This is truly such an encouraging song!! As you know from Luv Bias, I'm a sucker for song lyrics that are just one long sentence and this fits that description to a tee! The song actually seems really short based on the lyrics because the lines are so long, lol. But yeah, I definitely enjoyed working on all 3 of ABC-Z's songs!!! Good stuff. Enjoy ( Read more... )

YOOO this is such a BANGER. Can listen to it all day. And I LOVE themed lyrics. I tried to make the translations as sticky and gooey as possible to stay true to the original! Enjoy! ^_^

Like Kisumai, I didn't know much about ABC-Z since they debuted right as I was getting super into Arashi. The most I know of them is Tsuka-chan since he interacts with Arashi the most. But I actually REALLY liked the songs they sang in Johnny's Festival, especially Black Sugar and Tomo yo! But this debut single of theirs makes me feel a soft spot ( Read more... )

I am OBSESSED with this song. I have sung it on the karaoke app on my phone numerous times. I'm a sucker for lyrics that are like full sentences sung to a great melody, and this is one of those. If there's anything I wish this song had done differently, it's that I wish it was longer! It is criminally short! So good. Enjoy!!

This is another one for the English-Japanese hall of fame @__@ So difficult to make sense of some lines here with mixed languages, but I did my best! This is such a catchy song though and I really enjoyed watching them perform it with ABC-Z!

Hello!!! Took a short break to fix school stuff. Still in the midst of that, but I actually relax by translating songs so I actually have a bunch I can post. First up are the Kisumai songs! I actually don't know much about Kisumai since when they debuted I was just really getting into Arashi, but I enjoyed their performances in Johnny's Festival a ( Read more... )

FLOORED by this performance and how catchy the song was when I first saw it on Johnny's Festival! Honestly, I'd heard the recorded version before but the live performance really like... WHEW. It changed it for me. Like, the energy of it was so different?! I'm obsessed. Anyway, I have lots of translation notes for this since it relies heavily on ( Read more... )

This was nice and catchy when it was performed in Johnny's Festival! And like Fanfare, it was a pretty straightforward translation process, which I enjoyed. I didn't even have to look up any new words or readings for this (actually the readings can get tricky sometimes especially for songs, so do let me know in the comments if there are any ( Read more... )

After a weekend break, we're back! But slower, because I have many school things to work on, lol. But today I'm sharing the lyrics for HSJ's songs! Over the past few years, I've grown quite attached to JUMP, largely because I really enjoy their variety shows like Itadaki High Jump and School Kakumei. They're super entertaining and they seem to get ( Read more... )

I like this song a lot! And I really enjoyed the process of translating it too. In Filipino, マスカラ reminds me of "maskara" (mask), which is also pretty apporpriate for the context of the song, which is fun to think about. Yay! Enjoy!
