[Translation] そのSwitchを押せ / Koshi Inaba
I don't think this song has been uploaded ANYWHERE, so no video for this one D: But if you really want the song, tell me, I can send you :) (I doubt if there's any LOL)
Again, same as 冷血 and くちびる, this song is too from the album "マグマ" If you ask me which is my favourite album of all times, I can tell you, "マグマ" will be my answer :)
そのSwitchを押せ is the third track of the album, a weird song, but extremely appealing to me :) The lyric is a bit surreal I guess? Not sure on how to phrase it. Okay in simple words, hard to translate again :(
----------------------------------
そのSwitchを押せ/稲葉浩志 sono Switch wo o se/Koshi Inaba
詞.曲 : 稲葉浩志
流れおちゆく涙に だれか気づいておくれ 窓辺でたそがれてるから あったかい声をかけてくれ
Who will take notice of the cascading tears? Soft callings are coming from the windowpanes Twilight is approaching
Why on earth are you being so jubilant? As if every thing's alright when your wounds stop to swell and slit open Take a rest doesn't sound that bad Then how about pressing that switch?
Even if I made a sudden repentance, I will be condoned with magnanimous gesture right? I will gain ultimate courage right? So why not try pressing that switch?
Wow yeah 小さな無数の分岐点に立ち 見えない無数のボタンを押してきた
Wow yeah Standing in the midst of countless of discrepancies And pressing countless of invisible intricate switches
There are situations where I am bogged down and regardless of right or wrong Whatever the alive self felt, like that, it will be the best if I could feel freedom Pondering over choices that differ by little All of these are chained to form happiness Then how about pressing that switch?
You need not be so careworn As everyone has a lot of similar vexations as well Start to accept the only truth and steel that kind of spirit yeah Whoever else devotes the best of his own ability for the sake of himself What he wants to gain again is just pleasure If this is a unrepeatable and unparalleled continuum Then how about pressing that switch?
Hmm, a sexy song. くちびる means "lips" in Japanese, pronounced as "Kuchibiru" Koshi's live performance of this song is damn fucking alluring. Okay スッゲエロい, I can feel the hotness of this song whenever I listened to. Yup, my lousy translation again. Kindly point out my mistakes :) Thank you :)
Woman, gazing at me who can't even look into your eyes Oh woman, exhilarated due to the brewing repugnant Like a delicate animal running for survival, I am innocent I am simply impotent at the moment when you are at my side
あなたのくちびるなら骨までとろけてもいい 火が出るほど狂うほどに 肌と肌すりあわせて 夢の中
It's alright even your lips melt me right to the bones In a dream where skin rub against skin Like a fire bursting out from inside without sane
Hey Woman この世の理不尽を 優しく抱いて What a woman 答えられないクエスチョン ほほえみながら 投げかける
Hey woman, you embrace the unjustifiable of this world What a woman, you beamed and threw this unanswerable question to me

笑ってよ。
Listening: 泣いて泣いてなきやんだら / B'z
I am back in Taiwan. When I landed, I felt a sudden urge of crying. One bad thing about being such a sentimental person huh? But I quite enjoyed the process, since life should be full of ups and downs. I miss my friends, I can't name them one by one since there are too many. Just know one thing, I love you :) You guys are so sweet :) Simply my pleasure and my fortune to meet, laugh, get in trouble, pull through troubles with you all :) And by the way Gen, your birthday present is the first thing I bought in Taiwan :) I hope you like it though :)
I finished my Chinese holiday homework on plane, although the flight wasn't a smooth one at all, and I vomited a few times. Basically my composition is about my sakura/Kyoto obsessionOvO
How's my recent blogskin? I like the colour scheme used by the creator, simple and awesome :) I made the banner, yup the failure OvO
Long time since I last updated my blog. All this while I was trying to translate this piece of lyric. Yeah it's tough, but somehow I enjoyed answering this so-called 'test paper' given by Koshi :)
冷血, pronounced as Reiketsu in Japanese, means "Cold blooded/Cold blood" I was kind of shock when I came across the album that included this song. The title is "マグマ"(Magma), and somehow the tracks in the album kind of responded to the album title in one way or another. I would say it's pretty Indies, and I like it a lot, can see that this album is what Koshi really want to do, Jazz influenced rock, Bossa Nova, etc. Yes, the lyrics. It's...awesome, and really I mean it. One word: Maniac Most of the lyrics in the album are actually quite dark, but I like it, I mean it is so rare seeing his lyrics like that, isn't it?
By the way I am sadden by the fact that there are B'z fans who totally ignored Koshi's lyrics, and even regard his voice as irritating, gay and all sorts of nasty stuff. I mean, if there's no Koshi, Tak can forget on being famous, same thing applies to Koshi.
Anyway I will start my translation now, inform me if I have any mistakes, thanks :) It is really a difficult one to translate. I know the meaning but I just couldn't express the thoughts of despair that the song wants to convey.
You live in the way you wanted to I do what I desire Those who thirst to know what freedom really is It is just what fits with your mind Respect individuals and then liberate others Made a promise with solitary Never be angonised at others and win everyone's favourism Escape wisely will be the most important thing to do
While throwing away all the naive thoughts, walk here Can't realise what you lost Can't have a good beginning nor a good ending Forgetting everything one by one, At the same time merely dreamt on Souls who can't be coherent in or out(?) From now on they will...always...always

雨男達 = B'z
Listening: Magnet / Kaito X Ka1to
I PASSED MY 2.4KM NAPFA RUN!:D Yeah people, thank you for cheering me when I was running. THANK YOU BIG BIG! Love Ya!
Hmm, CIP yesterday was quite successful. We sang songs although our speaker died half way ;D Everyone enjoyed themselves, yeah I think most of them did. We made some modifications to the lyrics of Bad Romance, the "vertical stick" part to "strawberry cake" Haha, so random :D
Currently I am obsessed/addicted to making wallpapers using photoshop :D The size isn't fixed every time, I am too lazy to crop and adjust.

ワタシのイチブ、キミのゼンブ
Listening: BAD COMMUNICATION / イナブロウ
I am so screwed for Maths portfolio. I don't even want to mention the reason why.
WHAT THE HELL! NAPHA THIS WEEK D: Ask me die? You want me to die so much? I don't want to die this way man no way. Firstly, I will surely fail for the SBJ, then for the run, it's just depend solely on luck. And I have been pretty unlucky these days so don't bother mentioning.
-------------
※Click to enlarge :) Photo credits to F.Matsumotoさん I made this within 15 minutes, yes I do rock. If you want, feel free to click, save, and use it :) "キレイなあいじゃなくても" means "Even if it is not a beautiful love" Somehow I just love the song so much, it's not the typical rock ballad. And I find it hard for me to describe it so forget it man. Koshi looks really melancholic in this photograph, but in fact, most of the times he does. Hope you like it :)
I am deeply obsessed with the song "Fake Lips".
In fact I fell in love with the entire album,
although it sounds out-dated to many.
The lyric is a mixture of English and Japanese,
which makes it very hard to picture
the actual meaning of the song.
And that is why Koshi was criticised
in the early years of his career as a lyricist.
But I think we can't blame him for that,
since he was so used to English songs
that he found it awkward to sing in his own native language.

Last Friday was awesome,
Wen Pin and I were singing "太陽のKOMACHI ANGEL",
A very nostalgic(?) kind of Japanese Dance Rock music in the 90s
that was featured in Gintama XD"
The song is extremely catchy, with such a distinctive title...
Well Koshi is famous for writing lyrics for songs with weird titles...
あの子は太陽の小町ANGEL!!!!!!!ANO KO WA TAIYOU NO KOMACHI ANGEL!!!! Man I want to sing this song for CIP on Tuesday D:
By the way,
I REALLY HATE AND DESPISE
PEOPLE WHO DISDAIN OLD MUSIC as if you have a much better taste in music than me.
During Library,
I showed Kylie Koshi's picture.
She was surprised that Koshi doesn't have botox
to look so young till this age.
And she said he is hot XD"
I love you Kylie <3
---------------
Hmm, I played with photoshop just now,
And this is my end product:
My new forum and twitter display picture? :) Yes, this is great. I love the nostalgic feel of the picture.
And Koshi looks so sexy in this picture 8D
*He is always sexy :D*
I should make one for Tak also,
but I can't find anything similar to this one D:
This one is something I made together with the display picture. I want to use it as my signature picture but it is simply too large
to be one D:
この手をとって走り出して means "Hold (your) hand and walk forward" Sorry for my crappy translation...D:

幻の命/世界の終わり
As an ultimate (self-claimed) J-POP fan, I will want to start this kind of recommendation program in my blog, Main purpose is to: 1) Increase people's knowledge on J-POP, J-POP is not just about Visual Kei, but still many other stuff which I think are worth my time. 2) Sharing and exchanging. If you think there are some very nice songs that you want to share, tell me okay! And I will listen, and maybe write a short review (In Chinese preferably) for you :) Although I think no one will support this since this blog is sort of private or known within my social circle (AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, J-POP IS SUCH A MINORITY IN SINGAPORE DAMN)
===========
Okay, let's get started.
I will start with this band which had just debuted not so long time ago. The name is 世界の終わり, which means the End Of The World. I came across them when I was browsing through WHAT's IN? last week, I read the album review, kinda interested thus I decided to check them out yeah. I ain't disappointed at all, in fact, surprised. Their music is such a perfect combination of Techno and Rock, and they really make full use of the instruments. The lyrics are really enjoyable to read as well, at first without the lyrics (Sorry I suck in listening compre) I thought the song is going to talk about something optimistic, however, the lyrics turned out to be the opposite.
"白い病院で「死んだ」僕達の子供は 「もうこの世界にはいない」のに何で何も感じないんだろう" This part really makes me think that the song is about life and death LOL.
So I hope you enjoy this song. If anything to correct me on, feel free to tag me!

ヤマブキイロ
Listening: 初恋 / 村下孝蔵
I can't stand it. Seriously I can't. Some people are really hypocritical, I know my forum ID is called 'Hypocritical' as well, but I don't really think I am one. They are people who suit this adjective more. And like duh, that makes me shiver and tremble. They smile at you, console you. Then, at a place you aren't around, they start to talk about nasty things to wound your reputation. I don't know how things work, I don't know what is their intention. Probably just to hurt, probably just to make your heart throb and bleed.
=========
Jolene L., Last time you asked me if anyone has a crush on me right? And I answered 'no', you didn't believe me and asked me why. I couldn't answer you at that moment, but I can now. My answer to you is : I am too insignificant to be loved, to be treasured by somebody.
