Hanasaku Iroha Op 1. [Full] - Hana no Iro (The Colour Of The Flower)

Performance/Arrangement: nano.RIPE
Lyrics / Music: Kimiko

Original / Romaji Lyrics & English Translation

Namida no ame ga hoo wo tataku tabi ni utsukushiku

When the rain of tears falls down and hits my cheeks, it’s a beautiful thing.

Kudaranai ruuru kara hamidasezu ni naite ita   boyakesugita mirai chizu 
Surihetta kokoro wo umetakute atsumeta   iranai mono bakari

Unable to step outside the stupid rules, I cried. My map of the future was too blurry. 
Wanting to fill up my worn-down heart, I just gathered things I didn’t need.

Baibai  ano itoshiki hibi wa modori wa shinai kara

Goodbye, I say, because those beloved days won’t come back.

Hiraite yuku  chiisaku tojita kokoro ga yoru no sumi de shizuka ni 
Irodzuiteku  motto fukaku yasashiku asa no hikari wo ukete

In the corner of the night, quietly, my little closed heart is starting to open up. 
My color is changing to a deeper and gentler shade as I take in the morning light.

Namida no ame ga hoo wo tataku tabi ni utsukushiku

When the rain of tears falls down and hits my cheeks, it’s a beautiful thing.

Dareka no ashita wo tada ureetari nageitari suru koto ga yasashisa nara 
Surihetta kokoro wa omou yori mo kantan ni umerare ya shinai ka na

If just being concerned and grieving for someone’s future is called kindness, 
Maybe my worn-down heart will be filled more easily than I thought.

Nanikai datte machigaeru kedo owari wa shinai nara 
Warattetai na

I make countless mistakes, but if it won’t end, 
I want to laugh.

Tojite yuku  zutto kakushiteta kizu ga yoru no sumi de shizuka ni 
Tsunagatteku  itsuka hagureta subete ga asa no hikari wo ukete

In the corner of the night, quietly, the wounds I’ve always hid are staring to close up. 
Someday, everything that went astray will come together and take in the morning light.

Hiraite uku  chiisaku tojita kokoro ga yoru no sumi de shizuka ni 
Irodzuiteku  motto fukaku yasashiku asa no hikari wo ukete

In the corner of the night, quietly, my little closed heart is starting to open up. 
My color is changing to a deeper and gentler shade as I take in the morning light.

Chikadzuiteku   nando to naku yoru wo koe kinou yori sora no hou e 
Tama ni karenagara   sou shite mata hikari ni me wo hosome fukaku kokyuu wo shite

I pass through countless nights and move closer to the sky than I was the day before. 
While I wilt sometimes, I squint into the light and take a deep breath again.

Namida no ame ga hoo wo tataku tabi ni utsukushiku

When the rain of tears falls down and hits my cheeks, it’s a beautiful thing.

Golden Sun Series: Golden Sun, The Lost Age, and Dark Dawn

In The View of A Fan.

No words can properly explain just how much this game series means to me. I first played it back in 2003, and I continue to play it today. 

This game has been with me through the most crucial times of my life. When I first began it, I was at one of the most life-changing times, in which not only the environment around me changed, but my personality as a whole began to change; both for the good and bad. Taking out most of the sappy detail, let’s just say that it was a tough time during the years of 03-04. 

This game came to me at the end of 2003. I was still pretty young, and the knowledge of JRPGs was still a little new. When I played this game, though, it literally opened my eyes, and it had my mind ranting off a new world; something to get my mind off of my changing reality. After I finished both, I still continued to play them. From that day on, every time I felt as if I were down, I returned to one of them and I felt right at home.

The music, most especially, helped me learn to appreciate what I hear around me. Today when I plug in those headphones and listen to the music of Golden Sun, a wave of shivers and nostalgia fills me. In some ways, it saddens me; but in others, it makes me smile and feel like a child all over again.

The release of Dark Dawn on November 2010 really was amazing. The timing couldn’t be any better; at its release, I was facing the hardest time I ever had during the year of 2010. There was a lot of things going on, but Dark Dawn came at the right time. 

This may sound like a crazy, unrealistic post on how a game changed my life; but to me, it’s realistic. I have so many emotions over this game. Though I’ve come to love new fandoms that have come in and out of my life, Golden Sun always had a special place in my heart. I have never fallen out of it, and it’s become a big part of my life mentally and emotionally.

And so, I end with this:

Thank you, Camelot and Nintendo for creating a game that has watched me grow, develop, and be the person I am.

Thank you, Motoi Sakuraba, for creating one of the best video game soundtracks I have ever known, and opening my horizons to other soundtracks you and others have created.

And Thank You, Golden Sun and Characters, for, in all your animated, 2-D/3-D forms, have made me smile, laugh, cry, and be myself through all these years, even as the environments and people around me change.

Thank You.
