SixTONES - Cassette Tape
Hi! This is just a short post, which I can't even call a lyrics translation, it's just about one of my favorite songs on this album.
So, I haven't listened to this album enough, it usually takes me a while to fully appreciate a song, especially because the first thing that calls my attention is just music XD So, I'm talking about CITY, Sixtones' second album, which is really interesting and vocally delightful. This is the song that called my attention the most, because of nostalgia~ LOL, I got kanji from here, the only thing here is as, in the first album, this is one of the songs I can't understand WHY they didn't make fully in English? why? I just translated the little bits left in Japanese and tried to connect them.

All the good things that you said
Repeat in my head like cassette tapes
Wish I could rewind all of the good times
Damn, it hurts so bad I'm not breathin'
You got the air that you needed
君がいない部屋はso lonely
One mistake but one was just too many yeah
What the hell was I supposed to do
I'm used to acting like a fool
どうしても消せはしない
君の香りとsmile
So now that it's over
夢で名前呼んだ
I don't know how to get over
Or say 'I'm sorry'
So instead of you
鳴りつづけてる
君の好きなlove song
Don't remind me of you
Yeah
All the good things that you said
Repeat in my head like cassette tapes
君の声 聴きたくて
あの日まで巻き戻して cassette tapes
Wish I could rewrite, erasing the good-byes
But it's much too late
So why'd you take the records that I loved
You didn't even wanna listen to them tho
君探し彷徨う lost and found
But you said 'I'm out'
I wish I could take back
君傷つけた words
わかってたのに You're worth
You're worth so much more
'Cause you're not with me
Now I'm singing on my own
いつか君にlove song
届くように
Yeah
All the bad things that I said
Repeat in my head like cassette tapes
自分勝手 わかってるって
あの日まで巻き戻して cassette tapes
Wish you could hear me, while I am singing
Need you by my side
I heard you moved on
Need you by my side
I made it all wrong
いつかlike an old rock song
二人のこと思い出して We were too young
笑える日がきたらso good
Now I'm wishing you all the best though
You're gone away
All the good things that you said
Repeat in my head like cassette tapes
君のその手 また握って
あの日まで巻き戻して cassette tapes
Wish I could rewrite, erasing the good-byes
But it's much too late
I heard you moved on
Need you by my side
I made it all wrong
Cassette Tape
All the good things that you said
Repeat in my head like cassette tapes
Wish I could rewind all of the good times
Damn, it hurts so bad I'm not breathin'
You got the air that you needed
A room without you is so lonely
One mistake but one was just too many yeah
What the hell was I supposed to do
I'm used to acting like a fool
no matter what I can't take it off my mind
Your scent and your smile
So now that it's over
I call your name in my dreams
I don't know how to get over
Or say 'I'm sorry'
So instead of you
it keeps playing
your favorite love song
Don't remind me of you
Yeah
All the good things that you said
Repeat in my head like cassette tapes
I want to listen to your voice
I want to rewind to that day the cassette tapes
Wish I could rewrite, erasing the good-byes
But it's much too late
So why'd you take the records that I loved
You didn't even wanna listen to them tho
wandering around searching for you, like the lost and found
But you said 'I'm out'
I wish I could take back
the words that hurt you
despite I knew you're worth
You're worth so much more
'Cause you're not with me
Now I'm singing on my own
Hoping that one day my love song
will reach you
Yeah
All the bad things that I said
Repeat in my head like cassette tapes
I know I was being selfish.
I want to rewind to that day the cassette tapes
Wish you could hear me, while I am singing
Need you by my side
I heard you moved on
Need you by my side
I made it all wrong
Someday like an old rock song
remembering the two of us, back when we were too young
When the day comes when you can laugh about it, it'll be so good
Now I'm wishing you all the best though
You're gone away
All the good things that you said
Repeat in my head like cassette tapes
I want to hold that hand of yours again
to rewind to that day the cassette tapes
Wish I could rewrite, erasing the good-byes
But it's much too late
I heard you moved on
Need you by my side
I made it all wrong
I really like this song, it was instant love after the first listening. It kind of reminds me of Curtain call, because I loved that one too and it was also about a break-up. I'll be waiting for a similar one in their next album XD
Overall, I think it's really good, the music, the sound effects, the singing! especially by the end. I appreciate Juri's singing a lot, although he gets to do a little sort of rap here too. Jesse is surely a highlight, and more because of how good his English pronunciation is, they were all good, though, but Jesse sounds natural. Hokuto sounds so hurt! I love it! Of course, Taiga is the highlight by the end, beautiful~
About other songs in the album, well, I don't know how to say this, but Rosy it's not my favorite, maybe it's too fast for me, I don't know. I mostly love all the singles, Mascara and Figure, and the song from LiarxLiar, btw they sang Mascara so well in the JFestival. Everlasting is nice and Jesse sounds great in it. For some reason, I love 8am, also Fast Lane is really good!! I'd have loved to have an MV for this song!
Now about the solos, the one I love a lot is 真っ赤な嘘, plus they sound amazing together.
That's it! I ended up writing a lot, XD I want them to sing this live soon~
📼 They did! I wanted to do this, despite subbing this took 10 lines! LOL, my fave one!
And I can't end this without being random. Look at how cute this is!
