(Lyrics) Sunshine - Sakurai Sho [Kanji/Romaji/Translations]

[amnosxmatsujun]

Both Sho's solo and his supervised song hit me with a sense of nostalgia. "Sunshine" is a mix of "Hey Yeah!" and "Kono mama motto" to me. What do you think? It's a very encouraging song <3

**Translator's Notes:**

1. The lyrics which appear within parentheses is actually not in the kanji transcription found in the album booklet. However, because it is crystal clear what Sho is singing there, I have decided to add it in.

2. My translations are never literal. For lyrics, I listen to a single song countless times before I even bother to sit down and type out the translations because I like to understand the lyrics in context with the music. I want to preserve and convey the ideas and intentions of the words properly. (Fun fact: I take longer to translate lyrics for this reason!)

Important notes:

☆Please do not copy-paste my lyrics transcriptions, romaji, or translations to any other online medium (LJ, Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, etc.). If you intend to share a segment of this post elsewhere, please ask me first and let me know how you wish to use it.

☆My translations are not available for retranslating.

TRANSLATIONS
(Oh yeah)

The birds wake to the morning sun and sing to the sky, the heavens
Thank you for such a radiant day, when I open the window,

I'll see you, give you a wink and wave, imagine that
Everybody's dreams come true

Let's say! These days have never been better, My story is a treasure,
If we sing with joy, tomorrow will wait for us, Let's say!
Our lives have never been better, it's all a matter of perspective
Make the change now, Good morning, everyone
Say together
Good morning, everyone

Beyond the countless, dark nights, a bright journey awaits
Be confident, have hope, we can change the future

Be grateful for yesterday's disappointments, wipe away those tears
Anyone, everyone, you and me, we can all get through this
Everybody's dreams come true

Let's go, let's rise again, I can't lie to My spirit
The world is on your side, the sun will rise again, Let's say!
Things will look up, take another step, the future
Is ours to define, Good morning, everyone

(All right, all right
Everybody in the house, sing with us!
The boys, the girls
Uh, like that)

Good day, it's up to you, we'll keep walking on like this
Good day, it's up to you, beyond these blue skies
Good day, it's up to you, we'll keep walking on like this
Good day, it's up to you, beyond these blue skies
Good day, it's up to you, we'll keep walking on and on
Good day, it's up to you, Yeah

Let's say! These days have never been better, My story is a treasure,
If we sing with joy, tomorrow will wait for us, Let's say!
Our lives have never been better, it's all a matter of perspective

Thank you for the translation..

Well Sunshine i find is a weak solo from Sho after Rokling Days and not cup of my tea but i will try listening it while read the lyrics xD

I already thought the lyrics would have positive values

[keniichan.livejournal.com]

Thx a lot for sharing this..
Taking..weee..

[agustin1982.livejournal.com]

Thank you for sharing :D

[karenmatsu.livejournal.com]

I cried again.. Sho's solos are very possitive...

[daianachan.livejournal.com]

It's really a nice song whith an inspiring message. Maybe I can overcome this new and awkward feeling of not liking the album that much. I need to understand the lyrics. Thank you so much for translating!

[samiraisfan.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much for the translation!

I'll be honest: I didn't like it. I kinda guessed this year's Sho's solo will be upbeat and a encouraging song. It's like... He's been predictable since five~six years ago on what kind of solos he will have for every album, depending on the past one. But being honest once again.... The more I listen to it... The more I fall for his voice*w*. Currently happens the opposite with Aiba's one XDD

[riji]

Thank you :-)

Awesome
