MADE IN JAPAN song titles + lyric teasers on social media

[truehappiness]

She did it for a few days before Rock'n'Roll Circus which was... strange, lol.

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I do think she'll sing several new songs, and tbh for her fanbase, most of the people at the tours also support her in terms of buying music, so teasing them is actually a good strategy. Because, and I've said this before, she's really not making any new fans. Or not enough to make big changes in her music sales.

She could attract old fans, though.

[dumbellz]

Oh FLOWER. I wonder if she forgot she posted TODAY before and posted it again yesterday

[Next_Level29]

躊躇わないで、どうせならトドメ刺して終わらせて。
笑わないで冷たい目で。嘘が下手ね。

a facebook fan translated it, i guess, eith this:
Laugh is good,
But,have limit
Laugh is the life energy
But...you must know...
Too much (. )will suffering you,

but google translator say something else, somehow again darker lyrics
Do not hesitate , to end stabbing
With cold eyes, don't smile.
i can not lie

I would translate it like that:

Don't hesitate, go ahead if you want to finish me off (not sure about that one).
Don't laugh/smile with your cold eyes. You are not good at lying you know.

Quite dark.

Now she just needs the title WIND and we will have the complete
FLOWER, MOON, (BLUE) BIRD, WIND japanese culture combo

Now she also has FLOWER and Hana lol

Edit: holy, those lyrics sound so dark!

[truehappiness]

oo, FLOWER! Such dark lyrics...

Spoiler:

Love her attitude here.

[yamadashun]

The lyrics are so dark and deep somehow but the title is just generic. Maybe the next song is KAZE? Just kidding lol

#MADEINJAPANまであと8日

tamerawanaide, douse nara todome sashite owarasete.
warawanaide tsumetai me de. uso ga heta ne.

Now, rough English translation for me.

Without hesitation; you might put an end to ending.
Don't laugh with cold eyes. You are not good at lying.

Dark lyrics, yeah!! Maybe something rockish...?

[ayumint]

Wow!! Photo she posted is related with that dark lyrics
I love it

Don't hesitate,
you might as well finish me with off with a stabbing blow.
With no smile and cold eyes.
You're not a good liar.


My take~

*there's no proper noun in the last sentence. Could be you, could be I. But I'm guessing it's you.



Ps I try not to take any artistic liberties with lyrics because I don't consider myself a lyricist (or poet) in English, let alone Japanese. So my translations might be a little too straight forward.

Now I look to your translation, seems way better than mine.
And about the last sentence, I'd say it's "you".

Oh YES that's what I had in mind! Your translations are so good. I was to slow as always

I'm also not so sure how that lyrics are connected to flowers lol. Maybe because she is fragile and can be broken easily? But the lyrics seem too strong for that. Maybe she just needed a title to fit her seasons theme

I LOVE your take on it; i would just change the last middle bit to "Don't smile at me with those cold eyes", or with a cold stare--笑わないで is a negative imperative.

[truehappiness]

It's very much a song with attitude... sounds like autumn to me.

[Aderianu]

"FLOWER"? what's "FLOWER" in this lyrics???

[tokyoxjapanxfan]

I just want a song with wind in the title! Finish the 花鳥風月 theme! Lol

[Next_Level29]

^oh my god i was hoping that your translation is dark as mine! and it is, im so looking forward to this album. SO MUCH

[truehappiness]

I'm gonna guess a flower is being used in the title for a song like this to represent how fragile the subject is.

Hana / FLOWER
BLUE BIRD
?
MOON

Come on, Ayu!

I wonder if she's trying to go for the kachoufuugetsu for the concert/album intentionally... if so, YES.

Though, if she went with GALE or BREEZE or TORNADO lmao..i'd be fine too
(maybe TYPHOON would be a lil sensitive in the japanese geographical context..)
