Love is better expressed through songs. Here’s one in Japanese.
Uta Utai no Ballad
Bank Band
ah, utau koto wa/muzukashii koto janai
tada koe ni mi wo makase/atama no naka wo karappo ni suru dake
ah, me wo tojireba/mune no naka ni utsuru
natsukashii omoide ya/anata to no mainichi
hontou no koto wa/uta no naka ni aru
itsumo nara terekusakute ienai koto mo
kyou datte anata wo omoinagara utautai wa utau yo
zutto ienakatta kotoba ga aru/mijikai kara
kiiteokure ai shiteru
ah, utau koto wa muzukashii koto janai
sono mune no mekakushi wo sotto hazuseba ii
sora ni ukanderu kotoba wo tsukande
MERODeI wo noseta kumo de tabi ni dekakeru
jounentsu no kanata ni nani ga aru ?
ki ni naru kara ikou yo
mado no soto ni kitakaze ga
udegumi suru BIRU no kage ni fuku keredo
bokura wo nosete/ melody wa tsuzuku
kyou datte anata wo omoinagara uta utai wa utau yo
dou yatte anata ni tsutaeyou
ame no yoru mo fuyu no asa mo soba ni ite
HAPPII ENDO no eiga wo ima imeeji shite utau yo
konna ni suteki na kotoba ga aru mijikai kedo kiiteokure yo,/ai shiteru

Ah, singing
It’s not a difficult thing to do
Entrust your body to my voice now
Just empty your mind
Ah, if I close my eyes
I can reflect everything inside my chest
Things like the dear memories I had with you everyday
Truth
They can be found in songs
Even embarrassing words that I can’t say
However today I think back about you and
I wanna sing this song
There are always words I could not say
It’s short but please hear me, I love you
Ah…
Ah, singing
It’s not a difficult thing to do
It’s better that I slowly remove this heart’s blindfold
I catch the words that rise into the sky
Riding the melodies on a cloud
I go out traveling
What is there in this passion’s spot?
Because we can reach this mood, let’s go
With the north wind outside the window
We fold our arms as the wind blows on the building’s shadows
The never ending melody rides on us
However, today I think back about you and I wanna sing this song
Somehow I’m gonna let you know
Even on the rainy nights and in the winter mornings, I’ll be by your side
Now I’m singing with the image of a movie’s happy ending in my head
Although short, there’s such a wonderful word and I want you to hear
I love you…
But I don’t understand Japanese 🙁

AHHHHHHH!! I thought I heard Sakurai’s voice and was wondering where it came from. He rocks!

Listen to this voice now… Inside my head I’m just doing karappo?(Dunno what’s karappo :P) Or is it inside your head? I have a problem differentiating this.
Yea yea I can just google it. But translating it yourself is so much funner 😛

Oh karappo is empty :p And I’m flooding your place with comments hahaha. I’m excited okay

I don’t understand Japanese either. What moves me is the music itself, and Sakurai’s voice (the guy who’s singing). I saw this band play on Animax, and there was English subtitles. Based on the subs, the song is about a guy who don’t know how to express his love best but through a song.
I would appreciate it if you can do an English translation. This song is very old (this is a revival by Bank Band) so I was kinda surprised I cannot find a translation over the internets.
If worst come to worst, I’ll let Google translate it ha ha ha!
I almost forgot that you are a big Mr. Children fan. You want an MP3 of this song? I can point you to a URL where you can get it. =P
Hai arigatou!~

Oh ya, so now you know who Mr. Children is. At least the lead singer. Unless you saw them in the Super Live.

I’ll try to do it over the weekend 🙂 I’ll try hehe.

Yeah, of course I know them. I’m just not a fan. I like Bank Band, though. And Sakurai.
