I’ll be visiting the <a href="http://www.mit.edu/" target="_blank">Massachusetts Institute of Technology</a> for the first time in my life; during my stay there, I won’t have computer/internet access of any kind.<br />I will return back on 2006.10.2. Any updates to this blog will be then deferred to next week. Among planned next week’s updates: I’ll post another Figure 17 song’s lyrics (in both Kanji-Kana and English-translation). So, see ya till October!…</span><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/34542892-115935603423251606?l=unicodemaster787.blogspot.com'/></div>UnicodeMaster787http://www.blogger.com/profile/15287989741232620652noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34542892.post-1158848360414573882006-09-21T10:10:00.000-04:002006-09-27T19:58:19.106-04:00<span style="font-family:Tahoma,MS UI Gothic,MS PGothic; font-size:125%;"><ruby>作詞<rp>(</rp><rt>さくし</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>・<ruby>作曲<rp>(</rp><rt>さっきょく</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>：<b><ruby>高見沢<rp>(</rp><rt>たかみざわ</rt><rp>)</rp>俊彦<rp>(</rp><rt>としひこ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby></b><br />Lyrics &amp; Composition by <b>Toshihiko Takamizawa</b><br /><ruby>編曲<rp>(</rp><rt>へんきょく</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>・<ruby>歌<rp>(</rp><rt>うた</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>：<b>ＴＨＥ　ＡＬＦＥＥ</b><br />Arranged &amp; Performed by <b>THE ALFEE</b><br /><hr><br /><ruby>虹<rp>(</rp><rt>にじ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>を<ruby>掴<rp>(</rp><rt>つか</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>む<ruby>夢<rp>(</rp><rt>ゆめ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>を<ruby>見<rp>(</rp><rt>み</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>れば<ruby>空<rp>(</rp><rt>そら</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>も<ruby>飛<rp>(</rp><rt>と</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>べた<br />If you dream that you can touch a rainbow, you can fly.<br />あの<ruby>頃<rp>(</rp><rt>ころ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>の<ruby>情熱<rp>(</rp><rt>じょうねつ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>を<ruby>覚<rp>(</rp><rt>おぼ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>えているかい？<br />Do you remember the passion you had?<br /><ruby>叶<rp>(</rp><rt>かな</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>えたいと<ruby>瞳<rp>(</rp><rt>ひとみ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><ruby>閉<rp>(</rp><rt>と</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>じれば<ruby>★<rp>(</rp><rt>ほし</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>も<ruby>盗<rp>(</rp><rt>ぬす</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>めた<br />If you closed your eyes and made a wish, you could steal the stars.<br /><br />そこを<ruby>越<rp>(</rp><rt>こ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>えろすべてを<ruby>捨<rp>(</rp><rt>す</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>てろ<ruby>昨日<rp>(</rp><rt>きのう</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>を<ruby>忘<rp>(</rp><rt>わす</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>れろ！<br />Forget everything beyond that, forget about yesterday!<br /><ruby>君<rp>(</rp><rt>きみ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>だけの<ruby>孤独<rp>(</rp><rt>こどく</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>に<ruby>今<rp>(</rp><rt>いま</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>ケリをつけろ！<br />Think about your loneliness!<br /><ruby>誰<rp>(</rp><rt>だれ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>のための<ruby>自<rp>(</rp><rt>じ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby><ruby>分<rp>(</rp><rt>ぶん</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>なのか<ruby>影<rp>(</rp><rt>かげ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>を<ruby>振<rp>(</rp><rt>ふ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>り<ruby>切<rp>(</rp><rt>き</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>れ！<br />Get over the wall of who you really are!<br /><br /><ruby>Ｂｏｙ<rp>(</rp><rt>ボーイ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>！　<ruby>流<rp>(</rp><rt>なが</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>れる<ruby>涙<rp>(</rp><rt>なみだ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>に<ruby>過去<rp>(</rp><rt>かこ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>が<ruby>零<rp>(</rp><rt>こぼ</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>れ<ruby>落<rp>(</rp><rt>お</rt><rp>)</rp></ruby>ちてゆく<br />Boy!
