Tegami Translation  
As requested by [info]zeopower6, here's the translation to "Tegami". Coincidently I just started my holidays so I have more time to translate. :D

Romaji lyrics are taken from one of the comments by [info]zeopower6 as well, taken from [Martzb@JPM] I believe, so credit is given where it's due. Haha.

手紙
Letter

Japanese Lyrics )

Romaji Lyrics )

Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?

For me who's 15 years old
There are seeds of worries I can't tell anyone

If it's a letter addressed to my future self,
Surely I can confide truely to myself

Now, it seems that I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?
This one-and-only heart has been broken so many times
In the midst of this pain, I live the present

Dear you,
Thank you
I have something to tell the 15-year-old you

If you continue asking what and where you should be going
You'll be able to see the answer

The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow

Now, please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I'm hurt
But I'm living the bittersweet present

There's meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

Seems like I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?

Please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice

No matter era we're in
There's no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present

Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
I wish you happiness

Tomo no shirushi translation  
This is wayyy overdue and I apologise to everyone who asked for this translation for the extreme time lag. Better late than never right?

友のしるし
Mark of Friendship
歌手:アンジェラ・アキ
作詞:アンジェラ・アキ
作曲:アンジェラ・アキ

Japanese Lyrics )

Romaji Lyrics )

You rest your forehead on the window and said,
"There's happiness beyond the glass"

Oh hollow eyes,
How many people have given them love
And then took it away

Even if you lose sight of the way home
Or on days when you become tired of lying
I'll be here
I'll be right here

I don't have any useful words to offer
But I'll give you a comfortable silence
Today, you can just rest or fall asleep
In these arms, in my chest
That may not be an answer but it's the mark of friendship

To a silent me on the other end of the line
You only said one thing: "It'll be alright"

One hour later, you were by my side
Putting torn photos together with tape

"There will come a day
when you can be thankful for this broken love
Until that day comes, I'll be right here"

The things and the people we like
As well as the places we live and our lovers
They will all change with the passing seasons
It doesn't matter if free time comes up
Our conversations remain uninterrupted
We'll overlap love in love, the mark of friendship

I'll tell you with this song
The mark of friendship

We're All Alone PV  

Don't know if many of you know this, but actually there's a We're All Alone PV for the promotion of ONE mini-album.
It took me many weeks to get it, because at this moment is impossible to find it on the net, so I had to ask many people, but finally I get it.

Here you are a preview: http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=0SRgbjjQdFk

ONE translation  
I managed to finish my presentation slides early today so I have some time to translate. =D As requested, the translation of "ONE". The lyrics are by ear, so feel free to correct me.

ONE
No one noticed my small existence
In the swarm of stars of the night sky travellers
That love song playing on the radio right now
Is ringing with coldness, as if it happened to others
In the crowd, I suddenly became one

Unable to meet expectations, I chewed my lip
Eyes glittering with sorrowful tears of regret
I moved forward using that glitter as my guide
Carving into my heart, that chances don't just occur once
Here, unease and courage becomes one

I may be a nameless hero now
But I won't stop fighting
The seeds of suffering are too, seeds of flowers
With time, they'll become flowers of stregth
Surely, one by one

We were once two people who could understand each other without words
Did we overindulge in that sort of kindness?
I wanted to start walking on my own
And hence tried to choose a life without you
But you and me were one, always

It may be a nameless story now
But I'll write the scenerio with these hands
Everytime I turn a page full of mistakes
I'll become stronger
Surely, one by one

One by one, I'll illuminate that light you carry in your heart
For that radiant spark will guide me

I may be a nameless hero now
It may be a nameless story now
But I'll write the scenerio with these hands
Everytime I turn a page full of mistakes
I'll become stronger
Surely, one by one

So, I really don't know who to credit. Please tell me who made them if you know! Then I'll edit my post. Please! I'm so sorry!! ='(

TODAY in CDJapan's One-Day New Years Sale  
Happy New Years!

Some of you may have noticed that CDJapan.jp is doing a special New Years sale where they reduce the price of select items for one day only. For those of you who haven't picked up TODAY, it's 25% off at CDJapan for today only (January 2nd--presumably Japan time).  I'm not sure how much time's left (what with the different timezones), and it may ultimately be cheaper through other vendors like Yesasia, but I thought I'd throw that out there...

Angela Aki's Kohaku performance  


I thought it was going to be a piano solo at the beginning, so I was pleasantly surprised when the drums come in at the chorus! "Sakurairo" is one of my favorote songs, so I'm glad she played that at 2007's Kohaku. In fact, I'm glad she was invited to sing in the first place! Hooray for Angela Aki-sama!

I wonder how many tons of sakura petals they used for the performance though (although Gackt's performance is so much more extravagent to the point its wtf). XD
