J-Rock Sunday: C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h. by ONE OK ROCK
10:03 PMOhai!
Doing a quick post before sleeping. I actually missed writing this kind of entry. It's been quite a while, huh...
It seems I can't get enough of ONE OK ROCK, I've been playing almost all of their full albums (while doing house chores, tee-hee) for two days straight now. Argh! But what can I do? I've been held captive by their awesome music, their impressive Japanese-English songs. And honestly, I'm beginning to like Taka-san, he's so cute! Ohoho~ たかーさんかっこいいです!
とにかく... C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h (it's kinda tiring to write) is the fifth track from the band's latest album, Zankyo Reference. This is probably the second song I like most from ONE OK ROCK, the first being Wherever You Are. I really love it! From the instrumentation -- the guitar riffs, basslines, drum patterns; down to the lyrics, very meaningful. And not to mention Taka-san's voice and clear English pronunciation, now that completes the package! I love how he sings: "Dream as if you will live forever, and live as if you'll die today..." These lyrics, nothing could be closer to the truth. Though the meaning of the title itself still is a puzzle to me.
"C.h.a.o.s.m.y.t.h."

KANJI:
相変わらずあの頃に話した
夢を僕は追い続けてるよ
もう今年から忙しくなるような?
でも変わらずこの場所はあるから
So everybody ever be buddies
Days we grew up are days we will treasure
Show everybody show is beginning curtain has risen
Make your own story line
Dream as if you will live forever
And live as if you’ll die today
ふざけ合い たわいもない
くだらない話をしては
泣き笑い なぐさめ合い
So終わらない歌 今歌うよ
Dream as if you will live forever
And live as if you’ll die today
悪さやバカもしたね よく怒られたね
ただ楽しくて そんな日々がずっと続くと思ってた
けど気付けば大人になってって
それと共に夢もでかくなっていって
それぞれが選んだ道へ
We have to carry on
Our lives are going on
でも変わらずあの場所はあるから
So everybody ever be buddies

泣き笑い なぐさめ合い
So終わらない歌 今歌うよ
Dream as if you will live forever
And live as if you’ll die today
We all, we all
Have unforgettable and precious treasure
It lasts forever
It lasts forever
時が経ち老いていっても
かけがえのない宝物は
目に見えぬ 形じゃない大切なメモリー
これから先もずっと 一生ずっと…
So everybody ever be buddies
Days we grew up are days we will treasure
Show everybody show is beginning curtain has risen

ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
That conversation we used to do still not change
I still keep chasing that dream
Will this year be busier?
But still this place won’t change
So everybody ever be buddies
Days we grew up are days we will treasure
Show everybody show is beginning curtain has risen
Make your own story line
Dream as if you will live forever
And live as if you’ll die today
This foolish and fun encounter
Talking nonsense conversation
Having a comfort meet up share laugh and cry
So I’m singing this endless song
Dream as if you will live forever
And live as if you’ll die today
We often get scold because our mischief and dumbness
And we think those fun days will last forever
But then we realize we grow up
And our dreams is getting bigger
So we have to choose our own path
We have to carry on
Our lives are going on
But still that place won’t change
So everybody ever be buddies
Days we grew up are days we will treasure
Show everybody show is beginning curtain has risen
Make your own story line
Dream as if you will live forever
And live as if you’ll die today
This foolish and fun encounter
Talking nonsense conversation
Having a comfort meet up share laugh and cry
So I’m singing this endless song
Dream as if you will live forever
And live as if you’ll die today
We all, we all
Have unforgettable and precious treasure
It lasts forever
It lasts forever
Even if the time passes by
The irreplaceable treasure are
Not the form that we see but the valuable memory
From now on for the rest of our lives
So everybody ever be buddies
Days we grew up are days we will treasure
Show everybody show is beginning curtain has risen
Make your own story line
Dream as if you will live forever
And live as if you’ll die today
This foolish and fun encounter
Talking nonsense conversation
Having a comfort meet up share laugh and cry
So I’m singing this endless song
Dream as if you will live forever
And live as if you’ll die today
