Opening #2 "Boku no Taiyou" by AKB48

So I grabbed the DQ29 RAW from S^M|Kaos-Bot2 and what was I surprised with? The second opening!

Song: 「僕の太陽」 "Boku no Taiyou" (My Sun)
Artist: AKB48

I was too lazy to add them to the gallery (75!!!) so you can check out here for screenshots.

A YouTube copy is uploaded here.

And of course, the video itself ;D here!!

Ripped WAV of the song here.


And then lyrics First one is the kanji, copied out of the video, and the second is my attempt at the romaji, so that you can at least follow along. Feel free to correct my phailing romaji, and I'll edit back in...

らららら~　らららら~　ららららら~
君は今僕の太陽
嫌なことの　ひとつくらい
誰にもある
下を向いて　落ち込んでたってだめさ
心のその空　晴れ渡るまで
上を向くんだ
君が世界のどこかで泣きながら
孤独に震えていたって
必ず　僕が探す
愛しさが目印さ
太陽は何度も夢を見る
永遠に　あの地平線から
眩しい光はエネルギー
君は今僕の太陽

Lalalala~ Lalalala~ Lalalalala~
kimi wa ima boku no taiyou
iyana kotono hito tsukurai
dare ni mo aru
shita wo muite ochikonde tatte damesa
kokoro no sono sora hare wataru made
ue wo mukunda
kimi ga sekai no doko ka de naki nagara
kodoku ni furue teitatte
kanarazu boku ga sagasu
itoshi saga mejirushisa
taiyou wa nando mo yume wo miru
eien ni ano chiheisen kara
mabushii hikari wa enerugii (energy)
kimi wa ima boku no taiyou

Thank you soooo much for sharing~ I saw the screenies on 2chan yesterday and I was eagerly awaiting the chance to see it.

Song is okay, I'll have to listen to it more for it to grow on me. As for the video, it doesn't match the song too well at points.

And Lief's smile at 00:35 creeps me out.

Boktai! Erm...yah. I like this song ^^ I need to find some DDL of Deltora, it looks really good.

My guess at kana (changes from Scipio emboldened):
Lalalala~ Lalalala~ Lalalalalala~
kimi wa ima boku no taiyou
iyana kotono hitotsu kurai
dare ni mo aru
shita wo muite ochikonde tatte damesa
kokoro no sono sora hare wataru made
ue wo mukunda
kimi ga sekai no doko ka de naki nagara
kodoku ni furuetei tatte
kanarazu boku ga sagasu
itoshisa ga mejirushisa
taiyou wa nando mo yume wo miru
eien ni ano chiheisen kara

Boktai!

Nearly! The Japanese name for Boktai is "Bokura no Taiyou", only one character away frm Boku no Taiyou.

Boktai! You know what, this song title reminds me of Bokura no Taiyou as well.
And the lyrics have 'energy', in it as well, I wonder if it's a reference?

The last 2 posters seems to know Boktai..... wow, I never knew there were so much Boktai fans on this site.

If I get spare time I might take a shot a translating it..... but I'm still learning Japanese so I might not be able to translate all of it.

Boku no Taiyou Translation

I actually translated this song for fun a couple weeks back. If anyone's still interested here it is:

----------------------------------------------------------------
Version 1 (The one I like best)

You have become my sun...

Everyone has their dark days.
You mustn't let them get you down.
Until the sun shines in the sky that is your heart...
keep your head held high.

Somewhere in this world you've been crying...
trembling and alone...
But you can rest assured that I will search for you...
My love will show me the way.

I dream constantly of the sun.
The bright light from the horizon...
is an endless source of energy.

You have become my sun...

-----------------------------------------------------------
Version 2 (More literal so the English is rougher)

You are now my sun...

Everyone faces at least some unpleasantness.
You mustn't hang your head and become depressed.
Until the sun shines in the sky that is your heart...
keep your head held high.

Somewhere in this world you were crying...
trembling and alone...
But, without fail, I will search for you...
My affection is the landmark.

I dream constantly of the sun.
Eternally, from that/the horizon...
the bright light is energy.

You are now my sun...
