E.M.U Lyrics: Sotsugyou M

SONG LYRICS: SOTSUGYOU M
These lyrics are for songs credited to the M characters as opposed to E.M.U songs. If you're confused now, you'll be even more confused soon....but let's work with it, ne? :)

I've only transcribed songs for which I have the kanji available, because to me it's a done deal - you have the kanji and the transliteration or you don't have the song. Kanji is so important in Japanese songs after all :) Please note I am only interested in scans from the pamphlets/lyric sheets and not typed up kanji. This is partly because transcribing these is really good Japanese practice for me, but also because then I can be 100% on accuracy and work from the original :)

[Nakamoto Shou] [Arai Tougo] [Takagi Shimon] [Katou Yuusuke] [Shimura Mikimaro] [Group Songs "M"]

This is a work in progress. I have much eagerness but not much time :) So little by little I'm working on this...patience, onegaishimasu!)
My thanks to lina_inverse for your scanning (character image scans on this page courtesy of her) and all your other help!!!

平々凡々
Hey Hey Bomb Bomb
(Character Special CD single release)

漢字
いつも通り朝を迎え
ミルクにトースト
通い慣れた道を抜け
て出掛けてゆくのさ
定規で測っても
1ミリ違わない
毎日

波乱ばかり求めるのも
悪くはないけど
ふと気づいた足元にも
幸せはあるよ

人にはそれぞれの
ドラマがあるはずさ
背伸びをしなくても
明日は来るから

飛びたいでも飛びなくて
僕はずっとこのまま
可もなく　また不可もなく
日々は平々凡々
It's my life.

日常には危険なほど
Bombが隠れてる
だからきっと愛しあえる
人を捜してる

何もないテーブルに
花を飾るだけで
モノクロの世界が
色づき始める

浮かんですぐ消えてゆく
夢のような幻想
やむなくそうそれとなく
日々は平々凡々
It's my life.

飛びたいでも飛びなくて
可もなく　また不可もなく

飛びたいでも飛びなくて
僕はずっとこのまま
可もなく　また不可もなく
日々は平々凡々
It's my life.

Translation
With milk I toast
The coming ordinary morning
I'm about to leave my
well worn, familiar pathway
Even if you measured it with a ruler,
There'd be not even a milimetre difference
(That's) everyday.

I'm just looking for some ups and downs
Nothing's bad, exactly, but
I've come to realise that
happiness is also at my feet

People usually ought to have
Some drama in their lives
Even if you overreach yourself
Tomorrow will still come

I want to fly, but I can't fly
I'm always the same
Things are neither good or bad
Every day is commonplace
It's my life.

A bomb that pushes the limits
is hidden in my every day life
Because surely I'm seeking
Someone who'll share my love

You only need flowers
To dress up an empty table
A world of monochrome is
Beginning to change colour

A dream like an illusion
that flickers and soon fades
Reluctantly like that, yet not
Every day is commonplace
It's my life.

I want to fly but I can't fly
Things are neither good or bad

I want to fly, but I can't fly
I'm always the same
Things are neither good or bad
Every day is commonplace
It's my life.

Notes: Although on the front of the Mini-CD, the single is titled in English characters as "Hey Hey Bomb Bomb", in the lyrics it's actually written　"平々凡々" (Heiheibonbon), which means "very commonplace" or "completely ordinary". So although it "seems" like a really strange song title - actually, it isn't ;) What he's really saying is "Everyday is commonplace - it's my life".)
I really like this song too. It and the one below sum up Nakamoto Shou really nicely, in my (fangirlish, character-geekish) opinion :)

Another Face, Another Life
(Oretachi No Sotsugyou Album)

漢字
安定したレールを歩いてきた
それが僕を支える人生だと

誰も傷つけずに
そして傷つかずに
逆らわず

君に会うまでは
砂漠のような日々が
ずっと正しいと思って過ごしてきた
けど

もうひとりの僕の顔
胸の中で産声を上げるよ

人はいつも他人の一面しか
見ないうちにすべてを決めてしまう

彼は冷たいとか
君は優しいとか
おかしいね

違う価値観を
認めることができず
狭い水槽に
自分を閉じ込めていたよ

ゆりかごから墓場まで
物語は幾通りもあるさ
もうひとつの人生と
恐れないで
向かい合ってみよう

(お話）

もうひとりの僕の顔
胸の中で産声を上げるよ

もうひとつの人生と
恐れないで
向かい合ってみよう

Translation
Walking along a steady rail
That was what underpinned my life

I didn't hurt anyone
And nobody hurt me
Without disobeying

Until I met you
Every day was like a desert
I always thought that was the right way to be
However

Inside of my heart another kind of me
is letting out its infant cry

People are always judging others only on first sight
deciding everything without seeing beyond

"He's cold" or
"You're kind"
Strange, isn't it?

Because I couldn't see
Other people's views
I trapped myself
In a narrow water tank (?!)

From the cradle to the grave
There are always many tales
If you have another life
Without being afraid of it
Let's each face up to a different point of view

(Spoken section)

Inside of my heart another kind of me
is letting out its infant cry

If you have another life
Without being afraid of it
Let's each face up to a different point of view

Notes:
This is probably my favourite Hayashi Sotsugyou M/E.M.U song. When I have time I'll sit and properly transcribe all the spoken words from it as well - but that's not in the kanji lyrics! I did take part of it for the Sotsugyou media page, but he says a lot more than that.
　Roughly he's talking about how you can only live once and therefore you should make the most of it...this is particularly poignant an emotion if you've read the manga and seen his struggles against his father's pressure and ideas.
"Another kind of me" is not a literal translation. It's actually more accurately "Another me's other face" but that doesn't seem to go quite right...

Ren'ai Shousetsu
(Love Story)
(OVA Song Collection - OVA Opening Theme)

漢字

昨夜読み終えた
恋愛の小説の主人公に
僕は知らぬ間に
あなたの面影を
重ねていた

近くて遠い人だね
そのやさしさは
日溜りより暖かくて

こんなにも小さな手のひらで
あなたのため
何ができるだろう
かなわない恋だとわかってる
指も唇も
僕のものじゃない
だけど遠くから
見つめるだけで
幸せだよ

大好きな人に
１度でもいいから伝えたいよ
鉢植えにそっと
水をあげるように
愛してると
何度も手紙を書いて
そのまま捨てた
そんなこおのくり返しさ

こんなにも静かな昼下がり
あなたは今
何をしてるだろう
恋愛小説の始まりは
僕には書けない
せめて夢の中
あなたを誘って
川の流れる
町へ行こう

こんなにも小さな手のひらで
あなたのため
何ができるだろう
かなわない恋だとわかってる
指も唇も
僕のものじゃない
だけど遠くから
見つめるだけで
幸せだよ

Translation

Like the main character in the book
I finished reading last night
In a moment without my knowing
A fleeting glimpse of your face
Once more appears

You're a nearby and a distant person
This gentleness is
A warmth from where the sun breaks through

And just like this, in the palm of my small hand
For your sake there's surely
Something I can do
I understand that it's unrequited love
Your fingers and your lips
Don't belong to me
But from far away
Just to gaze at you
Brings me happiness

I want to tell the person I love
Just once, like gently watering
A potted plant
"I love you"
I've written countless letters
And resigned myself
To being this way
In this repetitive cycle

And on this peaceful early afternoon, too
Surely you're doing
Something now
The opening of a love story
is something I can't write
At least inside my dreams
I can invite you
To come with me to the city
Where the river flows

And just like this, in the palm of my small hand
For your sake there's surely
Something I can do
I understand that it's unrequited love
Your fingers and your lips
Don't belong to me
But from far away
Just to gaze at you
Brings me happiness

Notes: Shousetsu actually means "novel", but in this case "story" seemed to be a better title translation.
