風の街へ

Kaze no Machi e
(To wind's town)

Kanji

時の向こう　風の街へ
ねえ、連れて行って
白い花の夢かなえて

甘い指でこの手をとり
ねえ、遠い道を
導いて欲しいの
貴方の側へ

その歌声絶えない昼下がり
目覚めて二人は一つになり
幸せの意味を始めて知るのでしょう
連れて行って…

その歌声切なく高らかに
全ての心に響くのでしょう
幸せの意味を知らずに眠る夜に…

まだ知らない夢の向こう
ねえ、遠い道を
二人で行けるわ
風の街へ

Beyond time, to wind's town
Ne, take me away
Grant the white flower's dream

With gentle fingers, take this hand
Ne, through the distant path
I want you to show me the way
To your side

That singing voice never ceases, in the early afternoon
Waking up, two people become one
The meaning of happiness, will be known for the first time
Take me away...

That singing voice, heartrendingly deep
Surely will echo in all hearts
Of nights sleeping with the meaning of happiness unknown...

Beyond the yet unknown dream
Ne, through the distant path
The two of us can go
To wind's town

Even if we part and meet again,
I want to meet at this place
Then we'll hold hands to ensure
we'll never be separated again

We used to talk all night until
the sun rose
And held hands till the sun
went under the horizon
Let's walk together like this forever
like light and shadow

I stand in the city,staring off
into space with lonely eyes
I can't find warmth on my own
by meeting you, I realized
how much strength love could give me

Even if we part and meet again,
I want to meet at this place
Then we'll hold hands to ensure
we'll never be separated again.

I can't sleep by myself,'cause
I can't dream without you
so take me to a place where
uncertainty can't reach us
And let us bring light to the
night sky with no stars

So long as you're with me, I can go
to world's end
Even if it's a path I can't walk on
my own
if you're by my side, I can walk it
while humming a tune
if we're together,the world is mine

if we can't meet
I will miss all the happiness
I'm so worried when he hugged me
tightly
it seems I will lose the sight of
tomorrow in the crowds
love is so painful
I forgot the art which glossed over
loneliness

Every time we went we held out hands together
we will walk together on this road
if I think of a dream that no one
ever thought of
I will make this dream come true
only with you
with happiness

while we are arguing on Saturday
I don't want to lose you
I feel something powerful get into
my body and the love getting warm
NO MORE CRY
something shines on my jean's pocket
it's a call from you but I ignore it
there's something in me already calm
maybe I will remain calm if you were here...
there is something missing and it makes me scared
I want to meet that "important person"
I will think about losing to someone
I hate this town so much

I want to hold your hand
I pretend to be tough but I can't
so unreasonable...can I cry?
autumn seasons will come soon

Even if we part and meet again,
I want to meet at this place
Then we'll hold hands to ensure
we'll never be separated again.

I can't sleep by myself,'cause
I can't dream without you
so take me to a place where
uncertainty can't reach us
if I think of a dream that no one
ever thought of
I will make this dream come true
only with you
with happiness

~Lil'B

Golden Time Lover

Can’t focus. My body is still puzzled about what to do.
I’m trembling. I can’t stop even if I try to control myself.
Although neither the sun nor the moon are on my side,
“I’ve no choice but to try,” Those were the words I muttered to myself.

The odds aren’t on my side,but running away would be gutless.
Even if I can’t see the future, I’ll just have to win it over with courage.
Need to keep distance from the target as I hold myself back.
All that’s needed for victory is the pride to win.

Will we celebrate with the wine of victory or will we end up kissing their feet in defeat?
There are two outcomes in everything. I want to control destiny.

A brilliant GOLDEN TIME, I’ll grab it with these hands
A forced POKER FACE and I’m ready to begin
Drag me into that world of ILLUSION

A PRESSURE GAME with no limits, I just slip through it
in order to jump over that halogen BORDER LINE
HOW MANY? What’s the price I need to pay?
Which is it that you’d rather not sacrifice?

Proof is stronger than an argument, and basically you win if you produce the results
Silence is forbidden and it’ll all be revealed as time goes by
Sharpening my senses, and reading the flow meticulously

It’s GAME SENSE to decipher the percentage of my winning chances
Is that silhouette the Devil?
If it’s a man then act like one and face your defeat with grace

CLAP YOUR HANDS in adversity, shake the ground
A brand new FIGHTING STYLE, aim for the barely possible
ATTENTION It’s dangerous, exceed all limits

An awesome FAIRY TALE, etch it into history
so that you can show off the perfect victory
ARE YOU READY? Throw away those fogged doubts
Climb those babel stairs

A smile like that of a Goddess
I’m possessed by your charm
You invite me deeper as I fall

A greed that has taken over my heart, and a dream that won’t stop growing
No one can stop me

A brilliant GOLDEN TIME, I’ll grab it with these hands
A forced POKER FACE and I’m ready to begin
Drag me into that world of ILLUSION

A PRESSURE GAME with no limits, I just slip through it
in order to jump over that halogen BORDER LINE
HOW MANY? What’s the price I need to pay?

CLAP YOUR HANDS in adversity, shake the ground
A brand new FIGHTING STYLE, aim for the barely possible
ATTENTION It’s dangerous, exceed all limits

An awesome FAIRY TALE, etch it into history
An astounding turn of events, make it a worthy victory
DO YOU KNOW? Destiny is meant to be snatched away
Bask in the glory of the sunlight atop the babel tower

~Sukima Switch

Again

To erase these feelings completely life is yet too long right?
I want to try and redo those things I left undone.

We were supposed to be going after the continuation of our dreams,
But we trip over people on that bent, narrow path.
It's not like we want to return to those times,
We were just looking for those skies we've lost
Stop making that sad face, as if you 'sacrificed yourself just so I'd understand.'

A sin doesn't end with tears,
You have to suffer and carry the burden forever.
Who are you waiting for in the labyrinth of your emotions,
With no exit in sight?

As I spelled them out in this blank notebook,
I want to release my true feelings more and more.
What do you want to escape from?
That thing called 'reality'?

Makes me want to scream that we live on,
To make our wish come true, you hear me?
No way we can stay on the safe side,
So we don't even have a place to go back to.

I'm always thankful for kindness,
So I want to become strong. (I'm on the way)
I'm feeling nostalgic.
I'll even welcome that pain.

~ YUI (FMA Brotherhood version)

One more time, one more chance

How much more do I have to lose, before my heart is forgiven?
How many more pains do I have to suffer, to meet you once again?
One more time, season please don't change
One more time, to the time when we were having fun

Whenever we disagreed, I would always give in first
Your selfish nature made me love you even more
One more chance, the memories restrain my steps
One more chance, I cannot choose my next destination

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
On the opposite platform, in the windows along the lane
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place

If my wish is granted, I would be at your side right away
There's nothing I can't do
I will risk everything to embrace you.

If only to divert sadness, anyone will do
Because the night looks like the stars will fall, I cannot lie to myself.
One more time, season please don't change
One more time, to the time when we were having fun

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
At a street crossing, in the midst of dreams
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place

If there's a miracle, I want to show you it right now.
The new morning, the new me
Even the word 'Love' that I couldn't say to you

Summer memories are spinning around me
Heartbeats that have suddenly stopped

I’m always searching, for your figure to appear somewhere
The city at dawn, in Sakuragi-cho
Even though I know you won't come here

If my wish is granted, I would be at your side right away
There's nothing I can't do
I will risk everything to embrace you.

I’m always searching, for fragments of you to appear somewhere
In the shop at my destination, in the corner of the newspaper
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place

If there's a miracle, I want to show you it right now.
The new morning, the new me
Even the word 'Love' that I couldn't say to you

I always end up searching everywhere for your smile
At the railroad crossing, waiting for the express to pass
Even though I know you couldn’t be at such a place

If I could repeat my life, I would be by your side forever
There is nothing else I want
Besides you, my precious person

~Masayoshi Yamazaki

絆

(Kizuna
Bond)

No matter how much you think about the future
The truth isn't something which can be seen by anyone
An emptiness, in my heart, something strikes
Only mistakes, I keep on repeating

It's fine to take one step at at time, don't let go of this hand
Because the days we spent together, will go on
Even if we are torn into pieces and come apart
That place of that time, and this bond that won't disappear

So that we don't lose against the flowing time
The true feelings that go different ways and crash into each other
My heart infused with thoughts of that person
The fact that we met was the miracle I waited for

Because we are connected by the light we saw inside
due to the pain of not being able to do anything, just standing still
It's fine if you lie, it's fine if you let your tears show, so
That place of that time, and this bond that won't disappear

It's fine to take one step at at time, don't let go of this hand
Because the days we spent together, will go on
Even if we are torn into pieces and come apart
That place of that time, and this bond that won't disappear

~Kamenashi Kazuya [KAT-TUN]

Oretachi no Seishun

We have something we can't do
at any time other then now

That "It's pointless" or "It doesn't matter."
I won't let you say things like that.

Something that shines more brightly than the sun
Even when my eyes are closed, it makes my heart warm

Those who can understand and meet friendship
Those who we can crash head on with our feelings.
Burning our lives we keep on living.
We all are right here.
While our hearts are provoked into unrest
The seasons are passing by
Before everything changes
I ran, wanting to change something on my own

No matter how far we go
It seems we don't get anywhere
with the same feeling
In the same place as always we let go of our thoughts.

On the top of the hill, looking down on the city
We feel how significant we are and the endless sky

Friendship that can never be erased or broken
Even while we get hurt, we continue naively on
The meaning of over coming
This irreplaceable time together with our friends
Even this painfulness,
We're not even sure whether we will still feel it tomorrow
So we cannot just wait because,
We have something we can't do any other time then now

Those who can understand and meet friendship
Those who we can crash head on with our feelings.
Burning our lives we keep on living.
We all are right here.
While our hearts are provoked into unrest
The seasons are passing by
Before everything changes
I ran, wanting to change something on my own

This is our youth

~Takaki Yuya

Prisoner of Love

I'm just a prisoner of love, prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love...
I'm just a prisoner of love, prisoner of love

With an indifferent face, you tell lies
Laughing in that strange way
Let’s just have fun, you said

The blues from desiring the impossible
Everyone is seeking tranquility
You’re struggling, but you’ve had enough
Now you’re chasing after a shadow of love

Since the day you appeared
My dull every days have begun to shine
Now I‘m able to think, feeling lonely, being in pain - it's fine
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Through painful times and healthy times,
Stormy days and sunny days, let’s walk on together

I’m gonna tell you the truth
I chose an unforeseen painful path
And you came to support me
You’re the only one I can call a friend

Fake displays of strength and avarice have no meaning
I’ve been in love with you, since that day
When I’m free, with time to spare, there’s no life in being alone
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Oh... Just a little more
Don’t you give up
Oh don’t ever abandon me, ever
If the cruelty of reality tries to tear us apart
We’ll be drawn more closely to one another
Somehow, somehow, I have a feeling we’ll be able to stand firm
I’m just a prisoner of love
Just a prisoner of love

Every day banalities quickly begin to shine brilliantly
You stole my heart, that day
Feeling lonely, being in pain - it's fine, I thought since then
I'm just a prisoner of love

Stay with me, stay with me
My baby, say you love me
Stay with me, stay with me
Don’t leave me alone again

~Utada Hikaru

Konayuki

Season of snow powder always come

Although we are mixed up with a mass of people

we are looking on the same sky

Blown by the wind, and we are chilled by it

I may not know everything about you

Nevertheless, I've found you among 100's of millions of people

There's no proof but I'm very serious of it

It's impossible to live in the same time with no single quarrel

If we can't be honest, happiness and sadness are just meaningless

If the snow powder may whiten deep to our heart

Could we both share our loneliness?

I would press my ear near to your heart

And go down deep into the place where I hear that voice and meet you once again

We want to understand each other

It's me who softly brush the surface

Just by tightly gripping your numb and cold hand

We are tied to each other

Snow powder is too fragile

In front of us, keep on leaving stains on the rough asphalt forever

Snow powder does not rely on time, moving our heart

Nevertheless, I'd still like to keep on protecting you

If the snow powder may whiten deep to our heart

It will cover both our loneliness and return it to the sky...

~Remioromen

3/9

(Sangatsu Kokonoka)

In the middle of this drifting season

I suddenly feel the length of the days

In the midst of these quickly-passing days

You and I dream away

With my feelings on the March wind

The cherry blossom buds continue on into spring

The overflowing drops of light

One by one warm the morning

Beside you, I'm a little embarrassed

After a huge yawn

I'm standing at the door to a new world

What I've realized is that I'm not alone

If I close my eyes

You're behind my eyelids

How strong has that made me?

I hope I'm the same for you

The dusty whirlwind

Tangled up the laundry, but

The white moon in the morning sky

Was so beautiful, I couldn't look away

There are things that don't go the way I planned

But if I look up to the sky, even they seem small

The blue sky is cold and clear

The fluffy clouds float by quietly

If I can share with you the joy

Of waiting for the flowers to bloom, I'll be happy

From now on, I want you to be quietly smiling beside me

If I close my eyes

You're behind my eyelids

How strong has that made me?

I hope I'm the same for you

~Remioromen

Only Human

On the opposite coast of sadness

is something called a smile

On the opposite coast of sadness

is something called a smile

But before we can go there,

is there something we’re waiting for?

In order to chase our dreams, we can’t have a reason to run away

We’ve got to go, to that far away summer’s day

If we find it tomorrow, we can’t sigh

Because like a boat that opposes the stream

we have to walk straight on

In a place worn down by sadness

something called a miracle, is waiting

Yet we are still searching

for the sunflower that grows at the end of spring

The warrior who awaits the morning light

before he can clasp it with red nails, his tears glitter and fall

Even if we’ve grown used to loneliness

only relying on the light of the moon

We have to fly away with featherless wing

just go forward, just a little further

As the rainclouds break

the wet streets sparkling

Although it brings only darkness

A powerful, powerful light

helps push us to walk on

~K

Cool Whispers

Cool whispers drift from the north on the night
Yet you warm my heart for we hold the light
The land must fade from green into white
Hush my heart this love is a fire
This love will burn like a fire

Lie side by side in the soft winter white
Hold me close to you as we brace for flight
In time I pray they’ll see what we feel
Gentle love this pain won’t retire
This love must burn like a fire

Close your eyes and dream what I see,
peace for a moment the future unclear
Hand by hand as we stand on the wire,
the ending so near our start close behind
Light bends through trees, leaves spiral and wind
We’re far from here and frozen in time

Cool whispers drift from the north on the night
Yet you warm my heart for we hold the light
The land must fade from green into white
Hush my heart this love is a fire
This love will burn like a fire

Cool whispers
Yet you warm my heart for we hold the light
This love will burn like a fire
Hold me close to you as we brace for flight

~Ike Yoshihiro

Sayaendo (Peas)

When I awakened I was in the middle of the ocean, surrounded
A grim pirate yells at us
"How long're you gonna sleep? They're almost here"
It was then that everything started to move; it was the real thing

Countless shadows drew near; my heart was racing

Bravo! Bravo! We're like peas
Bravo! Bravo! The tears we shared together
Bravo! Bravo! We're peas again today
Bravo! Bravo! The precious one piece

Gandaraada gandaraada, I can hear it from my pillow
Gandaraada gandaraada, the spell is breaking
Soon I'll have to go, so I'll say goodbye before I wake from my dream

We're in the middle of the ship; in an instant we're surrounded
In the distance, the pirate shouts
"I'm gonna go pay them a visit; you protect the ship"
With my fist raised, I realized we were pirates, too

My friends are beside me; there's nothing to fear

Bravo! Bravo! The treasure we've found

Bravo! Bravo! Is the smiles we've shared with each other
Bravo! Bravo! We're peas again today
Bravo! Bravo! Let's gather the wind and go
Escape, escape, we won't let go of this
Escape, escape, they won't catch us
Soon I'll have to go, so I'll say goodbye before the sun rises

We'll meet again tomorrow; I believe

Bravo! Bravo! We're like peas
Bravo! Bravo! The tears we shared together
Bravo! Bravo! We're peas again today
Bravo! Bravo! The precious one piece
Gandaraada gandaraada, I can hear it from my pillow
Gandaraada gandaraada, the spell is breaking
Soon I'll have to go, so I'll say goodbye before I wake from my dream

~NewS

Colorful

Someone please tell me where I should go
Someone please tell me what I can do

When I look up, there's rain, when I turn back, there’s a wall
Even just the scenery around me increases my heartache

I’m alone just before sunrise
I walk without a purpose, but still don’t find it

No matter how many times I look for the answer
The more I think about it, the less I understand
Should I let the light into my eyes?
Should I walk one step at a time?
I try looking up at the moon

My heartbeat was snatched away in those days, that time
I’ll get back even the fiery red passion

I will make it through that darkness
Even the shadow following behind me will disappear

I will face the things I can't see
Gain hopes and courage
On a journey that will continue tomorrow
I’ll go forward one step at a time
Praying for the future

I will make it through that darkness
To the infinite blue sky I’m looking for

No matter how much I keep looking,
I can’t find the answer I let the light into my eyes
I move forward with my heart as it is
The night will become day

I will face the things I can't see
Gain hopes and courage
On a journey that will continue tomorrow
I’ll go forward one step at a time
Praying for the future
I try looking at the moon
To a colorful world
To a colorful world

~Yamashita Tomohisa

Kiss ~ Kaerimichi No Love Song

The park seemed to be reserved for just the two of us on the way home.
While you were in high spirits, I watched you, I asked you:
"If the world should be destroyed tomorrow, what will you do?"
You didn't say anything and just held my hand tighter, ney
Ney... Look this way
Our lips are so close, my heart wouldn't stop hammering

No matter how you are, no matter when, I'll always accept you
If you're hurt and tears fall,
Even if I have to go against the world, I'll always protect you
"I love you" We don't need any words
Your last kiss is with me, always

When we have to go on different paths, I can't do anything, I know that.
You puff up your cheeks, let go of my hand,
I have to leave...
Ney... turn this way?
Our lips get closer together, my heart wouldn't stop hammering.

Even if it's someone like me, I can get stronger if you're with me
Love is a strange magic, I'm not afraid of anything
Even if I have to go against the world, I'll never let you go
"Stand by me" It can't be just anyone
I want you to stay by me

Ah~ with such a face, you ask me:
"Ney, Are you still going to kiss me when I'm an old granny?"
Ney, When that time comes, I'll be the same as you,
I will never let go of your hand

No matter how you are, no matter when, I'll always accept you
If you're hurt and tears fall,
Even if I have to go against the world, I'll always protect you
"I love you" We don't need any words
Your last kiss is with me, always

~Tegomass

Yubiwa the Ring

As my tears keep overflowing,
I can't see your last smile through the blur.
Don't go, please don't go... Stay here.
Light bursts through the sky.

Even this insignificant me
loved you more than anyone, with all my soul.
Thank you for all of
the precious feelings
you've given to me.

"At that time, I just...
watched for ages as the vapor trail vanished."

Please don't forget
You're not alone.
Even if we're apart, we can still carry on hand-in-hand.

With my first love, I first realized
that there could be such sorrow.

Even if something fades away, something will
live once again.
When you gave me a smile as we parted, it was
your message for me
to truly live with all my heart.

Someday surely we'll meet again
and be together.
No matter how far, we'll stare into each other's eyes
Bet all our hopes and dreams.

Let's promise each other
that we'll hold on to the intensity we felt
that day,
and live the future that blooms
in tomorrow.

~Sakamoto Ma'aya

Yakusoku wa Iranai (I Don't Need Promises)

Say, when they're in love,
does everyone get this lonely?
Say, do they embrace the pain
that's even deeper than the darkness?

It's all been so that we
can shine,
Surely

I... I love you.
I'm gazing at you with my heart.
I... I believe in you.
even on the coldest night.

Say, even if they're in love,
could the end someday come for them, too?
Say, could a feeling that's even
clearer than the blue sky end up being abandoned?

The season-changing winds
Running along the streets
Forever

I... I love you.
I'm gazing at you with my heart.
I... I believe in you.
even on the coldest night.

Even if I lose tomorrow,
and even if I lose you too,
I want to shine,
smiling as best as I can.

I call out to you now with my tears.
I don't need promises or such things,
because of the precious
strength that you've given me.

I call out to you now with my eyes.
I don't need promises or such things.
I reach out to you now with my eyes,
even on the coldest night.

~Sakamoto Ma'aya

Seishun Amigo

An echo, my cellphone rings, and a terrible premonition flashes through my heart
Calm down, mi amigo

I'm in a mess, help me, those guys are chasing me
Maybe this is the end, mi amigo

As if to tear us apart, the cellphone died

Yes, the two of us were always one, at home we were invincible, weren't we?
Yes, we'd longed to come to this town for a long time
For some reason, I remember the scenery, embracing the beautiful sky the day we left

When I reached a dark alleyway, you were slumped there
I didn't get there in time, I'm sorry

I can't keep the promise we made the day it all came crashing down
But I'm so happy you came

You held my trembling hand tight

Yes, when we came to this city we felt like we could have anything we wanted
Yes, we left our home behind without looking back to pursue our big dream,
smiling the whole time
We dreamed that together we could chase after a future that wouldn't change

Yes, the two of us were always one, at home we were invincible, weren't we?
Yes, we'd longed to come to this town for a long time
For some reason, I remember the scenery, embracing the beautiful sky the day we left

~Shuji To Akira

Sousei no Aquarion

On the day the world began Under the tree of life
The two of us heard The faraway echoes of the whales' voices

All the things I lost, All the things I loved
Embracing them in this hand, Where will I wander to now?

The amber sun in which the answer lurks
If we hadn't met I would have remained an angel of massacre

A soul that holds the sparkle of immortality
Don't hurt My wings
I was born to know this feeling

I've loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago
I grew to love you more in the days when eight thousand years have passed
I'll still love you after one hundred million and two thousand years
From that day I knew you, music won't cease in this hell of mine

Before the world ends Before life ends
I want to undo this sleeping grief And embrace your scent

Memories of the sea god, which I carefully listened to
The beautiful moon, swallowed by despair and standing still
Arise Light that dried up in eternity
Don't get soiled Your dreams
I was born while dwelling in a prayer

I've loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago
I grew to love you more in the days when eight thousand years have passed
I'll still love you after one hundred million and two thousand years
From that day I knew you, music won't cease in this hell of mine

You grow up repeatedly and
Go into the distance over and over again
Watching over you, unable to sleep, even though I became disheveled
For the sake of singing your name...

I've loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago
I grew to love you more in the days when eight thousand years have passed
I'll still love you after one hundred million and two thousand years
From that day I knew you

I've loved you since ten thousand and two thousand years ago
I grew to love you more in the days when eight thousand years passed
I'll still love you even if one hundred million and two thousand years pass
From that day I knew you, music won't cease in this hell of mine

~ AKINO

Sen no Yoru wo Koete

I want you to love me, but I don't think you will.
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It’s the only answer I have, even if I’m scared of getting hurt.
I’ll say “I love you” to the one I love
Do you love me or not?
I don’t care what the answer is, I just need to know!
No matter how badly I desire to be with you
There are many unchangeable things in this world
and my love for you
can’t be stopped by anyone
As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you
I have to let you know
“I want you to love me, but I don’t think you will.”
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It’s the only answer I have, even if I’m scared of getting hurt.
I’ll say “I love you” to the one I love
Putting these feelings into words is so scary
but I’ll say “I love you” to the one I love
The happiness we chance upon in our lives can’t be expressed in words
That’s why we can only smile
Why we sing “do re mi” among the vivid autumn colors
With winter at our backs, and the spring sunbeams peeking through the leaves
as to protect someone who’s just been reborn
As I looked at the road I’d traveled and the path ahead,
my eyes were filled with cowardice
I wanted to look into your eyes, but was afraid I wouldn’t be honest
I didn’t want to know that you didn’t love me
and live the rest of my days alone
That day, I kept on loving you without getting hurt
As 1000 nights pass, I long to tell you
I have to let you know
“I want you to love me, but I don’t think you will.”
I wander around as I repeat this to myself
It’s the only answer I have, even if I’m scared of getting hurt.
I’ll say “I love you” to the one I love
Even if my feelings aren’t returned, I can say “I love you” to the one I love
And that’s the most beautiful thing in the world
