English translation:
At this wall that forbids time to flow back
A lightning flashed through my heart
Those days I’m used to, they’re still engrossed in my body
Un~ frozen
An amazing balance that gradually leaves
A mask that shows
Cannot hide my actions
No no no~
Unable to tell anyone
A secretive past
The both of us in a tight embrace
Coming right back to you
(those words are repeating, hiding the scars on the wings)
Right back to you
If only I were an angel
Right back to you
(chasing after love, to survive the cold nights)
Right back to you
Only one person, you, shall I believe in
Drowning badly in this prove of my non-existence
Enjoying this easy game of one-man-show
Don’t mind it (right about time)
In the letter
Unsure of where it landed
The key to the memory belonging to us
(I will recall)
Coming right back to you
(those words are repeating, hiding the scars on the wings)
Right back to you
If only I were an angel
Right back to you
(chasing after love, to survive the cold nights)
Right back to you
Only one person, you, shall I believe in
The four seasons starts to bounce again, baby
Freaky, freaky, freaky night, dance baby
When we touch, the temperature of our palms rise, mayday
From the lightened oceans, thanks baby
Tomorrow night shall still be clutched
But understand that we must run when there’s a chance
Leading the crowd, unbolt the galaxy
I’m coming right back to you
Coming right back to you
(those words are repeating, hiding the scars on the wings)
Right back to you
If only I were an angel
Right back to you
(chasing after love, to survive the cold nights)
Right back to you
Only one person, you, shall I believe in
Right back to you
(chasing after love, to survive the cold nights)
Right back to you
Only one person, you, shall I believe in
About the song: I, like many other fans, found Arashi through MatsuJun's jdorama work. He played Domyouji Tsukasa in Hana Yori Dango, which is one of my favorite shows. The band calls this 'Jun-bait' ^_^ When I first started listening to the group, I looked for videos of them. This was one of the first videos I found and I got hooked instantly. Even now, I don't even bother to read the translation for it. I simply let myself get taken away with the feeling of the song. Though I will admit that I immediately associate the song with the dance they did in the Iza, Now! concert. (This is the video that is linked above.) In my opinion, this is the type of song that really defines Arashi as a group. It's 'pop' enough to keep their fanbase happy, still has their typical rap in the middle and is very danceable. I could listen to it on repeat for hours without getting tired of it.
I have been lacking in the music department lately. I apologize. Hopefully, a little boy band music will make you feel better.
