   For Fruits Basket
I was so happy, you were laughing
With a smile that melts everything away

Spring is still far away, inside the cold earth,
Waiting for the time to sprout

For instance, even if today is painful
And yesterday's wounds remain
I want to believe that I can free my heart and go on

I cannot be reborn
But I can change as I go on, so
Let's stay together always

Smile only at me and touch me with those fingers
This simple desire is everlasting

I want things to be simple
Let's finally get across this sea of mournful sorrow

For instance, even if today is painful
Someday it will become a warm memory
If you leave everything up to your heart

I understand the meaning our living here
It is to know the joy of having been born
Let's stay together always

   Omoide ni Dakarete Ima wa Held by Memoreis, in This Moment
I remember that warmth...
I thought those distant days when we loved each other
Amidst the shimmering sunlight filtering through the trees were everything.
Held by memories, in this moment, I turn into a coward
And choose a life in which I can't even feel the pain.

I want to be certain of the meaning of love
My true face, reflected in the mirror...
I put on some lipstick
Because I can't stand my pale, exhausted face.

Held by memories, in this moment, I turn into a coward and choose a life in which I can't even feel pain.

Ah, If I throw everything away
I'll soon be able to meet a new me.

Held by memories, in this moment, I turn into a coward and choose a life in which I can't even feel pain.

Held by memories, in this moment, I can't go forward
I can't allow myself a life of wandering after something.

   Face To Face
What's going on?
Could this be my understanding
It's not your fault I was being too demanding
I must admit it's my pride that made me distant
All because I hoped that you'd be someone different
There's not much I know about you
Fear will always make you blind
But the answer is in clear view
It's amazing what you'll find face to face

I turned away because I thought you were the problem
Tried to forget until I hit the bottom
But when I faced you in my blank confusion
I realized you weren't wrong, it was a mere illusion

It really didn't make sense
Just to leave this unresolved
It's not hard to go the distance
when you finally get involved face to face

-Daft Punk [Though they're not J-Pop or Game/Anime music persay, they have an anime theme associated with videos from the 'Discovery' album, of which this song is taken. That is my reasoning for being able to sneak it on the list.]

   Asu e Yuuki /// Courage Toward Tomorrow
With the best smile you have
Let's start pedaling really hard
Even if the wind wants to push you back
Don't be discouraged

A strength that wins over sorrow
You will be told softly
By aiming for the vast ocean

Go for it! Your eyes will someday
Bask in the light and start to shine
Turn your belief to go on
Do not give up the courage toward tomorrow

Stand with your back straight
Take a deep breath
If you always look down
Nothing changes

Straight along the rail of your heart
If you walk without looking back
Your dream will always come true

Go for it! Your tears will someday shine
Brighter than glittering jewels
Turn your pursuit for dreams
Without giving up the strength toward tomorrow

A strength that wins over sorrow
You will be told softly
By aiming for the vast ocean

Go for it! Your eyes will someday
Bask in the light and start to shine
Turn your belief to go on
Do not give up the courage toward tomorrow

   The Power Of Love
There comes a time
When you face the toughest of fights
Searching for a sign
Lost in the darkest of nights

The wind blows so cold
Standing alone
Before the battle's begun
But deep in your soul
The future unfolds
As bright as the rays of the sun

You've got to believe
In the power of love
You've got to believe
In the power of love

Blazing emotion
There's a light that flows from the heart
It's a chain reaction
And nothing will keep us apart

Stand by my side
There's nothing to hide
Together we'll fight to the end
Take hold of my hand
And you'll understand
What it truly means to be friends

You've got to believe (You've got to believe)
In the power of love
You've got to believe
In the power of love

In the power of love.

   Tsuki no KAASU /// The Moon's Curse
Moon's curse in this icy dream...
In a world with no words, I profess my love Until it will reach you, someday
The intense wish that fell from those lips That I held close with wounded arms
I wanted to unravel it for you
Because if I throw away the beauty Of our love that existed in the past
I can go towards a more beautiful night tomorrow

Moon's curse
From this icy dream I wanted to take you far away
How far can I go Until I reach a place where I can believe in love

By ways only a child who knows no pain can do
You close yourself off to the world
Your first words of love that you whispered at my ear eyes that hide nothing I want to decieve them
If I could hold you and know that I can keep you warm
I am not afraid of any punishment or sin

Moon's curse
We awake from the icy dream And I float aimlessly, connected to you
How far shall we go Until we gain the silence of love

Because If I throw away the beauty of our love that existed in the past I can go towards a more beautiful night tomorrow

Moon's curse
From this icy dream I wanted to take you far away
How far can we go Until we reach a place where we can believe in love

How far can we go Until we reach a place where we can believe in love
Beyond the night, just the two of us

   Komm Susser Todd
I know, I know I let you down
I've been a fool to myself
I thought that I could
Live for no one else
But not through all the hurt and pain
It's time for me to respect
The ones you love
Mean more than anything
So with sadness in my heart
I feel the best thing I can do
Is end it all
And leave forever
What's done is done, it feels so bad
What once was happy now is sad
I'll never love again
My world is ending

I wish that I could turn back time
Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from ones you love.
I know we can't forget the past
You can't forget love and pride
Because of that it's killing me inside

It all returns to nothing, it all comes
Tumbling down, tumbling down,
Tumbling down,
It all returns to nothing, I just keep
Letting me down, letting me down
Letting me down,
In my heart of hearts,
I know that I called never love again
I've lost everything,
Everything
That matters to me,
Matters in this world

I wish that I could turn back time
Cause now the guilt is all mine
Can't live without the trust from those you love
I know we can't forget the past
We can't forget love and pride
Because of that, it's killing me inside

   Eternal Wind
The light of the sunset spreads,
coloring your profile
Oh sky, don't lose
those enchanting colors

I guess everything fades
and changes with time
You too, will wave "bye"
as you walk on.

But there are some things that don't ever change,
taht can't ever be put into words:
the feelings that fill your heart.

Pain, come now
becoming an eternal wind.
Keep blowing,
tow rap around your stooped-over shoulders.
I am always watching you
Even if
you're in a far off place.

If we are reborn,
I will be born as myself.
Then I will find you,
once again...

Even though all things that have a shape
have limits,
I want to tell you that there are some things
that will never fade.

Just because you were nearby
That alone enabled me
to walk even this steep a road.

Loneliness, come now,
become an eternal wind. From now on,
keep blowing,
pushing at your back as you walk alone.
I want to save you with love unseen
Until we meet again someday.

Now, unchanging things are nothing but
continually glittering emotions
that have gone unspoken.

Pain, come now,
become an eternal wind.
Keep blowing,
to wrap around your stooped-over shoulders.
I am always watching you
Even if
you're in a far off place.

   Love Somebody
Closing my eyes off everyday won't get me anywhere.
But at least the feeling can keep me in the moment.
The ideal is far. But reality is near.
Although the wind is strong, I still smile to myself.
Hug me tightly, and for sure, I will become strong.

Faithfully, I Love Somebody. One day,
I'll find what I'm looking for. I'll Take My Chance.
In this world, I will even stop time, to become his angel.
Faithfully, I Love Somebody. I certainly will meet,
That irreplacable person.
I can't stop this passion. Tomorrow will fly here soon.

In this dream I see alone, I look toward two people.
I can guess who they probably are. What a lovley vision.
It's puzzling though. Even though we don't spend any leisure time,
I'm still happy all the time.
I'll never lose my way.
Firmly looking ahead, I hold myself together.

Faithfully, I Love Somebody. One day,
I believe I'll Get My Chance.
The fated bell will toll, and the gates will open.
Faithfully, I Love Somebody. The fateful encounter,
WIth that person, I'll continue seeking it.
THe sun starts shining, as miracles don't lie.

Faithfully, I Love Somebody. The fateful encounter, With that person, I'll continue seeking it.
The sun strats shining, as I break into a run.
