Kuraki Mai: Start in My Life
01.02.22
Artist: Kuraki Mai Title: Start in my Life Words: Kuraki Mai Music: Ohno Aika The future is not only full of good times, but right now I'm headed there anyway. Standing here now, I shine brighter than anyone, take back the fragile "present", but even still We can start in my life, together without giving up our dream. Hey, I can meet another me, and change myself at a moment's notice. See, we're starting from here. Just start in my life. Memories in my heart, tossing up my school bag the cherry blossom colored wind gently brushes past me. In the sepia toned classroom that doesn't fade away I left my initials carved in my desk. We can start in my life, together travelling with our dreams. Tell me, you won't forget the familiar melody when you're down just remember it. See, you're not alone. Just start in my life. So once again I keep my hopes and dreams, while holding in my racing heart and climb this stage now. Start in my life, together without giving up our dream. Hey, I can meet another me, and change myself at a moment's notice. See, we're starting from here. Just start in my life. Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: The part about meeting another me I think its just a way to express that she can change herself completely because she's got a chance to start over. This is a graduation song, which makes sense because Mai K graduates this year (2001). The part about the SEPIA toned classroom is kind of common in JPOP. Sepia tone is the color of pictures in your mind in which the color has faded a little. This a very visual culture, in manga, anime, TV shows, flashbacks, picture montages are all shown in Sepia tone or monochrome but Sepia toned scene's have the connotation of being fond memories. Mai K! Did you carve your name in this desk !? What a naughty student! Romaji To Be Added Romaji By: Brian Stewart |
