7. Independent Love Song

I stand alone in a white night
I draw you in the middle of the silence
This pain in my chest that won’t disappear
together with the words and tears of that day

I can’t clash with you
I acted my ideal me
Without noticing the spreading distance
I began creating invisible walls

Can’t say, I can’t say it
The boiling loveliness is growing stronger
Cloudy, I continue to loiter
The moonlight also locks itself to a deep place

Like a fleeting cloud on a water colour painting
it shakes in the interstice of the present and an illusion
My guesses and imaginations expand too much
I let my film of doubt stretch around

When the times we can’t meet increase
knock over the hard wedge
They won’t move, our two hearts
I even started to forget warmth

Flow out, in the overwhelming wave
The pure feelings also being swept away
Stay out, no matter how much I scream
The passing days won’t come back

Your existence was big
and feared the things you would lose
without being entranced by the shadows born in the darkness
From now on, I will definitely face them

Set free, uncontrollable
The boiling loveliness is overflowing
Brightly, being illuminated by the moon
The thread that was tying us together is coming undone
It’s like enveloping a transparent light…

Lyrics: Yabuki Toshiro
Music: Ohira Tsutomu

6. Soyokaze ni Fukarete…

A rendezvous at a fancy café, I arrived a bit early
I came on time, it seems like something will be born

I act indifferently to the you who waves at me from the other side of the glass
Like a child, I wanted to let you see my lonely face

Those eyes are not a game, they softly bind us together
The setting sun reflected on your face gives off a nice feeling
It gracefully paints your cheeks

The winter wind carried our love, it suits us
A sudden feeling of shyness is natural, surely you are the same?

The beat of the heart-throbbing melody we heard is beating fast
It’s a secret to everyone, I won’t lose to the winter sky I want to warm

So that I will tightly hug the chest of the you who is in front of me
You say the promise to meet again

This heart is not a game, surely I am the first
That’s why if you can watch over me closely, even until the island of light
I will brilliantly cross the sky

The gentle wind envelops us, I will wait
Dazzling dreams, like overflowing waves, can always come true

The winter wind carried our love, it suits us
A sudden feeling of shyness is natural, surely you are the same?

The gentle wind envelops us, I will wait
Dazzling dreams, like overflowing waves, can always come true

5. Tears’ Night

The winter night where we strongly, strongly embraced
we exchanged our hidden feelings

When I hear your voice
somehow it’s so painful
My trembling voice is not just
caused by the cold

‘Hey, where are you?’
I longed for love I couldn’t hide anymore

If you will come to meet me tonight
It’s okay to show me the whole of your heart
Please, please embrace me
I closed my warm eyelids to pray
in the tears’ night where I repeated your name

Do you remember that day?
Our ring fingers connected
On the way home where nobody was around
What kind of face did you make?

‘Hey, tell me’
I can’t make a strategy right now

I want to get to know my own you better
I want you to show me the whole of your heart
Please, please assent
I looked up at the starlight that’s beginning to shine at the other side of the darkness
so that my tears won’t flow

Time, stop time
Wish, something you wish for
Miss you, let’s go together
Fly, to the joy that frees us from heartache

Connecting our hearts properly without letting go
I want to be the me that is yours alone
I’ll definitely, definitely treasure you
Our white breath fuses, fuses, overlaps and we kiss

The winter night where we strongly, strongly embraced
We exchanged our certain feelings
Please, always be by my side
I closed my warm eyelids to pray
in the tears’ night where I repeated your name

Lyrics: Yabuki Toshiro
Music: Ohira Tsutomu

4. Daisuki na Kimi he…

On Christmas I walk through the shining town with a flower bouquet
Because I was the only one getting embarrassed, I went away for a bit

On my birthday, too, I was shy and couldn’t let my happiness out
even though you celebrated with me with a smile that no one could win against

What should I do this year’s winter?
Even if there’s only me thinking, nothing comes to mind…

For example, if I would fall in love with someone who really looks like you
it would repeat itself when I express my bad habits
It looks like I would get scolded by you as always ‘if I studied just a bit’
I tried to strain my ears but not being talked to is lonely

I put up an umbrella I bought recently and try walking to a vacant land
If I can climb that hill, the memories with you can come out crying

Although I don’t have any grudge against the couple that passed by
I hate myself for wishing for their ending

Maybe it ended with the liking that I heard of
in learning about love after the liking

Now I am sick of the everyday life that’s always the same
I miss you melancholically and even love your events
Because it can’t be helped I roll up my sleeves and search for a person to love
Will I able to increase lots of happiness so that I can take great pride in you?

For example, if I would fall in love with someone who really looks like you
it would repeat itself when I express my bad habits
It looks like I would get scolded by you as always ‘if I studied just a bit’
The one meeting you isn’t me, I become sad because I don’t know right now

Lyrics: Mizuki Nana

3. Fake Angel

I open my eyes in the dead of night
and touch my wet eyelashes
I also feared the fact
that I cried in my unconsciousness

Please give more love
to me who is struggling in the stream of absurdity

Take me away to a free world
Set fire to the energy sleeping in boredom
I don’t need words of routine
What I want is warmth
I am yearning for passion

I harden my circuit
in fake gentleness
Can’t I bury this
non-stopping loneliness anymore?

Like a machine that produced screws
please softly give me more dreams

Throw away your grey mask
Flexibly flap your wings, jump upon the back of time
Embrace it and float on the lassitude
The parts rusted together
before they disappear into the mist

Slip through the wall cunningly and wise
You can’t turn into a clown
We’re being controlled by the outside alone
I want to cross the morning I can’t see

Take me away to a free world
Set fire to the energy sleeping in boredom
I don’t need words of routine
What I want is warmth
I am yearning for passion

Oh! Will you still love me?
I’ve been waiting for your true heart

Lyrics: Yabuki Toshiro

1. Miracle☆Flight

If I looked at all the people that go back and forth under the blue sky
They have great burdens, gloomy faces and sweat

It’s too tiring! Everyone’s alike
Can you do it without pulling out too much power?

Let’s go on a long trip to the wide universe
The thrilling sand on Mars! Let’s embrace it!
Restore what you cried about in the past into only memories
so that even God won’t know
It’s so exciting, let’s have sweet dreams

I realised that the dirtied air that becomes beautiful touched by the greenery
is not big-talk after all

You can be reborn! Doesn’t everyone know?
It’s a bit serious, but are you ready?

Let’s go on a trip wearing the same clothes
We’re also taking the people with us that are troubled by stress
It would be good if someday we could become carefree as we laugh
Let’s build a bridge of miracles and stars of flowing tears and leap over it

Well then, everyone! Let’s all quickly go on a trip together!
You can pick up the sand on Mars! The shining future
Restore what you cried about in the past into only memories
so that even God doesn’t know
It’s so exciting, let’s have sweet dreams

Let’s be cheerful and go on a trip!

😀 😀 😀 😀 I am a super fan of Nana Mizuki!!! For those who don’t know her, she is a Japanese voice actor/singer who is really famous in Japan. She has been singing from a really early age on, taking lessons from her father who was a karaoke expert. She has been participating in karaoke and various other singing contests which made her a local celebrity where she was from. Then she went to high school in Tokyo, something she had dreamt of. She wanted to become an enka singer (traditional Japanese ballad) and worked really hard for her debut at Horikoshi High (a prestiguous school that brought about lots of famous people in the entertainment business, actors, idols, singers and seiyuu). After 10 years of singing, Nana Mizuki released an autobiography, ‘Shin Ai’, which I am currently reading and (trying to) translate.

For some interviews that I’ve translated, please look here.
