dbsk in 'bokura no ongaku' 20090320


it seems that for the past days, i'm working on this blog alone. seriously, where are the authors???? 

dbsk/tohoshinki proved their worth in 'bokura no ongaku' last march 20. so so so impressed. 本当にすてき!!! they sang three ballads:
  • らいおんハート (lion heart) - an original SMAP song. wonderful harmonization, great job. (go jaejoong, go junsu).
  • 言葉にできない (kotoba ni dekinai) - translated roughly as "can't make words" is a Kazumasa Oda original. feel the passion in this performance.
  • ボレロ (bolero) - the group's performance is powerful in itself. add to it the great orchestra with the flute. what more can you ask for?
see the must see performance in youtube before it gets deleted.

お楽しみに!!!

FLAVOR OF LIFE

ROMANIZATION

* arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
sayounara no ato mo tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
the flavor of life, the flavor of life

tomodachi de mo koibito de mo nai chuukan chiten de
shuukaku no hi wo yume miteru aoi furuutsu
ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
jirettai no nan no tte baby

(Repeat*)

amai dake no sasoi monku ajike no nai doku
sonna mono ni wa kyoumi mo sosorarenai
omoitoori ni ikanai toki datte
jinsei suteta mon janai tte

doushita no to kyuu ni kikareru to uun nandemo nai
sayounara no ato ni kieru egao watashi rashikunai
shinjitai to negaeba negau hodo nandaka setsunai
aishiteru yo yori mo daisuki no hou ga kimi rashii n janai
the flavor of life

wasurekakete ita hito no kaori wo totsuzen omoidasu koro
furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo motto sunao ni yorokobitai yo

daiyamondo yori mo yawarakakute atataka na mirai
te ni shitai yo kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugoshitai

(Repeat*)

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

*When you say, “Thank you,” to me
It hurts for some reason
Even after our goodbyes the spell isn’t lifted
It’s slightly bittersweet
The flavor of life

In that middle ground between friends and lovers
Unripe fruit dream of the harvest day

Because I can’t take another step forward
It’s way more frustrating than usual, baby

(Repeat*)

Tempting words that just sound sweet
Flavorless conversation
That sort of stuff doesn’t excite me

When things don’t go your way
You can’t just throw your life away

When you ask me, “What’s wrong?”
Oh nothing
After our goodbyes my smile disappears
That’s not like me

The more I wish to believe
The more it hurts for some reason
Instead of saying “I love you,” doesn’t “I like you a lot”
Fit you better?
The flavor of life

Those times I suddenly recall the scent of a person I was about to forget
I want to be more open to the joy of the falling snow’s white color

More than diamonds
I want to have a soft and warm future
I want to spend the time I have left with you

(Repeat*)


————————–

JAPANESE

※ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだかせつない
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
The flavor of life※

友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
収穫の日を夢見てる 青いフルーツ

あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで
じれったいのなんのってbaby

(※くり返し)

甘いだけの誘い文句
味っけの無いトーク
そんなものには興味をそそられない

思い通りにいかない時だって
人生捨てたもんじゃないって

どうしたの?と急に聞かれると
ううん、なんでもない
さようならの後に消える笑顔
私らしくない

信じたいと願えば願うほど
なんだかせつない
「愛してるよ」よりも「大好き」の方が
君らしいんじゃない?
The flavor of life

忘れかけていた人の香りを 突然思い出す頃
降りつもる雪の白さをもっと 素直に喜びたいよ

ダイアモンドよりもやわらかくて
あたたかな未来 手にしたいよ
限りある時間を 君と過ごしたい

(※くり返し)

DBSK in NHK Utacon 20090317

just had to post this awesome live performance of "bolero". no need for more words. just listen to the song and be struck. includes a little interview too so it would be better if you know some japanese. basically, interview explains what tohoshinki means, how their experience in kouhaku (a grand music show held year end last year) was, and message to the fans. the song starts at 2:18. 

お楽しみに!!!

SMTown Collaboration: Evergreen

Since I saw my baby today(oops) and as a result, am feeling extremely happy, I decided to post one of my favorite songs from DBSK. My other baby(Changmin of course) personally wrote the lyrics to this song so I'm uber proud of him. There's more to him than meets the eye, I tell you. Changmin Hwaiting!


One of the songs from their 2007 SMTown Winter Collaboration.
Music by Micky Yoochun

Lyrics by Max Changmin XD(Love this namja to death)




동방신기

(재중)눈물에 얼룩져 버린 추억
귓가에 맴도는 니 목소리

바래진 색에 가려 한없이 지쳐만가
자꾸만 떨려오는 눈동자

(창민)비가 내리는 내맘 속에는
그대란 녹이 슬어 버렸어
지울 수 없는 것이 되어 이젠
퍼즐의 한조각으로 남아

날 부르고 있어

(유천)evergreen 서툴기만한 바보같은 난
그대가 주는 사랑을 모르고 살아왔죠

(준수)다시는 나의 곁에서 눈물 흘리지 않도록
어떤 슬픔도 가려주는 따뜻한 내가 되어 감싸 안을게

(윤호)미친듯이 뛰고있는 가슴과 피가 사라져 투명해진

(준수)두눈은 너를 찾아 해메 지금
어디서 듣고 있진 않을까

이길의 끝에

(재중)evergreen 서툴기만한 바보같은 난
그대가 주는 사랑을 모르고 살아왔죠

다시는 나의 곁에서 눈물 흘리지 않도록
어떤 슬픔도 가려주는 따뜻한 내가 되어
감싸안을게

(유천)그대없는난 무엇도 볼수 없겠죠
(윤호)그대없는난 무엇도 들리지 않죠

(준수)울지마요 내가 없는 지금 혼자인 그대니까
바보같은 너를 내품에 안고 닦아줄테니

(창민)evergreen 서툴기만한 바보같은 난
그대가 주는 사랑을 모르고 살아왔죠

(재중)다시는 나의 곁에서 눈물 흘리지 않도록
어떤 슬픔도 가려주는 따뜻한 내가 되어 감싸안을게

Evergreen

[Jaejoong]
Memories stained with tears,
Your voice rings in my ears.
Hidden by color, I'm getting exhausted,
My eyes keep trembling
[Changmin]
In my heart it's raining
And it has been covered with rust
Now I remain as one piece of puzzle,
And you are calling me.

Chorus:
[Yoochun]
Evergreen, evergreen.
Like an inexperienced fool,
I lived without seeing the love you were giving me
[Junsu]
From now on I won't let you cry;
I'll be the warmth that covers any sadness and embrace you
[Yunho]
My heart that beats like crazy, and
The rain has disappeared and it has all become clear.
[Junsu]
Hoping you'd be there listening, at the end of this road
My eyes are looking for you
I wonder if you are listening to it, somewhere

Chorus:
[Jaejoong]
Evergreen, evergreen.
Like an inexperienced fool,
I lived without seeing the love you were giving me
From now on I won't let you cry;
I'll be the warmth that covers any sadness and embrace you

[Yoochun]
Without you, I can't see anything
[Yunho]
Without you, I can't hear anything
[Junsu]
Don't cry, though you're alone without me now
I'll embrace you and wipe away your tears

Chorus:
[Changmin]
Evergreen, evergreen.
Like an inexperienced fool,
I lived without seeing the love you were giving me
[Jaejoong]
From now on I won't let you cry;
I'll be the warmth that covers any sadness and embrace you.

utada hikaru with "come back to me"

this is utada's new single and i've heard that this will be released in the US. owww.... so asian music is now coming to the western shores. this song has a slow beat to it and is all english. no need for multiple lyrics then. i do admit that she had better songs than this and i will be posting them in the future. but i do hope she does well.

the album will still be released on the 24th of march. 

enjoy!!!



COME BACK TO ME

The rain falls on my windows 
And the coldness runs through my soul 
And the rain falls, oh the rain falls 
I don’t want to be alone 
 
I wish that I could photoshop  
All our bad memories 
Cause the flashbacks, oh the flashbacks 
Won’t leave me alone 
 
If you come back to me 
I’ll be all that you need 
Baby, come back to me 
Let me make up for what happened in the past 
 
Chorus 
(Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
I’ll be everything you need (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
I’ll be everything you need (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
You’re one in a million 
(You’re one in a million) 
 
Lower east side of Manhattan 
She goes shopping for new clothes 
And she buys this, and she buys that 
Just leave her alone 
I wish that he would listen to her 
Side of the story 
It isn’t that bad, it isn’t that bad 
And she’s wiser for it now 
 
I admit I cheated (admit I cheated ) 
Don’t know why I did it (why I did it) 
But I do regret it (do regret it) 
Nothing I can do or say can change the past 
 
Chorus 
(Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
I’ll be everything you need (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
I’ll be everything you need (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
You’re one in a million 
(You’re one in a million) 
 
Everything I ever did 
Heaven knows I’m sorry babe 
I was too young to see 
You were always there for me 
And my curiosity 
Got the better of me 
Baby take it easy on me 
Anything from A to Z 
Tell me what you want to be 
I open my heart to be 
You are more priority 
Can’t you see you punished me 
More than enough already 
Baby take it easy on me 
 
Baby take it easy on me 
Baby come back to me 
Baby come back to me 
 
Chorus 
(Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
I’ll be everything you need (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
I’ll be everything you need (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
You’re one in a million 
(You’re one in a million) 
 
(Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
I’ll be everything you need (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
Boy you’re one in a million (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
I’ll be everything you need (Come back) 
Baby come back to me (Come back) 
You’re one in a million 
(One in a million)
