^ i dont know where to get the lyrics... my gf is japanese and she send this to me... i think it's something bad.. i want to know the translation.. can someone please find the lyric to this song and translate it for me.. thank you....

First, there's already a "Translation" thread, so please post things like this there. Keeps it all nice and clean like. Thanks.

Second, the song title "Koko ni shika sakanai hana" means "A flower that only blooms here."

I don't have time to help you with the lyrics, but maybe someone else could?

9ŒŽ = kugatsu = September

ŒŽ9 = gekku = Dorama that is aired "Mondays at 9pm"

Monday @ 9pm is the so-called "sweet spot" for dramas (it gets the most viewers, usually).

I checked the japanese wiki and wikipedia. They do refer to gekku as getsuku.

That's how you would say that character (and number) without contractions. :mrgreen:

It would be as sad as when krim doesn't have those 1-liners of his.. which would also be pretty impossible, I think. :beaten:

Got no idea what the Kanjis are.

sore wa _______ jya nai is all I can read.

the kanji is: ‰i‰“ [‚¦‚¢‚¦‚ñ] - (adj-na,n) eternity, perpetuity, immortality, permanence.

so the translation would be this isn't for eternity?! better ask someone else about the meaning of the sentence :sweat:

Thanks so much Suave :bow: :bow:

I needed to know the hiragana so i can rename the song for my media player sense it can't read kanji.

From this phrase: ‚ä‚ñ‚½‚­“ú‹L

What does "‚ä‚ñ‚½‚­" mean?

If any of you use Firefox, there's a cool Japanese to English extension add-on where when you mouse over Japanese text a balloon pops up showing you the translation... Not perfect, of course, but cool nonetheless. :)

Was it from an Okinawan site? I believe "‚ä‚ñ‚½‚­" is Okinawan for "chat". So perhaps it is like "Chit Chat Diary".

"Rikaichan"? It is very handy! It does screw up sometimes on word boundaries, so you have to be a little careful.
