"Shake it!"
You would think a song with quite a bit of English in it would be easier to translate, but it's quite the opposite. There's some quite... inventive... English parts in here, and even now I'm pretty confused about what a couple of them are meant to mean in connection with the Japanese ^^;;
I'll add notes at the bottom to make certain bits clearer.

CHEMISTRY - Why
If this life was to come to an end,
I could never hear your voice again.
If I were to be reborn, I can’t deny the chance
We may meet again
But if only you would stay by my side right now …
Oh why why why

Oh why why why
Oh why why why
My wishes for endless ( Read more... )
