無限の風

編曲:酒井良
歌:GESANG
君の横顔を染めて
夕焼けが滲んでゆく
The light of the sunset spreads, as it colours the side of your face.
空よ艶やかな色を 消さないで
Please don't disappear, this enchanting colour of the sky.
時と共に何もかも
移ろって変わるんだね
I guess just about everything changes with time,
君も「じゃあ…」と手をふって 歩きだす
You will also wave your hand and say goodbye, as you walk away.
でも変わらぬものがある
However, there are things that do not change,
言葉には 出せないまま
Things that remains unexpressed in words
心に溢れる思い
The thoughts that overflow from your heart.
切なさよ、さあ
Pain, come now,
優しい風になれ 今すぐ
Become a gentle wind right now.
流れてゆけ
Continue flowing on,
俯向く君の肩 包むように
To wrap around your downcast shoulders.
俺はいつも君を見つめてる
I am always fixing my eyes upon you,
たとえ遠い場所にいても
Even if you are in a far off place.
もしも生まれ変わっても
Even if I am able to be born again,
俺は俺に生まれよう
I would choose to be born again as myself.
そして君を見つけるよ もう一度
And thus I would be able to find you, once again.
形あるもの全てに
In all the things that have a shape,
限りがあるとしたって
It’s been said that there exists a limit.
色褪せぬものはあると 伝えたい
I want to tell you that there are some things, that do not ever fade
ただ近くに君がいた
For you were nearby,
それだけで歩けたんだ
With that I could walk
どんなに険しい道も
However steep the road might be
淋しさよ、さあ
Loneliness, come now,
無限の風になれ ここから
Become an eternal wind, from now on.
流れてゆけ
Continue flowing on,
一人歩く君の背中押して
Pushing you on from behind, while you walk alone.
見えぬ愛で君を助けたい
I want to support you with love unseen,
いつか再び会えるまで
Until I am able to meet you once more, someday.
今変わらぬものはただ
Now, the things that are unchanging are but
言葉には ならなかった
What words cannot be used to express,
輝き続ける思い
These thoughts that continue to glitter.
切なさよ、さあ
Pain, come now
優しい風になれ 今すぐ
Become a gentle wind, right now.
流れてゆけ
Continue flowing on,
俯向く君の肩 包むように
To wrap around your downcast shoulders.
俺はいつも君を見つめてる
I am always fixing my eyes upon you,
たとえ遠い場所にいても
Even if you are in a far off place.

the red thread that binds
between each and every soul,
lies a red thread that binds,
from the heart, to the body, to the soul.
that red thread of fate,
ties our destinies together,
and our path crosses not by coincidence,
only by an inevitable necessity.
to know the reason of which we meet,
is to force a conclusion too hastily,
that even if we try to change,
the inevitable would no doubt be remain.
and thus let us not hastily judge,
nor find reason to escape so,
but steadfastly endure through,
and pray to unravel the tangled web.

negative zero
where pain, flowing, coursing, pulsating through
the lines, streaked, veined, webbed over
where they separate into fragments, broken pieces.

見たことのない草の海が
銀色に揺れてざわめいて
夢と現(うつつ)の境目あたりの景色
the sea of grass that I've never seen before,
swaying and rustling in silver
such is the scenery bordering between dreams and reality
君に出会うため?
それともまだ見ない誰かの瞳のため
風を分けて行く
dream scape
is it for the sake of meeting you?
or is it for the eyes of someone that I haven't seen?
Separating the wind as I go on,
Dream scape
もうすぐ鳴るね、目覚ましの音
でもその先もまだ夢かもしれないね
大事なものは何処にいたってあまり変わらないよね
Soon it will ring right? the sound of the alarm clock
But after that is might be another dream
The important things do not really change very much
目覚めてもまだここにいようと思うよ
それが勇気というものかとも思うよ
Even after waking up I think I will remain here.
I think that’s surely the thing called “courage” right?
sittin' in the silence...everlasting night breeze...
(I believe...I deceive...I relieve...)
暗すぎて見えないだけさ……
in my......
sitting in the silence… everlasting night breeze…
(I believe… I deceive… I relieve…)
It’s just that it is too dark that I can’t really see…
In my…
泣きたくなくて放ってあった胸のササクレに
今頃追いかけられて息もつけなくて
しがみついていた真実がボロボロに枯れて落ちるまで
The splinter of my heart that I abandoned because I did not want to cry,
Is now chasing me that I can’t even catch my breath,
Until the truth that I clung onto crumbles away piece by piece, withering.
今ちょっと見えないだけさ……
It’s just that I can’t really see now…
現実だって夢だって君を迷わせるだけだからさ
Whether it is reality or a dream, it’s because it will only just confuse you.
坂道の上の曲がり角、幾つでもその先に行きたい
音楽の中にしか無い風景の向こうへ
暗すぎて見えないだけさ……
No matter how many bends there are up on the hilly road, I want to go beyond them
To the scene that is only present in music.
It’s just that it is too dark that I can’t really see.
夢の続きには夢が
七色の迷路みたいに
音階の無い草笛に歌を見つけるために
広すぎて目がくらんでも
歌いすぎて喉がかれても
見たことのない草の海を
たとえ君がいなくなっても
The continuation of a dream is another dream
Resembling a maze of prismatic colours.
For the sake of finding a song in a reed that cannot play scales,
Even if my eyes are dazzled by the vastness,
Even if my throat grows hoarse from singing too much,
The sea of grass that I have never seen before…
Even if you were to disappear…
暗すぎて見えないだけさ……
sittin' in the silence...everlasting night breeze...
dream scape
It’s just that it’s too dark that I can’t really see
sittin' in the silence...everlasting night breeze...

The garden of everything
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q65TCFBosWY
*edit: the previous version's romanji sucked big time... looked as if the person was listening to 96kbps version or something. and half guessed the japanese parts. so i had to guess it myself. but i think it's much better. anyway the youtube one is also a bit wrong. and i did some translation =)
Steve Conte + Maaya Sakamoto (坂本真綾)
Steve Conte:
Here you are
Daylight Star
Made out of miracles
Perfection of your own
You alone
Oh so incredible
Each atom sings to me
Set me free
From chains of the physical
Oh free me
Oh free me
Steve Conte and Maaya Sakamoto:
The mirror melts
Somewhere else
Inside eternity
Where you, on outstretched wings,
Sing within
The garden of everything
Where memories call to me
Backward dreams
Or phantom reality
Call to me
Call to me
Steve Conte:
So here we are lovers of lost dimensions
Maaya Sakamoto:
Hika wa ima kaze ni notte haruka tooi
悲歌は今風に乗って 遥か遠い
(The sad melody is now being carried by the wind to the faraway place)
Steve Conte:
Burning supernovas, of all sound and sight
Maaya Sakamoto:
anata no moto e
あなたの元へ
(where you are)
Steve Conte:
Every touch, a temptation
Maaya Sakamoto:
Itsuku sora wa hitotsu ni tsunagaru
いつか空は一つに繋がる
(There will be a day where the sky is connected together)
Steve Conte:
And for every sense, a sensation
Maaya Sakamoto:
Watatte yukeru anata no moto e
渡ってゆけるあなたの元へ
(crossing over to the place where you were)
Steve Conte:
Eyes of pure
Deep azure
Quite unbelievable
Sun's daughter, you've been made
Not to fade
Quite inconceivable
Each atom sings to me
Set me free
From chains of the physical
Oh free me
Oh free me
Steve Conte and Maaya Sakamoto:
A love like ours
A starry flower
Through seasons and centuries
As rivers reach the sea
You reach me
With songs of your symmetry
A small boat, there will float
To far off coasts
The Isle of Infinity
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me
Come with me
Here we'll see
Love's lost tree
Made out of miracles
Emotions, crystal leaves
To cover me,
And you in eternity
Each atom sings to us
Through the blood
Love is a miracle
Sing softly
Sing softly
Sing softly
Sing softly
Steve Conte:
So here we are lovers of lost dimensions
Maaya Sakamoto:
Hika wa ima kaze ni notte haruka tooi
悲歌は今風に乗って 遥か遠い

渡ってゆけるあなたの元へ

So here we are twin stars, brilliant brightness
Maaya Sakamoto:
Hika wa ima kaze ni notte haruka tooi
悲歌は今風に乗って 遥か遠い
(The sad melody is now being carried by the wind to the faraway place)
Steve Conte:
Lanterns lit by life for all the depths of night
Maaya Sakamoto:
anata no moto e
あなたの元へ
(where you are)
Steve Conte:
And every day will return us
Maaya Sakamoto:
Itsuku sora wa hitotsu ni tsunagaru
いつか空は一つに繋がる

Steve Conte:
To arms of the ever eternal
Maaya Sakamoto:
Watatte yukeru anata no moto e
渡ってゆけるあなたの元へ
(crossing over to the place where you were)
Steve Conte:
So here we are, so far from earthly orbits
Maaya Sakamoto:
Hika wa ima kaze ni notte haruka tooi
悲歌は今風に乗って 遥か遠い

So here we are

Where every day will return us
To arms of the ever (+Maaya Sakamoto): eternal

ニコニコ動画(niconicodouga)
medley of anime/game songs which are sung by many various (unknown?) artists. they are quite good, arrangement not bad too.
apparently the artists are called nico nico artists, they are in this week's oricon top 30
video site
but it's in japanese, but quality is better, but registration is difficult if you don't know japanese, but it has interesting stuff, but navigation is kinda hard, but it has funky commenting system.

brainless
whatever are in their minds when people cross the road, albeit a zebra crossing during a drizzling day, right in front of a fire engine.
maybe the fire engine's siren is spoilt. it keeps turning on and off.
maybe the fire engine is bluffing us. it just wants to rush back to the station to enjoy hot breakfast takeaway.
maybe it's just a false alarm. me crossing the road is of the utmost importance that i cannot even delay it by 5 seconds.
maybe... like heeelllooooo! use your brains!!!

越飞越高
歌手:崔苔菁 专辑:越飞越高
握住我的手轻轻的对我说爱我
感谢你在我最孤独的时候对着我微笑
跟着我慢慢摇忘掉吧!烦恼
向他说再见挥挥手把握住一点快乐
跳舞的感觉真好已经很久没有这样
青春的感觉真好本来就是充满幻想
跳舞的感觉真好已经很久没有这样
自由的感觉真好啦啦啦啦越飞越高
不要问我懂不懂
翱翔的我只想要作个白日梦
不要为我停下你的远去脚步
我只想要自由越飞越高越飞越高
for those who knows that i like old songs, this is one song i heard on FM 95.8 while on the way back to sch today.

http://video.cctv.com/opus/5917.html

and the one on my blog is by the original singer.

The last song
Watching the stars till they're gone
Like an actor all alone
Who never knew the story he was in
Who never knew the story ends
Like the sky reflecting my heart
All the colors become visible
When the morning begins
I'll read last line
終わらない雨 抱きしめた 夜が朝を向かえる
心はまだ濡れたまま
In endless rain I've been walking
Like a poet feeling pain
Trying to find the answers
Trying to hide the tears
But it was just a circle
That never ends
When the rain stops, I'll turn the page
The page of the first chapter
傷つくだけ 傷ついて 解ったはずの答えを
どうしてまだ 問いかけてる
Am I wrong to be hurt
Am I wrong to feel pain
Am I wrong to be in the rain
Am I wrong to wish the night won't end
Am I wrong to cry
But I know, It's not wrong to sing the last song
Cause forever fades
気がつけば又 独り夜の空を見つめてる
少しづつ消えて行く Our Memories
傷つくだけ 傷ついて 解ったはずの答えを
どうしてまだ 問いかけてる
I see red
I see blue
But the silver lining gradually takes over
When the morning begins
I'll be in the next chapter
終わらない雨 抱きしめた 夜が朝を向かえる
心はまだ濡れたまま
傷つくだけ 傷ついて 解ったはずの答えを
どうしてまだ 問いかけてる

Larius
Boy meets girl in college.
Boy travelled back in time (not sure why though). JC class reunion, at the JC itself, where (most of) the class was back, having lessons for just fun. Even their former teachers were there teaching them. For half a day. Just before lunch, exchange of gifts with the host class, getting to know you session.
sidetrack - boy goes shoot in archery team, as a newbie/team tryout. Turns out he could shoot long distances, almost blindfolded (trees were obstructing view to the target board. don't ask me why). Team was surprised at his score/grouping.
Back to main story. Boy meets girl. Turns out that she is the class representative (one of them. There were 2 in JC, 1 male 1 female.) Some talk of having lunch in a nearby food centre. Most of the class (new and old) adjourns outside. Girl ended up talking to guy, then was interrupted by her (bimbotic) teacher, guy helps out with whatever the girl was doing. Girl wrote in boy's notebook. "Larius". Boy remembered that the girl wrote the same thing back in college (he time travelled. remember?).
