Keita and Ryuichi's Impromptu Song Translation (LT 2009)

Thank you to windspuim for sharing with us this entertaining video, and for providing the subtitles that I used to translate. This video was from their Sweet Fantasy 2009 tour.



I'm still playing my guitar
without ever paying attention
I'm playing my guitar
Even though they want me to change clothes
But I still have time to catch the last bus
and I know I can't ride the train until I change my clothes
They're making me change now
Let me stay like this until I get hungry
I'm hungry
LIke this
It's just you we're waiting for
[Huh?]
Hurry up. Hurry up. Hurry up.

Ryuichi strums his guitar faster
Keita: I wasn't talking about that -- not the tempo!

Hyper Ryuichi (18) Video Translation

This was from the Prime of Life tour. I do not own this video. Thank you to lamkie5984 for sharing this clip.


  Ryuichi: Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee da dokorodon.

Keita: Hey, calm down for a second.

Ryuichi: da dee dee. dee dee.

Keita: Hold it. Hold it!

Ryuichi: Dee dee dee dee dee dee dee da dokorokon da dee dee...

Keita: Aaah. Well, there you have it.

In light of recent events, maybe this will cheer your day. I offer my sincere condolences and don't mean to offend anyone by making light of a serious disaster. 

Move Like This Tour: Hong Kong MC translation

[Notes:]
The italic words were originally spoken in Chinese, translated from the provided Japanese subtitles.

Ryohei: How's everyone doing? Hi, I'm Ryohei. Hey, I'm Ryohei. It's been a while, you know, but I'm really happy to be able to see you all again. Let's have a blast til the very end.

Keita: What's up? Hi, I'm Keita. haha. Hey, everyone. Good evening! Oh? Do I get the feeling that you guys understand Japanese? We get to see you once a year. You guys doing well today? That's great. Today, let's all sing and dance together and have a great time. I'm Keita of winds.!

Ryuichi Solo: Fade Away Lyrics Translation

Ryuichi: That was great. Are you having fun, everyone? As for our tenth anniversary -- well, that was as of March 14th -- we really got a lot of congratulations. Saying that it's been ten years is kind of scary for us. But we got a lot of congratulatory messages from our fans, who wanted to share their feelings with us. Thank you for that. When we started w-inds., I began to learn to play the guitar. It's been ten years since then. Will you listen to me play? Um, this is by Radio Foundation. They've been around for around three years. The person who sings the lead vocals writes the songs himself. Please listen to this: Fade Away.



Some day
in the morning
I'll go back
somewhere, they're putting it into magazines
i'm walking onwards
to the blue dawn in front of my eyes
there's no more love to be gained.

there's nothing now.
everything's coming forth as a memory
and just like that, even the world is erased

I do not own the clip, nor do I own these original lyrics. I used J-Lyrics for the Japanese kana.

 
Keita: "This will be the final song for tonight. It's basically a message that I want to express. I've been thinking about these ideas inside my head, and at one point I just thought, 'If I don't sing about it, it'll be a waste.' And so I wrote it while I was making my album. Please listen to this."

Somewhere, today
someone is crying out, demanding to be loved.

Keita Interview (2010): Childhood and Fashion

This is for 18 Days to Michishirube.  I do not own this video, but thank you to antenacafe for uploading it!

I: Did you also take part in fashion shows [as a child]?
K: Yes.
I: And so here...
K: I'm right here.
I: on the right. And you're wearing sunglasses! You look very cool. _____ these children's clothing.
K: Yes. I was in this model club from when i was... five years old. And I'd do these fashion shows.
I: So then you'd see your mother's photos-
K: Yeah
I: and then do you remember what you felt?
K: I don't, actually. At this time I was in elementary school, and this kind of look was normal.
I: Really? The sunglasses, too?
K:_______. But you know, my brother was in the modeling club, and there were so many fashionable people. But when I went to school, people had different values. That was my sense.
I: At home you all were wearing this kind of fashionable clothing, so you were accustomed to that being 'normal.'
K: Yeah. I always thought my clothes were normal, but in grade six I realized I was wrong. Upon first seeing me, people would look at me strangely. In the first year of middle school, I bought my own clothes.
I: Oh. And all that time, in elementary and middle school, did you think you wanted to sing?
K: Yes. I was always listening to music and singing.
I: And when did you start practicing?

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.
