[Discuss] The AKB48 Lyrics Discussion Thread

[SomethingWild]

It's time for some lyrics discussion! Everthing from forbidden love to vegetables...

Which lyrics really speak to you? Which lyrics motivate you to get through the day? Feel free to discuss anything 

---------

Team B's Shonichi has some really real lyrics. They always inspire me to work a little bit harder, especially the 'yume wa ase no naka ni' part. If you want your dreams to come true, you gotta work for it!

Kuchi utsushi no Chocolate's lyrics really inspire me to sit down, relax and fap.

[Masa]

Come on, stand up!
From the depths of that despair,
Come on, stand up!
Raise up that battered body of yours!

I will
Even if my hometown burns down, and they all run away
I will
Even if the blood of the people flows, and they all cry out
I will
Even if the missiles rain down, covering the sky
I will
Even if the soldiers come over the country borderline

Stand up!
I won’t cast aside this country
Stand up!
We live
Stand up!
Truth is justice
Stand up!
We won’t die

Come now, walk on!
From the trails of sorrow and tears,
Come now, walk on!
Once more, show what you’re made of

To protect our family and friends,
You should move yourself ahead
Amidst the smoke and dust,
The road continues into tomorrow
Even if amidst the ruins the unseen flag
Waves in the blowing winds,
Don't cry!
Don't fly!
Don't lie!　
I try!
One day, my prayer will reach out

The lost world
I should go!
The lost world
I have to go!
The lost world
I wanna go!
The lost world

Come on, stand up!
Amidst the quarrels and hatred
Come now, walk on!
So many times the sun rises
Come on, stand up!
As we bathe in a new light,
Come now, walk on!
Don’t lose to adversity

Stand up!
I love the world
Stand up!
Now, what can I do?
Stand up!
I’ll love the world
Stand up!
Until we can smile again

Come on, stand up!
From the depths of that despair
Come now, walk on!
From the trails of sorrow and tears
Come on, stand up!
Raise up that battered body of yours!
Come now, walk on!
Once more, show what you’re made of!

Stand Up

damn I love so many AKB songs I dunno where to start.

well currently Jibun Rashisa makes me feel good about myself.

Love Wars: "This town is a battlefield every day"

I usually listen to it in the train and I think by myself "true dat."

Just the sub clips I did, uploaded to YT. They all have interesting lyrics. Except Pajama Drive, which was done just because its 100% cute~

In the bunch, Inochi no Tsukaimichi gives me the biggest impression. It's lyrics hints reminds me of early AKB's edgy style. It was my first try subbing, took around 10 hours to get it timed right. And after listening to it for so long, I got a fever after finishing it. Some funny stuff from the commentary audio track (Ohta, Miichan and Nacchan):
1. Miichan asks what the "Da Da Dare.." echo is actually saying.  Nacchan says it's "Dareka Ni Aisaretai" (I want to be loved by someone). Miichan goes "Dare? Kore? SOU-DA!"
2. When Yukirin does the "It all just rusts together inside my heart" move, all 3 of them freak out. (that move gets me every time )
3. When Mayuyu says "Old man, what do you want?" they all scream "WE WANT MAYUYU!!~~"

[YandereNeko]

wahaaaa
where do I start?
everyone should know my favorite song is "Majisuka Rock N Roll"
xDD;;
But for a song that really /speaks/ to me. . .?
That would HAVE to be "Boku No Hana" sung by Hoshino Michiru ( The Suicide Song <3 )
even if it was from a movie. . . //sniff

"Near my house there delicately
Bloomed a small flower
In the shade it drooped its head
As no one noticed it
Why, oh why has it become helpless?
Why, oh why does it all seem so fleeting?
Why have I been
Born into this world?
A blue train passes
And the flower sways from the wind
Even now as it flies about
A nameless, pretty existence
Truly, oh truly this design has become regrettable
Truly, oh truly it resembles somebody
Why am I living
In this corner?
Nevertheless, the nameless flower
In this limited season spitefully continues to bloom
Until the day comes when it withers
It will not be from me to the earth
Why, oh why has it become so helpless?
Why, oh why does it all seem so fleeting?
These white petals
Truly, oh truly this design has become regrettable
Truly, oh truly it resembles someone
Why am I living
In this corner?
Near my house there delicately
Bloomed a small flower
Even though nobody noticed it
In this way only I watched it"

Just subbed one of Team B's 5th Stage songs. Honest Man.
One reason was because it's such a lively song. B4 was awesome, but in turn it made B5 kinda disappointing. This song gives me hope that with some time 'new' Team B will be just as fun.
The other reason is it's just funny seeing Mikapon in a song with this theme! (Yeah, it's from Komori's birthday show, so the camera is on her)
Again, apologies for any translation errors on my end!

Team B's 5th Stage song - Team B Oshi
I did it while subbing Honest Man. But gave up, because I couldn't find any performance where all main members were present.
So I merged a few performances into one (people with sharp eyes will see the differences pretty easily)

Mayuyu is so cute at the end.
Again, apologies for any translation errors on my end!

There's always the shonichi; they've GOT to be all there for that

^But I'm lazy. Maybe I'll just wait till the DVD, or even the 2011 Setlist!

Taking a break after this one.
It's one I like a lot though! Majijo Teppen Blues from AKB Live @ YYG.


Thanks to Hana @ AKB-48.COM for sharing the original translated lyrics

No Sleeves - Relax!

i've been working on my project like crazy in these two months
this song makes me want to relax for a while

[winner]

About time for some Team B promoting just before setlist 100.
It's 100 Metres Convenience Store~ Chiyuu's BD performance!

It has really cute lyrics. A really cute dance.
And a really cute beat! I keep expecting DDR arrows to come up from the bottom of the screen.

Update: And here's a link for anyone who wants to download it.
