Most of my favourite singers are Japanese and as a hobby I enjoy translating their music into English. Before I knew much Japanese I was already listening to some Japanese music and always thought I would love to know what the songs meant. I am putting my translations here to help others understand the meaning of these songs. I think it may also serve a very useful educational purpose for students of Japanese as well. Lyrics are a wonderful way to learn a living and evolving language. There are often a number of idioms, casual terms, and set phrases strewn throughout songs that are important to master a language. I hope these translations help you understand the music and assist those studying the language.

Please note that any and all mistakes are my own. I would appreciate it if you would let me know if you spot any mistakes. Furthermore, I take no claim whatsoever to the original lyrics and as such I am not going to post them in full. For educational purposes, however, if you hover your mouse over the translated lyrics it'll show you the original lyrics for that section.
