In the tradition of the “Finish the XXX story…” threads, help finish this awkward English translation of a chart-sweeping J-pop song: Love! Star! Freedom! Shining through the night of our dreams, SWEEPING WIND baby, baby… ---

Is this a real song or just a hypothetical one? ---

Considering some of the songs I’ve seen for animes, I could be here for quite a while. But the classics are always the ones that have random English thrown in there. And, of course, I can’t remember any of them off the top of my head, except for “going your days, grow up” from _Nadesico_. I suppose that’s what I get for watching the entire series while excersing and not being able to get to the DVD remote. ---

Every time go every line For the mind let me go faith way No one’s gonna stop beats and flow Just a one little thing, Each one of us, one another Life goes on Something new? What’s your dream? Try me boy So shine we are! Wow What’s your news? We are Paradise now To be dance forever dream party party wow wow Just call myself The truth is within me Suckin’ jerks Oh No! The truth is all in me One of these is made up, the other three are real song lyrics. Personally, I don’t think I can compete. ---

I am very, very happy to say that I only recognized one song in that list, **Sublight**. Somehow, it’s good to know that my brain isn’t as polluted by useless jpop trivia as I thought it had been. Though it’s been polluted enough for me to point out that song #2 is by a Korean artist. And I leave you with these words of wisdom: > [@](#): > > Cause we’re dreamer, never say die > I don’t need some drugs, I want myself > Stand in block our ways something > We lead too fuckin’ hard life ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by jovan \* > \*\*Though it’s been polluted enough for me to point out that song #2 is by a Korean artist. \*\* That’s true, but I figured since it was written for a Japanese audience (and may well have been written by a Japanese producer), it should count.
