Anime Once Again ...

I seem to be asking this in every forum these days, so why not? ...
What is the name of the Nadesico theme song, and who is it by?

KICKSTART MY HEART!

 

They're great questions and it gives us a chance to discuss other songs by that artist.

The title of Nadesico's opening theme is You Get to Burning, the vocalist is Matsuzawa Yumi.


(Here's the Japanese Lyrics)
You Get to Burning
kuyashisa wo koraete keri ageta ishikoro
hanekaereba DAIYAMONDO ni mo naru [1]
sugu te ni hairu yume nante yume ja nai yo
demo kanarazu kanau to shinjite'ru yo
kujikenai kimi ga suki... [2]
nakitai toki aru nara
soba ni zutto zutto iru kara...

You get to burning
kimi rashiku, hokorashiku mukatte yo
muchuu ni natta hibi ga yume no kakera sa [3]
You get to burning
sono kakera wo atsumete
asu wo mezasu yuuki mieru yo To be...
Going your day's. Grow up!


[Instrumental]


kesshite tokenai houteishiki wo narabete
rakudai saseru koto ni ikigaru machi [4]
PURAIDO to ka shourai wo kangaeta nara
nigedasu kedo "kyou ni maketakunai" to
tsubuyaita kimi ga suki...
ano hi no mama yume miru
hitomi zutto zutto shounen [5]

You get to burning
kimi rashiku, airashiku waratte yo
muchuu ni nareru hibi ga kitto shiawase
You get to burning
kidzutsuite momegenai
asu wo mezasu yuuki mieru yo To be...
Going your day's. Grow up!


[Instrumental]


You get to burning
kimi rashiku, hokorashiku mukatte yo
muchuu ni natta hibi ga yume no kakera sa
You get to burning
sono kakera wo atsumete
asu wo mezasu yuuki mieru yo To be...
Going your day's. Grow up!

 

Translation by Takayama Miyuki:

Enduring mortification, you kicked a stone...
If it bounces back, it might even become a diamond. [1]
Dreams you can get right away aren't really dreams, you know.
Still, I believe that they'll be granted without fail.
I won't give in. I love you... [2]
If you ever want to cry,
I'll always, always be by your side, and so...

You get to burning
Face it proudly, as befits you.
Those days when you're enraptured are pieces of your dream [3]
You get to burning
As you pick up those pieces,
I can see (you have) the courage to aim for tomorrow, to be...
Going your days. Grow up!

[Instrumental]
Lining up the equations you can't ever solve,
this society tries to appear smart by making you fail. [4]
If you considered pride and such, and the future...
Even though you ran away, you muttered "I won't be beaten
by the present." I love you...
Your eyes are always, always those of a young boy;
they keep on dreaming, just as they were on that day. [5]

[Instrumental]
You get to burning
Smile charmingly for me, as befits you.
Those days when you can be enraptured are truely happiness.
You get to burning
Realize it, don't dispute it.
I can see (you have) the courage to aim for tomorrow, to be...
Going your days. Grow up!

[Instrumental]

You get to burning
Face it proudly, as befits you.
Those days when you're enraptured are pieces of your dream.
You get to burning
As you pick up those pieces,
I can see (you have) the courage to aim for tomorrow, to be...
Going your days. Grow up!

Note: this isn't the same tranlation that is shown in the fansub while the opening is playing.
