The needles of the clock that keep spinning mark the moments
The sound of a heart that started to move is echoing
Hide those days in the corner of memories from when you were young
Like dreams that you lose as they pass by

For Someone’s Smile that Exists Ahead of There
Vocals: Ayane
Lyrics: Shikura Chiyomaru
Composition: Shikura Chiyomaru
Arrangement: Ono Koji
There are lots of meanings in the color of tears that you don’t show to anyone
The sky that I almost gave up changed its color at that place, in those days
What the busy scenery reflects with loneliness is the fickle wind of anxiety
But there’s the sound of life with trees sprouting; the summer is unending—
UPDATE: Looks like Vocaloid is the winner this time. Thanks to all who have voted! The poll will remain open and the ranking of the non-winning choices will determine the contents of my next cosplay poll, to come with the Summer 2009 anime season. The lowest ranking choices will be reckoned off.
The write-in results are hilarious. I’ve gotten people’s votes for Chi’s Sweet Home (XDD), Haruhi (oh God, don’t you know I’ve sworn off Haruhi until second season finally airs?), Umineko (a little too early for that), etc.
Besides the Vocaloid group cosplay, I’ll probably be inexplicably drawn into the new Fullmetal Alchemist series and end up cosplaying Ed or someone else equally short. I’m also planning on doing some nostalgia cosplay at some point this summer, like Ichijoji Ken from Digimon Adventure 02, because Ken-chan was my first anime waifu/hasbando and the one who made me pick up chopsticks again.

I first attempted to translate this song soon after Kingdom Hearts II came out, and it was too difficult for me then. I recently heard the song and decided to take a stab at the lyrics again, and this time they turned out to be surprisingly easy.

For That Day, For That Place, “Thank You” To Everything
Vocals: Hoshi Soichiro as Maebara Keiichi
I’ll sear everything in the world reflected in your eyes
Into my eyes and live on

When I seem to be swept away
Because thoughts from that day take my hand
And protect me with great care

Even if you embraced me to the limit of suffering
We’d never be able to become one
And at a place deeper than kindness
Touching each other is only pain
Please tie us together
We won’t dream anymore
While you hesitate, I take your hand
And start walking
In the direction of the cruel daybreak

Even when I lost sight of my dreams

On a lonely night, I closed my eyes and dreamed of that time
When I’d realized it, I was always protected by you so nearby
Hey, I want you to call my name today like in the past
Look, in an instant, my heart and time melt away

Far, far away, there’s a swaying sea of rice grains
Raise the sails, raise the sails, and go to the memories that we aimed for
Do we still remember all of the sad things up to today, or have we forgotten them?
