Sora Takaku - Lyrics and Translation

Jan 27, 2010 21:33

The Saigo no Yakusoku theme song. This one was actually really fun to translate! Sakurap is as awesome as usual, but attempting to transcribe it nearly killed me. But it's always fun to try to get in Sho's head and decipher the meaning behind his words. Honestly Sho, only you would think of lyrics using 'ranhansha' and 'kanransha' together ( Read more... )

lyrics, *s, album: boku no mite iru fuukei, saigo no yakusoku, translation

Nope, still up and STILL updating. *sigh* And yeah, this translation went pretty smoothly. Now, onto the next project! *rubs hands together*

Ooooh, thank you!

I love the lyrics!!!

I was wondering... Would you mind if I take your translation and translate it into Spanish? I'll of course credit properly. ^w^

You're welcome to use them, but I'm still not quite done with it yet. Please give me a few more days to 'tighten' the wording up. XD

matsuyousei January 28 2010, 21:03:42 UTC

Oh, thank you, but I think your translation is great! gambatte!

yuminami January 29 2010, 02:41:14 UTC

Thanks! Okay, I think I've gone about as far as I can go w/o the official lyrics. Go ahead and translate away!

@_@ google can lead you to so many odd places (including my lj, apparently). And thanks!

aaaAAAAAAAah...

XD I listen to Arashi songs all the time, even though I don't know what the lyrics mean.
I am now able to better appreciate Sho's talent. ^___^

I had loved the song as soon as I heard it, and now I've got a good reason to do so. <3

Am I the only one who's noticed how Arashi songs never fail to use the word "namida". It's everywhere. Even in upbeat, happy songs. ¬_¬

they have a ridiculous amount of water imagery in their songs, water in any form, be it tears, rain, storms, you name it. and if it's not that, it's some kind of reference to wind.

sho IS pretty amazing when it comes to his lyrics. they can be remarkably complex and poetic sometimes. between his politician father and his literature professor mother, you can see where his way with words comes from. his lyrics make me laugh though, when he includes all these sexual references. ("from monday to sunday, every every every day" is just the tip of the iceberg. ^^;;;) sho will always be the #1 pervert in arashi to me because of his lyrics.

soothing_sight February 21 2010, 03:57:17 UTC

Ooh, well! Really? #/ pervert? Hahaha... I remember discussing with an Lj friend how Sho completely avoided rating himself on a pervert ranking during the not-so-old Tokudane ranking special.

My feeling is that he avoided to do so not to soil his newscaster image. But then, that's just my take on things.

He did borrow Ohno's borrowed video from Aiba after all. XD
