Ayumi Hamasaki | Dearest (English Version)

Singable English adaptation

Original Japanese version by Ayumi Hamasaki

From the Inuyasha OST

Translated and adapted to English by Cedes of Dolls

Listen to the shortened versions: Male / Female

☆

Every day I live, how I wish to be free

Forced to live this life led by cruel reality

Everything I need is right here with you

Leave the world behind, that is all I want to do

☆

But whenever I

Close my weary eyes

Suddenly I can see

Your tender face

Smiling for me

☆

Ah, my love, til the day that I fall

Deep in sleep that will be eternal

Let your smile be my comfort and guide

Let that smile always be by my side

☆

Ever does mankind find reason to be sad

How easily we keep forgetting what we have

☆

For what you should love

For what gives you love

And the joy it does bring

For the sake of love

Give your everything

☆

Ah, those days when our love was so new

Innocent we were shy and confused

Oh, how we took the long winding way

And how we caused each other such pain...

☆

But whenever I

Close my weary eyes

Suddenly I can see

Your tender face

Smiling for me

☆

Ah, my love, til the day that I fall

Deep in sleep that will be eternal

Let your smile be my comfort and guide

Let that smile always be by my side

☆

Ah, those days when our love was so new

Innocent we were shy and confused

Oh, how we took the long winding path

Ah, but look now and see where we are...

☆

Japanese Tip of the Day

OTAKU is a term that foreigners use too readily without truly understanding the connotations.

To say that you’re Otaku because you love anime or you’re learning Japanese is not a good idea. To Japanese people, Otaku are pathetic, shameful, and undesirable. They are unwanted as employees, friends, and lovers. Someone who is genuinely Otaku is extremely geeky, has no friends, probably doesn’t have a job and lives with their parents, is often overweight, spends all of their time and money on figurine collections and cartoon pornography, is usually an undateable virgin, and is considered creepy and gross by normal Japanese people. It’s not cute or cool to say you’re Otaku.

If you like anime, tell Japanese people you like anime. If you are learning the language, tell them that. If you are obsessed with Japan, tell them you love their culture. These are much more respectable ways to express your appreciation for Japanese things than claiming to be Otaku.

Singable English adaptation

Original Korean/Japanese versions by Girls’ Generation

Translated and adapted to English by Cedes of Dolls

☆

Not playing nice

You're such a bad boy

Just wanna taste

But never buy

And I was fooled

For such a long time

I should have known

But I was blind

☆

You don't even know how to play nice

You're a devil, devil in disguise

☆

The only guys

That's on your cell phone

Are really girls

With pseudonyms

Yeah all the times

You smelled of perfume

I wonder whose

It could have been

☆

I can't believe the way you deceive

You playing with love

Just like it's a toy

Wherever you flee, yeah I can still see

you boy

☆

You better run, run, run, run, run

Cos I don't wanna see your face today

You better run, run, run, run, run

Or I'ma send you flying far away

And if you crawl back to my feet

I'll give you back all you gave me

You better run, run, run, run, run

I caught you out and now baby you're done

Run, devil, devil, run, run

☆

Oh you're so good

At games of flirting

With other girls

When you're with me

And when I'm gone

You're Super Playboy

The case is made

How do you plea?

☆

You don't even know how to play nice

You're a devil, devil in disguise

☆

You better run, run, run, run, run

Cos I don't wanna see your face today

You better run, run, run, run, run

Or I'ma send you flying far away

And if you crawl back to my feet

I'll give you back all you gave me

You better run, run, run, run, run

I caught you out and now baby you're done

Run, devil, devil, run, run

I caught you out and now baby you're done

Run, devil, devil, run, run

☆

Well, I am a girl like nobody else

Your tricks are so old, I know them so well

But when you're a man, you might understand

You were a fool for letting me go

I warned you once, warned you twice

From now on not gonna be so nice

☆

You better run, run, run, run, run

Cos I don't wanna see your face today

You better run, run, run, run, run

Or I'ma send you flying far away

And if you crawl back to my feet

I'll give you back all you gave me

You better run, run, run, run, run

In this whole world it's not just you

There's so many guys I could choose

So I'll wait for a worthier man

Cos any man's better than you

Ayumi Hamasaki | Carols (English Version)

Singable English adaptation

Original Japanese version by Ayumi Hamasaki

Translated and adapted to English by Cedes of Dolls

Hear it performed by Cedes here

☆

Thinking of the first day we met

Though years have passed, how could I forget

Your gentle eyes

The way they held back

Afraid to meet mine

The way you hung your head that wore that shy smile

☆

Those simple things I saw every day

I wonder when it was they became

So dear to me

Looking back on what are now memories

The feelings that bring me never fade

☆

Oh since that time

So long ago how we have seen

Days and nights

They've passed beneath our feet

Seasons come and go

Oh, faster and faster

☆

When the snow

Veils all the city in white

Through the cold

Have me close that I may stay there by your side

Even though

I know that I will be

Such a weight on your shoulders

Always you go on bearing me

☆

A memory still so clear in my mind

The time we talked the whole of the night

In that one night

We painted all of our dreams for someday

A dazzling time

And precious it remains

☆

When I

Came to realise that I could be

Loved and be forgiven finally

Then I couldn't stop

Oh, the tears from falling

☆

When the sun

Has washed the snow away

When the streets bloom with flowers

And all the colours light my pathway

That's the time

When I so want to keep

You as close as I can to my heart

Oh, stay with me

☆

There were times we'd only disagree

There were days we'd walk on separately

All the tears I've made you cry

And the times when we could not stop smiling

I don't care whatever happens

And I swear whatever comes

That always

I'll be right here for you

☆

When the snow

Veils all the city in white

Through the cold

Have me close that I may stay there by your side

Even though

I know that I will be

Such a weight on your shoulders

Always you show you'll bear me

☆

When the sun

Has washed the snow away

When the streets bloom with flowers

And all the colours light my pathway

That's the time

When I so want to keep

You as close as I can to my heart

Oh, stay with me

Perfume | Flash (English Version)

Singable English adaptation

Original Japanese version by Perfume

Translated and adapted to English by Cedes of Dolls

☆

Near to infinity Here where the flowers grow Watch as their colours flow In and out of each hue

Frame of a moment In slow motion Light divides In a line it breaks through

Make the air tremble Wake the world with its beat Fill the night with its heat And put an end to silence

Something I'm feeling A brand new emotion Not like love... And suddenly it's gone

☆

A spark that makes a FLASH It's brighter than any LIGHTNING GAME And not a sound could ever break the chain FLASH, it's faster than any LIGHTNING SPEED An instant of power that no one's ever seen FLASH, it's brighter than any LIGHTNING GAME Raise your hands and your bow and arrow aim FLASH, it's faster than any LIGHTNING SPEED Your wish is about to be received Embedded in the FLASH

☆

Near to illusion Here where the seasons change Watch as the leaves rain From the trees of autumn

Frame of an moment High speed motion Light divides In a line it breaks through

Make the air tremble Wake the world with its beat Fill the night with its heat And put an end to silence

Something I'm feeling A brand new emotion Not like love... And suddenly it's clear

☆

A spark that makes a FLASH It's brighter than any LIGHTNING GAME And not a sound could ever break the chain FLASH, it's faster than any LIGHTNING SPEED An instant of power that no one's ever seen FLASH, it's brighter than any LIGHTNING GAME Raise your hands and your bow and arrow aim FLASH, it's faster than any LIGHTNING SPEED Your wish is about to be received Embedded in the FLASH

☆

Unstoppable Unstoppable Unstoppable Unstoppable

☆

A spark that makes a FLASH It's brighter than any LIGHTNING GAME And not a sound could ever break the chain FLASH, it's faster than any LIGHTNING SPEED An instant of power that no one's ever seen FLASH, it's brighter than any LIGHTNING GAME Raise your hands and your bow and arrow aim FLASH, it's faster than any LIGHTNING SPEED Your wish is about to be received Embedded in the FLASH
