This was attempted by request. You can view the original video here. Thank you to eidosvampire900 for kindly uploading this video. i apologize for the blank parts and areas of ambiguity.


Eiji: Keita-san, that last "I only loved you--"
Keita: Did you notice?
Eiji: Don't just say it so quickly. Sheesh, be useful for once.
Keita: You know, backstage you had so much free time, so just let me be.
Eiji: He's good, isn't he? Just give me a break. Always together, as a group of three.
Sakazaki: ...Well, that was fun, wasn't it? But how was it, doing this with five people?
Keita: It was fun.
Sakazaki: Was it your first time doing so on a stage?
Ryo and Keita: This is the first time we've done it on stage.
Keita: Well before, from behind backstage, we'd just hum along.
Eiji: Right.
Keita: We're happy to have-
Sakazaki: And what about for your fans? What do you think?

Sakazaki: Are you okay? You sing high [notes].
Keita: Are you talking about the key?
Sakazaki: Yeah.
Keita: It's actually relatively low for me.
Sakazaki: It isn't low at all! You're really getting [your voice] out there!
Keita: For example, the voice I use to talk with, and the voice I used when we debuted as w-inds. are relatively high. And so I control it just like that.
Sakazaki: Doing your best, huh.

[REQUEST] Deny lyrics translation

This was done at request, using J-Lyric for the kana. I do not own this song or its original lyrics.

It was a serious love ... It was my first of that kind,
so I couldn't understand "goodbye"
An eternity happened in the blink of an eye
I  thought that fate was an accident
We met like it was love, but no matter how many times we crossed each other's paths
I always compared her to you.
...OH, BABE. Until I see you again. AND NOW I...

TONIGHT... I WISH THAT YOU WERE HERE
TONIGHT... I NEED TO HAVE YOU NEAR
COME WASH AWAY MY TEARS
AND NOW I JUST WANNA DENY [when I said,]
"I won't fall in love again"
I'll break that vow now.
I can only see you.

[NOTE] Regarding Requests

Hey, everyone! Thank you so much for all your support and patience. I really appreciate your readership and look forward to reading your comments, taking your advice, and processing your requests. In particular, what really shapes this site is your requests. I have enjoyed translating lyrics and videos I hadn't even considered working on, creating a learning experience for us all. And as the school seasons are approaching, I am coming to terms with the fact that I will be unable to complete your requests as quickly as I have done before. Nevertheless, I will try my best and hope to prove that statement wrong. Thank you once again, for everything. 

[REQUEST] Will Be There ~ Koigokoro lyrics translation

This was done as a request, using J-Lyrics for the kana. I do not own the song or its original lyrics.

Just as usual, we pass time that doesn't change us, and I've realized something:
Even when we're apart, it feels as if you're here.
It's not just some apparent thought, it's not something so simple
And throughout that, I can't properly say the words that are overflowing.

The chest pains that are out of reach
Looking for a reason is the road no one's taken yet.

In this world, there's only one special heart in love for you
even if we get caught, we'll seem to be lost
growing up is difficult, but
i won't forget the feelings i have now, because you're my everything
in hopes the two of us can definitely go back to
the moment that i called out for you with love

[REQUEST] Some More lyrics translation

This was done by request using J-Lyric. I don't own the song or its original lyrics.

SEE IT IN YOUR EYES Who are you looking for?

LOOKIN' FOR A LIE What are you hiding?

you're just waiting for his email...

and you keep drumming your fingernails against the table

GIMME GIMME GIMME SOME MORE

i'm not your friend

GIMME GIMME GIMME SOME MORE

you're not regretting this, are you?

give me your overflowing love

GIMME GIMME GIMME SOME MORE ... SOME MORE

[REQUEST] Chillin' in the Daydream lyrics translation

IN MY ROOM the FANTASY i've created
HONESTLY, there aren't any boring things
BELIEVE! If the dream that's come true
is just an illusion, beyond reality

HOW DOES IT FEEL?
Taking our time watching the sky, we CHILL [out]
DAYDREAM! of a pointless journey
With our footprints, we advance forward

Cos of You lyrics translation

I do not own these lyrics or the song from which it was borrowed. I used J-Lyric.Net for the kana. 
This song can be found on w-inds.' 2010 album, Another World. 
Also, I changed the translated phrase from "cos of you" to "'cause of you," which is slightly more grammatically correct and therefore easier to read.

that obvious lie, pretending to be deceived
taking note of the time, it's DEEP MIDNIGHT
the awkward air, as if you'd cheat on me
with that brunette's finger, trying to search out his signals

why did we pass by each other like this?
comforting each other
our memories are now somewhere far,
and yet we can't be separated

'CAUSE OF YOU
that's the only REASON WHY
'CAUSE OF YOU
engraved in me like an instinct
'CAUSE OF YOU
It's not just a theory; i can never go against
these feelings. OH
your lies, your excuses, and everything
are the like lost decorations
'CAUSE OF YOU
[I've broken into] these essential PIECES, just to keep you satisfied
All of this is BECAUSE OF YOU

From the morning. by Keita

We went into the onsen and it was really relaxing.
Coffee milk is just too good.
I lost 3kg in body mass, and it was pretty depressing.
This is Gari Gari-kun.
I'll work hard today so we can do another good live event.

Yesterday. by Keita

Did you see CDTV?
It was a medium-tempo ballad song, something we hadn't done in a while
We were recording the song,
and I didn't even break into a sweat. hah
The dance, the song, whatever the track is
I want to be able to tell people about the world [that we live in].
Oh, and before [we recorded for CDTV] yesterday, I watched One Pieces and cried a heck of a lot. haha
The pizza I was eating tasted salty. haha
Today my muscles are gonna have fun at our Fukouka live event.

w-inds. Quizzes

As of yesterday, w-inds. to words is officially on Quizilla. It took a bit of time to get used to the site and we had a bit of troubleshooting to look after, but the tests might be working properly now.

So far, the quizzes that I can offer you are The Essential w-inds. Test and are you obsessed with w-inds.?. If you like them, I'll definitely continue with this side project. They aren't translations and therefore don't technically qualify for w-inds. to words, but sometimes I find there is a lack of w-inds. quizzes available.

Here we are, in the midst of our tour.
Today is an off-day in Okayama.
I'm out for a walk by myself.
This is a nice place.
Tomorrow, it seems that the agency's cute Fairies are having their debut event in Gunma Prefecture at Aeon Mall Ota.
They're probably nervous, but as an older brother I want them to do their best!

w-inds. BEST LIVE TOUR 2011 by Keita

It started the other day!
We succeeded in safely doing two days of concerts in Nagoya.
With our set list summing up our ten years and our performances, I'm sure everyone will have fun.
This time we have music from our stage set, videos, lighting, and the performance.
More parts than usual, and we used some of my own ideas
So without a doubt, please look forward to it!
We've stuck with a bunch of different aspects.
Creating a great show with all the staff, the dancers, the band, and then everyone else
is what we call a live event.
everyone, let's make this an awesome summer.

The venue was pretty hot, but the audience heatedly supported us!
We were all sweaty, but everyone really raised the roof!*
In particular, it was Let's Get it On where we saw everyone rocking out, with which we raised the height of tension on the stage.
Today, we really didn't lose out.

The whole raising-the-roof in Ishikawa was done completely successfully!*

Ishikawa was hot, but the weather and the good scenery were pretty.
Personally, the sea urchin and roe egg over rice was so good I toppled over (lol)
And by the water I got rather tanned, so thank you[, Sun!]

Talking about work is a bit of an irrelevant topic, but yesterday we had a day off n Osaka, so we right after practices we went out for a night out at the restaurant.
And so here's a picture of our members. (Myself, Yu-ki, Yosshi of Mortal Combat, Tissue)
Yosshi lives in Osaka and we don't seen him often, so this was a long-awaited reunion!
It was fun making all sorts of conversation.
So without further ado, I will do my best tomorrow at the Osaka live event!

W. F. F. [w-inds. family fansub]

I've recently had the honour of communicating with members of the WFF group, and have been requested to widen their audience. Considering that I owe something to them, I will oblige here.

After I first saw w-inds. on TV, I searched them up on YouTube and relied on WFF's amazing subs. They put so much work into being visually appealing and easy to read. They find English words and phrases to equal that of the Japanese language, and not simply translate word-for-word. Occasionally there is the slightest grammatical slip, but they are not heavily common and no not impede the meaning of the text. And we can't be harsh on them, seeing as they translate in English and in Vietnamese.

Provided at the bottom of this post is a link to their respective site. Please know that in doing this I do not endorse the downloading of w-inds. works. With all due respect, although I understand the difficulty of personal finances, I cannot support illegal downloading. I apologize if I have offended anyone. The WFF subtitled projects I viewed were strictly on YouTube.

You can view their latest subtitled video, You & I, on YouTube; however, I am unaware if the user has been granted access to do so. In any event, the embedding option has been disabled, so I will provide the link here.

[REQUEST] Graduation lyrics translation

This was done as a request using J-Lyric for the kana. I do not own the song or its original lyrics. I'm not sure how this translation will compare to other's, but hopefully this will make some sense. 

Soon spring will visit us, and the colouring petals will float [in the air]
i'm sorting our countless memories
[As we] head towards all sorts of partings due to journeys and conflicts,
i wonder what colour the world we've waited for will be?
Overcoming limitless unexpected opportunities, even meeting you by chance
Earlier, with countless interruptions, our beginning will keep repeating

so today, the day we've arrived at,
the future that is being born
is in everyone's own hands
if that moment we can't go back is always attached by brightness,
the tomorrow that we've envisioned is coming closer

[REQUET] Ageha Lyrics Translation + Title Analysis

This was done as a request, by using JPopAsia for romaji and Super-Lover for the kana. I do not own the original lyrics or the song. And if any of you would like to know what a swallowtail butterfly looks like as well as its symbolism in Japanese culture, please click Read More >>  and scroll to the bottom of the page. 

The loneliness you threw towards me solidify in the snow
The flowers still bloom awkwardly, and you leave
I'm sorry I [ignored?] your dreams that day
It seems as if I'm the only one left behind

Like how on that summer day, when we chased after swallowtail butterflies,
we can once again capture our dreams.
That's right, as long as there's you, my best friend.
