Kimi wa melody - translation:

AKB48 - You’re a Melody

Spoiler

The sun’s rays are transformed by the magic of spring
And the city and its people alike look refreshing in their new clothes
Invited by the wind, I hum without realising
Our favourite song that I’d already forgotten
It draws me towards those memories in the far past
Why did this song enter my mind so suddenly?

My affection has always been patiently waiting its turn
I can hear the white noise of the radio
Crossing over and through time…

You’re a melody, a melody
A nostalgic harmony, a harmony
Instead of telling you how I felt
I held back the pain in my chest
You’re my melody, melody
But I can only remember the chorus
Those heartrending, sparkling days of my youth
Are coming back to me once again

The two of us would walk down the main street
Out into the side roads, lost in our youth
Without realising, we grew up
And stopped listening to those songs
I was always looking for something new
But now, it's as if the music is asking me
If there was something I forgot all along

If there’s something that coincidence teaches us
It’s that even when life doesn't play out as planned
A hibernating love can always wake again…

Those sweet memories, memories
And those dreamt-about glory days, glory days
That promise for eternity
Was swallowed up by our goodbye
Suddenly those memories, memories
Are turning shadows vivid once more
Unconsciously, I’m still softly
Humming that song

Have you looked back and remembered too, I wonder
The hit song from those days
That was always playing

You’re a melody, a melody
A nostalgic harmony, a harmony
Instead of telling you how I felt
I held back the pain in my chest
You’re my melody, melody
But I can only remember the chorus
Even now, I’m filled
With those bittersweet feelings

This melody, melody
I’m sure somewhere you’ll
Be humming it too
Time has been kind to these memories

One day you’ll be humming it too
That melody from long ago

 

there's so many

 

Then what do you want me / other people to do?

 

Well it's mostly in the early years of AKB, particularly the b sides. I'd love to know who's who singing the lines , but there are no colour codes for songs like Dakedo, Namida uri no shoujo, virgin love, etc. http://stage48.net/studio48/dakedo_single.html

I don't know if tsuki no katachi is correct or not, but some of the members are different compared to the DVD, example it shows lavendar coloured lyric "shoujo wa" sung by Kawasaki Nozomi, yet itano tomomi is singing that line in the DVD, same with micchan (Maimai in DVD) Kojiharus colour is bright green yet pale beige in the lyrics, they don't match http://stage48.net/studio48/tsukinokatachi.html

seifuku ga jama wo suru isn't on the A4 album

In the dear my teacher (album version) Acchan's lines sound like they're sung by kojiharu, and it's difficult to read what english lyrics match up with the romaji ones http://stage48.net/studio48/dearmyteacher.html

In A5 "kenkyuusei" can be replaced with nonako misato's name http://stage48.net/studio48/manatsunochristmasrose.html
Futsuu no anata, cli cli (shouldn't it be kuri kuri!??),ganbarina, best by, has no colour codes http://stage48.net/studio48/futsuunoanata.html http://stage48.net/studio48/clicli.html

There are no colour codes for the 2nd and 3rd SDN gen. stage songs, haruka kohara should be listed in the the duet unit "I'm sure" and every other stage song ito kana is since she's been in the group longer and is in the DVD



That's all I can find for now, and I also have a couple suggestions for stage48 wiki who do I talk to about that?

 

Many of the people who contributed colorcodes / lyrics translations for the very old AKB stuff are no longer in the fandom, so they can't be contacted about their works. It's possible they colorcoded those based on the members who were normally performing the stage at the time (I know there were substitutions on the DVDs, so you can't always rely on them for an original lineup).

Yes, there are some pretty questionable translations for a lot of the songs on Studio48. It's the site's policy not to turn down any submission made in good faith (with a few exceptions).
You are always more than welcome to make an additional translation to add to the site, however. You can submit them here and @haruna_hamasaki will add them when she gets to it

 

Please do, I apologize if it's a bother it's just irritating when something's incorrect especially with OCD ^^;

 

The position is a kenkyuusei position because Team A was 15nin at the time and no one was ever promoted.

 

But many people will wonder who has the 16th spot in A5 studio recording

Do you know who I can talk to about stage48 wiki i have a couple ideas

 

The members of the studio recording are written on the wiki. It was Kohara Haruka, not Nonaka, by the way.

 

In the DVD yes, but if you listen to the album it's nonaka.

 

where's the wiki thread

 

@Jesse Açaí just to do a bit of legwork for you: http://stage48.net/forum/index.php?threads/stage48-wiki-organization-discussion.2539/

 

thank you

Can anyone translate Mazariaumono?

and
http://blog.livedoor.jp/akbg_kashi/archives/55272156.html

 

As far as I know, the official lyrics for the single are not out until the single is released. Personally, I don't do translations until the single has been released and the lyrics are verified. I imagine translations for it will be rolling in within the next 7 days as the single's official release date is in a few days. If no one else beats me to it, I'll translate the songs from this single.

AKB48 - You're a Melody

The sun’s rays are transformed by the magic of spring
And the city and its people alike look refreshing in their new clothes
Invited by the wind, I hum without realising
Our favourite song that I’d already forgotten
It draws me towards those memories in the far past
Why did this song enter my mind so suddenly?

My affection has always been patiently waiting its turn
I can hear the white noise of the radio
Crossing over and through time…

You’re a melody, a melody
A nostalgic harmony, a harmony
Instead of telling you how I felt
I held back the pain in my chest
You’re my melody, melody
But I can only remember the chorus
Those heartrending, sparkling days of my youth
Are coming back to me once again

The two of us would walk down the main street
Out into the side roads, lost in our youth
Without realising, we grew up
And stopped listening to those songs
I was always looking for something new
But now, it's as if the music is asking me
If there was something I forgot all along

If there’s something that coincidence teaches us
It’s that even when life doesn't play out as planned
A hibernating love can always wake again…

Those sweet memories, memories
And those dreamt-about glory days, glory days
That promise for eternity
Was swallowed up by our goodbye
Suddenly those memories, memories
Are turning shadows vivid once more
Unconsciously, I’m still softly
Humming that song

Have you looked back and remembered too, I wonder
The hit song from those days
That was always playing

You’re a melody, a melody
A nostalgic harmony, a harmony
Instead of telling you how I felt
I held back the pain in my chest
You’re my melody, melody
But I can only remember the chorus
Even now, I’m filled
With those bittersweet feelings

This melody, melody
I’m sure somewhere you’ll
Be humming it too
Time has been kind to these memories

One day you’ll be humming it too
That melody from long ago

LALALA Message

Spoiler

Next-Gen Senbatsu - LALALA Message

La la la la la la…
Let’s sing together
La la la la la la…
My friend

The world may be big
But you can be heard if you raise your voice
A wind can cross over
The borders that separate nations
When we hear of tragedy
On the news
Is there anything that we can do?

Instead of just crying from far away
Stand up together

A message in a lalala
Let’s sing it together
Uniting our hearts
A message in a lalala
Even if our languages may differ
We’ll still be able to understand one another’s
Song of love

La la la la la la…
With a smile
La la la la la la...
Towards the future

Silence will only
Deepen the sadness
Remember that
You’re not alone
Living is not just
Something done for yourself
But is instead to help others

Instead of spreading our your arms when they can’t reach
Let’s start walking forward from now on

Lalala is the password
When we sing it together
It can bring vigour back to a person
Lalala is the password
Just singing it is enough
To bring warmth to our feelings

The songs collected
From all around
Everyone will realise that
This great big world carries our hope

A message in a lalala
Let’s sing it together
Uniting all hearts together
A message in a lalala
Even if our languages may differ
We’ll still be able to understand one another’s
Song of love

La la la la la la…
Let’s sing together
La la la la la la…
My friend

Gonna Jump

Spoiler

SKE48 - Gonna Jump

Hey, if you love me
Jump up from where you are!
I can’t see you from here
So make sure you stand out when you love me

No matter what you call out
It’s swallowed by the noise of the city
I can’t hear it clearly
You won’t get your feelings across like that

If you’re embarrassed, then don’t even bother!
At least show some enthusiasm

Hey, if you love me
Then stop hesitating and jump!
Show me you can leap
Higher than anyone else
And make sure I can see that you’re here
Hey, if you love me
Jump with all your might!
Give me more of that craziness!
And surprise me with how much you love me!

You need to take action
Or nothing will happen
Your dreams will remain as merely dreams
Appeal to me with your assertion

You’re becoming lost in the crowd
Your affection’s gonna go unnoticed

So if you’re serious about this
Jump up right now!
Use the depth of your love for me
As the strength in your spring
Extending your hands towards the blue sky
So if you’re serious about this
Put your life into this jump!
Be more daring
And astonish me with how much you love me!

Gonna jump!
Gonna jump!
Do it for me
Gonna jump!
Gonna jump!
With all your energy
Kick out from the ground and into space
Right now
Channel the feelings you’ve kept hidden in your heart
All into this single jump!

Hey, if you love me
Then stop hesitating and jump!
Show me you can leap
Higher than anyone else
And make sure I can see that you’re here
Hey, if you love me
Jump with all your might!
Give me more of that craziness!
And surprise me with how much you love me!

NMB48 - The Youth I Clung to

I visited the grounds of my high school once again
After a number of years
An underclassman whose name I didn’t know
Was sweating through the summer
I heard that he’d been dropped from the lineup
Of our hallowed school soccer team
Fidgety with restlessness
I took a peek at his soccer practice

I was surprised by who I saw
Sitting in the stands
Wearing a dress that made her look mature
It was the team manager from those days long past

That was
The youth that I clung to
A glory that was covered in scars
I’ll probably never get fired up
The way I did then
Looking back on that radiance
The days that we sped through
I’ll keep going with all my might
Into tomorrow…

I stood nearby and watched
The practice to the end
Watching the uniforms pass by
Made me feel nostalgic
I quietly wondered
If calling something out
From where I stood
Would help them win in the next match

“I understand your frustration
But if they don’t find it on their own
They won’t win the national championships”
Murmured the beauty

Yes, they will
Cling to their youth
They’ll understand after tasting hardship
And learn how to get back up
After their tears have flowed
The rivals they’ll want to overcome,
The defeat they will experience
And the ensuing bitterness will become their strength
Break through with your recklessness
Towards your dreams…

One day the underclassmen
Will watch over a new generation
And teach them
The important of seizing the day

That was
The youth that I clung to
A glory that was covered in scars
I’ll probably never get fired up
The way I did then
Looking back on that radiance
The days that we sped through
I’ll keep going with all my might
Into tomorrow…

Make noise

HKT48 - Make Noise

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

Like a jet-black doberman
Baring its fangs
He appeared suddenly
Intimidating me

I don’t remember ever being loved
Living through life alone
I know only how to distrust
With the dark glance I send others

What expression should I wear when I cry?
I was always waiting for someone
Having never been taught
How to depend on another
Too scared to place my trust in people
I chained myself up
Unable to move from where i was
Tamed like an animal

Whoa whoa whoa whoa
Whoa whoa whoa whoa

My breathing becomes ragged
When I look up at the pale moon
The beautiful things in this world
Are all out of my reach

Dreams are merely fleeting
Disappearing just like that
You’re better off not bothering with them
From the very start…

I began growing stronger
From the moment I gave up
On everything in this world

I don’t care how it sounds
I’ll never have anyone to love
”I don’t need anyone”
Your words cause me to put up a front
Even if I grit my teeth and bear through

The tears fall on their own
One day I’ll escape somewhere
As long as it’s anywhere but here

What expression should I wear when I cry?
I was always waiting for someone
Having never been taught
How to depend on another
Too scared to place my trust in people
I chained myself up
Unable to move from where i was
Tamed like an animal

NGT48 - The Max Toki No. 315 Bullet Train

Once we exit that last tunnel
We’ll begin the approach to a beautiful town
Where I’d always believed that hope resided
I was born here and I grew up here
And I want to show you everything about it

The night we met
I promised
That I’d bring to my hometown
The most important person in my life

What the future holds
Is always kinder than what we expect
The scenery suddenly begins to blur
My dreams are coming true
And as my affections for you spills over
I feel like telling you from the pupils of my eyes
That I want to walk by your side

The changing of the seasons
Is similar to how we grow and mature
As the flowers around us bloom
The worries that preoccupy us from time to time
Are bringing us to adulthood

Underneath that far away sky
I was being watched over
That presence
Had become my rock

We wait for what the future holds
Without knowing what shape it will take
To avoid spitting out our discontent
Love means being able to
Shed tears for others
I’m mulling over my happiness

Even the thickest of snows will melt
New buds will sprout from the ground
Sadness and pain will change
Into joy and smiles
And tomorrow will come no matter what

What the future holds
Is always kinder than what we expect
The scenery suddenly begins to blur
My dreams are coming true
And as my affections for you spills over
I feel like telling you from the pupils of my eyes
That I want to walk by your side

NogizakaAKB - A Mixture

No matter how beautiful separate colours may be
They become tainted once mixed together
I obstinately turned my back
And put up a barrier, saying I didn’t need friends

“I can live through life alone
I want to become a stronger person”
Breathing these words, I looked out through the window
Before long I stopped hearing anyone else’s voice
And just as I had found a world meant only for me…

Why is it
That you appeared so suddenly?
Blending in with my heart just by existing
I can finally accept the colours of another
That I had refused until now
You and I are a mixture
That I have never seen or felt before

I’d gotten used to strangers
Secretly whispering and pointing at me
Those colours weren’t mine
They all blended into a single mass that I rejected

What exactly does it mean to be a friend?
Does it mean mimicking similar colours
And flocking together in a calculated manner?
If you can only make friends by smoothing over the bumps
Than I’d rather live in solitude

Even so, why is it
That you started talking to me?
I had forgotten how to speak to others
But you made me remember what love is
Casually creeping into my heart
Like a wind impervious to resistance
The two of us are a single mixture

Why is it
That you appeared so suddenly?
Blending in with my heart just by existing
I can finally accept the colours of another
That I had refused until now
You and I are a mixture
That I have never seen or felt before
