一番の宝物
Haven’t blog about anime for quite some time already. Like I say, even though I was at home every day, I did not even study a page of my lecture notes. So much for self-discipline. Anyway, this anime, Angel Beats have quite a library of songs. Its not even a music anime like K-on or Nodame. Yet the songs topped the charts. As expected from Key and their production. Mainly Jun Maeda as the composer for the music and songs. Talented composer. Come to think of it, Japan has a lot of new age music composer.
Anyway, the music is really zai. I will get the album. I hate to wait, so I will go to HMV to see if they sell. But somehow, I don’t really like the ending of angel beats. A short 13 episode with a bit of small twist was really enough to bring out the impact. They did introduce a lot of insert songs. Below is one. Too bad I can’t find the youtube link for this song. This song will be release 28th July. Quickly come out….
一番の宝物 (Original Version)
唄：karuta
作詞・作曲：麻枝准
編曲：ANANT-GARDE EYES
裾が濡れたなら
乾くの待てばいい
水音をたてて跳ねた
きみが教えてくれたんだ もう恐くない
握っていてくれたこの手を離さなきゃだめだ
ひとりでもゆくよ 例え辛くても
みんなで見た夢は 必ず持ってくよ
みんなとがいいな みんなとがよかった
でも目覚めた朝 誰も居ないんだね
もう振り返っても誰の影もない
水たまりだけが光った
生きてくことそれは立ち向かっていくこと
それがわかったなら後は踏み出す勇気だけ
どこまでもゆくよ ここで知ったこと
幸せという夢を叶えてみせるよ
みんなと離れても どんなに遠くなっても
新しい朝に この僕は生きるよ
ひとりでもゆくよ 死にたくなっても
声が聞こえるよ 死んではいけないと
例え辛くても 闇に閉ざされても
心の奥には 明かりが灯ってるよ
巡って流れて 時は移ろいだ
もう何があったか 思い出せないけど
目を閉じてみれば みんなの笑い声
なぜかそれが今一番の宝物

My Most Precious Treasure (Original Version)
Vocals: karuta
Lyrics / Composition: Jun Maeda
Arrangement: ANANT-GARDE EYES
If the bottom of my pants get wet,
I can just wait until they dry.
At the sound made by the water, I jumped.
You taught me this. I’m not afraid anymore.
I have to let go of this hand that was holding on to mine.
Even alone, I’ll go on, even if it’s painful.
I’ll definitely take along the dream I saw with everyone.
It’s nice to be with everyone; I was glad to be with everyone.
But in the morning I woke up to, no one were there.
If I look back now, not even a shadow is there.
Only a small pool of water was shining.
To live on is to stand and move forward
When you understand that, all you need is just to bring out the courage.
I’ll go anywhere with the things that I learned here.
I’ll show that I can make the happy dream come true.
Even if we’re apart, no matter how far apart we become,
In a new morning, I am still alive.
Even alone, I’ll go on. Even if I want to die,
I’ll hear a voice telling me that I cannot die.
Even if it’s painful, even if darkness closes me in,
Deep in my heart, the lights will remain bright.
Turning and flowing along, time is transient.
What has happened? I can’t remember,
But if I try closing my eyes, I hear everyone’s laughing voices.
For some reason, that is now my most precious treasure.
Not a perfect translation, but I did my best. Google translator helps you know, VERY MINIMUM!
