杜の都のオカマーチ (Mori no miyako no okamaachi) – Oka-march in the forested capital


from ONE PIECE Nippon juudan! 47 Cruise CD in Miyagi Mori no miyako no oka-march single.

——

Head to the north, I’m here in the forested capital, never stopping my progress
Putting on pointe shoes, I twirl around Tohoku
Zun, da zun, da beef, tongue
Zun, da zun, da beef, tongue

Sasa-come on, starry étoile
Donning a crescent kabuto helmet, this dandy will guard the city

My goal is the legendary sleeping crater at the top of Mt Zao
I’m not sure what I’ll find there, but
I’ll become the okama king and grasp something yo~

Eating sasakama, checking my makeup, a wonderful meeting is a journey’s beginning
White skin and sweet fragrance, sasakama is an okama’s nakama
Crossing the rugged field, over the mountain, like a swan dancing high in the sky!
Lunging fists, sasakama kenpo, I’m an okama prima donna

Snow, moon, flowers, beauty, I gaze upon the four best sceneries
As I explore Matsushima

Doesn’t matter that I’m a hammer okama-sing, I have a pleasure boat, no, a swan boat
I’ll paddle on with my well-toned shapely legs
Wait a minute, why am I going the opposite way yo~?

What’s going on? Dabadaa dabadaa
There’s no time to linger
What are you saying? Dabadaa dabadaa
This really isn’t a joke
Let’s proceed with a plié pas
Dashing up from the sea to the mountain
Hurry up, look, lulube chasse
Just let your mood soar up and up

I’ve reached the end of my journey, the okama king’s legendary spot
There’s no treasure to be found, but the view of the Five Colored Lake is the best, right?
What’s important is formless, like the shifting colors of the lakewater
Let it pile in your heart and form a layer, if you get it, then you’re the strongest
I’m the strongest, right?!!!

——

Misa’s note:
– Oka-march is a combination of the words “okama (transvestite)” and “march”.
– Similarly, okama can also be translated as “volcanic crater”.
– Sasakama is a type of fishcake dish.
– Nakama can be translated as comrade.

Performed by Jewelry Bonney (VA: Kiuchi Reiko)


from ONE PIECE Nippon juudan! 47 Cruise CD in Iwate EAT WORLD, TAKE ALL single.

——

I’m hungry~!!!

Oh damn! So good!
Bracken, abalone, Like that
Isn’t this super awesome?
Heart’s rouge!
So, open wide and stuff your cheeks
Everything’s so delicious

The left brain’s prudent
More calories, Give me Give me
Getting energy
The right brain’s greedy, eat it all
You know! Eat world Take all

Come~!
Rookies, four emperors, marines, admirals
Nobody’s an enemy, So, eat up, eating KING WINNER
One bowl, Two bowls, Three bowls, 1000 bowls
I eat it all but Get no satisfaction
Hungry NOW, hungry NOW
If my stomach’s EMPTY, I can’t fight
No rush, what’s the bill?
Go! Go! Go!

Oh damn! So good!
Jaja noodles, seaweed, Like that
Totally can’t stop
Even as an adult!
Or a child, or old hag
My craving won’t change

Leave an impression with your tongue
Come on, Show me Show me
Once you get synergy
The impulse won’t end, eat it all
You know! Eat world Take all

Come~!
Giants, mermaids, agents, mutants
Kick them out! So midriff and eating KING WINNER
One chilled noodles, Two chilled noodles, Three chilled noodles, 1000 chilled noodles
I eat it all but Get no satisfaction
Take care NOW, take care NOW
Can’t settle the INSECT in my stomach
At this rate, hah! All of Iwate, OH!
Will be eaten

Things like reminiscence are all his fault, his fault
So I’ll go in search
Let’s go, come, to the new world, don’t get in my way
Or I won’t forgive you!

Come~!
Rookies, four emperors, marines, admirals
Nobody’s an enemy, So, eat up, eating KING WINNER
One bowl, Two bowls, Three bowls, 1000 bowls
I eat it all but Get no satisfaction
Hungry NOW, hungry NOW
If my stomach’s EMPTY, I can’t fight
No rush, what’s the bill?
Go! Go! Go!

My stomach is still not satisfied
More~!!!

——

Misa’s note:
There’s a play on the phrase “shoku KING WINNER”, as it means “eating KING WINNER” but also sounds like “shocking winner”.

Performed by Isshou / Fujitora (VA: Sawaki Ikuya)

ねぶたの虎 (Nebuta no tora) – Nebuta tiger


from ONE PIECE Nippon juudan! 47 Cruise CD in Aomori Nebuta no tora single.

——

Arriving at Hell’s casino, I bet on justice
The world is divided into odds and evens
I should be able to see nothing, but
Malicious faces are so easy to spot
Scoundrels filling these pubs
And degenerated justice will never change

Rassera Rassera Rassera Rassera
No need to rush, now’s not the time
The Nebuta tiger is unmoved by deception
The business of karma
Rassera Rassera, depends on the answer
Rassera Rassera, of the raging tiger

Arriving in this territory of respect, I sheathe my sword
The heavens see all
Give your body to the festival
Indeed, with an uplifting spirit
Life is full of good and evil
But there is no difference between heavy and light

Rassera Rassera Rassera Rassera
No need to rush, now’s not the time
The Nebuta tiger hides its fangs
The moment when all becomes transitory
Rassera Rassera, with no fear of the gods
Rassera Rassera, the tiger roars

Rassera Rassera
Scoundrels filling these pubs
And degenerated justice will never change

Rassera Rassera Rassera Rassera
No need to rush, now’s not the time
The Nebuta tiger is unmoved by deception
The business of karma
Rassera Rassera, depends on the answer
Rassera Rassera, of the raging tiger

——

Misa’s note:
Nebuta is a summer nighttime festival in Aomori. Nebuta refers to the float of a brave warrior-figure which is carried through the center of the city, while dancers wearing a unique type of costume called “haneto” dance around in time with the chant “Rassera”.

NORTH BLUE ROAD – One Piece

Performed by Kuzan / Aokiji (VA: Koyasu Takehito)


from ONE PIECE Nippon juudan! 47 Cruise CD in Hokkaido NORTH BLUE ROAD single.

——

The pages that had become legend
I watch on from a distance, a HAPPY MAN
How miserable? GIVE ME A BREAK
With scars from that slackened justice
I’d severed off from, SEE YOU AGAIN
I’ll go to tomorrow, my own way
This sky, that sea
If we get too close, we fail to see its vastness
Where did these beautiful ice floes come from?
I don’t know, KNOCK MY LIFE

Wandering the NORTH BLUE ROAD
A rough frozen way
With a single bicycle tightroping on my heart
Just the NORTH BLUE ROAD
Ahh, the hands of the clock tower can’t be turned back
This world will go wild
GET OUT! GET UP! GET DOWN!
By anyone’s hand

Forced upon by
Rotten morals, an ANGRY MAN
I’m old-fashioned? GIVE ME A BREAK
Even the blazing snow storm
Heads towards miracles, SEE YOU AGAIN
Transform it into objet d’art with those hands
Trapped in this tiny box
So that when the time came to fly, my wings
Hurt, and in the end, even my own memories
Can’t be protected, KNOCK MY LIFE

Lost on the NORTH BLUE ROAD
At the end of the rough forest
I’ll find my own answer, an expanding FRONTIER
The glittering NORTH BLUE ROAD
Ahh, confusion, deliberate melancholy
To the fellow traveller embracing them
GET OUT! GET UP! GET DOWN!
We’re alive

Wandering the NORTH BLUE ROAD
On this solid earth, whistling
With a single bicycle dashing across the fields
Just the NORTH BLUE ROAD
Ahh, frolicking with the wind wherever we go
In my own way
GET OUT! GET UP! GET DOWN!
Just moving forward

Because I don’t wish to be
“A wolf in sheep’s skin”

——

Misa’s note:
“Ii furikoki no ganbe takari” is a native Hokkaido saying used to describe something that looks beautiful on the outside but is actually rotten/ugly within. I thought “wolf in sheep’s skin” was the most fitting metaphor in this case.

Wake up! – AAA

02 Friday Oct 2015

Posted by in AAA, Anime OSTs, lyrics, One Piece

≈ Leave a comment

Opening theme for anime One Piece.



from Wake up! single + Gold Symphony album.

——

Let’s go, Shining! Running! Forever
Push on forward
These unchanging bonds will surely shine to the “end of dreams”
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up heart beat!
We are the one! Go ahead!

Freedom is our only compass, We are best friends
Our route will always be carved by our own hand
Days of us sprinting with all our mights, Go east, Go west
One by one, we find the things we want to do and clear it all

Unable to wait for morning, our hearts ache (I can’t wait)
If that’s so, then I’d sooner drag the Sun into the sky and get going Go!

Yes Shining! Running! Forever
Layering and matching the fragments of dreams into one
And when it’s done, it’ll be a treasure
Let’s go, Shining! Running! Forever
Push on forward
These unchanging bonds will surely shine to the “end of dreams”
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up heart beat!
We are the one! Go ahead!

The future which noone knows of, I feel so free
Is glittering between the waves, we won’t overlook its flair
Days when we’re completely on fire, It takes us higher
Once we’ve decided, we won’t look away no matter what

Every time we overcome something, the possibility murmurs (I can’t stay)
Tomorrow and the day after too, it’s a chain of hot, intense excitement!

Yes Shining! Running! Forever
Leave it to curiosity and feelings, to the place we’re aiming for
That is an adventure
Let’s go, Shining! Running! Forever
Spreading out our heart’s map
These bonds which hide power will surely let us grasp the “end of dreams”
Never! Never! Never! Never stop it!
We are the one! Go ahead!

Let’s Go! We’re full of dependable fuel
Treasure hunters running at the vanguard
Using hope as a weapon against anxiety
Let’s head to east, west, south, north, we haven’t had enough fun yet
The shining search for that treasure far away isn’t over

Every time we look back, the courage seethes (I feel it)
The tracks that belong to only us will always shine strong forever

Yes Shining! Running! Forever
Layering and matching the fragments of dreams into one
And when it’s done, it’ll be a treasure
Let’s go, Shining! Running! Forever
Push on forward
These unchanging bonds will surely shine to the “end of dreams”
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up! Wake up heart beat!
We are the one! Go ahead!

memories – Otsuki Maki

One Piece Theme Song Collection DVD / Animation One Piece Super Best / V.A.

from One Piece Theme Song Collection album + One Piece Super Best album.

——

When I was young, a treasure map
Surfaced in my head
I’ve since been searching for that miraculous place
So I won’t lose it to an unknown person

Now, in these dusty days
Someday, everything
Will be left to time

If this world is going to change
Bring me back to the time
When I knew nothing, so the memories won’t fade away

Since I was young, I’ve been singing
To warm my dreaming heart
So that I can let everyone hear that secret melody
That they had been mimicking

Now, I’ve been sighing non-stop
Till now, noone has yet
Captured the real dream

If this era is going to return
Bring me back to the time
When I first knew tears, so sorrow can’t keep up

If this world is going to change
Bring me back to the time
When I knew nothing, so the memories won’t fade away

Bring me back, so sorrow can’t keep up

from HANDS UP! single.

——

Right now, more HANDS UP! Yes, sing out your dreams. Always STAND UP! Hoist the unbreakable flag
We’ll surmount walls again and again! Without stopping, come, let’s go! HANDS UP!!

“We just need to progress a little more to reach the answer.”
Believing that, we pushed on to reach this new world

Yes, the pieces of our dreams have become one
Connected by unshakable bonds, to the brilliant future!

Right now, more HANDS UP! Yes, sing out your dreams. Always STAND UP! Hoist the unbreakable flag
We’ll surmount walls again and again! Without stopping, come, let’s go!
More LOOK UP! Yes, puff out your chest! Always STEP UP! Fly through the waves!
Quietly join our wishes into one for the future, come, let’s go! HANDS UP!!

The footprints we’ve left behind will surely become
Someone’s guide someday when they embark on an “endless long journey”

The beginning comes suddenly for everyone
If you take one step out from your place… Your dreams will start to move!!

Right now, more HANDS UP! Yes, sing out your dreams. Always STAND UP! Hoist the unbreakable flag
We’ll surmount walls again and again! Without stopping, come, let’s go!
More LOOK UP! Yes, puff out your chest! Always STEP UP! Fly through the waves!
Quietly join our wishes into one for the future, come, let’s go! HANDS UP!!

Floating on the waves as they break and recede. Meeting and separating, then again under this flag…

The pain I don’t want to forget was carved onto this chest quietly that day
I won’t lose to anyone. Grabbing freedom in this hand, I’ll go!

Right now, more HANDS UP! Yes, sing out your dreams. Always STAND UP! Hoist the unbreakable flag
We’ll surmount walls again and again! Without stopping, come, let’s go!
More LOOK UP! Yes, puff out your chest! Always STEP UP! Fly through the waves!
Quietly join our wishes into one for the future, come, let’s go! HANDS UP!!

One day – the Rootless

26 Sunday May 2013

Posted by in Anime OSTs, lyrics, One Piece, the Rootless

≈ Leave a comment

from One day single.

——

Every time I look up at the sky after rain, I think of how I used to be a crybaby
Recklessly chasing after someone’s back, wishing to “become strong”

The “thank you” that just disappeared in the wind, have I become strong?
Because I don’t have an answer yet, I should start walking again

So, I’ll go without stopping, without losing to the passing time
I’ll continue to fight on again and again, because I don’t want to lose what’s precious

Like birds dancing in the twilight, I search for the tomorrow I can’t see
Stumbling and afraid, but I never drop my eyes to the ground

Encountering words about giving up, but there’s one goal I won’t give up on
Overcoming joy and sorrow, I’ll slowly walk on

I’ll hold my hands out to the endless sky, believing in just one future
Time passes relentlessly, but I don’t want to lose what’s precious

The voice within me always, always gives me support
The teasing rain is a hassle, but I won’t run away, Oh

So, I’ll go without stopping, without losing to the passing time
I’ll continue to fight on again and again, because I don’t want to lose what’s precious

Towards the future we believed in…

Believing only in the future, I don’t care if others laugh at me
Your passion as you run on makes you shine
So brightly, but I want to watch you
It just gives me a sense of “beauty”, I’m really really stuck on you

The back of a dream that’s like noone else’s
I chase it on and on
Emotions burning, as if rousing the dawn
I don’t know the consequences yet
Rather than have a boring time
Until I get a hold of the dramatic, Believe In Wonderland!

Exchanging a mountain of problems for a light-hearted mood
This road won’t turn back, that’s your pride
On timid nights after trouble
I’ll embrace you tight, I wanna wanna be with you

The shape of a dream that noone has seen before
I capture it again and again
I’ll follow you with hot emotions
There’s no need to be coherent
Rather than have mundane days
I’ll aim for and run to paradise, Believe In Wonderland!

The back of a dream that’s like noone else’s
I chase it on and on
Emotions burning, as if rousing the dawn
I don’t know the consequences yet
Rather than have a boring time
Until I get a hold of the dramatic, Believe In Wonderland!

Gomugomu bravo
Barabara festival
Subesube spur
Mokumoku smoker
Bomb bomb bomber

Treasure of the seas, mystery of the pirates
Just one bite and you can’t be stopped
No, it never ends
The beginning of miracles… A-u! Devil Fruit

Gomugomu bravo
Barabara festival
Subesube spur
Mokumoku smoker
Bomb bomb bomber

That’s destiny, or fate
Everyone’s afraid to even touch it
But there’s always someone
The devil’s scapegoat… A-u! Devil Fruit

Just how many of them exists?
No way to know, no way to confirm
It’s a profound mystery
That’s the legendary… A-u! Devil Fruit

Gomugomu bravo
Barabara festival
Subesube spur
Mokumoku smoker
Bomb bomb bomber

One second of caution, a bite and it’s for life
I wish, to all who crave it
The devil’s power, oh, you swallowed it whole!
That’s the legendary… A-u! Devil Fruit

That’s the legendary… A-u! Devil Fruit
