Alone again
Sung by: Okada Jun'ichi & 20th Century
Translated by: Mina-P (Email: Minako@senshigakuen.com)
Version 1.00

Note: This song is a very pretty, albeit somewhat cheesy love ballad. Despite the credits on this one, it's basically an Okada-kun solo. 20th Century basically just comes in to sing one verse and part of the choruses. While I thing it's a really lovely song, I must admit that I have some problems with it. While Okada-kun did a good job, I think that he was just too young to really pull off a big ballad solo like this. Now, what I'd REALLY like to hear is Okada-kun do this one NOW. THAT would be something that would truly make hearts melt. ^_^

nigiri kaesanai te ni wa
kimi ga mou inai tte koto o
kizu ni oshieteru     tsumori kai
itsumo to kawaranai     machi no naka de

This hand doesn't let go once it's grasped you
Is this wound
Supposed to tell me     that you're no longer here
In the middle of the street     same as always

mujaki ni warau shashin ga
iroasete     hagarekakeru
kimi to atta koro     hayatteta
ano uta wa mou
dare mo utawanai kedo

The photograph where we're inoccently laughing
Is dulling     beginning to fade
When I met you     it was getting popular
But no one sings
That song any more

I never fallin'     love again
nante iwanai
dare demo nai yo     kimi de yokatta
I never fallin'     love again
nante ienai
ima no jibun o     suki ni nareta yo

I never fallin'     love again
I won't say that
Not just anyone     I'm glad it was you
I never fallin'     love again
I can't say that
I started to like     the person I became

koko kara hajimeyou
mata itsuka     deau tame ni

I'm going to start from now on
So that someday     I can meet you again

kimi o waruku iu yatsu o
yurusu boku de itaku nai yo
futari dake ni shika     dekinakatta
machigai mo Kiss mo
nakusenai monogatari     Oh,

I don't want to be someone
Who'll forgive people who wrong you
We couldn't do anything     just the two of us
It's a story where I can't want to lose
The mistakes or the Kisses     Oh,

I never fallin'     love again
nante iwanai
kanarazu kimi o     mata dakishimeru
I never fallin'     love again
nante ienai
mirai no boku ga     kimi o yonderu

I never fallin'     love again
I won't say that
I'll definitely hold you     once more
I never fallin'     love again
I can't say that
My future self     is calling out to you

ariteyukeba ii
boku ga senaka     osu kara

Go ahead and start walking
Because I'll     be boosting you from behind

ano koro no boku-tachi wa
machigaete bakari ita
dakedo sore wa     taisetsu na
resson datta
ima nara wakaru     subete ga

At that time, we just
Made nothing but mistakes
But that was     a precious
Lesson for us
And now I understand     everything

I never fallin'     love again
nante iwanai
kanarazu kimi o     mata dakishimeru
I never fallin'     love again
nante ienai
mirai no boku ga     kimi o yonderu

I never fallin'     love again
I won't say that
I'll definitely hold you     once more
I never fallin'     love again
I can't say that
My future self     is calling out to you

koko kara hajimeyou
mata itsuka     deau tame ni

I'm going to start from now on
So that someday     I can meet you again

Lyrics belong to Yamada Hiroshi and Avex Trax, taken from the Nature Rhythm album, AVCD-11576 (track 7). Not like the words make any sense if you haven't heard the song, anyway. Romanized and translated into English very badly by Mina-P, with desperately needed help, as always, by Mako-chan. Any comments or corrections can be mailed to Mina-P at Minako@senshigakuen.com.
