"JANAKUTE" // "You've got it wrong!"

I love this song to bits. Both the lyrics and arrangement are so much fun and well suited to Aiba's voice. I think understanding the lyrics makes it 100% more enjoyable so I've decided to translate it.

It's a very sweet song about a problem so many guys have.... Aiba's fallen into the "best friend trap" with a girl he likes... and she's showering

I really like your translation ^^ Song lyrics can be hard to translate because they're so short and the meaning can be taken in all sorts of directions, but I think you did a great job with this one. And I LOVE THIS SONG. Thanks so much for sharing :D

Aw thanks so much! I'm really happy to hear you liked my translation.

With songs, it's always difficult working out the balance between staying accurate to the Japanese meaning and making it flow in English... Plus, as you said, the meaning is all up to personal interpretation and can be taken in a million different ways! But that's what makes it fun too :)

Thanks for your comment, I really love the song too! ^^
