Japanese Hip-Hop Lyrics in English

[Uninstall]

always wanted to do that​

What's good all, hope everyone is doing good ヽ(｡・^ω^･)ﾉ
Firstly I'm wondering if this is the correct section.. It's not really creativity but in a way I think it could be..
Secondly I know that many of the poeple here in A-S generally don't enjoy Hip-Hop music or listen to it, as far as I know as I do pop in and out of the "What are you listening to?" thread, but I think I'll put it up anyway if you're interested (´∀｀。c)

So what is this you ask?
My friend and I have been working on translating and subbing a couple of Hip-Hop tracks into English and Dutch, and romanizing them too. I think it's a pretty tricky job, translating from Japanese, so big up to subbers, translators, etc.!
d(*^ω^)b
So please remember that some of these translations aren't 100% accurate, instead they're our English interpretatons of the lyrics, a sometimes lyrics in Hip-Hop tend to be rather figurative. If you wish to correct me, please leave a post! My Japanese sucks and my friend from the other forum claims his English isn't too good, but we're trying our best! (ゝ∀･｡)

MICHI TAO / ROPPONGI REQUIEM
Definately one of my favourite Japanese Hip-Hop tracks!! Nice lyrics, nice flow "from the darkness of the streets"

RYUZO / THE R

AXIS / THE SUN
First part of the track and the hook is in English, the rest is in Japanese

EVISBEATS / YURERU ft. DENGARYU
Translations still not 100% complete or "correct", however any assistance would be appreciated!!

Anyways please leave your feedback, I'm curious to read them! (●b^З^)b
In the future we may not only stick to Hip-Hop, as we do enjoy other types of music such as Reggae as well..

Peace! (ﾟ∀ﾟ)ﾉ

Thank you as well as your friends for taking your time to translate all this.

The lyrics are simple in yet strong... They convey much emotion.

I thought they were pretty accurate translations.

Great of you to spread some more love for other genres of music.

We listen to more 'trance', 'pop', 'rock' etc. because we were probably influenced by anime and other social media.

Hope to see more when you and the rest of your crew find the time~ ^^

Thank you renren!! Again I appreciate your feedback..! (○´∀｀)
Anyways from yesterday I spoke about that we just finished a difficult translation, well.. Decided to upload it. Translations still aren't 100% final as we can't catch some parts but there is the general idea.!

 

[renano]

You can always do a 'version 2' if you or anybody aren't completely satisfied with the translations.

No harm, no foul.

Everbeats has become my favourite Hip Hop artist already! And I've just finished downloading the mix tape. Thanks!

 

[Uninstall]

Thanks AhGwee! Glad you like Evisbeats!! He's dropping his new album early next month, can hardly wait (●っゝω・)っ

And hope you enjoy it! I've got a lot more that I don't really have the motivation to put up here, but personally I love the tracks on this one so I'll put it up anyway (o´･ω･`o)

I like RYUZO his voice is freaking awesome
i will definitely get some stuff from him

 

[Uninstall]

Yeah RYUZO's style is mad, I'm currently translating この場所で会おう from the album HAZARD which is just straight off the hook (´∀｀)

Although untranslated nor do I have the lyrics for them, here's a pair of RYUZO's tracks I've uploaded

 

[Seemless]

Nice! i´m looking for the Hazard Album rigth now but it´s pretty hard to find -__-

 

[Uninstall]

I can send it to you if you want but it's in AAC, 256 kbps since it's an iTunes purchase shared from a friend, hope you don't mind (ゝ∀・*)

 

[Seemless]

That would be great

 

[Seemless]

I never listen to japanese hip hop but there is somthing about this Japanese Hip Hop witch i really like and that are the Beats
i listend to Ryozu and Evisbeats the whole day yesterday
and its not that boring always the same beat stuff its different and varied
Thanks for sharing Uninstall

 

[Uninstall]

Yeaa I'm glad you like it ヽ(〃´∀｀〃)ﾉ

And I agree with you especially Evisbeats he makes some amazing backing tracks, I think it's really a "Japanese" thing as in the school curriculum they tend to be bombed with literature, poems, which I think can widen imaginations, cultural competence etc.

I mean you can really see where he digs his inspiration from in his blog and you can really feel it in his music (っ´▽｀)っ

You can see him work his magic here

 

[Seemless]

hahaha great video i like the "everyone buys an ipod im happy when some buys records "
and they all got some really cool stuff out of it
so if you got some stuff to share im open for it ^^

If there's anything you're looking for let me know, I might have it

I just switched PCs so this collection isn't complete yet, but here's what I have so far (of course it's also expanding)
Let me know if you spot something you want (*´▽`*)
It's a complete mess, in all languages whatsoever..
..and some album titles are cut off because something went wrong during the transfer, sorry about that (*´о｀)

Spoiler: collection (click to zoom)

This collection is shared with friends so I may not have all of them right now but I can access them (ｏ´∀｀ｏ)

Spoiler: utatane collection

or if you're up for some recommendations I may be able to help!
And I also have some DVDs
I'm also trial uploader so I've already got some stuff on the Non-OST section d(｀･ω´･)

 

[Seemless]

[Seemless]

[Uninstall]

Haha it's probably been moved by a mod, but this is is a better section I think (ゝ∀･｡)
