hello! i noticed a lot of character songs from the one piece album were untranslated, so i decided to try my had at some translations! this is from the one piece island song collection, with one character singing a song to represent all of the locations shown so far!
果てない海を 見るたびに
新しい世界
旅立つこと 夢見た
Every Time I saw that endless sea
I dreamt taking a trip
To that brand new world
本物の強さに触れて
誓いを強くした
あの海と 帽子の約束
To experience true strength
I made a vow that won't break
I made a promise on that sea and hat
あの頃と何も変わらない
高鳴る鼓動が 連れて行く
次のステージ
Not a single thing has changed since then
And the beating of my heart takes me
To the next stage
胸で輝いた宝石のカケラ
今も光の矢を放って 未来へ続く
あの日もあの場所で 手にしていた
とてつもない冒険の種
始まりの宝石
Within my chest there's a fragment of a gem that won't stop gleaming
Even now it's light directs me straight to the future, like a fired arrow
I had it in my hands that day, in that place
The seeds of an incredibly great adventure:
The Jewel of Beginnings!
信じられるものひとつ
探し出すように
走り続けていたよ
There's one thing I absolutely believe in
And to find it,
I hurried forward on my search
そう夢中で追いかけた背中
なんども 見失しない
今もまだ 腕を伸ばすけど
I'm absolutely determined to follow in his footsteps*
I won't ever lose sight of him
Even now, I'll reach out my arms but still
無数のキズ跡 治る頃
強くなれるって 信じてた
青空見上げ
I ended up with an infinity of scars
and I knew i could get so much stronger
When they bonded together*
As I looked up at the blue sky
胸で騒いでる 宝石のカケラ
今も光の矢を放ち 夢を導く
あの場所が あの出会いこそが
折れない! ブレない! 気持ちのルーツ
始まりの宝石
Within my chest there's a fragment of a gem that won't stop making noise,
Even now it's light leads me straight to my dreams, like a shot arrow
For a meeting at that place
The feelings rooting me won't bend! And they won't sway!
The Jewel of Beginnings!
Searchin' for treasure treasure treasure
You were my treasure treasure treasure
Searchin' for treasure treasure treasure
You were my treasure treasure treasure
そこにないものを探しに来たのに
ないものなんてなかったと
思い出を そうさ地図にして
新しい宝石を探しに行こう
Searching for something that couldn't possibly exist
And finding not a single thing
And with these memories, that's right, get a map
And let's go and search for a new jewel!
これからも出会うだろう
心動かされるもの
すべて いつか 思い出になる頃
最大キャラットの 光を放つ宝石
We'll meet again from here on out
The thing that moves my heart
All of it, in time, will just be a memory
Of the most brilliant carat of a shining treasure
胸で輝いた宝石のカケラ
今も光の矢を放って 未来へ続く
あの日もあの場所で 手にしていた
とてつもない冒険の種
始まりの宝石
Within my chest there's a fragment if a gem that won't stop gleaming
Even now it's light directs me straight to the future, like a fired arrow
I had it in my hands that day, in that place
The seeds of an incredibly great adventure:
The Jewel of Beginnings!
-------
*literal line is 'i'm determined to chase his back' same thing, different working
*キズ/kizu is in katakana, so it's likely they were trying to make wordplay with 傷跡/kizuato (scar/wound) and 絆/kizuna(bond/or connection). Bonding & mending are similar, so theres that line.

Week 132: J-pop
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yU26yt2fU0c
Yo minna-san,
How’s it going? I’m sore, because we did laps at Tae Kwon Do last night (10 push-ups and 0 crunches, and then a lap, decrease by 1 push-up and add 2 crunches every lap until it’s 0 push-ups and 20 crunches). It’s been a while since I did a workout that intense, so I’m feeling it. This might be a shorter post, because I’m sore and I don’t know what to say, but I REALLY like this song.
So, let’s get to it!
ONE-WORLD~sekai no minna-san konnichiwa by Mayumi Tanaka is a character song of Monkey D. Luffy from One Piece.
Yes, this is a One Piece character song.
And just so you know, I’m planning to do a One Piece character song special, but I’m gonna wait until they stop coming out with new songs. (Let’s go see Master Cat Viper XD)
And this isn’t my favorite Luffy character song, so it won’t be on that list anyway. I’m in the clear. XD
I’ll go more in depth on One Piece for the character song special, so we’ll just talk about the song right now.
So, while I was at my internship today, I had a desire to listen to some One Piece character songs. I listened to all of them on Tra-guy’s playlist on Youtube. But before I got to the playlist, I saw that there was a Straw Hat Version of this song called ONE-WORLD. I told myself I’d probably hear it in the playlist, and I was right… but not.
Because it was the Luffy character song in the playlist. And I didn’t know what to expect, but it definitely wasn’t what I got.
And what I got was this song, and it makes me feel so happy.
Compared to the other Luffy character songs I’ve heard, this is completely different.
I mean, it starts off sounding like something from the animated Hercules movie with it’s gospel-soul feel and backup chorus. It blew me out of the water. And I had this stupid grin while I was listening to it.. and we’re not gonna say how many times I listened to it today. XD
So, before I go any further, this is a really happy song. I mean, hello is said in multiple languages!
The Youtube user Artur New World commented that this the song's main theme is that One Piece has no boundaries or racism.
And there is stuff like that in One Piece, but the idea is that everyone should get along as ONE WORLD. The Straw Hats fight that kind of discrimination.
Now, regarding the details of the song. First, Mayumi Tanaka always sounds happy and energetic singing Luffy character songs. Second, I thought the gospel-soul feel would be cliché, but it works so well. I mean, Hercules is a good movie, especially the music… although our choir sang “Zero to Hero” too many times. XD
The instrumentation is so good. The backup chorus has good harmonies and is in sync. The bass is kicking the funk out of my ear drums. (Linda: What?) (It doesn’t have to make sense, Linda. XD) The claps bring so much energy. The percussion section is diverse and well utilized. The melody is interesting and easy to sing along to. There are some interesting rhythm choices in the singing and rhythm section. And I love the pitch bending before everyone sings “JUMP!” (It’s so good!) .. oh, I just heard chimes!

Oh yeah, I mentioned the Straw Hats Version before.
It’s even better, because it just sounds like the Straw Hat Pirates hanging out and singing a song. And this song just works so well for a group to sing it.

And by the way, I absolutely want to do a collab cover of this song. It’s so good. I listened to it more than 10 times today… oh shoot, I wasn’t supposed to tell you that.
Editor, will you remove that?
Editor: why don’t you just move your mouse and highlight the text and press “Delete”?
No, that’s too much work. Nevermind, then. It’s fine.
Anyway, I will cover this song at some point!!
IT WILL HAPPEN!!

And here’s an article talking about how a poster for a different character off the album was put up in each prefecture in Japan. (I’m just throwing stuff at you guys. XD)

Okay, that’s it.
Wow, if this is short, I don’t want to see long. XD
I actually didn’t feel too sore typing, so it was fun!
>> Also, you had better like this song, Micah.
If you message me saying you didn’t really like it… no, don’t even think about it. XD (we will discuss)
Alright, that’ll do it for this week.
If you have any questions or requests, please let me know.
I’m also planning to stream again this Saturday @ 2:00pm CDT if you want to tune in!!
