Awalnya band asal negeri sakura ini dibentuk oleh 5 orang personil dengan nama Aqua Times (“Aqua Timusu”). Futoshi pada vocal, Daisuke pada Gitar, Okada Tomohisa pada bass, Mayuko pada keyboard dan Tajima sebagai drummer.

Pada tahun 2005, dikarenakan banyak pihak yang salah menyebutkan nama band tersebut, Aqua Times yang dalam pengucapannya “aqua timusu” seringkali diucapkan sebagai “aqua timuzu” ( wew, dasar orang Jepang ^o^ ) , sehingga pada akhirnya nama Aqua Times diganti menjadi Aqua Timez.

Aqua Timez mencoba mengajak penikmat musik mereka untuk memahami filosofi kehidupan secara ringan dan menarik. Adapun lirik-lirik lagu mereka menawarkan suatu pandangan dari sudut pandang yang berbeda mengenai baik buruknya kehidupan yang kita jalani. Musiknya sendiri dikemas dalam nuansa khas musik rock, yang mampu membawa kita kepada suatu perasaan yang positif dan selalu optimis.

Untuk sementara ini gw lagi suka sama lagunya yang berjudul "sen no yoru o koete", musiknya asik bgt. Padahal ngga ngerti-ngerti amat sama artinya, tapi beneran enak banget di dengerin.

Nih, ada lyricnya yang udah di translate :

I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I’m scared, even if I’m hurt
I can say “I love you” to the person who I love

Do you love me? Or not love me?
As for things like that, it’s already fine either way
No matter how I wish
There are many unchangeable things in this world, right?
That’s right, and because only the fact of my loving you
Is the truth unchangeable by anyone

I want to overcome the thousands of nights and tell it to you
There’s something that I must tell you
I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I’m scared
Even if I’m hurt, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love
It’s scary to turn my feelings into words
But I can say “I love you” to the person who I love

In this broad world, I can’t express the joy of encountering you with words
So we smile, sing about the vividly passing autumn in do-re-mi
Turn our backs on winter, wait for the sunlight streaming through trees in spring
And become reborn anew, so that we can protect someone

On the path we came from and our destination, when we looked back, I’d always have timid eyes
I want to face you, but I can’t be honest
I, who repeated days of not being able to straightforwardly love my partner
And hated being alone on that day
Seemed to love people while unwounded

I’ll overcome the thousands of nights and go meet you now
There is something that I must tell you
I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I’m scared
Even if I’m hurt, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love
Even if those thoughts aren’t fulfilled, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love
It’s the most wonderful thing in this world

As we re-tie our shoes , the wind blows from behind
And on the other side of the light spilled by the sky , We paint the rest of our dream
Our heartbeat will quicken , and anxiety and anticipation will strike our pulses
Will you really be okay? Can you go through it all?

It's okay , you can look up now
It's okay , look at the bridge of seven colors
The tears you shed remain suspended in the sky
Now, can you see it? In the far-off distance
Just like you , I can see it too, our two skys
are now becoming one
We can finally laugh under the same sky

The sky which reflects our memories has given birth to a new sky
Within you exists your tale , and so does my unknowing tears
Could it be that when I was laughing you were crying?
There exists a similar happiness, but surely there isn't a similar sadness

We have promised to decorate the future with our hemming words
Surely you have yearned for the absolute tomorrow more than anyone else
Like a single repeating season
The sad times will remain sad
So don't hurry to be happy
It's okay , I'm here
It's okay , I'm not going anywhere
There will still come a time when you & I can run freely

Will that bridge be suspended even on a tearless world?
Do the scribbles carved on this wall resemble someone's handwriting?
Trying to keep sadness away , you've tried to suspend that bridge
But now you will throw away your umbrella and close your eyes

It's okay..

It's okay , you can look up now
It's okay , look at that seven-colored bridge
It's in your sky which has once shed the tears
Can you see it? It's in vivid colors
Just like you, I can see it too
That bridge , our bond , is suspended
And our two skys have finally , finally
Become one
And we can now run freely..

Satu single keren dari Aqua Timez berjudul Niji yang artinya pelangi (nggak ada hubungannya dengan band Nidji, lho). Bukan merupakan single terbaru mereka juga sih, karena tanggal 1 Oktober nanti mereka akan merilis single terbaru "Natsu no Kakera". Tapi berhubung beberapa hari belakangan ini banyak yang nanyain di mana bisa download single keren ini, akhirnya aku up-load aja dan disharing di sini.

Silahkan klik di sini untuk mendownload

Dan kalau mau lihat liriknya, mampir aja ke blog aku Coffee Break (numpang sekalian promosi ^_^)

A little bit about how I 'stumbled' upon this music video by accident and found out that I'm loving the catchy song. I was actually searching for Niji by Ninomiya (Arashi): another nice song I like. And you know how when the search results will take you to many other choices as well? Well, it took me to this of Niji by Aqua Timez. NICE! I didn't regret one bit for finding this by accident. You see, sometimes accident happens for a good reason!

Just found out that this was the theme song for Gokusen 3.

Lyrics of Niji by Aqua Timez

Daijoubu dayo miagereba mou

Kutsu himo wo musubi naosu toki kaze ga bokura no senaka wo osu

English Translation for Niji (Rainbow) by Aqua Timez

It’s all right, look up again
All right; look! The seven-colored bridge
At last we laugh under the same sky

It’s time to fasten the shoelace
The wind pushes our back
The sky spilled beyond the light
Let’s continue to sketch that dream

The inner part of our left chest beats fast
The hope and anxiety strike the pulse
I hope that it’s really all right
All mood’s continue exceeding, I wonder

It’s all right, look up again
All right; look! The seven-colored bridge
The tears are sunk and hanged in the sky
Hey, seems like, looked from afar place
I could see you as well, when the same
two skies now have become one
At last we laugh under the same sky

Separately we’re waiting the sky to be born
The sky that reflects our memory
For you there’s your own story
and the existance of my unknown tears
If, by some chance, I laugh at the right time
your crying may come to a light
The similar joy will exist, however
the same sadness will fail

With the word that bordering the future by “promise”
we fix the decoration
You want the certain tomorrow
surely more than anyone

The surrounding season’s one sad moment
that sad as it is
the growth wouldn’t be so fast in happiness
It’s all right, from this place and then
It’s all right, nowhere to angry
Yet the time starts running with you

“In the world without tears too,
will the bridge still hang there?”
In the barrier, the carved graffiti
will be properly similar with somebody’s hand-writing
With the sadness that was kept away
You built the bridge
However, now while throwing the umbrella, close our eyes

It’s all right…

It’s all right, look up again
All right; look! The seven-colored bridge
The tears finished sinking in your sky
Hey, seems like, looked from the brilliant color
I could see you as well, when the same
so-called bond named rainbow is hanged
thus, while the two sky finally, finally
becoming one
It travels to us

Anyway, about the new single itself, I haven't found any further information. I also haven't seen the single cover (-_-)a . Whatever, I'll just keep searching...

And... do you get any strong feeling that Aqua Timez will release an album in the end of this year, as they did in the two previous years?

XD I really hope they would XD .

Yay.

Karena itu, maaf kalau aku nggak bisa bercerita banyak tentang isi blog mereka ini. Sumimasen! Demo, Aqua Timez no atarashi shashin ga arimasu yo! Artinya: Tapi ada foto-foto terbaru mereka, lho! Aku upload di sini ah :) ....

And the last but not least.... Fotonya Futoshi!!

Kawaii desu ne :)

Under the big tree that wrapped up by wind
I sing a dream
Looking for a four-leaf clover
alone I walked in the time's dream
Inner part of my chest flickered
only loneliness illuminated the road
I got tired of waiting for the light
and always, only that illuminated the road
A meeting with you, I've understood
we shared the night one-by-one
we couldn't use words to communicate
in our hearts we hid the loneliness
while keep bluffing you gently stroke this lips
finally I'm able to be myself

The unheard song, the spilled tears
the sky and the earth is taking those all
a person is "one person" but
until I meet again with you
I'll keep believing and living, forever

The way I am now
I conceal the weakness from not having a courage
to love people
My real self almost becomes blind
I keep running till the distant place

The blueness inside the picture has been torn off
I attached it into my own sky
because I wanted a bluer sky
So I pray for everyone to be together
Wouldn't this smile be formed, and
would it overflow from the depths of heart?
Wouldn't I feel thankful, and
would it naturally break out?
out of people too, if more happiness is different
it felt unnoticed
Comparing the impossibilities of making a comparison
attached chains in body
I peek through the lens from when I cried over the pain
in the distant side
cherished the surpassing things only

When searching I was thinking
a human is such a living thing which is full of faults
with no reason to be loved
I searched for myself
I've made a little mistake

It couldn't continue as it was
while trying to drift about
I always finally chose to be "one person"
from the smile also the delight inside the contact
things continue to bloom all over

If a place without pain such as this exists as well
so that I could run away from facing each other
Laying the eyes in the whole thing
under this eyelids I sketched a perfect world but
beyond the flicker
at time when I searched for love
a drop of prayers spilt
With a fragile thumb, you who were full of pain
wiped me in return

Under the big tree that wrapped up by wind
I was together with you
quietly I dropped a kiss
to the soft eyelids of the sleeping you

________________________________________

The second verse is rather messy. Whatever. It's a rather long translation, eh? Yeah. This is request from nobody, in other words I translated it because I wanted to, LOL. Yeah, since I use the last verse of this song as my cellphone ringtone, I thought I should at least understand what those a few last lines mean. Then after I translated the last verse, I was like, "Hell, why I don't just translate the whole song?"

Haha.

Once again, sorry about the second verse (and maybe the other parts of the translation, LOL). I was stuck for about 20 minutes in the second verse only. Right, that's exactly what would happen if you try to translate a Japanese song while you don't really understand the language (-_-)a ...

____________________________

Ketsui No Asani (On Determined Morning)

by Aqua Timez

If you want to do something, then sketch out your pitiful dream
If you want to do something, then sketch out your dream, with badly lit, but pleasant love
"You don't have to pretend, not being very cool suits you well"

The more effort we put into it, the more fruitless our journey is
Our hands and fleet fly everywhere, like we're in an elementary school parade
Living life, isn't it great?
So being laughed at by people definitely feels alright

The real me is shut away in the depths of my heart
36/5 human, to put it plainly now, we don't stop
But I'm still acting tough, I'm still putting up a barrier
I'm fighting with the pain

Times are tough, I wish I could say that that's how I feel
We're a couple of laughing cowards, acting tough
Even though I'm lonely, I'm pretending to be just fine
In order to protect myself, who feels like he's about to crumble

It shouldn't be only me that feels these feelings of having no place to turn to
I'm carrying with me
This rootless loneliness...

I'm indifferent to the pain of others
When I'm really being myself, I get insecure
I hate people, and I think only of being unhappy
I whine about the things that I'm deprived of, I scream and cry like a 3 year old kid
I'm sitting and waiting for my afternoon snack, called love
Not giving in to the reflection in the asphalt
Walking with my own feet, I looked at people, and thought
If I could move, if there was a place I wanted to head to
Then I would walk there with my own feet

There were nights when I wasn't sure if I'd be able to
Get my real smile back again

Supported by the warmth of the people that I love
I thought that maybe I should try to believe, one more time

Times are tough, I wish I could say that that's how I feel
We're a couple of laughing cowards, acting tough
Even though I'm lonely, I'm pretending to be just fine
In order to protect myself, who feels like he's about to crumble, but

My mistakes and scars, being perplexed, and the days when I was about to cry
They're all proof that I lived my life, as myself
If you want to do something, then from now on
Sketch out your pitiful dream, with more strength than anyone else
Readying your explanation, and holding your head high, without hesitation
Keep on singing about a person called yourself

From Mognet

Grandpa once said that when people have reached this age
it will be very difficult for them to understand each other
Grandpa once spilt that when people have reached this age
they will be very afraid of getting separated

Sitting deeply in the chair, you gaze at a distant place
Loneliness sways within the depth of your eyes
Granpa's self only

But I undestand as well, just a little
as for one day I will finally love somebody that much
just like you who love Grandma earnestly

Father once said that when you're still a boy
you protected a girl no matter what kind of thing was happening
and then it continued in this way
within the time, you protected mother

Without raising the voice, the reason can never line up
just as the peaceful lake informed with its figure

Now I understand as well, just a little
as for thinking seriously is different with doing seriously
silently, in return you gave us your affection

Whether it's between parent and child or between men and women
the affection in both connections is wonderful
Perhaps the memories could be reserved

In me, the memories such as those don't exist
From now, if the reason is going to be said
Won't it be let to be sketched?

Yet in the ghastly tomorrow
I load a set of pictures of hope

Here's the translation, finally. Sorry it's so late. I was so lazy last month, LOL.

Después de haber sacado su último single Niji, que la utilizaron para el drama Gokusen, regresa con su 7º single, 夏のかけら, que saldrá el 1 de octubre (aun queda un rato por cierto). La canción se utilizara para la película "Furefure Shoujo", protagonizada YUI Aragaki.

Ａｑｕａ　Ｔｉｍｅｚ、ガッキーと強力タッグ再現！映画主題歌

Kensaku Watanabe's movie "Fure Fure Shojo" will have its theme song provided by the hit band Aqua Timez. The song is a ballad titled "Natsu no Kakera."

"Fure Fure Shojo" was announced back in March, with Yui Aragaki starring as a high schooler who takes on the burden of leading an ouendan to cheer on the boy she loves.

The single is set to go on sale on October 1 and the movie will open later that month, but a ringtone for the song is already available. Trailers for the film begin running in theaters this weekend.

Setting sun that dyeing the street in orange
make me let loose a sigh
The wind set people free to the future
In the wind, people concealed the sadness
Almost sad yet positive creature
laughing at the limit of tough time
People this day too, keep bathing with hope
within the deep dream

I keep the strong will within
with invisible size
The cheek must not get wet easily
so that's what I was taught about
But it was truly a battle, truly a real time
Can't be helped, I feel ashamed
with the overflowing things
even if it wasn't necessary

Honestly I both keep chasing the dream
and also get loving people
Sometimes it's tough,
but still I haven't collapsed either
Original joy along with a crack of sadness
both weeping and laugh, collapse and walking
Now I also broaden my chest
so that one day I could be proud of my own existance

Time that flows in certainty has made us mature
Separation that comes after so-called meeting
has made people mature
The lesson always comes afterward, bring up people
People are changed, changed for the sake of themselves
Getting wet in the rain, we're walking forward
Sometimes the nights are deep to the utmost
and I can't continue walking forward
there's a feeling that I was left behind alone, but
no matter how strong people are, still surely it would be the same
despair and hope continue to exist

People such as everyone
their hearts are reflecting
the exceedingly blue sea, the exceedingly high sky
Let's wander about, live and make the words' bloom
drain the tears, and search for the joy

Dreams are scattered under the sun
absorb the light, a sequel of dreams was expanded
Everyone keep bringing thing such as that balloon
floating in the sky, yet doesn't get sinking in it
Almost losing thing called "reality" in the world
and yet somehow I tumble ahead
A boredom called eternity wasn't awarded to the livings
for this reason I think I would be able to live with all my strength
So without one power, yet without one gentleness
I fell upon various persons and various meetings
inside the limited time

People such as those
their hearts are reflecting
the exceedingly blue sea, the exceedingly high sky
Let's wander about, live and make the words' bloom
drain the tears, and search for the joy
The future are floating
in the exceedingly blue sea, in the exceedingly high sky
let's pray, stand facing tomorrow
shaking off the tears
only hastening ourself inside the wind

One thought, countless questions
Recited scenery, shadow picture of silence
One meeting, eternity's homework
A quiet sea, a quiet sky
A human that gazes at those all

Oka~y... one's down, LOL. Finished within three hours. Request from Aqah. This song was quite easy (that's why only need three hours for me, haha. Usually it needs a couple days to finish). Oh and also, as usual, I've made some minor correction in the ROMAJII lyric.
