Kibou no Tane / Kosumosu / Pop'n Music 13 / Japanese & Romanisation & English

[Xythar]

The Japanese is already in the database, but is provided here for reference.

Also, how should the artist name be romanised? It's 秋桜, the DB says "Aki Sakura" but that sounds more like someone's name, whereas this is the name of a duo. I've gone with Kosumosu which is what Rikai suggests.

Romanisation and translation (which is probably wrong somewhere) are by me.

キボウノタネ / 秋桜

遠いまちのどこかから
風にただ身をゆだね

行方知れず一人きりで
この地へたどりついたの

力強く咲き誇れと
手ばなした誰かの想いを乗せて

大きな夢乗せた小さな希望のわたのタネ
ばらまいたらそこには笑顔の花が咲くの

あおい空浮かぶ雲
感じる風のリズム
みんなほら生きている
限りないこの世界で

生きてるなら

歌え　笑え　LaLaLaLa...

Kibou no Tane / Kosumosu

Toori machi no dokoka kara
Kaze ni tada mi o yudane

Yukue shirezu hitori kiri de
Kono chi e tadori tsuita no

Chikaradzuyoku saki hokore to
Tebanashita dareka no omoi o nosete

Ooki na yume noseta chiisa na kibou no wata no tane
Haramaitara soko ni wa egao no hana ga saku no

Aoizora ukabu kumo
Kanjiru kaze no RHYTHM
Minna hora ikiteiru
Kagirinai kono sekai de

Ikiteru nara

Utae, warae, la la la la...

Seed of Hope / Cherry Blossoms in Autumn

From its far-off waiting place,
Entrusting itself to the wind,

Its destination known to one alone,
It eventually reaches the earth

When it proudly shows a triumphant bloom
It will bear the people's sent wishes

A cotton seed carrying grand dreams and small hopes
At that place it falls, flowers like smiling faces bloom

A cloud floats on the blue sky
Feeling the rhythm of the wind
Everyone! Let's live our lives to the fullest in this world

As long as we're alive...

Sing! Laugh! La la la la...

[-Miz-]

Kosumosu makes sense to me (possible play on Cosmos). *shrugs*

Toori machi -> tooi machi (machi is roughly "town", so "from somewhere in a far-off town"). Actually ...

遠いまちのどこかから
風にただ身をゆだね
行方知れず一人きりで
この地へたどりついたの

Starting off somewhere in a far-off town,
It flung itself to the wind
And finally came to this strange land
All alone

大きな夢乗せた小さな希望のわたのタネ
ばらまいたらそこには笑顔の花が咲くの

These are tiny seeds of hope that carry great dreams
Wherever they scatter to, the flowers of happiness will bloom there

(ooki na yume noseta) modifies (chiisa na kibou no wata no tane), wata no tane being the base subject. So, "chiisa na kibou no wata no tane" -> tiny seeds of hope

みんなほら生きている
限りないこの世界で

Hey, everyone is living
In this limitless world

The first line is pretty self explanatory; the second line is also pretty straightforward, just with comparatively unusual word order.
