Departure from Hunter x Hunter (2011) by Masatoshi Ono

Step firmly on the earth , you wake up and go
toward that angel's smile

Even if there is only me that doesn't mean iam alone
There must be meaning in my existence

I was filled with tenderness
is thanks to this blue star (the earth)

You can smile again
bathing in sunshine
You can fly away
The world is waiting for your light to shine

Step firmly on the earth , you wake up and go
toward that angel's smile
"Starting" is never too late so
No matter how many times it take, just stand up again.

Not giving up until the end
There must be meaning in continuing.

You just try again
Come out from those darkness
You just go away
The future is always waiting for us

Fly and leave behind that endless sky, go and cross that ocean
catch the kiss that angel blew (you can try)
Jump toward the wolrd
that no one has yet to see tomorow

Step firmly on the earth , you wake up and go
toward that angel's smile
Set out for a never ending adventure
anytime anywhere

Turning those flowing tears to courage and go
The angle's outstreched wings start to soar (you can fly)
Wrap up all sorrow and pain
so that i can become strong tomorow

Step firmly on the earth , you wake up and go
toward that angel's smile
"Starting" is never too late so
No matter how many times it take,!(you can try!)
No matter how many times it take,!(you can try!)
No matter how many times it take,just stand up again.

Aruiteikou from Rental Magica by Jungo Yoshida

Holding our hurt hands together again and again
Walking on this road of nothing but anxiety
Within the days that slowly flowed by
The things that we gained
Are so warm and lovely

Hey, while the time is still like this, let’s laugh and walk
Because you’re here, I can advance forward
Now our thoughts become one
And show us the road, so don’t ever let go of my hand…

When I look back, you’re always there
And I was able to walk in the deep, dark forest
Certainly we’ve stumbled
But the thread that we tied
Won’t become undone so easily

Hey, while the time is still like this, let’s support ourselves and walk
Because I’m here, we should advance forward
Now our wishes, one by one
Turn into the road, so I’ll walk on with my feet

The important thing now turns into you

Hey, while the time is still like this, let’s laugh and walk
Because you’re here, I can advance forward
Now our thoughts become one
And show us the road, so I’ll never, ever let go of my hand…

Faith from Rental Magica by Lisa Komine

Believe in yourself
Be who you want to be...

I will shed no tear, I will face my fear all alone
All the doubts in mind, I will leave behind

Lost in the dark, seek for the light
I hold out my hand into the endless night

To get through the time in strife in my life
I tell myself over to never give in

Feel your heartbeat inside you
Don't be afraid
Keep the faith
That's the key to all the doors ahead
Open up your way with the brighter hopes for today
The sun will rise upon your way

Believe in yourself
You're not alone
Believe in your strength
You'll find your way

My weakness inside is something I can't hide from your eyes
So fragile and fair, so much i can bear

Breaking the chain that binds you from pain
Through gentle rain, you're free once again

Searching for truth and love in my life
'Till I find my own I will never give up

Listen to the voice of your heart
Deep in your soul
Keep the faith
Let it work a miracle in your life
Never look back on sorrow and let go of your pain
The light of love shines upon your way

Feel your heartbeat inside you
Don't be afraid
Keep the faith
That's the key to all the doors ahead
Open up your way with the brighter hopes for today
The sun will rise upon your way

Believe in yourself
You're not alone
Believe in your strength
You'll find your way

Sora ni Saku from Rental Magica by Lisa Komine

Play your dream and overcome the night

The shadow of the waxing and waning red moon gently
Shakes the heartbeats of sadness
The wandering gravity
Reflects in my eyes
And the truth that overcomes the dark nights of loneliness is in my chest

Kindness will turn into strength
Don’t be afraid of believing
The twinkling that blooms in the universe eternally
Embraces the voice of time

Play your dream and let me hear it
Wind, convey my courage

Oh, the song of the rain of flowers fluttering down
Make the true spirit of words bloom
I’ll surround the guiding
With my hands
I’ll grab the miracle that can fulfill my distant and fleeting wishes

Don’t forget about feeling
The unpretentious, certain things
With my seemingly scratched fingertips
That’s right, I wipe away my tears

Kindness will turn into strength
Don’t be afraid of believing
The twinkling that blooms in the universe eternally
Embraces the voice of time

Wind, convey my strength
Now I’ll pledge my courage

Harmonia from Naruto by Rythem

Can you hear me?

The sky is limitless and blue
The sea is endlessly large
To you, please remain smiling or else I'll cry

You don't have to look around now
Because everyone are in these hands

Wanting to cry, wanting to run
If you forget happiness then everyone sing
Light was born and dark was born, the two are one
Feeling harmonia, telepathy

Can you hear me?

The cloud is white and drifts aimlessly
The rain isn't black and crying anymore
When you look up, you'll notice that single line
Someday, the heart calls hallelujah

The heart that searches for an unchanging song
Can you see that we're all connected with an unseen thread?

Feeling lonely, at the brim of being alone
If you're buried, close your eyes and sing
Even if we're apart, on that same land,
Under that mistletoe
Feeling harmonia, telepathy

Can you hear me?

To that dreamer, with love
I will deliver happiness to wherever so everyone laugh

If you forget happiness then everyone sing
Light was born and dark was born, the two are one
The final harmonia, telepathy

Can you hear me?

Wind from Naruto by Akeboshi

Cultivate your hunger before you idealize.
Motivate your anger to make them all realize.
Climbing the mountain, never coming down.
Break into the contents, never falling down.

My knee is still shaking, like I was twelve,
Sneaking out of the classroom, by the back door.
A man yelled at me twice though, but I didn't care.
Waiting is wasting for people like me.

Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

You say, "Dreams are dreams.
"I ain't gonna play the fool anymore."
You say, "'Cause I still got my soul."

Take your time, baby, your blood needs slowing down.
Breach your soul to reach yourself before you gloom.
Reflection of fear makes shadows of nothing, shadows of nothing.

You still are blind, if you see a winding road,
'Cause there's always a straight way to the point you see.

Don't try to look so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Don't try to live so wise.
Don't cry 'cause you're so right.
Don't dry with fakes or fears,
'Cause you will hate yourself in the end.

Haruka Kanata from Naruto by Asian Kung-Fu Generation

Hit the gas! There's no need to finagle, oh yeah!
We'll go all through the night.
I'll complain at the end, the balance is zero, oh yeah!
We'll whittle the days away...

When you open your heart a little, and pull someone close to you,
Your feelings will surely reach them deeper, yeah...

Hurry it up! Wring it out!
Though my legs are all tangled, they will surely take me far...
Even if I steal it and manage to grasp it,
If it isn't you, then what's the point?

So I'll go further and further away!

Hit the gas! There's no need to finagle, oh yeah!
We'll go all through the night.
I'll complain at the end, the balance is zero, oh yeah!
We'll whittle the days away...

When you open your heart a little, and pull someone close to you,
Your feelings will surely reach them deeper, yeah...

Hurry it up! Wring it out!
Though my legs are all tangled, they will surely take me far...
Even if I steal it and manage to grasp it,
If it isn't you, then what's the point?

So I'll go far into the distance...

Your world will become a thing of deceit
painted all in white...

Rocks from Naruto by Hound Dog

Come on!

As if you are being chased, you are in a hurry.
This dry heart is screaming.
This stubbornly burning star.
Is still far away.
I have been losing while I'm seeking.
I have been robbed while I'm giving it.
For no one, no one's property.
This is our "now".

Overlap our feeling.
Overlap the dream.
Overlap the days sweating.
Holding the tears.
Stirring the blood.

Fighting and loving.
It's just a far light on the way.
I have been betraying while I'm believing.
I haven been hurting while I'm praying.
It's no one's business, it's no one's fault.
Our now.
Untie the pain.
Untie the heart.
Untie the shadow.
Hold the breath.
Run through the darkness.
Feeling grief and dreaming.
Will never end on the way.

I wanna ROCKS.
In the heart ROCKS.

Cycling Recycle from Keroro Gunsou by Kirin

I found a bright red TV
I brought it home on my bike
It was on a slightly warm night
I found a dresser yesterday
I brought it home on my bike
I wonder what I'll find tomorrow?
Cycling Recycling

An accident happen
More curry sauce, the better
Always deal rock first in rock-paper-scissors
All human experiences are good

Ah...
In this room without furniture
lives the poor, penniles me
I raise my head up and ride that bike forward!!
There's no seat, but "I have pedals"

I found a bright red TV
I brought it home on my bike
It was on a slightly warm night
The bikes keep moving forward!
It carries my big dreams and my furniture
I'm sure I'll find something tomorrow!

You-You-You from Keroro Gunsou by Polysics

The sound that resonates and reaches
Its always connected afterwards right?
The words that you sing, from this visible view
These kinds of things put me to sleep

The rain suddenly stops
And its bright outside
Buy a umbrella and be careful
And thrive

You-You-You First off you gotta be all right
Then hurry up and become bigger
Tomorrow becomes a match
So hurry and go to meet it

The sound will become a wave before long
Which will always remain here
To meet the person which I talked about,
Such things make me sleep

The sky begins to crack and weep,
However even if the moon's saddle should fall
It will attack to defend it!

You-You-You First off you gotta be all right
Then hurry up and become bigger
Tomorrow becomes a match
So hurry and go to meet it

You-You-You First off you gotta be all right
Then hurry up and become bigger
Tomorrow becomes a match
So hurry and go to meet it

So hurry and go to meet it

Hareru Michi ~Uchuujin (Omeera) Awaseru Kao ga nee!~ from Keroro Gunsou by JichoKacho

I hope tomorrow's a clear day
for both the weather and my heart.

I hope tomorrow's filled with laughters
for the earth, the universe, and me.

If you wait for things to happen
life is not fun at all(night).

If you work hard
something good might happen(come on yo).

A gold coin for a cat, a pearl on a pig's neck, the tailor makes a man, reading a bible to a horse's ear.

Hammering a nail into a grain, if you live long enough it becomes your hometown, 800 lies, a drifting kappa.

Poison for a globefish, a snare for an octopus, i don't have any noodle soup for you!

Doing the laundry, washing the bathtub and cleaning the hallway, little frogs should go back home!

All the useful things i've gathered..

If i turn those into dreams, then there will be a day when they become useful.

That is how we unfold the path of our lives.

Bouken Suisei from Tales of the Abyss by Kurumi Enomoto

Let's find them again, on our own
The things that disappeared because they were too far away
The things we erased because there were too many of them near us
The weakness that was called becoming strong from only our wounds

In the backpack, while partly dreaming and partly worrying
The photograph we can't throw away splits to the east and the west
The view we saw from the binoculars
We chose a different map

There are no feelings when I'm all alone
Even when we're together, the same loneliness exists
We can't hold hands just by drawing near
A warmth exists

While wishing for the want to love
At the end of it, we averted our fearful eyes

Let's remember again, on our own
The things we couldn't overcome and laughed at
The things we overcame and went through too many times
The emptiness we'll know when we're able to do something
Someday, surely, I'll be waiting

Come; from now on, let's put on the shoes of promises and regrets
We laughed and waved our hands from atop the hyperbola in the beginning day
If we went around our respective stars and darkness
Let's meet in the galaxy

While wishing to never be separated
The whereabouts of our separating gravities

Let's search again, on our own
Our happy places and the range of our sadness
Feeling our longings and ascertaining them
The strength we'll know when we're unable to do something
Someday, surely

If we met in a journey where we shouldn't meet

By my own orbit and light, burning my heart and turning into voice
Connecting, a truthful melody is born
That beat and period will grasp the meaning of birth
There is a place where things like the meaning of living is surpassed

This song that connects me to you
While singing, while hesitating
I am now in the middle of a journey
On my own, I presented a single one
In the middle of the world

Let's find them again, on our own
The things we kept at a distance because they were too far away
The things we changed because there were too many of them near us
The weakness that is called becoming strong from only our wounds

From that honesty, our strength would, on the contrary, present
The whereabouts of our tears
Then, surely
In the crossroads of the real journey
Even now, always
The beginning of the two of us are
Waiting
Waiting

Karma from Tales of the Abyss by Bump of Chicken

A glass ball was dropped
When I chased it, another one was dropped
In a single spot of sunshine, only one remains

When their existences began, reluctantly, people take up space
So that it won't be taken away, they protect it

Even though I kept my hands clean, they looked dirty
Before I doubt my memories, my memories doubt me

Surely, we will meet
The same sound of our beats becomes a sign

I am here; because I'll always be calling
When our worn out reasons overlap and sway
We'll understand the meaning of our birth

As our existence continues
Because we can't help it, we take up space
In a single spot of sunshine
The two of us can't fit

A glass ball was dropped
When it fell, something broke out
In the place we fought for, we basked in the sun

These footsteps we've counted
We realized they were nothing more than numbers
The thing we must understand is somehow in the space between one and zero

For the first time, we will meet
The same flag of our cries becomes a sign
Don't forget, because I'll always be calling
When we bury the overlapping reasons
The promise will be exchanged

Like mirrors, the two of us
Are to reflect each other's karma
Our dirtied hands touch and feel our shapes

You're here; I definitely feel you
We are in a single spot of sunshine

Don't forget, because I'll always be calling
From the inside of the same glass ball

Yes, we will surely meet
When a cross is built on the buried reasons
The promise will be fulfilled
We will become one

Perseus from Letter Bee ~Reverse~ by Yamazaru

If I should make a wish upon a shooting star
I would be at that place with you again, hand in hand
star-shaped cherry blossoms bloomed like petals asleep for over a thousand matters

a heart reborn quickly from contented nights and anxious tomorrows
joy that blossomed from the unexpected
these were the things I received from you
to be able to return once again as soon as I say it
to when you were hiding your hands behind your back
for the feelings I couldn’t see at that time
right now I want my thank you to reach you

if I should make a wish upon a shooting star
I would be at that place with you again, hand in hand
the sky I’ve forgotten about is a monochrome
perhaps someday this letter will return it to its original form
should this wish bear fruit even after an eternity
I would like to meet you again at that place
star-shaped cherry blossoms bloomed like petals asleep for over a thousand matters

your warmth was locked up in my heart waiting to turn old
this illusion that trickery has cast over me
has been concealed by tears of happiness
but you know right? we can’t go back
to when you were hiding your hands behind your back
the feelings you had in them at that time
it was my weakness for being unable to see it

if I should make a wish upon a shooting star
I would like to hold hands with all of you at that place
the sky I’ve forgotten about is a monochrome
perhaps someday this letter will return it to its original form
should this wish bear fruit even after an eternity
I would like to meet all of you at that place
star-shaped cherry blossoms bloomed like petals asleep for over a thousand matters

look here, at those dull days
when I took it for granted that you were by my side
because I thought it’d always be like that
I didn’t even care; things were just like that

if I should return to the place where I wished for that moment
I would be at that place with you again, hand in hand
to meet tears of sadness
and bear the pain of separation with no healing
I shall uphold this wish that a day will come when
we can say goodbye to this separation
when monochrome turns to sepia
someday i will see you again
someday, at that place
