JPN PRIDE

sukiyaki teriyaki harakiri geisha
sushi soba tempura Mt. Fuji ninja

We're obviously Japanese. Chimpanzees with an oriental accent
We've got no folds in our eyelids, and flat noses? So what! Our noses may be flat, but our pride is high!
I don't have a top knot or a katana, but I'll show you my Neo-Bushido
Thou and I, we've always rocked Harakiri. Don't call us yellow and try to make fools of us!

JPN PRIDE

Forget not your patriotism, be not swayed by the great nations
The Japanese Flag, the rising sun, Bushido, give it all you've got

I don't want any of this deflation or economic crisis, until we win
we can't forget, the kamikaze pilots, show them all the balls of an island nation
JPN PRIDE
Let pride, called Takanegusa, bloom in your heart
Like a beautifully dancing flower, until the days fade like a samurai

Sakura sakura The dancing flowers steal my heart and dazzle me
sakura sakura Stepping on the fallen flowers without noticing. Aa...


21st Century Tokyo Blues

It's the beginning of the century. Japan ain't moving. What happened to Armageddon.
We wait but the situation won't change. The war seems never ending.
IZ THERE NO HAPPY END ? HUH..
Hangings and murdering parents. That's all I see on TV morning to night
What hell is going on? What's the world coming to (It's full of idiots)
Do we like other's accidents and unhappiness that much?
NEWAY WHY U SO CRUEL LIKE DAT ?

Really, it's all idiots. The whole world. All the guys on top do MURDER x2
I can't take this any more MOTHER FXXKERS
We're so far from peace still.
Oh, this sucks. LIFE in a world like this
It's not just the kids, the adults are fucked too
So many more are diving to their deaths
Let's dive into life now THANK U!!

'Future, Hope, Dreams' nowadays those words are gibberish
The world is full of nameless people full of packets
We only say our real thoughts in virtual reality
LETS LUV YA FROM THE SURFACE.

...Their neighbor might get imprisoned, or die and people just say 'It's got nothing to do with me'
It's so inhuman. Ah...


In 1999 There was a prophecy
EVERYBODY WAS LIKE panicking. But nothing happened and we were all let down
Where were you and what were you dreaming of or expecting that night?
Did you want the world to end like in the prophecy?
BUT U STILL WANNA LIVE. DONT U ?

NINTY NINE didn't meet our expectations. There's no dreams or home in this millenium
There's terrorists every day in the middle east, even our allies are having anti-Japan demonstations
But that's okay. As long as you're breathing here, just be glad of that
In this ear when no one knows what's going on. Get a move on, start something

I play a rusty guitar and sing a dried up message in a hoarse voice for you
don't let this messed up world infect you
PLZ BE URSELF HONEY.
Everyone is living dead 21st Century Blues.

KAVKI BOYS

Have your own way
Just be yourself. Keep your childish heart. Believe in what you want to believe
No one knows what's right and what's wrong
in this era, not even the adults so
Don't let them fool you. Don't kill your individuality. Before you lose yourself, just spit in their faces
Do what everything you can, even if you fail sometimes
Someday you'll be able to look back and laugh about it
WE ARE KAVKI BOIZ

What's wrong with being gaudy? What's wrong with standing out?
Let's get made up, let's get dressed up.

Have your own way
Be yourself. Keep you bratty heart. Don't look at what you don't wanna see
No one knows what's right and what's wrong

Just break it all down

And the morning sun will come sweetly


NOWHEREGOD

NO WHERE GOD or NOW HERE GOD
Either one's fine, but ain't no one but you who can open the door of tomorrow
So there's no point in relying on anythign else
Only thing you can say is 'I'm awesome.'
You need enough confidence to smile and say that
Just believe in yourself Aight u know?

To believe or not believe It's up to you babe Up to you
Wear a cross or put your hands together
i dont care about it do what you want
But God and Buddha They're above the clouds you know?
If you're expectations are dashed It's nobody's fault And who will で、誰がケツ拭くの?

God always has NO responsibility.

NO WHERE GOD or NOW HERE GOD
Be strong. Be yourself. I know you can do it. You can do it.

Why are you asking god all of a sudden.Oh my god, you want love like that?
If you can get it that easy, I want it too. for U from 100 yen
All these old geezers moaning about God
Their prayers don't end the war. The god of these damn politicians is money
er

The one you need to believe in isn't God
And it ain't me either. On Yourself. Yes, it's you.

What should you believe? WHERE IS GOD He's inside your heart  
But will you realize that or not? It's up to you
You can only see yourself, you know?
So take another look in your heart. It's there even if you don't yell
It doesn't matter if he's there or now. kami-sama is ore-sama. Just kidding.

Remember Santa's face u remember that? Only on Christmas
And the only time we go to the shrine is Only New's Year Day
Ya know? (LOL)

In this place where the sun don't shine

In this place where the sun doesn't shine I look up at the sky
I tried to follow the fast flowing clouds without closing my eyes
I was scared. That if I closed my eyes it would all be a lie
The wind howls like it's trying to fill the gaps in the clouds
I feel like I might get blown away but
I don't care if it blurs a little, I'll look ahead of me
Straight on, I'll get through it, I won't hesistate
And if I do that one day, I'll be able to overcome the clouds

This road is long, never ending,
even if all that lies ahead is despair
Beyond that there's dreams and hope
I don't care if it's oversimplification, I want to believe that
I don't have anything to lead me, but I'll make my path myself
Even if my eyes are closed, I can walk with my ears pricked

I'll change those stupid pointless values and prejudices
I'll show them that no dream is meaningless, worhtless or impossible
We can change it without changing. This is our future, you know?
We can only grab it with our own hands

How far do I have to walk?
How far have a I come?
If I turn back all I see if a barren field and a road stretching back forever
On this lonely road I think now
Even if life is made of pain and sorrow
It's not bad if I met you to wipe all those tears away
So even if it's just for a little bit
Can you stay with me, and hold my hand?

Like a flower in full bloom - Neo Visualizm

X, Luna Sea, Kuroyume, they made this path
I won't let it end, I'll break it, the irony
We gotta protect our future (dream)
I'm serious about this shit. I'm singing prepared to lose it all
Don't hinder. Get out of here
Don't judge a book buy it's cover (don't fuck with me)

Yeah, but foundation, blush and mascara
"If I take this off, no one will know who I am"
Relying on your appearence before skill, that's even worse
To make a history that I can be proud of
and be a big artist my fans will be proud of
Hey ya buddy u got ready?
I'm taking aim at the Main stream I'm gonna drive down Victory road

Clothes and genre got nothing to do with it. Strip it all off. (Just kidding)
Break down the levy, I'm gonna light the fuse
Hurry hurry but, Don't worry It doesn't matter if you fail.
You snooze you lose. Just do it. No matter how many time you have to try, be like a weed.

Even if you get ripped up or trampled on just keep on blooming.
Keep on believing. Even if it doesn't rain and the sun doesn't shine
Be cool, don't worry. If you're lost, just ask someone for help.
If you've lost sight of your dreams just close your eyes
and one day you'll bloom again, keep your hands up high

Cyber in the Rokumeikan* AREAに & ON AIR WEAT
Youth is gone before you know it
Go east, go west. We put our dreams and ours hope in the van and got on the highway
What's changed since then? And what hasn't changed?
We can't go back then, so we've just gotta make it happen again, right?
On the long and winding road We don't got time for reminiscing, Bro.

I'm On the way of life. You lose out if you're always building walls
Thinking won't change thing, so let's keep fighting, Buddy
What's that? They've suddenly started dancing, yeah keep on moving.
Let your flower bloom, the new century ends tonight, bloomin'


Even if you get ripped up or trampled on just keep on blooming.
Keep on believing. Even if it doesn't rain and the sun doesn't shine
Be cool, don't worry. If you're lost, just ask someone for help.
If you've lost sight of your dreams just close your eyes
and one day you'll bloom again, keep your hands up high
raise them towards the light

*Rokumeikan was a western style ballroom opened in Tokyo in the 1880s

Lazy days

Why are we living? Why do we die?
None of us know, not the animals or the trees and flowers either
But we're still living the best we can
Our repeating days, the ordinary everyday
We're aren't living to die
We die to live again
As we all search for meaning

Life isn't all pain
But it's not all fun either
There are ups and downs
You've got the sea and the sky and me here
Sometimes you may want to run away
But morning always comes
So we dream of tomorrow
as we walk, we walk
The memories of that summer fade with the scenery
Even if I pray don't disappear, don't disappear
Memories pop like soap bubbles

If I close my eyes, everyone's there
If I prick my ears, I can hear them laughing
Like I can reach out my hand and touch them
But when I open my eyes, I'm all alone
Sometimes nostalgia and emptiness twist my heart up
But I still dream, I still walk
Along with this scenery
The memories of that summer fade
Even if I pray don't disappear, don't disappear
Memories pop like soap bubbles so
I'll keep on singing here so I don't ever forget
Can you hear me?

If you can hear this song
I wonder if we can laugh together like back then
Just fool around like we did then
Telling stupid jokes

Memories pop like soap bubbles so
So I don't ever forget, so I don't ever forget, I'll sing

Thanx Givin' Day

Thanks mom
for the hot meals
I'm really really grateful to you
But you know, mom
Don't get mad if sometimes I can't eat it all

Sorry dad
For being selfish
And making you worry and stress
But you know, dad
When I grow up I wanna be like you so just wait

Thanks for all your hard work again
I know you're always working 'till late at night
But you know, it's okay for you to take it easy sometimes, mom and dad
Take care of yourselves
And take care of each other

Thanx Givin’ Day

I just finished reading all this, and I really don't want to say it for the purpouse of petting your ego or sounding fake but...wow. You have the best translations of Miyavi I ever read. They are so personal and so well phrased, I really can't say enough and I've been reading most of your translations lately. Absolutely incredible work, please please keep it on.
I hope I'm not too noisy but for how long have you been studying??

[identity profile] oritsu-luv.livejournal.com 2008-05-29 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Thanks so much. It means a lot to me, actually, because while I do these translations out of love, they do take time, so it's really nice to be appreciated. It's funny, I'm pretty new in the fandom - I'd been a casual fan, but the SF show completely converted me - but it seems like there really isn't a lot of actual interview translations out there, which surprised me. I'm glad that I can help people out this way - so far, all the fans seem to be super nice, it seems like a very welcoming community, which is awesome.

I've been studying for...over ten years now, wow. I actually moonlight as a professional translator, so I'm glad to hear you say you like my translations! LOL

[identity profile] god-ofshadows.livejournal.com 2008-05-29 07:02 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, I actually thought you should have a lot of experience ( I am just in my second year of study, but I am in love with this language, further than just my fandom <3)
CoMiyavi-chan are usually sweet with small exceptions and I know, the lack of interview translations got me so frustrated over and over again. I don't care to be mean with anyone but your translations just personaly touched my heart, I can quite clearly see the experience.

Ow and I just finished reading exactly how you were converted. It's my turn to say it touched my heart, it means so much to read how wonderful he was from someone that looked at it from an objective point of view. I am going to see him in 5 concerts in Europe, and I am really incredibly happy you gave me the oportunity to get to know him even better right before that.

Personally, I promise I'm a close watcher of your translations if you chose to do more

[identity profile] oritsu-luv.livejournal.com 2008-05-29 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Aw, thanks! I only wish I'd known about Miyavi before, so I could have gone to both shows! The neat thing is that my roommate who went to the concert with me is now a big Miyavi fan as well, and she doesn't know Japanese, or even listen to J-rock. It just goes to show how music (and Miyavi) can cross over borders like that.

Wow, 5 concerts? I'd say you're lucky, but instead I'm going to say have fun for me too!

I think I'm going to add a Miyavi tag to my journal to make it easier for people like you who wander over from miyavi_dears to find the translations on my journal. (Because the comm does take a few days for a post to go through some times)

[identity profile] god-ofshadows.livejournal.com 2008-05-29 09:46 pm (UTC)(link)
Like I told you before I'd love to repost your translations on the MyvProject forum (http://myvproject.forumfree.net/?t=27670893&st=0#entry234279634) -http://myvproject.forumfree.net/?t=28415492 -> this is the place where I posted, but I think most of them already read that one on Miyabi_dear ( it's a fanproject for Europe forum, not all that big but I know people over there will adore your translations and interviews, even if they seem to be in a semi hybernating state this days.)
As for your room-mate that's wonderful to hear. Miyavi really excedes all boundries and gener's I know I might be slightly subjective but I find it rather hard to think someone could walk away from his show unimpressed. Where else can you see it after all?
