Song Saturday! Aoi by Sakanaction

This song doesn't have a music video attached, so this is the best I could do.

Anyway, I've been obsessed with this band for awhile. This song is one of my favorites. It also works as a writing prompt because the song is about how inexperience is pain. I never thought about it until this song, but starting something new is painful! You don't know what you're doing, just trying to scramble and figure things out - it's hard!





Here's the translated English lyrics:

Original / Romaji Lyrics English Translation
Aosa  omoidaseba mata mieta  mata mieta
Atarashii sugata no yukusue wo  yukusue wo

If I recalled the blue, I could see it again
Where the new forms would reach, where they'd reach

Aosa  omoidaseba  mata mieta  mata mieta
Wakai ano sugata to umi no oto  umi no oto

If I recalled the blue, I could see it again
That young form and the sound of the sea, the sound of the sea

Aa  fukaku aoi to iu zekkou no sedai de
Itai hodo honnou de odotte

Ah, in the best generation that is deeply blue
Dance with your instinct so much it hurts

Aosa  kamihitoe no ayausa yo  ayausa yo
Sore wa azayakasa to kirisuteta  kirisuteta

The blue is a danger that's paper-thin
I cut it off as mere vibrance, I cut it off

Aa  fukaku aoi to iu zekkou no sedai de
Itai hodo honnou de odotte

Ah, in the best generation that is deeply blue
Dance with your instinct so much it hurts

Aoi to iu rettoukan  sutete
Itai hodo honnou de odotte

Throwing away the sense of inferiority due to your inexperience
Dance with your instinct so much it hurts

Kimi wa sono wakasa wo kakaete wa 
Itsuka toorisugite kawaru darou
Kawaru darou
Sagasu darou
Sono iro wa
Fukai ao

Surely, you will carry that youth
And change someday while passing by
Surely, you will change
You will search
That colour
Would be a deep blue

Aa  fukaku aoi to iu zekkou no sedai de
Itai hodo honnou de odotte

Ah, in the best generation that is deeply blue
Dance with your instinct so much it hurts

Aoi to iu rettoukan  sutete
Itai hodo honnou de odotte

Throwing away the sense of inferiority due to your inexperience
Dance with your instinct so much it hurts.
