I hereby vow that I am in love with this song and this man. I really do
I think I already flail at youtube at tumblr at facebook at all social network available and here it is, the beautiful words from Nakamaru's new solo he performed on SC. Now all I need is for Ueda to make a ballad to complement this song. I know Ueda's fans wants another rock piece but please please please, I am really digging into ballads now, especially after being enchanted by the sweet melody of Sweet Chain. Or if it isn't Ueda, then Junno can do a ballad number but please not Kame. No.

Lyrics: JamMush
Arrangement: Andreas Johansson / Karol "Kase" Chlopecki
Translation/Romaji
Your profile, reflected in the blue-tinted window
aoku somaru mado garasu ni utsuru yokogao to
on a drive, passing through the vividly changed city
vivid ni kigae te ku machi o oikoshi te drive
Flashback, if you remember, want to cry, on the brink of tears,
Flashback omoidase ba want to cry naki dashi sou na
I embrace your trembling shoulders
furueru kata o idaki yose te
Face to face, anything, like magic, let you forget
Face to face nanimokamo like magic let you forget
Lean on me, only trust me
boku ni aduke te only trust me
The bubble ring of vows, floating like a wave
nami no you ni oyoi de ku chikai no bubble ring
Surf ride, a sign that made its way through the crowd
surf ride hitonami o surinuke ta sign
There's only one, one love forevermore
tatta hitotsu dake one love, forevermore
Right, until I met you, I probably didn't notice my weakness
sou kimi ni deau made wa kitto yowai nante koto ni kiduki mo shi nai de
The more I think "I love you", the stronger I get to softly wrap you up
'aisuru'tte omou hodo sotto kimi o tsutsumu tame no tsuyo sa ni naru
Let's walk together, at a speed carved by the beat,
futari aruki de sou kodou kizamu supiido de
without a rush, step by step, love is here, embracing love
asera zu ni step by step, love is here ai o dakishime te
I don't want to see a red carpet, a brilliant spotlight,
spotlight hanayagu red carpet mi taku wa nai kedo
Let's continue walking on the runway that just the two of us are imagining
futari kiri egai teru runway aruki tsudukeyo u
Keep goin' back, what a smile are you waiting for?
goin' back tsudui teru what a smile matteru darou?
I want to know what lies ahead the unknown
michi no saki ni want to know
Even though I'm no superman, I want to protect you
superman ja naku te mo kimi o mamori tai
I want to see that smile (only smile for me)
sono egao mi te i tai (only smile for me)
Flap your wings like bird and dance, slow dance
tori no you ni habatai te odoru yo slow dance
Tip-top, match your pace, let me fly
tip-top ashinami sotoe te let me fly
Because I want to feel gentle breezin' breezin'
sotto breezin' breezin' kanji te i tai kara
Right, to meet you I passed through all this time to finally reach this place
sou kimi ni deau tame ni zutto toki o koe te tadori tsui ta kono basho ni
The vow of "I love you" is my wish to keep walking with you
'aisuru'tte chikau no wa motto kimi to aruki tai to negat te iru
Let's go together, to a life-sized future
futari arui te iko u toushin dai no mirai e
Step by step til the heart...
kokoro made step by step...
Like the seasons change colour, let's keep spending the same time together
kisetsu ga iroduku you ni kimi to boku to onaji toki o kizamu tsudukeyo u
We don't have to reach out, the same speed, the same temperature, always be with you...
senobi nante shi naku te ii onaji haya sa onaji ondo always be with you...
(You and I) Always, step by step, now and ever... You and I...
(you and I) itsudemo step by step now and ever... you and I...
Let's walk together, at a speed carved by the beat
futari aruki de sou kodou kizamu supiido de
without a rush, step by step, love is here, embracing love
asera zu ni step by step love is here ai o dakishime te
Whether we laugh, whether we cry... step by step (One love, forevermore)
warai au hi mo namidasuru hi ni mo... step by step (one love, forevermore)
Let's walk without rush or hurry, I'll be with you (One love, forevermore)
asera zu ni isoga zu aruko u I'll be with you... (One love, forevermore)
Now and ever, step by step
Kanji
蒼く染まる窓ガラスに映る横顔と
vividに着替えてく街を追い越してDrive
Flashback 思い出せば want to cry 泣き出しそうな
震える肩を抱き寄せて
Face to face 何もかも Like magic, let you forget
僕に預けて only trust me
波のように泳いでく 誓いのBubble Ring
Surf ride人波をすり抜けたSign
たったひとつだけ One love, forevermore
そう 君に出逢うまでは きっと弱いなんてことに気づきもしないで
「愛する」って思うほど そっと君を包むための強さになる
ふたり歩き出そう 鼓動刻むスピードで
焦らずにstep by step, Love is here 愛を抱きしめて
Spotlight華やぐRedcarpetみたくはないけど
ふたりきり描いてるRunway 歩き続けよう
Goin' back 続いてる What a smile 待ってるだろう？
未知の先に want to know
Supermanじゃなくても君を守りたい
その笑顔見ていたい (only smile for me)
鳥のようにはばたいて踊るよ Slow Dance
Tip-top足並揃えて Let me fly
そっとBreezin' breezin' 感じていたいから
そう 君に出逢うために ずっと時を越えて辿り着いたこの場所に
「愛する」って誓うのは もっと君と歩きたいと願っている
ふたり歩いて行こう 等身大の未来へ
心までstep by step...
季節が色づくように 君と僕と同じ時間を刻み続けよう
背伸びなんてしなくていい 同じ速さ 同じ温度 Always be with you...
(You and I) いつも Step by step, Now and ever... You and I...
ふたり歩き出そう 鼓動刻むスピードで
焦らずにstep by step, Love is here 愛を抱きしめて
笑い合う日も 涙する日にも... step by step (One love, forevermore)
焦らずに 急がず歩こう I'll be with you... (One love, forevermore)
(Now and ever, step by step)
