風に吹かれて 波に揺られて
明日も また、ここで歌っていこう
雨上がりに 見えた虹のように
歩いた日々 すべてにありがとう
東京にも慣れ余計な力も抜け ようやく発車
見つめあえた音楽
10年前にはこんな俺がTVから歌ってる
誰が信じただろう?
人生にいない代打 だが、磨けば光るダイヤに
変わっていける 何度も身を削られて
自分の代わりはいないが
それでも、ひとりじゃなかったんだ
血は違ってもBrother その手はあたたかい
風に吹かれて 波に揺られて
明日も また、ここで歌っていこう
雨上がりに 見えた虹のように
歩いた日々 すべてにありがとう
簡単に上手くいかない事だらけ
投げ出したくなる日もあるけど
まるで、愚痴にしかならない話でも
聞いてくれると 明日に向かえた
いっぱい溢れるLiar
でも、その中に たまにいるんだ
信じられる人や 守るべきモノ
お前の代わりはいないんだ
だから、そんなにクヨクヨすんな
いつだってBrother 俺は救われてる
風に吹かれて 波に揺られて
明日も また、ここで歌っていこう
雨上がりに 見えた虹のように
歩いた日々 すべてにありがとう
歳を重ねて シワが増えても
今日、この日を幸せに想うよう
必死になって 追い続ければ
どんな困難な未来も 俺らなら行けるさ
風に吹かれて 波に揺られて
明日も また、ここで歌っていこう
雨上がりに 見えた虹のように
歩いた日々 すべてにありがとう
TRANSLATION by snylo
*getting blown by the wind, swayed by the wave
let's sing here again tomorrow as well
just like how i appreciate the emerging rainbow after the rain
i gotta thank you for all these days we've had
at last i'm getting used to tokyo i could finally ease up, now i'm off
working with the music i love
10 years ago, just who would've believed
that someone like me can ever sing in the TV?
there's no substitute to lead your life, but you can even change
into a sparkling diamonds the more you get polished
that's why i'm toiled as no one else could do it in my place
nevertheless, i was never alone in my strive
though we're unrelated by blood, oh my brother, that hand is so warm
*
only rarely things would go in my favor
and so often i thought of giving it all up
though they all sounded no more than just complaints
but you were there to listen, it gave me strength to face tomorrow
the world is full of liars
but amidst it do exist
people i could trust and things so precious
do know that no one can ever replace you
so stop being bothered so much
just see how much i'm saved by you, brother!
*
even after we grow old and get wrinkles
just remember the happy days we're having now
keep struggling, and never surrender
no matter how difficult the future is, we can make it
*

ok, that's not the point, it just coincidentally the scene i'm watching when i first started writing this post. so, what touched me is another scene, where the man (yeah, mukai osamu the protagonist here) asked the woman(the role is played by kanjya shihori-one of my fav actress)'s dad for her hand in marriage. the woman is deaf. and this father who actually met the man for the first time, asked this question
"if it's fated that the child that will be born is handicapped too, what will you do"
it was a solemn silence at first, but he answers
"i'll live long. i'll be worried and worried, i just cannot die and i'll look after the child"
(i was so moved at this~)
well, you can imagine the father's response. the man got the father's agreement :)

I can't help but to think about dna when i hear the word helix. Helical stairs or spiral stairs, whatever you may call it, sak-kan must've been thinking it a lot when coming up with the song "Endless Roll". Since the first time i listened to this song, the melody hooked on me, nearly the same level as "Solanin" by Ajikan, the type of song i can listen on repeat for long period as they have this kind of soothing effect. Even the lyrics play a part, it clicks with me somehow, i bet it does with a lot of people, everyone must have this feeling stuck in a maze and you're tired but you can't escape, something like that. Sak-kan, you're my most favourite in nico based on look, but this song really enters my favourite as well, thank you. So, now i'm really eager to listen it performed next week! Yeah, finally after half a year since i first spellbounded by their astounding performance, i can physically treat my ears and eyes again with their awesomeness!
So, here's crappy work on 'Endless Roll'. Honestly i wish i could dive deeper and present it in more beautiful phrases that perfectly carry their intended meaning. Sorry i could only bring out such half-baked translations, just bear with it, i'm now in an effort not to lose my english more than it has been so far.

I change the wallpaper for my phone very seldom, maybe only once so far after i first purchased the phone after coming here, but now i just felt of changing it into this!

It's not only recently that i'm feeling down about school, but it aggravates even more lately with a lot of works couldn't be done properly and i've felt my attention has turned to zero towards anything regarding school. And being so insecure about future is haunting as i know with my deteriorating condition, only doom awaits.
Okay, the more i write the more pathetic i feel. So, today is monday the first day of the week where i already heaved a very big sigh, but it's dec 19th - spyair's live at shibuya o-east!
I went there with my very close friend here, Somehow both of us were not exactly at the best emotionally due to our perspective circumstances, we departed together from my apartment, rode the bus and the train heading to shibuya, it was kinda weird air around us as we were both very excited for the show, but our worries still fleet in our minds. Arrived at shibuya a couple hours b4 the show, so i stopped by tsutaya to take my reservation of nico's humania (yeah, i know it's like 2weeks later from the release date but today's the only day i could come to shibuya). Going to the counter to take it, took the lottery for the surprise gift, as i know i usually have no luck with these kind of things, i thought of nothing, then the receptionist opened the sticker and show it to me.
"トートバッグ"
Eh? Oh, i just got a tote bag. Wow, that really took me in surprise! Like, seriously?? Hoho, something good indeed sometimes happens when you least expect it.
So, still having time at hand, we had dinner together, just deciding the place was a task coz i was really not in the mood so my stomach also acts the same way. We randomly went inside Gusto (the things i can eat are limited after all), and will figure out the venue later. Luckily, as random we went, the venue was very close from there. Another thing went good :) and then, the real stuff began!
Oh gosh, the performance was fabulous!!!! Ike's vocal is utterly fantastic. This time i got quite a nice spot to view them from, next to a kinda pillar so i can lean on it, and just a step higher than the main ground, well i could be spared from the pushing crowd and no heads block my view! That's just awesome, albeit not exactly very close to the stage, but good view can never be compromised.
They kicked off with upbeat songs, i'm not exactly good at remembering setlist, but yeah, they did rockin' the world, last moment, kanjou dischord(my fav!), japanication. Okay i might be mixed up with the the order. Well, then it moves to slower ones - my favs. 'beautiful' simply took my breath away. The song is just beautiful, ike's vocal just gives it its own life. Then they did a new song 'my world' which is a song (ed or op) for the upcoming gundam anime i suppose. Usually i'll move along to the rhythm but this song caught my full attention i didn't move a muscle, i turned my ears to the sound and eyes to ike's mouth to carefully capture the wordings, and tears brimmed my eyes and a few drops rolled down. The song was really touching. oh, i shouldn't have forgotten 'i miss you', i really love this song, it's so precious. somehow i wanna say i miss my self that i've lost.
And they didn't stop making me touched again, then ike and yuuji appear to present 'liar' acoustic version. The clearness of ike's voice, the emotion he puts into the song itself was superbly wonderful. 'Stay together' make me warped in a very gentle feeling, and once they regained the momentum, they rebounce with upbeat songs again. From the beginning, there's a group of girls in front of me, i was at the bar, so we were separated but they were really hyped up during these songs, they got really aggressive it freaked me out a bit. I know it's normal at these situation but it is kinda pity to a couple near them when each time the man had to would protect the girl when the group move too wild.
As for the encore, which later i discovered at mixi, the audience sang few phrases from 'my friend' to call them back onstage! And luckily they did that song too, that is after performing a whole new song titled 'moving on' -another touching song. If my memory is not wrong, they did beautiful days before encore, as always that blowed my mind too. As a final touch, it was 'singing', where everyone sang along as one. I'm sure what they viewed from the stage must be super magnificent.
Overall, it's a splendid show! Now i'll take advantage of good mood i'm in now, being excited by wearing the spyair tshirt i just got and do my loathed school stuff to get them done without me having to feel very miserable.

SINGING
I did this last night when i was supposed to already be asleep. Instead of just closing my eyes while being enveloped in the warmth of the futon, my fingers keeps playing with the phone and this is the result. Another love song by flumpool.
Will edit this later with romaji and even some translation doesn't quite make sense, ryuuta never fail to be so complex in his words (okay maybe he quite loose when writing 'two of us'). But i still decide to post this now because i'm playing with the phone in the middle of class where i want to avoid getting sleepy. edited with usual format of lyrics put up in my journal. as always, the translation is done with my not-so-expert japanese ability +my deteriorating english- i know i tend to make long sentences, sorry. as long as the joy can be shared, it's alright i guess ^-^
Present
KANJI
君に今贈りたい 惜しみなく届けたい
五線譜に乗せるよ 僕らが過ごしたdays
あやふやで頼りない約束を今日まで
待ち続けてくれた君にありがとう
何度となくすれ違い 時には鬩(せめ)ぎ合い
そのたび優しさを重ねた
たったひとりの君 もっと愛したい意味
ずっとそれだけを抱いて生きるよ
決して変わらないもの そっと変えてゆくこと
その眼差しだけが 教えてくれるね
言葉など無力で 諦めの意味じゃなく
声のない気持ちを交信し合えたら...
まだ知らない君さえ 無防備に信じてる
刻んだ足跡が物語っているよ
人生は単調じゃない 大それた変調もない
僕らしか知らない道を歩こう
たったひとつの場所 やっと出会えた感情
いつもそばにある 唯一のhome sweet home
決して枯らさないよ ずっと見届けるよ
皺くちゃになってもその手 握ってたい
日常に目を凝らせば
見落としてた幸せが溢れ
夕映えの坂 手を振る影
もう離さないと誓った 永遠に...
たったひとりの君 もっと愛したい意味
ずっとそれだけを抱いて生きるよ
いつか約束した ずっと笑顔でいること
その眼差しだけに 伝えてゆくよ
皺くちゃになってもその手 握ってたい

TRANSLATIONS by snylo
There's something i gotta tell you right now, right here
For what i could is arrange it into melody, containing all the days we've had by far
This is a token of thanks to you who keeps being there
Even after all the dubious promises i made till now
So often we crossed each other's paths and at times we didn't see eye to eye
Each time that happens, the feeling of kindness grows stronger
I'll be living holding on with only one thing
That is all for the purpose of loving you even more, the only one i have
That something that definitely remains unchanged, gently gets improved over time
I could realize it as your eyes tell me all
Words are powerless but that's no reason to give up
If only we could exchange these voiceless feelings...
Even you who got no clue would naively believe in it
Each foot-mark we left is telling a tale by itself
Life never remains the same, nor it runs on profuse outrageous changes
As for us, we should just walk on the path only we know
At this only one place, finally i discover this feeling of affection
My only home sweet home that is forever by my side
I'll see through it, i'll make it flourish
No matter how wrinklish they get, i want to keep holding your hands
Looking closely at our everyday life
There're numerous blessings we kept overlooked
The hillview during sunset, the sillhouette of the shaking hands
An oath is made, to stick together forever after
I'll be living holding on with only one thing
That is all for the purpose of loving you even more, the only one i have
Someday we made a promise, to keep these smiles last forever
I'll convey all my feelings, only to that eyes of yours
No matter how wrinklish they get, yours are the hands i want to forever keep in mine
- Music:Present - Flumpool
by the way, i was thinking whether to make a post on flumpool's arena show last weekend or not, but my laziness towards everything that requires me to work is just overwhelming. but let me just say, IT WAS FABULOUS!!!!! the members were shining, the choice of songs were fantastic, the whole setting is beautiful. i really enjoyed those two days i went~~
which then will lead me to the last 2 shows of this year which will be held next week. it'll be spyair and weaver. actually i already went to weaver's show in kanagawa last month but this time, it's the one in shibuya, the last stop of their tour? as for spyair, i'm really looking forward to them, i'm going there with my very close friend here, so it'll be very exciting! we'll just try enjoying ourselves without getting annoyed with the crowd which i know will get very heated up. because they are spyair after all. it's all standing so i just hope this time around, i won't be behind a long-hair girl coz it's not really a nice to have long hair brushed on your face while everyone's jumping.
i know i should update more, but anyone please pour me with motivation and courage. this is exactly how my attitude with school as well to the point i seem no longer to care, yes i know when it becomes something like that, it's a worrying thing.

I just have to write this down because i'm so damn happy right now. It's nothing much but it really means a lot to me when today at a some kind of party in the campus, i actually met someone who likes what i like!! I'm talking about my fandom here. I'm still smiling whenever i remember our conversation.
Well, for me,i'm getting used to meet new people and none of them would have a clue as to who i'm interested in. So when i casually talked to this one person in the party amongst all of the crowd, i didn't expect he would response the way he did!
Firstly i mentioned i like flumpool and he said he knew it (in my heart, i'm glad flumpool is getting famous to be that known), then he added that he likes to listen to flumpool as well (here, just hearing that got me excited a bit). Then i said to him how i enjoy being in japan as i could attend the concert and all. So he asked me what concert that i've gone, then when nico touches the walls enters the topic, here's where everything got heated up. Oh god, he was exactly at the same show that i attended last june!! And we were both similarly touched by the splendid performance. My heart was dancing so much at this!!! Yatta yatta~~~ finally there's actually someone in my surrounding who loves these amazing boys too!!
But then, the meeting was cut short and we couldn't spazz much. Still, the short few minutes were pure happiness to me~~ if i could i really want to have this kind of conversations again(^ ^)
Oh yea, i got his contact from someone else but i don't know what to do with it. To be honest, i'm not actually that sociable especially when it's not face to face.
Was so damn sad when i told him i might have extra tix for weaver's show in december but he couldn't go even though he really wants to because of his parttime job. Ahh, now i really regrets for already giving the extra ticket for next week's show to someone else. If only i knew i'll meet him today, i'll keep the tix for him! (but of coz that's impossible as today was my first time meeting him)
But still, i know i'm not alone(^O^☆♪
