I just realized I haven't translated Otonoha for a very long time... I'm so sorry but I really didn't notice it. ;__;
Anyway, this is Sho chan's latest entry! ^__^


( vol.37 - involving confirmation )

A little love letter

vol.50




Hi~ ♪



It became warm, isn't it. [nd.Mami: it ISN'T!! It's so COLD recently here >_<]



I'm happy



There's also only 1 month left for my drama



It passed in a flash (but shootings took really long time)...

Anyway, in order to act Vito until the end, I want to take care of my form.

I want you to feel the theme of "Smile" until the end.

Please, watch it until the end.



Talking about Arashi, we released our new single "Ashita no kioku / Crazy Moon ~kimi wa muteki~"



I heard from staff that a lot of people listened to it!!

Thank you all

The fact that you listen to our songs it's a pleasure and it's moving.

Doing a work that influences others...

there's nothing happier that that.

And after spreading my happiness to you, I'll do my best!! I will go on thinking about it

it's a multiplier effect.



The other day, in several mails I received to my radio program (I always read all of your mails! Thank you!!) there were a lot of requests from people who want us to sing this song during our next live



Everyone's feelings for our 10th anniversary are strong

You supported us for all these 10 years and we're thinking about a way to respond to these feelings with all our gratitude



Arashi won't end at its 10th year and will keep moving on.

I want to communicate this feeling to as many people as I can.




Tomorrow is a new day, make it precious...


together



See you

A supporting song


Hi.
It's me.

Today I went to the location for Nippon terebi's "Touch!eco" and visited older people's houses.

I haven't gone there since "Mayonaka no Arashi" with the announcer Hattori.

A 200 year old Japanese house... it's an ecological house built using the power of nature, and certainly knows what an ecological life is.

In the elementary school next door children were wearing gymnastic clothes and doing exercises.

While cleaning up the place I was talking with the landlord.

Sakurai: "200 year old, it must be a place filled with a lot of memories"

Landlord: "So it is. There are memories of my childhood and other people of this town..."

We heard music coming from the elementary school next door.










"Kaze no mukou e"





Oh...

What a long time! Kaze no mukou e!!

Good timing...

Just when Arashi's Sakurai Sho come to the Nihon terebi location they really play "Kaze no mukou e".

It's a curious coincidence, and I wonder if someone told them about me.

Then, while we were cleaning up they kept supporting us for a few hours with "Kaze no mukou e".

Well...
I heard it after a long time but it's a good song.

It makes you feel refreshed. Refreshed.

It's an encouraging song. (<- teacher. Recently he always says these words)

While seeing them wearing their gymnastic clothes and dancing hard an original coreography made by their teacher, tears ran down my face.

"They used 'Kaze no mukou e' during their gymnastic exercises"

It was the first time for me to see with my eyes something I occasionally hear talking about, I was really happy.

This is what I thought watching those children dancing.

Teacher.
Please, choose Arashi again next year (♥).

Sakurai Sho

And here, "One Love" translation too! ^_^



One Love
(music: Yusuke Kato - lyrics: youth case)


I want to tell you something but I can't say it, we who overcome the season
where sometimes we shared tears without being able to be honest, now we are sparkling so much

The shapes of happiness each of us painted overlapping
have become now a big love
let's live together forever

Even a hundred years from now, I swear my love, you're my everything
I believe, I just believe, to the person who shares a common time with me
Every kind of you, and every kind of me, each of them are precious
if you are with me I don't need anything else, because we'll surely be happy

I was waiting for you in the rain, without even knowing the meaning of kindness
the night when missing each other we've been hurt, but we still arrived here

Our irreplaceable encounter is connecting to a miracle
our memories overlap
ant the song of the beginning resounds

To the friends who supported us in every moment, who smiled and cried with us
the only word I can say them, from the bottom of my heart, is "thank you"

Even a hundred years from now, I swear my love, you're my everything
I love you, I just love you, let's promise a common future
the only one person I chose in this world it's you
if I'm with you, no matter what kind of future is waiting for me, because we'll always shine

La La La...

As I've already translated it for the subbed video, and today's weather really makes me think that summer has gone (sigh.. ;__;).. I decided to  post "Kaze" translation here...


KAZE [wind]
(music: Shinya Ota - lyrics: SPIN - rap lyrics: Sho Sakurai)


While embracing each others lying down on the beach
somehow the cloudless sky looks lonely, so, surely
we ran through a short summer
someday the colour of our suntan will disappear, it's sad, like we're going to forget about this moment

I was looking the sunset reflecting myself, trying
to say "Thank you" without getting embarassed

Throwing everything away stop the time to this moment once again
if you believe that the dreams we painted and our wishes are going to start, we can fly
When someday we're going to meet here again and talk
the waves will wrap our own winds and the footsteps of the days we journeyed

Our dreams were floating on the horizon
it's sad to watch them cheating the meaning of life, eternally

Even today the unfulfilled dreams will become stars
and shine on the endless sea

And with this feelings summer goes on, I'm not self-confident but
if I feel my feelings are the sky and our promises are clouds, I can fly away
When someday we're going to meet here again and talk
the waves will wrap today's wind and a universe's tiny moment

The short summer is coming to end
I'm just looking to the beach
now, the blue is filled in like this
even now, the sky is looking at us

When we'll gather again talking about the fact that we were troubled and laughing
we'll light up the adorned ourselves
we'll light up that day's sunset
embracing the shy days the wind is wrapping me

Throwing everything away stop the time to this moment once again
if you believe that the dreams we painted and our wishes are going to start, we can fly
When someday we're going to meet here again and talk
the waves will wrap our own winds and the footsteps of the days we journeyed

I translated this song for my boyfriend, and because I think it's one of Laruku's best songs of the last years I decided to make an English translation too and share it with everyone. ^_^




Now, my English is not good at all and this is the first time for me translating a song from Japanese to English. And translating a song is not as simple as translating an interview or staff like that. At least I think so. So please, if you think it's a bad translation (and me too, I think so XD) don't blame me. ;__; Just try to enjoy the lyrics, I think you should understand its meaning even from my bad translation. ^^;;;;

I swear, I'm doing my best to improve my English. >__<
