Good evening,
It's Kakizaki Memi.

I love UVERworld, and on February 1st their new song
Itteki no Eikyou ("The Effect One Drop Can Have") came out!

I bought it on the day it came out ～(*´-`)

Itteki no Eikyou is really a good song...
I felt like crying (*ToT)

I really like the coupling song Emu, too!

UVERworld's lyrics reach my heart (´ー`*)

Ahh. I want to go to a live~~!!!!

All of UVERworld's songs are good. Please have a listen, everyone ♪

1. Adults Don't Believe Me

There's nothing good going on.
Every day is boring.
There's nothing I want to do.
I don't have a single dream.

My heart keeps on screaming
But no-one is listening
(help!)

Adults don't believe me.
I'm so alone
But they don't see I'm in the depths of despair.
And why? Believe me I really wanna die, don’t ya know?
Why? No way I can find my sign.

Somewhere on a pile of garbage
Crows are cawing.
I don't care if people hate me
I don't want anything like love.

Bokutachi no Sensou translated lyrics

Here is my attempt at a translation of Bokutachi no Sensou. The driving main rhythm, punctuated by many smaller rhythms from the voices, made this one of my early favorites on the Futari Saison CD.

Our War

When I heard that your father was against us being together
I threw the plastic bottle beside me against the wall.
The cap came off and foam surged out without stopping (feelings)
What does he know about me?

What "calm down"?
If you convince me to,
What kind of face should I make?
Just give up and leave?
Who will you find who's
Better suited to you than me?

There is only one love.
If we lose it here, we'll never find another.
Don't let go of my hand.
Whatever happens
I'll give my life to making you happy.
WOW-WOW-WOW

How much bubble-gum
Will I have to blow
To sigh out this gloom deep in my chest?

Squatting by a trashcan in the schoolyard
Gazing up at the cloudy sky,
I know life is not just good things.
Someday I will look back at "youth".

Stand up from depression!
All you have to do is take a step forward.
Feeling down is inevitable,
Slowly raise yourself and get moving.
You won't be running along with a cool aura,
But you will live on somehow.
Just turn it around and start smiling
And your negativity will be gone.
