Microphone lyrics (unofficial) + translations

Someone in Japan transcribed the song by ear (not official lyrics, so they are unconfirmed until the actual lyrics are released) and maikaru/oji-i-san translated the lyrics. Sticking them in the Chat Room since I don't want their work to get lost in the sea of posts in the information thread.

These lyrics come from Livedoor, a cellphone BBS, and some blogs... they were posted in a bunch of different places. Like here (http://cute.sh/ayulove1/microphone.html) and the translations come from the album information thread. Specifically here and here.

I really like the lyrics for this song. Soooo much emotion. I wonder if the other album tracks will be as powerful...

If someone can romanize the lyrics, that would be nice. I can remember how the song goes, but I can't remember what words she's singing because I can barely hear them in the rip haha.

thank you for the translations you guys for this wonderful awesome kick ass song.

PS:i dont care who ever dont like it cos i really2 love Mirophone ^^

Thanks for the translations to maikaru and Oji-i-san, and thanks to th for putting them together and in a place they can be found! I was scared they'd get lost in the other thread lol

This song is incredible just to listen to, it makes it almost perfect that the lyrics are so wonderful.

The translation seems to picture Ayu's relationship with the Microphone and it's so emotional and powerful!

Thank you for Maikaru and Oji-i-san for the translation :yes

Thanks Oji-i-san and maikaru for full translations! ^^ I love these lyrics.

romaji & translation

henka wa totemo sutekina koto dakedo

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Change really is a great thing
But it doesn’t mean losing yourself
The origin of who you are up until this moment
You can hold onto from now on as well

Of course I also had days
Where I felt my limits
I crouched down and turned my back away from everything, but…

I won’t get lost anymore, I don’t have regrets
Meeting you was destiny
Because the one who always teaches me
Who I am and the reason for my existence
Is you

But there are times I hate you so much
I don’t want to see your face
Sometimes I think to myself
“I never want to see you again”

But that doesn’t mean we can be seperated
In the end you’re the one I always want by my side

Gravity pushes me, gravity pulls me
It was inevitable for us to meet
I can’t disobey you, only admire you
I know that without you
I’m not myself

If there is a perfect melody
I don’t want to meet it yet

I won’t get lost anymore, I don’t have regrets
Meeting you was destiny
You are the one who always teaches me
Who I am and the reason for my existence

Gravity pushes me, gravity pulls me
It was inevitable for us to meet
I can’t disobey you, only admire you
I know that without you
I’m not myself

Thanks alot for the lyrics :D
Now I can sing along with the song :)

Thanks for the translation! :D

@appears - thanks for the romaji lyrics. :)

Thank you for Maikaru and Oji-i-san for the translation :yes

i thought it might've been aimed at her fans, but it is definitely towards her Microphone. :yes the lyrics match so well with the song name, too. definitely a song filled with emotion.

Thanks for the lyric but I dont get the connection between Microphone and the meaning of this song

thanks for the members who have given their translation of this song..
this song is very epic!
love the meaning of it!
it's totally about Ayu and the microphone!

Well, the "you" in the song is her Microphone I'd think. "If there's no microphone there's no Ayumi Hamasaki. Becoming an artist was my destiny and that defined who Ayumi Hamasaki is".

I really love the line of her having no regrets, because it could be interpereted like "There's nothing in my career that I wished afterwards I hadn't done it." Not that I ever doubted, but it's still nice to hear that. :)

oh i see. i was just wondering why is the song titled Microphone.

thanks for the explanation!

and my additional understanding: Microphone = ayu's artist career/ her singer's position

really thanks for the full translation and romaji n original lyrics. this song is the BEST in many years!!

I love this song even more, thanks a lot for the lyrics!

official or not I love these lyrics

Those lyrics are great!
We don't know who she is refering to but I hope it isn't a beloved man again.
I'd prefer if she began to sing about something else.

^It seems as though the song is aimed towards her feelings for the Microphone (a.k.a. her music career) Not~Yet explained it perfectly. I am even more in love with this song. :)
