anyway, i liked this song because it’s kinda different from all the other misia songs i had. when a song makes me stop what i’m doing and makes me listen closely, it means i’m hooked and if i can’t find a translation for it, most probably i’ll translate it myself ^^; it is also another random song i liked from my little mp3 player which kept me sane tided me over when i broke my ipod and had no money to get a new one. it’s a really easy song to listen to even though it’s another breakup song (hahaha).

i was also inspired to translate this upon hearing from my friend edith that misia’s performing in HK this week (or was it last week? i forget^^;) hopefully she had fun and i also hope misia gained more fans ^^

this song’s really not so popular so i have no video to share with you guys. i’ll put up the mp3 here once rjene helps lil-ol’-techie-inept me ^^;;

 i am currently addicted to the twilight book series by stephenie meyer and bought the entire set as a birthday gift to myself (among other things…im so broke now XD) i won’t spill the story here, but i feel like this song really suits bella and edward’s love story. i wish i had a shiny, shimmery, sparkly boyfriend like edward for my birthday instead of just books tho

oh well, no PV for this one…maybe when the movie’s out i’ll make a fanvid with this song. enjoy the mp3 and (improved) translations instead

nah, i don’t mean that i want to become nakashima mika (although that’s a good thought too, hmmm…) but i wanted to be sunao. sunao means honest, sincere, obedient; meek; docile; unaffected (?!)… i just couldn’t be like that in situations when i should be, thus a lot of what-ifs and what-could-have-beens in my life now. this song just caught my attention on my random playlist (SHAMELESS PLUG: i tell you guys, seeqpod is the best! or at least the playlist i put together there :P)

this song is also part of nakashima mika’s 4th album entitles YES, which was released march 14, 2007 ( i have a thing for white day, yeah i know) and is the theme for NTT docomo’s 2-month campaign “sincerity,” hence i titled the translation as such. although i heard this was her lowest selling single ever, i really like it for its simple, honest lyrics and cool sound. the cover of the single also blows me away…so different from her nana look hehe ^^

i also couldn’t find a PV or the CM so i am going to put up my friend jhona’s version here. she’s the one i mentioned in my previous post…hehe i hope she doesn’t mind me putting her video up here ^^;;

i found a video of the live version from the smile tour and im trying to remember if this clip was from the same night i watched. ahhh~it’s been four years since then, and i’m still not indifferent. i’m not making much sense but nothing ever did when it comes to him.

the expression “okaeri” is used in tandem with “tadaima”, when somebody comes home. tadaima is roughly “im home” and okaeri is “welcome back”…these are two of my favorite japanese words. just hearing them exchanged can evoke warm feelings inside of me. imagine a hottie like moco-moco welcoming you home after a hard day’s work *goes on daydream mode* anyway, even ayaka says this about her song, 「”welcome back.” just that single word and my heart is satisfied, and i can think that i can do my best tomorrow. having said that, to have someone waiting for you, a place to go home to, is a very happy thing.」 

now this translation is realllly a BETA version, as the single is yet to come out on may 14,  there are no kanji lyrics for this one and i had to transcribe it myself ^^;; so pardon the incorrect lyrics and translations, i couldn’t even tell if ayaka was saying “sweet home” or “sweetheart” for the choruses hahaha^^;; i’ll correct this as soon as i find a decent copy of the kanji lyrics, ok? meanwhile here’s the cute ending theme from episode 1 *goes off to order her own risou no kareshi*

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 =_=

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.

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 ^^
