this song is also dedicated to my twin sister and her husband-to-be cos i’m sure they can’t wait for christmas to come along…after christmas, it’ll be just a month  ’til they tie the knot (on hyde’s birthday, no less)!! omedetou!! \o/ utada hikaru songs have a very significant place in their love story since they started getting close after finding out they both like her music. and six years after…they’re still together and enjoying her music. i hope they play some of her songs during the wedding

that being said, i also wish everyone happiness during this joyous season. oshiawase ni

Can’t Wait ‘Til Christmas
Utada Hikaru

kurisumasu made matasenaide
itazura ni toki ga sugiteyuku, oh~
nandemonai hi mo, soba ni itai no
i’m already, ahh, loving you

nagai fuyu wa nani wo omou
haru ni nareba minna tabi no shitaku
watashi tachi no kisetsu wa mou sugu

kurisumasu made matasenaide
machijuu ga kimi ni koishiteru
kakko tsukenaide yo, watashi no mae de wa
i’m already, ahh, loving you

ahh~

shiroi yuki ga yama wo tsutsumu
wataridoori ga shibashi hane wo tojiru
futari kiri no christmas eve

au tabi ni kyori wa chizimu you de
sukoshi zutsu kokoro surechigau
yakusoku goto yori mo, ima no kimochi wo kikitakute
ahh

kurisumasu made matasenaide
hito wa naze asu wo oikakeru
taisetsu na hito wo, taisetsu ni suru
sore dake de, ahh, iin desu

aaah~
i’m already, ahh loving you

Can’t Wait ‘Til Christmas
Chelli Translation

don’t make me wait until Christmas
jokingly, time passes by, oh~
on days without anything to do, i want to be just beside you
i’m already, ahh, loving you

what do you think about on a long winter
when spring comes, everyone is preparing for a journey
(but)our season is coming very soon

don’t make me wait until Christmas
the whole town is falling in love with you
don’t put up a cool act in front of me
i’m already, ahh, loving you

ahh~

the white snow enfolds the mountain
just like crossing over, we often *flap our wings
two of us alone on christmas eve

everytime we meet, the distance between us shrinks
our hearts pass each other by little by little
more than any promises, i want to hear your feelings right now
ahh
don’t make me wait until christmas
why do people chase after tomorrow
it’s alright to just treasure the most important people
aaah~
i’m already, ahh loving you

*the japanese word here (tojiru) literally means “close” but i thought “flap” was a more fitting word

anyway, i really liked how this song was done in japanese, with some korean mixed into the chorus. i’ve mentioned i studied korean earlier this year and now can’t remember half the stuff i learned, but the lyrics weren’t too hard to translate. i also got help for the romaji from xiaolink’s blog

enjoy the vid and translations while i go get some guguma and kimchi

it’s no big secret that i love sho…ever since i saw him taking care of koharu-chan in one of their (numerous) programs. i never even liked johnny’s, rap, sloping shoulders, and japanese variety shows before but he (and the rest of arashi) has changed my views drastically. i can go on and on but yeah….here’s the translation sorry if the english is weird, i was so distracted by his sexy voice…ok i gotta stop now haha ^^;; douzo!

this will be the 19th single for ikimono gakari and will be out on august 4…thus the lyrics i put up here will be beta-version again til i get hold of the actual lyrics in kanji/kana. i hear fans are super excited since was written by the main vocalist kiyoe…and i do believe there’s a reason to be. the song was so cute and catchy and perfect for summer! perfect for the drama too <3

lyrics and translation after the cut…if you have any corrections, please leave a comment

the song isn’t finished on this video too so i’m not sure if i missed anything at the end ^^;;

EDIT: PV is out so the lyrics and video here have been edited! dancing kiyoe is so cute <3

YOU ARE HERE
Chelli Translation

aah~ the one in my dreams
the one that i love, you are here
gather up those many lights
floating up into that sky
so love will shine

“what happened?” i asked
“i’m alright” you answered
because you said so, then surely it’s ok
i won’t be confused anymore

i noticed a small scratch
but i’ll start running in a while
but for now that will have to do
being a crybaby sometimes

uneasiness is stirring up
to the midsummer night sky
they won’t stop, won’t disappear
tripping, falling apart
being bothered by it
but even so, i’ll just laugh

aah~ the one in my dreams
the one that i love, you are here
i want to be touched by that voice always
i softly, softly fill up my ears

aah~ this is not a dream
i’m counting the heartbeats from my chest
gather up those many lights
floating up into that sky
so love will shine

if you walk facing down
you’ll run into someone’s shoulder
passing each other by
i want to find you among the crowd

in this messy room
there’s a crumpled futon
with this mix of emotion
i made a depressed face
but i’ll show my honest self in a letter

aah~ (trying to) become honest
become beautiful, the me right now
but i believe that you would
take me as i am right now

aah~ the one in my dreams
the one that i love, you are here
i want to be touched by that voice always
i softly, softly fill up my ears

aah~ this is not a dream
i’m counting the heartbeats from my chest
gather up those many lights
floating up into that sky
so love will shine

aah~ the one in my dreams
the one that i love, you are here
looking for this and that, then finally getting there
you will always light up our path ahead

ahh~ this is like a dream
but this is not a dream cos you are here
gather up those many lights
reflected in those eyes
falling deeper into love

anyway, thanks to everyone who still drop by the site, and keep leaving your requests at the request section (redundant much? lol). i’ll try to make time and  translate in the coming days so keep ‘em coming.

ja ne ^_^V

the song makes me remember our house parties in japan when we would stay up all night,  and head to the beach to wait for the sunrise. these lines are my absolute fave:

saikou yo, hajimaru kiseki ga tomaranai yo asa made
kotoshi mo, rainen mo, kyou to onaji you ni iwaeru saa
saikou no oto naru kodou hade ni sawagou asa made
itsumo no nakama shugoeba tsunageru kimochi ga furezu saa 

we sure partied hard that time haha…this goes out to all the great people i met there! miss you so much and hope to be able to visit soon ^^;;

anyway, the single will be out tomorrow, so there are no lyrics around and i tried doing this by ear just like in okaeri. but this song was like one long sakurap and it was kinda hard, so i’m very happy to be able to get some help from sayu-chan’s lyrics here. please don’t expect much from the translation as it was pretty roughly done (during work hours no less, i was addicted to it that bad ). romaji + translation after the cut~ comments are most welcome, and please let me know if you wanna put it up somewhere else ne

Private Laughter
Chelli Translation

charming words easily unfastened
my stubbornly closed eyes
making up is easy as pie
but in between our clasped hands, again there was a wind that passed through

I wish for my lover to make me laugh
Like you used to
Remember?

I miss the laughter
the secret laughter that should have
bonded our hearts and bodies together
now you cannot even give me a smile anymore?

the smokey air that holds up the future
was erased with one blast of a pocket joke
we tickled each other innocently
now i remembering pinching
your sleeping face once more

to see through my silence`
is this a prank Help me out with cake
Que sera sera Laugh and laugh in love
let me forget the sins, the calendar
all the little things

I wish for my lover to Watch me cry
Until I smile again

I miss the
I miss the laughter
the secret laughter that should have
bonded our hearts and bodies together
now you cannot even give me a smile anymore?
I miss the laughter
the secret laughter that should have bonded
the atmosphere that was falling to pieces
now you cannot even give me a smile anymore?

for the japanese, going to the seaside by the two of you is a significant move…it means someone has an important thing to say to you hehehe  i haven’t tried it though with someone special but i nearly had the chance…and lost it. lol i really don’t like beaches near tokyo^^; anyway, this song just reflects the feeling i get when i sit on the beach and watch the sun go down.  i miss sitting by the water and just looking out to the horizon, wondering about different things. sometimes i get depressed once the sun sets because i dunno, it’s just a little sad to see a wonderful day at the beach end.

anyway, here’s a live version of the song by JAM…yuki’s voice is <3!!!

The Two Who Can’t Return
Chelli Translation

Leave behind the two who can’t return…

*Standing still beneath the moon
Was you and a strawberry flower
Inside the mist that won’t clear up yet
The rain drops beautifully

For my February birthday
You gave me an amethyst ring
The two of us were balanced, suiting each other

We always cannot say goodbye
Thinking of an excuse,
And kept gazing at the sea
That leaves behind the inseparable sound of the waves

If your world seems to be falling apart
Just remember my words
An innocent, light blue illusion

* repeat

The clock will soon strike 9 o’clock
Think of an excuse
And stay with me for a little while longer
Leave behind the inseparable sound of the waves…
Leave behind the two who can’t return…

what made me translate this is because this was playing over and over on my iPod while i sat on the beach after an afternoon of surfing. the sound is very soothing and i found myself swaying along ang my thoughts drifting away…hearing this song again made me miss the beach since it’s been almost six months since i surfed. i myself became curious about the lyrics so i looked the japanese lyrics up, did the romaji and translated. i hope i did justice to the imagery of the song in its original language, it’s just too awesome to put it into english ^^;

no pv so i’m embedding an mp3 here from imeem. the japanese lyrics are also here.

CALM WAVE
Chelli Translation

letting the smoke curl up to the sound of calm waves
the afternoon when i left my body up to them
that’s right, it’s been decided

i chased a dragonfly which doesn’t suit a daydream
realizing that it just burst out
even if you’re not even supposed to be here anymore

i wonder where you are and
what you are doing right now
like the way the waves come and go away
my little whims and scars
also go away

now i just nod (bow my head) whenever i look up to the sky
but only the waves know everything
everything about this feeling

the picture on the dry, fragile crumbling wall
tells me that time cannot be stopped from passing
so i will just push on forward

i wonder where you are and
what you are doing right now
the waves come and go away
along with my little whims
tomorrow will surely come for anyone
so let’s just accept that fact
like the way the waves come and go
my little sentiments and truth
also go away

now i just nod (bow my head) whenever i look up to the sky
but only the waves know everything
everything about this feeling

there are more screenies but i’ll save them for later. i’m still not over the fact we’re immortalized in a L’arc DVD. i can die happy now ^^

you might be wondering if there’s a translation for this post at all…and there is. right after the HK part where they showed the fans (including us ^^)  fawning over them, hyde had a little interview that i translated because it showed how humble he really is amidst this fame. it made me want to cry so i’ll share this with all of you.

CHELLI TRANSLATION (please, credit and link back if you’re taking it.)

HYDE: Hmm…I feel sorry that I can’t change for them…I’m really sorry. You can’t really have an experience like this all the time.

There are a lot of parts in the DVD where they all show their playful and fun sides, but this DVD also shows a side of Hyde i have never seen before. He also has less makeup and you can see his wrinkles, which makes him more human and beautiful in my eyes. I really respect him more now after seeing this DVD. i won’t spill anymore because i think everyone reading this should really get their own copy. it’s worth it..and more.
