kotomichi's community for subs, lyrics translations, etc. i generally sub arashi variety shows, but really, anything i feel like subbing goes. i translate both arashi and non-arashi lyrics (even if they're really old and have been translated dozens of times before).

posts with videos are public for a week, after which they're locked. membership is open, however.

although i do my best, please note that i am not fluent. this comm is mainly for me to keep up with my japanese practice. please feel free to point out any mistakes you might find, it's greatly appreciated!

please read the rules, leave a comment every now and then, and enjoy! ♥

i have to admit, i don't really know what the "tada ushinau dake demo~" line is supposed to mean :x the lyrics seem very much related to the drama though, so maybe it'll become more clear as it progresses? i've just made a bit of a guess for now, haha :'D

i love this song, everything about it gives off such a sweet and optimistic vibe. listening to it makes me feel all kinds of things, haha. certain parts of the lyrics just really speak to me. ;; i personally also adore the way sho sings "reason for my li~fe" followed by jun's "kizande yukouuu~" ♡

my favourite ayh? solo. it feels really modern, even futuristic to me somehow, i can't explain it. and the lyrics are heartbreaking ;; (though i don't understand the "kangaetsuku subete ni..." line. maybe i misunderstood it?) seriously, why is this song so good?

this song grew on me super fast and now i love it. that whole futuristic, "robotic" feel of the song is great. and even though they don't sound anything alike, i kinda think of this song as a sibling song to nino's solo (and it's not because he supervised it). somehow they just fit together.

i don't... entirely understand what the song is about? which made it a little tricky to translate, lol. it sounds beautiful though, both the lyrics and the song itself. all the harmonizing is just so lovely! and i'm sooooo weak for that "all my love is you" line, ahhh asfjh ;;

this song is just so cute and positive. and kinda catchy, too. oh, baby blue ♪ i love the "nakanaide / hora / kimi dake ga kimi rashii kara" the best though, it's just... aw. jun ;v;

one of my favourites from the ayh? album. the fact that it has such nice lyrics makes it even better. the entire song really gives off that laidback, "on a roadtrip with my friends, and together we can conquer the world" kind of vibe. the first time i listened to it, i immediately pictured sakumoto in the front and the other three in the back, so i love that jun thought the same thing for the live tour c: ♥
