Guruguru Curtain lyrics

Spoiler

「ぐるぐるカーテン」
Lyrics: 秋元康　(Akimoto Yasushi)
Music: 黒須勝彦　(Kurosu Katsuhiko)
Arrange: 湯浅篤　(Yuasa Atsushi)

カーテンの中　太陽と彼女と私
ぐるぐる包まれた　プライバシー
何を話してるのか？　教えないよ

何となく落ち着くの　教室の特等席
仲のいい友達と　２人きりの世界よ
「あのね」「私ね」ぴったり身体寄せ
ひとつになったら　何だって わかり合える

カーテンの中　そよ風と花の香りと
ぬくもりを包む　シークレット
誰に恋したのか
そうよ　女の子なら
いつだって　死角になる場所くらい
こんな時のために　確保してる
男子禁制

たいていはふざけてる　私たちの毎日だけど
おもいっきり泣きたくて　ここに来ることもある
「平気」「大丈夫」心に近づいて
涙を拭ったり　抱きしめて　聞いてあげる

カーテンの中　太陽と彼女と私
ぐるぐる巻かれた　プライバシー
内緒話するの
きっと　男の子たち
さりげなく　耳をそばだてて
どきどきしながら　聞いてるでしょう
ガールズトーク

開いた窓　吹き込んだ風が
胸の奥のカーテン
恋の妄想膨らませてる

カーテンの中　そよ風と花の香りと
ぬくもりのを包む　シークレット
誰に恋したのか
そうよ　女の子なら
いつだって　死角になる場所くらい
こんな時のために　確保してる
男子禁制

Curtain no naka taiyou to kanojo to watashi
Guruguru tsutsumareta privacy
Nani wo hanashiteru no ka? Oshienai yo

Nantonaku ochitsuku no kyoushitsu no tokutouseki
Naka no ii tomodachi to futari kiri no sekai yo
"Ano ne" "Watashi ne" pittari karada yose
Hitotsu ni nattara nan datte wakariaeru

Curtain no naka soyo kaze to hana no kaori to
Nukumori wo tsutsumu secret
Dare ni koi shita no ka
Sou yo onna no ko nara
Itsu datte shikaku ni naru basho kurai
Konna toki no tame ni kakuho shiteru
Danshi kinsei

Taitei wa fuzaketeru watashitachi no mainichi dakedo
Omoikkiri nakitakute koko ni kuru koto mo aru
"Heiki" "Daijoubu" kokoro ni chikazuite
Namida wo nuguttari dakishimete kiite ageru

Curtain no naka taiyou to kanojo to watashi
Guruguru makareta privacy
Naisho banashi suru no
Kitto otoko no kotachi
Sarigenaku mimi wo sobadatete
Dokidoki shinagara kiiteru deshou
Girls' talk

Hiraita mado fukikonda kaze ga
Mune no oku no curtain
Koi no mousou fukuramaseteru

Curtain no naka soyo kaze to hana no kaori to
Nukumori wo tsutsumu secret
Dare ni koi shita no ka
Sou yo onna no ko nara
Itsu datte shikaku ni naru basho kurai
Konna toki no tame ni kakuho shiteru
Danshi kinsei

Part of the making-of. (=P)

i don't think putting 2 3 members on the cover of every versions is a good idea [wonder] since they have 4 versions & 16 senbatsu, why not just divide them fairly

 

Thanks.

Shiraishi Mai's batting

She got me to notice her with this, I do really like a girl who can play a sport, and keep a girlyness to them at the same time. [clap]

 

First I saw her make basketball look easy and now this! What a sports girl. Looks like she's the right choice among the Nogizaka46 girls.

Go for it Maiyan.

 

The girls do have talent.

Mashimoto, did well as well .. smelling the clothes to identify the members.

But what I didn't like was the fact the MC was showing the "middle finger" during her segment, when she was blindfolded .. I think that is a bit rude for him to do so. (my 2 cents)

 

Yeah, the true meaning isn't really known let alone as offensive in Japan, than lets say, the U.S.

 

Nogizaka46’s debut single to come with a short movie digest
(Tokyohive's translation of the natalie's article on this, caramujo has already covered this. A little addition won't hurt the thread.)

 

I've just watched the GuruGuruCurtain PV yesterday...And now i'm in love with Nogizaka46..

The cutest group from 48bigfamily
The song keeps repeated on my head :music:

 

^

Sakurai Reika is the temporary captain (暫定キャプテン), announced on the latest episode (12.02.05), chosen by the management.
(they also showed on the episode that, among the 16 senbatsu members, 8 voted for Reika as the member that would fit the leadership role)

And part of the PV for Nogizaka no Uta (3rd track of Type A) (all 33 members)
[yt]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fLmPca4XKI[/yt]

 

It's just me that some of the part is like bingo! in slow theme, and at the the of the wow remind me of 10nen sakura.... [think] [think] [think] [think]

 

I hope i dont hurt people when i say this but...

nogizaka cant be the official rival group of akb48 because they dont stand a chance because they don't have this awesome captain called TAKAHASHI MINAMI
