Kana
もう我慢ばっかしてらんないよ
言いたいことは言わなくちゃ

帰り道 夕暮れのバス停
落ちこんだ背中に Bye Bye Bye

君のFighting Pose 見せなきゃ Oh!Oh!

夢にまで見たような世界は
争いもなく平和な日常

でも現実は日々トラブッて
たまに悔やんだりしてる そんな Rolling days

転んじゃったって いいんじゃないの
そんときは笑ってあげる

乗り込んだバスの奥から
ちいさく ほほえみが見えた

君を頼りにしてるよ Oh!Oh!

夢にまで見たような Sweet Love
恋人たちは隠れ家を探すの

でも現実は会えない日が
続きながらも信じてるの Lonely Days

つまずいたって Way to go!!
Yeah!! Yeah!! 泥どろけ Rolling star!!

なるべく笑顔でいたいけれど
守り抜くためには仕方ないでしょ?

きっと嘘なんて そう意味を持たないの
~All my loving
そうじゃなきゃ やってらんない

夢にまで見たような世界は
争いもなく平和な日常

でも現実は日々トラブッて
たまに悔やんだりしてる そんな Rolling days

・・・そう わかってるって
つまずいたって Way to go!!
Yeah!! Yeah!! 泥だらけ Rolling star!!



Eigo
My patience is running out
I want to say what I wanna say
Coming home from the bus stop at twilight
Saying bye bye bye to sad backs of others

You gotta show you Fighting Pose oh oh

A world like I have seen in my dreams
Without conflict, just daily peace
But in reality, I tend to worry about
Troubles and the daily grind
Those Rolling Days

Even though you keep on falling,
You laugh and get up every time
As I board the vacant back of the bus
You flash me a small smile

I must place my trust in you

Sweet love like I have seen in my dream
Lovers searching for hidden refuge
But in reality, on the days we cannot meet,
Continue on but I believe in Lonely Days

Oh yeah, yeah...
Even if you stumble, Way to go
Yeah, yay!
A muddled Rolling Star

It pains me to see your smiling face, but
Is there no way to protect you till the end?

There is no meaning to this lie, none at all
All my loving,
Without it, I can't go on

A world like I have seen in my dreams
Without conflict, just daily peace
But in reality, I tend to worry about
Troubles and the daily grind
Those Rolling Days

Oh yeah, yeah...
Even if you understand it all
Oh yeah, yeah...
Even if you stumble, way to go,
Yeah yay
A muddled rolling star



Story behind the song
Released January 17, 3007, this is YUI's seventh single and first under Studioseven Recordings. It was used as the fifth opening song for the popular Japanese animation series Bleach. It had reached a peak position of number 3 at the Oricon Daily Charts.
The song is about the daily struggle of human life. In that we always want to find peace in this world but in reality life is full of troubles that keep on bothering us until we finally fall and stumble. The lyrics are like the story of a normal person who just came from work/school and is just about to go home and is riding a bus. It's kind of like a metaphor to the journey of life. We get on a bus, we try to find a seat to put our sore butts on, we see people, occasionally flash a smile or frown at them. There are even cases where we haven't even on our seats and the bus speeds on and we stumble down the aisle. Making ourselves a huge distraction and something to laugh about for the stressed passengers.
But the lesson in the song is that no matter how hard we stumble in the aisle, we could always get up and even laugh at ourselves. We are Rolling Stars!


To me. . .
I have heard this song as it was being played as the opening song in Bleach and I immediately loved it. It felt kind of weird though because I honestly thought I was being sung by a kid because the voice is so "childish." but eventually, I found out after watching the music video that YUI is a actually a teenage girl! I heard this one way before I watched her movie Taiyou no Uta.
I used this as the background music for my Friendster Account page when the website was still in full bloom. If there is one Japanese word that would best describe this song, I believe it would be "kakkoi" or "cool." It just screams it out! This one served as like my anthem when I was in high school because I had a lot of stumbles then. 
Anyway, just to say, this was YUI's first song I have ever heard and could probably be the reason why I went crazy over her.
