Post Spiky Seeds (Japanese and romanization)
(Update) I've added the full lyrics and romanized them. They come from the booklet, so they are accurate. I'll leave up the "TV size" versions. My transcriptions were surprisingly accurate on those, but I've changed a couple things (I had a kanji wrong in "生誕成長", and I've updated the mystery "親愛なる ???" text).

Alright, folks. This one has been in demand, being the ending of the current FLCL series, and all. I gave a shot at transcribing the lyrics from the TV ending version and the teaser trailer.
A word of cation: this transcription is as heard by non-native ears. There's a high possibility that some of these lyrics may be wrong. Please don't regurgitate these all over the internet until we have conformation.

The lyrics in this one are quite abstract, so it's a bit difficult to piece together. I'm not sure what he says after "shinainaru". I have some ideas, but nothing that I am comfortable with posting. I have seen a couple different transcriptions of the chorus from the teaser, and there seem to be a few different interpretations. A lot of people seem convinced that the lyric is "Century BAND", but I think that "century plant" (or "sentry plant") makes a lot more sense. I have also seen "boy! boy! boy! spiky seeds", but think "reborn" or "born" makes more sense in this context.
If anyone has any input, please post. :bow:
A translation may also come eventually... maybe. Probably not.
