arashi with everything

this single was released on july 1st and easily made its way to number 1 in the oricon charts. i am a little biased towards tohoshinki so i was all out on their single "stand by u" instead which ranked 2nd. i have never listened to this arashi song since it broke my tohoshinki expectation.

to cut the story short, i listened to it today and now i know why it ranked 1st. it is a pretty good song. it is catchy and fun.. after listening to it, you somehow feel good. good job... woot woo... this is only the 2nd song after "truth" from arashi that i have truly appreciated. and i have just listened to it for the 3rd time in a row.

お楽しみに!

Toori ame ga chikazuku

Machi no nioi wa setsunakute

ASUFARUTO ni nokoshita

Ashibaya ni sekai wa mawari tsuzuketeru

Aka kara ao ni kawaru SHIGUNARU

Modoru koto no dekinai tabi no tochuu de

Ashita wo shinjite susumitai

Kono yuudachi no naka de hitori

Kurikaeri tachidomaru koto mo arukedo

TRANSLATION

the passing rain draws closer, the smell of the city is bittersweet

the shadows left on the pavement seemed different than usual

as if the everchanging sky was refelcting my wavering heart

the world continues turning at a fast pace

the signal that changes from red to green

in the midst of a journey of no return

I want to go forward believing in tomorrow

alone in this evening shower

there may be times when I stop and look back

but I won't be afraid of anything

the evening sunflowers that I can see from the window after the rain

are dyed by the sunset and waiting for the sunrise

sometimes it seems like I'll lose sight of what's important

but I walk on holding the feelings I won't let go

dyed with a brilliant blue

the future sketched out endless dreams

moistening my dry heart

in the midst of this limited time

I strongly carved the emotions into my heart

the sun will rise again

even knowing what I would see

when I cross this long hill

I don't want to have regrets

I'll keep going and shine on tomorrow like the sun

the signal that changes from red to green

in the midst of a journey of no return

I want to go forward believing in tomorrow

run run, reach out your hands to your dreams

shout shout, as long as your voice goes on

in the way that your heart feels

JAPANESE

遠い雨が近づく

街のにおいは切なくて

アスファルトに残した

影はいつもと違って見えた

変わり続ける空は　ゆるれ心を移すよに

足早に世界は回り続けてる

赤から青に変わるシグナル

戻ることもできない旅の途中で

明日を信じて進みたい

この夕立の中で一人

繰りかえり立ち止ることもあるけど

何も恐れはしない

雨上がりの窓から　見える夕暮れのひまわり

夕焼けに染められて　朝日を待ち続けているんだ

何が大切なのか時見失いそうだけど

譲れない思いを抱え歩いゆく

鮮やかな青に染められた　

未来は果てしない夢を描いた

乾いた心　潤して

限られたこのときの中で

強く胸に思いを刻み込んだ

日はまだ昇ってゆく

この長い坂を　超える時　その先に何が見えたとしても

後悔はしたくない　光とほし続け明日を照らして

赤から青に変わるシグナル

戻ることもできない旅の途中で

明日を信じて進みたい

走れ走れ　夢に手を伸ばすのさ

叫べ叫べ　これも続くたびに

心の感じるままに
