[Bigtop]

I just found out that Kanjani8's three-single-in-three-days releases already have leaked in full all because of a promotional disc...

Could this really be a bit better of an advantage for Ayu? She might just have a shot on continuing her #1 single streak...

Here's my attempt at translating the lyrics in the "You were..." preview. I'm not posting the romaji I worked from just because it's probably embarrassingly bad. XD Take these with a grain of salt, I probably have alot of things wrong, but it gives you an idea of what she's saying.

The first part's translation is based on what ayu posted on her blog though.

The lovers pass by each other and bump shoulders as they walk
The cold is so piercing because you're not here
If it gets to the point that the season can be forgotten, then that's the point where there's nothing left
That which shined so bright in my dreams was the act of loving you, so

I thought you were the last person
I wanted my last love to be with you
Alone under such a vast night sky
What in the world am I supposed to think...?

Such a shy smiling face was there next to me before
Hey, how long until this pain finally ends?

The continuation of the dream we spoke of back then
And the favorite phrases we always said to each other
You might be able to forget everything
But I won't ever be able to forget a single one.

The moment I started to move on, I was attacked
by memories of your kindness and warmth

I thought you were the last person
I wanted my last love to be with you
Alone under such a vast night sky
What in the world am I supposed to think?

The continuation of the dream we spoke of back then
And the favorite phrases we always said to each other
You might be able to forget everything
But I won't ever be able to forget a single one

But I won't ever be able to forget a single one.

You're not the only one!! I feel like the You were... lyrics reference the last part of M, which makes the lyrics all the more powerful. Looks like the wish and the praying in M didn't come true.

Thanks for the translation!

[love in music]

Ayumi Hamasaki’s 'You were…' chosen as Tinkerbell theme song

Friday 20th November, 04:00 AM JST

TOKYO —

Singer Ayumi Hamasaki, 31, had her wish come true when her new song “You were…” was chosen as the theme song for the Japanese language version of Walt Disney’s animated film “Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” (“Tinkaberu to tsuki no ishi.”)

Hamasaki was chosen for the role as she “is as popular as Tinkerbell with Japanese women, and has the power to make those around her feel good,” says one industry insider. Hamasaki said: “I’m just honored to be part of something that is loved by people all over the world.”

Another of Hamasaki’s new songs – “BALLAD” – will be used as the theme song for “Sokyu no subaru” to be shown on NHK BS hi from Jan 2. Both “You were…” and “BALLAD” will go on sale Dec 29.

“Tinker Bell and the Lost Treasure” opens on Dec 23.

That title is the title in most other places, but “Tinkaberu to tsuki no ishi.” (the title of the movie in Japan) means "Tinker Bell and the Moon Rock."
