English Translation of "Dare Ni Mo Ienee" by B'z

"Dare Ni Mo Ienee/Can't Tell This to Anyone" by B'z (the original lyrics here)

Is there any woman who's prettier than her?
I wonder that, is it true? If there's one, it's awkward (at last)

Even the howl of the puppy sounds dramatic to me
Maybe it's because somebody cast a spell on me, and I can't turn away from it anymore

Just touching your fingers, I feel sparks flying
Maybe I've found something I really love
Can't tell this to anyone

The seaside wind (ha~) Her black hair (ha~) It shakes and from the gaps
I'm being stared at(ha~), now that(ha~), I'll accept everything (flatly)

Even while saying it would never happen, I've been hoping that a day like this will come
How would it be other people's fault

Won't let you go, I never wanna let you go, I don't need anything else
Although some shamefulwords are echoing in my heart
Can't tell this to anyone

I feel my heart beats fast
I feel dizzy too
I'm out of breath
Please help me anyhow

With the mood of the thunder, the clouds begin to move
Whatever happens, it's not a surprise

Won't regret the big step forward that I'm taking
But I wonder what's gonna happen after this, I'm nervous
Can't tell this to anyone

(Can't tell this)

I like this song best in their latest album "MAGIC"!! The song is about a guy who is in love with a girl. But he can't tell about it to anyone since he'd behaved like love wouldn't move him or like that hehe.

Osaka Derby

Today was the Osaka Derby day!! Watched the game at the stadium( ̄ー+ ̄) Cerezo Osaka V.S. Gamba Osaka.!! As the Cerezo was in the Division 2 for the past 3 years :$, it was the first Osaka Derby game in 4 years!! (the Gamba has been in the Division 1, besides, they have been doing really good recently.) The stadium was full with almost 40,000 people!!

Of course, we were cheering up the Cerezo, without a pom pom though :$( ̄ー+ ̄) The two good players, right behind the FW player, Kagawa and Inui (famous for their congenial plays too), played awesome!! Thier technique was just amazing!! Their dribble, pass, well everything, were marvellous!!

So the score!? Well, yes... they really played good... However... I think he could have just caught it... But... It was a draw game. 1-1...┌∵┘ (considering that the Gamba is a really good team, this isn't any bad though!) But the reason I really feel like grrrrrrrrr(゜д゜) is that the goalkeeper Matsui obviously could've caught the ball that was just coming to his hands right straight┐(´ー`)┌ So their lost a point was kinda pretty badly, but their goal scene on the other hand was really awesome!! The pass from Kagawa to Adriano...!! He pinpointed the space forward the Adriano!! The goal was also cool cause it was a pretty difficult angle to get a goal from!!

After the game, at a ramen noodle restaurant, and then at a Mos Burger shop, we were so talking, but they asked me to wear something else at least outside of the stadium┐(´ー`)┌(*´Д`)=з As a Cerezo (cherry bloosom, sakura) fan, but you know!! I had to wear the real pinky shirt┐(´ー`)┌(*´Д`)=з So of course I kept on wearing that one :P :P :P On the train too (H)

B'z LIVE-GYM 2010 "Ain't No Magic" in Osaka!!

I'm still excited yay!! Their show was amazing!! You know I am always sure that any of thier shows are awesome, but I feel like "キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!" while the show, and after the show( ̄ー+ ̄) If you have never seen thier show, well that's... hmm I feel sorry for you :P

B, b, b, but!! It's natural I felt like that this time!! Our seat was... the 2nd row from the stage. right in front of the middle of the stage!!!!!! I think I will never come across this great seat forever at any show... I've spent all the luckness I've had... hehe



When my friend was taking this photo, the staff really told us off :$ (In Japan, taking photos at the live show is strictly prohibited, and even bringing in a camera is forbidden)

It was about 7:15pm, in the big screen, a forest appeared, then lots of buildings... finally they all blew up by an explosion(」 ゜□゜)」 (The sound was too big though\(゜□゜)/)

And... then... キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!
1. Introduction
From above, Tak were appearing down on a board playing the "Introducction" Oh yeah he was wearing his sunglasses( ̄ー+ ̄) The song was arranged a little and he played like 5 minutes (the original is like just 30 seconds).

2. DIVE
Koshi came out to the stage!! Koshi also had sunglasses, and he was in a gold court! "Ready Set DIVE!!"キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!!

3. Time Flies
The song started right after the previous song's done. Tak, Koshi, Masuda-san, Barry and Shane!! They are all so cool!!

MC : B'z no LIVE-GYM ni Youkoso (Welcome to the B'z LIVE-GYM)
You know they make this set phrase so fun all the time. So yeah this time too!! Koshi was saying "B'z no... B'z no... B'z no... " as usual, then all of a sudden Tak said "B'z no..."!! Also what's funny, Koshi made grimace as Tak prevented into his MC. They did this lovely interaction about three times. Koshi acted good by moving his chin like a kid in a bad mood( ̄ー+ ̄) Both of them were like "Then you say it... if you want..." Finally Koshi shouted "B'z no... LIVE-GYM ni Youkosooooo!" Of course the the audience including me was like "Ahhhheyahhhjhh2ujahhmznf!"

4. MY LONELY TOWN 
They started playing this song while Koshi was saying "Youkosooooo"キタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!! This song's so hard to sing, but Koshi just sung it just like in the CD!! Koshi was moving around at the part "Dare ka to..." right before the guitar solo( ̄ー+ ̄)

5. 今夜月の見える丘に(Konya Tsuki No Mieru Oka Ni/Tonight, at the Hill Where We Can See the Moon)
Tak played a guitar solo song, so I expected the next song would be "TIME" or "Konya Tsuki No Mieru Oka ni". Oh yeah then he really played the introduction of "Konya Tsuki No Mieru Oka Ni" As the song's pretty known among everybody, not only big B'z fans, all the people were so exited to hear the song, my friend was also grinning pretty much( ̄ー+ ̄)

6. PRAY 
増田さんがイントロひきはじめる( ̄ー+ ̄) 2番始める前のふわぁふわぁみたいなとこ稲葉ちゃんと歌ってた( ̄ー+ ̄)そして最後は観客と掛け合い。ほとばしるこの想いのとこだ!! そして次あふれだすこの想いやのに間違えてまたほとばしるって言ってしまって一人でニヤニヤしてたがイシミネは気づいてたんか\(゜□゜)/

11. MC
ツアータイトル "Ain't No Magic"の説明!! ステージでの稲葉の歌、松本のギター、全ての演奏はすべて生身の人間がやっているもので種もしかけもないよ!! そしてその中でもすごいパワーを出してMAGICを起こそうぜ!!ということだ!!
そして!! ギター TAK MATSUMOTO!!

12. MAGIC
イントロを弾いて途中でやめて、客席を見てニヤニヤ。また弾き始めて、また途中でやめて、そしてまたニヤニヤ!! そして始まっタ━━━(゜∀゜)━━━!! 予想通り稲葉はブルースハープを弾き始める!!
Aメロのときはやたらアンプの上乗ってうたってた( ̄ー+ ̄)そして君の大事なとこふるわせられるように~のとこの稲葉の手つき変態やった( ̄ー+ ̄)

English Translation of "Hitori Ja Naikara -Theme Of LIVE-GYM-" by B'z

"Hitori Ja Naikara-Theme Of LIVE-GYM-/Cause We're Not Alone -Theme Of LIVE-GYM-" by B'z (the original lyrics here)

It would be so wonderful if we could continue meeting with only great moments
Ah, everybody becomes lost in thought sometimes

(One! Two! Three! Four!)

Cause we're not alone, we can live on
Even if we're not here tomorrow
Cause we're not alone, we may cry sometimes
I stay by your side

Let's shout here in this town (the city name) that reminds us of our dreams

Lalala...

I'll very soon translate other songs from "MAGIC"!! Probably I'll start with my favorite tracks( ̄ー+ ̄)

long time no see, my fans(▼∀+▼)

It's been a long time since I posted here. Sorry my fans :P
Anyway I've finished my applications to universities (to only two schools though (」 ゜□゜)」, and I might fail┐(´ー`)┌) So yeah now I'll translate the songs from the awesome album "MAGIC" very soon!

But firstly, I'll translate the short song, "Hitori Ja Naikara -Theme Of LIVE-GYM-". Well, I don't like this song much. It doesn't sound cool at all. But maybe I'll like it when I heard at the show. (Well, this song will be played when I leave the dome after the show)

Wow yeah, the show I'm gonna go is almost in a month now! Can't stop grinning cause I can't stop imagine their performance! ( ̄ー+ ̄) (I'm gonna go see thier LIVE-GYM on Feburary 24th in Osaka!)
