【UUBI = Useful/Useless Bits of Information】

Do you know what an image/character song is? I have a confession ... I didn't! :ashamed: ...
...until :iconmsflaffy: told me about them! I had to goggle to find out that ...

"An image song or character song is a song on a tie-in single or album (often called an image album or character album) for an anime, game, dorama, manga, or commercial product that is usually sung by the voice actor or actor of a character, in character. It is meant to give a sense of the personality of the character."

Here are SaiMono image songs, with links to where you can hear the songs, and lyrics translations by Lady Elwen which can be found here ... www.twin-elements.com/lyrics/c…

Many thanks to :iconmsflaffy:  :iconxxjoseeeyxx:  :iconkoto-wari:

"In Order To Bloom ..." ("Hanasaku you ni ...")

the light that pours into my hands is shining within me
I keep believing in a day when everything will turn to joy
in order to bloom..

repainting the seasons, the gentle wind blows
whispering to the tightly closed buds as it passes
speaking of when they will awaken

now I will realize the wish that sprouts passionately in my heart
o rain that soaks the earth, become my courage

even on nights when my tears won't stop, I will hold high the light of my dream
wanting to illuminate the strong feelings
that are hiding beyond my pain
in order to bloom beautifully tomorrow..

glittering through the leaves, the dazzling morning returns
peacefully rocking the flower petals
which have begun to unfurl

of the thoughts hidden in my heart, look, one is opening
stretching delicately toward the blue sky

so that I don't spill the light that pours into my hands
I am embracing it
satisfied and colored by a quiet warmth
in order to bloom..

even if sighs darken over the moonlight, I want to stand with unclouded sight
the smiles that are born after sorrow
are the one thing I don't want to forget
in order to bloom beautifully tomorrow..

"Compass" ("Rashinban")

in the endlessly high skies, a flock of birds flies fearlessly
with time-traveling wings, I catch the wind and soar

knowing what I want to protect
my remembered strength definitely won't disappear
boiling with heat
the voice of truth resounds in my heart

I journey with the seasons
with the compass in my heart, I aim for the heights

even if shut in darkness, I won't stop flapping my wings
I will cross beyond the sunrise

in the endlessly high skies, I search for the meaning of its radiance
while embracing my hope, I catch the wind and soar

the answer I discovered from painful feelings
was to always look straight ahead
certain, unwavering thoughts
are what create precious moments

like spinning out one's life
the compass maps things out far beyond the present

even on days frozen with cold, I keep flying and facing forward
believing in only my wish, in order to seize it

the endlessly high skies are stained with a seven-colored rainbow
climbing upward with my wings, I catch the wind and soar

even while releasing light
the hidden compass guides everything

in the endlessly high skies, I search for the meaning of its radiance
while embracing my hope, I catch the wind

the endlessly high skies are stained with a seven-colored rainbow
climbing upward with my wings, I catch the wind and soar

"O Wind" ("Kaze yo")

your face that wavers in the moonlight is painted in the stars
as if embracing the tips of fingers that were suddenly touched
tonight I will sleep

within the changing times
lies a hidden, unchanging thing
I'll convey my smile at any time
because I promise for eternity

o wind, carry these thoughts I spin
into your tranquil dreams
with the sweet scent of unfolding petals
embracing everything

overflowing with sighs, one of my affections melts
the casual voice in my heart
is singing

if even the days that flow by
were piled together
I would bundle up my heart without regrets
being always at your side

o wind, carry my deep wish
illuminating you with warmth
so that you won't be lost on freezing nights
because I will be a bright light for you

o wind, carry these thoughts I spin
into your tranquil dreams
with the sweet scent of unfolding petals
embracing everything

tsukiyo ni yureru omokage wo hoshi ni egaite'ru
futo fureta yubi no saki wo idaku you ni
koyoi nemurou

utsurou toki no naka
himeta kawaranu mono
donna toki de mo egao todokeyou
towa ni chikau kara

kaze yo hakobe  tsumugu omoi
yasuraka na  anata no yumeji ni
hiraku hana no amai kaori de
subete dakishimeteiru yo

tameiki kobore itoshisa ga hitotsu tokete yuku
nanige naku kataru koe ga mune no oku de

nagareru hibi sae mo

oshimu koto naku kokoro tabaneyou

kaze yo hakobe  fukai negai

"Forever ..." ("Itsumademo")

the gentle warmth that lit these hands
is calmly burning in my warmed heart

a shining hope is born of overflowing smiles
I embraced it so that it wouldn't spill

this joy I want to protect can slowly dye
the path that leads to you a more sunny color

flowing like the cycling seasons
it's not much, but the thought in my heart never changes
forever...

I was fulfilled by the dearness I found beyond pain
and came to know unwavering truth

this dream is reflected in unsullied eyes
I will be wishing for the day when flowers bloom

this gentleness I want to protect, these interrupted words
are quietly spinning out the distance it takes to reach you

repeating all those times when it was silently pouring
even if it's obvious, I want to remain an important place where you can come to cry
forever...

accepting everything, I embraced it, so that it wouldn't spill

this joy I want to protect can slowly dye
the path that leads to you a more sunny color

flowing like the cycling seasons
it's not much, but the thought in my heart never changes
forever...
for you...

kono te wo tomoshita yasashii nukumori ga

(link given by :iconxxjoseeeyxx:)

a single cherry blossom-colored smile bloomed in the darkness
though you trembled deep in your heart, your honest eyes were bright

the courage to keep going rather than come to a halt
all these feelings
that brought me joy instead of fear
echo in your gentle voice
like little birds flapping their wings

just by thinking of you
my believing heart grows stronger
whenever I touch you
my happiness vividly begins
I will wish for eternity

full of peace, your sleeping breath lightly brushes the flower petals
the warmth I embrace in my dreams, your small shoulders are dear to me

the strength to laugh in the face of sadness
allowing even tears
the closeness you taught me
paints a picture of freedom leading anywhere
like little birds taking flight

just by thinking of you
I can overcome my painful feelings
when touched by you
radiance illuminates the night sky
I will wish for eternity


just by thinking of you
my believing heart grows stronger
whenever I touch you
my happiness vividly begins
I will wish for eternity

kurayami no naka saita  egao hitotsu sakurairo

"Distant Sky" ("Haruka na Sora")

when my dream of long past days is granted
joy maps out a wind
that is connected to tomorrow

that precious, shining smile
seemed to tremble in the sunlight filtering through the trees
in the blowing wind, I feel you
I feel your heart that draws a dream of tomorrow

the distant sky binds the two of us
if we look up, we are dyed the same color
because we don't want to be ashamed of these certain feelings
we are walking firmly in our separate places right now

if in these hands I have a happiness I want to convey
this gentle rain
turns even hesitation into a blessing

in the moonlight obscured by flowing clouds
bluffing eyes met each other
the falling rain envelops you
in the budding answer that accepts your blessing

the distant sky illuminates the two of us
once we realize it, we are watching a similar view
in order for everyone to have peace at their side
we keep wishing for that in our respective places right now

the distant sky binds the two of us
if we look up, we are dyed the same color
because we don't want to be ashamed of these certain feelings
we are walking firmly in our separate places right now

tooi hi ni mita yume wo kanaeru tabi ni

"To the Great Earth" ("Daichi e to")

I continue to gaze
at the blue sky, the floating clouds, the quiet passage of time
I will unwaveringly follow the path that is illuminated
by the sacredness of the sunlight overflowing in my hands

whatever should await me where I arrive
I want to be someone who can laugh it off

wherever I am, whatever the time, the sun will rise
so I repeat the present I believe in
that thought which has passed long, long nights connects me
to the endless great earth

a flock of birds draw an arc
searching for the wind that distantly targets the seasons
even in new currents, they take off without hesitation
I embrace the same strength as in the sky I gaze up at

it's alright that I'm reckless
as long as I have only honest feelings about living

wherever I am, whatever the time, the sun will come around
so I begin today looking forward
I will pass the long, long nights and seize the light
beneath this wide sky

wherever I am, whatever the time, the sun's warmth
nurtures my deeply rooted courage
I can be strong, I will be strong, to keep protecting smiles
I so promise, to the great earth

"Rainbow-Colored" ("Nijiiro")

with a clenched fist
the rainbow of overflowing wishes
mounts to the sky
showing true courage

it is because people are all weak
that they learn strength
and find
the meaning of closeness and things to protect

I will walk
on this road continuing far into the distance
leaving footprints that befit me
and painting out my happiness
dreams will surely answer my wishful feelings
and come true
in my own way I will keep watching
the rainbow-colored bridge in my heart

the small fragments of a dream
that sprouted in my heart
project a broad future
and shine with swelling hope

if it can heal someone
then I want to keep laughing
beyond sorrow, overcoming hardship
I will still smile

I will tread
this road continuing far into the distance
within this scenery that befits me
I feel happiness
dreams are always the allies
of those who believe
in my own way I am embracing
and rearing the fragments of my thoughts

I will walk
on this road continuing far into the distance
leaving footprints that befit me
and painting out my happiness
dreams will surely answer my wishful feelings
and come true
in my own way I will keep watching
the rainbow-colored bridge in my heart
