Just a few hours ago, director announced 3D version of the film is finally finished, and the screening will be hosted at the end of the month.
I would have liked it to be a more...rock-like. Girls Next Door was much better, but I think would have been awesome for Tsuruno and DiVA to collaborate. I think I would have died if I could hear Masuda Yuka and Tsuruno Takeshi sing together.
Lyrics (from 2ch):
秋元:A 梅田:U 増田:M 宮澤:S
Lost the way
※M 行き先は忘れない 僕が歩き出した道
S いくつもの夜が過ぎ 星を見失ったって
A 進むべき 明日はそこにある
A 鬱蒼と茂った木々が 未来を隠している
M 立ち止まっていても 太陽は見えてこない
S 木々の???? 踏み出して
U 湿った土の上 足跡残していく
S 古い地図は見るだけ無駄だ 目の前には過去形の森
M 自分で決めれば良い さあ 自分の出口
※A 行き先は忘れない 僕が夢を見てる場所
U 悲しみの坂を越え 息が苦しくなったって
M 目指してる ?(音楽?)諦めない
The poster seems unsure of a couple of parts so I'll just leave his/her ???'s in. They separated the lines out by who they think is singing, but when I googled it seems that those might not be accurate.
I won't forget my destination, the path I set out upon
So many nights passed, I lost sight of the stars
I should move ahead, tomorrow is over there
The trees grow thick, hiding the future
Even if I stop, I cannot see the sun
??? the trees, I step forward
My footprints remain upon the damp earth
Don't just look at an old map, it's the past shape of the forest
You should decide on your own, yeah, your own exit
I won't forget my destination, the place in my dreams
Crossing the slope of sadness, it gets hard to breathe
Don't give up on the ??? you were aiming for
Hmmm, I'd suspected that the English letters in front of each line might've referred to who was singing that particular line - thanks for confirming that (more or less). That's probably what was throwing the Google Translation off.
But, your translation clearly confirms the sense of the song, which I think is far more appropriate for the movie - and the franchise.
