Heavenly Psycho

Forever in the state of not being chosen by dreams
The days passing with the rising and setting of the sun
Even if I disappeared from here
The world would easily keep on turning

But like this, our hands are entwined
We are not alone, right?

In my heart, Heavenly Psycho
Now I'm on the road towards the future
Not letting the tears confuse me
I sing my wishes

An ordinary question's answer
If it's a tomorrow I can be forgiven for, I don't need it
Saying that, I forced a way out
The limits to how far I could go disappeared

I want us to understand, even if we have worries, and laugh together

In my dreams, Heavenly Psycho
Only my screams echoed in the sky
So no matter how many times, I'll try and see
Song of hope

I'll push through the darkness in front of my eyes until I reach there

While my memories tremble, the sun rises again

In my heart, Heavenly Psycho
Now I'm on the road towards the future
Not letting the tears confuse me
I sing my wishes

In my dreams, Heavenly Psycho
Only my screams echoed in the sky
So no matter how many times, I'll try and see
Song of hope

Song of hope

The bonds of family bind both ways.
*takes a cigarette and lights it*
They bind us up, support us, help us.
And they are also a bond from which it is difficult, perhaps im
possible to extricate oneself.
My late brother being a case in point.
Had we not been family, why then we could have had nothing to do with each other,
and
both our lives would have been enriched.
Instead we were siblings.
And this was to say the
least, unfortunate.
Still, he is gone.
He never had sense enough to come in out of the rain.
But he is gone.

*exhales tendrils of smoke*
That's all I have to say.
*smile*

"Oh," she thought, "How horrible it is that people have to grow up - and marry - and change!"

Anne, Anne of the Island ~ L.M.Montgomery
Interview question: What do you want KAT-TUN to be like in the future?
Kame: I think we'd like to be like the ocean.
The six of us are all different types of rivers, with different shapes and speeds.
And these rivers find a way to a place called KAT-TUN
*AT-TUN looks at Kame kind of amazed*
And there are no oil spills there, or trash, and we will all keep on changing, every day.
So we would all like to become that kind of a beautiful ocean.
(looks smug and thinks to himself) Yes! That's perfect~
Jin and Koki: Boo! He planned this! I bet he is going to say something like "I'm joking!" in the end right?
Kame: Eh? I wasn't going to say that!
Koki and Jin: *kind of frozen in place*
Jin: But it's also important to us to know... that all the members are enjoying themselves.
Ueda: *getting all fired up and sparkly* It's like there's never been a group like us before!
Like, an impossible sort of group! It's like we are heading world wide!
Breaking out of all limitations easily!

Kame: You have got to be kidding...
Nakamaru: Even though all have individual work, we always return to being together. So it's like that is our goal; our meeting place.
KA-UN: How about you guys? Koki and Taguchi?
Koki and Junno: *together at the same time* I think its fine the way it is.
KA-UN: *falls dramatically*
Koki: Uwaa! They are actually in sync!
Taguchi: Only in these type of things!
Ueda: *recovering slightly* Taguchi... What happend to your service?
Kame: *looking frazzled* You're making the writer cry!
Taguchi: But, I really like it the way it is now! We won't actually know where we end up in the future, even if we think about it now. For now, everyone is watching us, even the news, we don't really have much freedom. This is a hard world.
Koki: I think in KAT-TUN, it's important to become free, and do all the things we want to do.
Nakamaru: Yeah, you actually become violent during concerts! *refering to Kaizoku captain Koki*
Koki: Yep! It's the best! *thumbs up sign*

(KAT-TUN):
But whatever shape we become, KAT-TUN won't really change, and that's good!
Yeah, we'll probably do something stupid till the end!
True!

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga
Jin: (to himself) Kame was with me in Gokusen, but this time I'm by myself.
It'll be different from before, and it seems fresh in a new environment.
From Gokusen to Anego, it was hard for me because it was one ofter the other.
Plus my life style changed...
Waking up at 3 a.m. shower, and then go to the set at 4 a.m. Then record until 3 a.m.
It made no sense at all! I don't know!
*lying his head down on his bag*
Urgh, I've had enough of this.
*cell phone starts to ring*
Urgh make it silent...
*cell phone stops ringing*
I always lose my temper when I don't have enough sleep, and my motivation goes down and then I get angry at myself for being like this.
Why am I getting angry over somthing like this?
I'm being stupid!
(outloud) I'm a small person.
Koki: Yeah, we already know that you're that kind of a person.
Ueda: Why are you making an announcement out of it now?
Jin: HUH? *annoyed*
But wearing the suit in Anego does make me look more adult...
KT-TUN: But that's just because of the suit! You look older, but inside you're still a kid! It's your fault!
That's bad!
Jin: . . . *pfftish*
Junno: But that's just the way you are and there's nothing wrong with it, Akanishi-kun!
Nakamaru: No ones expecting anything different from you now!
KT-TUN: *grinning supportively*
Jin: *kinda shocked before breaking into a sparkly grin* Haha~ You idiots~
(to himself again)
I found out that I didn't need words like 'Good Luck", but just words like this.
When I'm with the other five of them, it's okay to be the useless me.

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga
Koki: *upon realizing that he has to share the room with Jin*
It's Akanishi!!
I wanted to stay calm and peaceful...
Inside my own world...
But I'm with Akanishi until next morning!
Stuck with Akanishi until morning!
Jin: *blabbing while they are in their beds*
I wanted to do fireworks with my friend one day, but it was raining.
But we still wanted to do it so we went outside, and then the rain stopped!
And then after we finished with the fireworks, the rain started to fall again!
Isn't it cool? I think it was destiny!
Koki: *thinks from where he is lying wit his back to Jin*
Why is he so hyper at night?!
And it's nothing like destiny!
Jin: Koki, did you fall asleep?
. . .
To tell the truth, I actually feel really good when I come back to KAT-TUN after I do my job alone.. ^_^
*suddenly shaking Koki a bit to see if he's really asleep*
Koki? Did you really fall asleep?!
Koki: *blushes and fakes snoring*

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga
Jin: Oh yeah, so how are we going to choose roommates?
Kame: Taguchi is with me!
Nakamaru: I want Taguchi too!
*heated discussion*
Junno: I guess its difficult to be popular!
KA-TUN: No! It's not that!
Nakamaru: It's just that you fold our clothes and make it neat!
Jin: Staying with Taguchi makes me feel good because it's so clean~
*Atmosphere of a showdown between KA-TUN, with Junno grining happily in the midst of it*

Harukana Yakusoku ~ KAT-TUN Official Manga
Kame: Where's my pillow?!
Nakamaru: Ah, Me, I'm using it. *lying on kame's pillow as well as his own*
Kame: Give it back!
Nakamaru: *ignores*
Kame: *majorly annoyed* GIVE IT BACK!! It's not even funny!!
Nakamaru: *STILL ignores*
Kame: *snaps*
*start ~> fight!*
Koki: *looks up a bit from where he's lying down and thinks* Again...
Jin: Tsk tsk, I can't belive you guys fight over such tiny things!

Later on...

Jin: Huh? Does anyone know where my Dried Squid is?
*notices it sticking out of Maru's mouth and explodes, grabing his collar*
Nakamaru! Stop eating my dried squid!
Nakamaru: Well you ate my Sweet Jelly the last time!
*start ~> fight!*
Kame: Tsk tsk, I can't belive you guys fight over such tiny things.
Ueda and Koki: You too!
Junno: It's pretty normal in KAT-TUN *calmly munching on something*

Hallowed Be Thy Name

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the gallows pole
The sands of time for me are running low

When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me

Can it be there's some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream

Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
Its not so easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears they flow but why am I crying
After all I am not afraid of dying
Dont believe that there is never an end

As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Someone calls from a cell God be with you
If there's a God then why has he let me die?

As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the end is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul cos its willing to fly away

Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
Ive gone beyond to see the truth

When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
~Iron Maiden

November Rain

When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If you take the time
to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you are mine,
All mine

So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain

Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you?

[solo]

Sometimes I need some time...on my
own
Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...
on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone

And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way

'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
~ Guns n Roses

The Scorpion

My life is everything
That feeds my thirst that causes sin
My wants are all I care
No shame and guilt, there's nothing there
Look deep into my face
I sell deceit without a trace
Fear not what I can do
Unless you want it done to you, oh-ohhh!

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh

My self I'm centered in
There's nothing else, there's never been
And I dream, to be left alone
With the sadness, the madness of my own
Look deep into my soul
It's black as coal like a bullet hole
Fear not, get off your knees
There's no defense, you'll do what I please, oh-oh!

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
Then I treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
You pretend you didn't know that I am a scorpion, oh

As I climb onto your back, I will promise not to sting
I will tell you what you want to hear and not mean anything
I will treat you like a dog as I shoot my venom in
'Cause you knew all along I am a scorpion, ya!

My lies, to reach the shore
I aggrandize and nothing more
My hopes, to steal away
All that you love, you I'll soon betray
Look deep into my past
The pain I deal is unsurpassed
I'm not a lowly scorpion
I'm so much worse; I'm the fall of man
~Megadeth

A Tout Le Monde

Don't remember where I was
I realized life was a game
The more seriously I took things
The harder the rules became
I had no idea what it'd cost
My life passed before my eyes
I found out how little I accomplished
All my plans denied

So as you read this know my friends
Id love to stay with you all
Please smile when you think of me
My bodys gone thats all

A tout le monde
A tout les amis
Je vous aime
Je dois partir
There are the last words
Ill ever speak
And they'll set me free

If my heart was still alive
I know it would surely break
And my memories left with you
There's nothing more to say

Moving on is a simple thing
What it leaves behind is hard
You know the sleeping feel no more pain
And the living are scarred
~Megadeth

What may not be expected in a country of eternal light?

Robert Walton, Frankenstein ~ Mary Shelley

Diamonds and Rust

Ill be damned, here comes your ghost again
But that's not unusual
Its just that the moon is full
And you decided to call

And here I sit, hand on the telephone
Hearing the voice I'd known
A couple of light years ago
Headed straight for a fall

But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Now I see you standing with brown leaves all around and snow in your hair
Now were smiling out the window of the crummy hotel over Washington square
Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air
Speaking strictly for me we both could've died then and there

Now you're telling me you're not nostalgic
Then give me another word for it
You were so good with words
And at keeping things vague

Cause I need some of that vagueness now
Its all come back too clearly, yes, I love you dearly
And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, Ive already paid

But we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust
Yes we both know what memories can bring
They bring diamonds and rust

Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
Diamonds, diamonds and rust
~Judas Priest
I have no friend, Margaret: when I am glowing with the enthusiasm of success, there will be none to participate my joy; if I am assailed by disappointment, no one will endeavor to sustain me in dejection.

T∀BOO

As if trapped under a long spell, we slept, on that heartbreaking night
Freedom went out of reach, allured by by mermaids, into the deep ocean we fell, AH

The cold water drove my heart insane, even by huddling closer I cannot put myself at ease
PARANOIA, THINK OF YOU, just the two of us for company: Fate swallowed by the glittering waves

(I WILL SEE THROUGH YOUR SECRET) Crime and Punishment
(I WILL SEE THROUGH YOUR SECRET) Tearing the moon
The moment these hands open the devil's door, the resolution to drown in you

Deep and long ECSTASY, naked emotions going CRAZY
We cannot return to the tempting seaside a second time; giving into the night sea, AH

If you realize, by us becoming one like a pair of wings, we cannot do anything but swim,
CANT STOP LOVING YOU putting up the cross, forever holding fast to protecting you, AH

(I WILL SEE THROUGH YOUR SECRET) Dark Nectar
(I WILL SEE THROUGH YOUR SECRET) Beginning to start

In eternal corruption the two of us will be entwined together, screaming only for your sake
(I WILL SEE THROUGH YOUR SECRET) Crime and Punishment
(I WILL SEE THROUGH YOUR SECRET) Tearing the moon

The moment these hands open the door of fate, I'll grasp the light until the ends of the ocean

~ KAT-TUN [Queen of Pirates]

Family Tree

Forgotten things remembered
The tigers eat their young
The body stayed but inside the head
The mind was on the run
A conspiracy of silence
The only way out of pain
Is turn around, run through it man
Too wet to come in from the rain,
Tell them...

I know they were doing it to you
But dont try doing it to me

Let me show you, how I love you
Its our secret, you and me
But keep it in the family tree
The secret of the family tree

When you hear them saying trust me
Dont wait to see whats next
Thrown to the wolves
Forever trusting
Raised in a form of living hell
Sing a one note song of rage
Live and die within your heart
So beware in the shadows

Your family tree waits in the dark
I say...

~ Megadeth

Ryo & Ueda Letters

Ueda:
Dear Nishikido,
The first time I spoke to you was when you had come to an event we were both involved in.
I wondered why you had friends with such hobbies.
But after seeing you many times, I noticed how hard you try in your work.
I thought that you were a very serious person who does what he has to well.
During Domoto Koichi-kun's "SHOCK"musical, I further noticed your passion for your work.
I didn't say it, but that was when I first thought you were cool at singing.
I respected you.
*they exchange looks and try not to smile*
I figured that must be why people flock around you.
I thought it must have been hard both physically and time-wise for you to do "SHOCK" soon after finishing Kanjani8's and NEWS's concerts.
Although I cannot often say this honestly, since we became better friends, I'm happy.

*they look at each other, Ryochan is embarrassed and Ueda smiles before looking away shyly*

Ryo:
Okay, Ah, Thanks. I'll read mine now.

Greetings, Lord Ueda Tatsuya.
When I think about it, the first time I met you was years ago, when we were back dancers for our senior's concert.
At that time I thought you were a depressing person with negative thoughts.
*Adorable Ueda smile~*
That was my first impression of you.
We hung out together back then, right? That's what I recall.
As time passed, we had no chances to see each other much and before I knew it, you were working hard as KAT-TUN's 'U'.
*Ueda smiles yet again~*
But at that time you had blonde hair and white skin.
I looked at your unimaginably strange transformation,
*
Ueda's adorable smile KILLS*
and this is what I thought.

"This kid, what the hell is he trying to be?"
Sorry.
The place I put these thoughts into words was in here in Osaka.
From then on, 'The Shounen Club' somehow became a battlefield for Nishikido vs Ueda.
I tried too hard and said some mean things without thinking and hurt your feelings.
*looks at Ueda and nods meaningfully*
I'm sorry.
Recently, in Osaka, we were together in the 'Dream Boys' musical, right?
The free time we had between shows was fun.
From now on too, lets continue being good enemies.
I'm sorry for various stuff.
Thanks, from Nishikido Ryo.

Yamapi & Jin Letters

Jin:
Dear Yamashita Tomohisa,
Everyone says that Yamashita is mature, but when we're playing, he is totally different.
He is more energetic than anyone to the point of being annoyingly loud.
But you know, I am the person who knows what really goes on in his heart.
He is lonelier than anyone, but he refuses to admit it to anyone.
*Yamapi smiles gently at that*
That's why he is naturally so reclusive.
He acts that way because he starts thinking about the loneliness of saying 'bye bye' to that person as soon as he meets someone.
But, once, we had this huge fight and we said we would no longer be friends.
That time, walking home, I was seriously upset,
but then when I went home, I found you sitting there chatting and having dinner with my mom!
*Yamapi smiles and starts shaking his head from side to side adorably*
Whats more, you were even sitting on my chair!
Whats more, you didn't even say a single word to me!
Whats more, you went into my room before me and slept there!
What was that?
I think that things remaining that way for around three months was definitely strange.
*Both Pi and Jin smile adorably, and Jin starts again with an awkward-embarrassed laugh*
But even with your stubbornness and your loneliness... I still love you.
Umm.. Let's continue being friends.

Yamapi:
*has difficulty starting*
Umm, Dear Jin
Time flies.
It seems that this is the 6th Christmas we'll be spending together.
To be honest, my first impression of Jin was very bad.
*Jin smiles shyly*
I thought, "That guy is trying too hard to act cool."
But we soon became friends.
We are both very stubborn so we often fight.
We are petty and won't listen to reason.
That vice prevents either of us from being able to say "sorry".
But, when I stopped talking to you, I felt very lonely.
There were many times I thought, "I should apologize,"
but in the end I never said anything.
So, I've decided on what I want from Santa this year;
I want Akanishi Jin to have the courage to say "Sorry" to me-
*Jin looks kinda confused and says 'Oi'*
and, I want the courage to say that too.
From Yamashita Tomohisa

No Trust

She wanna get outta the car in the middle of the road
And her screaming and hollerin' is getting mighty old
She check every paper when you step out the room

Ain't go no trust in her mama
Ain't got no trust in her daddy
Ain't got no trust in her sister
And she ain't got trust in you

She want a simple life
She need a simple man
That don’t drink or smoke darlin'
Play in a rock & roll band
Oh, but she want you to hold her at night when shes lonely and blue

Ain't go no trust in her mama
Ain't got no trust in her daddy
Ain't got no trust in her sister
And she ain't got trust in you

Yeah she's a beautiful gal when she wanna be
But if you told her so darlin', she’d just disagree
Oh, she hates your job and what you want him to do

Ain't go no trust in her mama
Ain't got no trust in her daddy
Ain't got no trust in her sister
And she ain't got trust in you
~ The Black Keys
Tamaki: Then why do I have such a soft spot in my heart for her? Why do I think she's so adorable?
Hikaru and Kaoru: Erm... Highness? What are you saying?
Tamaki: *continues his monologue completely ignoring everyone* Why do I get so worked up when I see her with other guys?
If I'm not her father, then I have no right to come between the two of them...
But then, is it not a fathers love that quietly watches over and rejoices in the growth of his daughter?

No, no, that just brings me back to the paternal affection...
Hikaru: Uhmm.. Then why do you often have delusions about Haruhi being your wife?
Tamaki: W-Wouldn't a father always think there's never anyone good enough for his daughter besides himself? Is.. that wierd?
Kaoru: And why do you always try to prevent Haruhi from being kissed?
Tamaki: Is.. Is it so wrong to want to protect the purity of your daughters lips?
Hikaru: You know, Your Highness...

Set You Free

You hold on
to a love that’s gone
Run a mile
to see him smile
But you don’t know
he’s door to door
playin' you
for the fool
Let him go
walk out your door
And come to me
I'm gonna set you free

Now you look
and there you go
back to him,
he’s gonna do you in
Tear you down
and run you around
Treat you wrong
and then he's gone
Let him go
walk out your door
And come to me
I’m gonna set you free

You hold on
to love that’s gone
Run a mile
to see him smile
But you don’t know
he’s door to door
playin' you

Let him go
walk out your door
And come to me
I’m gonna set you free
I’ll set you free

She said, She said

She said - I know what it's like to be dead, I know what it is to be sad
And she's making me feel like I never was born

I said - who put all those things in your head, things that make me feel like I'm mad
And you're making me feel like I never was born

She said you don't understand what I've said
I said no, no, no you're wrong, when I was a boy -
Everything was right
Everything was right

I said even though you know what you know I know that I'm ready to leave
Cause you're makin' me feel like I never was born
She said
She said
She said

Precious One

Time goes by, we are
Repeating encounters and partings countless times

Here I am, someone's
kindness sustaining me, what have I lost sight of?
Counting the seasons which could have been, now
In the night all alone, what are you thinking?

Sometimes, I don't know why, loneliness, presses against my heart
I don’t want to be all alone, heartbroken
One day, Someday I don't know when
You will discover, the precious one
Look up at the sky, see?
A single Shining star

Tell me why, Why, are we seeking love like this, I wonder?

Ahh... The starlit sky is honest isn't it? Gently shining, adorning the night

Somewhere, somewhere there is, an important only one
You're not all alone anymore, not alone

Someday, you will meet, a fated someone you'll love
You will discover unexpectedly, that someone is there by your side

For an example, even if million years pass by
We never change No worries You’ll be alright
Your precious only one, you'll definitely meet so
One day you’ll find, on this star
I believe in love, forever

Sometimes, I don't know why, loneliness, presses against my heart
I don’t want to be all alone, heartbroken
Somewhere, somewhere there is, an important only one
You're not all alone anymore, not alone

Someday, you will meet, a fated someone you'll love
You will discover unexpectedly, that someone is there by your side
Is there by your side, You’ll meet your only one

Somewhere, somewhere there is, an important only one
You're not all alone anymore, not alone
Sometimes, I don't know why, loneliness, presses against my heart
I don’t want to be all alone, only one
~KAT-TUN

Blue Tuesday

[Yo baby, I love you, so please, please be my side]

This time, on Tuesday
I'm still waiting for your usual phone call

Already one, then two hours have passed
"I'll just wait for five more minutes" I keep thinking

If we say goodbye, we won't meet again, or call again
It became true, didn't it?

The warmth of our last night is now
Going further away, just like you, step after step
Laughing like that, crying like that
You who were always lonely, are no longer here
That town, that sea, even that night sky
Will all disappear

On the promised Weekend day
There will be two empty seats in the stadium, won't there?

I can't do anything, even remember
Grieving about the future, I think I'm going to stop that now

Only goodbye, will connect us for eternity
Even if we forget

[Baby won't you stay with me?]

When that profile of yours grew more adult-like
Although I didn't understand why, I was heartrendingly confused
Your voice on the last night we were together
I can hear it so clearly it seems as if its here now
That wind, that rain, even that crescent moon
Will all disappear

[Baby won't you stay with me?]

Towards days I've never seen, I'm walking
To the world where there 'us' exists

The warmth of the last night is now
Going further, just like you, step after step
Laughing like that, crying like that
You who were always lonely, are no longer here
That town, that sea, even that night sky
Will all disappear
~KAT-TUN

The Wind Is Calling Me Away

How can I sit through one more day,
For the wind is calling me away,
And I want to change with the leaves that fall,
But I'm here in school and I'm missing it all.

While leaves as bright as the sun fly by,
We add, subtract and multiply,
And none of these numbers make sense to me,
When the sky is as blue as the summer sea.

Oh, teacher, please let's race the leaves,
Let's jump in piles and climb the trees,
Let's add, subtract and multiply,
The wind, the leaves, and the deep blue sky.

You Can Do Better

I did my best,
But the teacher wrote,
In bright red,
"You can do better."

Now I'm sitting here,
Wondering,
How can I do better,
Than my best?

Teacher,
Could you do
What you ask us to do?

Could you
Sit beside a friend
And not speak too?

Terumi: Let me guess... You... Don't have any friends, do you?
Tanaka: You can tell, after all? You found out huh?
Well after all, when you get to a super human scale, you're pretty much on your own.
Like, Nobunaga... Galileo... Nobody understood them!
It's like all 'Great People' are destined to be alone...

Terumi: The three of you really like trains, don't you?
Tanaka: Oh, not me!
For me, instead of running on tracks that have already been laid...
Hmm... I guess I'm the type that likes blazing my own path...
But all 'Great People' are like that you know
Terumi: Um... What exactly do you mean by 'Great People'?
Tanaka: 'Great People?' You know those people who just grovel along from one day to then next? I definitely don't want to end up like that!
I wanna accomplish something big, something huge that will shock the world!
Terumi: So, what is it specifically that you want to do?
Tanaka: How can I explain it, how can I explain it so that it can be easily understood...
Ummm... I'm going to change the world, that's it!
Terumi: So, Are you going to become a politician and bring about world peace, or, make people happy with some great invention or something like that?
You need some specific vision to change the world, don't you?

Tanaka: I see, I see! I know what you're trying to say, I understand!
But, You can't just stick me inside such a small framework, and you know why?
Me you know, theres only one of me in the whole world.
I was born with something really, truly special!

Terumi: SO, What is specifically special about you?
Tanaka: Well, well... I'm going to disover that little by little! *Big grin*

Yorokobi no Uta

Yeahh...

I love you, I love you
Other than that, I cannot find anything else
I love you, I love you
For a destination, anywhere is fine

In the future we can see from this train
A never ending song

Being alive, just that
I'll run along with you
Gaining warmth from a kiss about to fade
Tonight I want to sleep here

I love you, I love you
Even if I am hated by you
I love you, I love you
Shivering in a crowd,
You who has lost a home to return to
I'll protect you

[Kiss me baby]

The true voice
I cannot see with my eyes
Embracing the beauty
When you're about to cry, remember
That I'm definitely here

[Rap] In our town
The train waiting for you
This pressure
drawn on your real face
A photographed close-up of the love in our chests
So that we don't forget, transcribed in our hearts
Take Da Luv Train Take Da Luv Train
This Signal to run, with just a glance
On the last train, with you to the last stop
Calling your name, when it's just about to leave

I love you, I love you
Your existence, is too wonderful
I love you, I love you

I love you

[I WONT STOP!]

Being alive, just that
I'll run along with you
Gaining warmth from a kiss about to fade
Tonight I'll sleep here

The real voice
Cannot be seen with my eyes
Embracing the beauty
When you're about to cry, remember
That I'm definitely here

I'll always be by your side

Under the Same Sun

I saw the morning
It was shattered by a gun
Heard a scream, saw him fall, no one cried
I saw a mother
She was praying for her son
Bring him back, let him live, don't let him die

Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a Heaven in the sky
Why can't we get it right

'cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon (yeah)
Then why, why can't we live as one

I saw the evening
Fading shadows one by one
We watch the lamb, lay down to the sacrifice
I saw the children
The children of the sun
How they wept, how they bled, how they died

Do you ever ask yourself
Is there a Heaven in the sky
Why can't we stop the fight

'cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon (yeah)
Then why, why can't we live as one

Sometimes I think I'm going mad
We're losing all we had and no one seems to care
But in my heart it doesn't change
We've got to rearrange and bring our world some love (yeah)

And does it really matter
If there's a heaven up above
We sure could use some love

'cause we all live under the same sky
We all look up at the same stars (yeah)
Then why, why can't we live as one (hey)

'cause we all live under the same sun
We all walk under the same moon (yeah)

we all live under the same sky
We all look up at the same stars (yeah)
Then why, tell me why can't we live as one

It's true that I fell asleep on the train and missed my stop. But you can't really blame me, in my dream, I was also on the train, and when it was my stop, I got out like I was supposed to.

No, I don't like writing mails on my cellphone. It's much easier to make a phone call than to press those tiny buttons one after the other.

Koukou Debut ~ Kawahara Kazune

The Unwinding Cable Car

Emotive unstable
You're like an unwinding cable car
Listening for voices, but it's
The choices that make us who we are

Go your own way, even seasons have changed
Just burn those new leaves over
So self-absorbed, you'll seem to ignore
The prayers that have already gone above

This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don't drop your arms...)
Don't drop your arms, I've got your heart
With quiet words, I'll lead you in

Lalalala la la la...la lala la
Lalalala la la la...la lala la

Backing away from the problem of pain
You never had a home
You've been misguided
You're hiding in shadows for so very long

Don't you believe that you've been deceived
That you're no better than
The hair in your eyes will never disguise
What you're really thinkin' of

This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don't drop your arms...)
Don't drop your arms, I've got your heart
With quiet words, I'll lead you in

This is the correlation of salvation and love
(Don't drop your arms)
Don't drop your arms, I've got your heart
With quiet words, I'll lead you in

You're so brilliant
Don't soon forget
You're so brilliant
Grace marked your heart (Heart...)

You're so brilliant
Don't soon forget (Ah-ah-ah...)
You're so brilliant
Grace marked your heart

You're so brilliant
(This is the correlation between)
Don't soon forget
(Salvation and love, don't drop your arms!)

You're so brilliant
(I've got your heart! With quiet)
Grace marked your heart
(Words, I'll lead you in and out of the dark!)

Lalalala la la la...la lala la (Don't drop your arms...)
Lalalala la la la...la lala la

(Lalalala la la la...la lala la)
This is the correlation
Of salvation and love
Don't drop your arms

(Lalalala la la la...la lala la)
Don't drop your arms
I've got your heart
With quiet words, I'll lead you in

"You never felt jealousy, did you, Miss Eyre? Of course not; I need not ask you; because you never felt love."

Mr. Rochester, Jane Eyre ~ Charlotte Bronte
"And your will shall decide your destiny," he said. "I offer you my heart, my hand, and a share of all possessions."
"You play a farce, which I merely laugh at."
"I ask you to pass through life at my side - to be my second self, and best earthly companion."

Jane Eyre ~ Charlotte Bronte
"Jane, be still; don't struggle so, like a frantic bird that is rendering it's own plumage in its desperation."
"I'm no bird; and no net ensnares me; I am a free human being with an independent will, which I now exert to leave you."

Jane Eyre ~ Charlotte Bronte
"Sit," he said: "the bench is long enough for two. You don't hesitate to take a place at my side, do you? It that wrong, Jane?"

Mr. Rochester, Jane Eyre ~ Charlotte Bronte
I was forgetting his faults, for which I had once kept a sharp out look.

MOTHER/FATHER

Such real love like this, everything about you who didn't stop singing about it to me,
I will not forget, even if I am reborn

I was wrong when I thought I was living alone on my own
That warmth you offered me, is a bit saddening isn't it?

Even if I depended on you only at my convenience
You were always by my side, giving me your smile

It is not only in memories, our bond cannot be erased, for eternity

Such real love like this, everything about you who didn't stop singing about it to me,
I will not forget, even if I am reborn

For you, did this me, become your pride?
Even if I'm embarrassed to ask, I want that to be so

Your smile that melts my heart, I want to see that more than anything, for eternity

"There is no love that won't be returned", your voice which taught me that
I will find, even if I am reborn

[Rap] Seeing your strict back become smaller in the space of time,
makes me feel sad for some reason
I felt that every time you opened your mouth it was to reprimand me,
now even that is precious
"Even if no one else notices your effort, we will be right near and see"
Forever, those words will remain filling my heart, making my eyes wet
The lie you make me sad, it's not a lie anymore, this idiot's gratitude, love's sign
I'm expressing it in my own way, this bond, just live long without regrets

More than anyone, I'll be by your side, the fate of us meeting
Will never be broken, even if we are reborn

Even if we are reborn

AFFECTION ~もう戻れない~

(Affection ~Mou modorenai~
Affection ~Can't go back any more~
)

Affection... Affection...

Hello, It's just me, it's nothing important, I only wanted to hear your voice
I don't know why I kissed you
It wasn't entirely because I was tempted, the taste of your sweet lips still lingers

You are just my friend, I understand that but,
I'll close my eyes, just for you

Show me your affection, Just your feelings only
Show me your affection, I'm scared to listen
Please show me your affection, But I cannot go back anymore, oh yeah oh yeah...

No longer there? The you of up to yesterday, where are you today and what are you feeling?
I know what you're thinking, I don't need lies, I know well, that personality

You are just my friend, Although I've been told that enough times..
I'll close my eyes, just for you

Show me your affection, just your name only
Show me your affection, even if I can only gaze upon
Please show me your affection, this inviting feeling, oh yeah oh yeah...

You are my baby...
Show me baby girl, Don't hang up and show me baby
Mmmm...
So show me Baby..
Oh oh yeah oh oh..
Mmm...

Show me your affection, show me your affection
But we can't go back anymore, Please show me your affection
Show me your affection, show me your affection
This inviting feeling, please show me your affection

I'm just a friend, I understand that but,
I'll close my eyes, just for you.

If
the snow piles up like this again
Lets
make footprints in the snow
together,
okay?

Yuki ~ Fruits Basket
In your arms are countless kinds of weapons enabling you to fight by my side.
Your heart quietly gazes on me in the world of light.
It is that which, when I fall unto the deepest reaches of darkness, refuses to let me wander hopelessly, and stubbornly supports me, pulling me strongly towards the pool of light.
If you were to be lost to me, I would not be afraid of dying.
If you were to stay by my side, I would even be able to bend the will of god.

Tokyo Crazy Paradise
It's not anyone's fault...
It's just... we are fragile.
Sometimes we cannot forgive others.

Zutto

(Forever)
Under the star filled sky, we walked on the path home
Even if we are still a little uncomfortable alone together
and the conversation tended to trail off

Your hand held in mine, the time we spent together, and each and every single word by you
Speak of our feelings, with eyes about to cry, all I can do...

In this place where even the stars watch upon
I want to embrace you tightly
Be by my side forever and ever
By you just being there, I am able to become more gentle

Those words I feel I should say over and over again
But I still haven't been able to say it yet

The distance to the door
When you let go of my hand a little
I put my arm around your shoulders and drew you close
Let's stay here for just a little while longer

In this place where even the stars watch upon
I want to embrace you tightly
Be by my side forever and ever
By you just being there, I am able to become more gentle

Those words I feel I should say over and over again
"I want to be together with you forever"

夏の場所

(Natsu no Bashou
Summer's Place)

It reaches me from the sun [It's calling] The ice cooling my hot body
Searching for summer [Oh]
After seeing my back tanned, I smiled gently to myself

[I knew it all along], I want to rush out right now,
[Everything's right here] Open this door

Going out of the tall building, I arrived at summer's place
The light is certainly nearby

Showering in the suns rays, Wiping off sweat, Enjoying the feel of summer
Days of bitter memories like eating sand,I won't run away from those either

[I knew it all along] I want to call for you now
[Everything's right here] Extend both these hands

Going out of the tall building, I arrived at summer's place
The light is certainly nearby
Even if the tears fall without realization
This sea is watching on so, move forward with your strength

Tried to shut the book I was writing on
To go right now, until I reach the place where friends wait
Chatting about dreams, while drawing pictures on the sand
The us in the future, will definitely soar

The wind carries dreams, along with Summers memories
There is meaning even in bitter tears
In painful times, always, remember Summer's place
If you gather strength, this place will shine

Going out of the tall building, I arrived at summer's place
The light is certainly near you
Even if the tears fall without realization
This sea is watching, move forward with your strength

White X'Mas

In the sparkling silver-colored city, rain turns into snow
I saw a dream-colored brilliant future, on that X'Mas Day

Seeing you, I smiled, on that holy night
The tears overflowed, didn't they? Although I love you forever, why?

Now snow is falling, on the distant side of this sky
Someone new awaits, while I embrace memories that cannot be erased

That time, we laughed together, not afraid of anything
I hurt your gentleness, on that X'Mas day

Searching for things like hopes and dreams, I only get lost
The sky I see is too high, I can't catch hold of it although it is within reach, why?

Now snow is falling, the unwavering feelings from that time
Continue on to a new tomorrow, a story that we cannot go back to a second time

Although I felt lost when I started out, the snowflakes which fall on my hand melts
Maybe someday, we'll meet again, and we'll be able to make our hearts certain

~KAT-TUN

Someday for Somebody

Holding hands. Listening to each others voices. Laughing together It would be great if
it was possible
How many people may be able to meet by chance?
Helping each other Supporting one another Understanding each other It would be
great if it was possible

How many hearts will come together?

Right this second someone’s feelings are hurt, someone is embracing the pain
Right this second someone is embracing the new life that was born
Right this second there also exists something that has been known for eternity
From our hearts we join our hands together and keep living on

Desiring something. Admitting to it. It would be great if this could be conveyed
How many dreams do we continue to search for?
Being separated. Time passes. It would be great if it was possible to keep on believing
How much tears will we have to face?

To someday for somebody
To somewhere for something

Right now there are things that we can’t do, that are painful, that we grieve about
It would be great to get through those thoughts one day
That’s right, the same day does not go on forever
While we search for the light we keep living on

There are probably things that even the tiny me can do
Where should I go from here though? When will the right time come?

Right this second someone’s feelings are hurt, someone is embracing the pain
Right this second someone is embracing the new life that was born
Right this second there also exists something that has been known for eternity
From our hearts we join our hands together and keep living on

Right now there are things that we can’t do, that are painful, that we grieve about
It would be great to get through those thoughts one day
That’s right, the same day does not go on forever
While we search for the light we keep living on

Right this second someone’s feelings are hurt, someone is embracing the pain
Right this second someone is embracing the new life that was born
Right this second there also exists something that has been known for eternity
From our hearts we join our hands together and keep living on

ケサナイ

(Kesanai
Unerased)
I'm listening to your last message
I remember that night blurred with tears

I didn't think about your feeling
But you still said "I'm glad to meet you"

There's still an unerased voice message
I want to believe that it's the last bond between us on that day
But when I listen to your unerased voice
I can't step forward, your words "thank you" echoing in my heart

I regret I couldn't answer your voice
Now I understand that you're irreplaceable

Even in my dream I can't see you, I feel lonely
But you still said "I'm glad to meet you"
Always

I can't forget about an unerased voice message
I want to believe that it's the last miracle between us on that day
But when I listen to your unerased voice
I can't step forward, in this night I want to honestly say the last "thanks" to you

Now certainly I hold the light
Ah I want to show you

Until now, there's an unerased voice message
I want to believe that it's the last bond between us on that day
But when I listen to your unerased voice
I can't step forward, in this night I want to honestly say the last "thanks" to you
"Thanks" to you
