I didn’t mean to do this single today but I found a copy of it so I here are the lyrics a little early. Lia is such an amazing singer. I hope they release the LiSA AKA Yui version on the next single (so that I have one less song to do). The ED translation is coming soon but have fun with this for the time being.

English Translation
I open my eyes again, to a sleepy morning
I tighten the tie around my neck
When I pass through the classroom door I can walk in with my chest puffed out proudly
Such a wind blows past everyday life
I thought I heard it
I even thought I felt it
Now it starts to shake within my chest
I thought it would come soon
As those millions of stars vanished
I watched them fade
I waved them good-bye
“I’m glad”
Overlooking the corner of the hall as I sweep
I think something is odd
Even though the time within me has stopped
It’s like I’m living different days
The dust falls and piles up like snow
I thought they were waiting
I even thought they were calling out
Now my time starts to shake
I thought I found it
I awaken lost memories
That’s the end
Of the eternal
Story
Before I knew it I was running
You were pulling my hand
Yesterday is long past; Tomorrow is just ahead
My heart raced at such obviousness
I thought I heard it
I even thought I felt it
Now it starts to shake within my chest
I thought it would come soon
The new day passes through thousands of mornings
I thought it was waiting
I even thought it was calling out
My soul is shaking
I thought I found it
Like millions of dreams the day can vanish
I watched it fade
I waved it good-bye
“Thank you”
Kanji
目覚めては繰り返す 眠い朝は
襟のタイをきつく締め
教室のドアくぐるとほんの少し胸を張って歩き出せる
そんな日常に吹き抜ける風
聞こえた気がした
感じた気がしたんだ
震え出す今この胸で
もう来る気がした
幾億の星が消え去ってくのを
見送った
手を振った
よかったね、と
廊下の隅見下ろす 掃除の途中
おかしなものだと思う
あたしの中の時は止まってるのに
違う日々を生きてるように
埃は雪のように降り積む
待ってる気がした
呼んでる気がしたんだ
震え出す今この時が
見つけた気がした
失われた記憶が呼び覚ました
物語
永遠の
その終わり
いつの間にか駆けだしてた
あなたに手を引かれてた
昨日は遠く 明日はすぐ
そんな当たり前に心が躍った
聞こえた気がした
感じた気がしたんだ
震え出す今この胸で
もう来る気がした
幾千の朝を越え 新しい陽が
待ってる気がした
呼んでる気がしたんだ
震えてるこの魂が
見つけた気がした
幾億の夢のように消え去れる日を
見送った
手を振った
ありがとう、と

I guess that means people can grab the single pretty easily with the link in your comment. Accidental teamwork!

I don’t know if it’s just me, but it sounds like she says “Ikuoku no yume” instead of “Ikioku no yume” in the line towards the end. When they hadn’t yet released the full version, I wasn’t sure what it’d sound like. The people who did fake fulls actually did a pretty good job, lol. I guess it wasn’t quite what I expected, but the song is still good. Thanks for the translation.

Oh thanks for catching that! It should be “iku oku” like you said but I guess I made a typo. It has been corrected now. Sorry for the confusion.

it translation in romanji is wrong. you know that right?
you have it as: “Mezamete ha kurikaesu Nemui asa ha”
when it is actually: “Mezamete wa kurikaesu Nemui asa wa”
there are many other places where the translation of the hiragana is wrong. “ha” can also mean “wa” if you listen to the song they say “wa”

mm..I am japanese but I don’t care which is.
It’s too natural to write “ha” even as Romaji and I can’t think it is mistaken.it’s also easier to read.
but sure that it pronounce “wa”.

If you’re using Nihon-shiki romanisation, then you should be writing SI instead of SHI. If you’re using Hepburn romanisation, then you should be writing WA instead of HA (when used as a particle). What you’ve got here is somewhere in between.

You’re right. I do use a hybrid of them; Hepburn for most things except Nihon-shiki for some particles. My point is that both systems are valid since most people only recognize Hepburn for some reason.

Thanks for lyrics!
Hepburn is for people who are used to English pronunciations of latin script, nihon-shiki is easier for Japanese people who are used to trying to write Japanese things with latin script. Since Japanese people will probably use kana, that is why hepburn is more popular. And as always, “maybe the Japanese way of teaching English is wrong” lol

I wish everyone would stop saying Clannad this and Clannad that on Angel Beats! pages. Seriously, we’re here to talk about Angel Beats! not Clannad. T_T

I almost cried at the end of Angel Beats!
And honestly, I preferred Kanon over Clannad, by how touching they were.

I did actually cry at the end of Angel Beats.
Kanon is my favorite anime. Between Angel Beats and Clannad though, I’m not quite sure which I prefer more.
