The observant of you will have noticed that “The Spirit of This Place” is now a link on the sidebar. This means that I am offering it for download, since I have now officially graduated and this is my graduation theme song. So go and download it already! I have the lyrics in the full entry. Plus the full translation.<\/p>\n
[Note to Neale: Yes, I am reading the Xanth series. How did you guess?]

nani ge naku itsumo aruiteta rouka ni
\nmada osanakatta warai koe ga hibiite wa kieru
\nanna ni adokenakatta noni
\nmou konna ni ookikunachatta yo
\nano koro wa nanimo kangaete inakatta noni
\n
\nThe young laughter echoes and fades away
\nin the familiar halls where we used to walk
\nWe were so innocent
\nBut we have grown so fast
\nWe never considered anything, then
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
We are graduating!
\nbokura wo tsukutte iru kakera
\nsore ga kimi ya ano hito to no omoide
\nbokura ga tashikani koko ni sonzaishita shouko ga
\nThe spirit of this place
\n<\/p>\n
We are graduating!
\nThe fragments that build me
\nAre the memories with you and them
\nThe proof of our existence here is surely in
\nThe spirit of this place
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
furikaettemireba itazurani
\ntanoshii toka tsuman’nai toka itteta kedo
\nitsushika bokura no senaka ni wa hitotsu-zutsu
\niro no chigau hane ga haete kiteta
\nbetsubetsu no michi ayumu koto wakatteta noni
\n
\nWhen I look back, I was pointlessly
\nRepeating ‘this is fun’ or ‘this is boring’
\nBut before we realized, on each of our backs were born
\nWings of different colours
\nEven though we knew we would follow our own paths
\n<\/i>
\nWe are graduating!
\nookiku yasashiku tsuyoku hashiridasou
\nhanarete mo bokura wo tsunagu omoide
\njishin wo otokkotoshite mayou toki ni mo
\nYou have the spirit of this place
\nWe are graduating!
\nLet’s run, grandly, gently, mightily
\nThe memories that connect us despite the distance
\nEven when you have lost your confidence, even when you lose your way
\nYou have the spirit of this place
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
nakaniwa de no hirune KAFE no zawameki the echo in the gym
\nkowareta BURAINDO goshi FIIRUDO wo utsu ame
\nROKKAA wo tojiru oto mo zenbu zenbu
\n
\nThe midday nap in the courtyard, the noise of cafeteria, the echo in the gym
\nThrough the tattered blinds, the rain striking the field
\nThe closing lockers, all the sounds, all of them
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
arigatou
\nKENKA mo kuyashinamida mo
\nnakanaori no kisses & hugs mo zenbu zenbu
\narigatou
\n
\nThank you for
\nThe fights, the tears
\nThe kisses and hugs of making up, for everything, everything
\nThank you
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
We are graduating!
\nkono saki de machiukete iru michi no kaze ni
\nnagasaresou ni natte mo makeru mon ka
\ndatte look at yourself
\nima bokura wa ichiban ni kagayaite iru
\nWith the spirit of this place
\n
\nWe are graduating!
\nThe unknown future wind that awaits ahead
\nWe will not be defeated even if we get blown away
\nBecause look at yourself
\nNow, we are shining most brilliantly
\nWith the spirit of this place
\n<\/i><\/p>\n
