You rather take it or #93 for what HERO had overall 1st week wise ?

Review for JASMINE Complexxx. The strongest single this era have to be Best Partner!! The a side & b side are flawless. ONE & ONLY YOU are my least favorite single, but Addiction is really addicting "don't fu*k with me". High Flying & HERO are my club bangers. Now, the four new songs, my least fave is Realize. For "I Hate You", I felt like I heard something similar a while ago. "Weekend High" got to be the best out of the four new songs, catchy and gives me a High Flying vibe, but the climax or high point of the song sounds a little weird and funny (lol). "I'll be there" is a great album closer, when the song first released, I thought it was boring, but after listening to the the album all the way through, it is flawless. Overall, I'll give the album 8/10. 3 years and only 4 new song isn't enough for me (call me greedy, but I want more).

Yeah, I'm shocked in regards to this Complexxx album... But it's mainly because of her previous singles... Seems the good old days for her are gone...?

[ayu_ready?]

I have the feeling they're gone

You're welcome~

I'll be there (translation)

Spoiler:

I'll be there

Do you realize?
Not everyone in the world is guaranteed to have a tomorrow
Do you feel it?
Not everyone in the world is able to have dreams the same way as you

Where are you headed? Choose properly
Because copying someone else's happiness
Is meaningless to you

*It's ok to waver again and again. I'm right beside you
So you won't fear the future
Voice your fears again and again. I'll be listening closely. I'll be there for you
Until you'll be able to smile

Do you know?
Not everyone in the world has the chance to be embraced by a mother's love
Do you understand?
Not everyone in the world even has the chance to be born like you were

Not being bothered to look and saying "life is no fun" with a tired expression
Isn't like you
Sorry for not realizing sooner

**It's ok to fall down again and again. I'm right beside you
So you won't give up on the present
It's ok to cry again and again. I'll be waiting for you. I'll be there for you
Until you can start walking again

I don't want to live alone. I need you
I embrace you. When I embrace you, yeah, there are no limits, say yeah

* repeat
** repeat

Is there any romanji for I'll Be There?
(and instrumental for ONLY YOU)

Wow, again, thank you so much for your time! I really do appreciate it. It is such a beautiful song.

(I want to also thank you for all the translations you did at your livejournal. I frequently visit it mainly for Miliyah translations, and it's been of tremendous help. I have to say that by far, in my opinion, you translate songs from Japanese to English better than anyone else does. I really, really admire how well you can translate these songs. It's always enjoyable to listen to music while reading your translations. Sorry if this seems out of nowhere, but I'm really thankful for all your work and time.)

[tenshi no hane]

^ Aww thank you for your lovely comment <3
However, some of my oldest LJ translations might not be 100% reliable because I hadn't studied Japanese very long back then.


edit:
Weekend High (translation)

Spoiler:

Feeling low since yesterday
Cold replies to my emails
In a sense, those are dangerous signs

Simply said, my heart feels drained
Putting on make-up isn't worth the effort
My new strategy is to become a shut-in
I just wanna go back to sleep, but…

Thank God it's Friday night
I'm reborn
Thank God it's Friday night

Ready to get things going
Representing fashionable girls everywhere
My instincts come back to life

*Weekend High
Ready for party time
Forget bad days
Everything's gonna be okay
Weekend High
Ready for party time
Kick away bad news
The party makes your dreams come true
Dreams come true

The rigid shop manager at my part-time job
Is simply taking his anger out on me, isn't he?
I quickly figure out that's the situation

But, no way, I'm the one who's got to
Handle customer complaints?
That customer looks ready to blow up
I seriously wanna run away, but…

Thank God it's Friday night
A change of mind
Thank God it's Friday night

Meeting up in front of Starbucks
My man also arrives
I feel wonderful

*repeat

Jump around, jump around
Everybody jump around
Jump around, jump around
Boys and girls, jump around, jump around
Jump around, jump around
Gramps and granny, jump around
Jump around, jump around
Everybody jump around, jump around

Ready to get things going
Representing fashionable girls everywhere
My instincts come back to life

*repeat

The "gramps and granny, jump around" line still cracks me up

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

really disappointed in the sales, even though it's not a huge surprise. I do really enjoy the album. I like "Weekend High" but I HATE that she says "Thanks God it's Friday night." lol just irks me.

[Chiharo]

Thank you so much for the Weekend High translation! I could only figure a few lines she was saying. This one is probably my favorite new track on the album. (I couldn't say that on the first few listens, though.)

And the "Thanks God it's Friday night" thing just got enjoyable for some reason. It's good old Engrish so maybe that's why I like it, lol.

[salina]

thanks for the link

@KarenPang

There was no need to remove the link. I'd be happy if my rip is shared with everyone else on AHS. My comment was just sort of random, and I certainly didn't mean it to sound in any way negative. I'm sorry if that's the impression you got. If you want, you can repost the link again.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

My boyfriend likes her a lot, because she has that urban hip-pop thing going on. His favorite song is BEST PARTNER, so while we were in Japan, I went to a few places to make sure I could buy the single.

[kakumei]

new single, "Countdown" out 12.25, CD and CD+DVD editions up at most shops now

Countdown is said to be produced/written with NERVO, and a non-stop remix of 5 songs is said to be included on the single.

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

^Never heard of nervo, but definitely excited for a new single! And a non-stop remix! Probably her most popular five songs.

Hero
BEST PARTNER
High Flying
Sad to say
ONE
