[do it again] lyrics
 

Once again, thanks to txjxf for the raw Japanese lyrics!! :)

Clarification: The raw lyrics are from recochoku's mobile lyrics site, so they're official. :D

These lyrics are quite cryptic, so I'm not sure if I caught the essence of it. :headache Will be glad if anyone can help decipher this~ Otherwise, enjoy!! :D

this song has caught my attention when i heard the preview..even though ayu's english sounds cheesy haha..but gosh the music totally sounds so interesting!

thx ^^

so the preview is the start of the song...
Hope it'll not be boring with all that reapeted sentences.
thanks Misa-chan.

wow.. the lyrics are amazing, once again. gohs <3

Thanks for lyrics!

Thank you! Now I know for sure that the preview we have is definitely the beginning of the song...haha

I think now I can understand why CDL has this title

Thanks!

Wow, that's a lot of repetition. This song shows that even her fun songs can be really inspiring!

Seems like it's going to be a pretty interesting song. Thanks for translating it Misa!

Interesting...
But eight times at the beginning???

Ayu is amazing! She has the gift to write songs perfect. ♥
Thx a lot for translating!

god, she is so amazing. thanks for translating.

I'd like to offer my translation, just so you can add or correct your translation, Misa~

(dance dance dance
do it again) x8

(sing sing sing
do it again) x8

Do you still remember the dream
Which you drew one day?

Where is that dream now,
And what shape has it taken?

"What's sad is giving up" (She uses almost exactly the lyrics from Naturally)
That's also true now.

But, in reality, Things that are not only that
Have begun to multiply, (It's terribly confusing to translate in English)

And with just dreams...
Just dreams...

(dance dance dance
do it again) x4

(sing sing sing
do it again) x4

Does that warm your heart
Suddenly?

Does that tighten around your heart
Strongly?

"Releasing something is also courage"
Is something that is known after becoming an adult.

But I am reminded at this time
That it's not easy, And...

What would you
Think right now?

(dance dance dance

(sing sing sing

Do you still remember the dream

Where is that dream now,
And what shape has it taken?

Have begun to multiply,

"Releasing something is also courage"
Is something that is known after becoming an adult.

With just dreams,
Just dreams...

It sounds sort of like she's singing to herself, does anyone else think so?

I wonder how long this song is! It's either gonna be epic or such a chore!

I like that she referenced back to Naturally's lyrics (kanashii no wa akiramete shimau koto da to)

@maikaru, thanks lots!! I've looked through your translation and corrected some parts of mine. :D What really puzzles me is these lines

夢だけじゃ...
夢だけが...

I feel that the way its written in Japanese somehow links to the lines directly before and after it, but I can't seem to replicate that in English... :headache

so sad. fantastic

Wah, more sad/serious lyrics... great <3

These are probably the most cryptic lyrics I've seen in an Ayu song. As Andali said, it really does sound like she's singing to herself. Ahh, I really wanna hear this song too. :|

Meh the lyrics are alright.

Really feels like it huh? It's like saying she will be a singer even if given a second option back then...
It all the more shows the importance of the song. Maybe she'll explain in CDL

Thanks!^^

Reminds me of "flower garden". :3 I cna't wait to hear what this sounds like! :D Thanks, Misa!

8x?? xD

sing, sing, sing, do it again!

Not as long as it sounds. ;)

(Try listening to the preview :innocent)

thanks

so, it was english? Haha! Anyway thanks!

Thanks!

I don't think the English sounds cheesy at all. It actually fits quiet into the song. She talks about doing things over and over, so it's like she's ssaying to herself, "do this same dance again". The repetition shows how often it happens in life.

I often think the same thing as this song, lol.

thank you for the translation! im loving this song. glad it has an epic mv.

Wow... they're a bit bone chilling. It seems like she's talking to the audience then the 'do it again''s come in like faint persistent echoes going through her mind. You wonder, is she telling you to go forward or comforting herself for choosing to keep going even though the pressure is so much.

Love this song already. Thanks, Misa.

I actually think　the　lyrics　are　fairly　self　explanatory.　　Its 　how　she　feels　about　her　career,　the　constant　repe tition of it and how she thinks in the back of her mind somewhere that maybe it is best to stop, or take a break or whatever but she keeps continuing at the same pace because "letting go is easier said than done." What might lie at the end of letting go is too scary too face, so just keeps "doing it again."

i keep thinking dance dance dance is dsah dash dash..>_<

I love the lyrics, and ever since hearing the preview have gotten the "dance dance dance, do it again. Sing sing sing, do it again" stuck in my head.

I love it... it's sad, it's painful, but I love it.

You speak Japanese, right? What's your interpretation? This is always interesting to me!

love this song, I def get a desperate feeling while listening to it as the repetitiveness of dance dance do it again and sing sing do it again goes on.

Is it really "Dance, dance, dance, do it again" ?? I always understand "Does, does, does, do it again".
She pronunce is not really clear, don't she?

Ha, Mari-chan, it's the same with me - when I heard the song for the first time, what I heard was 'does, does, does, do it again' and 'think, think, think, do it again' :) So, when I read the lyrics, I was surprised :)

But I really love the song veeeeeeery much!!! . It's so melodious and epic. I am about to cry when I listen to it, because it's so emotional... It's a pity that many of the fans here dislike it because of repetitions... For me they are the greatest repetitions ever :)

Interesting. I thought the "現実" line might've translated to something more like, "But that's not all--what's also increasing is reality..."

But then again, translating Japanese into English has never been my strong suit XD.

8x on the first part?!? Interesting

and the musical styling is so "old-school"

Thanks for sharing

THIS. it really sounds like DOES, DOES, DOES, do it again XD

Mine neither, esp for artistic stuff like lyrics lol!! :D

Because it was "現実で" which is "in reality" rather than reality as a subject itself, that's why I translated it that way... Not 100% sure though, the lyrics for this particular song has me stumped. :dead2
