Ho trovato questa canzone per sbaglio guardando uno dei video consigliati dal buon caro vecchio youtube. Mi è piaciuta tantissimo, così ho pensato di metterla qua. Fa parte della colonna di Gundam Seed Destiny, una delle serie legata ai famosi robottoni che sono stati protagonisti dell’infanzia di molti di noi. Io avevo già adorato parecchio Gundam Wing a tempo suo, forse provo a cercare di procurarmi anche questo che sembra piuttosto promettente. La canzone è stata composta dalla bravissima Yuki Kaijura (come sempre quando trovo una colonna sonora giapponese bella *_*), ma è stata una coincidenza trovarla

Metto in spoiler il testo sia in giapponese che in inglese come sempre, per chi vuole cantarla e/o capirla.

Testo giapponese

kizutsuita yubi de akatsuki no DOOR wo hiraku yo
ashita wo kono te de erabitoru to kimeta kara

kaze yo ima tsuyoku
kono mi ni matotta homura wo sasaete

tobira no mukou e
yasashii te wo furikazashite
namida wo ubau yo
mouichido ai wo shinjiru tame ni

chiisaku matataku
are wa dare wo okuru hikari
sora ni saku hana wo kodomotachi wa yubisashite

kieta chihei eto
kibou no tane wo sagashini tobitatsu

sugiyuku yuunagi
kanashimi yo ima wa shizuka ni
watashi wo mimamotte
itsuka mata furusato e kaeru
sono hi made

nageki no daichi ni akai ame wa furisosogu
kaze no naku koe wa kurai honoo wo aotte

sore wa tooi yakusoku

furueru mune wo douka sasaete
my dear……

honoo no tobira e
yasashii te wo furikazashite
ashita wo ubau yo
mouichido ai wo shiritai, kokoro kara
ima hiraku
unmei no sora

Traduzione Inglese

I will open the door of daybreak with my wounded fingers,
Because these hands are the ones that will decide tomorrow.

The strong wind is blowing,
Fanning up the blaze that surrounds my body.

Pass through the door.
Holding up your gentle hands,
You steal my tears,
So I can trust love once more.

That tiny twinkle,
It is a light that sees someone off.
The children point at the flowers blooming in the skies.

I’m taking off on a search for the seeds of hope,
Towards the vanished horizon.

The passing evening calm,
As sorrow turns into tranquility,
I watch over.
Perhaps I will return to my hometown someday.
Until that day comes…

Red rain pours down on the lamenting earth.
The cry of the wind stirs up dark flames.

That’s a distant promise,
That familiar voice,
Please let it calm my trembling chest.
my dear……

Towards the door of flames,
Holding up your gentle hands,
You take away tomorrow.
I want to know love once more, love from the heart.
It opens now,
The skies of destiny.

- April Rain -

How does it feel when all youre counting on is scattering
Every wind that you have sailed upon, a hurricane
Every summer you have seen was filled with april rain
It doesnt get easy, dont you know
Fortune smiles on you
Youre not watching, dig that hole deeper
Fortune smiles on you
Youre not watching, create your own fate
Count your blessings and prepare to change your point of view
All those days that you spend waiting wont come back to you
Take off the glasses that have treated your world black and grey
It doesnt get easy, dont you know
Fortune smiles on you
Youre not watching, dig that hole deeper
Fortune smiles on you
Youre not watching, create your own fate
Keep raining
Cause we are blind, cause we are tired, ’cause we are blind to fortunes guidance now
It keeps raining, cause we are blind, it will keep raining, cause we are tired
It keeps raining, cause we are blind oh, it will keep raining cause we are tired
Fortune smiles on you
Youre not watching, dig that hole deeper
Fortune smiles on you

Antichissima canzone, risalente all’infanzia quasi. Mi è tornata in mente parlando di musica con un amico, che diceva di non apprezzare i video musicali e gli ho citato questo. In effetti è forse uno dei miei preferiti in assoluto. Lascio all’ascolto e allego il testo (lo metto come spoiler che è davvero lungo):

And I would do anything for love,
I’d run right into hell and back,
I would do anything for love,
I’ll never lie to you and thats a fact.

But I’ll never forget the way you feel right now
- Oh no -
- No way -
And I would do anything for love,
But I won’t do that,
No I won’t do-

Anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won’t do that,
No I won’t do that

And some days it don’t come easy,
And some days it don’t come hard
Some days it don’t come at all,
And these are the days that never end.

And some nights you’re breathing fire,
And some nights you’re carved in ice,
Some nights you’re like nothing I’ve ever
Seen before, or will again.

And maybe I’m crazy,
Oh it’s crazy and it’s true,
I know you can save me,
No one else can save me now but you.

As long as the planets are turning,
As long as the stars are burning,
As long as your dreams are coming true-
You better believe it!

That I would do anything for love!
And I’ll be there till the final act
And I would do anything for love!
And I’ll take the vow and seal a pact

But I’ll never forgive myself if we don’t go all the way,
Tonight.

And I would do anything for love!
Oh I would do anything for love!
Oh I would do anything for love!
But I won’t do that!
No I won’t do that!

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do that…

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do that…

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do that…

And some days I pray for Silence,
And some days I pray for Soul,
Some days I just pray to the God
Of Sex and Drums and Rock ‘N’ Roll.

And some nights I lose the feeling
And some nights I lose control
Some nights I just lose it all
When I watch you dance and the thunder rolls

And maybe I’m lonely,
That’s all I’m qualified to be,
There’s just one and only,
One and only promise I can keep.

As long as the wheels are turning,
As long as the fires are burning,
As long as your prayers are coming true
You better believe it!

That I would do anything for love!
And you know it’s true and thats a fact,
I would do anything for love!
And there’ll never be no turning back

But I’ll never do it better than I do it with you,
So long
So long

And I would do anything for love,
Oh, I would do anything for love,
I would do anything for love,
But I won’t do that, No,
No. No, I won’t do that!

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do that…

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do that…

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do that…

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do that…

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do that…

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do that…

I would do anything for love,
Anything you’ve been dreaming of,
But I just won’t do…

But I’ll never stop dreaming of you every night of my life,
No way

And I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love,
But I won’t do that,
No I won’t do that.

Girl: Will you raise me up?
Will you help me down?
Will you help get me right out of this Godforsaken town?
Will you make it all a little less cold?

Meat Loaf: I can do that!
I can do that!

Girl: Will you hold me sacred,
Will you hold me tight.
Will you colorize my life,
I’m so sick of black and white!
Can you make it all a little less old.

Meat Loaf: I can do that!
Oh, Oh, I can do that!

Girl: Will you make me some magic with your own two hands?
Can you build an Emerald city with these grains of sand?
Can you give me something I can take home?

Meatloaf: I can do that
I can do that

Girl: Will you cater to every fantasy I’ve got?
Will ya hose me down with holy water -- If I get too hot?
Will you take me to places I’ll never know?

Meat Loaf: I can do that!
I can do that!

Girl: After a while you’ll forget everything,
Just a brief interlude, and a mid-summer night’s fling,
Then you’ll see that it’s time to move on.

Meat Loaf: I won’t do that.
I won’t do that.

Girl: I know the territory -- I’ve been around,
It’ll all turn to dust and we’ll all fall down,
Sooner or later you’ll be screwing around.

Meat Loaf: I won’t do that!
No I won’t do that!

Anything for love,
Oh I would do anything for love!
I would do anything for love!
But I won’t do that!
No I won’t do that…

Ho sentito questa canzone puramente per sbaglio, di tanto in tanto navigo per un’oretta su youtube seguendo i link consigliati da un video con l’altro e qualche volta scopro belle cose. Questa credo che sia la sigla di chiusura di Outlaw Star, un anime che non ho mai visto ma che son ora tentato di cercare.

Della canzone mi piace molto sia la voce che la parte strumentale, e del video adoro davvero le immagini. Uno stile di disegno davvero molto molto bello secondo me.

Lascio il testo per chi vuole canticchiarla:

oto no nai mahiru
kaze ha tada akarui
sukoshi nemutasou ni
hanabira ga yureta
nani ge nai kono omoi
nee, hito ha donna kotoba de yondeiru no
shiroi suna no tsuki
toji kometa hanashi o
hikari furasu you ni
kikasete ne  sotto
itsuka shiru toki ga kuru no?  mune no itami o
soshite ima yori yasashiku naru no ne
atatakai kono omoi
nee, hito ha donna namae de yondeiru no
shiroi suna no tsuki
mabushikute mienai
tooi mirai no koto
kikasete ne  sotto

e relativa traduzione in inglese per chi vuole capirla:

One soundless mid-day,
the wind was so cheerful.
Flower petals sway in the breeze
as if they were sleepy.
This serene feeling…
Tell me, what’s the word people use for it?
Tell me a story that’s locked away
in the white-sand moon.
Let me hear it
as gently as light shining down…
Will the time come? When you will know the pain in my heart?
Then you’d be able to be gentler than you are now.
Such a warm feeling…
Tell me, what’s the name that people give to it?
Softly, let me hear
of the distant future,
so bright it can’t be seen,
like a white-sand moon.

From dehumanization to arms production,
For the benefit of the nation or its destruction
Power, power, the law of the land,
Those living for death will die by their own hand,
Life’s no ordeal if you come to terms,
Reject the system dictating the norms
From dehumanization to arms production,
To hasten the nation towards its destruction
Power, power, the law of the land,
Those living for death will die by their own hand,
Life’s no ordeal if you come to terms,
Reject the system dictating the norms
From dehumanization to arms production,
To hasten the nation towards its destruction
Power, power, the law of the land,
Those living for death will die by their own hand,
Life’s no ordeal if you come to terms,
Reject the system dictating the norms
From dehumanization to arms production,
To hasten this nation towards its destruction,
It’s your choice, your choice, your choice, your choice,
Peace or annihilation

Prima canzone dell’album eMOTIVE, trovo abbia un bellissimo testo e la musica, seppur semplice, è molto coinvolgente.
