Introduction

---

The song, The Other Side of the Wall is the opening song for the anime Princess Principal. Oh, I introduced it to you before and also give a deeper analysis and some of my thoughts of the anime. Those were fiery and passionate times. Ahem! Anyway, this opening theme song has a really cheerful tone to it. I like it very much. This is my most listened song in recent times. This song is the opening theme song of Vividred Operation, sang by earthmind, written by Rico and composed and arranged by Saitou Shinya. Anyway, let's start!

Lyrics

Original

途切れない気持ちが私の道標

しゃがみ込んだここから続く明日へ行こう 君と

読めない風向きに 何度も迷うけど

いつもイメージ通りって たぶんつまんない

ありふれて見えても 泣き笑いの日々で

地図をはみ出しそうな想いが溢れて…

全部が繋がるよ

今日だって最高の未来に変わってく

昨日の涙さえ誇れる場所になるから

分け合った痛みを 語り合ったその夢を

いま両手で抱き締めよう もっと君と

ここが何処かなんて まだ知らないけれど

ひたむきなこのキモチ きっと止まんない

行き先も告げない 目の前の道さえ

君と出会えたあの日 見つけ出したもの…

明日へ繋げよう

今日だって最高のチカラが生まれてく

昨日の情熱がキラめく場所にいるから

ぶつかって寄り添って 強くなるこのキズナを

空の果てで響かせよう もっと

ひとりよがりのプライドなんて

カカトからすり減ってくんだって

つまづいた時に 気付いたんだ

振り向けばそこにある笑顔

背中を叩いてくれる手を

離さないよ 一緒に走り出そう

いつだって最高の未来に変わってく

昨日の涙さえ誇れる場所になるから

分け合った痛みを 語り合ったその夢を

いま両手で抱き締めるよ

この胸に吹き付ける風を越えて

ぶつかって寄り添って 強くなるこのキズナを

空の果てで響かせよう もっと君と

Cute Aoi!!!!!!

Romaji (just for reference to read the kanji)

Togirenai kimochi ga watakushi no michishirube

Shagamikonda koko kara tsuzuku ashita e yukou kimi to

Yomenai kazamuki ni nando mo mayou kedo

Itsumo imeeji doori tte tabun tsumannai

Arifurete mietemo nakiwarai no hibi de

Chizu wo hamidashisou na omoi ga afurete…

Zenbu ga tsunagaru yo

Kyou datte saikou no mirai ni kawatteku

Kinou no namida sae hokoreru basho ni naru kara

Wakeatta itami wo katariatta sono yume wo

Ima ryoute de dakishimeyou motto kimi to

Koko ga dokoka nante mada shiranai keredo

Hitamuki na kono kimochi kitto tomannai

Ikisaki mo tsugenai me no mae no michi sae

Kimi to deaeta ano hi mitsukedashita mono…

Ashita e tsunageyou

Kyou datte saikou no chikara ga umareteku

Kinou no jounetsu ga kirameku basho ni iru kara

Butsukatte yorisotte tsuyoku naru kono kizuna wo

Sora no hate de hibikaseyou motto

Hitoriyogari no puraido nante

Kakato kara surihettekun datte

Tsumazuita toki ni kizuitan da

Furimukeba soko ni aru egao

Senaka wo tataite kureru te wo

Hanasanai yo issho ni hashiridasou

Itsudatte saikou no mirai ni kawatteku

Kinou no namida sae hokoreru basho ni naru kara

Wakeatta itami wo katariatta sono yume wo

Ima ryoute de dakishimeru yo

Kono mune ni fukitsukeru kaze wo koete

Butsukatte yorisotte tsuyoku naru kono kizuna wo

Sora no hate de hibikaseyou motto kimi to

Aoi is so cute! xD

English Translation

With the undying passion in my heart as my beacon,
I’ll break free from my depression and move forward with you. 

In these unpredictable times, how many times have we gotten lost?
But wouldn’t it be boring if our journey is always smooth?

As I look back at the joys and sorrows that I had with you,
My feelings start to overflow so much that no words can express them…

Everything is connected! 

Even today can become the best future,
Because the tears of yesterday could be something we are proud of.
Those pains we've shared together, that dream we've walked together...
Let’s hold our hands together! I want to be with you even more… 

Although I still don't know where we are at now,
I’m sure that our earnest feeling is unstoppable! 

I don’t even know the destination and even this road before me,
But this is what became of our fated meeting that day...

Let's connect to the future!

Even today can give birth to the greatest power,
Because the passions of yesterday could be shining!
The times when we clashed with each other will strengthen our bonds
They will resound high into the heavens ever more...

After I stumbled,
I only realised my prideful heart,
And my worn-down heels.
Then, I turn around and see you smiling at me.
How could I let go of the hand that patted me on the back?
Let’s run towards the future together! 

Even today can become the best future,
Because the tears of yesterday could be something we are proud of.
Those pains we've shared together, that dream we've walked together...
Let’s hold our hands together!
Let’s run faster than the gentle breeze that blows towards us.
The times when we clashed with each other will strengthen our bonds
They will resound high into the heavens ever more...

Akane! Cute!!!

Chinese Translation

不曾间断的心意 为我指明了方向

从沮丧的角落继续走向明天吧 和你一起

看不清楚的风向 让我再一次迷茫

不过如果事事都顺心 那又有什么乐趣？

有哭有笑的时光 尽管看似日常

其中也载满了思念 就要漫出地图。

一切都紧紧相连！

即使是今天 也会变成最棒的未来

连昨天的泪水 也会在那里化作骄傲

曾彼此分担的痛 曾彼此畅谈的梦

此刻张开双臂紧紧拥抱在怀中 与你一起

尽管我还不知道 此刻我身在何方

一心一意的思念 也一定难以阻止

尽管眼前的道路 不知要通往何方

也是与你相识之日 一同找到出路

一同去连接明天吧！

即使是今天 也会孕育出最强力量

昨天的热情 即将在此绽放光彩

有过争执和依偎 愈发愈强的羁绊

让我们在天空的尽头将它奏响 更加响亮！

自以为的骄傲什么的

已经在脚后跟逐渐磨平

在跌倒时我才终于察觉

回首就能看见你的笑容

身后就有你的手在推动

决不松手 一同向前飞奔吧！

无论是何时 都会变成最棒的未来

连昨天的泪水 也会在那里化作骄傲

曾彼此分担的痛 曾彼此畅谈的梦

此刻愿张开双臂紧紧拥抱在怀中

穿过迎风吹拂着膛胸的风

有过争执和依偎 愈发愈强的羁绊

让我们在天空的尽头将它奏响 更加嘹亮！

Futaba...I like your pose there.

Commentary

Himawari...nice pose. xD

This song...oh, yeah!!!! I love it!!! Ahem! Back to serious business. The song is a song of friendship, which is so fitting for this anime. The song's energetic pacing and rhythm give me a lot of energy, LITERALLY. XD...Ahem! The song constantly sings about friendship and moving into the future with friends in good and hard times. The anime is about how the MC, Isshiki Akane befriends Futaba Aoi (who is already a close friend of hers before the Alone's appearance), Saegusa Wakaba, Himawari Himari and EVEN Kuroki Rei. Although their surname LITERALLY has numbers on it (except for Rei), the story of Akane befriending them is brought out well by this song. There were rough times and misunderstandings and also good and fun times but they overcame it throughout the show, as sang in the song. I like this song. It feels so encouraging. I feel like I can overcome difficulties and hardships in life when and after I listen to this song. xD

Cute girls unite!!!

Conclusion

It's been a while since I have made a post like this...it's been a busy October. This month won't be any easier, I think. There is the issue of juggling with A LOT of personal projects but there are also things in real life that I'm concerned like my personal finance and work. Anyway, I will try to post new blog posts as much as I can. Also, since writing up a blog post takes up a lot of time, I decided to update my social media page more often to make up for the gap between different blog posts.

Cute girls in swimsuit!!!!!!!!!!!
