Be yourself! ~ The Root of Heads
So, today I opened my blog. It’s been almost 5 months since my last post. People may think I am dead or something. But hey! Here I am! Alive and healthy, busy with visa, studies and work. Hopefully it will be better in a month or so!
Fun fact: I kind of wanted to post randomly either “Keep Changing” or “噓偽りノ世界” (Primary, liberator, OMG I love this CD), BUT, my phone is dead and I am too lazy to send my translations to my PC or copying them. Maybe I should start publishing posts when I’m on the train. Maybe.
Anyway. See you (hopefully) soon! And this reminds me I said on discord would have had published/scheduled GSS’ Day 02, but I have already published that day, so technically I have to schedule day 03, but since the compact file is not ready, I just skipped it. Hooray.
tl;dr this song is so optimistic and I just love it. It boosts my morale so much every time I listen to it. I wonder if that’s because I pretty much see my way of thinking in this song.

Be yourself!
さぁ 下向いたら見えるものが
気づけば遠くなって
消えてしまうその光を
見逃さないようにと
saa shitamuitara mieru mono ga
kizukeba tooku natte
kieteshimau sono hikari wo
minogasanai youni to
So, if you’ve noticed that what you see when
You look down becomes distant
And that light has disappeared
You shouldn’t overlook it
ねえ 顔を上げて探してみよう
今行かなくちゃきっと
自分が多分許せなくて
進めなくなっちゃう
nee kao wo agete sagashitemiyou
ima ikanakucha kitto
jibun ga tabun yurusenakute
susumenakunacchau
Hey, lift your head, let’s try to search them
We have to go there now
Or you may not forgive yourself
And won’t move on
Cry?迷っていたんだいつも…
そんなじゃさ 君らしくないだろう?
Cry? mayotteitanda itsumo…
sonna ja sa kimi rashiku nai darou?
Cry? When you were lost, always…
But, you see, that isn’t like you, no?
君の悩んでアレコレは
あしたを変えるガイド
次の場所 目指すとき
思い出になる
kimi no nayande arekore wa
ashita wo kaeru gaido
tsugi no basho mezasu toki
omoide ni naru
All this and that troubling you is
A guide changing tomorrow
The next place where you’ll go to
Will become a memory
泣いてばっかりじゃいられない
ちょっと笑ってごらん
ほら少し顔あげて
君らしくなれ
naite bakkari ja irarenai
chotto warattegoran
hora sukoshi kao agete
kimirashiku nare
You can’t always just cry
Try to smile
Come on, lift your head
And be yourself
そう 君は何を見ているのかい
思ってたこととは
No!少し違う そんなことで
ちょっと混乱してるね
sou kimi wa nani wo miteiru no kai
omotteta koto to wa
No! sukoshi chigau sonna koto de
chotto konran shiteru ne
Say, what are you looking at?
I was thinking that…
No! You’re a bit wrong, you’re
Making some confusion
それでもまた歩き出せる
答えは一つじゃない
不安と期待抱えたまま
誰もが探してる
soredemo mata arukidaseru
kotae wa hitotsu janai
fuan to kitai kakaeta mama
daremo ga sagashiteru
Yet, you can still move on
There’s not just one answer
Holding anxiety and expectations
Everybody is searching it
Try!いくつもの涙伝う
Why?君は君 そうだろう?
Try! ikutsumo no namida tsutau
Why? kimi wa kimi sou darou?
Try! Let all your tears come out
Why? Because you’re you, no?
きっと君も気づいているはず
全ては自分次第!
新しい扉なら
君の手で…そうだ!
kitto kimo wo kidzuiteiru hazu
subete wa jibun shidai!
atarashii tobira nara
kimi no te de… sou da!
I’m sure you too have noticed
Everything depends upon you!
If there’s a new door
Open it… yes, like that!
目指す場所が見えた時に
その先で待ってるさ
君だけの“トクベツ”が
迷わずに行け
mezasu basho ga mieta toki ni
sono saki de matteru sa
kimi dake no “tokubetsu” ga
mayowazu ni yuke
When you’ll see the place you’re going
There will be waiting
Yours only “special” one
Don’t hesitate and go
どうにもならないなら
考えるのやめて
時にはこんなことも
あるんじゃないかって
笑おう
dounimo naranai nara
kangaeru no yamete
toki ni wa konna koto mo
arunjanai katte
waraou
If nothing can be done
Stop thinking about it
There are times when even
Such things happen, no?
So smile
君が歩いてきたその道は
誰にも消せやしない
自分らしいやり方で
思い出にして
kimi ga aruitekita sono michi wa
dare ni mo keseyashinai
jibunrashii yari kata de
omoide ni shite
The path you have walked so far is
Something nobody can erase
Make memories with what
Suits you most
どこに何があるんだろう
今なら見に行こうよ
もう何も ためらわず
君らしくあれ
dokoni nani ga arundarou
ima nara mi ni ikou yo
mou nanimo tamerawazu
kimi rashiku are
There’s always something somewhere
Let’s go and see it now
Never, ever hesitate
And be yourself
Let’s get started with me!
