Red Velvet – SAPPY 

[MV Subbed / Translation]

Do As Infinity - We are.  [MV Subbed / Translation]

We were born among the thousands of stars The miracle of meeting you

All those dreams I had so long ago I believed each one when I was a child I want to see you again But I’ll never meet you again

I remember those freezing cold nights Wishing on stars and making promises We were born among the thousands of stars The miracle of meeting you Is something only the two of us share

If I wake up and it was all a dream It will still live on inside my heart I have to tell you, no matter what I want to let you know one more time

What town is the star we wished on watching over tonight? The history Of another quiet night passes by The time we share together Is the greatest treasure

The world spins round and round But somewhere in the corners of the earth Just know there’s always someone waiting.…for you

I think back and gaze into my heart I paint the dreams I’d almost forgotten Some how I came across you in this world On that sacred night you came to me

I remember those freezing cold nights Wishing on stars and making promises We were born among the thousands of stars The miracle of meeting you Is something we share

We need the holy light Waiting for the silent night

We need the holy light Waiting for the silent night

Mai Yamane - Tasogare [Translation]

Way Back Wednesday! - 1980

Does her voice sound familiar? She sang the ending theme for the Cowboy Bebop series.

[English]

Can you not see the me that will always be by your side? You left behind a little warmth inside my heart

I told you that being tender without reason is impossible With words, I can fake it in so many ways

Somehow, I managed to pull it off well Up until now I want to try it again For just a little longer Trust in me

Looking back, even just once I don’t want to do such a thing again If you would just smile And send me off

It’s too late to turn back It’s already been spoiled He’s setting off on his journey My heart is exposed to the cold wind

Somehow, I managed to pull it off well Up until now I want to try it again For just a little longer Trust in me

いつだって そばにいる 俺が見えないのか 胸の中温もりを　残しておいた

訳もなく優しくは　できない と言っただろう 言葉などなんとでも　言い繕える

なんとか　うまくやれたよ こうして 今まで もう一度　かけてみようぜ 本の少しだけ 俺を信じて

一度でも　振り返る そんな真似したくない お前なら 笑って 見送ってくれ

今さら　戻れないのさ しらけてしまうよ 男は旅に 出てゆく 冷たい風に　心をさらし

なんとか　うまくやれたよ こうして 今まで もう一度　かけてみようぜ 本の少しだけ 俺を信じて

Tohoshinki / TVXQ! - Jealous 

[MV Subbed / Translation]

When I see you, fire, I cannot escape Man is a loser, I can’t handle you

I keep telling myself over and over again That I don’t love you anymore, but

I’m jealous of myself (When I’m next to you…) I’m jealous of myself (You satisfy my everything) I say I don’t love you anymore But somehow that makes me want to cry? Yeah I’m jealous of myself, the pain makes me agitated I’m jealous of myself, just being next to you

Hanging my head at midnight, I’m the red moon Watching my moonlight in silence

Only you keep my shining, you’re my sun Without your light I would be just a stone, yeah

I’m jealous of myself (When I’m next to you…) I’m jealous of myself (I want to destroy everything) I say I don’t love you anymore But somehow that makes me want to cry? Yeah I’m jealous of myself, the pain makes me agitated I’m jealous of myself, just being next to you

Jealous I'm jealous I'm jealous of myself

I keep telling myself over and over again That I don’t love you anymore, but

I’m jealous of myself (When I’m next to you…) I’m jealous of myself (You satisfy my everything) I’m jealous of myself, the pain makes me agitated I’m jealous of myself, just being next to you I’m jealous of myself, when I’m next to you… I’m jealous of myself, just being next to you I'm jealous

Ayumi Hamasaki - Rule 

[MV Subbed / Translation]

Theme song for Dragonball Evolution (2009)

I don’t need the rules Decided by someone else Because we are the rules We won’t yield on that

They ask where the hell is hope In a generation like this?

They ask how can we believe in things We can’t touch or see?

I just silently nod my head And calmly close my eyes

But there is indeed Something that is connecting us Because I can feel it clearly

I don’t need the rules Decided by someone else Because we are the rules We won’t yield on that

There are still places left in this world That haven’t been abandoned yet

No matter how scary it gets It’s worth it to believe in someone

We’ll take in a deep breath And let out a loud cry

But all of this wasn’t by chance It was inevitable That’s what you taught me that day

Their typical dull rules I don’t like being forced Let’s first start, you and me By breaking the rules

The strong become more gentle The gentle become stronger In a moment it changed for me I felt like there was nothing To be afraid of anymore

I don’t need the rules Decided by someone else Because we are the rules We won’t yield on that

Their typical dull rules I don’t like being forced Let’s first start, you and me By breaking the rules

LiSA - ADAMAS 

[TV Size MV Subbed / Translation]

Sword Art Online: Alicization Opening Theme

We grew tired of fulfilling our duty Caught in the bitter darkness and a whirlpool of work Beginnings always bring loneliness

Surrounded on all sides? Then tear down the walls! Wind not blowing your way? Then stir it up! Pay attention to the pulsating of the speeding magma Then make your way forward  

The grinning Grim Reaper calling out to me: “Do you believe yourself?” So I’ve begun. I want to see the glory of the goal!

Shiny sword my diamond A crystallization of my sorrows and desires We declare our duty, each heading for our own light I’ve made it to today by picking myself up again and again It’s time! A single prayer is evidence of a revolution Now shine!

BUMP OF CHICKEN - Sirius [MV Sub / Translation]

Juushinki Pandora Opening Theme

Didn’t we make a promise…sometime in a far away place… When they’ve forgotten your name, the light won’t burn out

Grasp the spinning planets like you’d take a breath Steer yourself forward with all your might

In the depths of despair, there’s hope at very bottom Clear thoughts will be your sword and shield

Whose story is this? How did this world begin? You’ve survived this long, answer with your life Decide with your heart, shout with your voice Don’t let go of what you wanted the most

At last…At last…I finally found it. Clearly…clearly…I heard it loud and clear.

The freedom had snatched my way home I waited a while for the greeting that likely wouldn’t come

It felt faint when I touched it, but I know it was there That radiating heat is the only thing pointing the way

Losing your reason, meaning, worth What are you looking for in front of the mirror?

Close the distance, come on, come here No matter how timid, we’re greedy creatures Decide with your heart, shout with your voice Don’t let go of what you wanted the most

Those memories are disappearing behind us The things we’ve gather are crumbling to sand The everlasting light we felt with our fingertips Didn’t we make a promise…sometime in a far away place…

In the depths of despair, there’s hope at very bottom I’ll give you courage when you face the mirror, your sword and shield

Who’s story is this? How did this world begin? You’ve survived this long, answer with your life Decide with your heart, shout with your voice And when you’ve forgotten my name, you can call on me anytime

Close the distance, come on, come here The gaze of Sirius, we’re greedy creatures Whose story is this? How did this world begin? Don’t let go of what you wanted the most

At last…At last…I finally found it. Clearly…clearly…I heard it loud and clear. From somewhere, for some time I’ve returned home. Welcome back.

Mirei Touyama - Dear My Boo [MV Subbed]

Shimizu Shouta - “My Boo” Answer Song

Now way it could last, he’ll soon say bye bye That’s what I thought, but I wished for eternity Different colored T shirts, but matching shy smiles Making memories together

I was afraid of losing you So I ran away from love But the straight-forward feelings you gave me Gave me the courage to face it

My boo Don’t you go anywhere Don’t touch anyone else Cause I’m right here, Cause I’m by your side Hey boo I’m so happy If it’s for you then I can be your Jasmine I’m too embarrassed to ever say it, but… I love you

Let’s wait for the next bus Taking the long way home Holding hands in your pocket When we walk side-by-side it’s no longer cold To your left is where I belong Now and forever

Whenever I’m next to you I’m too shy to ever say it How much I like you, now I want you to hear it Don’t laugh, just listen close when I say…

My boo Don’t you go anywhere Don’t touch anyone else Cause I’m right here, Cause I’m by your side Hey boo I’m so happy If it’s for you then I can be your Jasmine I’m too embarrassed to ever say it, but… I love you

Little misunderstandings turn into big fights Without even thinking I spit out words like “Let’s break up” But still I love you, I’m just clumsy No matter how painful it gets I want to be by your side

My boo You don’t have to say anything Just hug me when you get home Cause from today I will always support you Hey boo I’m so happy That you found me, thank you When you’re sleeping, when you’re down, when you’re laughing I’m so in love with you

My boo Don’t you go anywhere Don’t touch anyone else Cause I’m right here, Cause I’m by your side Hey boo I’m so happy If it’s for you then I can be your Jasmine I’m too embarrassed to ever say it, but… I love you

Gfriend - Me Gustas Tu (JPN ver.) 

[MV Sub / Translation]

My heart beats for you, from today it’s you and me I see the dream come true, from today it’s you and me The sunset dies my love red as it catches the breeze To come raining down on you

Me gustas tu gustas tu Sututuru I like you Gustas tu suturu suturu

We are moving too slow (too slow) When will this turn into love? Can’t say a word if all we are is shy Truth is, I want to get close to you

Like petals swept in the wind Don’t know where I’ll land Let’s have courage and confess our love Feelings aren't enough, let's feel each other's heart It’s time you took this Boquet from my heart

It beats for you, from today it’s you and me I see the dream come true, from today it’s you and me The sunset dies my love red as it catches the breeze To come raining down on you

Me gustas tu gustas tu Sututuru I like you Gustas tu suturu suturu

Let’s walk on, but promise me (promise me) You won’t let go of my hand All our memories, remember them well Cherish me even more

Like the clouds blocking the moon I get more impatient every day Let’s have courage and confess our love Feelings aren't enough, let's feel each other's heart It’s time you took this Boquet from my heart

It beats for you, from today it’s you and me I see the dream come true, from today it’s you and me The sunset dies my love red as it catches the breeze To come raining down on you

Let me protect you (let me protect you) Just forever and ever (forever and ever!) Even if you can’t say it, I feel your love Thank you for being there for me

(No no no no no—yeah!) My heart beats for you, from today it’s you and me (today it’s you and me) I see the dream come true, from today it’s you and me (today it’s you and me) The sunset dies my love red as it catches the breeze To come raining down on you

Me gustas tu gustas tu Sututuru I like you Gustas tu suturu suturu

Utada Hikaru - Deep River 

[MV Sub / Translation] (long ver.)

[Prologue] Two mirrors faced each other, Humming as they reflected one another. When I meet someone that resembles me, I will make the same sound.

Children and adults like to look at their reflection in the mirror. While you stare down your reflection, if you forget that it’s only a mirror, The silent space overwhelms you and you remember the emptiness.

I am a mirror. I won’t hold out my hands to those who are stuck In a place that my light can’t reach. Instead, I will place myself as close to them as I can. Then they’ll see what I see.

When pain can be shared with someone else It turns into something good. I know that. It’s not like sadness suddenly disappeared or the world changed overnight, But seeing my world turned upside down really brought a new perspective. Everybody is looking for someone who resembles them. No matter how much you hate yourself, you can love someone who resembles you. There is no love in what we call admiration and adoration. But, what humans love the most in this world Is the one who resembles them most—their child.

I am a child. Because I believe that I’m taking the right path, I don’t Think of everything that I’ve left behind as sacrifices.

The sky closes its eyes.

[Song] As I connect the dots Is the line that my finger draws The path that I’ve taken or the road still ahead

We joined the lines In the end everyone finds their way to the ocean and becomes one So I’m not afraid

Let the countless rivers flow Without paying heed to reason Unlike how freely we accepted our own names We don’t have to accept everything For what it is All of our pain has just flown away

(That’s why I chose you)

We were not given swords To know the sound of them striking together Who can we protect with such contradictions?

Today I am searching for you The one who has changed so much Since you first appeared before my eyes We don’t have to seek acceptance Wherever we go Everyone was bestowed with a blade called individuality

Sometimes changing our course With just the clothes on our backs Unlike how freely we accepted our own names We don’t have to accept everything For what it is We’re just birds taking off into the salty breeze

Junko Ohashi - I Love You So (1984)

Way Back Wednesday! - A city pop gem

A crowded theater, a noisy lobby A face I’ve missed passes by Looking between the clock and the entrance He’s waiting for someone it seems

Won’t you turn around, won’t you realize Even now, I love you so Please give me one more chance

I could see you at tonight’s concert I bring along my courage But I just smoke my cigarette to ash I follow you with my gaze

Won’t you turn around, won’t you realize Listen, I need you so I still see your face wherever I go

Every time I try to make my escape from you It’s raining outside, so I’ll never be able to go home

Run up to me, hold me Listen, I need you so I want you more than anyone else

Won’t you turn around, won’t you realize Even now I love you so Please give me one more chance

Perfume - Let Me Know [Translation]

How could you forget about that little thing That was so important to you? You don’t feel it anymore Before you knew it, the air that surrounded you Was sweet poison—One breath and it’s over. You ride the wind that blows with time You row your oars against the current But somehow the anticipation still gets in the way You’ve been dreaming in an imprisoned amusment park

I will take back that place where only natural spirits can reach I will always be here waiting for you, if you always stay you Hey, tell me

123 Tell me let me know 123 Tell me let me know

The manual for this dream is full of lies Don’t let it fool you, no one would make it that easy No one can teach you, you’re about to become someone So just believe in yourself

I will take back that place where only natural spirits can reach I will always be here waiting for you, if you always stay you Hey, tell me

123 Tell me let me know 123 Tell me let me know

Let me know Let me know
