ok, I said it in the first post, but that's already at the bottom of the blog and nobody is likely to read it so... here I go again: this blog is devoted to lyrics translation - specially arashi's, but as soon as I have time you may see other groups' songs appearing here too. if left to my choice i obviously translate the songs I like or the ones I'm listening to at the moment, but I also accept requests. so if you have a song you want to see translated leave a comment in this post and I'll add it to the list.

as I progress with the translations, the songs in the list will be crossed out instead of deleted so that you can see which ones are done already.

the time it takes to translate lyrics varies depending on the difficulty of the song but mostly on my availability! since I have a life and classes to go to I normally try to catch up with the translations during my freetime. please be patient if two or three days pass since you make your request, it may be that I had a specially busy week ^_^

oh! if you want to friend me you are welcome to it, you don't have to ask. but if you have a blog - no matter if it's arashi related or not - please leave a comment telling me about it so I can pay you a visit. :)

それ以上!

I continue with my flumpool-mania, sorry guys - if I could translate korean I'd probably be doing DBSK songs too :p
I had already begun with this one when [info]mamoruchan "suggested" that I did it next - another prove that our brains are still receiving signal despite the distance -_-'

ps - anyone else here thinking the singer could as well appear in the PV in the same fashion as above? just a random thought...

とにかく、どうぞ楽しんできて!

[angela aki] sings at the 75th edition of the NHK national school music contest (I have no idea what it is, but that was what was written in the vid's info) one of her most popular songs, entitled "letter, to my dear 15-year-old self". [info]mamoruchan was curious about the kids of the audience crying and wanted to know the exact meaning of the song, so here it is. thank you, 姉ちゃん for discovering this performance, it's one of the best I've seen so far ^^.

I hope you enjoy it!

I don't know why I chose this song after [hana ni nare]. maybe because I find it difficult to decide which of their songs I like better... m(o)m
I should have been writing a composition for japanese class, but I guess this counts as "studying" also, right?

on another note, I'm starting to get worried - it seems I could go on sleeping indefinitely, I'm always tired TT_TT. today I got home after uni and even though I was starving I dropped dead on my bed and fell asleep. O.o this may be a problem in the short term...

anyway, 楽しんでください!

hi minna! I'm back from a long, long hiatus. the thing is I came back after christmas holidays, with my little mac miraculously repaired in time, and soon after it was stolen. Y_Y which was a big shock. for some time I just wasn't in the mood for translating or even connecting to the internet - apart from the fact that I cannot write in japanese with my pc laptop. I was able to get hold of another mac, but I was in the midlde of my exams and didn't have much time for anything else. now I'm back with the debut single of [flumpool], a group [info]mamoruchan introduced to me. I love all their songs equally, but this one was the first I ever listened to, through skype while talking to my neechan - it sort of has a special meaning ^^.

enjoy! 楽しんでね!

I want to cry.
yesterday my mac had an aneurysm - or so I think because she died suddenly and painlessly (yes, it's a "she" and her name is [tamiko], just as my car is a "he" and is called [kohaku]). it's a very sad loss, much more so since she was young and in good health (barely 9 months old, loved and cared for by her owner).
yesterday morning she had been singing beautifully when I put her to sleep for a while. in the evening I tried waking her up, but onto no avail. she made an attempt to open her eyes once or twice and then closed them forever... TAT
my little baby is gone and she took with her all my arashi pictures, my translations my writings...
so I will be going into hiatus for a while. when I get back to spain I'll send her to the mac store and see what they tell me after the autopsy. I hope I won't have to get her replaced - having back anything but tamiko will pain me, she was already personalised and had her own character.
until then I guess I'll focus on my japanese classes, study a lot of kanji and start katayama kyouichi's novel [sekai no chuushin de ai wo sakebu] ]- something good had to come out of this after all.
I'll miss everyone in LJ so much!!!!! TAT

in a week from here I'll go back home!!!! 待っててねえちゃん、明子ちゃん、もう直ぐ帰るだろう!
even if I've finally found my place here in rome I can't help being excited about returning :9 I left so many things - and people - behind... ahh... but one of my friends is not coming back from chicago for christmas TT_TT and I haven't seen him since I left for tokyo this summer. that's the only sad thing this christmas V_V, that I won't be seeing him.

what I miss from home... )

now that I've cried a bit I can continue (some other day I'll talk about the things I'll miss from rome - I swear there are some!). today's song is also from the [time] album, but unlike [太陽の世界] this one has no footnotes!! >_< yay! though I guess I compensated for that with my whining... T_T

とにかく、どうぞ!

this song goes specially for sabi - who is my personal "sun" here in rome ^_^ - and told me she had always wondered what they said and never really got down to translate it. well, it's a good thing we're studying keigo, sabi, cause it came up quite a few times! inagaki-sensei's classes are finally proving useful ^_^

after this unjustified rant, here's the song:

finally finished wrestling with the f***ing css >_<
it has taken me long, but considering that:
1. it' not mine originally, and
2. (this should have been no.1 though) I have not the slightest idea of how to make them
I think the result is fairly satisfactory.

ah.... *long sight*

now I can go back to translating!
next song will be [太陽の世界]!お楽しみにしてください!

before I begin, note that this post is about a group called "triple A" - aka [AAA] - and is not related to Arashi Around Asia in any way. now you can close this tab and continue your search :)

[AAA] is a seven member boys-and-girls band that debuted in 2005 under avex trax label. so far they have released 4 albums and mini-albums. and 19 singles, one of which made the #1 position in the [oricon top 200 weekly list] - others ranging between posts #20 and #4. their style is said to be "pop/eurobit", but with these japanese groups you never know ¬_¬' , plus I no longer care to aply labels when faced to chose between zillions of sub-sub-genres...
all in all, this song belongs to the mini-album [the choise is yours] - which also included "Akireru Kurai Wagamama na Jiyuu", "BET", "crash", "crying freeman" and "ZAPPER". enjoy the song - as always, if you want it you just have to ask! :)

man I'm sooooo screwed! I've been reading [the hooker fic]. and it got me addicted to fanfiction again!!!! T_T as if it wasn't enough to flail for the real stuff I now drool over fiction... ahhh... if there's a god of fandom he is a twisted, mean brat and he hates me - wait, twisted, mean brat? doesn't that sound too much like nino? O_o anyway, why doesn't the fandom god understand that my time is limited and I cannot keep loosing it like this!!! why did he have to throw temptation in front of me once again???!!! >_<
I hadn't read fics since the [draco trilogy] and [the secred diaries] ended... and I wasn't planing on starting again! because 1) reading for hours in front of the computer screen is bad for my already bad eyesight; 2) it absorbes me more than I'd like to admit, distracting me from everything else (including meals); 3) my friends are already worried about my mental health as it is without the need to add "yaoi lover" to make it worse.
life is hard... 人生は厳しいね?

good thing we still have memes! :)

1. Open your music library.
2. Put it on shuffle
3. Press play
4. For every question, type the song that's playing
5. When you go to a new question, press the next button
6. Don't lie and try to pretend you’re cool...just type it in, man!

OMG CoG ARC contest is open!!!!  )

on the other hand... can I whine a little bit? please?! [COOL&SOUL] is just one of those translations that leave you with an uneasy feeling of "ok, I did my best and still, this f***ing sucks!" T_T it can be because it's mostly rapping and they purposefully make even less sense when they do so. yet I'm always disatisfied with these songs... however, I'm posting for lack of any other translation at hand.

enjoy? ._.

I have gone missing for a couple of days and when I get back to lj it's like tons of things have happened in my absence!!! even my gmail inbox had 43 unread messages... T_T
I feel guilty for neglecting everything... ) on another note. I was tagged by [info]mamoruchan to do this little thing. I feel bad that I didn't even check her lj these past days when she's been mailing me new pics to use for songs and writes to me at least twice a day - though I didn't know that until I opened the mailbox after two days and encountered the 43 unread messages... ゴメンね、ねえちゃん. I still have to ask her about the lj layout - I've never felt comfortable with this one, but din't really have the time to give it much thought.

Dear Santa...

Dear Santa,

This year I've been busy!

In March I donated bone marrow to [info]kwan012 in a life-saving procedure (300 points). In June I helped [info]thefrug hide a body (-173 points). In January I bought porn for [info]chiarachan (-10 points). In September I bought porn for [info]shongkinamez (10 points). In April I set [info]whirlworld's puppy on fire (-66 points).

Overall, I've been nice (61 points). For Christmas I deserve a wedgie!

Sincerely,
nanachan707

Write your letter to Santa! Enter your LJ username:

feel free to do it if you like ^_^

stole this meme from [info]eggchan when I saw she "tagged" whoever wanted to do it ^_^
I wonder who came up with it in the first place - the idea of using the urban dictionary was offscale.
[info]mamoruchan is also doing it - can't wait to see your results, nee-chan!!

rules:

1. go to Urbandictionary.com
2. type in your answer and get the 1st meaning that comes up.

I also invite anyone who wants to crack a good laugh to do this meme :)

ah... I'm drinking too much coffee lately... I fear I'll develop a dangerous dependence on caffeine...
at some point I considered naming this blog "coffee and cigarettes", but thought it might be taken already, as it's not very original.
in the end I decided on a reference to my favorite writer.

but this was not what I wanted to post about!

I meant to translate AAA's [hasta la vista] next, but I was waiting for [info]mamoruchan to pass me the song - I like to play the songs while I translate to get the feeling and make sure that I'm writing about what they're actually saying. so in the meantime I did one of the songs I had added to the list: agela aki's [funeral of morals]. I came across it by chance in facebook - my japanese host-family okaasan had added it to her iLike list and I felt curious. now I remember having seen her last LP circulating in the livingroom and thinking she looked totally western. she is actually ha-fu (haslf, as japanese say), born in japan and brought up in hawai - no wonder her english is so good.

not all her songs sound like this one, in fact they are mostly love songs - which I'm not a great fan of -, but her bear voice and skill as a pianist more than compensate for me. :)

took this from [info]yay_box because I felt like doing some meme after so much time.

the rules are as follow:

1. Answer each of the questions below the cut using the Flickr search engine.
2. Choose a photo from the first three pages.
3. Copy the URL of your favourite photos here.
4. Then share with the world.

I'm very diligent today, as you can see - this is the third song I post in a row and not for lack of things to do! [info]mamoruchan had asked for it a while ago and I think the last time we talked over skype she let it drop that she'd like to see it translated next (what a bad imooto I am). 

[touch the breath] - for the few who don't know - is a duet by jun-kun and oh-chan during 2002 [all or nothing] concert. the song can only be found as a rip from the concert - I got it from [info]mamoruchan who probably downloaded it a long time ago form arashianfiles (back when the site wasn't down). if you don't have it yet just ask for it and I'll provide an MF link :)




*now that I think about it, I downloaded the concert some days ago; maybe I could ask the uploader pernission to use her files as a base to rip this perf - going off to sheck form whom I downloaded*
