Two months and 75 songs later, we're ready for launch!

So wow, I've been working on this site for almost two months, and I think I'm pretty much set on how I want things to look. First thing to note is that I have decided to change the blog name from Spiegelscythe Lyrics to Kagami Lyrics. Spiegelscythe is my username for Blogger, and I initially went with it because it was something I could use quickly when I created the site. It's also a name I've been using for years for various other things, and it serves as a kind of identity for myself. And although it has meaning for me and other people that know it, in a public sense it probably doesn't mean anything to everyone else. So I went with something that is less personal but still gives me a sense of identity with my site. The word 'kagami' (鏡) is the Japanese word for 'mirror,' and it shares the same meaning as the 'spiegel' part of 'spiegelscythe,' which in German, also means 'mirror.' Having a combination German/English word as the title for a blog hosting Asian pop lyrics just didn't seem quite right, and I think 'kagami' will work much better. As for the 'Kashi no Basho" part, it might not be necessary, but it seems to be helping my site get hits from Japan (especially people searching for '歌詞'). So it will stay!

Second note! Since I started this blog I've been adding lyrics fairly consistently, and I've now made it up to 75 songs! This is including the ones I added that were already done the site was created, as well as the ones I've added since. Right now I'm getting a new song lyric posted every other day or so. I think this will be my pace for a now, I want to keep updating the site while still allowing time to get other things done.

After all of this time and effort that I put into building this site, I'm glad to say that it's finally done! There's not much more I want to add except for more content for the time being. So no more big changes for now, and anything else I want to do, I'll make an announcement about it. I'm also deciding to drop adding images for the artists in the Lyrics Index. It's still up for consideration, but I just don't feel like working on it now, or feel that it's necessary right now. My major goals for the site are still the same, and I'll of course still be working to get those done. The biggest step was just getting the site completed.

Alright, I think I've bored you long enough now. Feel free to post any questions or comments you have about the site, and I hope you can find those lyrics you're looking for. じゃまた次のアップデート。


What I've Completed:
・Fix the 'About Me' box on the right side (I just removed it altogether, much better now I think.)
・Finish the 'About This Site' page/tab (This is finally done, more or less the last big thing I had to do)


New Things to Add to My Collection:
・BENI - Fortune (album)
・Meisa Kuroki - Unlocked (album)


Goals:
・Become a CDJapan affiliate
・affiliate with other sites (blogs, forums, etc.)

school food punishment - futuristic imagination

Kanji:

夜は封印　戸感い混じれば　終わる
迷い出すくらいなら　いっそ　理由も捨てよう

また　夢に溺れる　不確かに続いてく未来
まだ　君を許せる　意味を知れる

耳を澄ますための夜
その理由を真似て　変われる
君の呼吸を知るために　未来の根を切っても構わない

巻き戻す前に涙は枯らそう
吹き飛ぶような覚悟なら　今　夢に帰ろう

また　揺れる言葉が　耳鳴りのようにリピートしてる
今　わかる　君なら消えてくれる

また　夢に溺れる
今　醒める
明日　消える　君を許せる
意味を知れる

君にとって　間違いの定義を教えて　変われる?
意味を持っていれるなら　未来は忘れても　構わない

耳を澄ますための夜
その理由を真似て　変われる
君の呼吸を知るために　未来の根を切っても構わない

未来の根を切っても構わない


Romaji:

Yoru wa fuuin　tomadoi majireba　owaru

Mada　kimi wo yuruseru　imi wo shireru

SCANDAL - BURN

Kanji:

心に嘘を重ねたまんま
それなりにいつもやっていたけど
ふとした時に開いた傷が
悲鳴をあげて襲いかかった

記憶の中で追いかけてく
あの日のままの少女の残像(カゲ)が
爪あとになって邪魔してるよ
見つめていたい明日だけを

涙は色褪せる　景色を隠してる
BURN BURN BURN 燃え上がって
弱い自分自身を 甘える淋しさを
BURN BURN BURN 焼きつくして
消してしまえ ここから

「とっくに知ってる 自分の性格」
そんな言い訳はもうやめにしなくちゃ

越えられないと諦めてた
傷つかない為の足枷は
自由の意味も奪い去ったよ
壊してしまえ今すぐに

抜け出せない現在(イマ)を 優しい過去さえも
BURN BURN BURN その向こうへ
やりきれない日々に 冷めきった自分を
BURN BURN BURN 焼きつくして
進んで行く 未来へ

涙は色褪せる　景色を隠してる
BURN BURN BURN 燃え上がって
弱い自分自身を 甘える淋しさを
BURN BURN BURN 焼きつくして
消してしまえ ここから


Romaji:

Kokoro ni uso wo kasaneta manma
Sorenari ni itsumo yatteita kedo
Futoshita toki ni hiraita kizu ga
Himei wo agete osoiukakatta

Kioku no naka de oikaketeku
Ano hi no mama no shoujo no KAGE ga
Tsumeato ni natte jama shiteru yo
Mitsumeteitai asu dake wo

石川智晶 (Chiaki Ishikawa) - squall

Kanji:

どこからか拾ってきた
細長い枝で自分を囲むように線をかいた
誰も入って来ないで
ここは静寂の樹海
長い雨ひたすら待つ
向こう側　向日葵の群衆
毒々しいものをどこまで避けて
世界を語るつもりなんだろう?

待ちわびた　squall
震えるほど圧倒されたいんだ
通り一遍等の言葉と温度はもう効かない
あの日の砂場に打ちまけた
白く潔いフラグメンツに深く染み込む

悲しい自伝を喜ぶ花たち
なんて単純になびく風よ
この世の正しいこと鼻歌に変わってく
平然と咲き誇る　黄色の花の愛想笑い
乾き切って種をぼろぼろ落として
苦い味がする季節の連鎖を

深い霧の中
狂おしいほど完成されたいんだ
太陽が指差したものだけの価値の中で
微笑んでいられるものかと叫ぶ
鳥肌がたつように空が騒ぎだす

雨の前兆は壊れやすくって
両手で体をそっと抱きしめる
汗ばむ首筋が緊張を誘って
そう誰もが上がって行ける訳じゃない
squall・・・・

震えるほど圧倒されたいんだ
通り一遍等の言葉と温度はもう効かない
あの日の砂場に打ちまけた
白く潔いフラグメンツに深く染み込む

Kono yo no tadashii koto hanauta ni kawatteku

Taiyou ga yubisashita mono dake no kachi no naka de
Hohoendeirareru mono ka to sakebu

上木彩矢 (Aya Kamiki) - Infinity

Kanji:

駆け抜けた時間(とき)の中　変わらない街の音
いつからか間違い探しばかり　振り返って

24時間の中　思い出す余裕も無くて
誰かの背中追いかけた　あの日の夢を

言葉にできないツライ時も　太陽が君をいつでも照らし出すだろう

Bright blue sky　負けないように
開かないドアを蹴って　今から空の向こうへ　さぁ
どうなっても逃げたくはない　そのココロを信じて
無限のステージまで

晴れのち雨の日でも　曇りのち雨の日でも
いつかは晴れ渡るこの空を　ただ見ていた

変わる事を恐れては　前には進めなくて
乾いた風に身をまかせ　未来(あした)の夢を

言葉にできない不安な日々も　太陽が君をいつでも照らし出すだろう

Bright blue sky　走り出そう
果てしなく長い道を　今から虹の向こうへ　さぁ
どうなっても逃げたくはない　そのココロを信じて
無限のステージまで

聞こえる?　伝わる?　今なら

Bright blue sky　負けないように
開かないドアを蹴って　今から空の向こうへ　さぁ
どうなっても逃げたくはない　そのココロを信じて
無限のステージまで
