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

BoA - Winter Love [Translation + Romaji]

Winter fairies sparkle as they flutter to the ground With nothing to do, I kissed your smiling photograph

No more long waits in line for a movie we promised we’d see My heart is still by your side, and I miss you, but now we’re not even friends

I love you, I want to see you, my kiss sends down a billion snowflakes Until the day I happen across you someplace again Can I keep loving you, baby, even though I can’t forget you? I’ll never forget you

The moment I realized I was now all alone True sadness, yeah, filled up my heart again

The feeling of loving someone is now too precious for me to forget No matter how many times I change addresses, your voice and dreams never leave me

As time goes on and we love someone new, I think I’ll still think of you Meeting you by fate, the warmth we shared From the bottom of my heart I can say I’m glad it was with you Until the day we meet again

Just alive The future can’t stop, it’s always coming excruciatingly fast, forever No matter if I’m happy or sad, when I’m loving someone I feel Just alive

I love you, I want to see you, my kiss sends down a billion snowflakes Until the day I happen across you someplace again Can I keep loving you, baby, even though I can’t forget you? I’ll never forget you

Ikimonogakari - HANABI [Translation + Romaji]

Sparkling, flickering, releasing blue dreams Like burning flowers

Quietly falling from the sky, two petals from the fireworks of dreams Could you see that same light too when you went into the distance? Even though we’re apart I believe someday we’ll meet again I’m singing this song that tears my heart apart. Can you hear it?

It’s fireworks bursting in an instant

Sparkling, flickering, releasing blue dreams Bloom beautifully, high up in the sky This love that protects us echoes with a bang Holding strong until the very end Like burning flowers

I threw so many mischievous words out there I gave up my hesitation and it quietly disappeared. Can you see tomorrow?

It’s fireworks bursting in an instant

Sparkling, flickering, I grasped the flowers of a dream As they scatter from my hands I pray that this love echoes to where you are If it ends, let it end strong Like burning flowers

It’s fireworks bursting in an instant

Sparkling, flickering, soaring high up Someday we can meet again This love connects the beloved you and me Forever the two of us, strong

Sparkling, flickering, releasing blue dreams Bloom beautifully, high up in the sky This love that protects us echoes with a bang Holding strong until the very end Like burning flowers

BoA - Every Heart (Minna no Kimochi) 

[Translation]

How many tears must be shed (Every heart) before we can become honest? Who do we have to tell our feelings (Every heart) for our hearts to be satisfied?

I was frightened by long, long nights I prayed to distant stars

●●Round and round in spinning time We are searching for love Because we want to grow stronger and stronger Today we look up towards the tall skies again●●

What kind of smile must we come across (Every heart) before we can take a step towards our dreams? The people who don’t face sadness (Every heart) drift into a sound sleep.

Someday, someday may all souls Find their own peace

△△ Round and round in spinning time We live and we learn Sometimes we smile, sometimes we cry Today we will continue walking on△△

Deep in my childhood memories There’s that place that’s warm and so sweet The future that the stars spoke of Will sparkle forever, so shine

(●● Repeat) (△△ Repeat)

Utada Hikaru - Forevermore [Translation + Romaji]

Those who head home with steady feet Avoid taking the bustling city streets As I put on my broken earphones I almost uttered your name

There’s no one who could ever replace you Even if you betray me I promise that much will never change

I love you, I love you Though I’m a little heartless The only one that can tighten my chest like this is You and only you  

Others come and go But you're in my soul forevermore We’re forevermore... We’re forevermore... We’re forevermore...it’s so

Friends come and go, fashions go out of style But the things that make me “me” Are not the values I hold true Or even my personal preferences You taught me that

I will not fear my ending And perhaps Even if I’m reborn I still won’t forget you

I love you, I love you Solitude is so becoming of me Yet again, today the only person I miss until I cry is You and only you

Others come and go But you're in my soul forevermore We’re forevermore... We’re forevermore... We’re forevermore...it’s so

After the love’s gone We’re forevermore... We’re forevermore... Unable to wait until the last moment I can say just this:

“Forevermore” I love you, I love you Anything else is a digression I love you, I love you and Only you

Others come and go But you're in my soul forevermore We’re forevermore...we’re forevermore... We’re forevermore...it’s so

AKB48 - Negaigoto no Mochigusare [MV Subbed / Translation]

If I could use magic To grant just one wish I’m sure everyone in the world Would become happy

Not another (tear drop) would (surely) Ever be shed again (our hopes) The seeds (the seeds) of sorrow Would all (would all) wilt away

A wish wasting away in my pocket My one and only chance at magic I want this, I want that too But I just can’t decide now Twilight falls as I think away

One day there were two people Fighting over something silly Without really thinking I wished they would get along…

I’m always (looking for) a way of life (for myself) My one and only (chance) Precious (precious) magic To think (to think) I used it like this

I don’t regret my wish Using it on myself would have led me astray If everyone in the world used their wishes For someone else, we would all become one Smiles would bring the dawn of love

A wish wasting away in my pocket I don’t want to use magic at all So many dreams I want to come true But if I could find the one wish that I Want to come true, I’d be happy

Mr. Ikkyu, arigato, thank you Mr. Ikkyu, you work so hard Mr. Ikkyu, arigato, thank you Mr. Ikkyu

Those dudes don’t have a lick of sense Their wit is on a whole ‘nother level They hit you with it fast and hard Eat a kit-kat Have a little break on the monk’s bed

I don’t care about the sign That says “Do Not Cross The Bridge” Looks like the Wangan Police gave up They can’t block me from Rainbow Bridge

Use that wit, use that wit The dimwits are going nuts Use that wit, use that wit Use that wit, cool

I got the gist of the convo Let’s settle down for a moment Hard to tell a slow thinker from a sleeping one You want it, have a little break

Their wit is on a whole ‘nother level They hit you with it fast and hard Eat a kit-kat Have a little break on the monk’s bed

I summon the tiger off the folding screen The feudal lords are in pandemonium He’s gonna grow up soon And become a punk fallen monk

Use that wit, use that wit The dimwits are going nuts Use that wit, use that wit, cool Use that wit, cool

The temple blocks are pounding a 16 beat The young priests are doin’ the YMCA They’ll start tryin’ tomorrow You want it, have a little break
