I promise this will be the last post on this dorama. =)
タイヨウのうた by Moon Child
タイヨウのうた by Sawakiri Erika
You would definitely appreciate the song much more after watching the dorama because the lyrics to this song (as well as the lyrics to Amane Kaoru's other song Stay With Me) echoes Kaoru's relationship development with Kouji.
Here are the lyrics, from here.
震えている私の手に 初めて君が触れて
優しい気持ち 暖かさに やっと気付いたんだ
閉ざした窓開ければ 新しい風が吹いた
furuete iru watashi no te ni hajimete kimi ga furete
yasashii kimochi atataka sa ni yatto kizuitanda
tozashita mado akereba atarashii kaze ga fuita
Having touched my quivering hands for the first time
I've finally became aware of your warmth and gentle feeling
If the tightly shut window were opened, a new wind would blow
見える世界は輝き出した
向日葵揺れる 太陽の下で
感じていた 風を 日々を…
waratte naite kimi to deaete
mieru sekai wa kagayaki dashita
himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
kanjite ita kaze wo hibi wo...
smiling, crying, meeting you by chance
The world I could see was radiant
A sunflower swaying beneath the sun
Having felt the breeze, every day...
信じること迷うことも立ち止まることも全部
私が今ここで生きてる答えかもしれない
モノクロの毎日が色付いて行くように
shinjiru koto mayou koto mo tachidomaru koto mo zenbu
watashi ga ima koko de ikiteru kotae kamoshirenai
monokuro no mainichi ga irozuite iku you ni
Beliefs, hesitation, and standing still, all this
Me, living here now, might be the answer
Just like adding color to monochrome days
笑って 泣いて 君と出会えて
続く未来は輝いていた
向日葵揺れる 太陽の下で
わたしのまま明日を歌うよ...
waratte naite kimi to deaete
tsuzuku mirai wa kagayaite ita
himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
watashi no mama ashita wo utau yo...
Smiling, crying, meeting you by chance
The continuous future has sparkled
A sunflower swaying beneath the sun
as I have been, tomorrow I'll sing...
限りにない日々も
止まらない時間も
どれなけ愛せるかな
愛せるよね
君がいれば二人さえも
逸らさないで...
kagiri ni nai hibi mo
tomaranai jikan mo
dore na ke aiseru kana
aiseru yo ne
kimi ga ireba futari sae mo
sorasanaide...
Days without end
and time that never stops
How much can we love?
We can love, right?
If you are here, only us two...
don't turn away...
笑って 泣いて 君と出会えて
続く未来は輝いていた
向日葵揺れる 太陽の下で
わたしのまま明日を
waratte naite kimi to deaete
tsuzuku mirai wa kagayaite ita
himawari yureru taiyou no shita de
watashi no mama ashita wo
Smiling, crying, meeting you by chance
The continuous had sparkled
A sunflower swaying beneath the sun
As I have been, tomorrow...
ありがとう伝えたい今なら言えるよ
過ごした季節も忘れはしないよ
向日葵揺れるタイヨウのように
私のうた君を照らすよ...
arigatou tsutaetai ima nara ieru yo
sugoshita kisetsu mo wasure wa shinai yo
himawari yureru taiyou no you ni
watashi no uta kimi wo terasu yo...
Right now, I want to tell you "Thank you"
I won't forget seasons that has since past.
A sunflower swaying beneath the sun
My song will shine for you...
私のまま・・・
君を・・・・
君を・・・
watashi no mama...
kimi o....
kimi o....
As I have been...
Thinking of you...
Thinking of you...
I got sick of Korean so here I am, posting about my favourite song of the moment. I haven't even watched G3 yet! It gives me the very jumpy feeling. The lyric is beautiful and the whole song suits the whole Gokusen theme, just as V6's Feel Your Breeze and D51's No More Cries did.
I did a rough translation. It sounds weird but..nvm. I need to sleep already....
It’s all right, if you look up
It's all right; look! The seven-coloured bridge
At last we laugh under the same sky
It’s time to fasten the shoelace
The wind pushes at our back
The sky spilled beyond the light
Let’s continue to sketch that dream
The left side of my chest beats fast
Hope and anxiety strike the pulse
I hope that it’s really all right
I wonder if we can overcome everything
It’s all right, if you look up
It's all right; look! The seven-coloured bridge
Tears fall and hang in the sky
Hey, it can be seen right? At that distant place
It appeared to me too, the one same as you
The two skies now have become one
At last we laugh under the same sky
Separately we’re waiting our sky to be born
The sky that reflects our memory
For you there’s your own story
I have tears you don't know about
Maybe, by some chance, during the time when I laugh
You might have been crying
Similar joys exist. However
Definitely there is no similar sadness
"Promise" borders the future
Words decorate
You certainly want tomorrow [to come]
More than anyone, for sure
The moving seasons' one
The sad moments stay sad
Don't rush into becoming happy
It’s all right, because [I] exist here
It’s all right, [I] won't go anywhere
When I start running again, it will be with you
“In a world without tears,
Will the seven-coloured bridge also be hanging?”
The graffiti carved on the wall
Really resembled someone's handwriting
When the grief is kept away
You built the bridge
However, now as you throw away the umbrella, you ignore it
It’s all right
It’s all right, if you look up
All right; look! The seven-coloured bridge
The tears has stopped falling, in your sky
Hey, it can be seen right? From the brilliant colors
It appeared to me too, the one same as you
The rainbow called "Bond" has been hung
And then, the two skies finally, finally become one
And makes us start to move on
Kanji lyric from gillie
大丈夫だよ 見上げれば もう
大丈夫ほら 七色の橋
やっと同じ空の下で 笑えるね
靴ひもを結びなおすとき 風が僕らの背中を押す
空がこぼした光の向こうに あのユメの続きを描こう
左胸の奥が高鳴る 期待と不安が脈をうつ
本当に大丈夫かな 全て乗り越えてゆけるかな
大丈夫だよ 見上げれば もう
大丈夫ほら 七色の橋
涙を流しきると空に架かる
ねぇ見えるでしょ はるか彼方に
僕にも見える 君と同じの
二つの空が いま一つになる
やっと同じ空の下で 笑えるね
別々の空をもって生まれた 記憶を映し出す空
君には君の物語があり 僕の知らない涙がある
もしかしたら僕が笑う頃に 君は泣いていたのかもしれない
似たような喜びはあるけれど 同じ悲しみはきっとない
「約束」 で未来を縁取り コトバで飾りつけをする
君は確かな明日をきっと 誰より欲しがってた
巡る季節の 一つのように
悲しい時は 悲しいままに
幸せになることを 急がないで
大丈夫だよ ここにいるから
大丈夫だよ どこにも行かない
また走り出すときは 君といっしょ
「涙の無い世界にもその橋は架かりますか？」
壁に刻まれたラクガキは 誰かの字によく似てた
悲しみと遠ざけることで 君は橋を架けようとした
けれど今 傘を捨てて 目をつぶる
だいじょうぶ
大丈夫だよ 見上げればもう
大丈夫ほら 七色の橋
涙を流し終えた 君の空に
ねぇ見えるでしょ 色鮮やかに
僕にも見える 君と同じの
「絆」 という名の虹が架かったね
そして 二つの空がやっと やっと一つになって
僕らを走らせるんだ
I've just finished watching the last second episode of The Seventh Day 最美麗的第七天 starring Kevin Cheng, Niki Chow, Bosco Wong and Natalie Tong. Will take a break and type this out first.
<<< Kevin Cheng as Wing
<<< Niki Chow as Yan
<<< Bosco Wong as Don
<<< Natalie Tong as Sasa
It's a good show and a 'revolutionary' series by TVB, departing for the usual TVB style. It's a mixture with both Kdrama and Jdorama factors and is an echo of the previous hit Under The Canopy of Love 天幕下的戀人, starring the same cast. Why so? Well, there's cancer and there's some filming styles you often see in Jdoramas. Yes, I'm sick of the cancer/accident/memory loss plots so common in Kdramas, but for TSD (lol, yes, it stands for The Seventh Day, not Tensai Shimura Doubutsuen), there's something different.
The cancer plot is the same but the series was able to bring out feelings which kdramas tend to overdo it. I was touched by the lines the characters said, not just those between Wing (Kevin) and Yan (Niki) but also those spoken by Yan's family after they found out about her illness. I was particularly touched in this one scene where Yan's father apologised to her for telling Wing about her illness. That was the first time Yan spoke about why she did want to tell Wing about it; she wanted him to remain happy even after she dies and to be able to live his life happily with someone else. I really felt very touched then and I feel that Niki's acting has improved since UTCOL. There were also lines here and there which warmed up my heart.
Then there is this effect done on the lighting to make it look blurry and dreamy. Some people didn't like it but I'm fine it it, although I felt that it wasn't appropriate in certain scenes ad this effect worked better in UTCOL where the plot was mainly dreamy and romantic, unlike in TSD where half of the series was sad. I especially love the beautiful scenery they had in Japan. Very breathtaking and it made me love the country even more.
Also, they had this fade-out effect as they shifted from the story between Yan and Wing and Don and Sasa. Like above, some people didn't like it but I think it was ok. Maybe I'm too used to such 'exaggerated' styles from long-term over-exposal to Jdoramas. It was nothing compared to Nodame. XP
Of course, the plot isn't that original and the series was not as good as Jdoramas are in setting the right pace and bringing out certain feelings subtly. I felt that more time could have been spent on the relationship development between Yan and Wing...they kind of jumped into a relationship too abruptly. Of course, they would then risk becoming too draggy. A balance must be striked.
I was irritated by Sasa initially. Yes, the scenes between Sasa (Natalie) and Don (Bosco) were funny and they really tickled my bones whenever they Sasa pulled tricks on each other Don. But she got kind of irritating by trying Don really bad just for exaggerated plots for her comic. That is unbelievable. Of course I enjoyed some scenes like the one after she met his family at his home for the first time. Don ended up holding her hand as he sent her home and he thought to himself that even if Sasa wasn't a rich girl, he will still like her. But, when Sasa later discovered that he had started wooing her because he had mistaken her for a rich man's daughter, I find it stupid that she didn't realise that he really likes her because although he had found out about her real family bg, he still stayed with her. Oh well, at least from then on, she became less of a pest and I grew to like her better.
There was this scene where he sent her off at the airport. Their hand accidentally met and then, Don wore this really lovelorn look on his face and embraced her tightly, telling her not to go, although she still left in the end. This is a rather typical scene from a romance series, but I liked the feeling to the scene. The background music helped too because it was soft and created a romantic atmosphere for that scene. For the first time, I was touched by a Sasa X Don scene. I was practically screaming for them to tell each other of their feelings and not try to be smart by predicting that the other party held no feelings for him/herself. Yes, this is the part where I felt was a bit too draggy. There wasn't much of a development. Oh dear, the K effect!
And one more thing worthy of mention. Yan's dog in the series, Jack. OMG. You have to watch him. He is amazing. I will die to have such a pet. He could switch of the lights for Yan when she slept, turn out the tap and fill up the basin for her in the morning and even bark to war her family members when he realised she was in pain in the middle of the night! He even hid himself in shyness when Yan spoke of his liking for a female dog of their neighbour. He's not just a dog, but also a friend and a family member. Yan could ask him for advices and speak to him about her worries and he will response and even tug her to sleep. He's one dog I will always remember from a tv series.
Overall, I'll give the series...4 stars out of 5. ★★★★☆=) Good attempt by TVB on a romance-based series and I hope they will continue trying in this direction. (Stop throwing me all the family feuds where everyone is a bad guy. ENOUGH!) I think it's not fair to compare TSD with Kdramas and Jdoramas. Instead, I compared it to other HK series.
On a side note, I really like all the clothes worn by the four mains in this series. The guys look very cool and the girls very sweet. The black, rider type of clothe Wing often wears in the series is a very different image for Kevin. It gave him this wild, untouchable look in contrast with the sauve look he usually spots.
Lastly, I've translated (very roughly) the theme song from the series, sung by Kevin Cheng. I liked it when I first heard it but it never sticked to me, unlike the theme song from UTCOL which I took to at first hearing. But after watching the first few episodes of the show, I've grew to really like it. It suited the mood of the series and had this sad, melancholy feel to it, while being romantic. It's a light song and the notes seem to be floating. XP It's especially good if you listen to it while watching the opening to each episode. The scenery from Japan, the arrangement of the scenes, the colours (cool tone) of the scenes and the scenes chosen all add to the beauty of the song. To be honest, everytime I hear the song, I feel like dancing (you know, the slow, ballroom type)! Tell me how you feel after listening, k?
在這天這一分鐘遇你 On this day, this minute, I met you.
望向街中的感覺很美 Looking towards the streets, the feeling's very beautiful.
下一秒 未準備 The next second, (I'm) unprepared.
未適應兜兜轉轉像戲 Still not used to running around (after love), like in a show.
越過空間差一些運氣 Lacking a bit of luck to overcome space,
下意識的心想碰到你 Subconsciously, my heart wants to meet you.
剩低我 在這地 Leaving me alone in this place,
離別終捉到珍惜道理 Parting made me finally realise the need to cherish.
＊七天空間交錯 似千次遠離 ＊The seven days meet, as though they've parted for a thousand times.
一天呼吸使我在回味那空氣 Breathing made me reminisce the air back then.
七天終必希冀 記憶再儲起 The seven days eventually bear hope, the memories rush back once again.
心中一生的美是曾遇你 ＊ The beauty of my life is having met you. ＊
在你身邊匆匆的掠過 Rubbing shoulders with you on the streets,
未有開口擔心會出錯 Have never talked about it, worried it'll come out wrong.
未敢愛 再等待 Never dared to love, still waiting.
重疊的空間終雙覓愛 Both of us are searching for love in the overlapping space.
Repeat＊ Repeat ＊
花一生的福氣為重遇你 Both of us are searching for love in the overlapping space.
Here's the YouTube video of the opening. =) It's very beautiful, so do watch it even if you don't watch HK dramas.
[EDIT] Ok, this post ended up much longer than I expected it to be, so a word of sorry to my neighbours. I've decided to add some screencaps from the opening theme (the video above). =)
Pretty scenery
Other caps
I love Bosco's smile in the following cap. It isn't clear, sorry. =) I fell for his character because of that smile of his!
Niki Chow
A very pretty new gen actress. She's the only in her gen, other than Tavia, to win my heart and keep it.
Kevin Cheng
Another hottie with potential. His showbiz history has been tough, but I'm glad he has finally made it through the darkness.
Bosco Wong
The one with a joker face. Not the best looking but I like his humourous nature. One of the TVB 3 musketeers, together with my Raymond and also Ron.
Natalie Tong
Never really paid much attention to her but her performance in TSD was good, showing a range of emotions and expressions. Hope she'll take on more roles!
DDMK
Lol..Shuai ge-es. XD All the three of them (exlcuding Bosco of course) aren't very popular, but, I've seen them around and I'm more than pleased that TVB had put them together in the series. Shuai ge-es galore!!!
One last picture. =)
====================================
Next, I'm considering watching The Master of Taichi 太極 starring my most most most beloved Raymond Lam and Vincent Zhao. I've read the sypnosis and worry that it may end up like Dicey Business where I love the story but I hate to watch it because my beloved characters go through such an emotion rollarcoaster, I feel like crying my heart out for them. =/ I'll see how. Now, it's back to the last episode of TSD!
All pictures from the TVB official website
My number 1 among the TVB new gen actors. My number 1 scenery among all countryside sceneries.
Raymond Lam + field of yellow flowers = LOVE
Vincent Zhao
My number 1 among all martial arts artistes.
Thankies to Lynn for sending me the ending theme for 換換愛 (sung by Rainie Yang)! As promised, I translated the lyric to the song for you! =) While translating, a song from ISWAK started playing on my iDock (haha finally a non-Arashi song!!!) and it felt so beautiful, I decided to translate that as well! I don't have the OST album with me now, so I can't post up the song. sorry!
I'll upload the screencaps for ep 1, 2 and 6 of 換換愛 soon!! XD Had so much fun capping, I have over a hundred of them for these eps! >_<
惡作劇之吻 OST
聽見
你不開心的眼, 彷彿將我推到懸崖邊緣
Your unhappy eyes seem to push me to the edge of a cliff.
距離就算在靠近眼前，我們一樣沒焦點
Even if it is before our eyes, we still can't focus on it.
沒有你的世界，就像寒冬沒有春天依偎
A world without you is just like winter without the anticipation of spring.
少了你陪在身邊，我的四季只剩下冬天
Without you accompanying by my side, my four seasons are only left with winter.
悲傷喜悅回憶不斷重演，靜下來的世界
Sorrowful and happy memories keep repeating themselves. The world calms down.
有我的思念，也有你的空虛無邊
There is my longing (for you), and the vast emptiness you've left behind.
你有沒有聽見，寂寞的聲音悄悄在蔓延
Do you hear it - the sound of loneliness quietly spreading.
他住進我們之間，消耗著我和你的永遠
It dwells between us, wasting away our "forever".
你有沒有聽見，思念的呼喚傳遍每條街
Do you hear it - the call of (my) yearning ringing across every street.
就算你走的再遠，累了回頭我就在你的身邊
No matter how far you run, when you feel tired and look back, I will be right by your side.
換換愛 OST
缺氧
春天慢慢一點點發芽
Slowly, spring starts to sprout.
快樂開始都有了想象
I'm even starting to fantasise about happiness.
城市光合作用的模樣
The sight of sunlight hitting onto the city (Lit. The sight of photosynthesis in the city)
幸福開始組裝
Happiness starts to assemble itself.
夜裏滿園的茉莉花香
The scent of jamine fills up the grounds at night.
月光灑落看不見憂傷
The moonlight is crisp. You can't (my) sorrows.
旋轉木馬前那個廣場
That courtyard in front of the merry-go-round,
愛情開始滋長
Love starts to grow.
想你有時會缺氧
Thinking of you sometimes makes my breathless.
嘴角不自覺上揚
The corners of my mouth lifts upwards unknowingly.
這是不是幸福的現象
Is this a sign of blissfulness?
胸口微微的發燙
My chest feel slightly feverish.
想你有時會缺氧
Thinking of you sometimes makes my breathless.
臉紅呼吸不正常
My face reddens, my breathing becomes erratic.
這是不是幸福的症狀
Is this a symptom of blissfulness?
不知不覺又缺氧
(I've became) breathless again unknowingly.
夜裏滿園的茉莉花香
The scent of jamine fills up the grounds at night.
月光灑落看不見憂傷
The moonlight is crisp. You can't (my) sorrows.
旋轉木馬前那個廣場 That courtyard in front of the merry-go-round, 愛情開始滋長 Love starts to grow.
想你有時會缺氧
Thinking of you sometimes makes my breathless.
嘴角不自覺上揚
The corners of my mouth lifts upwards unknowingly.
這是不是幸福的症狀
Is this a symptom of blissfulness?
不知不覺又缺氧
(I've became) breathless again unknowingly.
無法移動的夢想
Dreams which cannot be wavered -
就算沒有人鼓掌，我也不會受傷
even if no one claps (for me), I won't be hurt.
不會稀釋的信仰
Beliefs which won't diminish.
心穿越磚墻 在你身旁
My heart breaks through the tiled wall to be by your side.
想你有時會缺氧
Thinking of you sometimes makes my breathless.
嘴角不自覺上揚
The corners of my mouth lifts upwards unknowingly.
這是不是幸福的現象
Is this a sign of blissfulness?
胸口微微的發燙
My chest feel slightly feverish.
不知不覺又缺氧
(I've became) breathless again unknowingly.
I translated the song I posted in the post below *winks at Huxley* I'll post the song up in this post for convenience sake.
Please do not take it out of my vox
我一直都在
I'm always here
遥望着 你背影
有孤单 太苍白
我多么想陪着你
走过人山人海
Looking at your backview,
there's loneliness. It's too pale.
I really wish to accompany you
walk through the crowds.
*当天空变灰白
你的忧伤澎湃
我多么想走进你
紧锁的心海*
*When the skies turn into (shades of) grey and white,
your sorrows amplify.
I really wish to enter your
tightly-locked heart.*
**我一直都在
你身后等待
等你有一天 回过头看我
我的笑 送给你 希望你快乐
你的难过都给我
关于你的一切 我都好好收藏着
**I'm always here
waiting behind you.
Waiting for the day you'll turn back and look at me.
My laughs - I give them to you. Hope you'll be happy.
Give me all your sorrows.
I'm keeping everything that has to do with you carefully.
我一直都在
你身后等待
等你有一天 能感觉到我
就算我再你世界渺小像一颗尘埃
我也会给你我所有的光和热**
I'm always here
waiting behind you.
Waiting for the day you feel my presence.
Even if I'm as insignificant as a grain of dust to you,
I will still give you all of my light and warmth.** (Hmm I re-translated this abit, because my previous translation's not very accurate.)
Repeat *
Repeat *
Repeat **
Repeat **
我鼓起勇气呐喊
你要听的见
我不许你再孤单
要你拥抱 我给的温暖
I muster up my courage and shout.
You have to be able to hear it.
I disallow you to be lonely again.
I want you to embrace the warmth I give to you.
Repeat **
Repeat **
=======================================================
Aniwaes I was watching CNA when I heard this short snippet of news about Rain. Seems like his concert in LA was cancelled last min..like just minutes before it was due to start. I think many fans flew in from all over just to watch him live..and it's really disappointing!
I can't remember exactly what was reported in CNA, but I went to check it up and seems like everyone is blaming everyone else. =X I can feel the disappointment...just imagine you getting an Arashi tix, taking leave, booking accommodation, and then flying half the globe to the venue for the concert...and then, it gets cancelled, like really last minute. Hope everything will be resolved ne!
Short reports, take everything with a bucket of salt (tabloids): news link 1 news link 2 news link 3
