English Translation

Cherry Blossom Weather

I met you at age 16 and fell into a hundred-year love
under these cherry blossoms that fall slowly
the steep hill I ran through wanting to see you and
our shadows in the corner of the park remains unchanged

you, me, and the cherry blossom weather returns after being swayed by the wind
as if I woke up from a long dream, the sky I looked up at is pink

I loved you, I loved you who created a colorful smile
that soft spot to the right that only I knew about
a promise made beneath the cherry blossom 'let's come here again next year'
we made sure many times but it's still unfulfilled

you, me, and the cherry blossom weather is recreated softly in the wind
are you looking at it from somewhere? that same pink sky from that day

the footsteps left in the days I chased after
are treasures more important then anything else

you, me, and the cherry blossom weather returns after being swayed by the wind
the unstoppable feelings overflow and tears build up
you, me, and the cherry blossom weather returns after being swayed by the wind
with the unseen future held in my chest, I look ahead and see the pink sky

ENGLISAH TRANSLATION

Comet

Looking up at the night sky alone, I saw a comet
Though it appeared and vanished in a second
When I think of you, my chest begins to hurt
I want to see you right now, but I can't fly through the sky

If perchance I could have become a comet
I would go flying through the sky
No matter what kind of tomorrow comes, this thought is strong
So my comet is unbreakable

As I was complaining about how hateful the rain was
Even now I still remember what you said
How, after the rain, the night sky is beautifully filled with stars
Thinking of that, I could even come to like the rain

If perchance I could have become a comet
I would always spill my overflowing light
As you look at the night sky when you're sad
I want to sparkle more so that you will smile

fighting something by yourself
Being by your side is all I can do

If perchance I could have become a comet
I would go flying thorugh the sky, surely
I would definitely reach you, with this single moment of light
Lighting up your present and passing through the sky
If I could have become a comet
I would surely stay by your side, at any time

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

D-tecnoLife

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live

Your hand that I held...

Will we lose it someday?
I want to protect you and that disappearing smile
The ringing voice that calls me dries out
Even if it gets erased by the wind along time
I will find you

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning
So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize

Like a rusted person

It felt so hollow to just pile atop one another
You said you could live on your own
Just with the usual kind words
You ache to a point where I cannot reach you

Your hand that I held searched for some simple kindness
Do you remember
By learning pain, you can become a person who can be kind to others
Drive your Life

Injured with pain and sadness, the you that cannot be healed
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Everything that happens in the unseen future has a meaning
So stay like this, there'll come a time when you will realize

How can I see the meaning of life
Disappearing, you're the only. . .

So you will not break, you distance yourself from me
Don't say words like you can't smile or you hate people
Now it's by and by, even if you cannot see, there's a meaning to everything
Shoulder the burden of the past that cannot be erased; don't throw away your will to live

You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . your different Life?
You'd better forget everything. Remember. . . though, we cannot return

Like in times of warped memories, we can understand someday

ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
to live as fully as possible, day by day
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
let's shine on like that star

1, 2, and so the bells echo, spreading far and wide in the depths of my heart
A legendary stardrop, inside it there's so many narrow paths etched out
With time, the ages pass; a shooting star passes without a sound
Close your eyes and listen hard, maybe you'll hear a "Goodbye"

A black and white photo of the entire sky, a rumbling muffler - white breath
Just wanna get a little closer, I'll race to the high ground up there
Taking out my huge telescope, out of the lens came stardust
Time after time, an epic from across the ages

Now that the light is released,
surely it can't fail, across time it's got to reach someone
The light of glory is right across the way
It's the story I'm about to weave with you all

REPEAT

With my birth cry, a small light and a great light met across space and time
Their shine became one, to begin a new story
Like a constellation that connects the dots,
why shouldn't we create a lovely painting for someone?
Take a look above you; see, it's a winter diamond
This slow-moving galaxy, soon enough, will give you your courage back

REPEAT

REPEAT

This sky is the only one there is; it spreads over all. And beyond the sea,
right now, new life takes breath, and life is cut off, while stars shine on, like goddesses
continuing a long journey, or starting anew; in spring, summer, fall and winter
even a second is enough, just a moment is enough, to engrave my thoughts, to shine without end across the ages

The story goes on in the heart
the "you" of that day takes a night train

Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
It's somebody's cry, reflected in those sparkling eyes
A wish carried on the wind, a request from the moon
to live as fully as possible, day by day
Rays of light from the stars in the night sky above
send a plea from across the ages
with colours that haven't faded
So that our wishes, too, will be in someone's heart someday,
let's shine on like that star

Let's shine on like that star

The history of anime begins at the start of the 20th century, when Japanese filmmakers experimented with the animation techniques that were being explored in the West. Though filmmakers in Japan experimented with animation earlier, the first widely popular anime series was Osamu Tezuka's Astro Boy(1963). During the 1970s, anime developed further, separating itself from its Western roots, and developing unique genres such as mecha. Notable shows in this period include Lupin III and Mazinger Z. During this period several filmmakers became famous, especially Hayao Miyazaki and Mamoru Oshii.

In the 1980s, anime was accepted in the mainstream in Japan, and experienced a boom in production. The start of the Gundam franchise, and the beginnings of Rumiko Takahashi's career began in this decade. Akira set records in 1988 for the production costs of an anime.

The 1990s and 2000s saw an increased acceptance of anime in overseas markets. Akira and Ghost in the Shell (1995) became famous worldwide. Series like Neon Genesis Evangelion and Cowboy Bebop were popular in Japan and attracted attention from the West. Spirited Away shared the first prize at the 2002 Berlin Film Festival and won the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature in 2003, and Innocence: Ghost in the Shell was featured at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.

Anime History - Anime Origins

The origins of Japanese animation are hard to define. In pre-movie times versions of Shadow play (imported from China) existed, which also had incredible impact on the development of animation in Japan as well as the animation pioneer Emil Cohl, who inspired a lot of Japanese artists. The first documented time an animated movie was shown to the public was in the Kabukiza (cinema centre in Tokyo). It was named "Tekugukan".

The earliest known anime (discovered in 2005) was produced circa 1907 and consists of fifty frames drawn directly onto a strip of celluloid. The untitled short depicts a young boy writing the Chinese characters for "moving picture"(映画), then turning towards the viewer, removing his hat, and offering a salute. The creator's identity is unknown.

The First Generation of Japanese Animators

Sadly very few complete movies made during this time have survived until now. The reasons vary, but they are mostly commercial. After they had their big time, reels (being property of the cinemas) were sold to smaller cinemas in the country and then disassembled and sold as strips or single frames.

Shimokawa Oten: A political caricaturist and cartoonist, who worked for the magazine Tokyo Puck. He was hired by Tenkatsu to do an animation for them. Due to medical reasons, he only was able to do five movies, including Imokawa Mukuzo - Genkanban no maki, before he returned to his previous work as a cartoonist.

Kouchi Jun'ichi: A caricaturist and painter, who also had studied watercolor painting. 1912 he also entered the cartoonist sector and was hired for an animation by Kobayashi Shokai later in 1916. He is viewed as the technically most advanced Japanese animator in the 1910s. His works include around 15 movies.

Kitayama Seitaro: Distinct from the other pioneers of his era, Kitayama made animations on his own. He even founded his own animaton studio Kitayama Eiga Seisakujo (which sadly was closed because of lack of commercial success). His animation technique was the chalkboard animation and, later, paper animation (with and without preprinted backgrounds).

The Second Generation of Japanese Animators

Murato Yosuji, Kimura Hakuzan, Yamamoto Sanae and Ofuji Noboro were students of Kitayama Seitaro and worked at his film studio. Masaoka Kenzo, another important animator, worked at a smaller animation studio. In 1923, the Great Kantō earthquake destroyed most of Kitayama studio and the residing animators spread out and founded studios of their own, knowing that one could make money with the production of animations.

During this time, the first youth protection laws were adopted, which also lead to censorship of some early animations for children under the age of 15. On the other hand, films that offered educational value were supported and encouraged by the Monbusho (the Ministry of Education). Hundreds of thousands of yen were spent for this purpose. Animation had found a persistent place in scholastic, political and industrial use, which lead to high demand of new content.

A single flower

You are the only "you"
There is no such thing as your replacement
Don't wilt away, single flower

You are like a flower
That bloomed in a dark shadow
Even though you're in a place you didn't wish to be,
You can't move because of your roots

Just spit out your closed-up feelings

I'll accept all of your pain and suffering
So please don't cry
Please smile, single flower

I wanted to see your innocent figure
That looked as if it were about to wilt, one more time

I want to become your strength

Even if there comes a time
When the whole world becomes our enemy
I'll protect you
