    It's not bad having a "muse"... A muse gets you inspired. Sticking to one muse however, becomes unprofessional. And so far AkiP has made it for almost 2 decades as aflowing source of lyrics. I believe that he will not screw it now (especially when our girls are concerned).

    so true but tbf he doesn’t speak publicly much about his idol groups or just sakamichi right? just a bit curious because i was thinking about future releases. hope he won’t stop putting in the same amount of energy as before lyrics and song quality wise.

    the girls were amazing today both at kohaku and cdtv. runrun absolutely killed it today too. love love the new costume.

    It was Aki-p who came up with Kami7 for AKB then fukujin (Deites of Good Luck) for Nogi. Around 4th single for Nogi he suggested hachi fukujin (8 deites of good luck) to differ from rival's Kami7.

    Who would come up with Sakura8 system if not the man himself who formed Keyakizaka with a concept around a fixed center. And it was fast that Saku got Sakurazaka no uta in addition to first single which was a surprise song at debut countdown live (much likely it will be put in 2nd single).

    I wouldn't put it behind that Aki-p is not involved and it won't be surprising if the rebrand was a suggestion from Aki-p so he could change senbatsu system again in a new way. Three centres system sounds something Aki-p would come up with.

    Song quality wise he hasn't abandoned this group cause of not being vocal about the group. He doesn't talk that much about his idol groups, he works behind the scenes and if the media get a opportunity they interview him. Only ones Aki-p meet very often is higher-up executives regarded Sakamichi.

    Sakurazaka no uta sounds way better than W-Keyakizaka no uta in my opinion. Drums are more clear in Sakurazaka no uta than in W-Keya which has a layer of pop arrangement which takes over the drums too much. W-Keya is young and innocent while Saku no uta is mature and experienced. That is a evidence to me Aki-p still put energy into the songs.

    Now I've made softsubs for Naze Koi as well. You can find them from the "Sakurazaka lyrics" link in my sig.

    I think Karin does great in this MV, so graceful and interesting in her movements, and her expressions express the song so well. I'm sure she worked closely with Takahiro.

    The lyrics express the protagonist's joy at having her first boyfriend and being in love for the first time. She says she always used to make fun of lovers, but now she realizes how great being in love is. On the other hand, Karin-chan said at the CDTV live that she was coming to have a different interpretation of the song, that it was not just about love.

    That's all she said, but an otaku commentator has given his interpretation of a possible different emphasis for the song. He says it is not as much about love as about getting out of a past wrong mindset, the one in which the protagonist made fun of lovers. Now she doesn't care if people make fun of her, she has her own satisfaction.

    He compares this to leaving the word of the silent majority, the dog with no bark (Garasu wo Ware), or the white sheep (Kuroi Hitsugi). He also notes that Keyaki songs often used the gender-neutral (but basically masculine) informal pronoun boku, whereas this song uses the more adult gender-neutral (but basically masculine) formal pronoun watashi. This change was pointed out by Mii-chan in her blog.

    This song is not just observing and criticizing, but urging people to "take part in happiness." In the strings scene, first the crowd is controlling Karin-chan, then Karin-chan begins to control the crowd, and pull them down. From there her energy helps them to rise up and join her in joy.

    The writer says how wonderful the choreography and performance are when Karin steps out in front of the crowd, as watashi. In his opinion, this is the end of the boku world of being powerless and separate from the whole, and the beginning of the adult watashi world, in which the protagonist is part of the world, leading it to happiness. He says Karin-chan's expressiveness is full of the power of life when she runs around the circle. Her energy causes everyone to stand up, and Karin-chan slides into the midst of them.

    The moment I like best is when the circle has stood up and danced among the flowers, and Karin-chan strides forward through them, toward us. The grace, boldness and joy in her face and body are wonderful.

    The new point of view makes sense to me, but it does not negate what to me is the main power of the song: the joy of love.

    EDIT: I've added a text file of the English-Japanese-Romaji for reference. Very little punctuation, just exported from the sub file. The English translation condenses some things so the sub will work on-screen.

    ENGLISH
    Feeling happy, skipping along, laughing as I remembered
    I had my first boyfriend! I was floating, my mind was gone

    When people put me down, I don’t mind
    I just smile
    Happiness makes no enemies

    Why have I never been in love before?
    Up to now, I made fun of it
    Everyone saying “I love you” all the time
    Like cats in heat

    But now that I'm in love, I know
    What do people live for?
    Meeting, falling in love, losing yourself completely
    I'm not being me, I want to find the real me

    Making out in public, showing pictures on our phones
    Talking of nothing but love
    I used to curse sappy couples, but I'm coming to think it's fun

    I’m looking for matching rings
    Christmas is coming, and Valentine’s Day, too
    What shall we do for our birthdays?
    Happiness is something to be proud of

    Before, I’d never been in love, but now I’m so excited
    It's so much fun I have no time for things like romance dramas
    I wish I’d realized sooner

    It’s better to be the protagonist of your own love story
    Heart pounding, flustered, a squeeze in the chest

    You who are undecided, go and confess right away
    Don’t just be a spectator
    Look into each other’s eyes, embrace
    And kiss

    Take part in happiness

    Why have I never been in love before?
    Up to now, I made fun of it
    Everyone saying “I love you” all the time
    Like cats in heat

    But now that I'm in love, I know
    What do people live for?
    Meeting, falling in love, losing yourself completely
    I’m not being me, I want to find the real me

    ちょっとくらい浮かれちゃったって 気づけばスキップしていたって 思い出し笑いとかしちゃっても

    だって 初めて彼氏ができちゃって なんだか フワフワしてきちゃって 心ここになくなっちゃうでしょう

    何言われたって 全然気にならない
    微笑み返してあげる
    幸せは敵作らない

    なぜ 恋をして来なかった?
    今までずっと バカにしてた
    だってどいつもこいつも I LOVE YOU! って
    まるで 盛りのついた猫だ

    でも恋をしてみてわかったんだ
    人は何のために生きるのか?
    巡り会って 愛し合って 無になって
    自分じゃない ホントの自分見つけたい

    人前でイチャイチャとか スマホの写真見せるとか
    恋バナばかり語っちゃうとか
    そんなバカップルを呪ってたのに 楽しいなって思えてきて

    お揃いの指輪したりして
    もうすぐクリスマス バレンタインデーもあるし
    誕生日はどういうプラン?
    幸せは自慢したいもの

    そう 恋をして来なかった分 近頃 私 盛り上がり中
    だってこんな楽しい ラブストーリー ドラマとか 見てる場合じゃない
    もっと 早く気づけばよかったわ

    恋は主人公になるべきよ
    ドキドキして ハラハラしてキュンとして

    迷ってる人達よ すぐに告白しちゃいなさい
    そばで見てる観客より
    見つめあって抱き合って
    キスをしましょう

    幸せは参加すること

    なぜ 恋をして来なかった?
    今までずっと バカにしてた
    だってどいつもこいつも I LOVE YOU! って
    まるで 盛りのついた猫だ

    でも恋をしてみてわかったんだ
    人は何のために生きるのか?
    巡り会って 愛し合って 無になって

    Finally, here are subs for the third MV, Buddies, centred by Ten-chan. Link also in sig.

    These lyrics are amazingly direct about the group's situation, but look at it in a more positive and forward-looking way than in Nobody's Fault: "The wind that took everything away Has passed now"..."We can’t stay where we are /Let’s start out right now, on our own legs"..."From now, things begin again /We are free, because we have nothing /We can go anywhere /Let’s toss away despair and tears." Ten-chan is really good, as a singer and as a bold dancer, full of youth and energy.

    Hope these are useful, as making them has been for me.

    English
    How are you? I wanted to see you
    Look, a clear blue sky
    The world hasn’t changed
    Aren’t we the same as we were then?
    The breeze of the season, the smell of flowers
    The green trees, sun filtering through
    Let’s live!

    The wind that took everything away
    Has passed now
    It has passed
    As if nothing ever happened
    The land is calm
    Everything is over

    We can’t stay where we are
    Let’s start out right now, on our own legs…
    Our hearts see a far place
    Our hopes are real, aren't they?
    We have you, so it will definitely go well
    We have me, so we will get there
    Let’s go!

    We are buddies
    We are buddies, we are dreaming
    We are buddies
    We are buddies, we are comrades
    We are buddies

    Anything we have lost
    Will come again tomorrow
    It will come tomorrow
    The sad wind and rain have ended
    The night brightens to a new dawn
    The sun is rising

    From now, things begin again
    We are free, because we have nothing
    We can go anywhere
    Let’s toss away despair and tears
    I’ve been waiting for you
    Have you been waiting for me?
    Let’s head for the future

    There are English softsubs here for Blue Moon Kiss. Just the TV version from SokoSaku, which is about half the length of the recorded full version. Now that I understand the lyrics, it's great to see how the dance and expressions portray them.

    [​IMG]

    EDIT: Now I've added text files of the full Japanese lyrics and full English translation.
