Yamada Yu - Holla! (kanji romaji English-translation)
OK I lied !! XD I wanted to get this out of the way. It didn't take much to do this anyway, you'll realize right away why that is ^_^;
I changed my style this time; you've got the English translation right away ('cause that's the main reason for this post). Beneath it you'll find kanji & romaji in alteration.
note: holla = A colloquial phrase, slang form of "holler", used as a greeting, can also refer to talking, or flirting. [source: Wikipedia]

Holla! turn the fire on right now
Oh till it seems we're on the verge of flaring up
Holla! it seems I'll burst any moment now
my entire body can't stop the excitement
Holla! if you want it gimme a sign
Oh whenever, I'm ready babe
Holla! this throbbing that's becoming so hot
if you've already noticed it holla at me boy
Though I thought you bothered me
I wonder why, why is it? That my eyes can't detach from your moves
Every time our eyes meet, inside my heart something burns up
Do you have this same special feeling? Just tell me!
(You are so fine)
I can't hide these feelings
(You blow my mind)
A fantasy that has no end
(Feelin' so high)
I'm engrossed by you (Oh oh oh or should I take it slow?)
No No 'cause I can't wait anymore
Holla! turn the fire on right now
Oh till it seems we're on the verge of flaring up
Holla! it seems I'll burst any moment now
my entire body can't stop the excitement
Holla! if you want it gimme a sign
Oh whenever, I'm ready babe
Holla! this throbbing that's becoming so hot
if you’ve already noticed it holla at me boy
You make me so crazy
I don't know what to do
You make me so crazy
Baby I Just wanna be with you
A daring night is OK, isn't it?
oh baby you acting so crazy
Your actions really turn me on
If you're going to step over the limit's borderline
baby don't stop at 8
what's important is taking it to the 9
(You are so fine)
I can't put this feeling back
(You blow my mind)
A dream-like fantasy
(Feelin' so high)
I'm engrossed by you (Oh oh oh or should I take it slow?)
No No 'cause I can't wait anymore
Holla! turn the fire on right now
Oh till it seems we're on the verge of flaring up
Holla! it seems I'll burst any moment now
my entire body can't stop the excitement
Holla! if you want it gimme a sign
Oh whenever, I'm ready babe
Holla! this throbbing that's becoming so hot
if you've already noticed it holla at me boy
I feel the thrill, that's not bad either
Baby it's time to make a move tonight
I wish you'd tell me your feelings by sunrise
Maybe we can be together now
You make me so crazy
I don't know what to do
You make me so crazy
Baby I Just wanna be with you
(You are so fine)
I can't hide these feelings
(You blow my mind)

My own thoughts?
I'll start off by saying I hate the word holla! It gives me a dirty feeling, and having someone holler at me is just an image I can't stand. We're not animals yo!
As you could see, the song doesn't seem to have much substance. Aside from the fact that she repeats the same part (let's call it chorus) 4 times, and in between there's close to no lyrics, there's just no meaning. This is the kind of song that gives pop its bad reputation! I'm sorry for being so harsh, but really; I don't like the melody, and I don't like the lyrics. I'm OK with slightly adult-like songs, but if we're to take NEWS' Bambina for example (and I don't think I'm biased at all here), there's more to the lyrics than just, "I want you, please notice me!". At least the lyrics are more elaborate XD It seems like she can't convey her own feelings through this song, which is understandable since she didn't write the lyrics. Which brings up another sad side-effect to all this: wasn't this supposed to be about Oguri Shun -her current boyfriend? 1) she didn't write the lyrics; 2) this is so empty I feel sorry for Shun XD I thought it'd be a little more romantic -though I should have known, seeing what the title is ^_^;
All in all, this song reminds me of Bioncé. I never liked her.. so, this is understandable.
Do you like the song? Am I being too harsh here?
