Hello i want to ask about the song Arigatou no anata ni. I'm vietnamese and my english isn't good enough. I'm so sorry. Ummm, do you mind about this?. I hope not hehe. I only find 1 video on youtube about this song and 1 video cover. I really really love this song but both videos are in japanese name so i can not find it if i use another youtube account or use others device. Can i ask why don't they popularize this song? Like Hontou no oto or Fukurou. And i can't find any informations about this song on google except your blog.Why this happens. Can i know that.And, byeee. I hope to see your reply soon. See you soon

Hello!

I'm so sorry, I didn't get a notification about your message earlier. I hope you haven't been waiting for too long!

That is indeed an obscure song! KOKIA wrote Arigatou o anata ni in 2012, for the 2012 Japan Junior Chamber Summer Conference. It was released as a single, but it was only on their website, not KOKIA's own web shop or in stores. She performed the song at the closing ceremony of the conference in 2012, and possibly a couple of times after that. She hasn't mentioned the song since. Basically, all information I know can be found here on kokiafans. As you can see, it's not a lot.

My guess is that, unlike Hontou no oto and Fukurou, KOKIA wrote this song for someone else, not for release on one of her own albums. She may not have the rights to use it again or to promote it. Or she may not want to, because she feels it was exclusive for that event. As far as I know, we don't have an official explanation, so this is the best I can do.

Hopefully that answers your question at least a little. If you have more questions, please don't hesitate to ask! I'm more likely to see it quicker if you send your question to @kokiafans, as that is my main KOKIA blog.

Hello everyone, and thank you for checking out this blog despite the long hiatus. My sincere apologies for the lack of updates.

I have always intended to keep every entry on this blog lyrics-only, but I’m making one exception now to update you on the current status.

I am not abandoning this side blog, however, I am currently not able to translate more lyrics due to various circumstances. I do have a small backlog, but I haven’t gotten back to it, and updating the blog as I have done before is a lot of work. I am still considering to redo this blog completely (of course without deleting previous entries), but I’m unsure what the best course of action is here. Suggestions are very welcome!

I unfortunately got locked out of editing the pages in the menu, so I cannot update the full song list or discography pages right now. So, in order to reply to requests I have gotten so far:

from 16 - I have translated this song before, but I’m not happy with the result. I will redo this once I can.

octopus -secret mission- - I have attempted to translate this, but the amount of lyrics is very short and I am very unsure if I understood them properly. I will give it another try once I’m able to.

a gift - there are no official lyrics for this song, so I cannot translate it. The same goes for multiple other songs. I have included the list below of songs that have no official lyrics, or are already in English and thus won’t need a translation.

Updated list of songs that are untranslatable, either due to no official lyrics or already being in English (last updated February 26, 2023):

An update to let you know I have regained access to editing the pages, so the page listing every single song is up to date now. I hope to edit the full discography page soon too, but that is a bit more work.

I hope to be able to resume to translating songs again as soon as possible, but I unfortunately can’t give you a time frame for that. Regardless, thank you so much for your patience and understanding!

KOKIA -  歌の向こうでつながってる (’Uta no mukou de tsunagatteru’)

We are connected over the song

A feeling that I can’t put in words Keeps going around, it’s connected to gratitude

I feel that we are connected over a song Imagine it, and see, you’re not alone

Thanks, to you I want to tell you thanks Thanks, to you That’s all I want to say

Putting it into words, that alone Is reassuring, what might it be?

I feel that we are connected over a song And songs come floating up in my heart all the time

It echoes in my heart Thanks, to you That’s what I want to say, because of this moment Thanks, to you

Thanks, to you I want to tell you thanks Thanks, to you That’s all I want to say

It echoes in my heart Thanks, to you That’s what I want to say, because of this moment Thanks, to you

‘We are connected over a song I want you to remember that as you look up to the skies You’re not alone, so Let’s hang in there together, right’

Thanks, to you

* KOKIA performed this song in her 1 to 1 Live for you livestream on April 25, 2020 and included the title above as the official English translation. She uploaded an excerpt from this livestream on her official YouTube channel and included the lyrics in Japanese, which I translated here.

Frog ~wrapped in spring, ribbit~

When spring arrives, everything will be overflowing with light I can hardly wait, wrapped up in this feeling, ribbit, everyone

I wait for spring, it’s fun because you’re here Like the flowers, like the trees reach for the light It would be nice to reach out my hand

Riiibbit, ribbit, riiibit, ribbit, ribbit ribbit ribbit

The spring winds open new doors Overflowing, full of smiles, ribbit, everyone

In the middle of a first meeting, I start dancing Flowing freely like water, like the skies It’d be nice to swim in this world

I wait for spring, it’s fun because you’re here Like the flowers, like the trees reach for the light It would be nice to reach out my hand It’d be nice to swim in this world

Mouse ~good night, kiss~

That shining banana is the moon Mama doesn’t know what it’s for either, but Just gazing at it, just that Makes you feel really happy, right See you tomorrow, good night, ‘kiss’, squeak *

Where do the figures in the sky go What do the different shapes taste like?

The white clouds are floating by Mama doesn’t know what they taste like either, but Just gazing at them, just that Makes you feel really happy, right

‘I love mama a lot!’ ‘Thank you. Mama loves you a lot too’

There’s a banana floating in the sky Why doesn’t the banana fall… ‘Good night’

‘Good night, see you tomorrow’

KOKIA -  カンガルー ～カンガルーポケット～ (’Kangaruu ~kangaruu no poketto’)

Kangaroo ~kangaroo pocket~

Kangaroo pocket, it’s safe Kangaroo pocket, it has mama’s guarantee

Being swung from left to right with mama feels nice This is the safest place in the world We’re doing this only for now, baby

Mama’s waist might break, I’m totally exhausted, that’s enough But just seeing your smile makes me think ‘I can hold on’ just a bit more

These things repeat without you knowing, my baby Big, you’re getting big, but you’ll always be my baby

Kangaroo pocket, it’s safe Kangaroo pocket, it has mama’s guarantee

In the morning, in the afternoon, at night, the middle of the night, lalala, I’ll carry you with me After all, one day you’ll yell, lalala, and you won’t let me carry you anymore

I won’t be lonely… I won’t be happy!

Being swung from left to right with mama feels nice This is the safest place in the world We’re doing this only for now, baby

Right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left Right, left, right, left, right, left, right

KOKIA - アヒルのココロ (’Ahiru no kokoro’)

Heart of a duck *

The ugly duckling was bullied, they called him ‘weird’ He was just a bit unique, is it bad to be different from those around you?

Don’t say that, when you get sad, you set out into the sky

The heart of the duck belongs to no-one He dreamt of spreading his wings and crossing the skies I’m freely flying off into the skies This is the time of me streaking through, slicing the air

Please give the ugly duckling courage, now give the power The ugly duckling is now turning into a swan in this sky

No matter what he did, they told him it was bad, but he didn’t give up The guys who laughed at the duck were probably surprised by how he’d changed beyond recognition

Wouldn’t it be nice to keep freely painting your dreams, chasing the clouds rolling by

My heart belongs to no-one My wide-spreading imagination can’t be stopped by anyone

I’ll take you along to the skies of my heart Imagine it, things start and are born one after another

Please give the ugly duckling courage, now give the power The ugly duckling is now turning into a swan in this sky

The heart of the duck belongs to no-one He dreamt of spreading his wings and crossing the skies

I’m freely flying off into the skies This is the time of me streaking through, slicing the air

Please give the ugly duckling courage, now give the power The ugly duckling is now turning into a swan in this sky…

* The French edition translated the title more freely as ‘hope of an ugly duckling’. Interestingly, the booklet doesn’t have an official translation of the lyrics of this particular song, despite having translations of the other songs. 

Ahiru no kokoro
