AAA - Us

This time I'd like to post a self-made video with an also self-made translation of AAA's "Us".

I love this song from the bottom of my heart and so I always wanted to translate it. It's like a really pure love confession, almost as metaphorical as a poem. That's why I love Japanese music. *_*

I just love this song. The melody is beautiful and the lyrics really get to me. I like the idea of someone although being only one-sided in love, caring about the dreams of his/her special person. The metaphor of the bird and the sky is really cute.

I tried my best to time the lines properly, but it is just the case that Japanese can convey meaning in a much shorter manner most of the time, so it is unavoidable to... well.... read quickly sometimes. XD

The few concert scenes were taken from AAA's concert DVD, April 2007. I liked the performance a lot!

Information:

AAA (pronounced as 'Triple A') are a "vocal dancing unit", that started out with 8 members in 2005 and is down to 7 members by now. I like the fact that there are men and women in this vocal group, so they can sing all kinds of songs and use the great melodical variety of male as well as female voices. So sometimes the women will sing harmony for the men, or it's the other way around, or they'll sing in dialogue. And since they are a dance group, their concerts are never boring. ^.~
