Babylon no Kiseki  (romaji lyrics)
(Babylon miracle)
by: LISA
Translated by: Julie

My soul is in an emergency situation
No matter where I run to there’s no help
I can’t bare myself
The truth is my situation is uncertain

Even when I wander aimlessly in the dark, I face forward
Living your life by someone’s manual, that’s so boring

Even if there comes a morning when you give up, keep looking for answers
Even if love breaks your heart, take the next step
Forgive everything
You’ll hear a miracle phrase

The thing we love and believe in
Is just love, it will selfishly disappear
We’re seduced by the chaos and get caught in our own trap
In a cycle that repeats more than time

Every time we repeat it we see it, every time we fail we get stronger
If our lives were perfect there wouldn’t be any more dramas

Even if the night is too long, the sun won’t betray you
The journey you’ve set out on is dangerously beautiful
Nothing is random
If you look you’ll see history opening up

People are carried along
Shaken about as they’re carried along
We’re powerless, aren’t we, to do anything 
Except live seriously 
Through the realities we’ve been given?
When we see Babylon we pretend we haven’t
We have to walk past without stopping
That’s the stage we’re at now

The angels’ prayers continue, along with the voice that cries out ceaselessly
Wrapped in a veil of sadness, Babylon cannot sleep
You’re what the universe expects
The phrase rings out miraculously
You’re…a miracle…

Crying  (romaji lyrics)
by: Hinouchi Emi
Translated by: Julie

I haven’t seen you at all since that day
But how do I know I’ll be all right?

Even when I missed you, I thought I should have already forgotten you
But a part of my heart was denying the crushing pain
Caring more about other people than myself like this
Means that even if I notice now that I’ve been lying to myself, it’s too late

Now it’s painful just remembering the days
When we laughed at even the silliest of things

I know in theory that time will heal everything
But I can’t change my feelings that easily
Just when I think I’ve escaped, I build another trap for myself
But I think it won’t be long until I no longer cry over you

I haven’t seen you at all since that day
But how do I know I’ll be all right?
Now it’s painful just remembering the days
When we laughed at even the silliest of things

Please don’t call me baby, don’t call me anymore
Please don’t worry about me, I’m fine on my own
Please leave me alone, all I want to do now is sleep in peace
Please don’t love me baby, because from tomorrow I’m on my own

I haven’t seen you at all since that day
But how do I know I’ll be all right?
Now it’s painful just remembering the days
When we laughed at even the silliest of things

I haven’t seen you at all since that day
But how do I know I’ll be all right?

Dopamine  (romaji lyrics)
by: m-flo loves EMYLI & Diggy Mo'
Translated by: Julie

Can you feel my body la-la-la-la
You & I (Do-Do-Do-Dopamine!) no matter how far
Can’t control it
Soon we’ll become one and fly away

Yes! I’m one of the best yet!
You’re stupid if you don’t know that, I’mma crash the set...YUP!
I always have to have a fresh bapesta on the stage with me
Or I can’t start – there’s no imagination otherwise
The boom! Of the rhythm wears me out, hey check it out!
“Vacuum! Vacuum!” It goes with “The Boom”!
That distant tune is per-per-perfect!
Aha! At your own risk if you wanna enter!

I want a kiss that makes me melt, right about this time today
But no boys have come bursting out
Normally I laugh and hide it
But I can’t deny this feeling

Someone come get me right now
Take me right away right now (OK)  even if you are passive (Huh?)
She’s only sixteen
My alarm is ringing
Got no time, got no time till you get!
Maybe I’m a bit crazy

*Can you feel my body la-la-la-lay
You & I (Do-Do-Do-Dopamine!) Where are you?
Come and find me wherever you are
And then we’ll fly away (ah alalalaa ah ahh yeah!)
Into outer space

It’s Monday, why can’t I settle down?
My funday atill it’s just begun okaay escalate
See, I don’t wanna be amazed at everything
I don’t wanna need a change
But still, don’t stay tha same
Yo baby just find a phrase that suits you
His attacking punch hit the target like a car chase
Magenta caf – classy, lay back
I’ll heal your heart or whatever right away, c’mon!
Hey! I’ll call you up, come over, no manual
If it’s for pay then the fee afterwards is chocolate (wa!)
Mannequins, replicants, pimps, psychos
Terrible animals, OK the fight’s been taken outside
You’re smiling a bit more than necessary, mate
If we have a bit of sympathy for each other, yeah, it’s gonna be OK
Kids&heads come together, dot to tha dot
‘Cuz everybody happy nowadays

** Can you feel my body la-la-la-lay
You & I (Do-Do-Do-Dopamine!) no matter how far
Can’t control it
Soon we’ll become one and fly away (ah alalalaa ah ahh yeah!)
Into outer space

When I hear that sweet voice calling me
Saying “Baby come over”, I can’t say no
I want you to grasp my hands and hold me
But tell me, are you that somebody?

Let me take you on a ride, this is a screaming machine
And release “Do-Do-Do-Dopamine!”
You nahmsayin’? You know what I’m saying?
Linguini pasta?
Floating in midair at JAXA, zero gravity, extreme!
Floating in the air with you, me, we SEXY!
Yup! This technology’s domestic
Take your seat, take off! Get close!
When I step, you see my crown ring
It’s surprisingly big, the oxygen’s getting thin now (*gasp*)
That girl’s left this world, I wannabe with her
Together, Mama Mia! She’s provocative, UH!
V-E-R-Bizzle-A-Lizzle
Collect duse like Ginjiro Manda
For real-o, look, one look is worth 100 words
Next time you see me, holla like you know me!

Are you there? If you can hear me
Yup! I’m on the other line, I’ve run up a huge phone bill just on you
But I got all of this and more just to shock your mind
If you take one look
I’m tha one you’ve never seen before
An imaginary boy is pointless…

Repeat *

Da-na-na-na…Da-na-na-na…
So I told you, you’re selfish
Da-na-na-na… Da-na-na-na…the beginning of you & I is starting now

Repeat **
Repeat *

Eternity
by: SPEED
Translated by: Julie
[cori's note: This song was translated for Annie & her husband Ed, who met through
Napster while trading this song and "Two of Us." The 5th year anniversary of their
first meeting was on June 6th.  Congratulations to the both of them! ^^]

It’s our ritual to say goodnight by email every night before we go to sleep  
You started as one of my friends 
And before I knew it I became linked to you only 
I wait as I paint my nails 
Waiting anxiously in this night I can’t keep a grip on... 

Even though I’m so happy 
It’s not true that all people part someday, is it? 
I choose what colour lipstick to wear, leaving my dresses scattered around 
Tomorrow is our first date in a while 
I want to make up for the fight we had yesterday 

I want to understand you 
Even when you’re tired 
I want to be able to gently envelop you 

There’s only one of you in this whole world 
I want to keep playing this love melody that’s just been born 
I hope that we’re never part as the world passes by 
Let’s promise to meet here five years from now 

Will you call me back right away 
Even when your cellphone is off?
Catch my tears tonight 
I feel like I’m dying of loneliness 
That irritating smell has gone 
We’ll make it last forever 
I need to hold you tight 

Girls always want to say “I love you” in words
To prove their love  
Don’t think I understand
Just the two of us in this changing world 
I’ll love you even more
So that we don’t change, eternity 

There’s only one of you in this whole world 
I want to keep playing this love melody that’s just been born 
I hope that we’re never part as the world passes by 
Let’s promise to meet here five years from now 
Eternity

Hadaka ~nude~  (romaji lyrics)
by: Vo Vo Tau
Translated by: Julie

On a morning when there’s no limit to the height of the blue sky
I pray for a way out of the realities looping around me
I don’t think I view society in a slanted way at all
I get a lot of strength from a dream
I feel uneasy about the words that have suddenly come out 
And hide among these people who give mean-spirited love
I want to find myself through this song
So that I can shine a light through the crowd
Strong enough to put them to sleep

At night I wander through the condemnation in my soul
With a face that says there’s no tomorrow
I sing my applause for the fighters 
Who never lose sight of what they want
I’m so impressed that I can believe in myself now
With a face that looks towards tomorrow
I pray for success for the people who feel the same

I discover the merits of living only for status
They come and go throughout these pampered times and generations
But imprinted in me is the will to move forward
Inspired by those people who raise their fists
This new bond that tomorrow brings
Won’t change the light that shines on the mirror I‘ve always flirted with
The tenacity in my nature comes purely from the scantness of my individuaity
I’m going to strip off the tiny bit of pride I have and throw it away

At night I wander through the condemnation in my soul
With a face that says there’s no tomorrow
I sing my applause for the fighters 
Who never lose sight of what they want
I’m so impressed that I can believe in myself now
With a face that looks towards tomorrow
I pray for success for the people who feel the same

Lalala...with a face that says there’s no tomorrow
Lalala...with a face that looks towards tomorrow

Happy SUmmer Wedding (romaji lyrics)
by: Morning Musume
Translated by: Julie

Congratulations! 
(Hi!) 

Pala pala... 
Thank you, Mum & Dad 
I’ve met someone special 
Yay! 
Pala pala... 
Because I was born 
I was able to meet him, my soul mate 

So many days I wanted to just give up 
And times when I’d lost sight of my dreams 
I gave you nothing but trouble
Acting like a spoilt brat, saying you didn’t love me enough 
Achaa 
Wao! 

Chorus 1
Ah, Mum and Dad (yai yai yaa) 
Ah, I’m so grateful (hai! hai!) 
Ah, I’m sorry I made you (yai yai yaa) 
Ah, worry so much (hai! hai!) 

I fell deeply in love (fuwa fuwa fu!) 
Thank you 

(Hi!) 
Pala pala... 
Thank you, Mum & Dad 
I’m embarrassed to say it again 
But thank you! 
Pala pala... 
Calling or emailing is just so impersonal 
I want to say it straight to your face 

When I was a teenager
I went through just a little rebellious phase 
Dad used to yell at
All the guys I went out with when I was at school
“Who do you think you are?!” 
Wao! 

Chorus 2
Ah, Mum and Dad (yai yai yaa) 
Ah, I respect you so much (hai! hai!) 
Ah, I’m such a selfish daughter (yai yai yaa) 
Ah, but I’m still your daughter (hai! hai!) 

I want to treat you with as much respect (fuwa fuwa fu!) 
As I can
 

Pao pao... 
I’d like to introduce Mr Sugimoto, he works at a security company 
He’s a bit on the short side, but he’s a nice guy 
He likes fishing, just like you, Dad 
Didn’t you always say 
That anyone who likes fishing can’t be bad? 
Right, Dad? 

Repeat Chorus 1

I fell deeply in love (fuwa fuwa...hai!) 
 
Repeat Chorus 2
 
I swear with all my heart (fuwa fuwa...fu!) 
Happy

I Wish  (romaji lyrics)
by: Morning Musume
Translated by: Julie

Am I the only one who's lonely 
On this lonely, kind of boring night? 

I got your silly email, it made me laugh 
For some reason I can't stop my tears 
Ah, thank you 

Because I know myself better than anyone else 
I have to believe in myself more than anyone else 

Chorus 1
Life is wonderful 
Meeting someone and giving love a try 
Ah, it's wonderful, when you're crazy about someone 
And you can laugh and cry 

There are days when I'm scared to even talk to anyone 
But I get up the courage to talk about myself 

You can't have sunshine without rain 
You'll understand it all someday! 

Chorus 2
Life is wonderful 
You see it's always the same road, let's find another one! 
Ah, it's wonderful, let's make it a road 
That leads to each other 

You can't have sunshine without rain 
You'll understand it all someday! 

Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 2

But I want to treasure my smile 
For the person I love...

Lonely Girl  (romaji lyrics)
by: Kato Miliyah
Translated by: Julie

Maria, Mei, Ai, Kaori
Rina, Sachi, Nana, Risa, Emi, Ayumi
Reina, Ayu, Sara, Hitomi
Nami, Miki, Hiro, Miho, Tomo, Nozomi

Today, once again, I’m alone
Waiting, all alone, for you to come for me

Don’t treat me like a kid, a new, self-assured me is beginning, born from experience
Don’t analyse it so easily, don’t look at me like you get it
I really can’t put down my email cellphone, I don’t want to go to school, I don’t want to stay home
I don’t want the old thoughts to get in the way, this is a new era

No matter how much I dress up, even this much
Everyday everytime　we see each other
No matter how much you talk to me
I’m not satisfied, lonely girl

*
Lonely girl, it’s not that I’m lonely
Lonely girl, I just like being by myself
Lonely girl, I’m not crying
Lonely girl, it’s just the wind stinging me

I’m having fun now, in the streets of Shibuya Central, but I don’t know how long it’ll last
I’d like to clear the way for a new era if I can, I want to believe for sure that I can do it
I want to get out of this maze I’m so caught in, and I want to go home right now
Lost as I am, I want to find the map that shows everything

No matter how much I love you, even this much
Even though I think of you everyday, everynight
No matter how many tears I cry
I can’t get out, lonely girl

Repeat*

Well, should I go now?
Throwing away the baggage I don’t need?
Lonely girl, I’ll be OK
So help me get to that now-unfamiliar road…

Repeat*

Masako, Yuka, Rui, Satomi
Mai, Aki, Sae, Yuki, Rie, Ayumi
Wakana, Rika, Yumi, Miyuki
Kana, Mika, Mayu, Miku, Ami, Hikari

Today, once again, I’m alone
Waiting, all alone, for you to come for me

Quantum Leap  (romaji lyrics)
by: m-flo
Translated by: Julie

Children of the revolution, do the Quantum Leap!

*
Get moving, raise your voice til the morning! (Huh!)
Get moving, raise your hands til the morning (Huh!) 　　　　　
Get moving, raise your voice til the morning! (Huh!)
Sorry to keep you waiting, in this place we turn it out!

Been watching this MC for 10 years, like Panama Jones
Heaven and earth is shaking, verbal telepathy
The curriculum? Interactive dropping out
Split in half by the lightning, that song over there
Chatting, play-hating, wimpy boy*
No need to be alone now, like a homeless kid
Yo, I'm acting all bobo like Sakata
Turn the mike level right up
The guests have trouble breathing for a long time
Until they finally raise their voices all the way
Never yawn, this is the real test now
Wait for 3000 years, 1000 left to go, it’s the countdown
Ensemble, mind’s humble, rhymes shoot the security guard
Whoooo! (shot the sheriff)
It’s survival of the fittest in this society, people checking out your history
checkin' 1, 2, satellite Sputnik hesitantly circling the earth
Here’s Debias Yamaoka, he’s with it
Sweat takes my hand, shooting stars flow
Fasten your seatbelt, put on your protective vest
Plato and Aristotle
can't figure this rhyming labyrinth
Everybody jump jump like a vaulting horse
Yell out paramedical, it’s a precious casket

Repeat *

I say goodness gracious my soul has a shining status
I live my life in the spotlight, plans are a pain
I see the music industry, it’s lacking the necessary groundwork
He spoils it, all he thinks about is business, gets struck by the Mediarite
3-dimensional pectoral space, feels like my lenses are straining
Not very perceptive, this group’s all gotten the wrong impression
Aim and fire, everyone else is already emotionally radioactive
Smitherines, can't be scared of heights when you rising
Improve your situation, like the society pages, make you clap to do this
7 aerial turns, put on your protective vest
I mean, bubbles in the water, passin’ you by like Haikara
In the blink of an eye I be switchin' styles like Takaratsuka

Repeat*

A-B-C m-flo run the show like Abe Geechie, Y'all saw what?
correct and proper,　we're coming through
D-E-F-G, we’re foundin’ these rhyme styles, worry-free
Don’t look to your right, overwhelming rappers, I be the ironman
28 H-I outreach the media life, it's J-K
L-M-N-O, yeah all lyrics are my specialty
When I'm developin' MC's be mimickin'
Hiphop phenomenon
P-Q-R-S-T　listen to me, don’t compare me to anyone else
The one and only, three-in-one meteoric recipe
Genesis, the scenery of the earth, have you come alive?
The wrong street, a wrong turning to the right
A fantasy like I Paxa, wassup!
Daimon says wack MC's gets no love
Whack the chandelier hard,　it’ll definitely snow today
That's word to U-V-W-X-Y-Z

Repeat*

Say Yeah Motto Miracle Night (romaji lyrics)
Say Yeah Miracle Night
by: Morning Musume
Translated by: Julie

I get on the scales – it looks as if, it looks as if
It’s diet time tonight 
Love is a miracle, a miracle 
For some reason, we’re happy together tonight 
Computers have come a long way
But even they
Can’t calculate
The nuances of girls 

Chorus 1
Say yeah! (Yeah!) 
You’ve got to open the door to our dreams 
Baby! (Baby!) 
All by yourself! It’s a miracle! 
Say yeah! (Yeah!) 
If you believe in your dreams you can move forward! 
Fire! (Fire!) 
And get closer to achieving them! 

I’ll give the latest “in” thing a miss 
What I go with tonight kind of, kind of needs to appeal to me
It’s a sudden change, but it’s a miracle, a miracle 
The determination of all of us together 
Even all those meteorologists 
Who get the weather forecasts right everytime
Can’t predict 
The whims of girls! 

Chorus 2
Say yeah! (Yeah!) 
Don’t just dream your dreams! 
Baby! (Baby!) 
Unlock them yourself! It’s a miracle! 
Say yeah! (Yeah!) 
Let’s dream big! 
Fire! (Fire!) 
A more miraculous night! 

All together – It’s a miracle, it’s a miracle x8
 Come on a baby! 
Come on a fire! 

Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 2
Repeat Chorus 1
Repeat Chorus 2

Starstruck ~"The Return Of The LuvBytes"~  (romaji lyrics)
by: m-flo loves AI, Hinouchi Emi, Rum (of Heartsdales)
Translated by: Julie
Edited by: cori

With an astromantically blinding flash from the victim cameras
Whenever I nail my performance I get a fresh feeling in my throat
A bubbly, bright, luzurious spin
Your influence is seriously good, hug me (prrring!)
Great like Onitsuka, it’s the creckdown
Stomp your feet! Clap ya hands, guests!
If ya wanna get down but don’t know how
Open your ears and listen to this, it’s world-renowned
Are you ready for this? Where my ladies at?
Are you ready for this? Heartsdales back again!
Are you ready for this? GANSO A.I.!!!
Heeeere we go!

OH! NO! Party goin’ on, party goin’ on!
It’s started well. Suddenly, what the?
There’s a line outside the club (Hell no!)
Sorry you had to queue (Let’s go!)
I’m ready 2 have some fun!!
I got a guestlist for everyone!!
But once you’re in, we won’t send you home
A.I.’s party has no end!

There’s only one thing 
That matters in my life: Dramatiques
Here’s an exciting person, just 21 but I can’t just leave him
Look for the Love Master now
I devote myself to it every day, I’m always at full power
Wear yourself out, use yourself up, come on yo!!

* Starstruck...let’s go!
Until the morning
Starstruck...let’s go!
PARTY! To the breaka-breaka-down
Starstruck...let’s go!
Can’t stop...once you move
Don’t stop (don’t stop) don’t stop (don’t stop)
Don’t hesitate to rock with me all night long

3...2...1! Sparkling Rum...the colour’s too dark, got’s to be
Electric, like a flowing light (this the way we flow)
Great centrefold, next to Johnny Depp
(Vrooom!) What you expect?
(Diamonds be fallin’) fallin’ (fallin’)
Feeling like that til (til) the morning, the day-day-day
Ya Wanna rock with the vogue lady?
So (Yeah) Bring it on! (Yeah) Come on!

Finally found a good lady
Are you my type, baby?!
Are you cool or are you sweet?
I’ve decided I like both!

Repeat *

Holy! A second’s cut from the “Kill Bill” City
Geographically far east of the...
Equator, around the globe
Breathless, like being in space where there’s no air
You’re my object of desire, fire!
“Hehe! Android...bewitch me!”
Polypedal at full throttle, swan on the lake
Bass boomin’ (Go!) Beef tail soup
Candlelight dinner for everybody
Takaki, boost the amp to the max
In just a short time, baby, we’ll have the greatest ride
You’ve gotten so ill you need a barf bag
Televised by the paparazzi, it’s not a performance
We live and direct, switch to analog
Your blinding beauty is poison! Bell Biv Devoe
Cause we all know how the story goes!

** Gotta lotta plasma TV’s and you wanna be me
The 89th key Queen Bee

Repeat ** x4

Champagne in your hand and just pop the top!
It’s Hearts-da-l-e-s baby
With ORIGINAL A.I., Emi Hinouchi
Smooth talker, very very positive thinker
I know, I’m always your obession
Bezzle tyre, glittering killah!
A knife from your lips, a furious speed
Take the Bond girls by surprise when I hit the scene

If you don’t wanna go, I won’t make you
But I won’t go anymore tonight, there’s no more time
So wanna fool around today?
Hey, it’s alright
Even if it’s just a short time, just spend the night...tonight!!!

Repeat * x2

Two Of Us

Translated by: Julie
[cori's note: This song was translated for Annie & her husband Ed, who met through
Napster while trading this song and "Eternity." The 5th year anniversary of their 
first meeting was on June 6th.  Congratulations to the both of them! ^^] 

Just the 2 of us wrapped in the starry sky 
The night quietly passes, sweetest night 
Before I notice, you doze off 
And I quietly kiss the side of your face 

We met by fate
At ten million-to-one odds
The stars twinkle as if to celebrate
Did they know all about it? 
Present for you, even if this illumination fades 
Remember this day 

The snowflakes pile up in the white sky and melt into one 
Embrace this deep and endless love 
I’d been searching for it all my life, even getting hurt 
Until I met you 
Engrave time
So that the two of us can stay together like this

When the carnival is over
The moon will envelop us, taking the night with it 
Before long, the stars will connect
Become a constellation and keep shining 
I want to believe in that myth 
We’ll surely be all right as long as we’re together 
Kiss me, trust me, our love is so deep
That it can surpass even hardship and tears 

Hold me, whisper to me forever, even in my dreams 
Don’t go away, I beg you 
Before long, the fastest night in this world will be over 
I pray that the two of us
Will be happy for all of tomorrow too

The snowflakes pile up in the white sky and melt into one 
Embrace this deep and endless love 
I’d been searching for it all my life, even getting hurt 
Until I met you 
Engrave time
So that the two of us can stay together like this
