¡Sarah!

I always forget how much I like Sakamoto Maaya (whom some of you might know as the voice of Hitomi in Tenkuu no Escaflowne) unless I am listening to her music, despite the fact that if I were to one day make a list of my favourite songs ever, her "Mameshiba" would definitely have to be on there. :D (And I still think the lyrics she wrote for "Alkaloid" are like the best lyrics I've ever heard in my life.) So when I was thinking about what song I should attempt a terrible translation of next, I was thinking about what CDs I have that have nothing to do with Hello! Project, and I realized it's been a good while since I last listened to a Maaya CD. I think perhaps I will make an attempt at "Mameshiba" or "Alkaloid" at a time in the future when I feel I might do them justice, haha. XD For now we will have to settle for a song I don't hold in such high esteem, although I still do like it quite a bit. ^_^

athena_crikey may remember my terrible attempts to translate this song while in early high school, hahaha. XD I am happy to report that this time I found it a ton easier. Although what sucked was that as I was typing the Japanese lyrics out, I was thinking, "Wow, this'll be easy to translate, I think I still know it pretty well and there aren't any really difficult parts." Then I actually started to think about how to turn it into English, and I thought, "GOSH, I'm going to need a lot of subordinate clauses!" XD XD XD XD;;; Haha, it was a crazy realization, you have no idea. XD

And one last note here - this is like the fastest complete translation I've ever done, ever. Usually they take me DAYS. I do a bunch and then I hit a problem spot and then I let myself get distracted and forget I was working on anything and usually I never even finish them, either. XD; This took me just barely three hours. I TOLD you guys I get crazy productive after midnight!! XD XD XD

(And I even like this translation better than that last one! XD; )
