Arashi - Bokura no hibi - Kaito

[chuline]

Hi!! I feel like it's been so long~ since my last lyrics entry, so here we go again and I'm kind of happy because I was sad before doubting whether we would get another coupling song coming from Arashi, but we did! and this one is my favorite~ so let's get to it!

Okay! ARASHI is back to a physical release and with a couple of b-side songs which are always gems :D Plus, I think I'm planning to have a batch of like 3 songs this time~ I only have two of them ready, but the third is too good to avoid...we'll see.



This song is a little upbeat and super sweet, super-duper sweet and I think I especially love their voices 💗 The lyricist and composer of this song have worked with them before with the song "After the Rain" and with Kat-tun's あの日のまま and GREATEST JOURNEY. I got kanji from here, about colors, well, it's something that I rarely do with Arashi, but you can find some very detail images here. Let's go with my try with the lyrics,

ARASHI

僕らの日々

Lyricist：Nai-T
Composer：Nai-T

僕らの日々に　満ち溢れたキセキを
いま二人　探しに出かけよう
心のピントを　すぐそばに合わせて
小さな愛の種を　育ててゆこう

柔らかい午後の　日差しに包まれて
キミの声をずっと　聞いていたいな　もっと
息を弾ませて　笑うあどけない　顔も
いつまでも　この胸騒ぐのさ

きっと　あの日から　始まった未来を
いま僕らこの場所で　色付けているんだ
キミと僕の　同じ想いで描く色鮮やかな
明日を歩こう

そう誰より　一番近くで　キミを感じるたびに
また一つ　生まれるストーリー
たった一瞬だけの　煌めきだって　ずっと
胸に焼き付けたい
そんな風に　僕らの日々に　満ち溢れたキセキを
いま二人　探しに出かけよう
心のピントを　すぐそばに合わせて
小さな愛の種を　育ててゆこう

窓越しに見える　街路樹を見つめて
花が咲いたねって　キミが笑う　One day
意味のない歌を　口ずさみながら　二人
笑い合った　他愛のないYesterday

ずっと　同じだって　信じていたけど
変わり続けてるんだ　街も僕たちも
そうだきっと　今日のキミには二度と会えない
だから一秒だって　宝物

向かい合わせの　キミと僕の瞳で
巡り行く　日々を見つめれば
360度　見渡す限りの
大きなパノラマになる
そんな風に　今日も明日も　何十年先でも
ありふれた　日常の中に
心躍るよな　輝きを見つけて
果てなく遠い未来を　照らしてゆこう

通り雨が上がったら　目に映る景色が　ほら
まぶしいほど　ときめいて　僕らを包む

そう誰より　一番近くで　キミを感じるたびに
また一つ　生まれるストーリー
たった一瞬だけの　煌めきだって　ずっと
胸に焼き付けたい
そんな風に　僕らの日々に　満ち溢れたキセキを
いま二人　探しに出かけよう
心のピントを　すぐそばに合わせて
小さな愛の種を　育ててゆこう

ARASHI

僕らの日々
Our days

Lyricist：Nai-T
Composer：Nai-T

Our days are filled with miracles,
now, the two of us, let's go find them.
By having the focus of our hearts, really closely combined
let's nurture the small seeds of love.

In a soft afternoon, wrapped in sunlight,
I want to keep listening to your voice, all the time, more.
Your gasping for breath, your innocent smile, and your face,
you always stir my heart. 💓

For sure, the future that started since that day
is changing the colors of the place where we are now,
it's because the same memories that you and I shared painted it in bright colors.
Let's walk forward.

Every time I feel you're the closest one, more than anyone else
another story is born.
Even if it's a sparkle that lasts just for an instant,
I want to engrave it into my heart forever.
In that way, our days are filled with miracles
so, the two of us now, let's go and find them.
By combining the focus of our hearts really close
let's keep cultivating the small seeds of love.

Looking through the window, staring at the roadside trees
one day, I said 'the flowers have bloomed!' and you smiled
two people humming a meaningless song
smiling together in a childish yesterday.

Although I thought it would always stay the same,
it keeps changing, the town, both of us as well.
That's right, I'm sure I'll never meet the person you are today, again,
that's why even a second is a treasure.

Face to face, looking into your pupils,
going around, the days we stared at each other's eyes
it becomes a 360-degree vast panorama
as far as the eye can see.
In that way, today, tomorrow, even decades ahead
in the mundane every day,
my heart pounds, finding brightness
let's illuminate the endless distant future with it.

When the rain on the streets stops, the scenery is reflected in your eyes, see,
it's dazzling, fluttering, wrapping us both.

Every time I feel you're the closest one, more than anyone else
another story is born.
Even if it's a sparkle that lasts just for an instant
I want to engrave it into my heart forever.
In that way, our days are filled with gems
so, the two of us now, let's go and find them.
By combining the focus of our hearts really close
let's keep cultivating the small seeds of love.



[T/N]:
This songs makes my heart go kyun!, it's so super sweet, I usually dislike super cheesy songs, but this is talking about mundane everyday life which is one of my biggest preferences in song themes! I just love it, okay?
Okay, let's see, I love the vocals, for everyone, and I love the little solos, and the duos, so check the colors, 'cause I don't have time to put a lot of hearts here~ This translation is not literal, but I tried to keep the order as much as I could, and I'm sorry about probable and possible mistakes, I'll talk a little now about some notes here and there~

- I'm sorry if some stanzas sound kind of weird in terms of structure order, it was because I wanted to keep the original order...I loved the part of 'small seeds of love' that's why is highlighted.

- There's this term, '胸' which I always, most of the time choose to translate as 'heart' but it also means 'chest'

- The part of 'never meeting the you from today ever again' was not phrased like this... I hope it makes sense~ but, that makes every single second a treasure! wow kyun!

- The part with the staring and the 360 degrees is tricky, the only thought about this is it becomes a 360-degree panorama because each other is looking at the scenery in the others, so they have the two halves(?), I'm basing this on the next stanza when the rain stops.

- In the last part, I used 'cultivating' because I don't know a thing about plants, and I thought that verb maybe was a better choice?

- Okay, I purposely left this till the end, because kiseki is written in katakana, the most known meaning, that I know is 'miracles' which is the one I used the first couple of times, but if you check the kanjis that you pronounce like this, there are a couple and I remember this from Ninomiya Kazunari's cover of KISEKI, GReeeeN's super famous song, which also plays with that, using katakana in the title I think. This time the katakana remains during the song, and by the end, I chose to use the meaning of 'precious stone; jewel; gem' from this kanji 貴石 because it made me feel like it resounds with the searching part~ like you'll look for something precious... but don't trust me, please! lol, it's just my crazy idea! 💎

The setting of the lyrics is amazing, I can picture the warm afternoon, the after-the-rain part, the part of the present being changed by being painted by the colors of their memories is one of my favorites, each setting is just mundanely outstandingly beautiful! just as this single!

And that is it! I love ARASHI and I'm so glad they gave us new coupling songs because coupling songs are filled with kiseki! LOL, I'll stop now, I think I'll leave the next song for tomorrow because it's kind of late... but before leaving, let's enjoy some super cute fanarts!!

I can't insert this one, I'm sorry, credit to Twitter @ ao_ao1128, but it's so beautiful! Look at cool water-Jun protecting his image!!



This is also super cute and makes me laugh :D I loved their answers
