So, I'm here waiting for my friend to come which means that I won't be able to finish this post in one go. But this is nothing new since I've been working on and off with this song for more than a month, it's been a really crazy end of the year so far and I'll talk a little bit about that at the end, let's first start with the lyrics. This is a coupling song for Kimi no Uta's single and it's a very catchy song, I like that it's upbeat and also that it has pretty interesting lyrics, you'll see. This song is written by a lyricist that has worked with many johnnies groups and many songs. But it surprised me that I rather like these lyrics haha.
I got the kanji here.
嵐( ARASHI )
Fake it
作詞：HIKARI
作曲：Kevin Charge・HIKARI
Yeah... Just fake it
何か確かな言葉 欲しがる僕と はぐらかす君
蓋(けだ)し象徴的な 二人の関係性 I rather like it
初めからEvenじゃないくらいは
分かってる でも もう遅すぎるんだ
どうしようも無いほどに今じゃ 君に惹かれてる
If you number your lover どの辺りにいる
ダメだ ご無体だ I go insane
So I need you baby
Come and love me, kiss me, kill me このまま
側にいるだけでも 構わないから
君が望むなら I'll be waiting in the line
ガラス張りの 愛を眺めて
Yeah, won't you please
Fake it, fake it, fake it その場限りの夢でいいよ
Fake it, fake it, fake it 君がくれるなら 抗う理由はない
どんな痛みも消してしまうから
Ah...
形あるもの皆 朽ち果てるのと 煙に巻く君
本音に裏打ちされた イビツな感受性 I rather like it
If you don't know me by now 全部曝(さら)したっていい
ダメだ Unfairだ I lose my mind
So I need you baby
Come and love me, kiss me, kill me 今さら
出会う前になんて 戻れないから
君が命ずなら I'll be waiting up all night
報われぬ 愛を数えて
No, won't you please
Fake it, fake it, fake it 偽りの情愛でいいよ
Fake it, fake it, fake it 君が好むなら 躊躇う理由はない
道化師だって演じ切るから
So I need you baby
Come and love me, kiss me, kill me このまま
側にいるだけでも 構わないから
君が望むなら I'll be waiting in the line
ガラス張りの 愛を眺めて
So I need you baby
Come and love me, kiss me, kill me 今さら
出会う前になんて 戻れないから
君が命ずなら I'll be waiting up all night
報われぬ 愛を数えて
Yeah, won't you please
Fake it, fake it, fake it その場限りの夢でいいよ
Fake it, fake it, fake it 君がくれるなら 抗う理由はない
どんな痛みも消してしまうから

Fake it
Yeah... Just fake it
Something like honest words between the wishful me and the evasive you
is probably symbolic. That's the relationship between us and I rather like it.
It wasn't even close to something fair since the beginning
I'm aware of that, but it's already too late.
I'm already at a point of being useless, enchanted by you.
If you number your lovers, from all around
I'm done, it's cruel. I'll go insane.
So I need you baby
Come and love me, kiss me, kill me, like this
I don't mind, even if it means just being by your side
At your wish, I'll be waiting in the line,
looking at love through the glass.
Yeah, won't you please
Fake it, fake it, fake it I'm okay with this fleeting dream
Fake it, fake it, fake it If you let me have it I have no reason to oppose it
because it'll erase all my pain.
[Hey yeah]
Ah... Everyone owning a shadow falls by your distractions
and is forced to back up your real intentions.
That's your crooked sensitivity and I rather like it.
If you don't know me by now, I'm fine with exposing it all
I'm worthless. I'm unfair. I lose my mind
So I need you baby
Come and love me, kiss me, kill me, at this point
I can't return to the time before meeting you
To your command, I'll be waiting up all night
I'm counting all the times you broke my heart.
No, won't you please
Fake it, fake it, fake it I'm okay with a fake affection
Fake it, fake it, fake it If you want, there are no reasons to hesitate
because even a clown can play his act.
[Hey yeah]
So I need you baby
Come and love me, kiss me, kill me, like this
I don't mind if it's just being by your side
If you wish, I'll be waiting in line
Looking at love through the glass
So I need you baby
Come and love me, kiss me, kill me, by now,
I can't return to the time before I met you
If you order, I'll be waiting up all night
counting my unrequited demonstrations of love.
Yeah, won't you please
Fake it, fake it, fake it I'm okay with this fleeting dream
Fake it, fake it, fake it If you let me have it I have no reason to oppose it
because it'll erase all my pain.
[Hey yeah]
[T/N]: There's been a while since I can finish some Arashi's song. But I'm quite pleased with the result, after all the time it took me, ha. But, like always I'm sorry about the unintentional mistakes and the ones for lack of knowledge. This looks like a song from a huge DoM POV, I couldn't think of anything else while advancing with the lyrics. He's okay with asking her to fake in order to have a relationship. He just wants to be with her.
I think it's pretty interesting in the structure of the lyrics, it made me feel pretty concerned at one point, but I liked how it is pretty consistent and the way the female is disclosed through the emotions and point of view of the one singing the song.
As usual, I translated a couple of verses that were the same in two different ways. Between [ ] there's this tiny bit that wasn't in the lyrics.
The part with italics was the hardest one, I hope it didn't end up so bad... But the lyrics are pretty and there's a parallel between the stanzas.
I rather like this single. I mean the songs are pretty good, I think the one I like the most after the single song and this is probably Sky Again, I like the long intro, and let's face it, I like this type of songs, so there's no much loss there. Plus Jun-kun starts the song :D
I'm actually expecting this song so much, I loved the short PV and their voices!
<3<3
Well, before finishing this and going to sleep, I wanted to sort of leave here an explanation, I've been a little bit crazy about the end of the year, I had many exams to correct and to prepare for, and also! I decided to work with 5th year with a blog. I was doubtful whether they would like the experience or not, but the result was so cute! I'm still in love with it. They wrote! and I was in love with their writings <3 And drained! I had so much to correct periodically and my need of writing here eventually disappeared, since I was putting all my efforts there lol, it was a really curious experiment, actually, it looks like I don't mind where as long as I'm able to blog, to get these words out of my mind, all I need is that. But it ended now, and I'm happy we got that experience. It was a bit exhausting and they weren't used to do such a thing at all but maybe, maybe just one of them will consider having a blog somewhere sometime in the future and I'd share this amazing hobby with someone else, so I'm happy haha.
And that was one of the reasons this got abandoned by a month or so, also my subbing project, I'm going to continue with that now, but I'm so behind! I feel so sorry about it, I'm still watching SUITS though, the American version. The only dorama I'm actively following by now is the one with the sensei-student weird relationship haha I love the music and I got so hooked, I have to know how the story develops. The actress is a little exasperating but overall is a well-done dorama.
Like I said, I'm expecting KK's new single, oh and I'm sorry about Sou-chan, it's terrible that he was also suffering from this disease, I hope he can get better soon. I also watched a couple of Dorokei's episodes, it wasn't that bad... Kenty is getting better...
I love fanarts
Oh, and overall I'm happy to have met Arashi :D I couldn't answer that question on Twitter, I was really drained of words lol, but where would I be if I haven't known Arashi?
If you didn't discover Arashi, what kind of person would you have been? Would there have been a big change? What wouldn't have happened in your life without Arashi?
Well, you can't really know for sure of course, but Arashi led me to so many glittery and sparkly boys that put a smile on my face and allowed me to find a place where I can let out of my head all the words and emotions. I certainly don't know the answer to those questions, because I'm in a place where I'm pointless, I can't return to that point where I was before meeting them. I know I'm not even close to where they are but I like this 'fake' relationship so much! I like watching their concerts thinking they're also including me in their speeches. I also have 'found' them. I'm also included, and this fake love has put so many smiles and laughs, their music cheers me up to the point I don't need anything else but listening to their voices, 'cause Sho-kun, Riida, Matsujun, Nino and Aiba-chan's voices make me feel in a familiar place, Arashi is like a happy place and I can't thank them enough for keep remaining to be my happy place.
There's this smell, this perfume I used to wear when I got to know them, and every time I smell it again, well that's discovering-Arashi's smell and that feeling is amazing, I don't use that perfume anymore, because it's special, I want to remain like that, unique and full of smiles and with that feeling of new. I don't know what kind of person I would be, but probably a different one that would lack this amazing perfume full of kira-kira memories of 5 amazing guys shinning in sequins. I'll work hard to make this relationship less 'fake', I'll see them someday... Well, one still can wish :D
ninoai <3 - Just know, spare me some space and let me enjoy this amazing pic obviously not mine!
This whole rambling is just a pun on the lyrics I always like to do and a sort of response to those fans that have them all to themselves and get so angry with those fans who don't because of sharing 'illegally'. It's wrong we all know that, but just give us a break, it's all we have. If someone hadn't done it at some point I wouldn't even be having the chance to answer the Arashi question, to begin with.
Let's share the kira-kira guys with the world, 'kay?
I'm in love with this pic <3
