Camellia - Tamamori Yuta - "MUSIC COLOSSEUM"

[chuline]

So, I'm just taking a little break, because all of this can be a bit frustrating, I mean life in general, maybe? Anyway, I was listening to Kisumai's new album and there were a couple of songs that caught my attention, but this one was so especially cute and encouraging that I couldn't help it and try to translate this, so here we go

I don't use my livejournal much but I wanted to log in and say thank you so much for translating this song! I was waiting for the translation ever since the song was announced, so I was really grateful. After reading your translation, the song holds an even more special place in my heart now, too! The first time I read the translation I was listening to the song as well, and I started bawling honestly. I still tear up every time I listen to it, because it feels like a special message and is really relatable, too. Tama has been my bias since 2013, so I feel proud that he sang such a touching song. Also, you mentioned that his voice has a certain weakness to it. I've noticed this when he sings too! Some people might see it as a negative point, but I've always liked it. It kind of gives him that boy next door feel I think and makes him seem more down to earth in a way, and I think it having a weakness to it is fitting for the song as well. It makes the song very human, if you get what I mean

Hi! Thanks a lot for the comment and all your thoughts on this song. I really love this song too. I'm really glad my translation helped you to get, at least a bit, its beautiful message. Tama-chan is amazing ne? Even though he always looks so cool, he is also so down to earth and sounds really sincere. I really like his solos and yes I totally get what you mean about his voice, and that was exactly my thought after listening to this song <3 he did a great job at transmitting this encouraging message :D (I'd love to watch his live perf)

Hello

Hi! Camellia is such an amazing song, it's on my playlist at work and I love it every time it pops up! I'm missing my playlist there... I love his voice, yes, it's sweet, like talking to your heart with an emphatic vibe, I don't know how to describe it, I think I always fail when trying, it's one of my favorites from him, maybe even a little more than Love Story.
I think it was around 'I scream' that I started listening to their music and I remember being excited after solo songs in this album, well at least from some of them...I loved the other solo ballads but this was so perfect <3

To compare Camellia to Love Story, that's hard huh, lyrics wise I like Camellia more because it's more relatable, but Tama's voice wise... I can't, his voice in Love Story was much sweeter XD I guess he improved a lot too.

Yes, if you would like to correct it please do so, I'm glad I can be of help :)

Yes! voice wise his improvement was so noticeable~ I love his performance, it was great.
And, yes, it's hard to choose one, between the two songs :D
