Hey all, after our discussions I have made some changes to my preferred translation.

As I said before, it is very important to me that the english follows the song as it is sung, so that the english you are reading matches what Ayu is singing...

I have made a subtitle file (.srt) to try to demonstrate what I mean.

here is the file: http://www.mediafire.com/?kvmtoaz11e5
(if you need help on how to play .srt files visit Love Appears's thread here)

It is timed to the MTV PV version available in these threads:

.avi thread
MPEG2 thread
rm thread

(If the file you have is 5:18 minutes long, the timing should be fine...)

Here is the translation I have decided on: (major differences highlighted)

Each word you casually exchange with me
Is a precious treasure to me
But I myself feel a bit embarrassed about this
So if you knew, you would surely laugh at me

I want to see you, I want to see you
I want to at least hear your voice
With nothing to say, I'll give you a call

When you are here, just like that
My heart becomes so warm
My one wish, I have only one,
Yes, in this way, forever,
I want to love you this much, would that be okay?
You have someone precious, I've known for a long time
It's clear from your smile

Painful, painful
Nights when my chest feels so tight
Certainly pass though

I think of you, and just like that
My heart's existence has meaning
I don't expect anything from you
Only, in this way, forever
can I stay as I am, loving you this much, would that be ok?

I want to see you, I want to see you
I want to at least hear your voice
with nothing to say, I'll give you a call

When you are here, just like that
My heart becomes so warm
my one wish, I have only one,
Let me keep loving you this much

I think of you, and just like that
My heart's existence has meaning
I don't expect anything from you
Only, in this way, forever
can I stay as I am, loving you this much, would that be ok?

Please let me know what you think!!!
