SEVEN DAYS WAR

[Larien]

I had a couple of questions about this song. I'm prompted to ask them, because while I was watching Arena Tour 2010 ~Rock'n'Roll Circus Tour~ with my mom, when SEVEN DAYS WAR came on, for something like the third time since hearing this song, she asked me if it was about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six-Day_War
I explained that it was about a personal war instead, but does anyone know if it's referring to anything specific? Reading a translation of the lyrics, it doesn't really seem to be, except for the mood Ayu had when she was writing it. But it's called seven days war...does anyone know why? Was there a week at the end of last year that it might be talking about? Maybe something to do with Mannie, and making a life with him? :s Share your thoughts!

Also, does anyone have the Japanese lyrics, or know where they can be found?

Spoiler:

«Revolution»　ノートに書きとめた言葉
明日をさえぎる壁　のり越えてゆくこと

割れたガラスの破片　机の上のナイフの傷
理由を話せないまま　閉ざされたドア叩いていた

すべてを壊すのではなく　何かを捜したいだけ
すべてに背くのではなく　自分で選びたいだけ

Seven days war　闘うよ
僕たちの場所　この手でつかむまで
Seven days war Get place to live
ただ素直に生きるために

«Communication»　届かない声
つぶれたシューズ　ちぎれたシャツ
ルールと正しさの意味　わからないまま従えない

誰かと争うのではなく　自分をみつけたいだけ
誰かを憎むのではなく　想いを伝えたいだけ

Seven days war　闘うよ
僕たちの場所　誰にもゆずれない
Seven days war Get place to live
うつむかずに生きるために

Seven days war　闘うよ
僕たちの場所　この手で So do it now
Seven days war Get place to live
ただ素直に生きるために

Seven days war　闘うよ
僕たちの場所　誰にも I’ll never give up
Seven days war Get place to live
うつむかずに生きるために

Seven days war　闘うよ
ただ素直に生きるために




“Revolution” nooto ni kakitometa kotoba
Ashita wo saegiru kabe norikoete yuku koto
Wareta garasu no hahen tsukue no ue no naifu no kizu
Wake wo hanasenai mama tozasareta doa tataite ita

Subete wo kowasu no dewa naku nanika wo sagashitai dake
Subete ni somuku no dewa naku jibun de erabitai dake

Seven days war tatakau yo
Bokutachi no basho kono te de tsukamu made
Seven days war get place to live
Tada sunao ni ikiru tame ni

“Communication” todokanai koe
Tsubureta shuuzu chigireta shatsu
Ruuru to tadashisa no imi wakaranai mama shitagaenai

Dareka to arasou no dewa naku jibun wo mitsuketai dake
Dareka wo nikumu no dewa naku omoi wo tsutaetai dake

Seven days war tatakau yo
Bokutachi no basho dare ni mo yuzurenai
Seven days war get place to live
Utsumukazu ikiru tame ni

Seven days war tatakau yo
Bokutachi no basho kono te de so do it now
Seven days war get place to live
Tada sunao ni ikiru tame ni

Seven days war tatakau yo
Bokutachi no basho dare ni mo I’ll never give up
Seven days war get place to live
Utsumukazu ikiru tame ni

Seven days war tatakau yo
Tada sunao ni ikiru tame ni

just want to say that Ayu is not the author of this song, she just made cover

I think 'seven days' means 'seven days in week' = not stop war

The original song by TM Network was meant for a movie titled Seven Days War or "Bokura no Nanokan Sensou".

Short synopsis:

Pupils at an overly strict school set up protest against their teachers' abusive behaviour, causing a panic among the adults that spirals into chaos. A film of fun, friendship, first-love and camaraderie.

Ayu's reasoning for using the song was because the 7days Special was sort of like a "SEVEN DAYS WAR" for her and the A STAFF.

:O I'm shocked! I guess I've just gotten used to the idea that Ayu writes everything, so I didn't consider that it might be something she hadn't wrote.

Was this an old movie?

(Thank you for the lyrics! )

[YUKARI]

yeah it was released in 1988.

lol I've just learned that TM Network is Tetsuya Komuro's band. So that's why ayu decided to make a cover for this song since almost all songs of Love songs album were composed by Komuro.

[Larien]

^ Wow! Has she worked with him before this, then?

[thatstacey]

^He composed all of the song+nation songs, including "A Song is born".
