    Ano natsu no hanabi

    Lyrics

    Ano natsu no hanabi

    Japanese

    Tooku kara mune furuwasu oto ga hibiite kuru
    Mushiatsui yami no mukou ga yakete iru
    Senkou ga yobisamashita ano natsu no hanabi wo
    Kawakaze ga hakonda kayaku no nioi wo

    Hito de afureru teibou hagurenai you ni
    Majika de mita juugou dama mabataki wo wasureta

    Imagoro anata mo dokoka de omoidashiteru no?
    Ano hi no koto

    Tomodachi ni hiyaka sareta mou natsu no hajime ni wa
    Futari shite hana to hoho dake yakete ita

    Kawa ni ochiru hanabira ga kieteku magiwa ni
    Tateru oto ga setsunakute me o sorasenakatta

    Imagoro anata mo dareka to kotoshi no hanabi wo miteru no?
    Chitteku kisetsu wo issho ni ikite yukeru hito mitsuketa?

    Nokoru kemuri kasumu daisankaku
    Shuyaku ubawareta hachigatsu no seiza

    Imagoro anata mo dokoka de omoidashiteru no?
    Ano natsu no hanabi wo

    Kotoshi mo kirei ne ano hi to onaji you ni kagayaku hanatachi

    Imagoro anata mo dokoka de chitteku kisetsu wo ikiteru
    Imagoro dareka to...

    English

    From far away, breast-shaking sounds are echoing
    steaming heat -- burning in the darkness
    flashes awakened -- that past summer's fireworks
    carried on the river-wind, the aroma of gunpowder

    Riverbank so overflowing with people, probably not able to peel off
    seen nearby the #10 shell's flash was forgotten

    These days do you too, somewhere, recall... that day...
    Teased by friends at the very start of summer
    as a couple, only our noses and cheeks were sunburned
    flower petals falling into the river, on the verge of disappearing
    pattering sounds gentle, couldn't turn my eyes away

    These days are you too, with someone, seeing this year's fireworks?
    Did you find the person compatible through the falling-away seasons?

    The remaining smoke, hazy Great Triangle [Altair, Vega, Deneb]
    leading part taken away, August's constellation [Sagittarius]

    These days do you too, somewhere, recall... that past summer's fireworks...

    This year too, so beautiful, the same as that day, the shining blossoms
    These days, are you too, somewhere, living through the falling-away seasons
    These days, with someone...

    English

    Becoming gradually impatient for this night
    a strained sensation pushing from behind
    steadily come to like this night
    mighty power being born

    Swollen subway get on towards the middle
    as for the battle's preparations: don't blunder -- don't retreat -- don't take away that hand

    My own somewhat fickle way -- crying or laughing
    returning to again in order to be who I am

    I've come to like the things about you
    can't go on without saying just this

    The times with you -- for me, the most favorite
    the answer I was looking for -- gentle, self-conscious -- that hand is hot

    My own fickle way -- detouring road
    I've had enough of loneliness on the weekend

    My own somewhat fickle way -- detouring road
    excitement of the heart borrowing from this wonderful night's strength

    Getting near -- swollen subway will soon board
    "OK!" traced three times in the palm of the hand[1] for deeper understanding

    Getting near -- getting near -- being forced out
    getting near -- getting near -- deciding battle on Friday

    [1] The 3 kanji characters "dai-jou-bu" traced with a finger in the palm

    Let's go to the mountains next Sunday like the old times
    If it rains, the bridge that we'll cross will sink to the bottom of the river
    I steadily pushed my way throught the chest-high grass
    & then ran so I don't lose sight of you

    I can slightly jump across the stream we crossed, being held

    Let's go together & gather the "Kokuwa" fruit again
    I'll become a rather reliable navigator

    On the last day of kindergarten, I secretly painted my nails with red ink
    You scolded me & made me cry.

    With shoulders lined up, I also fell in love like the others

    Let's go & listen to his words,
    & make some tea expertly

    Let's go together! I always slept on the way back, & this time I'm driving.

    Together, let's talk about many things
    It's good that it's a clear day...


This is the big one. Their best selling album. The first album to sell more than 3 million copies in Japanese history (and is still one of the all time top selling albums even today).

The album that was responsible for getting me into DCT in the first place, thanks to Kessen wa kin’youbi. ^_^
