attack it! - Lyrics and English Translation
Huge thanks to the awesome that is Kiyomi @ aishitsuzukeru for the kanji lyrics!!! ♥
WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! attack it!! Let me start by apologizing to any driver on their morning commute who's glanced in their rearview mirror, only to see me screeching along like an idiot to this song. Thank you for not calling the cops on me. ^_^;;;
I love this song with its badass attitude! And yes, the image of "badass" Arashi makes me giggle and snort. Those two words do not belong in the same sentence together, although arashicrackaday would beg to differ. ♥ LOL

T/N: (aka boring linguistic flail)
• The song is made up mostly of choppy phrases (incomplete thoughts) or imperatives (commands), most of which have no subject (pro-drop!). So that was "fun." ^_^;;; A lot was left unsaid, so I had to wing it and insert a whole bunch to make things sound more coherent. Usually, I hold the firm belief that the translator should be as "invisible" as possible throughout the translation process, straying as little as possible from the original language. But in this case, I broke that rule. Call it a momentary lapse of artistic license. ^^;;;
• Stanza 5
笑顔にまみれた大怪獣
egao ni magireta daikaijyu
These huge monsters wearing grins
The "monsters" being referred to are Arashi themselves. "Kaijyuu" refers to a particular type of monster, the very large ones. Think Godzilla or King Kong. That type. Arashi has become "monsters", superidols on the same scale as Godzilla.
• Stanza 7
“砥いだ爪隠し牙を剥く”
“toida tsume kakushi kiba wo muku”
"Hide those sharpened claws and bare your fangs"
The line gets part of its meaning from the proverb: "nou aru taka wa tsume wo kakusu" = "the clever falcon hides its talons." It means, if you're smart, you'll hide your talents/assets and won't show them off (until it's time to use them). So the line from the song is basically saying, hide your talents, but show attitude by baring your fangs instead.
• Stanza 8
外野の言葉はシカトする！(Ha-ha!)
gaiya no kotoba wa shikato suru! (Ha-ha!)
We ignore the comments from the crowds! (Ha-ha!)
Arashi is not attempting to insult their fans here. The literal translation of "gaiya" = outfield (as in baseball), or crowds. In this case, the lyrics refers to the "peanut gallery" (for you Americans), the hecklers, the haters. Arashi is flipping the bird at its haters.
WOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! attack it!! Let me start by apologizing to any driver on their morning commute who's glanced in their rearview mirror, only to see me screeching along like an idiot to this song. Thank you for not calling the cops on me. ^_^;;;
