Also, dare I say it, The GIFT is kind of growing on me? Here's a snippet of the translation; I'm unsure of some of the lyrics in the opening verse so I won't translate the whole thing yet. This is the first chorus, from the preview on the official site, and then continuing on to what sounds like it could be the end of the song from the LINE CAST previews:

Quote:
Starting today, the two of us
will climb the staircase of life anew
Step by step,
we tread carefully with sure feet
Heading towards the eternity we promised each other

Now I understand
the sadness and tears I've overcome,
they were all for the sake of this moment

Starting today, the two of us
will live our lives
to make each other the happiest people on earth
After all, this love
is God's greatest gift

'kamisama' is an interesting word in Japanese. It could mean a lot of things--there's no differentiation between what Christians think of as God, or the spirits that are worshipped in the Shinto religion. My explanation is a little too simplistic; you can read more about it on wiki: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kami

Perhaps a better, less polarizing translation would be:

After all, this love
is the greatest gift in the world

But really, it all just comes down to interpretation.

"Anything for You" doesn't sound like a title for interlude though...

I love how the previews sound.
The Gift actually sounds rich and I really like how she sounds in it.

WARNING is a love given.

It sounds like the mixing's solid in these (for those who didn't like the mixing on previous albums) and they use real instruments, at least in The Gift.

The mixing sounds good to me too--which means Last minute is going to stick out like a sore thumb. -___- I would give anything for a more-polished version of that song.

Honestly, those lyrics are really horrible... Can it get more kitschy?

Hm, does it seem like the album tracks so far aren't really dealing with 'love' lyrically like some other albums have? Seems refreshing to me.

Thanks for the translation!

The lyrics are very sweet. That is all.
Also, after listening to the preview from the site, I do like the song more so far. Still nothing amazing, but fine.

The GIFT seems to be about her marriage... so I would disagree.
