Introduction…

To waste time and to bring hilarity, though oftentimes dull and pointless, upon my blog readers and myself.

Theory…

Using random shuffling that comes with many modern mp3 players, one can create very oddly substantial but coincidental laughters by “twisting” the title, lyrics and hidden meaning of every song, and then rendering the product as answers to very trivial questions. This method has not been proven scientifically as correct, therefore does not have any rational theory related to it, and thus should be utilized only as entertainment value.

Method…

1. Enqueue all mp3s shuffled on any modern mp3 player.
2. Press forward for each question. Repeat forward if any replicates appear.
3. Use the song title as the answer to the question, even if it doesn’t make sense.
4. With the answers, give comments on how it relates to the questions. Even if one has to resort to “twisting the words”, as per Professor Z lectures.

Results and Analysis…

   I guess I’ll be on autopilot and see where it takes me..
3. How do my friends see me?
   SHOWTA. - Tameiki BOTAN
   I can’t bother to try to translate any of the lyrics because I can’t find any translations due to the fact that his first album EVE is so new. “Tameiki” means sigh and “BOTAN” means button so I guess when my friends see me they sigh and they think I’m a button..???

    “Hitoribocchi no Haburashi” = lonely toothbrush. That’s awesome!! I’ll be a lonely toothbrush on my wedding day! Who’s teeth do I get to serve? Yours? ‘Cause you’re probably invited!!

Discussion…

This experiment creates unnecessary hilarity. Producing and analyzing the result take time and braincells. Not recommended for people without time to waste. The results are not extremely plausible, and many require certain creativity to arrive at a sensible explanation. The results of this experiment depends on the degree of randomness and the player used.

Conclusions…

I will be a toothbrush on my wedding day, I’m invisible and this weekend will be extremely gloomy.

Nobody knows who I really am.
Maybe they just don’t give a damn.
But if I ever need someone to come along,
I know you would follow me and keep me strong.

I want you to know who I really am.
I never thought I’d feel this way towards you.
And if you ever need someone to come along,
I will follow you and keep you strong.

Step, step and step and go…
When the petals fall and dance.
Step, step and step and go…
The bud will eventually turn into a flower.
Step, step and step and go…
And that voice that’s echoing right now.
Step, step and step and go…
The root is thick, deep, long and proud.

Amongst the passing days like this.
Yes, flashing brightly like fire.
Now, our paths have crossed.
We will go on to different directions.
The end of the days are sparkling,
because time colors them with light.
And I move towards the crossroad…
See you again someday, at this crossroad.

Rap lyrics by Sakurai Sho. It’s awesome <3.

With each coming morning, I think of you
Making even the start of the day too much to bear
Can’t we return? To when we were innocent
When I was happy just by your side

Fearful of the passage of time, I had cried
With the sould of one who was changing

Though we’ve nothing to lose without desires
I can’t help but want for something
No matter what future lay ahead

After the dream
You’re still so far away
And only my feelings rush ahead, fruitlessly
This street, with it’s flower rain, remains unchanging
I want to walk it arm in arm with you

Even when we were tired of fighting, we can meet again
How long can such days last?

Sometimes I think gloomily
That we were born into this world with emotions

It flitted up and set off for a place so far away
On lonely nights, what I remember most
Wasn’t who I loved, but the days I spent being loved

After the dream
Beyond the window to freedom
The sound of the wind parting ways before my eyes
The sunlight falling in silence after it passes
Is too gentle, and increases my longing

Just as if I’d been dreaming
I can’t reach you now
Words without love make no sound
Though confused, I’m smiling for you
As you seem to watch over me from a small distance away

But you’re still so far
And only my feelings rush ahead, fruitlessly
It’s after a long, crumbling dream
And yet… there will still be love in this world

mou nidoto hontou no egao wo tori modosu koto

dekinai kamoshirenai to omou yoru mo atta kedo

taisetsu na hito tachi no atatakasa ni sasaerare

mou ichido shinjite mi you ka na to omoimashita

松本: 謝謝。 謝謝你們。 Arashi愛你們。 最後的一首歌﹐送給大家。

在感觉到无援孤独的时候　只有你在心里
胸中埋藏已久的怨气　尽情发泄给自己

在抱怨没有人陪著的时候　你走进我心里
像开在路边的小花一朵　温柔的笑在风里

是谁能够　能够为谁
愿意付出完全毫不在乎
只有最真的爱才能够
抚平心里所有痛苦

Smile again　真的谢谢你
Smile again　在哭泣声里
来到这个世界　我们会变得
面对困难一定更坚强

Smile again　因为有你
Smile again　所以更快乐
虽然没说出口　初次拥有的
发自内心深处的爱是 ARASHI

作曲：Shusui・Tobias Lundgren・Johan Fransson・Tim Larsson

夜を見上げて　まわる星空　君はどこにいるの?
聞こえないよね　届いているの?　泣いた星に話しかける

Yoru wo miagete mawaru hoshizora kimi wa doko ni iru no?
Kikoenaiyone todoiteiruno? Naita hoshi ni hanashikakeru

Looking at the revolving night sky, where are you?
You can’t hear this… Is this reaching you? I’m talking to the star that had shed tears.

Cry with me　Smile with me　感じて　ずっと
Pray with me　そばにいたいから　心　ひとつに

Cry with me Smile with me Kanjite zutto
Pray with me soba ni itaikara kokoro hitotsu ni

Cry with me, smile with me, feel it forever.
Pray with me. Because you’re here, my heart will become one.

闇に抱かれて　水面に揺れる　君はなにしてるの?
まわりの音に　流されてるの?　繋いだ手を離さないで

Yami ni dakarete minamo ni yureru kimi wa nani shiteru no?
Mawari no oto ni nagasareteru no? Tsunaida te wo hanasanaide

I am enveloped by the darkness and my reflections are swaying on the surface of the water. What are you doing now?
The repeating sound… Is it flowing? Don’t take away your hand away from mine.

Stay with me　Share with me　信じて　ずっと
Come with me　今は遠くても　未来　ひとつに

Stay with me Share with me Shinjite zutto
Come with me ima wa tookutemo mirai hitotsu ni

Stay with me, share with me, believe it forever.
Come with me, it’s faraway now, but the future will be here.

この距離がふたりの　想う心を　奪うのは　やめてほしい
君に会えるときを　いつも夢見てるよ

Kono kyori ga futari no omou kokoro wo ubau no wa yamete hoshii
Kimi ni aeru toki wo itsumo yume miru yo

This distance wants to give up the hearts that connect us.
I’ve always been dreaming when I can see you.

Cry with me　Smile with me　感じて　ずっと
Pray with me　そばにいたいから　心　ひとつに

Cry with me Smile with me Kanjite zutto
Pray with me soba ni itaikara kokoro hitotsu ni

Cry with me, smile me, feel it forever.
Pray with me. Because you’re here, my hear will become one.

Stay with me　Share with me　信じて　ずっと
Come with me　今は遠くても　未来　ひとつに

Stay with me Share with me Shinjite zutto
Come with me ima wa tookutemo mirai hitotsu ni

Stay with me, share with me, believe it forever.
Come with me, it’s faraway now, but the future will be here.

心　ひとつに

Kokoro hitotsu ni

The heart will become one.

I think I fell in love with this song the moment Koyama (I think it’s Koyama that sings first in this song) started singing. Honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever fallen in love with a JE song so quickly before. With others, I had always been inclined to like some of them because I’m usually watching the drama that it’s from, and the ones that weren’t used in a drama, I had only always liked them after listening to them a couple of times. However, this song is so awesome, it’s recorded so well and the lyrics were heartfelt too. Unfortunately, they don’t all make sense to me, which means not all of it is correct. But I did my best in the amount of time that I had allowed myself to work on this. It’s just a wonderful song; it’s in both the limited and the regular edition as the B-side of weeeek. I had been voraciously looking (okay, maybe this is just slightly exaggerated) for the limited version for the past 2 hours or so (to no avail) because I don’t have the Original Karaoke for weeeek. Anyway, just give the lyrics a chance, even though it makes absolutely no sense right now, I’ll most likely go get it fix, how I don’t know yet, ask Fukui-sensei? I don’t want to bother her…. *I just started to blab…* The melody is awesome too. Tegoshi’s solo was awesome…. Kyyya.. Love it.

Comment on the grammar please. Even better if you actually tell me what some of the grammar structures in the original lyrics mean..!!

Original kanji lyrics from http://music.goo.ne.jp/.

That’s it, I’m waking up to this song tomorrow…

The one who gifts you, the one who lifts you. She’s the angel in your eyes. Tiny kisses, magic wishes, makes the world a big surprise.

Let’s go paint our clumsy dreams.

Even if you say the world is spinning…

You don’t have to say anything until the end; I can tell by looking at your expression.

I see there’s people hurting each other day by day, sometimes it seems like no hope unless we believe in love. I don’t want us to fall apart like a house of cards.

How can I sleep without seeing your smile?

I lie awake, in this moonless night. Knowing our time isn’t right. Shadows of dreams, cast from my soul. Without your light, I’ll never be home. I have arrived much too soon. I’m waiting for you to enter my room.

Embrace me one more time..

What kind of future are we depicting?

Just wanna go home. I miss you, you know.

Everybody is a lonely soldier..

I was born to fall in love. You know, we’re all alone. Hold your dreams, it never ends. Naked eyes, in the sky.

To trust your senses, no more pretenses, I believe you’ll rise above. When you surrender to all the splendor of her love. When you surrender to all the splendor of her love..

Lovin’ you and Love in the Ice are my favorite recently released songs by Touhoushinki (as a side note, if you have Facebook, go check out the Graffiti I drew on Marina’s wall *lol*). I’ve been putting off recording them because I know somehow I would manage to mess it up. I finally had some bravado today after my classes were done to try Lovin’ you. Now, I have to admit that I do not like Lovin’ you that much, just a bit I guess, not enough for me to go <3 <3 <3 over. That’s why I never paid attention to what the boys were singing about, even when I understood some Japanese. When I checked up the Japanese lyrics to Lovin’ you, my heart just cracked. The lyrics were so sad…

I would love to try translating the lyrics for the song, but after reading an already translated version of the lyrics, I reconsidered the thought because the bittersweet meanings of the words were lost in translation. Which sucks, because the lyrics were so wonderful.

(I almost considered writing a Japanese 101 blog post just so my readers would understand it without me having to translate it, but then I don’t really have that kind of time.)

I just want you to know, and especially the two DBSK fans who reads my blog, that the lyrics of Lovin’ you are to die for. Second to Jay Chou’s FARUXUE and Oda Kazumasa’s tashika na koto.
