[Info+Photo] Ayu's GREEN cover by a Vietnamese singer, Vân Navy

Great, Great! Another song of Ayu that has been covered by another Vietnamese singer, it's GREEN, It's great because Ayu's well known in some parts of Asia, but to use the song and not properly credit the music arranger + composer, that's so ILLEGAL plagiarism, ya know!

Guess that this singer is a big fan of Ayu, I'm not going to say that she looks like Ayu, but some parts of her outfit just remind me of Ayu~ hmm wondering how's the live version sounded like~ may find the video on youtube.

The title of the song is "Tears of the White Dew-drop flower" which is kind of complicated haha :D

Anyway, she only wrote: 
"Music: Overseas. Vietnamese lyrics: Van Navy"

Sorry, not mean to bash, I sometimes don't like artists who copy or do cover songs but don't credit properly (no offense, folks!)

[Lyric] Sunrise ~ LOVE is ALL ~ romaji + translation

Now we can start to learn to sing the song :)

Sunrise ~ LOVE is ALL ~

Motto soba ni kite
Motto shinjite mite

Mujaki ni warau boku no daisuki na
Sono egao ni tsui sakki made

Namida ga kimi no hoo de hikatte ita koto o
Shitte iru yo

Arinomama o misete toka
Nante kantan ni iwanai kedo
Donna kimi o mi chatte mo
Uketomete ikeru jishin ga aru shi

* Nee motto ookina koe de
Motto ookina ai o kimi ni todoke tai
Sono mune ni hibikase tai

** Motto ookina koe de
Motto ookina ai o sakenda ra
Chotto wa tsutawaru kana

*** Toomawari suru kurai ga ii
Wakari aeru koto o wakatte ru kara

(Motto ookina koe de)
(Motto ookina ai o)
(Motto ookina koe de)
(Motto ookina ai o)

Kimi no ii tai koto wa nantonaku
Daitai ne souzou tsuku

Boku wa muki au tsumori ni natte iru
Dake de nigete ru yo ne

Kowaku nai toka itta ra
Shoujiki uso ni naru kedo ne
Sonna konna hikkurumete
Zenbu kakugo dekita kara

Nee motto soba ni kite
Motto shinjite mite
Boku no kono furueru mune no kodou
Kikoete ru kara

Motto soba ni kite
Motto shinjite mite hoshii
Kokoro no mimi sumasete

Tashikame au no wa mou owari
Omoi atte iru tte shitte ru kara

Bokura wa kanpeki nanka ja
Nai yo datte ningen nanda mono
Dakedo sore de ii to omou n da yo ne
Sonna toko ga itoshii n dakara

(Motto ookina koe de)
(Motto ookina ai o)
(Motto ookina koe de)
(Motto ookina ai o)

English translation

Come closer to me
Try to trust me more

You are laughing innocently
I adore your smile

But I know that tears were shining
On your cheeks until a while ago

I don't say easily, "Show me your true colors"
Or something like that
But I'm confident about accepting you
Whatever color I may see in you

* I want to send bigger love to you
In a louder voice
I want to get to your heart

** If I shout bigger love
In a louder voice
I wonder if it will reach you just a little

*** It's even better to take a roundabout way
I know we'll be able to understand each other

(In a louder voice)
(Bigger love)
(In a louder voice)
(Bigger love)

I can almost imagine for some reason
What you want to say

I just have a mind to face you
But actually I'm running away, don't you think so?

If I said I was not afraid
I'd be lying, to be honest
But I'm all prepared
All taken together

Hey, come closer to me
Try to trust me more
Do you hear the heartbeat
In my trembling chest?

Come closer to me
I want you to listen carefully in your heart
And try to trust me more

The time of confirming each other's mind is over now
I know we are thinking of each other

We are not at all perfect
Because we are human
But I think it's OK
Because I love such a point

(In a louder voice)
(Bigger love)
(In a louder voice)
(Bigger love)

* (repeat)
** (repeat)
*** (repeat)

[Blog] Max Matsuura's official blog about a-nation 2009

Just to complete the last entry, where I only posted the pictures from Max Matsuura's blog, here's what he blogged about a-nation 2009

Max Matsuura's official blog entry

a-nation 熊本


今日、僕の夏がSTARTしました。



途中、機材トラブルで皆さんには


大変ご迷惑おかけしました事を


この場をお借りしてお詫び致します。


ネタバレしちゃうといけないので


詳しくは書けませんが


会場はこんな感じ。



毎年、a-nationで色々な土地に行きますが、


場所によって違った高揚感を感じます。


またそれが楽しみでもあるんですが。



次は愛媛。


去年も楽しかった記憶がある場所なんで


暑さにも“ぜってぇ負けねぇ”で頑張りたいと思います。

Translation:

a-nation Kumamoto

Today, the summer did START.

In the middle of trouble happened to recording agency

You must be worried a lot

In this entry, I shall do my apologize

I’d like to give more information regarding the case for you

However, for now I haven’t known the exact details of the case

Therefore I couldn’t afford you anymore information

Every year, we’re traveling to many different cities for a-nation

I always feel different exaltation feeling depending on the location
The selfishness to being joyful all by myself

Next arena is Ehime.

The place where we had such fond memory from last year

Everyone’s getting hype and defeated the hot weather. I’m looking forward to that.
