Thank you all for visiting. I started song translation in hope of sharing my love for music. I have always wished I can understand the songs I listen to and I believe that there might be others who think the same. I try to update the content as much as I can, depending on the real world situations.
Hope you enjoy your visit.

99年 ミレニアムを間近にして 99 nen mireniamu wo majika ni shi te ナチュラルハイ nachuraru hai
世界中が浮足立ってた sekaijuu ga ukiashidatteta そしてお前は soshite omae wa ファイトクラブでブラピが熱演してた faito kurabu de burapi ga netsuen shiteta イカれた野郎に憧れてた ikareta yarou ni akogareteta
皮肉で染まった色眼鏡かけて hiniku de somatta iromegane kakete そこからすべてのものを見下し soko kara subete no mono wo mikudashi
仮想敵見つけ そいつと戦ってた kasou teki mitsuke soitsu to tatakatteta 誰も相手になんかしてないのに dare mo aite ni nanka shitenai noni 例え敵でも 嫌いな奴でも tatoe teki demo kirai na yatsu demo ひとりより まだマシだった hitori yori mada mashi datta 孤独がいちばんの敵だった kodoku ga ichiban no teki datta

サイレンの音… sairen no oto… 走って逃げた夜 hashitte nigeta yoru
やがて酔いが回り yagate yoi ga mawari 口にしたすべてを吐き散らかし高笑い kuchi ni shi ta subete wo hakichirakashi takawarai 「若かった」で片付けたくないくらい 'wakakatta' de katazuketakunai kurai この胸の中でキラキラ kono mune no naka de kirakira 輝いてる大事な宝物 kagayaiteru daiji na houmotsu

共に今を生き抜こうか My Friend tomoni ima wo ikinukou ka My Friend
Kanji lyrics from http://kashicafe.com/mr-children/fight-club English Translation from http://utau-inu.com/2015/07/mr-children-fight-club/ with edits
1999. Everywhere in the world people were restless, high off the approaching millennium and there you were, idolizing the crazy dude from Fight Club played with intensity by Brad Pitt.
wearing those sunglasses with lenses tinted by sarcasm up there, looking down on everything else.
you found an imaginary enemy and did battle with him even though no one would actually step in the ring with you be it rival or just someone you didn’t like it was still better than being alone loneliness was your real worst enemy
We can’t go back, and we can’t go home to those foolhardy days even if we try to hold ourselves back
You lament that, “nobody gets it, none of them.” while telling yourself that you’re somehow special.
you jumped and danced on the hood of an illegally parked Jaguar with jerky dance moves making like you were some back alley hero you crushed your wretched mood underfoot
the sound of the siren… the night you bolted and ran off.
and now you’re reeling from the booze, throwing up everything you put your lips to, with a hearty laugh It’s a precious treasure twinkling in my heart that shines so brightly that I refuse to dismiss it as the “folly of youth.”
You found the real enemy. And now you must fight. there will be more and more things to be afraid of but you have to be willing to die, better yet, willing to be killed because we’re not special any more.
so let’s find a way to survive this together, my friend.
