♫ English
Grass and trees become green, flowers colorfully bloom. Seasons come by again. A comfortable spring day, With out anything to do I think by myself in the tree lined street. The days go by without any break. I am struggling to manage myself here. Sometimes, let's live a life Without thinking so deeply. Morning comes, the sun rises again. Outside the window the south wind blows the pain in my heart. Shall the tears I shed in the past days be pulled into my unconsciousness. what is important is the light, I'd like to stay here a bit more.
WE GO EVERY DAY, let's go with laughter To the direction of the shining light heading into the open future ahead. WE GO EVERY DAY, let's go with laughter Like pouring water into a vase my wishes please be granted
SO The face and the tears washed by an off season rain before the rain stops, GERRA I smile with a clean face. Like that, goes away ONE WEEK. With my tired body I take ONE DRINK At the meeting place my friends are all there. like every day we spend the night chatting nonsense to continue on with these days I flap my wings like a bird. Everyone is doing their best. Don't lose; we don't have a pinch runner. Going over the people laughing at you, catch the dream you imagined into your hands. Wish to the shooting star after the rain. Now stand up my friend.
WE GO EVERY DAY, let's go with laughter To the direction of the shining light heading into the open future ahead. WE GO EVERY DAY, let's go with laughter Like pouring water into a vase my wishes please be granted
Without no reason I set off my mobile. In the far back of the noise can't you hear the voice of the wind drifting away now where and why. Obvious though, I listen on. Like putting your own future over it. Wanting something to be said about my self, is the same feeling. My life goes away bit by bit. Now I possess multiple copies of my childhood dreams. I make a stupid face as I brush my teeth in front of the mirror in the morning. Going outside. I live a day like this. I'll stop waiting for the night. Resting isn't bad, charge up your energy. quietly the city ticks away time. Connecting our dreams, we make an arch
The stair steps of a quiet day
Under the sky without the breeze, I reach out to catch tomorrow
Dragon Ash has been one of the most influential bands to build Japanese hip-hop and "mixture-kei" music (as punk combined with hip-hop is commonly referred to in Japan). The color of their music thick with western flavor. They turn on the hip-hop music with a unique mix of reggae, rap, rap-rock, punk, Spanish, and R & B influences.
This band from Tokyo was formed by Furuya Kenji and Sakurai Makoto in 1996 when they were in junior high school. By audition, they recruit Ikuzo Baba for the bassist who was 30 years old and had some experience in music industry, while Furuya and Sakurai were still only teenagers at the time. So Ikuzo selected as a mentor of the group.
Dragon Ash debuted in 1997 with joined to Victor Entertainment, and launched a mini singles The Day Dragged On. Their first album Mustang! launched in the same year. Their high school friends, Bots, joined on turntables. This was makes their music move away from punk into more "mixture-kei". Their singles success on Oricon Chart. Such as their 4th single Let yourself go, let myself go which hit on #7, and eventually climbed to #4, selling a total of 640,000 copies. Their 5th and 6th singles Grateful Days and I Love Hip Hop which debuted at #3 and #4. Grateful Days would eventually go on to #1, becoming both the first hip-hop work and the first mixture band single to reach the #1 spot on Oricon Chart.
Dragon Ash reached the peak of success after releasing third album Viva la Revolution in July 1999. The album is directly hit #1 on Oricon Chart in its debut week. The next album Lily of Da Valley did nearly as well. In 2003, Dragon Ash made a surprise with the new line-up, by adding 3 new members, Hiroki on guitar and two dancers, Dri-V and Atsushi. Some fans and critics didn’t like this change. They assumed that Dragon Ash does not need back dancers.
The best side of Dragon Ash is they are admirable. Lyrics of their songs are full of positive meaning like following one's dreams and being true to your friends and family. Unlike much American hip-hop that include threats of violence. For Japanese young people, rap is about such things sounds pretentious.

Dua jempol buat PV Dragon Ash yang ini!! d^0^b. TsunagariSUNSET, dari latest album mereka “Freedom”, bernuansa reggae dan Spanish banget. Awalnya waktu denger lagu ini gue nggak terlalu tertarik. Tapi begitu liat PV-nya, langsung naksir XD. Setelah diteliti, makna lagunya juga bagus (maklum karena nggak pinter bahasa Jepang, mesti nyari translation-nya dulu hehe…).
Gue suka banget visualisasinya yang simple, latar-belakang sunset, dan warna pencahayaan yang kesannya hangat. Waktu adegan Kj main gitar sendirian itu, rasanya pengen gue temenin XD.
Kebersamaan dapat menyatukan hati. Sekalipun berpisah, hati akan tetap terhubung. Dengan perasaan ini, membuatmu tidak merasa kesepian. Karena kau tidak pernah sendiri. Ini yang gue tangkep dari lagu ini. Makna yang dalem, video yang keren. TsunagariSUNSET ^_^
Lyric translation:
We’ve all walked in the twilight by the window
But I’m sure we’ll laugh together,
Yeah, 'couse no one is alone
Light the bonfire even if you’re feeling lonely
We’ll shine a light on each other,
Yeah, and make it through the night
We always pass each other by in the sundry city
As the streets grow dark it’s too late to wait for the light
Somehow our longing freezes us up
Look, we need someone again today…
The day are filled with anxiety
Everyone’s darkened by their insecurities
But still people want to go out and meet one another
They have long conversations that last ‘til morning
Yeah, this is how we make connections
On weekends, we put our arms around each other’s shoulders and talk
After a few drinks together we say, “see you next week”
Every week it’s like this and this contact makes me grow sleepy
I’m sure I’ll meet someone new…
Sometimes huge failures pain your heart
But we love each other and you’re dear to me
Large petals flutter and the days bloom into hope
Yeah, we are never alone
Yeah, we’ll always be crying out and needing someone
Yeah, we’ll always be uniting our voices and shining ‘til the end
We’ve all walked in the twilight by the window
But I’m sure we’ll laugh together,
Yeah, 'couse no one is alone
Our slightly tearful eyes and clenched hands
We’ve always brought them together and gathered close
People long to meet new faces, wishing to make multiple contacts
We’re crusin’, searching for connections beyond the darkness
Yeah, we’ll always be crying out and needing someone
Yeah, we’ll always be uniting our voices and shining ‘til the end
When you can’t sleep late at night I know you’re just searching
I’m sure the morning sun will shine again on our connected hearts
Yeah, we’ll always be…
