The Sparkle lyrics in Japanese are very powerful..
I feel like "wow.. so cool"
But then transfer into english, I felt "ahaha.. what is this??"
Its really hard to translate between the two languages,
Because there's also the attitude of the words, and not just the real meanings..

I always are so surprised about those people who learn Japanese well~~
It's great.
I really agree. Often if you read japanese lyrics, they are very nice and strong. but if you translate in english directly it'll become...boring and cliche. but in order to make it sound better in english you'll have to 'make up' words and constructions, so by then it wouldn't really be a translation anymore.
