Ai Kotoba

I'm replaying the same song over and over again. This time, it's Ai Kotoba--- a Japanese song, translated as "Words of Love". Did I mention I was learning Japanese before? Well, I have now. I'm learning Japanese, and with the minimal Japanese I've picked up, it's enough for me to understand the lyrics of the song (not that I'm capable of doing a literal word-to-word translation). The lyrics are kind of childish, but I think I'm just excited because I can understand something in Japanese.

Hmm, yeah, I'm a Vocaloid fan too. If you don't know what that is I really can't be bothered explaining. I guess I don't actually mind their voices, it's all about the nice music. Recently I've begun to love this artist called Tomohisa Sako, because of his cover of Vocaloid songs. He has such an attractive voice...

I guess I haven't done much recently. I went out today with my best friend. I must say she makes a better shopping companion than my mother- not that it's saying much, almost anyone would make a better shopping companion than my mother- but my friend IS wonderful. I now have proper shirts which I would not mind wearing. I bought a new pacer too, because my mother borrowed my old one and lost it. Thought I'd share. Now all I'm missing is a proper marker, before I can get back to serious drawing.

For now, life is good.

Oh, proper translated lyrics for Ai Kotoba, credit to this guy: http://rock-n-roll-shamisen.tumblr.com

You always took care of my childishness

For listening to me I’ll always be grateful, grateful.

I hid them inside along with my feelings

and tried to put it into a song.

My love words are “Love is Tenfold = Thank you”.

and fondness, and dislike

I’ll sing of them again.

I mean to say I’m in love with you

Rather, I’m in love with you

To someone as foolish as me

you gave me your affection and your love

For listening to this song and crying, thank you.

Then I’ll meet you and we’ll celebrate it 39 times.

This gratitude, carried by songs and verses

I’ve created through my life, I’ll send it to you.

From here on out, I will be in your care.

and fondness and dislike, is it still not enough?

“What did you do?”

“How much did you think about me?

Why don’t you tell me about that.

“What did you do?”

“Somehow, it seems that I forgot all about you.”

But that’s actually a lie.

The truth is I love you very much.

I just can’t bring myself to hurt you.

I’ll give you all my heart.

I want to laugh with you saying

“So this was your song.”

A me who is like you

We’re alike but different

We’re different, so we’re alike

these feelings of love keep growing and sending

from me to you, so many LOVE WORDS.

I will never forget about those favors

Me and you, and affection, and love

Right now I’m in love with you

One day, my childish side will be 100,000 years old.

Me and you, and affection, and love

Well then.

“What did you eat yesterday?”

“Did you eat?”

I’m in love with you.

But I’m in love with you.

A you who is like me

As I keep saying I love you,
