"Kanashimi no SONATA"

(The Sonata of Sadness)

 by. Hugo Julliard (Hosoya Yoshimasa)

Kanashimi ga honno sukoshi dake hitomi ni utsutteru

Kanashimi ga honno sukoshi dake...

Taisetsu na koto wa subete kanashimi ga oshiete kureta

Jibun wo tsuyoku motte fukaku hito to kakawaranai you ni

Rikai dekinai keredo tada kimi wo

Mitsukeru koto wa dekiru darou

Ore wa mamoreru ka? Itsumo kono ude ni yorisou kimi wo

Ore wa mamoreru ka?

Kimi no miryoku mo kimi no aijou mo kimi no yume mo

Dakedo ore wa kimi wo kantan ni wa shinjitari dekinai

Uragirareru koto ore wa mada ukeirerarenakute sagashiteru

Ore wa mamoreru ka? Kibou ni afureru kimi no hitomi wo 

Ore wa mamoreru ka?

Hana wa mugon de sotto tsuyoku saiteru

Kanashimi ni yurenagara tsuyoku saiteiru

Kimi no miryoku mo kimi no aijou mo kimi no yume mo

Sore wo shinjiru tame ni soshite kimi wo mamoru tame ni

Ore wa tada tsuyoku aritai

Kanashimi ga honno sukoshi dake hitomi ni utsutteru

Kanashimi ga honno sukoshi dake...

"Anata no FANTASIA"

(Your Fantasia)

by. Fransisco Lewes Astorga (Shinnosuke Tachibana) 

Anata ga shinpai desu itsumo anata ga

Soshite watashi wa anata wo mamorimashou

Watashi wo shinjite anata wo shinjimashou

Soshite watashi wa anata wo mamorimashou

Kore wa anata ni okuru FANTAJIA

Translation note: 

• I noted the katakana spelling (supposed to be French words) in capital letters, while the ones already written in romanized form as the opposite.
• Sonata, Rondo, Swing, Coda, and Fantasia are musical terms. You can read their description in the links available in my tumblr review.
• "Kanashimi no Sonata" & "Kanpeki na Rondo" were romanized on May 15th, 2013. 
• "Anata no Fantasia" was romanized on May 16th, 2013.
• The Tohou brothers songs were romanized on May 17th, 2013.
• Edited July 19th, 2014 for G.O.'s song: I mistakenly transliterated one repeated line as NOFURESU OFURIJYUU, when it's supposed to be NOBURESU OBURIIJYU which is a katakana sound for NOBLESSE OBLIGE. Can't believe it took me more than a year to realize *sigh*. Pardon for that...

PERSONAL THOUGHTS


These songs were performed in the Kanadegumi debut musical on November 2012, performed by the live casts. The version performed by the Anime Voice cast were released in April due to fan request. You can read my full initial review of these songs HERE.
After I finished romanizing, I realized that I need to add some additional comments to complete my review:

• The three foreigner songs are the easiest (although using the word 'easy' regarding transliteration is totally an understatement, cause it does NOT mean 'that easy' as you think) to work with, because they used familiar kanji and the lyrics tend to be repetitive.
• Hugo was singing about how he don't want to share about his sadness... asking 'are you going to protect me?'
• G.O.'s song looked difficult, but it turns out that his lyrics was fun to romanize. His song is one of the hardest to perform with its fast-speaking tempo though.
• Lewes' song lyrics creeped me out... with the way he said 'Believe in me'. Indeed it's an uplifting and caring song, explaining to have faith in yourself... but I really don't like it when people said that sentence (Believe me) because those people are usually the one you shouldn't trust since they always have hidden ulterior motives afterwards.
• The Tohou brothers lyrics are as annoying as the songs themselves. Especially with that dialogue part, using classic Japanese style dialogue that made me spent extra time to understand the kanjis. Oh, and I'm not too fond of hearing both songs over and over again, hence the reason why they finished last.

And yeah, I haven't had time to do the English translation as well. So, if anyone (especially those with better Japanese skill than a self-learner such as me) would like to provide me with those, I'd be very delighted to accept it (just post it via comment below). Feel free to use these lyric to your likings, but again, I'd really appreciate it if you would credit my name as the romaji transliterator, since I did spent a good amount of time to do this... by reading the official booklet on my copy. Hope they are useful for you, who is reading this...

Thanks for reading...
