"Wonder Road" - Fantastic time
I'm so weak at these sort of songs, I mean this one wasn't even in my plans or list of translation, but, while feeling a little down today in my way back home, I payed attention to the lyrics of this song, and somehow made me feel a little better.
And I'm sorry but my love for this song just grew bigger when paying attention the lines' distribution, whoever was responsible for this, thank you!! This is the way all songs should be distributed, I mean according to me. It's amazing, it's so hard to pick the best lines .. Well, I'll write more on this later.
According to Wikipedia, this lyricist has also written and composed a couple of songs for Tegomass, which I wouldn't know, because, I haven't listened to any Tegomass' song.. I wonder why?
Anyway, this time the kanji and coloured-codes are from here. Until finding the colours I had a bad time trying to figure out who was singing what, specially because of Takaki, it's so weird to listen to your voice! you're a really good singer!

寂しがりの君だって いつか誰かを支えたり
小さな背に 大きな夢抱えて
Go On Just Your Way そして
Sabishi gari no kimi datte itsuka dare ka o sasae tari
chīsana se ni ōkina yume kakae te
Go On Just Your Way soshite
Even the you that tends to get lonely, one day will find someone who'll be by your side
To the you that is carrying such a huge dream on your tiny shoulders,
Go on, just follow your own way and..
いつの間に笑い方覚えて 人並みに恋をして
満たされた日々 ささやかなJoy
答えはきっとそこにある
itsunomani warai kata oboe te hitonami ni koi o shi te
mitasare ta hibi sasayaka na Joy
kotae wa kitto soko ni aru
Before you notice you'll have learned how to laugh, and will fall in love like anyone else.
Your days will be filled by a small joy
The answer is surely there
何処かで聞いたような声に 気付いて振り向けば
忘れてた自分が 時を超え笑いかける
doko ka de kii ta yō na koe ni kizui te furimuke ba
wasure te ta jibun ga toki o koewaraikakeru
If you happen to recognise something like a familiar voice and turn around,
You'll be able to give a big bright smile at the one you were before
Just Don't Worry
大丈夫だって言い聞かせていれば
大概のことは上手くいく
やり方なんてきっとどうにかなってしまえば
正解に変わる All Right
Just Don't Worry
daijōbu datte īkikase te ire ba
taigai no koto wa umaku iku
yarikata nante kitto dōnika natte shimae ba
seikai ni kawaru All Right
Just don't worry
If you tell yourself that everything will be okay
most things will go well
I'm sure your ways of doing things will change and somehow they will turn into the right answer. It's all right
泣き虫だって下を向かないで 顔を上げて大声で笑いながら
君と歩き続ける Wonder Road
nakimushi datte shita o muka nai de kao o age te ōgoe de warai nagara
kimi to arukitsuzukeru Wonder Road
Even if you are a crybaby, don't look down, raise your face as you laugh out loud
I will keep on walking with you, in this Wonderful Road
控えめな君でも 誰かに気持ちを伝えたり
譲れない思い ささやかなHope
胸にそっと秘めている
hikaeme na kimi demo dare ka ni kimochi o tsutae tari
yuzure nai omoi sasayaka na Hope
mune ni sotto hime te iru
Even the quiet you, will be able to transmit your feelings to anyone
It's an expectation you can't give up on, your small hope
a secret you keep softly to yourself
何処かに置いてきた思い出も つまずいて立ち止まる度に
時を超え蘇る
doko ka ni oi te ki ta omoide mo tsumazui te tachidomaru tabi ni
toki o koeyomigaeru
Every time you stumble and stop standing still
The memories that you have left behind
are recalled so vividly
Just Don't Worry
大丈夫だって声に出してみれば
なんだかちょっと勇気が出る
諦めなんてきっと
言い訳だって気付いて 情熱に変わる
All Right
Just Don't Worry
daijōbu datte koe ni dashi te mire ba
nandaka chotto yūki ga deru
akirame nante kitto īwake datte kizui te
jōnetsu ni kawaru All Right
Just don't worry
If you try saying with a loud voice that everything will be okay,
somehow you'll find the courage
You'll surely notice that your feelings of giving up are just an excuse,
and they'll change into enthusiasm. It's alright
恥ずかしがって踏み出せなくても 開き直って自分をさらけ出せば
君が進む未来は Wonder Road
hazukashi gatte fumidase naku te mo hirakinaotte jibun o sarakedase ba
kimi ga susumu mirai wa Wonder Road
Even when your shyness doesn't allow you to move forward,
If you try open yourself out
The future that is ahead of you is this wonderful road
憧れはいつも儚いけれど 輝きをくれるから
akogare wa itsumo hakanai keredo kagayaki o kureru kara
What we expect is usually ephemeral, but it will give you a brightness
大丈夫だって言い聞かせていれば
大概のことは上手くいく
やり方なんてきっとどうにかなってしまえば
正解に変わる All Right
[Yabu|Takaki|Yamada]daijōbu datte īkikase te ire ba

most things will go well
I'm sure your ways of doing things will change and will turn into the right answer. It's all right

[T/N:]The lines with no colours, mean everyone. This time I really changed the English parts, because I wanted the translated lines to make sense. So, it's a bit of my interpretation of their English. And as I wrote above, I think this is one of the best distribution of lines I've heard from them. Takaki should have more lines 'cause he is really good. And Yabu is amazing I really love his voice and the way he sings, I want to hear a solo coming from him, he's really weak at English though. And well, Yamada is not bad and is better at English pronunciation. Finally, this is my own perception, but I ended up liking very much this little encouraging song, it's the type of song I like to hear from time to time, someone telling me that everything will be okay. That's why I like so much Sho-kun's songs.
Plus, I think it fits perfectly with the thematic of the single. Nice choice.
So, this time my faves lines will go to.. well the 3 of them, I mean Yama-chan is great at this, he is really good at conveying emotion with his voice. Takaki is amazing and he always surprises me, mainly because I'm not used to listen to his singing, which is not entirely my fault since he usually has so few solo lines! And well, my favourite voice is obviously Yabu's, I really don't know why but I love his voice and his vibrato, so the first solo lines are really good, but I think my fave part is when the 3 of them are singing the chorus, I mean the part that repeats in the song, I'm so bad at this, and the voice that stands out is Yabu's. :D <3 But I still hate his colour,it's a pain for the eyes.
💿 Fantastic Time Single - English Lyrics
🎶 Never Let You Go
🎶 Wonder Road (ワンダーロード)
🎶 What A Feeling
Well, I think that's it. It's late and there's this heavy rest of the week awaiting, at least I got a slice of positivism, lol.
Then, I'll add a couple of the pics I've been collecting from them, this may end up being an Inoo-chan matsuri, lol.
So, who's this guy?
This kid really knows how to pose in front of a camera, just saying
I really liked this pic
Nice profile
And well..
Some Arashi here
And him.. Matsujun is looking so good lately.. actually I don't remember when he wasn't
* As usual pics not mine, mainly from Twitter or Tumblr, I guess.
And that's it. Some cute Inoo to finish, 'cause why not.
Jaa ne!
