Tokyo Purin and fellow friends - 明日笑っていられるように

[Eewyi]

This was so sad I was close to crying several times while watching. The video, the lyrics, the song...and how the father spoke to his boy... ( ; ____ ; )
This is beautiful and sad.
Bittersweet colloboration.

[chocopockymaster]

I watched this a handful of times at 3 in the morning and was a right mess. It's beautiful. The video, the lyrics, everything just hit me right in the feels.

The lyrics really do read like a letter from a father to his son, so that's how I chose to translate them. Here you go:

So that you can smile tomorrow,
call your wife by her name, not just “Mama”
Take her to where you made your vows to each other
and talk about everything, even if it’s too late

So that you can smile tomorrow,
throw away everything that’s held you back
You might think it’s not a big deal,
but do it anyhow

So that you can smile tomorrow,
cry until your tears dry up
If you see someone that looks sad,
wrap them gently in your warm arms

So that you can smile tomorrow,
eat the foods you love until you’re full
Udon, chikuwabu, satsuma-age
What’ll it be? Hmm, it’s hard to decide

So that you can smile tomorrow,
go visit the Sky Tree
Take this city of ours
and burn it into your memory so you’ll never forget

So that you can smile tomorrow,
drink without restraint
Get drunk, sleep, and then in your dreams
You can see the person you miss the most, just one more time

So that you can smile tomorrow,
embrace the people you love
No matter what, you’re never alone
Both of you should know that

So that you can smile tomorrow,
stay up all night reading manga
No one will get angry with you
It’s freeing, but a little lonely too

So that you can smile tomorrow,
call up the girl you broke up with after your fight
Listen to what really happened that night
and cast aside your ill-will

So that you can smile tomorrow,
kiss her under that bridge
Create a secret moment
that not even a spy satellite could uncover

So that you can smile tomorrow,
go back and read over your old diary
You’ve lived life the best you could,
it’s time to pat yourself on the back

So that you can smile tomorrow,
clean up every room in the house
Go through everything that’s been locked away,
hidden inside a desk

So that you can smile tomorrow,
delete your embarrassing emails
To take their place, write yourself a letter
so long you’ll never finish reading it

So that you can smile tomorrow,
I’ll make a promise with you, man-to-man
Protect your family, no matter what comes
and you’ll be a better man than I was

So that you can smile tomorrow,
leave something behind that proves you were here
It doesn’t matter that life could end tomorrow
You’re here, now

And I’ll always be near you

Kanji lyrics:

Spoiler:

明日笑っていられるように
ママを名前で呼んでみよう
未来を誓ったあの場所へ行き
いまさらな話でもしよう

明日笑っていられるように
迷ってたものを捨ててみよう
きっと気持ちが軽くなって
さぁ今から何しでかそう

明日笑っていられるように
涙枯れるまで泣いておこう
悲しい顔の誰かを見たら
暖かく包みこんであげよう

明日笑っていられるように
好きなものを腹一杯食べよう
うどん　ちくわぶ　さつま揚げ
どうしよう　うーん　悩むな

明日笑っていられるように
スカイツリーへ行っておこう
僕らが暮らしたこの町を
忘れずに焼き付けておこう

明日笑っていられるように
心置きなく飲んでみよう
酔って眠って夢の中で
あの人にもう一度だけ会おう

明日笑っていられるように
大切な人を抱きしめてみよう
どんな時でも一人じゃない
互いにそう思えるはずだから

明日笑っていられるように
寝ないで漫画を読んでいよう
誰も怒ってくれやしない
自由だな　だけど寂しいな

明日笑っていられるように
喧嘩別れの　あいつに電話しよう
あの夜の真相聞き出して
わだかまり　なくしてしまおう

明日笑っていられるように
ガードの下でキスをしよう
たとえスパイ衛星さえも
探せない秘密を作ろう

明日笑っていられるように
昔の日記を読み返してみよう
以外と必死に生きてきた
今までの自分を褒めよう

明日笑っていられるように
実家の部屋を掃除しよう
机に隠しておいたままの
隠しごと片付けておこう

明日笑っていられるように
恥ずかしいメールは消しておこう
代わりに君への手紙を書こう
読み切れないほど長い手紙

明日笑っていられるように
おまえと男の約束しよう
何があっても家族は守れ
そしてパパ　超えてゆくんだぞ

明日笑っていられるように
生きてる証を残しておこう
明日に終わる人生でも　かまわない
「僕はいまここ」

いつだってそばにいるからね

Thanks for your translation!!

[freedreamer]

Kuu and Ayu sang really beautifully!
Initially I didnt know what this was about and I saw Ayu sharing it on Twitter and I was surprised to hear Kuu's voice.. (which suddenly joined to misono's omg)

Now that I understand the significance of this, it's amazing. The lyrics are so poignant but positive.

Thank you for the translations, it's really touching to be honest. I was in the same situation as you this morning. The video was uploaded around 2-3ish am and I was still awake doing my hw and God I was bawling while replaying like 4 or 5 times.

[marty]

So sad, but so beautiful!

[~angel*ayumi~]

The lyrics are so touching, and the PV too. It´s such a beautiful song ._.

[truehappiness]

So touching...

Lovely track and video.

Also, thanks for the lyrics! It's so beautiful.

ayu and kuu <3
just collaborate already

[Loulines]

Ayu's voice is sooo beautiful *^* Kuu's too, as always, but misono... nope, nope, nope
Anyway, the lyrics, PV and song creates that weird feeling... sad feeling... it's just so beautiful and sad :c

[Eewyi]

Thank you for the translation, it's so touching..I've almost teared up while reading...
so beautiful...and sad.

[Refix]

It's a nice song, if we take aside the sad story behind the song, it was really a nice song. Heart whelming lyric and video, simple melody. It's a nice song.

[NintendoHTF1242]

The song is beautiful. Wow.

EDIT: God Ayu's voice is so damn beautiful nowadays. I love it.

[chocopockymaster]

I feel like this should go without saying, but please don't post my translations elsewhere without giving me credit. Some jackass just posted them as a comment on the youtube video without giving me any recognition whatsoever.

I don't know who you are, and I don't really care. That was not cool, dude. Don't do it again. Myself and other translators do this for the benefit of fans who don't speak Japanese, so don't take my hard work and try to pass it off as your own.

/end rant

[kendelle]

I listened to this song yesterday.....it has a lovely PV and I like the lyrics as well....

It's lovely that the proceeds are going to a good cause. I think I will purchase this and get it when I order Ayu's next album

Sad to hear about that. I'll add a comment on the 1st page. Hope that helps =)
