I'd heard the word "prim" before but only in the phrase "prim & proper"... it's an older english word that isn't in the vernacular anymore. I knew what it meant, though it does sound odd in the context.

Really? Then I might have to change the word. Do you have any suggestion instead of "prim"? The Japanese phrase "tsun to suru" expresses cool and refusing attitude, but looks somewhat pretty.

'ourselves' is a combination of J-pop and R&B... with ayu's unique style!!! I like it very much!!

The song is awesome... ayu has written another masterpiece (Notice: credits to the lyrics... as well, give credits to BOUNCEBACK for the music!!!) Thanks for the translation!!

[xiaohui]

ya thanx a lot i like the lyrics n ayu has done a great job again!!

[CREA]

prudish, pedantic, formal, proper are all synonyms of prim. But prim fits perfectly, your translation is fine

[destiny_ayu]

Thnx for the translation

I have two suggestions, even if they are not suitable they may at least give you new ideas:

"I regain my composure". Lacking in meaning but fits perfectly into the song.
or
"Back to my independent self". This conveys the meaning much better and uses a common Ayu theme/word (independent), but might be too long/stray too far from the original words. Option to add "I'm" or "Now I'm" in front to keep to the song format.

Hope you find this useful...your work is always very readable and is much appreciated Masa.

Thank you for for always translating Ayu's songs masa.

The phrase "get prim" is not very common in everyday spoken english but I have heard it before. I think your choice of words is fine.

thanks grantit ! i've find them now... :p

[Ryoko]

Thanks.. though it's an interesting word(prim) to put in a song....

[masa]

After all, I decided to leave the word (prim) as it is, as it seems there is no other word short and suitable. Thanks for your opinions.
