Hey kannazuki, that's a really nice translation and interpretation. Now can you find a connection between the two "Why did you go away"s?

kannazuki · 03-27-2007, 12:06 AM

Jun actually wrote a LOT more for Why did you go away. xD But yeah, I'll try reading the stuff she wrote on the DistorteD page at some point.

Meanwhile, I'm looking for the lyrics of Jewelry Girl. I'm in love with that song and she sounds so much like Tommy heavenly6 in that song it's awesome.

I really want to try translating it.

Somehow I don't think we're going to get the same deep lyrics from the song that we've seen from everything else. Call it a hunch.

kannazuki · 03-27-2007, 01:47 AM

I don't care, I like the song. xD But hey, who said that jun wasn't allowed to have fun with her lyrics? (Though from what I hear (like the english "I'm left alone in an empty world") doesn't sound like she's being frivolous.)

バサイオ · 03-27-2007, 07:12 AM

Wow. You're right, she does sound a lot like tommy in Jewelry Girl. Can't believe I never noticed that before.

Hey! I never said it was a bad thing!

Ah Jewelry Girl...it's perhaps my favorite song in all of Pop'n thus far. It holds a special place in my heart since it's one of the few songs I can clear with a dual shock controller (9 buttons).

Anyway, my eagerness for a "Why did you go away?" translation is because without it, I get the following comical dialogue:

Girl's Sight: Why did you go away leaving me to mend this broken heart again?
Boy's Reason: Because...uh...(insert lame excuse here).

@nilmind: Even I was left with the same impression.. -_-

I wonder if Terra will release anything new for V4... Although I don't fancy the Terra songs in GFDM... I think EDEN could actually be translated into GF/DM...

Which actually leaves us with a mini-poll:
Which is better? Terra songs in:
GF/DM
IIDX
Pop'n

I choose IIDX, for the sake of Alfarshear... :P
But when it comes to BeForU, they rule in GFDM... XD

Well, it's more of from Boy's reason, the reason is more like "I knew that we were going to end soon enough in the future" At least, that's what I remember from when I read the lyrics.

Oh, and I translated jewelry girl.

Pop'n music lyrics section.

Cool, good job on that. She's definitely not being frivolous there.

But as we're still on the topic of Junko Karashima lyrics, I always wanted to know what her words in "I am..." was saying as well. It's my favorite BeForU related song ever since I heard it, so I hope it's not too much to ask if you can do that one as well at some point (please

).

I am - Miharu Arisawa from BeForU (translation + interpretation by kanna) 
La la la la....
 "I" became lost in day to day living
I was lost enough not to notice the differences in my surroundings

I'm looking for my true self
The key to open that heavy door has been released
 I'm being led into that light
I'm starting to see "Myself in this place and moment

... Is that how those days looked like?
I'm drowned in waves of temptation...
 What good is it to remain in the stream? *
I won't lose my dreams to the future - I want to create them with these hands!

I'm certain that the fragments of my emotions can be awakened little by little
I'm starting to see "Myself in this place and moment

* I'm unsure on this one. >_o I think this is about the water imagery previously used for the temptation and waves so it's about staying in the stream of those waves of temptation. The whole song is about self discovery, basically.

nilmind · 03-29-2007, 04:46 PM

My goodness, I didn't expect you to finish this so quickly. And even though you say you're not sure of this one, they're more than good enough to me. Also, I finally found a place to use this:

m(_ _)m

(thanks!)

And wow, I didn't think I could love this song any more. The lyrics are really interesting and hauntingly beautiful as it reminds me of someone trying to describe their symptoms of depersonalization disorder. To me, the wave/water imagery seems to have to do with the derealization aspect of it (google these; it's interesting).

kannazuki · 04-09-2007, 08:15 AM

Haha, I forgot about this thread temporarily. Wow. T_T I feel bad, but anyways, yes.

I'm glad you liked my translation nilmind. jun really writes some deep lyrics, very thought provoking. (I used to take psychology, so I'm vaguely familiar with the terms.

)

Also, on Konami Music Full... There is actually a TERRA special. Something to do with interviews on the songs not to mention a full version of STARS*** -Retuned by HAL- So if it's already on Konami Music Full, it won't appear on any physical media. (Not to mention you can get in the Sky and LOVELY STORM from that site... GAH. No fair. ;~

darkamdusias · 04-09-2007, 12:37 PM

Well, the re-tuned version of STARS☆☆☆ isn't that great, so I'm glad. I mean, the IIDX cut is okay, but the full version is just kind of boring.

reiji_itoh · 04-09-2007, 01:38 PM

I found I am..(album version) translation sometime ago from BeForJess:

In this so-called everyday, I lost "myself"
Even though I was different from my surroundings, I grew to not understand.

I keep smiling too much, even when I'm here,
and before I even knew it, feelings of irritation sprouted
So in order for me to seek out my true self
I opened and released the key to the heavy door

Just like I'm being led, I run toward the light
At the moment that I found this place, "I" began

And so, from there to what point have I come running, I wonder?
Right now I'm continuing down this long, distant road.

Scenery isn't just something pretty
Sometimes, in insecurity, it can snatch away our hearts
After we've been drained, what's left?
I want to make an invincible future with my own hands in my dreams!

Certainly, the shards of my feelings are awakening little by little
Until I can reach that light, I want to keep on running

I knew that scenery isn't just pretty
Often my insecure heart came to push it aside
Drained of everything, more than deciding,
I'll show you an invincible future made with my own hands in my dreams!

Certainly, the shards of my feelings are awakening little by little
I've begun my new self now, in this place.

Even with deep labyrinths I'm watching for in my path,
I won't stop, I'll choose a door and open it up!
I won't go back to those days again
One day I want to encounter the real "me"
