A.Q.U.A

Now these are the kinds of Mei Ayakura vocals I like.
Two small stanzas simply aren’t enough to capture her lovely voice. To be fair, I have to give Linjin credit for the cool repetition thing going on too.

一面に広がる青い海の景色の風
(色とりどりの世界に踊る 水しぶきのハレーション)
君の旅路に 寄り添う光のパレットの上
(色とりどりの世界に踊る 心は止められないよ)

ichimen ni hirogaru aoi umi no keshiki no kaze
(irotoridori no sekai ni odoru mizushibuki no hareeshon)
kimi no tabiji ni yori sou hikari no paretto no ue
(irotoridori no sekai ni odoru kokoro wa tomerarenai yo)

The wind of the blue sea’s scenery streching across the surface
(Dancing in a multicoloured world, halation from spray)
On top of a pallet of light there for your journey
(Dancing in a multicoloured world, my heart can’t be stopped)

君の歌に 心はずむ
想い出には まだしたくないから
青い海に 沈む夕日
僕らの旅 始まったばかり?

kimi no uta ni kokoro hazumu
omoide ni wa mada shitakunai kara
aoi umi ni shizumu yuuhi
bokura no tabi hajimatta bakari?

My heart bounces along to your song
I don’t want to make this into a memory yet after all
The evening sun setting into the blue sea
Has our journey only just begun?

白い砂浜 駆け抜ける 君の影 蜃気楼
跳ねる海に 踊る 波の色 焼き付けて
何もかも幻だと 笑うけれど
構わない 短い時間と 知っていても

shiroi sunahama kake nukeru kimi no kage shinkirou
haneru umi ni odoru nami no iro yaki tsukete
nani mo kamo maboroshi da to warau keredo
kamawanai mijikai jikan to shitteitemo

Your shadow runs through the white sandy beach, a mirage
Dancing to the bouncing sea, the colour of the waves makes an impression
I laugh at the fact that it’s all an illusion
but I don’t care, even though I know we don’t have long

一面に広がる青い空に光る太陽
(色とりどりの世界に踊る 水しぶきのハレーション)
僕の旅路は 寄り道だらけの長い旅路
(色とりどりの世界に踊る 心は止められないよ)

ichimen ni hirogaru aoi sora ni hikaru taiyou
(irotoridori no sekai ni odoru mizushibuki no hareeshon)
boku no tabiji wa yorimichi darake no nagai tabiji
(irotoridori no sekai ni odoru kokoro wa tomerarenai yo)

The sun sparkling in the blue sky stretching across the surface
(Dancing in a multicoloured world, halation from spray)
My trip is a long trip filled with stops on the way
(Dancing in a multicoloured world, my heart can’t be stopped)

聴こえていた 現実の声
思い出して どこへ行けるのだろう
青い海に 昇る朝日
僕らの旅 傷ついてばかり?

kikoeteita genjitsu no koe
omoi dashite doko e yukeru no darou
aoi umi ni noboru asahi
bokura no tabi kizutuite bakari?

I was able to hear a real voice
Recalling it, I wonder where we can go
The morning sun rising on the blue sea
Will our journey only result in pain?

焼ける太陽 追いかけた あの日見た 蜃気楼
揺れる海に 光る 波の音に寄り添って
君さえも幻だと 知っていたけれど
構わない 儚い時間と 知っていても

yakeru taiyou oi kaketa ano hi mita shinkirou
yureru umi ni hikaru nami no oto ni yori sotte
kimi sae mo maboroshi da to shitteita keredo
kamawanai hakanai jikan to shitteitemo

The mirage I saw that day chased the burning sun
growing close to the sound of waves shining in the swaying sea
I had known that even you were an illusion
but I don’t care, even though I know time is fleeting

僕の旅路を 現実へと引き戻して行く
(色とりどりの世界は語る 心は止められないよ)

boku no tabiji o genjitsu e to hiki modoshite yuku
(irotoridori no sekai wa kataru kokoro wa tomerarenai yo)

I’m going to pull my trip back towards reality
(The multicoloured world speaks, my heart can’t be stopped)

白い砂浜 駆け抜ける 君の影 蜃気楼
跳ねる海に 踊る 波の色 焼き付けて
何もかも幻だと 笑うけれど
構わない 短い時間と 知っていても

shiroi sunahama kake nukeru kimi no kage shinkirou
haneru umi ni odoru nami no iro yaki tsukete
nani mo kamo maboroshi da to warau keredo
kamawanai mijikai jikan to shitteitemo

Your shadow runs through the white sandy beach, a mirage
Dancing to the bouncing sea, the colour of the waves makes an impression
I laugh at the fact that it’s all an illusion
but I don’t care, even though I know we don’t have long

Having a typing speed of around 100 words per minute can come in handy sometimes.

I just wanna change myself and be ok-yeah
I was not just feeling myself in those days
everyday we’re losing voice and color of the sky
we are living in “the 21st century” world

life is a funny thing, life is but a span
All life is a game of luck? is it true?
every morning we can see the brand-new sunshine
we are singing in “the 21st century” world

we are living in the same world of feeling
it’s like a 21st century’s new love
so you don’t have to wait for the sky to clear up
boys & girls, it’s alright don’t give up and try!

we are singing that same song of the day
it’s like a 21st century’s daydream
if we want, we could be the one forever and ever
boys & girls, we can change so let’s stand up now!

I just wanna break myself and be ok-yeah
I was not just finding myself in that night
everyday we’re looking for the color of the lie
we are praying in “the 21st century” world

life is a funny thing, life is but a span
All life is a game of luck? is it true?
every night we can see the shooting star
we are dancing in “the 21st century” world

we are loving in the same word of healing
it’s like a 21st century’s true love
so you don’t have to find a piece of yourself
boys & girls, forever we can see the same stars!

we are dancing to the same song in the moonlight
it’s like a 21st century’s miracle
if we want, we could dance, dance forever and ever
boys & girls, raise your hands until we die clap! clap!

we are living in the same world of feeling
it’s like a 21st century’s new love
so you don’t have to wait for the sky to clear up
boys & girls, it’s alright don’t give up and try!

we are singing that same song of the day
it’s like a 21st century’s daydream
if we want, we could be the one forever and ever
boys & girls, we can change so let’s stand up now!

小さく枯れた 砂上の花のように
小さく笑って 消えてしまえたら
寂しさ 隠して 数えた 星の数
伸ばした指先 ただ 震えている

chiisaku kareta sajou no hana no you ni
chiisaku waratte kiete shimaetara
samishisa kakushite kazoeta hoshi no kazu
nobashita yubisaki tada furueteiru

Like a small withered flower atop sand
if I could just give a small smile and completely disappear
I would have hid my loneliness and counted the stars
but my extended fingers are merely trembling

輝く数多の星 僕を照らすけど
僕の瞳に 映る星はひとつだけ

kagayaku amata no hoshi boku o terasu kedo
boku no hitomi ni utsuru hoshi wa hitotsu dake

Though tons of sparkling stars shine upon me
in my eyes, there’s only one star I see

笑いあって 信じあって 時に泣いたりした
想い出は 粉々に 砕け散ってゆくのに
触れたら もう崩れてしまうこと わかっていた
それでも たった一人 君に 君に触れてほしい

warai atte shinji atte toki ni naitari shita
omoide wa konagona ni kudake chitte yuku noni
furetara mou kuzurete shimau koto wakatteita
sore demo tatta hitori kimi ni kimi ni furete hoshii

We laughed together, had faith in each other, sometimes cried together and more
though our memories will be crushed into little bits
I understood that it’d all come crumbling down with just a touch
but even so, all alone, I want, I want to feel your touch

小さく揺れた 沈黙の夢のように
儚い歌だと 笑ってくれたなら
哀しさ 許して 見上げた 星の数
視えない旅路に ただ 震えている

chiisaku yureta shijima no yume no you ni
hakanai uta da to waratte kureta nara
kanashisa yurushite mi ageta hoshi no kazu
mienai tabiji ni tada furueteiru

If you gave me a smile because it’s a brief song
like a silent dream that had a small shake
I would have allowed the grief and looked up at the number of stars
but I’m merely trembling on a journey I can not see

小さな星で 遠く 君を照らすけど
君の瞳に 映る星はひとつだけ

chiisa na hoshi de tooku kimi o terasu kedo
kimi no hitomi ni utsuru hoshi wa hitotsu dake

Although I shine on you from afar on a small planet,
in your eyes, there’s only one star you see

寂しくて 哀しくて どこにも行けなかった
思い出は 灰になって 色あせてしまうのに
触れたら もう壊れてしまうこと わかっていた
それなら たった一人 君に 君に触れてほしい

samishikute kanashikute doko ni mo ikenakatta
omoide wa hai ni natte iro asete shimau noni
furetara mou jkowarete shimau koto wakatteita
sore nara tatta hitori kimi ni kimi ni furete hoshii

Being lonely and feeling sad, I couldn’t go anywhere
despite my memories turning to ash and losing their colour
I understood that it’d all fall apart with just a touch
If that’s the case, all alone, I want, I want to feel your touch

奪いあって 傷つけあって どこへ行けるのだろう
月も星も見えない静かなこんな夜は
笑いあった 信じあった 時に泣いたりした
優しい思い出が たった一つの星になる

ubai atte kizutsuke atte doko e yukeru no darou
tsuki mo hoshi mo mienai shizuka na konna yoru wa
warai atta shinji atta toki ni naitari shita
yasashii omoide ga tatta hitotsu ni naru

Stealing from each other, hurting each other, just where can we go?
On quiet nights like these when the moon and stars are hidden
We laughed together, had faith in each other, sometimes cried together and more
These tender memories will become just a single star

笑いあって 信じあって 時に泣いたりした
想い出は 粉々に 砕け散ってゆくのに
触れたら もう崩れてしまうこと わかっていた
それでも たった一人 君に 君に触れてほしい

warai atte shinji atte toki ni naitari shita
omoide wa konagona ni kudake chitte yuku noni
furetara mou kuzurete shimau koto wakatteita
sore demo tatta hitori kimi ni kimi ni furete hoshii

We laughed together, had faith in each other, sometimes cried together and more
though our memories will be crushed into little bits
I understood that it’d all come crumbling down with just a touch
but even so, all alone, I want, I want to feel your touch

One Heart One Flower

My 300th post on this site, nice.
This song was somehow a big pain to put into English though. I needed to have my unofficial editor come in and help make tons of changes before it started to sound alright.

ONE STEP 踏み出す 心 揺れる 光
TWO STEPS 広がる 新しい 光
甘い香り 閉じ込めたままで
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE STEP fumi dasu kokoro yureru hikari
TWO STEPS hirogaru atarashii hikari
amai kaori toji kometa mama de
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE STEP my heart takes and light flickers
TWO STEPS and the new light spreads
with a sweet scent contained within
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

声を忘れた 花の色は
優しい思い出に触れて
また何度でも輝き出す(美しく)鮮やかに

koe o wasureta hana no iro wa
yasashii omoide ni furete
mata nando demo kagayaki dasu (utsukushiku) azayaka ni

The colour of the flower who forgot its voice
touches upon fond memories
then shines again infinitely (beautifully) vibrantly

温かい日差しの中 歩き出して出会う心
ひとつふたつ 数えては 新しい花 ひとつ咲いた

atatakai hizashi no naka aruki dashite de au kokoro
hitotsu futatsu kazoete wa atarashii hana hitotsu saita

In the warm sunshine, I walk forth meeting hearts
Upon counting one or two, a single new flower has bloomed

ONE HEART 孤独と向き合う痛み
TO HEART 繰り返す出会いと別れ
甘い香り 焼き付いたままで
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE HEART kodoku to muki au itami
TO HEART kuri kaesu deai to wakare
amai kaori yaki tsuita mama de
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE HEART, the pain of facing isolation
TO HEART, repeating meetings and partings
with a sweet scent seared in
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

歌を忘れた 花の色は
優しい思い出に揺れて
また何度でも響いて行く(美しく)鮮やかに

uta o wasureta hana no iro wa
yasashii omoide ni yurete
mata nando demo hibiite yuku (utsukushiku) azayaka ni

The colour of the flower who forgot its song
sways in fond memories
then resonates again infinitely (beautifully) vibrantly

前向いて 進んだ先に
描いてた未来 手を繋いで
頼りないけど 一人に一つの花(かけがえのない)力になる
前向いて 選んだ先に
新しい世界が待っていて
またきっと 出会える 新しい 色とりどりの花

mae muite susunda saki ni
egaiteta mirai te o tsunaide
tayorinai kedo hitori ni hitotsu no hana (kakegae no nai) chikara ni naru
mae muite eranda saki ni
atarashii sekai ga matteite
mata kitto de aeru atarashii irotoridori no hana

After facing forward and advancing
you’ll find the future you pictured, hand in hand
It’s not reliable, but for each person is a flower serving as (an irreplaceable) power
After facing forward and choosing your path
a new world will be waiting
I’m sure you’ll be able to meet new colourful flowers again

(One heart / One flower / One World)

温かい風に吹かれて 走り出して踊る心
泣いていた過去に さよなら 新しい花 ひとつ咲いた
素敵なものばかりが 大切なわけじゃないけど
ひとつふたつ 集めては 新しい花 ひとつ咲いた

atatakai kaze ni fukarete hashiri dashite odoru kokoro
naiteita kako ni sayonara atarashii hana hitotsu saita
suteki na mono bakari ga taisetsu na wake janai kedo
hitotsu futatsu ateumsete wa atarashii hana hitotsu saita

Blown by a warm wind, my heart starts running and dances
Farewell to the past when I cried, a new flower has bloomed
Lovely things alone are by no means important
but after gathering one or two, a new flower has bloomed

ONE STEP 踏み出す 心 揺れる 光
TWO STEPS 広がる 新しい 光
甘い香り 閉じ込めたままで
(One heart has a recollection of one flower)

ONE STEP fumi dasu kokoro yureru hikari
TWO STEPS hirogaru atarashii hikari

The colour of the flower who forgot its voice
touches upon fond memories
then shines again infinitely (beautifully) vibrantly

振り向かず 進んだ先に
たくさんの未来 手を伸ばして
怖くはないよ 一人に一つの花(かけがえのない)希望になる
振り向かず 選んだ先に
新しい世界が待っていて
言葉に できない 美しい 色とりどりの花

furi mukazu susunda saki ni
takusan no mirai te o nobashite
kowaku wa nai yo hitori ni hitotsu no hana (kakegae no nai) kibou ni naru
furi mukazu eranda saki ni atarashii sekai ga matteite
kotoba ni dekinai utsukushii irotoridori no hana

After advancing without turning back
you’ll find plentiful
futures, so reach out your hand
It’s not scary, for each person is a flower serving as (an irreplaceable) hope for you
After choosing a path without turning back
a new world will be waiting
It’s impossible to put into words, the beautiful colourful flowers

(One heart / One flower / One World)
僕の手と君の手を重ねて行こう
繋げよう 広げよう 一つの花に

(One heart / One flower / One World)
boku no te to kimi no te o kasanete yukou
tsunageyou hirogeyou hitotsu no hana ni

(One heart / One flower / One World)
Let’s go, with my hand and your hand together
Let’s join them, and spread to the one flower

前向いて 進んだ先に
描いてた未来 手を繋いで
頼りないけど 一人に一つの花(かけがえのない)力になる
前向いて 選んだ先に
新しい世界が待っていて
またきっと 出会える 新しい 色とりどりの花
