A family meeting the reality of a wedding (COME ON) He's such an indecisive cute guy *3 twinkling Midnight SO DANCE Be in love with me BABY there's an immature side to me, not ready yet. dreaming in the city of love's early-afternoon the world is looking on the bright side with spirit. *4 The chemistry of a woman in love and her man When there's a reaction it's KISS KISS & KISS The magic power of a man in love and his woman they'll stay together through the lonely night and dream. Translated By: Brian Stewart & Takako Sakuma Translator's Notes: We're sure to get flack for this title but we'll get more into that later in *'s section. For now let's get it on. *1 - This line is tricky to translate but the gist is "the mature side of me is saying these things" *2 - bigaku is often used in Men's (sometimes women's) fashion or lifestyle magazines. It is usually used to describe the method to live a stylish "cool" life. Literally translated the word means "aesthetics" but since that makes for a bad title, we've changed it to Do's and Don'ts of Coolness. Tsunku was likely referring to the slang usage of the term popular in those magazines etc. What to call the song is up to you all though. "The Way to be Cool" "The Aesthetics of Cool" something like that would be ok I think. *3 - kawaii the way it's used here sounds a little like it might be a negative meaning. Partially 'cause it's paired with the word "indecisive" which is not a very masculine or desirable quality for a man. *4 - I'm still not sure about this line exactly. migi*kata*agari means something like "looking up" or "things are looking better" "taking a positive view of things" According to Ayaya the image for this song was of a beautiful boy. She certainly is beautiful. This kind of look could go on the cover of Binan anyday.
