I think somebody on Moletown found a translation of tsuyogari, so I'm sure if you scour the net a bit you could find one, but I'll probably take a shot at it eventually since I like the song.

Took about fifteen seconds to find.

the pillows changed their name to Mr. Children?

Lurk more? I'd assume that if I were looking for the lyrics to a cover song, I'd search for it on a site other than the fansite of the band that covered it. tsuyogari is a Mr. Children cover. Where have you been?

I guess. Although I've been lurking here for over a year... And I've never heard of Mr. Children. I guess I should probably check them out.

They're wildly popular in Japan, but are as far to the pop end of pop-rock as you can get.

Can anyone translate Kimi to boku to Otsukisama???

Look it up in the lyrics section,
under (or is it below?) "turn back (2004)"

Spoiler: they're kinda depressing

I tried that, I didn't find anything related to that. If you can link me to that thread that would be great. I can't find it anywhere.

I think there is a slight misunderstanding here.
I meant the lyric section of pirouzu.net , not the forum.
(in the upperside of the page)
I can't link, because if you go there it still says: "pirouzu.net."

Me and you and Mr. Moon

'The moon is so beautiful tonight' you said
On the other end of the phone
But I can't find my glasses
So my eyes can't see it so bright

This has happened so many times before
Even though we look at the same thing
I see something different than everyone else
Something different

But I want to see the same thing you look at now
If I'd just hold my tongue, if I could just stop- that's what I'll do

'The moon is so beautiful tonight' you said
On the other end of the phone
From my window, from your window
Even though it should be the same, the scenery is different

This has happened so many times before
Even though we look at the same thing
I see something different than everyone else
Something different

But I want to see the same thing you look at now
If I'd just hold my tongue, if I could just stop- that's what I'll do

I want you to know, I want you to understand
I don't want to lie, and yet I'm raising my voice
So I'll be alone again, I won't be able to sleep
But can I really say that's all right?

So then, I just want to keep dreaming
The same dream with you, just like this
If I'd just hold my tongue, if I could just stop- that's what I'll do

Thanks Ashinow, and yeah I thought you meant the forum lyrics section

On the lyrics section of pirouzu.net proper... there is a line in trip dancer:
[i]Tadori tsuita darekaga nokoshitte itta hata ni
Muragaru nante gehin na shikitari sa[/i]

The translation in English that is given is:
[i]To flock around the flag that someone who has found his way has left is a disgusting custom [/i]

The translation seems a bit odd... what do you guys think?
And any idea what Sawao could have meant with this line?

He's saying "It's a pathetic tradition, flocking to the flags left behind by those who made it."

Once again, Sawao saying "choose your own damn path, don't try to imitate others to find yourself."

He's my hero!... and I am gonna cover a song of his....that's a bit like imitating the pillows... how ironic, haha.

Sawao throws references to musicians he loves into his work all the time and has played covers in the past. No irony in being true to yourself and expressing your gratitude towards a band by covering their work.
