「ついておいで」のFirst word 重ね合う日々が Dear my precious こんなに募り 愛にした

火花が弾け飛んだ 視線のクチヅケ No, no, missing 燃える為の恋への導火線に 火をつけた

そして求め合う Te amo, Te quiero Dancing 甘美なる 熱に 魅惑のひととき

今宵は 二人 夜明けを 待つまで 禁断の 夢を 夢じゃなくそう

Te amare por siempre 踊ろう共に 月明かり愛し合って 吐息がセクシーに頬をくすぐる その先のキスに堕ちよう

王冠を目指しきった空の果て き み も つ れてく

生まれながらの王など 存在はしない Legend days 人が認めて 器になる

道を振り返るなら 愛に振り返れ No, no, praying 今の自分を輝かせてくれた 笑顔へと

そしてまた歌う Te amo, Te quiero Singing 夢も愛も ぜんぶ 強欲な王さ

広がった 世界 煌めいた 明日に 連れてく それが カルテット魂

Eres amor de mi vida 決して離さない 1秒も…この先も その首筋に消えても…消えても 深くずっと残る痣を

飽くなき熱情を貪って と ろ け あ おうか？

誰にも手の届かない高みへ 君となら行けるはず 「今」へと止(とど)まることは似合わない 終わりなき階段へと

Te amare por siempre 踊ろう共に RISE AGAIN愛し合って Eres amor de mi vida 決して離さない 永遠(とわ)の夢　永遠(とわ)に飛ぼう

王冠を目指しきった空の果て き み も つ れてく

踊り疲れたら 内緒でぬけよう 終わりなき夢の 地図をみせたい

English:

With those first words, "Follow me" The overlapping days (Dear my precious) Become ever stronger And turn into love

Sparks fly From the kiss of that look in your eyes (No, no, missing) They set aflame the fuse Of a love that exists to burn

And we want each other I love you, I want you (Dancing) Give into this luscious heat The captivation of a moment in time

It's just the two of us tonight While we wait for the dawn Let's make this forbidden dream A reality

I love you forever Let's dance together We'll love each other by moonlight Your breath tickles my cheeks sexily Let's go even further and fall into a kiss

Aim with all our might for the crown at the end of the sky Let me take you there

There is no such thing As a king born by nature (Legend days) People must acknowledge you And thus you are deemed worthy of the title

When I wish to look back on the road I'll look back at love (No, no, praying) To the smile that allowed me To shine as I do now

And we sing again I love you, I want you (Singing) Dreams and love All of them belong to this greedy king

In this wide world I'll be the one to take you To a glittering tomorrow That is the QUARTET spirit

Love of my life I'll never let you go Not for a second… no, not ever Even if the bruise on the nape of your neck fades away It will remain with you deeply and never disappear

Indulge in this insatiable passion Shall you become enchanted?

If I'm with you, I'm sure that we can make it To heights that no one else can reach It doesn’t suit us to stop "here and now" Let's go to that endless stairway

I love you forever Let's dance together We'll love each other and RISE AGAIN Love of my life I'll never let you go Let's fly forever in this eternal dream

Aim with all our might for the crown at the end of the sky Let me take you there

When you're tired of dancing Let's slip away in secret I want to show you a map That leads to an endless dream

Again and again I faced despair and disappointment There were days when I put up a brave front But it's because of my past I hold – you – tight (I want to feel you even more…)

Over and over I repeat the name of this star with my lips Every time I carry it on my back The sands of time are scattered in the wind Changing "sadness" into "strength" Because "Nothing is forever"

Let's silence it with a kiss

You will find the music more beautiful than kiss (This love will never fade) Oh, oh I'm not lying when I wish for eternity (Let's sing together)

I've been going against time to live with you (With our tears piling up) Oh, oh I vow with this STARRY HEART that I'll protect those tears (I want to change them into a smile)

Uh… Shine STARRY HEART Let me envelop you

It will be even more amazing than a kiss

Anything is possible The future is shining Shall we talk of the future? With these 10 years behind us I – want – to hold you (To your heart)

Revealing our Wishes and desires There's no point in having regrets I risked my life for this passion Now – let's – heat things up (Be with me…)

I want you to see How it starts from here I definitely Want to show you even more I'll prove it to you Not with words Love is overflowing From my heart

Let us go out to the world

You will find the music more beautiful than kiss (Let's go beyond affection) Oh, oh this history that we've spun is not just for show (I want to prove it to you)

I can't hold back my emotions (My heart is beating fast) Oh, oh This STARRY HEART will be the fluttering wings that lead to a new era (With glittering courage)

Unknown feelings, a captivating trap Entwined by a thread that connects us I'll draw you in sweetly When you look back, you'll see an icy smile

Truth or Lie? Once I've caught your heart, I won't let you go

People love and search for a future filled with hope I continue to wish for it Wish for kindness in that place that I've finally arrived at…

(unlock my fate) If we are drawn in by unknown possibilities A new door (secret) to understanding (secret) will open tonight

That is forbidden territory that must not be crossed I must not violate the position of a servant This is my policy

Tea will be earl grey with milk and cinnamon Peace of mind according to the season Please order as you like it

A world without peasants is like sugarless chocolate It's not love, but obedience Yes, it's exciting Yes, a narrow harmony between master and servant

Milady, how do you do? I'll be by your side today as well, singing a song sweeter than love Both butler and idol will be close by, giving you alone the symphony of life Steward Dance, I am at your service

I'm the only one who knows your smile Before I know it, my heart burns with the desire to have it all to myself Like the taste of burnt caramel

More stimulating than sugar of sugar It comes from your voice Upon your orders, I must pretend to be cool

Days and nights without peasants is like mapleless pancakes I must be the figure of perfectionism Yes, it's lively Yes, a cracking and perfect sympathy

Milady, how do you do? I'll be by your side today as well, here to serve you With unparalleled joy in my heart, I sincerely express my feelings of love for you

As I am now, then surely Surely I can tell you how I really feel I will protect you, that is all that matters …Keep this just between the two of us

Milady, how do you do? I'll be by your side today as well, singing a song sweeter than love Both butler and idol will be close by, giving you alone the symphony of life Steward Dance, I am at your service

褪せない甘いメモリー　淡く穏やかな一瞬(シーン) 繰り返し寄せる波に　眩しさ残して

両手伸ばしても　掴めずに　零(こぼ)れ落ちた 真珠の涙　誰のもの？

溢れて Cry Cry Cry　捕らわれ揺れる まどろむ闇の中 見上げれば白い月が　輝いて滲む 瞼を濡らして

「自分」を演じながら　毎日をやりすごし ハリボテの美しさを　自嘲気味に笑う

何度叫んでも　深淵に呑み込まれて 問いかけた声　届かない

愛しき　Recollection　消える事ない 痛みも道連れに 受け止めて今を生きる　光を探して 聴こえる　Follow my heart

海がさざめいて　音をたて時の針は 明日(あす)へのメロディー　刻み出す

溢れて Cry Cry Cry　ゆらゆら揺れる 優しい闇の中 見上げれば白い月が　輝きを紡ぐ 想いを奏でて

English:

A sweet memory that never fades A fleeting and gentle scene, like a moment in time They leave behind a radiance on the waves that come in and out

Even if I stretch out both my hands I couldn't grab hold of it before it scattered Who do these pearly tears belong to?

Cry Cry Cry they overflow Captured and wavering in the slumbering darkness If I look up, the white moon is blurry and shining Wetting my eyelids

I get through each day acting as "myself" I laugh to myself at the beauty of the superficial

No matter how many times I scream It's swallowed up by the abyss I asked a question, but my voice did not reach

My beloved recollection, it will never disappear Bring the pain along with you Accept it and live in the present Look for the light I can hear it and follow my heart

The sea is murmuring The hands of time sound Carving out this melody towards tomorrow

Cry Cry Cry they overflow Swaying and wavering in the gentle darkness If I look up, the white moon weaves its brilliance Playing my feelings

一番胸の深くにある　この歌に名前をつけたなら 今よりもっと　愛しい空に会えるね

止まった針が示す真実に 抗う熱が　オーバーヒート寸前

理屈じゃなくて　湧き上がる感情 振りほどけない　衝動が胸たたく

Wait...　燻ってる　言葉溢れて Storm...　安全圏外の　真っ只中へと走れ

薄紫に滲んだ街　ガラスの目に透かしたリアリティ 昨日よりも　確かな煌めき放ち はらむ風を受けたら　頬を伝う雫それさえも　乾いて 光り出す　可能性 未来へ歌え　Dream Maker Dear all...

合理主義なら　必要最低限 方程式と　演算でクリアできる

測りきれない　幾つもの感情 交差するから　人は惹かれ合える

Past...　目を閉じて耳を塞ぐより Rush...　恐れを断ち切って　ここにいる意味を叫べ

心のままに飛び出すこと　根拠なんてない自信でいい 重ねた手が伝えるドラマがあれば 何億分の一で　出会えた奇跡を抱きしめたら　奏でて 輝いた　世界へと 背中を押すよ　Dream Maker Sing for you

Stop...　一人きり涙を流すの？ Here...　大丈夫笑って　一緒に叶えよう夢を

一番胸の深くにある　この歌が君に届くように 昨日よりも　確かな音色紡ぐよ はらむ風を受けたら　頬を伝う雫それさえも　乾いて 光り出す　可能性 ボクは微熱の　Dream Maker Dear all...

English:

If I gave a name to the song deepest in my heart I could meet a sky that's even more beautiful than it is now, right?

The clock hands have stopped and point to the truth This fever is resisting, it's on the verge of overheating

It's not logic or reason, but emotions that well up I can't shake this impulse that beats against my chest

Wait… These smouldering words are overflowing Storm… Run outside of your safety zone, right into the midst of it

A city blurred in light purple, reality seen through glass eyes A glimmer that shines more certainly compared to yesterday Filled with the wind, even the drops running down my cheeks dry up With the potential to shine I'll be the Dream Maker, singing to the future Dear all…

If it's rationalism, the bare minimum needed to clear it is equations and calculations

There are many emotions that cannot be measured That's why people are drawn to each other so that they can intersect

Past… Instead of closing my eyes and covering my ears Rush… I'll overcome my fear and shout out my reason for being here

Follow your heart and jump out It's okay to have confidence with no basis if there is a drama that can be conveyed by our overlapping hands When I embrace this miracle of our billion-to-one meeting I'll play to this shining world I'll be the Dream Maker, supporting you with a push forward Sing for you

Stop… Are you shedding tears all alone? Here… Smile, it's okay. We'll make our dreams come true together

I hope that this song deepest in my heart will reach you I'll weave a tone even more certain compared to yesterday Filled with the wind, even the drops running down my cheeks dry up With the potential to shine I'll be the Dream Maker, giving you a slight fever Dear all…

Lonely night　忘れさせる　優しさ降り積もって 明けない夜はないことを知った Feel your heart　いつの間にか 心地よい風に抱かれて 馬鹿正直に素直になる

おまえがこぼした　満開の笑顔が 確かな　信じる力くれた

You mean so much to me　偽りない気持ち You always make me happy　どう伝えればいい？ 言葉だけじゃ足りないんだ　もどかしいジレンマ 二人で並んで　同じ夢を見て 二人で歩いて　同じ時刻む 一緒だと願って　届けようこの歌に乗せて

Ask you　柄にもなく　とまどう自分がいる 愛してるって言ったらどうする？ Don't cry　抱きしめたい おまえの瞳(め)に映る姿 一人じゃない　わかるだろう？

小さな声さえ　聞き逃さなかった 今度はおまえの声聞かせて

You mean so much to me　2度とない出会い You always make me happy　深く感じたい こんなに胸を震えさせる　奴に巡り会えた 理屈はいらない　鼓動が教える 理由はいらない　心が求める 見せてくれるだろ？　おまえの望むもの全て

柔くて壊れそうで　何度も確かめた その温もりに今　まっすぐ

強く想うだから I love you, my sweet heart

You mean so much to me　偽りない気持ち You always make me happy　どう伝えればいい？ 言葉だけじゃ足りないんだ　もどかしいジレンマ 二人で並んで　同じ夢を見て 二人で歩いて　同じ時刻む 一緒だと願って　届けようこの歌に乗せて

English:

Kindness builds up, allowing me to forget the lonely night I've learned that dawn will always follow the night Before I know it, I feel your heart A pleasant breeze embraces me I become foolishly naïve and honest

You let your feelings show Your smile in full bloom gave me the strength to believe

You mean so much to me, these feelings of mine are honest You always make me happy, how should I convey them to you? Words alone aren't enough, it's a frustrating dilemma We'll stand side by side, sharing the same dream We'll walk side by side, letting time pass us by I hope we'll stay together, I'll deliver my wish to you with this song

Ask you, this is out of character for me and I stand confused But what would you do if I told you I love you? Don't cry, this figure reflected in your eyes wants to hold you and embrace you You're not alone, you know that right?

Even the smallest voice didn't escape my hearing This time, let me hear your voice

You mean so much to me, this encounter will never happen again You always make me happy, I want to feel it deeply I've never met anyone who could make my heart tremble like this We don't need logic, our heartbeats will teach us We don't need reason, our hearts will demand it You'll show me, won't you? Everything that you desire

So soft and fragile, I had to make sure of it many times I'm heading towards that warmth right now

Because I feel so strongly about you I love you, my sweet heart

You mean so much to me, these feelings of mine are honest You always make me happy, how should I convey them to you? Words alone aren't enough, it's a frustrating dilemma We'll stand side by side, sharing the same dream We'll walk side by side, letting time pass us by I hope we'll stay together, I'll deliver my wish to you with this song

Wo-o-o-o I can't live without you Yeah- I love you. Forever.

Beautiful and pure Dolls in a miniature garden Such is perfection Embracing the shadows in secret

World lines that speak of "IF" In that moment, in that time, if we had not met I wouldn't have seen this dream

(Who is the one?) Infinite possibilities (Who is the one?) We feel… but The GRAVITY (gravitational pull) of a wavering heart Asks for true happiness

(I am the one) Even when there are confusing days (You are the one) If you begin to forgive Our fates will light up As we continue to wish right now

A pure white reaction Rightness that produces darkness Going against providence Constantly searching for meaning

Because I speak of "IF" The miracle that we call today has sprouted And this dream has bloomed

(Who is the one?) All kinds of possibilities (Who is the one?) With the resolve to throw everything away Calling to each other with the GRAVITY (magnetic pull) of our bonds Coincidence becomes inevitable

(I am the one) All on my own (You are the one) All that you can't do Spin with brilliance and glitter Again, towards a journey in the future that is tomorrow

(I am the one) My own potential (You are the one) Not doubting again The GRAVITY (gravitational pull) of songs that will lead us Yes, that's why I met you

(I love the one) The amount of that love (You love the one) An interwoven STORY Our fates will light up In this beautiful world

(Why am I here? White as I wish) Who is the one? I am the one Who is the one? You are the one (Why am I here? White as I wish) Who is the one? I am the one Who is the one? You are the one

Maji LOVE Kingdom Special Unit “Feather in the hand” Drama Summary

A summary of the drama to go with my translation of the song from earlier in the year. Listening to the drama after translating the lyrics, you really do realise how beautiful the message and imagery is in the song.

As with the previous drama summary post, please do not repost. Please link back to the post if you wish to share it with others, thank you!

Track 02: Nervousness and Anxiety

The collaboration between Raging Entertainment and Shining Agency begins, and Eiji starts to worry that he's arrived too early to his meeting. As he mulls over his Special Unit and wonders who he will be paired up with from STARISH and QUARTET NIGHT, he begins to feel a sense of nervousness. While he would be happy to be paired with Tokiya again, he also knows that the presidents of their respective agencies would have put him in a group beyond what he can imagine.

Since he has heard about the other members of STARISH from Tokiya, and given that HEAVENS worked with STARISH during the duet project he has a sense of what they are like. But he notes that he doesn't know anything about QUARTET NIGHT and its members. Regardless, he knows that he must do what he can no matter who he is put with. Arriving early to the designated meeting spot, he's surprised to see someone already waiting there for him.

M: "Oh, you're here early." E: "Hijirikawa-san, good morning! I'm Otori Eiji. It is my great honour— I-I mean, it's a pleasure to be working with you. Please take care of me!"

After getting past the initial introductions, Eiji mentions that he's heard a lot about Masato from Kira, praising his composing skills and his ability to play the piano. Masato has similarly heard from Tokiya about Eiji, praising him for his earnestness as evidenced by his showing up early to their meeting. Eiji explains that he just happened to arrive ahead of schedule, and notes that Masato is also early as well. The latter had been looking to do some mental training (similar to meditation?) before their designated meeting time, and Eiji worrying that he has interrupted him offers to leave the room. Masato turns him down, wanting to continue their conversation while waiting for the third member of their group.

C: "Well, this will be quite enjoyable." M: "Camus-senpai!" E: "C-Camus-san…!" M: "So the third member of our group is Camus-senpai! It's an honour to be given this chance to sing with you." E: (Was it because I was too caught-up in our conversation? I didn't hear his footsteps or feel his presence at all…!)

Eiji is introduced to Camus and immediately tenses up, feeling nervous in his presence. Having heard from Shion that Cecil's senpai is like a demon, he can sense that his aura is unlike any normal person's. When Masato comments on the coffee he's holding, Camus reveals that he had been hoping to take his time before the designated meeting time. But with everyone gathered already, he doesn't think he'll get to do that now. Eiji internally panics, worrying that he's in a bad mood now after interrupting his plans/free time. While he continues to fret, Masato carries on the conversation as normal, praising Camus for his preparation in advance and wanting to learn a lot from him during the unit project.

Eiji starts to wonder if Camus isn't as strict as he seems, but when Camus addresses him he tenses up again and concludes he really is scary after all. In his nervousness he introduces himself to Camus once again, the latter commenting that they already did introductions earlier. In addition, he says that there is no need for a handshake as he can see Eiji's hand shaking. While Eiji tries to play off his nervousness, Camus decides to take a different approach:

C: "Young man, would you prefer this side of me?" E: "Eh?" C: "There is no need to be so nervous. From henceforth, we shall be creating music together. It would make me ever so happy if we would get along with each other." E: "U-Um…" C: "Is something the matter, young man? Could it be, this side of me is not to your liking either?" E: "No, not at all! You don't have to worry about me so much." C: "If you insist, however…" E: "U-Um… I would like to learn a lot of things from you as well. Please take care of me!" C: (normal voice) "Hmm, well it looks like we have our unit."

Track 03: Surprising Coffee Break

Masato begins the meeting by thanking everyone for their time and going over the brief for their special unit. He's rented out the venue so it's just the three of them, allowing them to run their meeting without any interruptions. As Eiji marvels over the luxurious hotel lounge they've been given and Camus praises their surroundings, Masato explains that it's a Japanese-style hotel and invites them to order anything they like from the selection of drinks and desserts on offer. Upon eyeing the menu, Camus notes the variety of traditional Japanese sweets (wagashi) and green tea (matcha) flavoured treats as a result of the Japanese-style theme of the hotel. He starts off with a coffee, Masato ordering the same, before scanning the dessert menu. Masato invites Eiji to order as well, who asks for a coffee as well to start. He's still nervous about having their meeting in such a beautiful place, but Masato reassures him he doesn't have to worry about it.

C: "Ah, our coffee has arrived. Right here, please." E: (He's adding sugar cubes into his coffee… huh, that many?!) M: "Oh? Camus-senpai, you're holding back today. Is something the matter?" E: "Holding back!?" C: "What? Don't raise your voice so suddenly."

Camus explains that as he'll be trying a lot of different sweets, he wants to start off with this amount and see how he goes. Masato smiles at the thought put into his preparation, and Eiji starts to realise that even though they are all idols, even just by being under different agencies he's been surprised by a lot of things today. But he finds that getting to know things about the two of them is also the interesting part.

Upon commenting on Camus' love of sweets, Camus explains the fine pleasure that one can experience in just a single mouthful. Realising that he gets excited when it comes to sweets, Eiji privately muses to himself how he finds this side of Camus cute. Camus in turn asks Eiji if he's been able to calm down, as he noticed how tense he was before. Masato apologises for not sensing his discomfort earlier, while Eiji is at a loss for words. Realising their true kindness, he is grateful for their concern but makes a note not to take advantage of it.

After everyone has settled in, they begin their discussion. Camus asks if the other two have listened to the track already, to which Eiji comments that he found it refreshing with a sense of transparency. Given that the theme of the song is the expression of love, Masato says that each of them are able to bring a different approach to the song. Camus agrees, saying that "love" takes on a different shape for each person, and even within the three of them they have differing views. Masato, along with Camus want to know more about Eiji in order to better their understanding of each other before singing together, to which he agrees.

Masato begins by asking about his hobbies, and Eiji nervously answers that he enjoys gardening. As someone who raises bonsai, Masato can relate. Eiji says that he looks after mostly flowers and herbs, but recently has gained an interest in growing vegetables. Wanting to continue their conversation, Masato wonders if Eiji is interested in cooking as well. Being busy with work, Eiji says he isn't able to cook a lot but he does enjoy it. When topic of conversation becomes sparse again, Masato quickly asks what Eiji likes to do on his off-days. He replies that he likes to visit the gardening store, and Masato brings up a Japanese red pine tree that he saw the other day and hasn't been able to forget. Eiji can relate, recounting an English Rose that the sales clerk showed him the other day.

Camus quickly stops them there, saying he feels second-hand embarrassment at the "depth" of their conversation. Masato and Eiji apologise to each other for their mutual lack of experience with this sort of talk. Beginning again from the top, Masato realises that of course music is the best way of getting to know each other. Returning to their thoughts on the song, Masato notes that while Eiji thought the song was refreshing, he himself thought of it as refreshing in a different way. He sensed a kind of resignation and the brave acceptance of something from the song.

In order to bring the song to life, they realise it's not enough to sing the lyrics. By doing so they wouldn't be doing the power of the song justice, and Eiji says they each need to add their own feelings to the song. Eiji turns to Camus for advice, as from listening to his songs he seems to have experience with expression in song. But Camus doesn't want them to copy him, rather saying that they can create a harmony by having each of them bring their personal experience and feelings to the performance. Instead, he asks each of them what kind of song they want to make.

E: "I want the pain of this song to be seen as something to be experienced, and convey it as a song that can bring hope." C: "I see… and you, Hijirikawa?" M: "Becoming close to someone is more than just happiness. Just as the expression of love takes on differing forms, love in itself isn't always a positive thing. When we are thinking about the other person, sometimes that can lead to bittersweet feelings. It's because we love them that sometimes we're forced apart." E: "You're right, it's not all fun is it? We get hurt as well, but surely that pain isn't for nothing. They leave something with us." M: "Yes, we learn from them; learn and remember that we once loved."

Masato wishes to sing in front of people and show that within sadness, a day of happiness surely lies ahead. Eiji believes that no matter where we go, someone is watching over you and wants to embrace the listeners with that gentleness. Camus understands that Masato and Eiji want to show that happiness and sadness go hand in hand with each other, approving of the conclusion they've come to. Masato suggests that they start to write some lyrics with that concept in mind, but not before Camus decides to order extra sweets much to Eiji's shock. ("I can't believe he's still going!")

Track 04: A New Harmony

Some time later, Eiji is talking to Camus outside the studio after their latest recording session when he realises Masato isn't around. Camus tells him he's still inside talking to the staff. Being the serious person he is, he's never satisfied with the first recording and is always looking for something they can do better. Eiji is amazed and vows to learn from this experience to make HEAVENS even greater.

Masato shows up at that moment with a demo of the recently recorded song, and the three of them quickly sit down to listen to it. They are taken aback by the sound of their voices harmonising together, Eiji saying the song has potential to go even farther. Camus praises the lyrics and the feelings that they've recorded and carried into the song. Despite their voices being so different, they've managed to create a new harmony and weave it into the song.

While there are a lot of positives to their song, Camus warns the other two that they shouldn't be satisfied with just a passing mark. Even so, Eiji and Masato are thankful for Camus' praise and acknowledgement so far. Camus warns them again it's too early to be accepting his praise, as until the live concert is over he can't call the song finished just yet.

Realising that they still have to think about how to present it in a live setting, they begin to exchange ideas for the live performance. Because of the deep emotion and meaning in the song, Eiji thinks that it's better to direct the song at the audience. Camus agrees, wanting to convey the feelings of the song over getting the choreography right. Masato wishes for the audience to take in something from the performance as well. As he starts to go over finer details like lighting and stage positioning, Eiji continues to give his suggestions and the discussion evolves.

Track 05: The Greatest Scenery

Following rehearsal just before the live show, Eiji marvels at the sight set before him. Camus says that as long as they remember everything they've been working on and put it into the performance, they won't have any problems. Masato is eager to see the arena full of people, and they all look forward to what kind of sight will await them then.

M: "On a stage like this, being able to sing as part of this group, I'm overwhelmed with such happiness. Camus-senpai, Eiji… I'm really glad to have been in this group with the two of you." C: "Goodness, already? Well, being able to write a song with the two of you, it was a worthwhile experience for me too." E: "Our hearts are one, aren't they? I was a little nervous about how things would go at first, but now I'm really glad I was part of this unit."

They vow to put on a performance that only the three of them will be able to deliver. Feelings of happiness and feelings of sadness as well – they will take all of their feelings and deliver it in song.

E: "Let's do our best on stage!" M: "Okay." C: "Of course."

Maji LOVE Kingdom Special Unit "Feather in the hand" Lyrics (JPN/RMJ/ENG)

Initially I was only going to buy Up-Down-Up! for Ai, but then I became curious about the drama after listening to the preview. So I ended up caving and buying the CD, but man the song is so worth it. It makes use of really lovely imagery, and the way that Maenu/SuzuKen/Yumataso harmonise is simply beautiful.

English:

Feather in the hand… the fluttering wings of love fade into silence Let there be light… in the echo of the abyss, I reflect on my loneliness and learn of the cruelty of time

Wishing for eternity, that uneasiness was surely (wowow) The beginning of an ending melody (Can't stop the music) While it was painful as if it was hard to breathe, my feelings grew stronger

Go high, towards the direction the wind blows Flap your wings and follow your dreams In this endless clear blue sky Ah… because I love you I will protect your from afar

Bird in the sky… its feathers are dancing Take flight, o wings of love Close yet so far… near but far away I couldn't see the distance between us When I tried to stop you in love

Because we both belonged in different places (wowow) Our time together became short (But it was lonely) When we said our last words for the first time The two of us simply cried

Go high, now every time I look up at this cloudless sky I'm chasing after my dreams Ah… if I'm following after you, I can't help but smile

Go high, the soft feathers that you left behind When you went on your journey Will become my guide when I lose my way Ah… protecting me at my side oh…

Go high, I let go of our hands as I know That surely a day is coming when we can say we're glad there was yesterday Ah… because I love you I will also leave on my own journey Oh… Yeah…

Maji LOVE Kingdom Special Unit "Up-Down-Up!" Drama Summary

A member from the /r/ShiningLive Discord requested a summary of the Up-Down-Up! drama, so this is me delivering on that request. It was tweeted in a Twitter thread earlier, but I thought to upload it to Tumblr as well since the formatting is nicer and I can keep it all together in one easy post.

Please do not repost this summary, a simple link back to the post would be appreciated if you wish to share with others.

Track 02: Too close for comfort.

As the Special Unit Project begins, Otoya finds it hard to imagine what this new collaboration between STARISH, QUARTET NIGHT and HEAVENS will bring about. His heart is pounding at the thought, and he's excited to see who he will be working with and wants to make sure he enjoys it to the fullest.

He soon discovers that the first member of his unit is Ai. Being the first time he'll be singing in the same unit as him, he's already feeling the excitement. Otoya has always wanted to sing with Ai, so he's very happy with the pairing.

Ai, having heard that it will be a 3-person unit begins to wonder who the remaining member will be. Enter a lively Van, who is impressed that the two have arrived ahead of him so early. He proceeds to introduce himself to Ai, quickly addressing him as "Ai-chan":

A: "'Ai…chan'?" V: "Oh, you don't like it? I could always call you 'Ah-chan', or how about 'Mii-chan' from 'Mikaze'—" A: "I don't like either of them." V: "If that's the case, then it's gotta be Ai-chan!"

Van proceeds to greet Otoya, who responds with equal enthusiasm:

V: "Oto-chan!" O: "Van-san!" V/O: "All right!" *high-fives*

The two have met in group settings before, but surprisingly this will be the first time they have the chance to talk properly. Van tells Otoya that he can drop the '-san' from his name ("Just call me Van!") and comments that Eiichi spoke highly of him. Otoya seems a bit nervous, but Van quickly reassures him that he's only heard good things from him. ("Saikou ni… ii!")

Ai seems surprised that they get along so well, despite this being their first proper meeting. Van tries to encourage Ai to be friendly with him too, allowing him to call him "Van-chan" and the like. But Ai finds his over-enthusiasm a bit too much and chooses instead to concentrate on the task at hand, which is the composing of their unit song.

The up-tempo song, composed to excite the listeners and leave an impression on them is met with approval from Van and Otoya. Otoya becomes excited just from listening to the music alone, being unable to sit still and eager to work on practice and dance lessons right away.

Track 03: Sudden Love Gossip!?

As the three of them sit down to write the lyrics, they find themselves stuck on what to write. Keeping in line with the pop feeling of the song, Otoya suggests making use of fun/energetic words like "Yay!". But Ai reminds him that they need to stick to the theme of 'love' as well and asks Otoya to think about it more deeply.

To add an idea of his own, Van suggests they talk about love (lit. love gossip). If they're going to sing about love as a unit, they should hear each other's thoughts on the topic.

Otoya goes first and talks about what his falling in love would look like:

O: "If I were to fall in love, I would only be able to think about that person. In fact, I might lose sight of what's around me!" A: "That straightforwardness is just like you, Otoya." V: "That's youth for ya!"

Van goes on to question Ai next:

A: "I don't know about love, but if it's coming to like somebody, I think it would mean that the other person will become more important to you as time passes. Wanting to grant whatever desires they have, and I would want them to care about me a little as well. So I would want to learn more about them." V: "Man, the two of you are so pure!"

Van finally has his chance to give his two cents on the topic:

V: "I think I'm kinda the possessive type. For example, when we're eating something really tasty, or when we're watching a really beautiful sight together and it makes me think 'Ah, so this is what makes her happy'."

Realising that their views on love are similar, they take to writing the lyrics with their feelings and newfound vision. 

Track 04: Surprise must be bold.

After recording the song, Otoya is eager to jump into dance lessons and begin practicing for the live performance. He sees Van outside the practice room and proceeds to call out to him before the latter silences him.

Peeking inside, Otoya finds Ai going over an extensive schedule that has been rigorously timed down to the last minute. Remembering Syo's words to him about Ai's lessons being strict, they nervously enter the practice room.

Being a fun and up-tempo song, they need to come up with a live performance to match.  But as the three of them have different physiques and varying levels of ability, Ai has built a training schedule to ensure that they'll be on the same footing with one another. Despite their enthusiasm to jump right into dance lessons, Otoya and Van relent and take to Ai's training schedule, eager to start on the choreography.

V: "With a cute face like that, who knew he could be so Spartan!"

Otoya and Van escape for a quick break after practicing for 4 hours straight. But it isn't long before Ai finds them and scolds them for taking a break ahead of schedule. As punishment, he adds 15 minutes to their next practice set.

Choreography comes along well as they continue to practice, getting used to the tempo of the song and memorising the different formation and dance steps. Van suggests they add a bit of their own personality to the dance. Otoya quickly agrees and points out some parts they could change in the choreography, particularly in the chorus to give off a surprising feeling.

Ai comes up with an idea for the performance. Otoya and Van try and fail at first due to the balance the move/pose requires. But they are eager to perfect it, saying it's the first time they've seen it.

(T/N: What pose was it? Maybe if/when they perform the song at 7th stage we'll find out…)

Track 05: If it’s the 3 of us!

They come to the end of their last rehearsal, Otoya proudly declaring that their song is finally complete. He's looking forward to the live, but Van tells him to save some of that excitement for the actual stage. Ai says to give it their all on that stage, and that if it's the 3 of them they'll be able to do it.

O: "I'm really glad I was put with the two of you! It was a lot of fun, thank you!" A: "There were times when your behaviour surprised me, but being with the two of you has given me experience I wouldn't find from normal work. It was fun." V: "I had heaps of fun too! It would be nice to work with you guys again!"

Otoya says it's too early for them to be talking as if it's the end. Ai notes that the actual performance will only last several minutes, but he wants them to capture the audience's hearts in that short amount of time.

O: "Let's make it the best performance and give everyone a good time!" V: "We'll be sure that they only have eyes for us!" O: "Alright, let's keep doing our best!" V/A: "Yeah!" "Yes."
