It's been awhile

2010-03-16T11:44:00.003-10:00

Hey, for those of you following my blog, I'm sorry that I haven't been posting any translations lately. I've been busy.

Since a lot of you are here because of my Tsubakiya Quartette translations, I thought I'd let you know that the guitarist, Yasutaka Takurou, has decided to leave the group. The group blog, which is written by the lead singer Nakada Yuuji, had this to say:

もうオフィシャルの方でご存知の方もいらっしゃると思いますが、
昨日のカーニバルツアー終了をもって
ギタリスト安高拓郎が脱退する事になりました。

You probably already know this, but yesterday the Carnival Tour ended, and it has been decided that Guitarist Yasutaka Takurou will leave.

具体的な理由や内容は一度に伝えられるほど簡単なものではありません。
数えきれない程の沢山の葛藤の末に出た答えです。

There is no specific reason or detail that can be conveyed so simply all at once. This is the answer that came at the end of countless conflicts.

ツアーも終了、新曲のタイアップ決定という
本来喜ぶべきポジティブなニュースと同時に
このような報告をしなければいけない事を
大変心苦しく、申し訳なく思っています。

I am sorry for giving you this kind of heart-wrenching information at the same time as the positive news that we finished our tour and are tying up things on a new song.

俺はこの四人でいる椿屋四重奏を本当に愛していました。
ツアー中、脱退が決まったとき
ひとつ大きな夢が消えてしまったような気がして
正直な所、喪失感で途方に暮れていました。

I really loved the four-person Tsubakiya Quartette. During the tour, when his leaving had been decided, I felt like one big dream had disappeared, and to be honest, I was confused with a feeling of loss.

でも仕方なかった。
もうお互いに同じ理想を共有しながら
このまま続けていく事が出来なかったんです。

But it can't be helped. While we all shared the same ideals, we couldn't keep going like this.

何度も何度も話し合い、なんとか解決は出来ないかと
全員で努力しました。でも限界だった。
いっそ解散しようかとも考えてました。

After talking together many times, we couldn't reach a decision. We all tried our best. But it was at its limits. I thought that we might as well disband.

ツアー中に発表しなかったのは、ヤッチンの責任感です。
最後の水戸ファイナルまでは、椿屋四重奏の安高拓郎として居たいと。
そしてもちろん、俺達も居て欲しいと。
湿っぽくなるのも嫌だしって。

Yacchin's sense of responsibility didn't appear during the tour. Tsubakiya Quartette's Yasutaka Takurou wanted to be with us until the finale at Mito. And of course, we wanted him to be there as well. But it would have been bad to be gloomy.

最後に唄った嵐が丘は、俺からのはなむけでした。
どうしても唄いたかった。

The song, "Arashi ga Oka" that we sang at the end was a farewell gift from us. We wanted to sing it no matter what.

アイツは本当に心の優しい男です。
沢山助けられたし、アイツのおかげでバンドが楽しかった。
これからは思う存分自分の好きなように自分のやりたい事をやって欲しい。
俺には無いいろんな面白い才能もある。
いちヤッチンファンとしてこれからを期待してます。

He's a really happy guy. I was helped by him a lot, and thanks to him, the band was enjoyable. From now on, I want him to do what he wants to.
He has many talents that I don't.
I am expecting to be one of Yacchin's fans.

そして俺は彼の脱退を無駄にしないよう
椿屋を続けていかなきゃ。止めるわけにはいかない。

And I will not stop his departure.
Tsubakiya has to continue. It doesn't mean we're stopping.

でも一度終わりです。

But this is one ending.

ヤッチンが居たこの五年間の椿屋四重奏は解散しました。

The Tsubakiya Quartette of five years with Yachhin has dissolved.

もう一度ここから出直しです。

We will adjust once more from now on.

これだけで終わると悲しいばっかりなんだけど、
今はヤッチンもメンバーもすごく前向きです。
延期になった宇都宮、埼玉、水戸の３本は、本当に心から楽しかった。
きっと忘れないでしょう。

Ending with just this is so sad, but now both Yacchin and the members will look forward/be positive.
The three postponed Utsunomiya, Saitama, and Mito concerts, I really enjoyed them from my heart.
I surely won't forget.

アイツの新たな船出をどうか温かく見守ってあげてください。

Please watch over his new setting out to sea warmly.

ヤッチン、本当にありがとう。
素晴らしい季節を一緒に過ごせた事を嬉しく思います。

Yacchin, thank you so much.
I enjoyed the wonderful seasons we passed with you.

うまくまとまってなくてごめんなさい。

I'm sorry for not ending this gracefully.

I'm glad that they're not breaking up, but this post was very sad.

The new song he talks about is called "Ibara no Michi" and will be out on 5/26.

Words can't deceive me, so I embrace my pain When I noticed it, the sky was reflected in a pool of water. It's the same asking anyone One's own self or many An incomplete failure Answering each other and searching for mistakes An umbrella that won't break is necessary in order to go to that child's place Thrown into the wind, the heart is snatched away Only by clinging to it do the days pass If I am reborn, being rescued and such It's just a comfort. When I noticed it, the sky was shining in a pool of water. If I start to run, when the rain of a downpour doesn't soak it, the head hides. Words can't deceive me, so I embrace my pain When I noticed it, the sky was reflected in a pool of water.

Happy New Years everyone!

いつも単調な　サイクルの輪をくぐって浮かない現実が　開き直れば静かな悲劇思いつきの　連続で目が回って君に触りたくって夜空に晒す愛の言葉の醜さよ全部仕組まれた甘い罠だった愛しさが身を染めて憎たらしさに呆れ思いは加速していくばかり塗り固めたイメージが崩れ落ちて行く様なかなかお目にかかれないよいつも冷静な　肩から腰にそって張りつめていくテンション尋常じゃない赤い重力で今の気分は　完全に血が上って判断がつかなくって世界の全てを敵に回したっていいんだ耳元で言ったこれは罰だって君が持ち込んだリズムが何かを狂わすのさどれにも当てはまらないセオリー記憶を辿ってみても身に覚えの無い事引き摺りおろされるように愛に果て君は気まぐれまさに罪だって恋が襲った恋が襲った恋が	itsumo tanchou na saikuru no wa wo kugutte ukanai genjitsu ga hirakinaoreba shizuka na higeki omoitsuki no renzoku de me ga mawatte kimi ni sawaritakutte yozora ni sarasu ai no kotoba no minikusa yo zenbu shikumareta amai wana datta itoshisa ga mi wo somete nikutarashisa ni akire omoi wa kasoku shite iku bakari nurikatameta imeeji ga kuzureochite iku sama nakanaka ome ni kakarenai yo. itsumo reisei na kata kara koshi ni sotte haritsumete iku tenshon jinjou janai akai juuryoku de ima no kibun wa kanzen ni chi ga nobotte handan ga tsukanakutte sekai no subete wo teki ni mawashitatte iinda mimimoto de itta kore wa batsu datte kimi ga ochikonda rizumu ga nanika wo kuruwasu no sa dorenimo atehamaranai seorii kioku wo tadotte mite mo mi ni oboe no nai koto hikizuri orosareru you ni ai ni hate kimi wa kimagure masa ni tsumi datte koi ga osotta koi ga osotta koi ga	Going through the always monotonous cycle's circle If the reality that isn't merry turns defiant it's a quiet tragedy. Dizzy with the continuity of ideas I want to be touched by you and exposed to the night sky The ugliness of words of love It was all devised. It was a sweet trap. Love stains the body, and shocked by hatred, thoughts are only accelerating. The hardened image and the crumbling appearance aren't be able to meet up easily. From the always calm shoulder along to the hips A tension that's freezing over It's not usual It's red gravity The feelings now completely raise the blood Judgement won't follow If all the world surrounds its enemies it's fine You said it to my ears That this is a punishment The rhythm you brought drives something mad. It's a theory that doesn't apply to everything Even if I try to follow my memories Things my body can't remember So that the train of the dress will be dropped The end of love You're whimsical Surely it's a crime Love attacked Love attacked Love

There's a part where 上がって is used, but he sings のぼって. Just a note.

A brilliant butterfly, alone. I was gazing at it quietly. I took my sadness and lost the exit. The forest's entrance. The loneliness that coils around Without being cool, I had lost my way. Open up the bundled music in an inexperienced way, Woh From the piano I play, the thing I can hear is a challenging voice, a departing "goodbye." A night of a waning moon Changing numbers, for you who I gaze at. Light a fire in the forest. The butterfly won't be able to fly. Shall I watch its befuddlement? Without going home, without being released. With the night that waits for the end in this beautiful forest. The was one thing I was able to see was the stardust of the night sky. I'm aiming for it. Blindfolded in this forest. Will I forget you who left, in this journey I won't return from? Without hesitating for unstoppable times, scorch it. Please burn it till with flames till it's all gone.

The expectations that go back and forth through the maze of the subway will hurry someplace today too without changing paths. Real things, lies and deceptions, I don't care about either. As long as there was an excuse for tomorrow, then everything was finished. The unceasing evening rain is only a little tranquil. The thing that slips away from the show window is someone's grief. Tokyo, where the morning light shines on, peeled off its mask and was defenseless. Tokyo that the morning light dyes is an endless fiction of a long escape. The figure of you beyond the mirror, it was different from the you I know. The unceasing alarm is a cowardly beast's voice. No one knows the whereabouts of the key I substituted.

I was considering doing the whole album, but we'll see. :)

気付いてた　俺はとうに破り捨てたコレクション身を屈め　傷を舐め息をひそめ狙った君が跪いて　無抵抗になって虚ろに見上げた胸が疼いて　落ち着かないぜ罪に取り憑かれてこんな事で世界は動かないよ君はクレイジー　まともじゃないぜ無造作に抱かれて just call me crazy 見境無いぜ鮮やかに染まって目に映るもの全て　燃え尽きたかのようさ手に触れたもの全て　凍り付いてるようさ何も縛らないよ　君の自由さ好きに選びなよ非対称なせいで　歩けやしないぜすぐに道をそれてこんな事で世界は踊らされて君はクレイジー　間違いないぜ無造作に求めて just call me crazy 見境無いぜ鮮やかに染まって君はクレイジー　深く知りすぎて l wanna be crazy　疑わないで鮮やかに染まって just call me crazy l wanna be crazy	kidzuiteta ore wa tou ni yaburisuteta korekushon mi wo kagame kizu wo name iki wo hisome neratta kimi ga hizamazuite muteikou ni natte utsuro ni miageta mune ga uzuite ochitsukanai ze tsumi ni toritsukarete konna koto de sekai wa ugokanai yo kimi wa kureijii matomo janai ze muzousa ni dakarete just call me crazy misakai nai ze azayaka ni somatte me ni utsuru mono subete moetsukitaka no you sa te ni sawareta mono subete kooritsuiteru you sa nani mo shibaranai yo kimi no jiyuu sa suki ni erabi na yo hitaishou na sei de arukeyashinai ze sugu ni michi wo sorete konna koto de sekai wa odorasarete kimi wa kureijii machigai nai ze muzousa ni motomete just call me crazy misakai nai ze azayaka ni somatte kimi wa kureijii fukaku shirisugite I wanna be crazy utagawanaide azayaka ni somatte just call me crazy I wanna be crazy	I've realized it. I'm already a collection that's been discarded. Bent my body, licked my wounds, held my breath and aimed. You kneeled, became unresisting, and looked up vacantly My heart aches and I can't be calm. I'm haunted by guilt. Because of this, the world won't move. You're crazy, you're not straight-forward. You're embraced by simplicity Just call me crazy, there's no distinction. Dye me vividly. Everything that reflects in your eyes seems like they're burning out. Everything touched by your hand seems to freeze. Nothing ties it down, your freedom. Don't choose as you like. Because it's asymmetrical you can't walk. Stray from the road right away. Because of this, the world is being manipulated. You're crazy, there's no mistake. Simply demanding. Just call me crazy, there's no distinction. Dye me vividly. You're crazy, You know too much. I wanna be crazy, without a doubt. Dye me vividly. Just call me crazy. I wanna be crazy.

基本はノリの悪い私が参加する久々のドライブで皆ハイテンション　彼も来るの！脈が今は無くとも　絶対行きますとも！「すっごいすっごいポーカーフェイスだとしたら。。。アルよ」なんて「海は日焼けするから　山にしよう」ってコートの季節なのに勘違いしてるどうしてなの？　こんな嬉しくて　ちぎれそうな程　笑っているのに彼の背中　見ては胸つまる　絶えない笑顔の渦の中で無駄に保守的なとこ　打破したいんだけどスカートは結局履かすじまいなの　次回こそは「定員オーバーしてます　窓曇ってるし」彼がそう笑いながら平袖になってる窓を開けて　声を放り投げた　こんな楽しい事　他にはないのに彼の笑顔　見ては胸つまる　うかれた女の　渦の中で寒いよって文句言いながら腕組んで飛び出した冷たい星　砕いて散りばめた空　見上げたらどうしてなの？　私の隣に　突然彼がいて　思わず黙る「キレイ」って言う　彼の優しい声　ぶれて裏返って　本当に笑えた予想外の寒さだったけれど　久々に会えて　企画者エライエライはしゃぎすぎた私達ぐったり　この日を永遠に　覚えてたい	kihon wa nori no warui watashi ga sanka suru hisabisa no doraibu de minna hai tenshon kare mo kuru no! myaku ga ima wa naku to mo zettai ikimasu to mo!

A long drive and everyone in high tension. He's coming too! Without a pulse now, I will definitely go! Something like, "Giving an amazing poker face...I'll be there." "The ocean will give us sunburn, so let's go to the mountain," he says. But it's coat season, he's mistaken. Why is it? I'm so happy it seems I'm being torn apart, although I'm laughing His back, seeing it tightens up my chest. I'm in the whirlpool of his never-ending smiling face. Uselessly conservative times, I want to break down but Should I have worn a skirt after all? Next time. "We've got too many people, and the windows are foggy." While he makes that smile, he becomes distant. I opened the window and threw out my voice. This kind of happiness, there's nothing else besides it. His smiling face, seeing it tightens up my chest. I'm in the whirlpool of a merry woman. While he complained that it was cold, he folded his arms and rushed out. I looked up at the sky where cold stars broke and started to fall. Why is it? Suddenly he's next to me and it's silent without noticing. "Beautiful" he says with his kind voice. I was shaken upside down, and I was really able to smile. There was an unforeseen coldness, but we were able to meet for a long time. A great, great planner. We were too happy and exhausted. I want to remember this day for eternity.

Translation Resources

2008-04-27T19:18:00.002-10:00

I now break from the sporadically posted translations to bring you some nice translation resources.

JWPce - A free Japanese word processor. I use it mostly for its dictionary and kanji lookup features, but it's good if you can't type Japanese any other way.

Excite - Like Alta Vista Babelfish, but I tend to trust the Japanese to English translations of this one a little more.

goo 音楽 - A good site to find song lyrics.

Google - Can't find lyrics? Try type the song name, artist and 歌詞 (lyrics).　Can't figure out a word? Sometimes, putting it in and reading Japanese posts helps. Tacking on 意味 (meaning) may or may not help as well.

I looked for the self I lost in time The vision you repainted that day The thing I rashly remembered was the winking that resembled temptation Because I've shed my skin, it's not scary The blade's edge of the betrayal you were used to using, before long, killed your conceit. It was hidden by your red lipstick、 memories of a modest girl. Your unaware naked body, I want to tread on it. We just gather each other's bodies that only accept, and we licked each other's wounds If it comes true, a desire that seems to burn the heart, I wanted to try dancing in the rusted sky. Don't call for help. From the start, you planned that. The radiance of a dead breath inside of amber Someone calls, touching me in some dream But I can't choose The reason it has stopped inside my chest is because sadness is beautiful. Still without being tamed, I grieve for now We just gather each other's bodies that only accept, and we licked each other's wounds If it comes true, a desire that seems to burn the heart, I wanted to try dancing in the rusted sky. Hold me tightly, so tight that it hurts too if that ending you wish for comes. We just...

遠く流れ去ったあの日　窓に伝う雨の雫誰かの影を残した部屋の隅で記憶から風が漏れて　鼻先を撫でて消えた確か眠らせたはずの胸の鼓動次々と心をよぎった見るも鮮やかな世界の誘い時計の針を合わせて　身支度は軽く済ませ目覚めた夢は助手席に座らせて春から夏への途中らしいひときわ眩しい日差しの中へ有り余った悲しみを　連れ添って拾いに行くのさ全ての夜を渡るための子守唄を血の通った言葉だけ　熱を持った君の肩にだけ触れていたいからあの続きをまた始めるよ　ポケットの鍵を探しながら君がなぞってる写し絵の花もうじき咲く頃出来たら僕に片方くれてよ枯れることない君の身代わりに有り余った悲しみを　連れ添って僕らは始めた全ての夜をくぐるための物語を夢に沿った海岸線を　抱き合った君の温もりを忘れぬように　この歌を胸に踊らせブルーバックの中へ手を伸ばして	tooku nagaresatta ano hi, mado ni tsutau ame no shizuku dareka no kage wo nokoshite heya no sumi de kioku kara kaze ga morete hanasaki wo nadete kieta tashika nemuraseta hazu no mune no kodou tsugi tsugi to kokoro wo yogitta miru mo azayakana sekai no sasoi tokei no hari wo awasete mijitaku wa karuku sumase mesameta yume wa joshuseki ni suwarasete haru kara natsu he no tochuu rashii hitokiwa mabushii hizashi no naka he ariamatta kanashimi wo tsuresotte hiroi ni iku no sa subete no yoru wo wataru tame no komoriuta wo chi no kayotta kotoba dake netsu wo motta kimi no kata ni dake fureteitaikara ano tsudzuki wo mata hajimeru yo, poketto no kagi wo sagashinagara kimi ga nazotteru utsushie no hana moujiki saku koro dekitara boku ni katahou kurete yo kareru koto nai kimi no mi kawari ni ariamatta kanashimi wo tsuresotte hiroi ni iku no sa subete no yoru wo kuguru tame no monogatari wo yume ni sotta kaigansen wo, dakiatta kimi no nukumori wo wasurenu you ni, kono uta wo mune ni odorase BURUUBAKKU no naka he te wo nobashite	That day that has flowed far away, the drops of rain going by the window The corner of the room where someone's shadow remains From memories, the wind escaped, brushed the tip of my nose, then disappeared. Certainly the beatings of a heart that should be sleeping One by one the feelings passed, Seeing the invitation of a vivid world. The needles of the clock match up, I finish lightly dressing myself The awakened dream is put in the passenger seat It seems to be between spring and summer. Heading towards the middle of the remarkable dazzling sunlight Bound to the excessive sadness, I'm going to find it. A lullaby to pass through all the nights Only words that circulated in the blood. Only for the shoulder of you who had a fever. Because I want to be touched, I will start that continuation again while I searching for the key in my pocket. The flower of a shadowgraph you traced, It's already it's blooming time. If it can be done, give me one. To substitute you who doesn't wither. Bound to theexcessive sadness, we started it. A story to pass through all the nights The coastline I followed in dreams, Your warmth I embraced, So that it won't be forgetten, dance with this song in your heart. Reach out your hand towards the blue background.

Yeah, the town of the morning glow is waiting for calm winds Carry the light pink, the swaying tremors Yeah, into the quiet sentiments of the quiet moment, it has fallen! It fell with a flutter! The atmosphere of the town of lights beats, sending a signal to my eardrums. The grains that dance through the sunbeams created the one world. Pass out of the transparent maze and connect equally. Riding realism with the overlapping voices, the days that are arranged have burst out and flown away. Meeting the morning light countless times It's being revived, like fireworks. Being born and dying under the shining stars How many victims remain? Attach a prayer to the world of grains dancing throught the sunbeams. The lives of every color are connected equally Signalling at the moment of rising voices, The days that are arranged have burst out and flown away. The atmosphere of the town of lights is beating, Sending a secret signal to my eardrums. If it's a miracle, it's probably rising up there right now endlessly. The grains dancing through the sunbeams created the one world. Pass out of the transparent maze and connect equally. Riding realism with the overlapping voices The days that are arranged have burst out and flown away. Right now, connect equally, Right now, to the equal world, Wrap up the end with the today that will be shaped.

Greetings. After mulling over what to do with this account, I finally decided to use it for some song translations I occasionally do. It's mostly to practice my Japanese as well as for my own enjoyment. I'm by no means a professional, but I've tried to look them over. Anyway, please enjoy!

As for what I translate, it's usually songs I really like listening to and haven't seen translations around for them.

Also, I'll probably fool around with the layout later...
