-----------------------------------------------------

The crying children and women seeking forgiveness
The men who fell behind and even the elders who've used up their strength
Are all alone in burnt-up fields, alone looking up at the sky
Alone in the howling wind, biting their lips

The robotic puppets thrust their guns forth
but it isn't just money and politics that move the world
Even if we're put at the cliff's edge, or bound hand and foot
Even if we're hung up on the cross, our answer's the same

NO! NO! Go ahead and shoot me through the chest
NO! NO! As if that would kill my spirit

Stand up and go!
Just a resistance
Stand up and go!
Show us your resistance

Are people born already burdened with sin?
I wonder why they drown in endless desire
Did you intend to live your whole life with a hand on the bible?
All those guys who pretended not to notice are sinners, just like me

NO! NO! Amidst all this ugly friction
NO! NO! We wore down until our blood spilled out

Stand up and go!
Just a resistance
Stand up and go!
Show us your resistance

If there's anyone that disturbs the flow of the program
they'll probably hold them down, tie them up and lock them away
But I wonder who's actually in the right here
Aren't you all who hide the buttons away the madmen?

NO! NO! I'm not afraid of your judgment
NO! NO! As if you can put an end to my shouting

Stand up and go!
Just a resistance
Stand up and go!
Show us your resistance

Alone in a burnt-up field, alone looking up at the sky
Alone in the howling wind
Still biting my lip even now

02 - yume no you na yakusoku wa...

you see, sunrise sunset
nothing's gonna change

kimi wa boku no tonari ni kanarazu iru to

you see, sunrise sunset
but i'll never forget you...

-----------------------------------------------------

You see, sunrise sunset
nothing's gonna change

I believed that you would surely
stay beside me, but now you're not
It sure is nice, in the dramas
how they can end things with an embrace
but we weren't like that

Our dreamlike promise
lost its meaning so easily
like a channel being changed
and became just another memory

You see, sunrise sunset
nothing's gonna change

We surely began to change
in a time already long past
That's probably it
We definitely hurt each other
but if we were to meet, I'd be able to forgive it
You probably would, too

Even if we saw each other in town
we'd just wave and pass on by
Even though you were so important once
now you've become just another friend

You see, sunrise sunset
nothing's gonna change
You see, sunrise sunset
but I’ll never forget you...

-----------------------------------------------------

Growing up in this dead-end town I'm like a wind-up doll
Even when emotionally pressed until my heart seemed it would burst
the expectations just keep piling up

I don't even want to notice my mistakes
but I'm sick of running, so I'll crush all these things I can't swallow
It's better to be soaked in self-indulgence than be afraid

Razorlike Blue, I want to become a sharpened blaze of blue light
Razorlike Blue, if we're to hurt each other let's do so brilliantly

I can't stand rotting away beneath a suddenly leaden cloudy sky
but it's not like a clear blue sky would befit me anyway
I just put on my makeup, a useless gesture

Razorlike Blue, I want to become a sharpened blaze of blue light
Razorlike Blue, if we're to hurt each other let's do so brilliantly

-----------------------------------------------------

On a brickwork corner dimly lit by a gas streetlamp
Amidst fog that makes you seem to float, I make my stage
The people waiting for buses back from work come and squat down
Amidst their applause, I hide my embarrassment away from them

I'm this city's cheerful clown
Once again tonight I'll gather up everyone's tears

Everyone laugh, as I perform my pantomime
As I play the fool in my white makeup
Forget your sorrows for now
and laugh at my acting

A child is crying alone, clutching his knees to himself in tears
I wonder what I can say to dry up his tears and make him smile
I don't mind being called upon any time they're sad
it just wouldn't do to let them be overwhelmed by painful things

I'm this city's cheerful clown
Once again tonight I'll go around dressing everyone's wounds

Pantomime, pantomime
There's no need for words
Pantomime, pantomime

But only a passing shooting star
and the moon above
were watching me

How do you actually romanized it? It was very hard for me to that.

Yay. Thanks Mare.

no prob.

i use jwpce and my kanji dict. it helps with romanizing A LOT, as it's way more comprehensive than my kanji dictionary. there are some things that frustrate me because they'll be in the dictionary and the song but not the JWPce dictionary, but such is life.

when i get some time (i'm working 5-9 evenings now ) i'll do energy. it shouldn't take more than twenty minutes...there's like eight lines or so (lol).

thanks alot mare, teach me some oneday

well, just memorize hiragana and katakana, and then look up the kanji in the dictionary. and you check by listening to the song.

hmmm.....
no? i think i would do better off just creating ear-heard lyrics for myself.
still. if i have any free time over my winter break i might jsut try that.

lyrics by ear only work (to an EXTENT, mind you) if you know japanese fluently. so it doesn't really work. it's better to romanize from the kanji lyrics, especially if you're trying to learn japanese. i've learned probably a fourth of all the kanji i know from romanizing lyrics.

until i know japanese, i cna ear-hear my lyrics jsut so i get eh sylables right when i sing, but after then its defintetly romanization time (free lessons?)

finally! here's the last one:

05 - ENERUGII

jitto damatteirarenakatta
mune no furue wa ima mo tomaranai yo

ichi ni tsuiteita wake ja nai no ni
SUTAATO SAIN no oto ni hashirihajimeteshimatta

Energy! Energy!...

Energy! Energy!...

SUTAATO SAIN no oto ni hashirihajimeteshimatta

Energy! Energy!...

-----------------------------------------------------

I couldn't just stay quiet
This trembling in my chest still won't stop

Even though I wasn't really in position yet
At the starting signal, I took off running

Energy! Energy!

Spinning endlessly, there were times
where I just couldn't tell what was what

When I finally recovered, it was still there
that courage beating along with my pulse

Energy! Energy!

::Level 5 Rez::

Something I've been wondering about for a good while now...Why isn't "Energy" katakana'd "ENERUJII" instead of "ENERUGII"?

'cause that's how they roll in Jay-pan.
