I just wondered if anyone knows where I could get the lyrics to the song Airport by Toshi? I tried to look them up in both English and Japanese but can't find anything and it seems Samurai Japan isn't for sale outside Japan anymore. If I can get the Japanese lyrics I can translate it here.

Edit: I just realized this might be better in the "Help" tab. Admins please move it if needed.

Samurai Japan. I can't even find a copy to buy except for one on Japan Discoveries website and for some reason when I try to buy it there's nowhere to put payment or PayPal information. The whole album is here. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivh-DSVXy5s This is the song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pob28oBc4jw Unfortunately Toshi sings a bit low in parts to completely make out what he's saying and in Japanese class I was better at reading and writing than speaking and hearing. The reason I want to find the lyrics is because it's the first song Toshi made after escaping HoH and apparently the one where he calls them out. That most likely explains why he sings low at times but he does sound pissed, the song is great and Sugizo is incredible on both acoustic and electric guitars.

@ottkaji some parts of the website still use Adobe Flash (which is outdated) and maybe depending on the browser you're using they might not display  :-\

I think you can pay also via international money order also? However I agree that it might be annoying since it requires a post office to be issued

This is my first actual translation and I may have filled in what may have been meant to be incomplete sentences as well as the fact that a lot can be up to interpretation but here it is.

ToshI Airport Lyrics.

MEMORY GOODBYE MEMORY GOODBYE
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS

Right now I have already lost the ability
to believe in the things I've done and the incredible lies.
Even with what I was told to sing I have already abandoned
what you're certainly familiar with after a truly important encounter.
That's why one must start a new journey.
Bid farewell to confusion and sorrow
and in misery head to the airport.
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS

Waking up in the morning to discover
all my disrespectful beliefs were nothing but a lie.
After losing my singing voice
This time I wont turn back. Leave that long distant dream to vanish.
That's why one must start a new journey.
Every day running away from the deception.
Cut up and abandoned at the airport.
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS

That single word that was impossible to say.
Every day hating the truth.
That's why one must start a new journey.
Everything was a mistake and ruled my heart.
A shining futures airport.
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS
MEMORY

Here's the original lyrics in case anyone wants to check for themselves.

MEMORY GOODBYE MEMORY GOODBYE
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS

今はもう 忘れたい
信じてたことも うそのように
歌うことさえも 忘れたい
必ず 見つけるよ 本当に大切な出会い
だから 人は 旅に出る
悲しみ とまどい 別れ告げ
せつない 想いの エアポート
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS

目覚めた朝に 知ったこと
信じられない うそばかりに
歌う声さえも 失った
時は戻せない 夢はるか遠く消え去ってゆく
だから 人は 旅に出る
ごまかし 逃げてた 毎日を
断ち切り 捨て去る エアポート
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS

Oh
その一言 言えなかった
本当は いつも いやだった
だから 人は 旅に出る
すべてを 失い 心決め
輝く 未来の エアポート

MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS
MEMORY GOODBYE WITH MY TEARS
MEMORY

not surprisingly the lyrics are heartbreaking...

you did a wonderful job, perhaps you should post them on Toshi's Genius.com page?

And it looks like it only shows up if you're logged in. I guess it has to be approved.

thank you ottkaji,

maybe we should made a translation section in the forum?

Is anyone willing to help me and do a little moderation jobs? Mostly for spam

I would like a translation section too as well as a translation request section and would gladly volunteer to help. If you're willing to give me moderation status I could help in keeping the spam off and blocked since I noticed there is a lot of it. Of course I'm still only at Newbie status so I don't know if that would affect anything. I just remembered I still haven't done my introduction yet so I guess I should get that taken care of.

Edit: just found the translation requests and am going through them now.
