Corrected lyrics:

Believe

It’s a brand new world

どこまで行っても追い越せない
doko made itte mo oikosenai
It can’t be overtaken no matter where I go

時が流れていっても消えはしない
toki ga nagarete itte mo kie wa shinai
It won’t disappear even as time flows

さぁ どこまで行ったら辿り着くの
saa doko made ittara tadori tsuku no
Then I’ll be able to reach it no matter where I go

遠い日の記憶

That memory of the faraway days

夜明け頃   空見れば   輝いていた

If I look at the skies during the daybreak, it would be shining

It’s a brand new world

Looking at the single star I saw in my dreams

In those days which I still have to move on while being hurt

Was translating Beautiful Days.

For those who know my style of translating songs, I translate line by line (cause I hope to help others understand the meaning of the words, and not just the whole song). I sorta had some problem finding the right words with this.

空に輝くよキラリ 
星がじわり にじんでくよ 
悲しいほどキレイだね

With second opinion & confirmation of律子 (my Japanese mentor, more than a tutor to me) and Aunty Rei, じわり which can be explained as “division into portions” is neither “gathered” nor “divided” in this context. 
[律子: 集めるとか割れるとかじゃなくてそのものが出てくるよす。星が割れて崩れてたってこと。] 
But I guess the stars in the sky are giving way, like grouping themselves up together (?) A friend referred me to the translations in ArashiLyrics, the translator used the word “zonate”. I get what she’s trying to say, but there’s no such word as zonate in English.

にじんでく means “fade, blur out”. It didn’t occur to me till Aunty Rei said “涙のせいだね”. Yes indeed! The stars seem to be blurring because of the tears of the person. Of course the stars didn’t blur out themselves, silly me, it says right there in the beginning空に輝く、キラリ yo!

悲しいほどキレイ really caught me. I was feeling so much for this line that the line itself should describe my feeling. I was simply not satisfied with “so beautiful that it’s sad” which first came to my mind. There’s something more to it! 
[律子: なにか悲しいことがあった後で綺麗な星空見ていて思い出して悲しくなる。] 
Without thinking much about the scenic descriptions before, I was feeling that perhaps something so beautiful remains a person of the imperfections of life that this beauty will never be a reality, so this person is being sentimental and becomes sad. Then looking at the whole picture, plus the “blurring out in tears”, I was like pang~ there you go. So plainly looking at this scene, tears formed. Because it is too beautiful? Because he/she is reminded of something sad? A bit of everything I guess. I finally opted for “it is indeed too beautiful that it brings out the sadness in me”. I really hope people are reading this post because the short translations I did does not do this song justice.

   星に願うといつか 叶うというけれど 
   夢の中でしか僕ら 永遠にもう会えない

The kanji 永遠 can be read as either “eien” or “towa”. Both readings bring the same meaning – eternity. 永遠にもう会えない does not mean that the both of them will not get to see eternity, because of the に there it actually means that they will not meet each other again forever, for the whole of eternity; note the slight difference. もうtruly tells of the “never again” while夢の中でしか shows that the meeting of the both of them is not possible outside of dreams.

空に想い出がぽろり 
涙ほろり こぼれてくよ

Slipped off, scattering around - ぽろり, imagine your own memories slipping off your grip, scattered around in the sky; like you can’t control it. All the memories, those you had wanted to keep and never lose, those you had wanted to get rid of, or those you had wanted to deceive yourself that you never had them; they’re all spilled over the skies, uncontrollably. How would the person feel seeing all his memories again, especially those which he doesn’t want to face?

ほろり is to be moved to tears. From what I understand in涙ほろり, even the tears themselves were moved to tears, how’s that? When used in the context of tears, こぼれてくwhich means “overflow” would show the falling of tears because the eyes can no longer hold them, yes, tears overflowed. And usually, the tears don’t stop. It’s like a pearl necklace with a broken string, all the pearls drop without stopping.

Then again, I’m yet to watch Ryuusei no Kizuna. I have totally no idea to what the show is about. 
[linda: Hoshi ga jiwari nijindeyuku to iu koto wa, jibun ni totte ryuusei no koto to omoimasu. In that sense, the song fits the drama perfectly. The siblings had wanted to see the meteor, but the memory of their dead parents had sorta tainted the beauty of the view that they had admired before.] 
Ah~ that made sense, yes. If you study the lyrics, it really fits the whole story line of the drama, it’s like a song which the siblings are singing to their parents, perhaps the eldest brother is representing his younger brother and sister – the word “boku” used. Then again, it’s not very appropriate to address parents as “kimi” XD

But I thought perhaps we should give this song a chance to speak for itself as if it’s a no-tie-up. So I translated it in a way that even a person who did not watch the drama (like me) can also feel the song.

Ah sorry to keep you waiting. The lyric translations of Beautiful Days (soft copy).

*ps: if you do not agree with anything I’ve mentioned, please do not hesitate to leave a comment or pm me^^

Heheh...I seriously shoulda started with Jun first so Aiba could be my best...  Oh well, it'll be my tribute to him to be the best since I was Jun-baited.

So Nino...I was going to paint his background with all the colors of the rainbow since his solo is RAINBOW, but my hands hurt so much, I didn't have it in me to do so.  So I hope you like the bg ^^"  And I forgot his glasses first time around, and what's Niji without his glasses??

He was done yesterday, I just forgot to post him up here^^>

I seriously should have started backwards on my favorites.  I suddenly remembered some tips and tricks to make my dear little drawings a tiny bit better. I also forgot a few things on dear Ai-chan.  Ah well, that's life.  And my challenge.

Anyway, next is newscaster Sho-chan.  Enjoy!

I decided to make my own challenge week.  It also happens to be Arashi's 11 year anniversary month.  And I finally got Photoshop back.

I'm going to be drawing the boys as chibis in their solo outfits from AAA 2008 because I love them all so much.  I guess the order is the order that I like them, and the challenge will be...to get them done one a day.

So, ichiban Aiba is first.  This is actually a re-do, because Photoshop decided to die on me and I lost the entire file >< Anyway, I hope you all like it!
