Full version of the ED song of Slayers Evolution-R, by Hayashibara Megumi.  Sunadokei means hourglass.

Sunadokei / 砂時計

Lyrics : MEGUMI/Composition & arrangement : 矢吹俊郎

悲しみにくれる　魂[こころ]を
救えるものは　なに
自分で自分　追い込んで
砕けた涙に　染まっている

あきらめないことを　知ってる
自分で決めた道　信じてる
それでも拭えない　痛みに
もしも出会ったなら　どうするの

強くなりたい　どんな時も
君の悲しみ受け止められるように

ただ生き続けることさえ
意味を問われている。。。
正解[こたえ]なんてありはしない
ただ顔を上げて歩いてゆく

あきらめ手放した　思い出
くやんで泣いたなら　それでいい
それでも生まれ来る　明日は
容赦のない愛であふれてる

嘘の笑顔を並べるより
君の本当の悲しみを教えて

生れ落ちたその瞬間
誰もが背負うもの
運命と呼ぶのなら
見届けるために歩いてゆく

砂のように流れる
全ての命は

いつまでも嘆かずに
ただ生き抜いてゆけ
みごとに生き抜いた先で
砕けた涙が　力になる

Romaji :

Kanashimi ni kureru kokoro o
Tsukuero mono wa nani
Jibun de jibun iikonde
Kudaketa namida ni somatteiru

Akiramenai koto o shitteiru
Jibun de kimeta michi shinjiteru
Soredemo nuguenai itami ni
Moshimo deatta nara dousuruno

Tsuyoku naritai donna toki mo
Kimi no kanashimi uketomerareru youni

Tada ikitsuzukeru koto sae
Imi o towareteiru…
Kotae nante ari wa shinai
Tada kao o agete aruiteyuku

Akirame tebanashita omoide
Kuyande naita nara, sore de ii
Soredemo umarekuru ashita wa
Yousha no nai ai de afureteru

Uso no egao o naraberu yori
Kimi no hontou no kanashimi o oshiete

Umareochita sono shunkan
Daremo ga seou mono
Unmei to yobu no nara
Mitodokeru tame ni aruiteyuku

Suna no youni nagareru
Subete no inochi wa

Itsumademo nagekazu ni
Tada ikinuiteyuke
Migoto ni ikinuita saki de
Kudaketa namida ga chikara ni naru

Translation :

What can help a soul which gives in to sorrow?
Guiding himself, dyed with the familiar tears.

I know that you won’t give up.
Beliving in the way that you have chosen yourself.
But even then, what will you do if you come accross a pain that you can not get rid off?

I want to be strong, any time,
so that I can take your sorrow.

I just continue on living, questioning its meaning…
A correct answer does not exist.
I just raise my head and walk.

Resignation without restraint, memories.
If you regret it and cried, that is fine.
Even then, the future that will be created will be one overflowing with merciless love.

Instead of setting up a fake smile, tell me your real sorrow.

The moment of being degenerated, is something that everyone bears.
If you call it fate, then walk to ascertain it.

All lifes are flowing like sands.

Instead of forever being wretched, by just surviving,
at the end of that survival, the familiar tears becomes strength.

The OP single of Slayers Evolution-R by Hayashibara Megumi. Lyric translation will be added latter, but you might want to check the lyric translation of the TV version on my previous post. Lyric translation added.

Front Breaking

Lyric : MEGUMI/Composition : 佐藤英敏/Arrangement : 五島　翔

ゆるぎのない　その瞳
見据えている先で
あきれるほどの憤り
渦巻いていても

何度だって何度でも
人は立ち上がれる
生き与えられた命
とことん使って

手のひらで燃える熱い炎は
心の奥の奥で
誰もが持ってる　力

遠い未来への迷いよりも
今、目の前にある現実
一つ一つ砕いたなら
ただの砂に変わる
なりふりかまっちゃいられない
正面突破で行こう

眠る間もなくいきづく
傾いた世界で
心の使い方すら
戸惑う日もある

くり返し、くり返される
マニュアルめいた返答[こたえ]
あきらめ上手のふりして
何を見ているの

本当は言われなくても知ってる
上手な言い訳ほど
意味を持たないことを

遠い過去はもう悔やまず行こう
今、目の前にある景色を
一つ一つ受け止めよう
痛みをになっても
たとえ世界が滅んだって
私はあなたを選ぶ

遠い未来への迷いよりも
今、目の前にある現実
一つ一つ砕いたなら
ただの砂に変わる
なりふりかまっちゃいられない
正面突破で行こう
災い転じて粘り勝ち
最後の最後まで行こう

Romaji :

Translation :

That unwavering eyes, gazing into the future.
Even if a deep resentment swirls.

No matter how many times, people can stand up.
The life you’ve gained, use it until the very end..

The hot burning flame in the palm of your hand,
is a strength everyone have deep inside their heart.

Instead of hesitating about something far in the future.
The reality that is before your eyes, right now,
if you break it one by one, it will be nothing more than sand.
You can’t be concerned about appearance.
Let’s break through from the front.

Gasping without time to sleep, in this declining world.
Even if you only use your heart, there are days where you’ll be bewildered.

Repeated, and being repeated.
Manual type of reply.
Consolation, a skillfull shake off.
What are you watching?

Truthfuly, you know even without being told.
A clever explanation, for something without meaning.

Let’s go without regretting the far away past.
Right now, let’s take all the scenery in front of our eyes one by one.
Even if it’s become a pain.
Even if the world is destroyed, I’ll choose you.

Instead of hesitating about something far in the future.
The reality that is before your eyes, right now,
if you break it one by one, it will be nothing more than sand.
You can’t be concerned about appearance.
Let’s break through from the front.
Evading calamity, comes out victorious.
Let’s go until the very end.

It’s been a while since I post here. This time it’s an Opening of the new Slayers series, Slayers Evolution-R aired today ( Jan 12th ‘09). Not really impressed the first time I listened to this song, but after a few times, it’s actually quite good.  Here’s the lyric :

Front Breaking

揺るぎのないその瞳　見据えている先で
呆れるほどの憤り　渦巻いていても
何度だって何度でも人は立ち上がれる
行き与えられた命　とことん使って
手の平で燃える熱い炎は
心の奥の奥で　誰もが持ってる力
遠い未来への迷いよりも　今目の前に有る現実
一つ一つ砕いたなら　ただの砂に変わる
形振り構っちゃいられない
正面突破で行こう
Front Breaking
遠い未来への迷いよりも
今目の前に有る現実
一つ一つ砕いたなら

Yurugi no nai sono hitomi
Misueteiru saki de
Akireru hodo no ikidoori

Nando datte nando demo

The opening theme song of Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsuna Koto : Natsu no Sora
I’ve tried to write down the lyrics a couple of weeks ago, but there were too many parts which is rather confusing so I didn’t publish it on the blog. This is the lyrics written in the CD booklet.
Edit : I added the English translation of this song

Fly Away

Lyrics : thyme
Composition & Arrangements : 清水哲平

Kanji lyrics
good night Days, good old Days
帰らないと誓った日から　眠らせた記憶
ah knock on the Days, good old Days
会いたくなるなんて　悔しかった　強がってたのね
続いてくUp and Down　ここでそっと寄り道　see you again

あの坂を登ったら見える景色　夏のdrive好きだった
風の匂いもBGMも　全てが　今も記憶の中

駆け出した坂道で　錆びた[closed]越えfly away

good night Days, good old Days
帰らないと誓った日から　眠らせた記憶
ah knock on the Days, good old Days
会いたくなるなんて　悔しかった　強がってたのね

憧れの場所　戦場という真実　コワイ顔ばかりなの
オブジェみたいに高層ビル囲も木が　［仕方ない］って笑った

飛び出したあの街は　あったかい記憶のままかなぁ？

good night Days, good old Days
帰らないと誓った日から　眠らせた記憶
ah knock on the Days, good old Days
会いたくなるなんて　悔しかった　強がってたのね

それだけじゃ足りないってこと知ったの
重たくなって倒れたって
離さないのは　あの日。。。

good night Days, good old Days
飛びたいと願った日から　強くなる約束

good night Days, good old Days
帰らないと誓った日から　眠らせた記憶

English translation
Good night days, good old days
The memories that is sealed-up since the day I swore that I won’t return
Ah knock on the days, good old days
To miss someone was mortifying, I pretended to be strong
Continuing up and down, here quietly I’m going home, see you again

The scenery that can be seen if I climb that hill, I loved the summer drive
The smell of the wind, the BGM, I remember it all even now

I started to run at the hill road, surpassing the [closed] sign, fly away

Good night days, good old days
The memories that is sealed-up since the day I swore that I won’t return
Ah knock on the days, good old days
To miss someone was mortifying, I pretended to be strong
If I stand here, I can see it, the blue canvas where I draw my dream, see you again

The place I yearn for, the reality called battlefield, is full of scary face
The tree that is surrounded by skyscrapers like an object, just said “can’t be helped,” and laughed

The town where I came from, will it continue to stay as a warm memory?

Good night days, good old days
The memories that is sealed-up since the day I swore that I won’t return
Ah knock on the days, good old days
To miss someone was mortifying, I pretended to be strong
Continuing up and down, here quietly I’m going home

Just one thing, the bag that became filled just with hope
Did you know that that’s not enough
If it becomes heavy, and I collapse
The thing I won’t let go of is that day…

Good night days, good old days
I promised to be strong since the day I wished that I could fly,

Good night days, good old days
The memories that is sealed-up since the day I swore that I won’t return
Ah knock on the days, good old days
To miss someone was mortifying, but I pretended to be strong
Again I climb up the hill, the blue canvas where I will draw my dream, see you again
Continuing up and down, here quietly I’m going home, see you again

Summer vacation time has come ). I’ll seldom be online, probably just 1-2 hours a week.

For the Shakugan no Shana 2 audio drama, I’ve decided the next title that I will translate. It’s the first audio drama on the 3rd CD, Hirai-ke tate komori jiken (Hirai house hostage situation). Imagine what will happen if a normal human criminal (a rather stupid one) is hostaging 3 flamehaze and a mystes.

Oh, one more thing. Tomorrow, Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsuna Koto : Natsu no Sora OST Opening Single by THYME will be released, I think I’ll go and buy it…:D

The OST of Slayers Revolution, the continuation of the Slayers series which is aired this summer. I was planning to translate this song, but some part of this song made me confused. Some notes, 現実 (genjitsu : reality) is read as shinkirou (mirage), 魂 (tamashii) is read as inochi, 理想 (risou) is read as omoi, 未来 (mirai) is read as ashita, and 根性 (konjyou) is read as chikara)

Plenty of grit

Lyrics : MEGUMI
Arrangements : 佐藤 英敏
Composition:大平　勉

吹きあれる風が　髪をすり抜けていく
この瞳に　映る現実

光と闇の狭間　生まれた　魂
今再び　立ち向かう時と

時代を映す鏡さえ　ひび割れ砕けて
それでも生きてる　求めてやまない　愛を叫んでる

断ち切れない　理想抱いて　人はさ迷い続ける
立ちはだかる壁見上げるより
打ち崩す術はあると　幻は打ち払って
いつだって　今ここがはじまり

くり返す日々に　置き忘れた願い
目を伏せても本当は知ってる

強さと弱さ　優しさと傷跡
ゆらぐ心　打ち消したくって

彩られたこの街並み　さみしさ隠せず
それでも生きてる
明日を乗り越える力　求めてる

強がってる　その脆さも　ひっくるめて　愛したい
涙の跡消せない痛みも
受け止めて　忘れないで　そして未来が変わるよ
呼び起こせ　眠ってる　根性を

断ち切れない　理想抱いて　人はさ迷い続ける
立ちはだかる壁見上げるより
打ち崩す術はあると　幻は打ち払って
いつだって　今ここがはじまり

Lyrics without kanji
ふきあれるかぜが　かみをすりぬけていく
このひとみに　うつるしんきろう

ひかりとやみのはざま　うまれた　いのち
いまふたたび　たちむかうときと

じだいをうつすかがみさえ　ひびわれくだけて
それでもいきてる　もとめてやまない　あいをさけんでる

たちきれない　おもいだいて　ひとはさまよいつづける
たちはだかるかべみあげるより
うちくずすすべはあると　まぼろしはうちはらって
いつだって　いまここがはじまり

くりかえすひびに　おきわすれたねがい
めをふせてもほんとうはしってる

つよさとよわさ　やさしさときずあと
ゆらぐこころ　うちけしたくって

いろどられたこのまちなみ　さみしさかくせず
それでもいきてる
あすをのりこえるちから　もとめてる

つよがってる　そのもろさも　ひっくるめて　あいしたい
なみだのあとけせないいたみも
うけとめて　わすれないで　そしてあしたがかわるよ
よびおこせ　ねむってる　ちからを

たちきれない　おもいだいて　ひとはさまよいつづける
たちはだかるかべみあげるより
うちくずすすべはあると　まぼろしはうちはらって
いつだって　いまここがはじまり

The opening OST of Sekirei, a manga based anime that is aired starting Summer 2008. Some notes on the lyrics, 未来 (mirai) is read as ashita, and 閃光 (senkou) is read as hikari. I can’t say anything about the anime since I haven’t watch it, yet. I’ve saw the trailer, and it seems good. Although I’m a little bit worried about the ending, because, as far as I know, the manga is still ongoing. This anime is of course a little bit ecchi since it’s based on a rather ecchi manga. Some keywords of this anime : Megane-ko, Rori, Tsundere, harem, action, comedy, ecchi, etc. Some fansubbers are already taking this anime as their project, Titanium, … (dotdotdot), musubi, chihiro, and genjou I think. I don’t know much about the new fansubbers (Titanium, …, and Musubi), but Genjou have no finished project (all their old project are stalled), while Chihiro at least have DC II finished.

今いのちが　ほら　萌して散ってゆく
握りしめた運命　もう迷うことはない

Hmm, there are some good serials of anime that is starting to be aired this summer. Three serials that I was anticipating are Zero no Tsukaima 3, Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto : Natsu no Sora, and Blade of The Immortal.
Zero no Tsukaima 3’s story starts as slow as the previous season’s, I hope it gets better. For those waiting for the subbed version, rejoice, it seems that SS-Eclipse is taking this serial as their new project. They already released 2 episodes this week, with two version, the HQ (x264 1280×720) and the SD one (I remember there was a time when 640×480 is considered as HQ…).
Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto : Natsu no Sora, the opening OST is nice, some of the BGM are also good, I guess that’s expected of Mahou Tsukai ni Taisetsu na Koto. I got the same feeling as watching Someday’s Dreamer when watching Natsu no Sora. Although I feel that there’s something a little bit different. I just watched one episode so there’s not much I can say about the story, all I can say is that the main character is Sora and the story is not clear yet ( I think I need to find the manga…). The group fansubbing this anime, as far as I know, are Rumi and AnY-Conclave.
Blade of the Immortal, the manga is a must read, you’ll get a different feeling reading this manga compared to other manga. Although the anime is little bit of a let down (at least from the first episode), it is still nice to have one of my favorite manga to be adapted to anime. The group fansubbing is KSN, this group also fansubbing Kateikyoushi Hitman Reborn. Although, for KHR I think the SHS-FoSu version is more popular.
