Ultra Soul
Performed by: B'z
Translated by: Mina-P (Email: Minako@senshigakuen.com)
Version 1.00
Note: B'z is such a great group that has written some truly great songs as well as some truly astounding lyrics. Ultra Soul is no different. It's by far one of the catchiest songs I've ever heard, making it a quintessential Crack Candy Song(tm). Even though this song came out in the winter, the theme was "summer". The video was therefore shot in the middle of a pool (thanks to a clear platform in the middle, even the drummer got out there) as Inaba-san stripped out of his "bulky" winter clothes to reveal a very, very cool looking neon pink shirt and tight leather pants. He says the shooting was overall very cold and extremely wet, but look at the end product. Nothing says "summertime" to me like Inaba-san in leather pants. Have I mentioned he's really really hot? Mmmm....
dore dake ganbarya ii dareka no tame na no?
wakatteiru no ni omoi wa yuragu
How hard should we try? Who are we doing this for?
I know all of this but my feelings are wavering
ketsumatsu bakari ni ki o torare kono toki o tanoshimenai memai
You only think about the end I can't enjoy myself like this Dizzy
yume ja nai are mo kore mo sono te de doa o akemashou
shukufuku ga hoshii no nara kanashimi o shiri hitori de nakimashou
soshite kagayaku urutora souru
It's not a dream, not this or that With our own hands let's open the door
If you want to be blessed get to know your sorrow and cry when you're all alone
And then, it's glittering Ultra Soul
onore no genkai ni kizuita tsumori kai?
kasurikizu sae mo nai mama owarisou
Did you plan on discovering my limits?
It looks like it'll end without even a scratch
ichiban daiji na hito ga hora itsudemo anata o miteru I can tell
The person who means the most to you is always watching you I can tell
yume ja nai are mo kore mo ima koso mune o harimashou
shukufuku ga hoshii no nara sokonashi no pein mukaeteagemashou
soshite tatakau urutora souru
It's not a dream, not this or that Now, you must open your heart
If you want to be blessed then welcome your bottomless pain
And then, it's fighting Ultra Soul
kibou to shitsubou ni asobarete kitaenukareru Do it
You let desire and despair play with you Train it out of you Do it
yume ja nai are mo kore mo ima koso mune o harimashou
shukufuku ga hoshii no nara yorokobi o shiri paa tto baramake
honto darake are mo kore mo sono mattadanaka abareteyarimashou
soshite habataku urutora souru
It's not a dream, not this or that Now, you must open your heart
If you want to be blessed get to know your pleasure and suddenly it's scattered
It's nothing but the truth, this and that right in the middle of it let's cut loose and go wild
And then, it takes flight Ultra Soul
urutora souru
