Aoi Tori (The Idolm@ster) (English Translyrics) (Free to use with credit!)

These tears I cry will always easily come and go,
but even though they leave, this sadness inside won't.
This love of mine, that has caused me to feel so much pain,
It was all my own choice, even us parting ways.

Like a bird that's strayed away, far from all of it's kind.
I don't know where I will be at the next sunrise.
Even if I'm covered in wounds,
if I'm bloodied, battered or bruised.
I'll stay strong, and keep holding on,
So I, can spread my wings, and soar.

Like a bluebird I
Even if happiness,
Is something that's within my reach.
I will keep flying,
Up towards the blue sky,
believing the future I seek.
I won't forget you, even if it's sad
it's something I must do, I won't be looking back.

Rather than watching the glittering sea behind glass,
I'd rather plunge myself,  into the waves, at last.
So let me go, just, let my hand out of your grasp
Because out there the world
Has a place I must go.

Trapped inside the birdcage in your arms, that you now hold
are the happy memories that were made by us both.
Even so, I must start searching for the red fruit that calls me,
I might regret, that I left your nest.
But I won't know until then.

Like a bluebird I
Now freed from captivity
In peace I can start to leave,
I will keep flying,
Up towards the blue sky,
Towards those distant dreams of mine.
Because, if I found, that I couldn't fly.
There'd be no point continuing to live this life.

Like a bluebird I
Even if happiness,
Is something that's within my reach.
I will keep singing,
Above the clouds I soar.
to the future in front of me
I had loved you, once, it is true.
But I must keep on ahead, even if without you

(Translyrics) The Reason I Thought I Wanted To Die (僕が死のうと思ったのは) by Amazarashi

(These might change. I am not 100% happy with them, but we will see. If you use please credit me.)
(Translation based on #1 and #2 translation from this site. Please view the original translations.)
(I do not own this song, it is sung originally by Amazarashi. Please support them.)

The reason that I thought I wanted to die
Was because at the end of the pier I heard the seagulls cry
They would drift along the waves, then they'd simply fly away
I wish they'd peck apart my past, like bread, all the same
The reason that I thought I wanted to die
Was because on my birthday, the plum trees were blooming
Lying down beneath it's leaves, sunlight streaming down on me
Will I too also return to dirt and dust in time?

Mint candy at the harbor's lighthouse,
Abandoned bikes too rusty to be used now.
At this old station I try to hide from the cold,
but there's not even somewhere I want to go.

Today feels the same as yesterday did,
"To change tomorrow, you change today" but I still..
I understand, I understand, but yet I..

The reason that I thought I wanted to die
was Because I felt like there was nothing left inside.
And whenever someone cries because they aren't happy,
I'm sure it's because they really want to be.

The reason that I thought I wanted to die
was because my shoelaces wouldn't stay tied
I was never really good at retying them so..
It's the same with the ties between people in my life

The reason that I thought I wanted to die
Was because a kid wouldn't stop looking at me,
In my room, on the bed, I had fallen to my knees
Apologizing to the younger me

The dim light from my PC,
familiar ambiance from the room above me.
A boy sits blocking out the intercom,
but even then he's been in a cage  all along.
I'm fighting an enemy I can't even see,
The Don Quixote of this apartment scene.
And honestly, the prize isn't worth winning

The reason that I thought I wanted to die
Was because someone said I was a heartless being,
And whenever I would cry, longing for somebody's love
I regretted that I knew what love had once felt like.

The reason that I thought I wanted to die
Was because the way you smiled so beautifully
And maybe why I want to die, was because I took this life
a bit too seriously at certain times.

The reason that I thought I wanted to die
Was that I hadn't run into you quite yet.
If the people in this world, were a lot more like you
then I'm sure I'd like living in this world too.

If more people in the world, were a lot more like you
Then maybe I'd have more hope for it too.
