[lyric] CHANGE THE WORLD by V6

I was browsing around and suddenly from one link to another, brought me to V6 and their old song, 'Change The World' (2000). When I heard the song, I felt that the song so familiar to me. Aahh.. it's Inuyasha opening song! Hahaa no wonder. I like the anime. Too bad it's not airing anymore in my country :( I remember that the ending songs of Inuyasha also beautiful, one from BoA (sorry forgot the title) and one from Ayumi? Sumimasen.. it's years ago and at that time I didn't think to find more info about it at all. But her voice sounds like Ayumi.

Anyway, back to 'Change The World' of V6. I like the song. Listening to it again bringing back to years ago...

Ok, I found the lyric and translation by Minako at Senshigakuen. I was surprised because I knew her before for Gackt's translation. So she's actually into V6 too^^.

CHANGE THE WORLD

Sung by: V6

Translated by: Mina-P (Email: Minako@senshigakuen.com)

Version 1.00

Note: This is the first V6 song I ever heard. It was the opening theme to the Inuyasha anime, which my host family little sister watched religiously while I was in Japan. Even besides the fact that I heard the song weekly, I really adored the song itself. But I was truly impressed with the song after I saw it performed live on "Music Station." Mainly because their dance was great, their performance was perfectly polished, and the most amazing thing, they actually sounded like their recording, live. I was incredibly shocked by their honest talent on a really genki song. This is really something that'll cheer you up if you're down. Yeah~!

I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD

kaze o kakenukete nani mo okorezu ni

ima yuuki to egao no kakera daite

CHANGE MY MIND

jounetsu tayasazu ni takanaru mirai e

te o nobaseba kagayakeru hazu sa IT'S WONDERLAND

I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD

Run through the storm Don't let anything upset you (1)

Now you've got to embrace the shards of courage and laughter

CHANGE MY MIND

Don't extinguish your passion into the heart-pounding future

If you stretch out your hand things will be sure to brighten up IT'S WONDERLAND


haiiro no sora no kanata nanika oitekita kimi wa mayoinagara sagashitsuzukeru

Something was left behind far off in the gray skies I'll keep searching as long as you're lost


kimi no kokoro furueteta asu no mienai yo nani mo shinjirarezu mimi o fusagu

Your heart was trembling in tomorrow's unseen nights You can't believe in anything and just shut up your heart


kimi ni deaeta toki hontou no ibasho mitsuketa

nanigenai yasashisa ga koko ni atte bokura mezameru

When I met you I finally found where I belonged

Your casual kindness greets us here we are awakened


I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD

nido to mayowanai kimi to iru mirai

katachi doreba doko made mo toberu sa

CHANGE MY MIND

jounetsu tayasazu ni shiranai ashita e

tsubasa hiroge hanebatakeru hazu sa IT'S WONDERLAND

I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD

I won't be lost again in the future where you're here with me

Some way or another we'll fly off as far as we can go

CHANGE MY MIND

Don't extinguish your passion into the unknown tomorrow

Spread your wings and you can fly away IT'S WONDERLAND


bokura wa onaji sekai o oyogitsuzuketeru tagai no negai e todoku hi made

We keep swimming through the same world Until the day when both of our wishes are granted


minna onaji fuan idaete sasaeaeru yo

tachidomaru shunkan ni mitsumeteru kono basho ni iru

Everyone holds the same unhappiness and keeps them going (2)

The instant you stop you're in the place that you've been looking for


I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD

kono te hanasazu ni mimamoru hitomi o

uketometara nani datte dekiru hazu

CHANGE MY MIND

hitori ni sasenai minna koko ni iru

donna koto mo tsukinuketeikou IT'S WONDERLAND

I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD

Don't let go of my hand If I can capture

The eyes that I'm gazing at then I can do anything

CHANGE MY MIND

I won't let you be alone everyone's right here

No matter what happens we'll get through it IT'S WONDERLAND


I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD

kaze o kakenukete nani mo okorezu ni

ima yuuki to egao no kakera daite

CHANGE MY MIND

jounetsu tayasazu ni takanaru mirai e

te o nobaseba kagayakeru hazu sa IT'S WONDERLAND

I WANT TO CHANGE THE WORLD

Run through the storm Don't let anything upset you

Now you've got to embrace the shards of courage and laughter

CHANGE MY MIND

Don't extinguish your passion into the heart-pounding future

If you stretch out your hand things will be sure to brighten up IT'S WONDERLAND


(1) The written lyrics refer to kaze (wind), but the kanji actually says shippu (hurricane). So, I went somewhere between for the two meanings and translated it as a storm.

(2) I really like this part. Sasaeaeru means not only supporting something, but to receive support back. So these by holding onto our unhappiness, we help build them, but at the same time, we won't let go because they support us somehow. Wow, go V6~!

Lyrics belong to Matsumoto Rie and Avex Trax, taken from the Volume 6 album, AVCD-11958 (track 9). Not like the words make any sense if you haven't heard the song, anyway. Romanized and translated into English very badly by Mina-P, with desperately needed help, as always, by Mako-chan. Any comments or corrections can be mailed to Mina-P at Minako@senshigakuen.com.
