東京の空には星がないんだってね
There's no star in the sky in Tokyo

君からの手紙にはそう書いてあったけど
Your letter told me that but

こっちはあいからわずさ　何も変わりない
Here everything is the same Nothing changes

この時期になると祭りの準備さ
In this season we're preparing for the festival

駅前の商店街の笹飾り
Bamboo grass decorations at the shopping street in front of the station

君も知ってる景色さ
It's the view you know too

こどもたちははしゃいで走り回る
Kids are merrily running around

あの頃と変わらないよ
Nothing changes since then


七夕祭りが近づく夜は
At night when Tanabata Matsuri is drawing on

並んで歩いたこと思い出す
I remember we walked along together

覚えているかな　二人で眺めた満天の星空に会いにおいでよ
Do you remember? Come to see the sky full of stars what we saw together


かえるの鳴くわだちを歩いて
Walking along the track frogs were croaking

笹を取りに行ったね　覚えてる？
We went to pick the bamboo grasses Do you remember?

君はいつも青色の短冊選んだこと覚えてる
I remember every time you chose blue strip


七夕祭りが近づく夜は
At night when Tanabata Matsuri is drawing on

並んで歩いたこと思い出す
I remember we walked along together

覚えているかな　二人で眺めた満天の星空に会いにおいでよ
Do you remember? Come to see the sky full of stars what we saw together


頑張りすぎるのが君だけどさ
It's you who work too hard but

たまには立ち止まってみたら？
How about resting once in a while?


昔短冊に書いた願いを一緒に思い出そうよ
Let's remember your wish you wrote on the strip in past together


七夕祭りが近づく夜は
At night when Tanabata Matsuri is drawing on

並んで歩いたこと思い出す
I remember we walked along together

覚えているかな　二人で眺めた満天の星空に会いにおいでよ
Do you remember? Come to see the sky full of stars what we saw together


ラララ…
Lalala....


満天の星空に会いにおいでよ
Come to see the sky full of stars

満天の星空に会いにおいでよ
Come to see the sky full of stars

Thank you so much for this so that we can understand as we listen to the new songs! I love them ♥

[masuda-takahits.livejournal.com]

Is there Tanabata too?
I hear it's Chinese origin... :D

[hello-q.livejournal.com]

yeah.. it's from our legend..
i think wikipedia in english on "tanabata" explained it very well..

apparently, Tanabata for Japanese also carries another origin. It's blended. I mean, for the Chinese, Tanabata is pretty much strictly romance related. It's like the Chinese Valentine's Day. But for the Japanese, according what I read on wiki, it carries an additional meaning, so besides romance, you guys also wish for general well-being, a nice upcoming season/year, etc.

sounds right to you?

[masuda-takahits.livejournal.com]

Ah yes! Thank you♥
We know the romance of Hikoboshi-Massu and Orihime-Tegoshi dating once a year when it's sunny(Massu and Tegoshi are jokes), but aside from their romance, we simply wish and write down on the paper strip then hang on the bamboo grass as this song says. :D

[hello-q.livejournal.com]

lol.. I laughed when I see you go, "Hikoboshi-Massu and Orihime-Tegoshi dating once a year"

XD aren't they adorable ♥ (lol)

[chibi-hime.livejournal.com]

Awww what I sweet song. Tanabata is my favorite Japanese holiday. But I was told that there hasn't been a clear Tanabata night in Tokyo ever!

Last year is was rainy T-T

[masuda-takahits.livejournal.com]

Aww really! D:
So the Hikoboshi-Massu and Orihime-Tegoshi(eww) can't date!
It's sad that the official release date is the next day after tanabata.^^;
(Massu said in the Tanabata evening it would be available, haha)

[mad-kiel.livejournal.com]

i lol-ed at your "romance of Hikoboshi-Massu and Orihime-Tegoshi".

if it was rainy last year, thats the reason why aiaigasa was released right? =x

[chibi-hime.livejournal.com]

Ewwww.... Tegoshi-hime...

I usually buy my CDs the day before, so I guess it all works out.

So now apparently, Z-san wants some more friends. To me, it sounds so... sad.

[masuda-takahits.livejournal.com]

Ditto, definitely.
When I've read his newest entry, I half laughed as I won, and half got mad, as he's the man who has kicked my ass not to let me be closer to him. WTF.
Somehow I left there my comment pretending a total foreign anon working in Japan, I wonder wtf he's thinking.
(Seriously, I think he is just a lonely guy who never knows how to make true friends and girlfriend)

[chibi-hime.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, I will also leave a comment soon. I think the perfect revenge would be him finding out that the only reason these foreigners are interested in him is because of you. But that is your choice to make when to reveal that to him.

[masuda-takahits.livejournal.com]

YESSSSS!!!!
I'm happy to show our power to him, the other fans are happy to communicate with him, and he's also happy to see foreign fans around, no one get hurt, how sweet my revenge is! XD
I will try to make my plan organized, and if you have any idea let me know XDDD

[chibi-hime.livejournal.com]

I do have a pretty evil mind. I will let you know if I have any ideas ~_^

[kparadisek.livejournal.com]

May I translate and repost in Thai language??

And Thank you for sharing ^^

[masuda-takahits.livejournal.com]

Sorry for my late reply and sure, please♥

[alecsa-chan.livejournal.com]

Massu said, "I want to let Swedish people know about our culture".

When did he say that? During his r-show today? I might get a bit happier if yes. :3
Ty for the translation.
And yep it's very country-like.

[masuda-takahits.livejournal.com]

Yes♥
He must be sooooo regretting not going there I'm sure and he might be poking managers!!!
And it's the combination of Swedish music and Japanese lyrics!

[alecsa-chan.livejournal.com]

Really? Is this Swedish music? o.O
Gosh, they sure do not know how many European fans we are over here. T-T

[loveandcoffee.livejournal.com]

Ahhh!!! I'm so sorry! I didn't read the beginning of your post... I was looking at the lyrics first and then posting it... Please don't kill me!!!

I posted it in jpopasia and put the site link below. Sorry!!! Please don't kill me!!

[masuda-takahits.livejournal.com]

Awww sorry for my late and I never kill you!
I generally didn't mind any reposting with credit, but there were a few people who annoyed me by giving wrong credit or changing words, so now my present notification might look strict. ):

[ungalad.livejournal.com]

[keixoxo.livejournal.com]

[sa-lie.livejournal.com]

Thanks for your translation. it helps me to understand this song.
the meaning of a song is so cool and veryyy cute.

[orangeflush.livejournal.com]

You're right! it's cute & sweet! since massu mentioned that they will yukata on PV (correct me if i'm wrong), i imagine them walking to hanabata fest like a couple LOL..
