I now have the kanji lyrics for this album (I'm so excited!!!)! I will surely have the romaji up a day or two after my finals are over on the 16th (Wednesday

Sorry for the late reply, but I was trying to come up with something for the sea, failed, and forgot to answer you until now. I'm so special sometimes it's not even funny >.< I'm not too sure what he means (my Japanese is still not that good yet), but he does say "I see (an) eternal sea for me in your eyes" and mentions the sea again later in "dance." At least, I think that's how you'd translate "kimi no me wa boku no tame ni eien no umi wo miteru." Maybe it's something like desire or love. Since "dance" has a sort of passionate love aspect and "And I can't feel nothing" has a depressed lack of pleasure (or any feeling at all like it says), that's kind of my shot in the dark interpretation of what he's referring to with "sea." I could be WAY off (analyzing poetry is not one of my strong points >.<). Even more confusing for me was the april reference.

I started self-study about 4 years ago (didn't get very far, just learned vocab and how to read katakana and hiragana. I think I only memorized the kanji for kazoku and iku lol). Last year, I started to take a class at my college (since they didn't offer it at my high school). I'm in second semester of 2nd year japanese starting 1/6. My skills still suck, but I'm getting there ^_^
That's cool. My sensei is Russian from New York, but we have a native speaker for drill sessions, and she's cool. My sensei goes really slow too and he also over explains things that would be a lot better with a little explanation and lots of examples. The native speaker we have is a total otaku and a major Arashi fan (I'm kind of embarrassed to say that I'm a huge Arashi fan, but mostly for their tv shows and not for their music, which is probably apparent from my love for Kiyoharu). At my session, that stuff is all we talk about instead of our lesson like what most of my classmates do. Japanese is the only class I have that I can expect to get an A in :)
