I can't believe it is finally happening
Good that I managed to get a medal with Spain last edition,
cause I'm afraid now will start a big era of FLOP

Nobuo Uematsu - Ending Theme (Final Fantasy X)

 

[RainyWoods]

Mr. Amir, you've gone and done it. Resplendent choice

(although you are also going to jail for choosing the Ending Theme over To Zanarkand)

Final Fantasy 9 is my favourite but I think 10 has quite a special place in my heart in large part to the soundtrack and cast of characters. Such a start to your Japan adventures.

Final Fantasy 9 is my favourite but I think 10 has quite a special place in my heart in large part to the soundtrack and cast of characters. Such a start to your Japan adventures.

I'm happy it hit the same spot as it did for Merio. I was actually also considering To Zanarkand, but chose this since a part of it is To Zanarkand basically.
Also..........FFIX is my favourite too, very close together with FFX. Both have a special place in my heart and FFIX will surely be represented as well, especially since considering soundtracks it's definitely my favourite, and therefore it will be so hard to chose a song ><

 

[Amir]

Just a few words of gratitude for my (second) debut with
I'm very happy that I made the final with this piece (though it was close).
I have a lot of emotions for music of Final Fantasy, FFX was my first PS2 game, and basically my first video game ever,
which became a big part of my childhood and life.
The result is decent, but I was happy I could enjoy my first final with with it, and after all it got thr most
Thanks a lot to the people who voted for it

Now I'm ready for Japanese bitch pop, kawaii j-pop, even j-rock and simply a few wtf songs...we all know what Japan is like :')

see you next edition in Belarus

LiSA with the song "Gurenge"
has been chosen to represent Japan!

強くなれる理由を知った
僕を連れて進め

泥だらけの走馬灯に酔う こわばる心
震える手は掴みたいものがある それだけさ
夜の匂いに (I'll spend all thirty nights)
空睨んでも (Staring into the sky)
変わっていけるのは自分自身だけ それだけさ

強くなれる理由を知った
僕を連れて進め

どうしたって
消せない夢も 止まれない今も
誰かのために強くなれるなら
ありがとう 悲しみよ
世界に打ちのめされて負ける意味を知った
紅蓮の華よ咲き誇れ！ 運命を照らして

イナビカリの雑音が耳を刺す 戸惑う心
優しいだけじゃ守れないものがある？ わかってるけど
水面下で絡まる善悪 透けて見える偽善に天罰
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me, I don't need you!
逸材の花より 挑み続け咲いた一輪が美しい

乱暴に敷き詰められた トゲだらけの道も
本気の僕だけに現れるから 乗り越えてみせるよ
簡単に片付けられた 守れなかった夢も
紅蓮の心臓に根を生やし この血に宿ってる

人知れず儚い 散りゆく結末
無情に破れた 悲鳴の風吹く
誰かの笑う影 誰かの泣き声
誰もが幸せを願ってる

どうしたって
消せない夢も 止まれない今も
誰かのために強くなれるなら
ありがとう 悲しみよ
世界に打ちのめされて負ける意味を知った
紅蓮の華よ咲き誇れ！ 運命を照らして

TRANSLATION

I've found a reason to become strong
Take me with you, and let's march forward

I chase a muddy lantern
A stiffened heart, my shivering hands
Have something they want to grab, that's all
In the scent of night (I'll spend all thirty nights)
Even if I stare at the sky (Staring into the sky)
The only thing that can change is myself

I've found a reason to become strong
Take me with you, and let's march forward

Unforsaken dreams and an unstoppable present
If I can become stronger for someonе
I'll be thankful to carry all the sadness
I graspеd what it meant to protect
While being beaten up by the world
A crimson flower, bloom proudly and illuminate my fate

The sound of lightning rings in my ears
A bewildered heart
With kindness alone, there will be things I cannot protect
I know that but good and evil entwined under the surface
I will cast divine punishment on hypocrisy
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me, I don't need you
Rather than a brilliant flower, a lone enduring one is beautiful

Overwhelmed by violence, a thorny path
It only appears when I'm serious
I'll prove that I can overcome it
The dream that I couldn't protect was easily cast aside
Grow your roots in my crimson heart, and possess this land

Empty secrets, a crumbling conclusion
Cruelly torn apart, the breath of a scream
Someone's laughing shadow, someone's sobbing
Everybody desires happiness

Unforsaken dreams and an unstoppable present
If I can become stronger for someone
I'll be thankful to carry all the sadness
I grasped what it meant to protect
While being beaten up by the world
A crimson flower, bloom proudly and illuminate my fate

Blinding blue sky and humid air
Early afternoon
That moment your future changes
I really wanna see it
You're so shy
The one you were with just now, that girl
She looked familiar
Look, her brown hair,
Her natural make-up and
The way she talks I can tell
She's so stupid let me tell you now
All the things she was up to last night

Love can be a little painful
Isn't it pitiful?
That girl you like
Let me tell you she is
Oh no... yea

Oh B... B-Class
Oh B... B-Class
Oh she is B... B-Class
Yeah is she yours?
Yeah she is B-Class
Why don't you try me out?
You look stupid baby
She doesn't suit you
You're better off with me

Say bye bye, the earlier the better
Raise a hand and you'll catch her as fast as a taxi
What's so good about her
Heard she's at every club
I hope you're having fun
Let me show you paradise
She just B but I'm an S
Back back back to the basic
If you still don't understand by force
Pull you my way
I like you, see what you're doing now
Did you know, your mind and lips, they're doing different things

Love can be a little painful
Isn't it pitiful?
That girl you like
Let me tell you she is
Oh no... yeah

Oh B... B-Class
Oh B... B-Class
Oh she is B... B-Class
Yeah is she yours?
Yeah she is B-Class
Why don't you try me out?

Birds of a feather flock together, so they say
Wait... that means... baby...
Hold on...
That means you are too, right?
Ok one more time

WV178 HUSAVIK

Fujii Kaze with the song "Workin' Hard"
has been chosen to represent Japan!

What Fujii said about the song:
"I remember practicing many times to put a basketball into a looped tree branch that was right near my house when I was a kid.
I was never able to master the game of basketball, but now, more than 10 years later, I never thought that the day would come when I would be able to be involved with basketball in this way. I am filled with a sense of embarrassment, but also a sense of gratitude.
Imagining the players who had worked very hard and mastered basketball, and being allowed to go and watch the games, the song came to me as if it were slowly bubbling up from within me.
And as I proceed with the production, I was filled with more and more love and respect, not only for the players, but also for all the people who live hard in this world.
If this song can help you feel something beyond winning and losing and visible results, I will be very happy. Let’s do our best for each other."

TWICE with the song "Doughnut"
have been chosen to represent Japan!

手を振って 背を向けた瞬間に
すぐに寂しさにやられた
恋をしたから
君に埋め尽くされた mind
幸せと切なさが忙しいな (Na, na, na, na)
"I miss you" の文字で繋がるよ 感じた

Ah, 柔らかく甘い気分
ふわふわしてる
心には君型の穴が空いてるの
Just like a doughnut
迷い込んだ恋の loop
始まりも終わりもない
二人の love loop
二人の love loop, yeah, yeah, yeah

Every single day
何度も君が浮かんで
いつの間にか染められていく
そばにいなくても
切れずにリンクしてるね
Memory の余韻に浸っていたい
もう後戻りはする気はないから

Ah, 柔らかく甘い気分
ふわふわしてる
心には君型の穴が空いてるの
Just like a doughnut
迷い込んだ恋の loop
始まりも終わりもない
二人の love loop
二人の love loop, yeah, yeah, yeah

So deep, so empty, I need thee (Oh)
So deep, so empty, I need thee (Oh, oh)
ぐるぐる巡る feeling
君を好きになって
君の形の穴が空いたみたい
ハートの真ん中は
君だけの space

Ah, 好きなんだ 好きなのよ
ありきたりでも
心には君型の穴が空いてるの
Just like a doughnut
味わっていたい 永遠の loop
きっと世界で1つ (There is a place for ya)
Ah, 柔らかく甘い気分 (No, oh-oh)
ふわふわしてる (You make me feel so sweet, baby)
心には君型の穴が空いてるの (Woah)
Just like a doughnut
迷い込んだ恋の loop (I need you, baby)
きっと世界で一つ

The moment I waved and turned around
I was overcome with loneliness
Since falling in love
You have occupied my mind you have occupied my mind
Overloaded with happiness and torment (Na, na, na)
"I miss you" are the words that connect us

A soft and sweet sensation
So fluffy
My heart has a hole in the shape of you
Just like a doughnut
I've wondered into a love loop
No beginning or end
Our love loop
Our love loop, yeah, yeah, yeah

Every single day
I thought about you many times
You're growing on mе
Even when we'rе not together
We stay linked
I want to immerse myself in the afterglow of our memory
I have no intention of going back

A soft and sweet sensation
So fluffy
My heart has a hole in the shape of you
Just like a doughnut
I've wondered into a love loop
No beginning or end
Our love loop
Our love loop, yeah, yeah, yeah

So deep, so empty, I need thee
So deep, so empty, I need thee
Rotating feeling falling in love with you
I think there's a hole in the shape of you
The middle of my heart
A space just for you

I love you, I love you
This may sound like a cliché
But my heart has a hole in the shape of you
Just like a doughnut
Want to taste this infinite loop
I bet it's the only one in the world
(There is a place for ya)
A soft and sweet sensation
So fluffy
In my heart there is a hole in the shape of you
Just like a doughnut
I've wondered into a love loop
I bet it's the only one in the world
