i think my baby has finally given up on me.

after almost four years, my baby aka iPod has finally died on me for the last time. it’s died several times before but i managed to resurrect the poor thing just to abuse it again ^^; it’s pretty old, doesn’t play videos and has no color yet but i still loooove it because it has so many songs i’ve filched out of my friends’ pcs when i was in japan. i guess i have to buy a replacement for it now but some of the songs in there were really irreplaceable T_T

since i’m pretty sad, i decided to translate another sad song from my (now defunct) iPod. i didn’t hear anything from these guys called sasuke after their first album “smile” so i think they might have been just a one-hit wonder.  i remember buying the album for my host brother in hokkaido when it came out since he loved the song at the time and when i went back to tokyo, my host mom said he’s been practicing it on the piano. i really hope i can listen to his version of this song…

wow, i’m getting even more sentimental so i guess i’ll leave you guys with the video and the translation. enjoy while i mourn my baby a little more =_=

first of all…happy white day! this day always brings back special memories of my last day in japan and since i’ve recently spoken to that person after a long time of not talking to each other i just felt like translating a song. i’m just really glad to know he’s happy now and we could still talk the way we did before. i heard this song today and it reminded me of him so i’ll make this my advanced birthday present then =)

my sempai sung this song in karaoke the first time i heard it and i fell in love with it even more after downloading aiko’s entire discography. this is from her 2002 album aki, soba ni iru. yeah i know it’s another heartwrenching breakup song from aiko but her songs aren’t all sad..it’s just the songs i choose to translate hehe ^^;

for the last time, donna uwagi yori mo anata ga, ichiban atatakai yo. ironna imi de daisuki datta.

this post is a tanjoubi present to my ever faithful tasukeaite - RJENE!!! iroiro hontou ni arigatou ne ^__~  she made and hosted this blog so im very very thankful i have space to rant my hitorigoto.  oh, added FYI - this song also inspired the name of this blog.

about the song…it’s included in my thesis playlist meaning i was listening to it while writing my thesis two years some time back. it’s also in one of the mixes of guitar and percussion freaks but i can’t remember which mix it was. all i know is that you have to do the standard instead of beginner level so this song would come up. i kinda miss playing while listening to this song T_T  anyway, i had to do transcription aside from just the translation as there’s NO romaji anywhere for this. i had to use japanese google powers to get the kanji as i was really stuck. hope you enjoy and rjene, let’s go for some okonomiyaki soon, ne ^^
