Tsubaki Factory - Seishun Manmannaka!

 Song: Seishun Manmannaka!
Translation: The Midst Of My Youth
 Artist: Tsubaki Factory

English Lyrics:

You can’t find a reason to live
written down in a textbook
Nor can you just buy a comfortable life at the convenience store

The hard time I’m facing alone
Is the same one everyone faces
While I was figuring out who I want to be
I suddenly noticed your tears

What kind of person can I become?
I can’t be a circle or a square, I have to be me
I have a dream, though I don’t know exactly what it is yet…
Someday I’ll definitely understand
I have faith in the midst of my youth!

Imitating people, competing against people
It’s not that I’m trying to act grown up
It’s just that I’m trying to hurry and find myself  but it always seems to be fruitless effort

I’m always looking at my cell phone after school
I’ve practically forgotten the color of the sky
Since I’m not good at expressing my thoughts
I end up just talking with my hands

What kind of person can I become?
Since I’m emotional, I don’t want to wear make-up
If you ever were to fall apart
I’ll carefully put you back together with these hands
I’ll make it past the midst of my youth!

What kind of person can I become?
I can’t be a circle or a square, I have to be me
I have a dream, though I don’t know exactly what it is yet…
Someday I’ll definitely understand
I have faith in the midst of my youth!

English Lyrics:

Let's communicate honestly

Let's have fun

You absolutely

Won't let go of that hand

Your heart is big

You forgive and are forgiven

No matter who you meet

You become friends with them

You're going a great distance

From us, however

We aren't worried

We know you can do it

We still love you

Won't we always be friends

Even if we grow old

And our hair turns grey

You can always be kind

Won't we always be friends

Even if time can be strict and scolding

HELLO HELLO

So let's Begin!

HELLO HELLO

So let's Begin!

Let's communicate with a smile

Let's be kind

I I'm always here for you

That won't change

Since everyone makes

Countless mistakes

From here, without stopping

Let's recover

I feel a pain in my chest

Like first love

However, I won't run away

This is evidence of living

Having come to understand each other means

We should always be friends

From the beginning, everything

Has to work out eventually

Believe in yourself

Experience fate

It seems you can't quite swallow time's flow

HELLO HELLO

So let's Begin!

HELLO HELLO

So let's Begin!

We still love you

Won't we always be friends

Even if we grow old

And our hair turns grey

You can always be kind

Won't we always be friends

Even if time can be strict and scolding

Having come to understand each other means

We should always be friends

From the beginning, everything

Has to work out eventually

Believe in yourself

Experience fate

It seems you can't quite swallow time's flow

HELLO HELLO

So let's Begin!

HELLO HELLO

So let's Begin!

Morning Musume - Yamete yo! Sindbad

 Song: Yamete yo! Sindbad
Translation: Stop it! Sindbad
 Artist: Morning Musume

Note: This is a translation I did a long time ago, it's been updated slightly to fix any mistakes I could see.

English Lyrics:

Stop it Sindbad

Stop it Sindbad

Stop it  Stop it

You do nothing but brag

Ah, I've grown tired of it

"Hey, back in the good old days..."

How many times have I heard that? I'm not interested

I like ice cream

It will melt, don't you think you've said enough?

Stop preaching and eat

The same story over and over again

You add in dirty jokes endlessly

Time passing is a quick thing

Give me back my youth

The one who knows the most says the least

Is what they often said in the past

Stop it Sindbad

Stop it Sindbad

Stop it  Stop it

"Today I'll be brief for sure"

What a lie that is!

It seems this will go on through

The start of the athletic event tomorrow

I don't want to get a suntan

The sun and it's scorching heat

Burns my skin easily

Telling jokes and laughing at them by yourself

You scare away everyone on the whole lot

Right now could be once-in-a-lifetime encounter

Give me back my youth

A dog’s bark is worse than it’s bite

Is what they often said in the past

Stop it Sindbad

Stop it Sindbad

Stop it  Stop it

The same story over and over again

You add in dirty jokes endlessly

Time passing is a quick thing

Give me back my youth

The one who knows the most says the least

Is what they often said in the past

Telling jokes and laughing at them by yourself

You scare away everyone on the whole lot

Right now could be once-in-a-lifetime encounter

Give me back my youth

A dog’s bark is worse than it’s bite

Is what they often said in the past

Stop it Sindbad

Stop it Sindbad

Stop it  Stop it

Abe Natsmi - Yuugure Sakusen Kaigi

 Song: Yuugure Sakusen Kaigi
Translation: Evening Strategy Meeting
 Artist: Abe Natsumi

Note: This is a translation I did a long time ago, it's been updated slightly to fix any mistakes I could see.

English Lyrics:

There was an urgent strategy meeting

At the evening Cafe

With all of my friends together, 

talking about

 this and that

 

Saying things like "It's that person's fault"

And like "just forget it!"

Then the topic went on to how

"Love is 50:50"

Why did you

leave me?

I want to be together with you

In front of everyone else

I joke around

So I won't look like

I have any regrets or anything

The truth is I'm fine,

Even if I'm sad

They make me smile

Because they're such good friends

Night, at the pub

there was the final strategy meeting

With all of my friends together,

going on about

meaningless things

More than a meeting

This is totally a party

Even though it feels like that

this is also a form of love, isn't it?

I wonder what I should do?

I can't get you off my mind

It should be enough that you're doing well, but

I shouldn't cry

In front of everyone

But while thinking about you,

The tears welled up inside of me escaped

Then everyone

cried together

We made each other smile

Thank you for being such good friends

In front of everyone else

I joke around

So I won't look like

I have any regrets or anything

The truth is I'm fine,

Even if I'm sad

They make me smile

Because they're such good friends

 

I shouldn't cry

In front of everyone

But while thinking about you,

The tears welled up inside of me escaped

Then everyone

cried together

We made each other smile

Thank you for being such good friends

Morning Musume - Silver no Udedokei

 Song: Silver no Udedokei
Translation: The Silver Watch
 Artist: Niigaki Risa, Tanaka Reina, Mitsui Aika, and Sayashi Riho (Morning Musume)

Note: This is a translation I did a long time ago, it's been updated slightly to fix any mistakes I could see.

English Lyrics:

I don't need sad songs right now

Because I can't get in that mood

To love, Ah, and to be loved

Even though I wished to stay like this forever

I can't hear that kind voice now

Because various scenes are coming to mind

I take an honest look at these visions

and I pity that immature me

Hey Hey Girl

As it is, nothing will start if you're hanging your head like that

I want to see your usual smile

If it's you, your next encounter will come soon

 So KISS THE SKY the world is vast

Step out with those feet and Make your future

 Come now, you are as you are now, that's so you

So let's start anew

Returning home after going to the beach, my first kiss

When the sudden evening shower got my shirt wet and we ran to a train station for shelter

The scenery of the familiar landscape brightens, even the recollection of that day

Like the heroine of a tragedy

Whose cloudy sky wasn't clearing up…

The tears overflowed Don’t cry, Dry ya eyes…

I cried in the train

I don't care if I get laughed at

It seems anyone would worry seeing me

The watch you gave to me on my birthday

Shows the time ticking away today too

If only it had stopped already

Like the beautiful memories

I don't need any more lonely nights

Because I don't need anything except you

Will such a day ever come

I can't even imagine such a thing

One love finished silently

As the seasons passes, what have you gained?

 Only a larger number of flowing tears and sleepless nights

You've definitely become strong

 So KISS THE SKY the world is vast

Partings and meetings will repeat endlessly

Become a you that's more like you than today

You can let your radiance shine anew

I got off at the wrong station for our house

Talking on the phone until I'm practically asleep

When nights come that you become alone, you'll remember that person

"It was all just a bad dream" you'll wish,

and yet, you can't sleep again tonight…

I'm just going round and round, aren't I? Don’t cry, Dry ya eyes…

I cry all by myself

I cry if I look at photos

My friends are also surely worried about me

I was really happy

 In those warm arms

Ah I'll occasionally wonder

what you're doing about now, wont I?

I cry all by myself

I cry if I look at photos

My friends are also surely worried about me

I was really happy

 In those warm arms, I was an idiot

I cried in the train

I don't care if I get laughed at

It seems anyone would worry seeing me

The watch you gave to me on my birthday

Shows the time ticking away today too

If only it had stopped already

Like the beautiful memories
