This isn't my favorite song... but I like it nonetheless. I keep getting the impression that someone I should know, but I don't is singing this... and considering I have all 101 episodes of Slam Dunk on VCD... I should know everyone that appears in the anime... maybe I should go read the manga... oh well. You already know, text in this color are the actual Japanese lyrics, and text in this color are the English translations.
Awakening
From an intense dream
To the strongly sunlit morning
Oki ni iri no kyoku
Kiki nagara
Araitate no SHATSU ude wo toosu
While listening
To my favorite tune
I toss the shirt I'm washing over my arm
Yuube no aitsu
Tsukareta koe datta
"Shigeki ga hoshii" "Ima wa kowashitai"
Ochiburanaide
A guy last night
Said in a tired voice
"I want some excitement" "I want to break up now"
Please don't be down
Kirameku toki ni toraware
Muchuu de itai
Koukai suru suteki ja nai
Hitori ja nai shi Woah!
Caught by the glittering moment
I want to be enthralled
Repenting isn't wonderful
But after all you're not alone. Woah!
Afuredasu namida ga
Utsukushi karaba
Hito wa mata owaranu tabi ni
Toki wo tsuiyaseru kara
The tears starting to overflow
Are beautiful
People will, once again, be able to spend time
On an unending journey
Kyou wa sukoshi dake
Toomawari shite
Eki made mo arukou Woah!
Today, let's take
Just a little detour
And walk to the station. Woah!
Minarenai keshiki ga
Ureshikute
Kado no furugiya e futo haitte miru
Delighting in
The unfamiliar scenery
On a whim, we entered the corner thrift shop for a look
Itsumo to chigau
Kakudo de tatami wo
Nozoite miru kitto soko ni
Atarashii nanika ga...
Something's different than usual...
Looking across the tatami mat
At an angle, there's definitely
Something new over there...
Kirameku toki ni toraware
Muchuu de itai
Koukai suru suteki ja nai
Hitori ja nai shi Woah!
Caught by the glittering moment
I want to be enthralled
Repenting isn't wonderful
But after all you're not alone. Woah!
Afuredasu namida ga
Utsukushi karaba
Hito wa mata owaranu tabi ni
Toki wo tsuiyaseru kara
The tears starting to overflow
Are beautiful
People will, once again, be able to spend time
On an unending journey
Kirameku toki ni toraware
Muchuu de itai
Koukai suru suteki ja nai
Hitori ja nai shi Woah!
Caught by the glittering moment
I want to be enthralled
Repenting isn't wonderful
But after all you're not alone. Woah!
Afuredasu namida ga
Utsukushi karaba
Hito wa mata owaranu tabi ni
Toki wo tsuiyaseru kara
The tears starting to overflow
Are beautiful
People will, once again, be able to spend time
On an unending journey
