An Attempt at Translation.

[goruden_kombi]

OK, I'm obsessed with the Fuji Yuuta character single. Obsessed. I understand most of the lyrics (or so I think). I've done a translation here, but I'm pretty sure that there are numerous errors in it; the perils of being self-taught are many--well, there's only one peril, really, miscomprehension without anyone there to aid you, but it's a

Hey, good work! I don't have much to say, provided that you're not doing a word-for-word direct translation.

まっすぐ戦って勝ち抜き超えていく

And I'm not correcting....I don't think I qualify for that. How 'bout 'suggestion'? You should check with Steve aka akizora before taking my suggestion, though...he's good (I often feel that he understands Japanese better than I do, seriously.)

Hahah... I admire someone who can translate... If I had to, I'd go find my hiragana and kanji sheets. But it'd take me forever... @.@

It's hard. Kanji is murder. I spend a lot of time practising--er, that is, I used to; I've been slacking off lately. Translating this song has shown me that I really need to hit the books again. ^^;
