Marnie is completely and totally in love with this song. I stopped my boycotting of Jpop for a few minutes to listen and romanize these lyrics because the only lyrics online were incomplete and incorrect. Anyway, I haven’t yet fallen in love with this yet, but it’s a nice song. Enjoy! <3.

I think I will stop posting kanji lyrics. Tables are just too mendokusai (Japanese equivalent for “麻烦”; troublesome).

Tohoshinki – Toki wo Tomete

isogu you ni natsu no seiza tachi ga
biru no tanima ni katamuite kakureteku
toorisugiru bokura no mainichi
chippoke na koto de nakisouna toki mo aru

itsuka kimi ga ikita gatte ita
ano mise wa mou nakunatte shimatta kedo
donna hi mo bokutachi wa
“futari no koi wa owaranai” to shinjite ita

toki wo tomete zutto kimi no soba ni itai
miageta sora negai komete
hitotsu hitotsu kagayaku hoshi tsunagenagara
kimi no katachi… sagashiteta

suki da yo tte jouzu ni ienaku tte
nami uchi giwa de furueta osanai koi
tadotado shiku naranda me to me ga
mabataki sae mo oshii to kanjite ita

suna ni kaita chikai wa sugu ni
hiku nami ni sarawarete kiete shimatte mo
ano koro no bokutachi wa
“futari no koi wa kawaranai” to shinjite ita

toki wo tomete zutto kimi no soba ni itai
motto kimi wo dakishimetai
hitotsu hitotsu kimi no koto wo oboenagara
eien dake… shinjiteta

toki wo tomete zutto kimi no soba ni itai
miageta sora negai komete
hitotsu hitotsu kagayaku hoshi tsunagenagara
kimi no katachi… sagashiteta

toki wo tomete zutto kimi no soba ni itai
motto kimi wo dakishimetai
hitotsu hitotsu kimi no koto wo oboenagara
eien dake… shinjiteta

Note: No katakana emphasis this time around, because then the title would end up being “Toki WO ToMETE”, which is awkward. -_-;;

Short blurb cause I’m in a hurry. I liked the melody the first time I heard it. It was simple and sweet, and the lyrics were nice. Later I found out that the composer for this song is the same composer for, among others, EXILE’s Lovers Again, and Tohoshinki’s PROUD and Begin. They’re all very nice songs; Nakamura Jin puts a very mysterious and ethereal feel to his compositions. I wonder if he composes for any movie soundtracks. Anyway, really nice song <3.

Capitals indicate emphasis by katakana.

I knew I was gonna romanize the lyrics of this song after I first heard the CD rip. It was just such a cool and unique song. I love it to bits. Even if Arashi didn’t sing this, I would still be really obsessed with this song, because it’s just awesome. This is the opening song to Ohno’s mini-drama, which, I haven’t seen yet >.>;;.

The rain falls on my windows and a calmness runs through my soul. When the rain falls, oh the rain falls, I don’t to be alone. I wish that I could Photoshop all our bad memories, cause the flashbacks, oh the flashbacks won’t leave me alone…

Only in this moment when my heart remains beside you. Only in this moment will my passions stay alive… Lost in love’s embraces where our memories lie…

The continuous time is only passing, and loneliness is just freedom. The past and future will never disappear. Someday, just like waves of the ocean, all the perplexion about coincidences, the swaying heart, and the gripped hands, will certainly be crushed into nothingness…

And you’re the place my life begins, and you’ll be where it ends, I’m flying without wings. And that’s the joy you bring, I’m flying without wings.

There were days filled with only hesitation, worries and resentment, but you were there for me, and your laughter’s were incredibly warm. We’ve come this far right? With our hands gripped tightly together, even the time that we have spent together…. somehow, suddenly we’re already too embarrassed…

I want to embrace you tightly, warm so you won’t freeze. If you wish strongly and kindly, you can close the distance between your heart and that dream…

Even though I couldn’t even say ‘Good-bye’, I am still going to leave today. I wonder if I might be able to meet someone wonderful again?… Living whimsically and freely, I am a stray cat…

Don’t lose, and don’t cry now. When you feel like you’re disappearing, just follow your own voice. Even though there are nights where the future me will be hurt and can’t fall asleep, I am living in the bittersweet present…

In the overlapped core of our hearts, there exists joy and sadness, warmth and hatred. The days of our chance encounters and shared experiences burns in my heart, strongly and truly…

I wanna know, I wanna know… Baby, what are the things that give you pain?… But I’ll never know, I’ll never know… I can’t ask, so instead, I’ll stay by your side…

And you asked me what I want this year, and I tried to make this kind and clear. Just the chance that maybe we’ll find better days… Cause I don’t need boxes wrapped in string. The desire to love and empty things. Just the chance that maybe we’ll find better days…

This is the ending of Gokusen 3. Can you believe they made three seasons of this show? I think there is a movie coming out that’s out already based on the structure of the story. (I’m so late on the news!) Anyway, I don’t like the voice of the vocalist of Aqua Timez, but he writes beautiful and meaningful lyrics that too irresistible not to blog about (and romanize). Eventually, I will translate this some day for sure <3. Here we go!

• Password hint: My favourite part of a song.

GARNET CROW’s 8th album was release on the 9th of September. Being a huge fan of them I was really excited about this. Hello Sadness is the first track and also my favourite song from the album.

Bolero was a song I first heard at Marina’s house a few weeks ago. Somehow I have a feeling the person who composed this song is also the person who composed Love in the Ice. Meh. Anyway, this is a great song, with great lyrics <3. I love it~

September 15th was Arashi’s 10th anniversary. In August, Arashi released a singles collection, called All the Best! 1999-2009, that chronicled their single releases since their debut in 1999. On the second disk of the collection, there were two songs that were not previously released to the public: the hiddle track Attack It! and the celebratory collaborative 5×10. This is 5×10. Translations might follow, depending on if I’m brave enough… =S.
