The Music of Haruhi Suzumiya (OP/ED & OST, etc.)

Yeah, not the a capella part, I know that, but about how he EXPLAINED what a capella was. XD

Don't be too hard on him. I was about to post something similar before I read it again and realized that Khu was talking about the wordy definition. ^_^

Still no excuse for the original questioner, as it's much easier to just Google "a capella" (the Wikipedia page is the first result) than it is to post a question and have to wait for an answer while pretty much the entire rest of the forum is either frozen in astonishment that she doesn't understand such a simple term or Googling "a capella"... ^_^

It would be so awesome if the movie's theme song was like this

Why is AnimeLyrics so slow? Thelastcharacter songs came out around 2 months ago, and only 1 of 6 have been translated, whereas Koizumi's songs lyricswere put out, like, 3 days after release? Hm. Well.
Still glad we got Koizumi's as fast as we did ^_^.
Random: Wasn't Sweet Oblivion's lyrics made by the original author of Haruhi? Does anyone have those lyrics?
Prolly not..

Half the Lucky Star songs haven't been translated. As well as K-On!.

If Tanigawa wrote Sweet Oblivion's lyrics I'll cry.

Please prepare your tissues. The original lyrics were written by Tanigawa, but finished into a song by the usual lyricist for the series: Hata-san

Edit for some news:
The website mkara is offering a campaign to give away ten-twenty sets of figures. Well, the reason I'm putting it in this thread is that somehow they are offering downloads of 26 karaoke versions of songs from the series. I'm not quite sure if all of the songs on the Kioku CD have karaokes, but they and God knows...., Lost my music, and Koi no Mikuru Densetsu will be getting a karaoke version. Would be nice to hear the karaoke versions someday.

vvv I'm sorry, but not it is not. It's the OPs, EDs, insert songs, all 4 Haruhi character songs, all Yuki's except SELECT, Mikuru's Revenge, Koizumi's Maggare and Tsumara nai Hanashi desu yo", Kyon's Kentai Life, Haruhi-chan OP and ED, Welcome Unknown, Saikou Pare Parade, and 4 other Haruhi-Mikuru-Yuki songs.

[AmyElizzabeth]

Instead of ones with the background vocalists still in there...
Is First Good-Bye getting one?

But some of them already have karaoke versions, which kinda make it a waste.

And I am about to cry. Someone translate the lyrics please.

One of the posts in the 20+ 2 chan threads I reviewed this weekend (We're currently on thread 23 for the movie alone which doesn't include box office threads and the normal SOS brigade threads) had an approximation of the song. I will do my best to find it, but I cannot guarantee success. Likely the lyrics will be posted closer to the end of this month when it is released.

I originally saw the list of songs and said "oh those already have karaoke versions, what a waste" but I then realized that there were about 7-8 that didn't. I love the arrangement of Koi no Mikuru Densetsu, so it'd be worth it for me.

I always thought several of those songs needed karaoke, too.

[AmyElizzabeth]

Don't most of those have karaoke?
Love all those songs by the way...Pretty sure I love most, if not all Haruhi songs.
Didn't like Sweet Oblivion as much as the others, though, but still very pretty.

[Vegard Aune]

...So yeah, I know ultimatemegax just posted a translation of the song, but because I feel horribly offended at the fact that nobody remembered that I'd already posted one, I'm reposting my own.

Spoiler for Sweet Oblivion:

What is it I want? I chase after it.
When I said I didn't want anything, it was no lie.

There is a place for me even in this disappearing world.
Though I didn't even know that myself.

My imprisoned conscience connects the threads of time.
Without looking back at my wish, I am born again.
Don't forget.

In the repeating days, what is left in me?
Is it a memory, or oblivion?

Eventually, the world will go to sleep,
changing into a tomorrow for each and every one of us.

The door that sees off the future I chose...
Even if my wish is realized, please don't forget.
Don't forget.

There is a place for me even in this disappearing world.
Though I didn't even know that myself.

Until I remember...

I actually relied on this while listening to Sweet Oblivion for the first time, which made me tear up. Kudos to both you and ultimatemegax for translating the lyrics. I've been after the romanji lyrics for a while now though.

Tanigawa loves Yuki. I bet he enjoyed writing the lyrics for this song.

Might want to change that to a link to your old post. Otherwise the mods might consider it crossposting or spamming, and that's against the forum rules. Liked the translation, though. ^_^

I apologize for not searching through the thread and finding your translation. Yours has a more casual style to it than my (almost literal) translation, and I like it just as much if not better than my own. Thank you for sharing it with us again and for your hard work in creating it.

I actually cried when i heard this song with the lyrics, and I rarely cries.Part of me wanted to curse tanigawa but still, he is the reason we love this series in the first place. so kudos for him because he actually makes me cry....

[AmyElizzabeth]

I didn't cry...I didn't see any reason to. I mean, It's a pretty song with good lyrics, bu I never get emotional
