Awww, he sounds kinda sweet. I'm starting to like him now, I can forgive him for blabbing to the newspapers xDD

[aloopy]

Yeah kudos to Nao'ymt for writing Shut Up. Lyrics are wonderful. thanks for the translation!
Though Shut Up is my least favorite track on P<F! It's missing some... anger? lol maybe it's just me

I hope we get Defend Love lyrics soon!

[pommy48]

^ Lol yeah...I read that apparently Namie was very relaxed in Hawaii recording Shut Up?....

[SunshineSlayer]

^ I like the vocals in Shut Up. To me, its better that they aren't angry because it conveys the feeling of "I'm so tired of this that I can't even get angry anymore so just shut up already" haha.

I also get this feeling. Shut Up is my favourite track from the album.

I translated Defend Love. It was very hard for me to translate ~.~ Her lyric style is very different from ayu, alan & kuu (which I'm used to translating).

Defend Love

Beyond how much time and space will I go to find the answer?
Hey, will the fog in this gloomy world clear up when I find it?
This phase is distorted by poorly sorted information
And wakes up old memories that should’ve disappeared

Who are you searching for? S.O.S.
It’ll be endless if you won’t change
Don’t tell me any lies
It’s impossible to keep hiding your true colours

*What’s the use of self-righteous fights?
Where are the sins that you are carrying by yourself?
If you want to obtain love, you should know pain
Don’t be afraid. Don’t avert your eyes
We must defend love

I don’t want to fight no more
The consequences are rough
Overcoming crisis and loneliness is tough
Fight against the stale air
We have a duty to defend love

Grab the chains of faith at times when you’re lost
Look! Here’s the wisdom to survive in this once again crumbling world
Water flowers that are about to whither, this is the new way
How far away is the hope that was thrown away recklessly?

An incomplete resolution is meaningless
Following the light is an endless race
At painful times there’s an opportunity
To use the strength to fight your destiny

*repeat

What do you shun? What do you lament?
White or black? It’s like an opera
What do sneer at? What do you detest?
Where does the boundary between right and wrong fade?
Where is pride?
Where is the soul?

Hey, you have to remember because it’s important
How was the journey so far?
If we’re together
We’ll find the answer
So, please towards the future...
Please save us Dr.

(don't even ask me what she means with 'it's like an opera' xD melodrama?)

Is there any other PAST<FUTURE song y'all would especially like to see translated?

[Rocky Raven]

Thanks so much for the translation, I love how mystery and hiding- meaning lyric Namie has for her song!

[untitledforayu]

^ ^
Love the Dr. reference in the Defend Love lyrics!

Does anyone think that Namie's vocals in 'Bad Habit' and 'Steal My Night' sound a lot like Meisa Kuroki? I find the resemblence uncanny... and I guess that's why I don't like those 2 songs...

[zyoeru]

^ I haven't noticed, the next time I listen I'll keep an ear out. I have noticed however that sometimes Akina Nakamori's vocals on her latest album DIVA sound a little like Namie.

OMG! I thought I was the only one think this XD! Wow hoho Akina Nakamura's vocal on DIVA is awesome, deep and sexy voice!

I really wanna read the translation for Bad Habit or First Timer, thanks so much if you can do one of those 2 if not both, take your time, and thanks for the Defend Love translation it's top 5 on my fave tracks for P<F!!

[rakeru]

The lyrics for Defend Love are better than I expected!

"What’s the use of self-righteous fights?
Where are the sins that you are carrying by yourself?
If you want to obtain love, you should know pain
Don’t be afraid. Don’t avert your eyes
We must defend love"

Pretty sober for an aggressive dance song.

[dreamland2.0]

Thank you tenshi!! I really love the dark mysterious aura Defend Love has!!

[Maemi]

PAST<FUTURE's total reported Sales: 512,627 (5 weeks)

I think everything is possible, especially in Namie's case, let's hope for the best!
Myself I've already been satisfied with the sale

[AyUta]

I think it's possible. She's doing amazing in sales .

[dreamland2.0]

^Me too She has sold so well already and she totally deserves it I hope it will surpass PLAY though, because nowadays it's sometimes rare for albums to surpass previous sales...
Go go PAST<FUTURE!!!

[AyuSecret*]

I love you.
