Baby's First Single! \o/
... Forgive the title. xD
"Start" is good, ok? It's a sing-along song, has a nice beat and the arrangement fits his voice much better this time. ...Tell me otherwise and I'll EAT YOUR FACE. There is always room for improvement, darling, don't give up! ♥
I admit that "Sun will Shine~" has these disjointed, non 4/4 drums I violently dislike in pop songs and I can't for the life of me figure out why they just won't let him keep his voice the normal level, like say, his myu-singing? Argh. Also, this song is too verbose (I broke a sweat translating it adhdkdshslah D:), but. BUT. He wrote up those lyrics all by himself and evidently wanted to stuffstuffstuff everything he thought of into one little song, and that's so adorable I just.... GAH. ♥♥♥ I can so see him chewing on a pen in concentration, pondering what to write. Seriously. SOCUTE.
That said, pictures! :D
YES PLEASE.
So much microphone loving going on lately! This one's approved too! :3
Can't skip the light emotional distress!
Real rockstars always got to to do that soulful bending over the mike thing too. :D
And the passionate singing thing. :D
Masa's specialty: getting cosy with walls.
But hope always shines through. <3
Making of!
HAY THAR. :3
"Today we're at the Carribbean Sea. Take a look at those blue-tinted emerald waves. Of this Carribbean sea. I like the sea."
(If you remember the Making Of for the "Boku ga Iru" PV, there it was "the outskirts of London." xDDD)
Okay, I just liked the wind-effect here. :)
"Why yes, I know I'm cute, but thanks for asking. <3"
Since this entry is getting way too long already, I'll only post the translations here. You can check the romaji typed up by drkparadise here. Of course that link is where you can find all the links to download. :)
START
Say, what can we seize? Say, what can we do?
We, who take a step forward will surely find it
These unstoppable feelings, the beating of this passionate heart
I have heard the voice of truth
I only found it when I got hurt
The way of becoming stronger
I collect dreams on my palm
And one day they'll connect me to you
Shout the signal of the start, searching for your soul
These rigid, half-hearted days, you will overcome them
Make a dash, the glittering future will surely be in your hand
Embrace those bonds you believe in, and hurry towards tomorrow
How far are we able to go? Where are we facing?
The answer will definitely come to us
These undefeated feelings, we're gonna let their light shine now
I have grasped the courage to go forward -
It was the pain that made me feel
What it means to keep on standing
Those new moments
Are always heading towards you
Echo the signal of the start, make even the sky burn
Faltering and hesitation, just cast them all away
Make a dash, you will surely meet your greatest self
Face the hopes you always had and run towards tomorrow
I only found it when I got hurt
The way of becoming stronger
I collect dreams on my palm
And one day they'll connect me to you
Shout the signal of the start, searching for your soul
These rigid, half-hearted days, you will overcome them
Make a dash, the glittering future will surely be in your hand
Ignite a spark, and you surely meet your greatest self
Face the hopes you always had and run towards tomorrow -
--------------------------
Sun will shine away
The sadness of being apart, all the feelings I've pondered
I've looked into my heart and sealed them all
So useless I feel and inside of me, the feeling of regret is swelling up
Emotions that find no outlet, keep roaming about
Whatever happens, no matter when, I kept my resolve and faced the challenge
Every time, that's right, I can do it, I will take flight towards tomorrow
The things I pictured in my mind, I thought were my everything
The things I kept in my heart, they were the answer for you and me
When the worries finally stop, then let's think a bit and start walking
When we finally shake off the weakness of the past, then let's look up to the sky and create our future
Sun will shine away・・・
The stars dashing across the night sky, inside that downpour of light
They run so earnestly and shine all the while
While they protected me with tranquility, they also taught me sternness
I was embraced by loving arms
Whatever happens, never forget what's important, hide it inside your heart
Every time, that's right, you can do it, take flight towards the future
When I look up to the shining night sky, I shout out every time
I wish upon the wandering stars, for you and me, and for the whole world
When the night sky fills with stars, that glittering there is where happiness lies
And when you collect these fragments of happiness, they'll become the sun that shines upon us
The city awakens quietly and I stand and face today
Looking upwards, to the morning glow, I remember you
Soon the morning sun climbs towards the sky that embraces you and me
The sparkling light illuminates the way, for you and me and for the whole world
When the world fills with smiles, those smiles alone will turn into happiness
And when you collect these fragments of happiness, they'll become the sun that shines upon us
Sun will shine away・・・

The new, shiny, peppy blog-translation journal, an initiative by juudenkanryou and the cooperation of several translators. Yours truly will be supplying the weekly dose of Masa-blog and some princely memoirs (i.e Ouji xD) so definitely check us out! ♥ Not much going on yet, but expect the first update this Sunday.
P.s 2: Okay, Gokusen 3? Definitely the hottest collection of every current ikemen idol EVER. Not to mention that they keep turning all our angelic, funny myuboys into bad, bad, BAAAD apples. Observe.
One more down for the Tenimyu bingo, folks. :D
(I also LOL'd a good minute, 'cause that picture? Perfect. xD You know the running joke of poor Jackal always being abused without reason in some form or other, right? And now even Buchou's going "Tarundoru!" on him! xD The only thing that photo needs is a big red caption of "ORE KA YO?!!". xDDD)
P.s 3: Go and watch the Sex and the City movie. It's pure fun / heartbreak / genius. Really. ♥
