Welcome!
My (pen) name is Almond.
I am Japanese and my native language is Japanese.
I am a big fan of Japanese pop songs, especially of those which were produced in somewhat older days.
This blog aims to introduce my favorite Japanese pop songs to English speakers.
When I listen to music, I usually pay much attention to the lyrics besides the melodies and voices.
Indeed I find many songs with impressive lyric expressions.
I would like to share them with you, so I attach my translations of the lyrics into English.
Although I try my best to deliver the atmospheres properly, the translations of course could be wrong.
Please regard them as my personal interpretations and limit the usage of this webpage to your private entertainment.
Also, please refrain from copy-pasting my translations on any webpages so that possible misunderstandings of original atmospheres will not be spread in unexpected ways.
Links to this webpage are welcomed.
Since I learned English as a foreign language, my English might sound weird.
I appreciate it very much if you could leave a comment when you find some points to be corrected.
Needless to say, the selection is quite a bit biased.
If you want me to translate other Japanese lyrics, please leave a comment.
Maybe I will work on it, maybe not, depending on my personal preference, whether or not it is possible with my ability, and whether or not I have time. (This is just my pastime!)
Enjoy!
Almond
