緑閃光 by KK~Transaltion


Not long to go until the release of Tide *clap clap*. But I'll have to wait quite a bit for my copies to arrive. I decided to grab both the cd (w/ bonus disc from Tower records) and the concept book so double the excitment! Well, in the meantime, there are heap of stuffs need to be done, for example, tranlsating songs from Scoop~ 
Ryokusenkou wasn't my favorite when I first listened to the album. But the moment I was able to hear the 5th part of this song (and the 8th), ryokusenkou jumped all the way to the top of my playlist! 

Ryokusenkou

(Green flash) 


Written and composed by Kamikita Ken (KK)
English translation by Makoto (with BIG help from jisho ^^)

‘If it’s too painful, stop these fingers’
There was a voice whispering that, in the classroom at the end of the day.
As if wanting to invite people with its light, the sun poured down incessantly.
In that very moment, I realized I’d be the only one left behind.
A new day began.

There is no limit to the problem that one faces in life.
Day by day, those problems just keep on increasing.
Despite how much people suffer every day, this town still looks the same.

There must be a lot more things that I could do.
And it feels like this world would become a much more beautiful place, when I’m able to change.
You know, even someone like me have tried to become a better person.

I wonder if you’d smile, seeing the way things are now.

If you have wounds that could never be healed
Never think of the scars left behind as something ugly or shameful.
The scars, which remain forever in your heart 
Are the proof that you’ve been fighting until today
And one day, they may become the reason for your existence.

Time moves in an endless circle by its momentum.
The only thing that changes from yesterday is how the sky looks today.
Though the wind is strong, doesn’t look like it’s gonna rain.

If all you do is taking one step forward, then back
You’ll just go through the same-old everyday
Without achieving anything
And end up thinking that every moment goes by is meaningless.

How are our values and believes shaped? 
Based on appearances, impressions; or how good we are at hiding ugly parts of ourselves? 
However, I could never be able to say these things out-loud 
Instead, I'm here, just waiting for the day to finish.

The reason we feel regret about those days we could no longer return to,
Is because we still carry the passions we used to have with us.
Please don't leave behind the pains, grieves, and all that you have been through,
I hope one day, these emotions would reach your heart. 

When the sky turns into a deep blue colour,
A flock of birds flies towards the west.
You guys can go wherever you want to 
Because I'm sure one day, I'll reach your place.

To be able to see the scenery you wish for,
You must accept and cherish your past 
No matter how much you want to hide it.
Things that remain in you heart
The proofs that you've been fighting
I hope one day, they could become the reason for your existence.

And one day, turn into the direction to your tomorrow.
