【Free!】 lyrics: Mirai e no STROKE ／ Shiokaze no Friendship
Forgive me, I'm recovering from a slight mental shutdown after listening through the new Diabolik Lovers character songs for the first time and consequently deciding it would also be a great idea to watch the only 2 episodes of the anime that've already come out...all in the same day... （￣□￣；） ...why am I surprised...i shouldn't be surprised by this series anymore...what is this I don't even...i can't...i have lost the ability to can... Back on track now! Alrighty, Vol.2 features Makoto! And I just had to look it up in my taglist because the seiyuu's name seemed familiar to me, but it's the same guy who voices Ranmaru from UtaPri! Go figure~ I liked his singing voice as Makoto a lot more than I expected to, even though he still has that slightly nasal-sounding thinness with some of the higher notes that I associate with reed instruments because I have been a band nerd for far too long now NOT to. BUT THAT'S OKAY!! I liked it anyway. He's actually one of my more-favorites in this group~
- Not much in the way of notes this time. These songs were fairly straightforward and an absolute joy to translate~ This may have something to do with the fact that I'm hyped up on caffeine right now and can focus much better because of the fact, but still! My only real comment is that "Shiokaze no Friendship" was written towards Haruka. No speculation this time. It's practically fact. ^^
Next up is Rin, the pointy-toothed weirdo with attitude issues~
Also, HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY, CORDA!!! Actually, I'm a bit late with that one. The first game was originally released for Windows on September 19, 2003, but I saw a crap-ton of fanart celebrating it on pixiv last night, and the second set of 10th Anniversary cds were released today, so hey~

心をさあ 明日へ繋ぐように
描いてもっともっと 自由な情熱で
俺たちなら どこまでも行ける
信じて目指して進んでく それぞれのストローク
きっと自然な成り行きで
だけど、こうなればいいなと思ったよ
みんなと作ったこの場所は
誰ひとり欠けたって何か違ってたね
Sunny blue sky 今(目を細めて)
奇跡のなかで(眩しい)
一緒に見る景色を忘れない
伸ばした手は 夢を繋ぎながら
ここからもっともっと 遠くの輝きへ
力強い 今日のはじまりに
精一杯の想いを込めた 未来へのストローク
どんなことだって付き合うけど
できればみんなが望んだカタチがいい
満場一致なんてゼイタクも
あながち絵空事じゃない気がしてるよ
Sunny true smile ただ(真っ直ぐに)
笑顔になれる(お互い)
仲間がいる毎日がうれしくて
心をさあ 明日へ繋ぐように
描いてもっともっと 自由な情熱で
俺たちなら どこまでも行ける
信じて目指して進んでく それぞれのストローク
伸ばした手は 夢を繋ぎながら
ここからもっともっと 遠くの輝きへ
力強い 今日のはじまりに
精一杯の想いを込めた 未来へのストローク

Translation:
So that our hearts are tied together tomorrow,
We’ll depict it more and more with this free passion
As long as we’re together, we can go anywhere
Believing in and aiming towards our goals, we’ll keep moving forward with every stroke
Surely the outcome’s only natural,
Though I thought it would be fine whatever happened
This place I’ve created with everyone
Something feels different, like someone’s missing
Sunny blue sky, now (squinting my eyes)
Within this miracle (so dazzling)
I won’t forget the scene we’re seeing together
As my outstretched hands connect to this dream,
From here, more and more, towards that distant shine
Strongly, since today began,
I’ve been completely filled with these emotions, with every stroke toward the future
We’re always together no matter what, but
If it were possible and everyone could use the form they wished,
Even with such a unanimous extravagance,
I get the feeling that it’s not necessarily wishful thinking
Sunny true smile, if we (honestly)
Could just smile (each of us)
We’d be so happy everyday with our friends
So that our hearts are tied together tomorrow,
We’ll depict it more and more with this free passion
As long as we’re together, we can go anywhere
Believing in and aiming towards our goals, we’ll keep moving forward with every stroke
As my outstretched hands connect to this dream,
From here, more and more, towards that distant shine
Strongly, since today began,
I’ve been completely filled with these emotions, with every stroke toward the future

この町で一緒に育ってきたね
ホラ、思い出はそこら中 溢れているよ
学校までの道 夕日に染まる海
見慣れた景色の数 過ごした時間
毎日があたり前に 優しく映るのは
変わらない関係でいれるから
潮風のなかでこれからもずっと
何気ない日常をかさねていけたらいいね
いつも感じてる温かいキズナ
ほっとする存在は、俺たちらしいカタチのfriendship
言わなくてもなんか分かってしまうんだ
無表情に見えて顔に書いてある
キミが楽しそうに泳いでいる姿
傍で見てるこっちまで うれしくなるよ
お互いが自然体で だからかけがえないね
そんなコト改めて思ったり
いつものペースで隣を歩いて
俺たちの足取りでゆっくり大人になろう
つまずいた時は手を貸せるように
暗黙の了解で安心しあえる距離で、今日も
潮風のなかでこれからもずっと
いつものペースで隣を歩いて
キミと一緒にこの町でこれからもずっと
何気ない日常をかさねていけたらいいね
いつも感じてる温かいキズナ
ほっとする存在は、俺たちらしいカタチのfriendship

Translation:
We’ve grown up together in this town
See, memories are overflowing everywhere
The road to school, the sea dyed with the setting sun,
The countless familiar scenery, the time that’s passed
Everyday is usually so peaceful
As our relationship never changes
In the salty sea breeze, even after this, forever
It’d be great if these nonchalant days could continue
We always feel this warm bond
Feeling at ease is the form of our own friendship
Even if you don’t say anything, I still understand somehow
It’s written all over your expressionless face
You seem to have such fun when you’re swimming
Just being here by your side and watching is enough to make me happy, too
This mutual relaxed feeling we have is irreplaceable
I can’t help but think so time after time
Walking side by side at our usual pace
We’ll become adults at ease by our own footsteps
Knowing we’ll lend each other a hand whenever the other stumbles,
We can have peace of mind from this unspoken agreement the whole way, today as well
In the salty sea breeze, even after this, forever
We’ll walk side by side at our usual pace
Together with you, in this town, even after this, forever
It’d be great if these nonchalant days could continue
We always feel this warm bond
Feeling at ease is the form of our own friendship
