I think Mio writes the lyrics but the music is a group effort.

Deep inside my chest, there is a little girl.
All she wants is a pure thing, fluffy and glistening.

Please, gently call out to that girl -
Because even if you can’t see her clearly, she is my true self… It’s me, Call me.

When a heart that breaks easily is decorated with frills, it twinges and cries out.
The day she finds love that is sweeter, sweeter than anything like chocolate
Is what she is dreaming of.

There is a lost and confused girl.
She simply writes out her heartbeats and her tears with her left hand.

Someone, firmly pull that girl along -
Because as the night goes on, she becomes afraid and unable to move… It’s me, Guide me.

If you dress a soft girl who tends to retreat in chiffon, will she become a little stronger?
A self that doesn’t just look down with her cheeks red, red like ripe strawberries
Is what she wants to show.

It’s me, Call me.
When a heart that breaks easily is decorated with frills, it twinges and cries out.
The day she finds love that is sweeter, sweeter than anything like chocolate
Is what she is dreaming of.

Notice her, call out to her, invite her.
She’s right here – that little girl.

Those are the translations I've been looking for! Do you have the link to the original translation? I'm going to use this for a sing-able Tagalog translation.


Interesting music theory discussion. Let's have more of this.

Spoiler for Heart Goes Boom!! ENGLISH:

A blushing flower, a singing bird
I don't stand out at all, so, how? I write a song
Finger plucking, Engraving a rhythm
When I'm with my friends it's the best, our breaths join as one
The bass is essential, no matter what or who it is
Is your earthquake resistance OK? You'll be shaken up and down, side to side
I'm packing all my feelings into the body of my jazz bass
Four seasons a year, 24 hours a day, my roaring heart never stops
Bo Boom Boom Boom Boom!!
The moon shining, stars shooting up
The world is evolving every day, so I can't just do it absent-mindedly
The wind coming forth, crossing over a wall
If I take a deep breath I'll break from my shell
The roots are essential, no matter what life form
Search for your dreams and aspirations, to the east, to the west, run on earnestly
Absorbed, I entrust the future to these four strings
Bewildered, even if I lose my way, I'll pinpoint the right direction by improvising
Bo Boom Boom Boom Boom!!
This beautiful, deep, bass sound, believe in it and feel it go on
I'm packing all my feelings into the body of my jazz bass
Four seasons a year, 24 hours a day, my roaring heart never stops
Bo Boom Boom Boom Boom!!
Day & Night Anytime
Boom Boom Boom!!

Spoiler for Watashi wa Watashi no Michi o Iku Kanji..can some translate?:

Who 求められているのは どんなキャラですか?
Haa 知らないけど私は 私生きるです
So 押して押して押すです 引いたら負けです
Yeah 猫のよにしなやかに 歩いてくんです

孤高と孤独が美徳 誰にも 手なづけられないです…!?

なのに ハグされたら 途端にちから抜けちゃうんです
人体は不思議です
教科書にも辞書にも 克服する方法はないです 困るんです

Fuu 生まれて約15年 先は長いです
Haa ちっぽけな私です 空は高いです
But 見上げるだけじゃヤです 負けは嫌いです
Yeah 何でもやる、やるです やってやるんです

努力と根性が信条 どこにも 寄り道はしないです…!?

なのに 鯛焼き不意に 出されたら立ち止まっちゃうんです
おやつは偉大です
「"あーん"てしてよ」なんて言われたら オートマティックに口があいちゃうんです

不器用です だから頑固なんです だけど空気も読んでいたいんです
もしみんなが喜ぶなら 猫耳だって装着するです!!

なんで なんで ハグされたら 途端にちから抜けちゃうんです
人体は不思議です
日なたみたいな体温が好きです 柔らかな人肌弱いんです

ぬき足 さし足 しのび足 坂道 花道 茨道
私は私の道を行く キミも一緒にどうです?
先輩 後輩 クラスメイト メル友 リア友 彼・彼女
みんなでみんなの道を行く そこのけそこのけです!
ぬき足 さし足 しのび足 坂道 花道 茨道
私は私の道を行く キミも一緒にどうです?

Spoiler for Humming Bird English:

Now, let's open the door of the birdcage in the heart
Let's take off nobly and sing freely

What color is the new sky? How is the seven colors of the rainbow?
I'm going to see how the world is, being filled with the wind

You can see brilliant miracles lying beyond excitements
I will meet the challenges, every day is a majestic adventure
Spreading the wings, I take a deep breath and all I have to do is to believe
I want to leave myself to me, not anybody else

Like chirping to awaken a sleeping bud in the forest in a dense fog
Let's resonate with my friends from heart to heart

Truly important things can't be seen and touched
So, don't break them, you can make them eternal

Walk up by yourself to twinkling and dazzling smiles
The step leads to the future, encounters are irreplaceable jewels

Telling dreams and making a commitment to one another, all that reamains is to mutually support
I will be your help as much as I could all the time

You can see brilliant miracles lying beyond excitements
I will meet the challenges, every day is a majestic adventure
Spreading the wings, I take a deep breath and all I have to do is believe
I'm sure I can go farther, into the eternal sky

Great find... but do you have a link to your source? They might release the other lyric translations at some point. I always have a terrible time trying to catch the words in many songs.

That's strange, there's no English translation of at least Hello Little Girl there.

I shouldn't have read the translated lyrics. The lyrics are too moe loaded.

I found Hello Little Girl somewhere else, but I couldn't find it

and AzureLight, YOU CAN TRANSLATE SONGS??!~ *resists urge to give requests*

[Galeontanilla]

Don't know if this has been pointed out yet but, there IS a difference in Cagayake! GIRLS after Azusa joins the club. During the prechorus, you can hear a guitar kind of playing to the rhythm of the singing.

[AmyElizzabeth]

And during roll call, the names are called by diff people.
Mugi:: Oooh, YuI!
Yui: AZUSA!
Azusa: Mio!
Mio: Ritsu!
Ritsu: Mugi!
oh my god I just realized this but they went in order..

[Miyuki-ism]

Do they?! That's cool, I still have to download that version of the song.

[AmyElizzabeth]

It came out 9/02!
Over a month ago

[M.Marangio]

The date for the live event has been confirmed: December 30, 2009.

Welp, those chords are wrong, my friend. A 6th fret on the E string would be a Bb (standard tuning of course). Ab is G#, and not in that little run. I guarantee you the run is F#-Bb-B, as I've covered the song on bass and know my notes very well

Regarding "cool rock" thing, I guess I'm not familiar with cool rock XD. Everything I ever hear is the same 4 chords over and over, so to hear something so interesting as this coming from a fictitious band is worthy of merit.

Lastly, regarding individual skills (and referring to the characters because I don't know all of their real personas and musicians XD): Yui is a rather average guitarist, but she knows some good chords and adds to the music. Mio really carries the songs with driving bass and is hands-down the most talented of the members. Mugi I can never really hear well, but I know she brings an unnoticed presence that wouldn't make the songs the same without her (she does have some "lead" parts in Don't Say Lazy and, well, in most songs, but usually just for short periods). And Ritsu is a fairly good drummer! Azusa I can't really mention because I can practically never hear her. But she knows theory, at least in the anime! XD

Well, that's about all I can comment on. Thanks for noticing what I noticed though

I wouldn't mind seeing the voice actors singing the various tunes...

I wish, even in youtube is okay.

[AmyElizzabeth]

Who's Nodoka's seiyuu?

hw about check out in wikipedia?...

For some reason, I really love all the tunes from K-On, the op/ed and the character albums, it grooves me to the beat.

[AmyElizzabeth]

Same for me with Haruhi songs.
More K-On!, but still, haruhi and K-On have wonderful songs.
I hope they do season 2, like continuing the manga.

I think they will make it, because; is their dream to have live in boudokan?

[AmyElizzabeth]

Not at all. They don't wanna go to Budoukan at all. You so crazy
Yeeah, it's like, their dream, but at the rate the manga's going (really hyper fast. they graduate from highschool a week into their damn freshman year it seems like)
