[Lyrics] Saite Ikiyou Translation
I obviously have no sense of priorites. Oh wait, that's not quite right. It's very obvious that my priority is Kanjani8, which totally should not be the case! But oh well.
I made other attempts at translating lyrics last night, when I had no internet connection. >.> And today I wasn't able to go to school for free internet, so now I'm at an internet cafe just so I can post these attempts. *sigh* soooo weird, Yna. >.>
I'll shut up now and get to the lyrics. Kanji thanks to

* The kanji combination咲いて生きよ can mean either of those (or some other combination of the meanings), so I’m not sure which one it is.
**kanji is “shunkan” but Subaru sang it as “toki”
*** I’m not sure which one it is, if it’s even either of those, because it’s in hiragana and not kanji. 行 (Iku) = go and生きる(Ikiru) = live can both be root words for “ikanai”
I’m not all that confident with my Japanese yet, so if there are any corrections/mistranslations please do tell me. I appreciate help.
