Hontou no Jibun - Your True Self

(Originally posted on Friday, 21 March 2008)

Something genki* for all of us...

Hontou no Jibun - Your True Self Vocals: Buono! Lyrics: Iwasato Yuho Composition: Kinoshita Yoshiyuki Arrangement: Nishkawa Susumu I'll live life to the fullest, even if I’m covered in rocks Loudly I’ll say, do your best! Do your best! (Do your best!) Our lives won’t cease So let’s sing an endless song   Push forward on our road Even if we’re ridiculous characters, it’s okay Even if you’re good-for-nothing, I love you, my darling   Idiot! Your true self Say what you want to say You’re being pushed out and drawing close to your dream You idiot! Your true self Come out, don’t be hiding; OH YEAH, right now   Bad days do happen for the timid me But with that, I understand her feelings (I understand) Although me, who is trying to look cool is helplessly attracted That’s why I can do my best again, undefeated   There are downpours and there are sunny days Don’t mind the tiny things I want to kiss you for the sake of the great tomorrow   Idiot! Your true self Do what you want to do You’re jumping out and jumping over to your dream You idiot! Your true self It’s all right, don’t be afraid; OH YEAH, right now   Something will start from the place without anything You want to hug me, right? You want to dash out, right? To your dream   Idiot! Your true self Say what you want to say You’re being pushed out and drawing close to your dream You idiot! Your true self Come out, don’t be hiding; OH YEAH, right now

dj ubill would like to dedicate this song to a friend - and also to himself ... (and don't we all need that, 1nce in a while? Heck, myself, I'd want that all the time.)

 

The original lyrics and translation from atashi.wordpress.com :) - very good translation I must say. However there are certain parts that I interpreted differently, and thus changed accordingly.
Kanji however is typed out by me :3 as is Today's Lesson by (actually, for) me :D

 

Not forgetting a special mention here - that this video was introduced by a friend - who I'd not identify publicly here, since he had hinted before that he'd like to preserve his virginal image ... All the same, much appreciated, special thanks goes out to him. ohoho...
