Anime Tenchou

Suddenly, i find myself in this weird craze over this series anime tenchou. Too bad the info i can find is at best scarce. But, luck or something had me find this MP3 request board, and after a few hrs, the request was fulfilled. Thanks to kuuki, the ending song of that series, Dancin' for Your Number is in my collection. Best of all, i found the OP song, Aoi Kodoku by accident on Greedland. Searching for info on that song unearthed many little surprises.

I enjoyed the song thoroughly, but most surprisingly, the anime tenchou series is a self-advertising kinda series, like how "Howard and Kumar visit White Castle" is a self-advertising film. Really filled with inside jokes about the seiyuus themselves and about the animate store franchise, I think its kinda fun, especially since it features the top 8 male seiyuus of my list: Koyasu Takehito (Kuroyanagi Ryou - Yakitate!! Japan), Seki Tomokazu(Sagara Sousuke - Full Metal Panic), Miki Shinichiro (Fujiwara Takumi - Initial D), Ishida Akira (Cho-Hakkai - Saiyuki), Seki Toshihiko (Genzo Sanjo - Saiyuki), Hirata Hiroaki (Sha Gojyo - Saiyuki), Hoshi Souichiro (Son Goku - Saiyuki) and Yuuki Hiro (Michael - Witch Hunter Robin).

Coincidentally, 4 of them are also the main characters of Weiss Kreuz, while the other 4 are from Saiyuki. So these 4 are really representative seiyuus of the anime industry in japan, with the fact that at least seki tomokazu, koyasu takehito, ishida akira and seki toshihiko are singers, seiyuus, and have starred in many major animation works. They sang Double Dear, for which the lyrics i have posted on this blog before.

Now, finally i found the wonderful aoi kodoku (Blue/Pale Loneliness). The sad part of it is, i havent found any translated lyrics for it, and with my meagre knowledge of jap, i have attempted to translate it, but could only really do less than half of it.

So what ever, i will still post it, since its a nice song i want to share. And i like the rather sinister opening lines about 'your unfortunate birthday'. Reminds me of my own 21st.

君の不幸な誕生日な祝いに来たよ
//I have come to greet you on your unfortunate birthday
     僕のいない   愛のいない
//My emptiness, Love’s emptiness
     蒼いバースディ   キャンドルは冷めて
The blue birthday, The candle is cold
     君は僕の名を呼ぶだろう
//You call out my name
     狂おしく   愛しく   切なく。。。夜に抱かれるように
//Madness, love, this instant, The night seems to embrace them all.
     僕の名を呼ぶだろう。。。 今夜
//Call my name... Tonight
 
     God Bless   忌憚なく
//God Bless, Fear not
     Listen   自由でいい   祈れよ
//Listen, Freedom is good, pray
     Inside     胸のなか
//Inside my chest
     もう   痛みなど   ないのさ
//Even pain, is not here.
 
     青く群れる   愛の誘惑が   しがみつく
//The young crowd, Love’s temptation,      
     身動きできないほどの   俺を撃つ視線でも
//The body does not move, only the sharp gaze from my eyes
     Kiss You   Kill You
//Kiss You Kill You
     もう   さよならさ
//Now, Goodbye
 
     ああ淫ら   乱れるほど

//Ah, Lust, chaos,
     ああすべて   罠になるよ

//Ah, all of it becomes a cycle
     ああ二人   蜜に濡れて

//Ah, a couple drowning in honey
     ああ燃える     灰になるまで

// Ah, burn, and become ashes
     Just Can't Wait For Love
 
     Wonder   誰一人
//Wonder who is alone
     No One     俺を待つ女【ひと】など
     Look Out     いないだろう
     そう   長すぎる   不在さ
 
     青く揺れる   愛の魂を   振りほどけ
     覚醒していく様子【さま】を   沈む瞳【め】に映すがいい
     Kiss You   Kill You
     そう   さよならさ
 
     ああ肌が   忘れぬよう
     ああせめて   抱いてやろう
     ああ二人   月に濡れて
     ああ消える   闇になるのさ
     Get Down In Your Love
 
     もう聴こえない
     女神の歌声さえも
 
     ああ淫ら   乱れるほど
     ああすべて   罠になるよ
     ああ二人   蜜に濡れて
     ああ燃える     灰になるまで
     Just Can't Wait For Love 

Just can't wait for Love indeed... Well, hopefully love finds me soon in this seemingly loveless world. The world, is full of noise, and devoid of music...
