Akanishi Jin, the number one man of the day, お誕生日おめでとう! I couldn’t think of anything else so give him. ^^; I’m no graphic maker extraordinaire so that option is completely obliterated, LOL. I’ve had this project months before, so hopefully this came out as passable. XD The translations, I must say, is not 100% on point. I wanted everything to rhyme (I’m such a stickler for rhyming words Y___Y) while retaining the true meaning of the song as well, so it’s not gonna be exactly the same words from a translation you’d see in the internet.

Like and hate and love and other things, I’m too weak to just face all that it brings
Simple words, yet hard to string
And now today’s that single special day that arrives to us once a year
Just from time to time, ‘till the end of time, and no matter the song or rhyme
Just like your smile so naïve, like the way you fix your sleeve, everything you are and you do is what I cling to
And now you’re here, standing near and smiling back
Now I’ll never need the things I lack
This joy and bliss and warmth I feel tells me all of this is real
Because of you who gave me light, tomorrow’s bright.
Like a mother’s care and the warmth she brings
With her love and the melody her heart sings
I can go through anything
To the friends we’ve kept within our hearts and the gentleness they convey
We may break our bones as we break our hearts but the happiness won’t go away
One by one, you to me, all those countless memories
Can you promise me all of these will never cease
The time will come when we would have to part our ways
Be born into a different place
But both of us will meet this way, I will await that fateful day
And I will love you just as much come what may.
There may be things that will confront us and will test the bonds we’ve made
But don’t give up (Don’t give up)
Hold my hand, (Don’t hide) I’ll be your guide, I’m right here by your side
If I could have a single wish, one that would last
May I request a spell be cast?
So you would never have to cry, not one tear against your eye
To keep your smile for me to see eternally
A life like this side by side right here with you
With brilliant smiles of just us two
With hope and strength I’ll hold your hand in mine
With this our stars will realign
And it will be, you and me, come what may
Thank you for today.
To this eternally golden boy Akanishi Jin, I cannot even begin to explain what roller coaster of emotions you’ve subjected me into for the majority of my teenage life. First, I hated you with a passion. Then, I liked you with not much of a passion. And now, you’ve made me love every fiber of your effing being-your music, your dancing, your personality, your general idiocy. You’ve made me smile, laugh, spazz, hyperventilate, roll around in disappointment, cry, but it’s you, so I will and most probably in the future as well, let it slip. You’re back on square one-this is where you have to test your balance, gain a proper foothold and stay on that wire. You can do it. You can do anything. We’ll back you up in a split second. So go do what you got to do. Have a most amazing birthday, our golden boy. :))
