbbing pain…
Like my memories have awakened
A sweet thorn buried in my chest

Soredemo nakanai ("Even So, I Won't Cry")

Spoiler

When I’m sad
I turn on my computer
And gaze at pictures of you
And your gentle smile

I’m not as strong
As you think
I’m full of anxiety
During the time we aren’t together

Even so, I won’t cry
I’ll bear it
Because I’m happy
Just to love you
Even so, I won’t cry
I close my eyes
And remember
Everything about you

If I call you
This late at night
Will you be worried
And wonder if something is wrong?

I can only believe
That we’re under the same sky
Yes, somewhere in the world
My ally is out there

The tears seem like
They’ll overflow
Gritting my teeth
I rested my chin on my hand
These almost overflowing tears
Become sound
I can’t mail you
This is the way of loneliness

The feeling called love
Is a strange thing
The breaking and receding
Waves are whispering
“I love you”

Ah

Even so, I won’t cry
I’ll bear it
Because I’m happy
Just to love you
Even so, I won’t cry
I close my eyes
And remember
Everything about you

Kibou no Tsuite - About Hope

Spoiler

Even if we spread these hands
It won't reach
Our dreams
Are far away

Even the stars in the night sky,
After billons of light years
Beyond the darkness
They're still shining

Let me talk about hope
Like a poet without a name
Fiercely (Fiercely)
If your tears going to overflow
Instead of just comforting you
Soon, dawn will come
Let me talk about it.

Even if you searching for love
You won't find it immediately
How about
You start by loving yourself?

In this vast world
Guided by fate
I saw
A single light

Let me talk about hope
Like an aged sailor
Deeper (deeper)
If you ever
Hurt by something
Instead of just treating it
As for me,
I will point the rising sun.

Everyone, whoever it is
By giving up, they will be at ease
But,
Dreams never turn their back on you

Let me talk about hope
Like a poet without a name
Fiercely (Fiercely)
If your ever
Lost for an answer
Without stopping,
While you walk.
Let me talk about hope
Like a soldier without a name
Someday
I will live on my dream

I had edited the post.
Big thanks for Silenka-san for the correction. XD

 

I just want to ask about how do the translators do the translate? [aup]
Japanese to English.
I just want to know it after all..

Want to learn japanese words through the lyrics of the song.

 

Well, as for me...

I actually did start by listening to Japanese music. As for the written portion, I memorized the hiragana/katakana tables and read along to lyrics booklets while I listened to the songs. Aside from my own studies in kanji, I learned a lot of characters by watching Japanese music shows, which conveniently have the lyrics at the bottom of the screen. I did this when I was very young though (~12-16) so your mileage may vary in how long it takes to absorb words.

Grammar-wise, when I was teaching myself I found quickly that a lot of the stuff I was teaching myself was wrong. It's far better to have someone to guide you properly. There are a lot of really bad grammar books out there that either don't teach something all the way or are just plain full of false information. I would be careful if going that route while learning, try to back up one source with another.

I took Japanese in community college but my classes and classmates weren't very good and I ended up not learning that much. That's another thing to watch out for if you are in a position to take Japanese in a college course, certain species of classmate can really derail the teaching environment with their personal interests >_>

I ended up graduating from Ohio State University which has a prestigious and VERY effective Japanese program. After the 4th year course there, I feel able to communicate fluidly, if not completely fluently. There are still words, idioms, slang and some set phrases and grammatical points that I'm sure I'm not aware of yet. The only reason I feel at all confident in translating (and I'm sure I still get stuff wrong sometimes) is that I believe in the foundational education I got there and I want to put it to good use (preferably at a job, but Ohio isn't exactly a hub of Japanese activity...)

I don't know about others, but I personally would not have been able to get this far without going through university classes. It added a structure to my learning and everyday immersion that I would not have been able to get anywhere else. Really, if you are serious about Japanese language, you should go to school. But just for beginning to learn Japanese or as a hobby, songs provide simple grammar and a lot of different words to learn. I think they are a pretty nice jumping-off point. Because certain words tend to be so repetitive in lyrics, it's good for reinforcement too.

Well, that is just my own story of how I got here and I don't know how helpful it will be. If you were looking for something different, feel free to PM me.

If this is too off-topic for this thread it could probably be moved to the learn Japanese thread.

 

Ajisaibashi
(English: Hydrangea bridge)

Spoiler

The rainy season came
distantly and slowly,
bringing silk threads of rain
thrown softly from the sky

The quiet townscape
faded in color
as I waved my hands,
seeing him off on the road

I can cross, I cannot cross
the bridge we named together
I can cross, I cannot cross
Ah, hydrangea bridge

I kept my little
umbrella open
The flowers of memory will appear
if I lean against the railing

Bearing grey rain clouds
like a kimono,
time and time again,
the sky wears a rainbow obi

It's the end of the love
you caught with your eyes
Before I knew it, the raindrops
became tears

I can cross, I cannot cross
the bridge of our memories
I can cross, I cannot cross
Ah, hydrangea bridge

We used to meet always
in this place
Those days were too heartwrenching
yet I'd lingered in them

I can cross, I cannot cross
Now I am alone
I can cross, I cannot cross
Ah, hydrangea bridge

They'll forever be blooming
within my heart,
the hydrangea blossoms
on this bridge with him

The hydrangea blossoms
on this bridge with him

I also found a minor mistake in the romaji:

Since pronouncing 橋 like "kyou" makes it mean "a part of the brain stem", I would assume it's not pronounced like that in the song.

The midwinter plane tree
Lies on our parting road
You look worried
While you walk next to me

Don’t say unfair things
Like “It’s all my fault”
Push me away more coldly
Make me give up on you

Kindness will show up on time
Full of memories
Treasured memories that remain deep in my heart
I’m sick of acting tough
My heart is in pain
Even though it would be much easier to hate you...

When I stopped at the light
You came running after me
Handing me a handkerchief
That’s so like you

Saying “Can you make it home alone?”
Don’t treat me like a child
It’s only the end of one love
It’s a usual story

Kindness will show up on time
Hiding my sadness
Small tears spill out the corners of my eyes
That’s right, I don’t need sympathy
It’s a matter of pride
But even now I still love you…

Kindness will show up on time
Full of memories
Treasured memories that remain deep in my heart
I’m fed up with acting tough
My heart is in pain
Even though it would be much easier to hate you...

Don’t be kind to me

Hey, let’s sing
Our school anthem
And remember those shining days
Hey, let’s sing
That nostalgic melody
It’s a song that fires us up
Even after the passing of time…

After so many years
Everyone reunited
I saw my friends
Who had taken their own separate paths

For some reason, tears run down my cheeks
Before I knew it, we became adults
For some reason, the tears won’t stop
Looking upwards, I continued singing

We can’t go back
To those days of youth
We ran through them feverishly, didn’t we?
We can’t go back
To that beautiful season
And the dreams we talked about
In the breezy classroom…

Not all wishes
Can be granted
But seeing my friends, I feel
I can once more try my best

For some reason, tears run down my cheeks
Before I knew it, we became adults
For some reason, the tears won’t stop
Looking upwards, I continued singing

Everyone looks back at the past
One day we’ll suddenly remember the things we forgot
Even now, everyone is drying out their voice
Struggling to sing about their dreams
My friends, let’s keep singing today as well

Twin tail wa mou shinai ("I Won't Wear Twintails Anymore")

Spoiler

No one
Has realized yet
The fact that I wear lipstick
I act prim so often
In front of my older sister
And my mother…
Though I’m more grown up
Than I look
I always get treated like a kid
I’ve even fallen in love
Though I haven’t kissed anyone yet…

Puberty is something
Everyone
Waits impatiently for

I won’t wear twintails anymore
They’re my ever-unchanging image
Yes, won’t it be like I can meet a new me?
Changing my hairstyle
In a hurry
I’m graduating from twintails

Even the friends
I get along so well with
Say I’m like a kid
But soon
I’ll be able to shock them
With my sex appeal
More than last year
My body is just a bit
More awkward
Growing up in my own way
I’ll put on high heels

Because I know myself
Better
Than anyone

I won’t wear twintails anymore
I looked like a lolita
Now, doesn’t letting down my long hair
Make me look like a totally different person?
Girls should be able to
Change their appearance on a whim
I wanna hurry up and become an adult

I won’t wear twintails anymore
Because I want a boyfriend

I won’t wear twintails anymore
They’re my ever-unchanging image
Yes, won’t it be like I can meet a new me?
Changing my hairstyle

Bin no futa ("Bottle Cap")

Spoiler

A lot happened
When I broke up with you
Even if we got back together
It probably wouldn’t go well

But now
Talking on the phone with you
It’s like nothing happened between us
A strange relationship

Because I’ve spent more time with you
Than my family
On weekends when I’m alone
I’m not used to it yet
And I drag my feet

I can’t open the lid
On the jar of strawberry jam
The glass bottle is so
Tightly closed
There are things I can’t do without a guy around
I want you to lend me your strength,
I whispered
I miss you…

“I’m kind of irritated
That you woke me up with a call in the middle of the night”
You can even say those kinds of selfish things
My ideal boyfriend

After I lost it I understood
What love is…
Invisible kindness
And a sense of security
Things that can support you

The lid won’t come off
It’s impossible for me
Just like that day, I was surprised
That it wouldn’t move
There are things a woman can’t do alone
I want you to easily open it
While watching soccer on TV

Even if we meet again tomorrow
We’ll probably fight, won’t we?
Though we love each other
It’s better if water and oil
Don’t mix

I can’t open the lid
On the jar of strawberry jam
The glass bottle is so
Tightly closed
There are things I can’t do without a guy around
I want you to lend me your strength,
I whispered
I miss you…

I call dibs on Choco no Dorei.

Just kidding

 

Saisho no Mail ("The First Email")

Spoiler

The First Email

When a person is born
It’s like they come out thinking of someone
Unable to speak
They have no choice
But to voice lonely cries

Getting to know you
I got a nostalgic feeling
Like I met you somewhere before…

Memories of that distant day (sweet pain)
Came back to me
While sending the first email
I’m sure it isn’t a coincidence
We loved each other from the start

Crossing the river of time
My feelings for you finally opened my heart
But I didn’t write the word
“Love”
Anywhere…

We talked so many times
Continuing our mail exchange
Like it was only natural to send it…

Your reply to the first mail was
“I feel like I’ve known you
(for a long time)”
That you had the same impression
Means we might have loved each other before we met

Memories of that distant day (sweet pain)
Came back to me
While sending the first email
I’m sure it isn’t a coincidence
We loved each other from the start

Shaku ga hoshii ("I Want Screentime")

Spoiler

I’ve been quiet up til now
A girl who was always waiting
I’ve been bursting
To tell you that I love you
But I couldn’t say it
I was at a loss

But I was reborn
I inched forward and now I'm coming out
By staying silent
I finally understood
The things I couldn’t express

In life
Meeting the perfect
Person for you
Is rare, isn’t it?
If I let this chance
Slip by
I’ll regret it
I can’t start too late
It’s all or nothing

I want screentime
I want screentime
I want screentime!
In this love
I want screentime
More
I want to talk
A longer time together
With you
So I won’t be edited out
Notice my good points!

Cause I don’t want to stand out in a weird way
I’m afraid of bombing it, but
If I’m ignored
And have no presence
I’ll be extremely sad

In this moment
I feel determined
I’ll do anything
I want to impress you
Because it seems that
I have many rivals
Even if I lose face
I don’t even care
Smash me into pieces!

I want screentime
I want screentime
I want screentime!
In talks
I want screentime
A place to show my skill
I have to say something
Interesting…
It’s not good enough to be half in frame
I want to be
Your girlfriend

Even if someone tells me
That I’m standing out too much
Instead of risk aversion
I’ll give it all I have!
Because I probably won’t get
Another chance
To get with you
I have to win your heart!
It’s a serious battle

I want screentime
I want screentime
I want screentime!
In this love
I want screentime
More
I want to talk
A longer time together
With you
So I won’t be edited out
Notice my good points!

そっけない

不安げな仲間たちと

扉の向こう側から
大きな拍手と歓声
憧れてた先輩が

ずっと見てた夢が
やっと近くに来た
いつの日か　あの場所で
つらくても苦しくても…
もっと手を伸ばして
一番輝いた
星になる

Wow Wow Yeah!

次々に
誰かが呼ばれて行く
ため息にこの部屋が
広く思えた

私には
何が足りないのだろう
いっぱい努力もしたし
これ以上
どうすればいい?

同期のあのメンバーが
期待の星と言われてる
確かに私が見ても
オーラ出してて　悔しかった

大好きなステージへ
上がれる日　信じてる
ここであきらめたら
何も始まらない
大好きなステージへ
悲しくて凹んでも
前を向いて行こう
一番　最後の
星になろう

いつの日か　あの場所で
歌ったり踊りたい
ずっと見てた夢が
やっと近くに来た
いつの日か　あの場所で
遠回りしていても
同じゴールなんだ
たった一つの

How long
Have I been waiting here?
How many pages of the calendar
Have I turned over?

In this cold room
Are just chairs and a table
And me with my anxious friends
Whose names
Still haven’t been called

From beyond the door
Come the sounds of applause and cheers
The seniors I admire
Shone even brighter than the sun

Someday in that place
I want to sing and dance
The dream I’ve always longed for
Has finally drawn near
Someday in that place
Even if it’s difficult and frustrating…
I’ll reach ever further for it
And become
The brightest star

Wow wow yeah!

One by one
Someone is called up
With a sigh, this room
Seems to have gotten bigger

Is there something
That I’m lacking?
I’ve been giving it my best too
Is there anything more
I can do than this?

Some members of the same status as me
Are called anticipated stars
Certainly even when I look at them
I can see their aura, and it’s frustrating

I believe in the day
When I can stand on my beloved stage
If I give up here
Nothing will begin
For my beloved stage
Even when I’m sad or depressed
I’ll face forward
And become
The very last star

Someday in that place
I want to sing and dance
The dream I’ve always longed for
Has finally drawn near
Someday in that place
Even if I’m taking the long way there
The goal is the same
I’ll become
The one and only star

If I reach for it, it’ll disappear
A fragile vestige left on the sand
Even loving you this much
I’m not satisfied with this frustration

Even so
I’ll throw away everything
And put my all into this foolish behavior
That’s about all I can do
For you

Red Ruby
They call it
“Pigeon Blood”
A gem more valuable than life
Red Ruby
I cut myself with a knife
To confirm the color of the real stone

Ah~ My expectations
Sleeping
Under the ground
Are avaricious desires
Ah~ We struggled for
Days long passed
Our legacy is
On a road to destruction

No matter what I do, I can’t destroy it
The stubborn stone in your chest
It’s somehow different from before
It’s too beautiful, like it’s all fake

So I swung
The iron hammer
Brought it down full force
But, realizing the futility
Nothing changed

Ill-natured Ruby
Uncontrollable
“True Blood”
A gem that can’t speak of the future
Ill-natured Ruby
The past is always ugly
It can never belong to anyone

Ah~ Our ancestors
They knew
Both the position of the moon
And the answer to this mystery
Ah~ The color of pigeon’s blood
The rawness
Is something
That even instincts can’t refuse

The light that deceived me
Was the sparkle of your coldness
The devilishness you chose to grab hold of
Might be killed by love
Yeah

Red Ruby
They call it
“Pigeon Blood”
A gem more valuable than life
Red Ruby
I cut myself with a knife
To confirm the color of the real stone

Ah~ My expectations

Ah~ We struggled for
Days long passed
Our legacy is

Yuuhi Marie ("Sunset Marie")

Spoiler

In a park
Overlooking the Hudson River
She was always there, sitting on a bench
While being buffeted by the wind
The woman
Would quietly gaze at the western sky

What had she lost
And what did she obtain?
I asked my heart
This question

Sunset Marie
Someone calls her that
Her frail back
Made golden hued
That’s Marie
Oh setting sun,
This day, for one day
Did she find happiness?

The first star of the evening waits somewhere
Until the container ships
Become shadows
At times laughing, at times crying
The woman
Alone knows the end of her dream

The things she wanted to do
The things she has left to do
If she counts them up
Tomorrow will arrive

Sunset Marie
They say she’s around here somewhere
No one knows
Her real name
That’s Marie
It’s like the name doesn’t fit her
No matter what kind of day today is
She’s glad to be alive

Sunset Marie
Someone calls her that
She stares into the distance
With a gentle gaze
Marie, probably
Even wrapped in darkness
Today, for one day
Was happy
