Time to sing and dance with the Illumination!!!

Hi. How is life? For me, this month is been quite a busy month. My busy schedule is then compounded by the difficulty to translate the song that I'm gonna talk about today, delaying the publishing of this blog post. Anyway, since I managed to publish blog posts on anime like Otonari no Tenshi, Engage KissKuma Bear Season 2, Bofuri Season 2 and of course, finally managed to publish this post, I will try to publish a series of posts on anime songs. Hopefully, it won't take too long, like this one.

Remember her?

What anime song? Well, this time, it will be a song called Illumination, which is the song that Komichi dances to in the anime. Yes, the song that I have a hard time translating because there is no reference at all as nobody did a translation for this song. Ok, let's not waste any more time. Let's go!




WARNING:-

Although this post is just me talking about a certain anime song, there might be SPOILERS from the anime. If you plan to watch the anime without any spoilers, you can continue reading or move on.



P.S. If you want to be spoiled, well, go ahead and read it, you HAVE been warned. Don't blame me for it if you insist on continuing to read this post.


Introduction


Nice album cover

The song, Illumination, is one of the insert songs of the anime Akebi's Sailor Uniform. It appeared in episode 3 when Komichi was dancing to the song on school grounds. Almost every aspect of the song is done by Jazzin'park. Kurihara Satoru (栗原暁) is responsible for the song's lyrics and co-composed the song with Kubota Shingo (久保田真悟). All of them are from Jazzin'park. Frankly, only one aspect of the song is not done by them, which is the singing part. It is sung by the girl who is in the ads that Komichi watched, Fukumoto Miki, which is voiced by Saito Shuka (斉藤 朱夏). One of the most notable roles is the one in Love Live! Sunshine!! in which she voiced Watanabe You. Anyway, I'm done with it. Let's go!!!

Kya!!! Komichi-chan!!!!! ENCORE!!!!!!!!!

Sunrise and moonrise
Shining on you
While you're dancing with passion
Sunshine and moonlight
Shining on the future
And illuminating our worlds!

Let’s
Dive into the future, towards the light.
Don't waiver, take it high
Dive into the future, towards the unknown
Wherever we're at, fly up high

The body line that everyone is jealous and conscious of,
That intoxicating, high-spec, Venus-like body line of yours
Shows your great and colourful fashion sense.
I'm leaving it to your calmness and childlike smile.

Hey,
Foxy and spicy girl,
Cool and passionate girl,
If you aren't paying attention, be prepared to be punished
Hey,
Fancy and showy girl,
Positive and passionate girl,
Only know how to love and cannot stop.

Sunrise and moonrise
Shining on you
While you're dancing with passion
Sunshine and moonlight
Shining on the future
And illuminating our worlds!

Let’s
Dive into the future, towards the light.
Don't waiver, take it high
Dive into the future, towards the unknown
Wherever we're at, fly up high

The secret to conquering the impregnable stage is to keep a straight face
With these experiences as your lesson, your efforts won't betray you
Feel like dancing all day
So I'm leaving it to your passion and your mature gestures.

Hey,
My unique style
Don't look back, just give it a try
My dreams can't end as just another dream

Sunrise & moonrise
Embracing you,
Sing with resonating heartbeats
Sunshine & moonlight
Waiting for a miracle
Our growing feelings are an illumination

Everybody makes me shine
The part of me that nobody knows,
I'll show it only to you.

Sunrise and moonrise
Shining on you
While you're dancing with passion
Sunshine and moonlight
Shining on the future
And illuminating our worlds!

Let's
Dive into the future, toward the light
Don't waiver, take it high
Dive into the future, towards the unknown
Wherever we are, fly up high
Dive into the future, toward the light
Don't waiver, take it high
Dive into the future, towards the unknown
Wherever we are, fly up high

Just beautiful. Just beautiful.

Matahari terbit dan bulan terbit
Menyinari kamu
Menari dengan penuh semangat
Sinar matahari dan cahaya bulan
Menyinari masa depan
Menyinari dunia kita!

Mari kita
Terjun ke arah masa depan, ke hala cahaya tu
Jangan meragu, terbang setinggi mungkin

Garis tubuhmu yang memabukkan and secantik Venus
Menunjukkan gayamu yang elegan and berwarna-warni
Biar ketenangan dan senyuman kau untuk menanganinya

Hei,
Gadis yang licik and seksi,
Gadis yang tenang dan penuh semangat
Jika tak beri perhatian, siapkan dirimu untuk dihukum.
Hei
Gadis yang berpenampilan mewah dan mencolok
Gadis yang penuh semangat dan positif
Hanya akan tahu cinta tanpa henti.

Matahari terbit dan bulan terbit
Menyinari kamu
Menari dengan penuh semangat

Biar semangatmu and kedewasaan kau untuk menanganinya 

Hei
Gaya unik kepadaku
Hanya akan cuba tanpa kekesalan
Tak akan biar impianku hanya menjadi mimpi.

Menunggu ajaib berlaku
Perasaan kita yang semakin menguat adalah cahaya!

Semua orang membolehkanku bersinar
Seahagianku yang tak dikenali oleh sesiapa
Hanya akan menunjukkan kepadamu

Matahari terbit dan bulan terbit
Menyinari kamu
Menari dengan penuh semangat
Sinar matahari dan cahaya bulan
Menyinari masa depan
Menyinari dunia kita!

Mari kita
Terjun ke arah masa depan, ke hala cahaya tu
Jangan meragu, terbang setinggi mungkin
Terjun ke arah masa depan, menjelajahi tempat baru
Bagaimana pun, terbang setinggi-tingginya
Terjun ke arah masa depan, ke hala cahaya tu
Jangan meragu, terbang setinggi mungkin
Terjun ke arah masa depan, menjelajahi tempat baru
Bagaimana pun, terbang setinggi-tingginya

More Miki moments

Commentary


As the song is only presented in anime as a song that Miki sang and Komichi danced to in school with the cheers of her classmates and friends, there is nothing much to relate the anime to this song. So, I will just talk about the song in its essence. As for spoilers, there aren't really any huge spoilers.

Remember that great race between Komichi and Riri?

Anyway, the song sings about...frankly speaking, I don't really know how to express this so I acquired the help of Bing AI chat on this matter. Well, it's not really accurate. Let me show you:

The song is about the passion and excitement of youth, as well as the love and friendship between the two main characters, Komichi and Miki. The lyrics use various metaphors of light, such as sunrise, moonrise, sunshine, moonlight, and illumination, to express the feelings of the characters. The song also has a catchy and upbeat melody that matches the energetic and cheerful personality of Miki.

OK, first things first, the song has NOTHING to do with the love and friendship between Komichi and Miki. Miki and Komichi NEVER met each other. Komichi only knows Miki through commercials and her TV appearance as a star. So, it is IMPOSSIBLE for them to befriend each other. Other than that, it captures the essence of the song pretty well. Well, whether Miki is energetic and cheerful or not, we can judge from her CMs that on the surface where the spotlight is on her, she is energetic and cheerful. Oh God, I'm reminded of a really popular anime that I love to hate and left me traumatised after watching it. Not gonna recall it. Moving on...

Komichi and her friends cheerleading!!!

With Bing AI Chat's help, we can summarise the song's essence. AHEM! The song is about the passion and excitement of youth. It uses the metaphor of the sun and the moon to express the youthful passion and excitement of Komichi's new life in middle school. The catchy and upbeat melody matches the energetic, youthful, cheerful and passionate theme of the song. And yes, of course, words such as sunrise, moonrise, sunshine, moonlight, and illumination are used as expressive metaphors in the song. Well, it is no wonder our energetic, youthful, cheerful and passionate Komichi-chan loves to sing and dance along with the song. I like it too. OK, that's all I could elaborate on. Moving on...

Komichi and Erika film themselves playing with water

Conclusion


Oh, you are here? Nice! I'm sorry that I'm late on the publishing of this blog post but better late than never, isn't it? Anyway, the song is generally really energetic, making me wanna dance when I listen to this song. Try and listen to it. I bet that you would like the energetic tone of the song and would like to dance to it, for sure!!! Ahem! Anyway, I hope that you enjoy reading and browsing this blog. Goodbye, and God bless you!

Komichi playing with...

...Erika. How cute.
