WALK OF MY LIFE – Koda Kumi

15 Sunday Mar 2015

Posted by Misa-chan in Koda Kumi, lyrics

from WALK OF MY LIFE album.

——

“Must be great to be you”, I couldn’t reply to that
So I shut my mouth
Even though the same scenery would never come again
I let it escape
This precious that only exists now

Even the endlessly echoing pain
Will disappear someday as the world spins
“I’m alone, I’m alone”
I won’t say such things anymore

I can step out because I was standing still
Everyone is searching for the meaning of life
I am finally free
Everyone tells me that I haven’t changed
But now, I must change
I can finally
Start from where we ended
So begins a walk of my life

“You’re so strong”, that’s what people always say
But every time
I stand before the mirror, my shoulders tremble, you know
There is really nobody who
Truly knows me

Making countless mistakes, turning back countless times
Even so
I continue to progress towards the place I want to go
Never stopping

Crying will make me stronger, right?
Because I know the meaning of standing up
I am finally free
Everyone tells me that I haven’t changed
But now, I must change
I can finally
Start from where we ended
So begins a walk of my life

The dried falling leaves seem so sad
As they flutter down to sleep
But just glancing around me
Everyone is actually smiling

Rather than what people think
It’s about how I’ve lived
Rather than comparing with others
It’s about being me, going on

I can finally
Start from where we ended
So begins a walk of my life

And, so!!!!!! (laugh)

Aarin started her meet-and-greet yesterday at Nijo,
then continued with sessions at Odawara, Chigasaki, and Ebina 󾬚

Thank you
to everyone who came (^ω^)

The nationwide pilgrimage was going strong,
but the solo sessions are all over—.

I’ve not had enough—.

Solo meet-and-greets made me feel lonely, and I always felt nervous about talking,
but it was so much fun (((o(*ﾟ▽ﾟ*)o)))

Every venue was filled with truly heartwarming moods,
and I got to hear everyone’s voices,
so I felt it was the best meet-and-greet sessions!

I’m glad to have met everyone (`･ω･´)

Thank you so much 󾬍

I also visited Teradaya in Kyoto!

A cinema dyed in pink is the best scenery (。-∀-)

Till the very last session, all the Mononofu and Puninofu came to see me,
and I was just so so so happy (^^)

Because I’ll always really nervous that the cinemas would be empty!!! (laugh)

But now, I know that there are people around the country who support me,
and will be there for me.

I’ll continue to strive on!

The pink venues made me so happy 🙌

Thank you so much.

The sessions today will be hosted with my beloved Sao-san!

Let’s go in high spirits for the finale—!

This meet-and-greet was brought to you by Takagi and Tamai!
For the 1st day in Hokkaido,
we visited Kitami! Then Kushiro!
For lunch at Kitami, we had a vegetable sommelier visit us backstage and prepare Kitami’s delicacies, salted yakisoba and pork bowl, for us. And as we moved to Kushiro, we visited Lake Akan where we played with snow, fished for pond smelt, then cooked fresh pond smelt tempura to eat!
So grateful‼︎‼︎

And then, the meet-and-greet at Kushiro—!
For dinner, we had crab and oyster, and lots of other Hokkaido delicacies!
Then, for Day 2,
we spent 4.5 hours on a train all morning to our first location, Ebetsu!
Then we had soup curry for lunch!
We also went to see the TV tower, then played with snow! It was so much fun—!

Then, we went back to work

And it was soon time for dinner!
Since we ate so much for lunch, we kept saying that we couldn’t eat much. But the complaints stopped once the seafood bowls were placed before us, and we finished it all up ＼(^o^)／

Wow— Nothing can be happier than this!
Such joy ❤ ️

And then, our final meet-and-greet at Hokkaido was in Sapporo!

I know I’ve said this many times, but I had so much fun!
It was really cold, but the Mononofu were all so nice that my heart felt warm!
I was a lump of happiness!

Everyone, thank you so much!
We’ve not been able to come here much, but we hope to hold lots of concerts here in the future!
Wait for us!

Good morning!

We travelled around the city for yesterday’s meet-and-greet sessions—!

Itabashi, Nishi-arai, Kinshi-chou, Nihonbashi!

There was this question which was asked during the Kinshi-chou session.
“On Akemi-chan’s copy of the Ginga Tetsudou no yoru script, there’s a ♥ drawn above Saori’s name. Who was the one who drew that?”

I promised that I would find out!
So I found out! From Sasaki-san!

“Who drew that ♥?” I asked!

And then…

“Aa-chan drew it with her heart. It’s embarrassing to tell someone straight, but she can’t control this overflowing love.
I can’t be honest,
but I want to deliver my feelings.
What can I do?
That’s right! A ♥!
I’ll draw a ♥ on this script that Sao-san wrote for me!
That was her intention.”

That was her truly overwhelming reply. (laugh)

Overflowing love… The pressure is frightening. (laugh)

And today will be the first time
“Aarin” and I are hosting a meet-and-greet together!

It’s also the last day of the nationwide pilgrimage!
So exciting…

I hope to deliver Maku ga Agaru to lots of people… (*^^*)

☆Yesterday afternoon!
Since it was White Day, I was at the white gyoza store ＼(^^)／
It was delicious ♥♥

Misa’s note:
1. Kanako replaced a character in Aarin (あーりん) to become 圧ーりん, where “圧” means “overwhelming”.
2. Akemi is the character Aarin plays in Maku ga Agaru, while Saori is Kanako’s character.

もんだいガール (Mondai gaaru) – Problem girl

from Mondai girl single.

——

When someone criticizes me, I say that “I’m different from the rest”
Because there’s nobody who will always be just like “everyone else”

Unable to convert envy at things I can’t do into courage to change
Dragging my feet as I dream, I’m just a little unworthy yai-yai

I’m just in love
Not going to live like a machine

I’m a problem girl
Don’t want to be boring-ing
You have a problem too
You can’t be normal right?
I’m a problem girl?
Does honesty wish for honesty?
I’m a problem girl
Problem girl problem girl

Rather than smile at hateful things, I want to cry at wonderful things
When this world is destroyed, there are people who will be with me

Answering requests, I can’t be as shrewd as you are
I want to put on sparkly makeup on those annoying idiots yai-yai

I’m just in love
Unaccompanied by anticipation nor selfishness

I’m just in love
Not going to live like a machine

Problem girl problem girl problem girl

Misa’s note:
* The phrase “mondai gaaru” or “problem girl”, can also be written as “mondai ga aru” or “have a problem”.

Joshikou sensou – Silent Siren

女子校戦争 (Joshikou sensou) – Girls’ Academy war

from Silent Siren album.

——

It’s almost time for the bell to ring
Looking like someone else with no makeup
Drowsy drowsy I’m sorry, my eyelids feel so heavy

Written in the margins of my textbook
The goblin lurking on the rooftop
Drowsy drowsy I’m sucked into one-sided love

By the 3rd period, almost everyone is ready with full makeup
The super full jersey peeking out from beneath my skirt, it’s a madhouse

Girls’ Academy war, won’t stop ringing
This isn’t a beautiful flower garden
Everyone is targetting their prey
Not letting anyone into their territory

Girls’ Academy war, I can’t lose
Want to make that hunky lecturer fall for me
Once the uniform’s ribbon is untied
The countdown will begin

It’s almost time for the semestral tests
Appeal of raising my hand without any reason
Drowsy drowsy I’m sorry, gazing through my lashes

Hidden in the classroom’s corner
The goblin lurking during supplementary class
Drowsy drowsy I’m sucked into being treated like a child

Biology, Math, I don’t care. I’m ready for instant messaging
Really feigned illness, called to the infirmary, it’s a dilemma

Girls’ Academy war, won’t stop ringing
This isn’t a lovely flower garden
Everyone is giving off sparks
Not forgiving anyone who steals ahead

Girls’ Academy war, I can’t lose
Want to kick that cunning girl down
Once the uniform’s hook is unfastened
The countdown will begin

Hey, sir, please teach me
I can’t solve this equation

Hey, sir, please help me
I think I have a fever

Girls’ Academy war, won’t stop ringing
This isn’t a beautiful flower garden
Everyone is targetting their prey
Not letting anyone into their territory

Girls’ Academy war, I can’t lose
Want to make that hunky lecturer fall for me
Once the uniform’s hem is turned up
Won’t let you treat me like a child

Ahh— It’s over…
My last solo meet-and-greet session

Today, I visited Touin in Mie Prefecture,
then ended off at Tsushima in Aichi Prefecture ☆

And just as I was
finally slowly getting used to hosting 30-minute chat sessions on my own—…

But I reaffirmed one thing!!

That I’m really bad at talking de-ariyasu （・Θ・;）

I’ve always stood quietly to the right side,
nodding in agreement to what the other members say,
so to ask me to stand in the centre and speak is just— >∀<*)

Thanks to everyone's consideration,
no matter which cinema I visited,
I was welcomed with wonderful costumes and a warm atmosphere,
and the entire venues were all dyed in green (* *)

There can't be a place happier than that, really (*T T*)

Thank you so much ♪

Today, lots of people were dyed in green as well
for my final day as a teen,
and to spend that time with my be—————loved Mononofu and Momonofu
was such happiness de-ariyasu (*^Θ^*)
With this, I’ll be able to welcome my 20th year with no regrets ^ ^ ♡

To everyone who sent in congratulations
and cheers for me
even though they couldn’t meet me at the cinemas

Thank you ♪ I’m really grateful de-ariyasu (*>∀<*)

Just one more day left of the nationwide pilgrimage ☆
Tomorrow is the last!!

Finally, all the members will gather
and have lots of fun together——— (*^o^*)

パンキッシュ (Pankisshu) – Punkish

from Green Flash single.

——

Just by studying (won’t change won’t change)
Or by taking a job seriously (won’t change won’t change)
Won’t make Japan change (won’t change won’t change)
So let the eminent people work hard

Oh Yeah!
Even when they tell me to search for my dreams
Rules, rules bind me down
There’s no space for me to dream
Oh Yeah!
Complaining just makes me hungry
So I’ll shake my head and scream!
Yeah!

Life is punkish
Don’t think!
Just do whatever
You want to do
Here we go! (Go ahead!)
Here we go! (Go ahead!)
Within us
There is something burning
This flame will not go out
So go!
Yeah!

I must be kind to others (What’s with that! What’s with that!)
Behave like a good citizen (What’s with that! What’s with that!)
But that won’t change me (What’s with that! What’s with that!)
It doesn’t matter if others don’t like me

Oh Yeah!
Every single person says that
Love is the most precious thing
But I want to love myself
Oh Yeah!
There’s no use in whining
So I’ll raise my fist and sing!
Ah!

Life is punkish
That’s of course?
There’s no need to care
About what’s happening around
Don’t stop it! (Keep it going!)
Don’t stop it! (Keep it going!)
Within us
There is something burning
Wake the sleeping children!
So go!

The cat in the sunn spot
Is yawning
Such a lazy day
I just need to mess it up!
Come, let’s rage!
Ah!

Life is punkish
Don’t think!
Just do whatever
You want to do
Here we go! (Go ahead!)
Here we go! (Go ahead!)
Within us
There is something burning

履物と傘の物語 (Hakimono to kasa no monogatari) – The story of clogs and umbrellas

from Green Flash single.

——

Near the train station of a certain village
The stores are situated next to each other

The clogs store and the umbrella store’s
Old lady owners were good friends

Their husbands had already passed on
Their child already grown up and independent

What’s left for the old ladies
Were their stores with minimal customers

Even so, the two ladies were happy
Because they had someone to chat with so nearby

The old lady of the clogs store
Passed away with a smile on her face

The old lady of the umbrella store
Soon passed away too, as if following her

When their respective families were cleaning up the stores
What they saw at the back surprised them

The drawers of the clogs store
Were stuffed with umbrellas

The drawers of the umbrella store
Were stuffed with clogs

While visiting each other’s stores
Yes, the two old ladies had become each other’s customers

The number of clogs, the number of umbrellas
Were the signs of happiness

Were the signs of happiness
