This is actually what I did as I was sitting in the Las Vegas airport on my way home spring break. People were staring at my laptop as if they'd never seen one before. Sheesh. Anyway.
This is the opening song to Trinity Blood, one of my favourite anime. The tone and lyrics fit the mood and content of the anime quite well, even though at first glance they may seem a little strange. Just watching the opening song is more than enough to give you a feel for what you'll experience during viewing, which is much unlike most anime opening songs.
Credit goes to BUCK-TICK for the song. Please enjoy. : )
ドレス 『bloody trinity mix』
DRESS -bloody trinity mix-
鏡の前で君とまどろむ薄紅の指先
その手は不意に弱さを見せて
唇を塞いだ
kagami no mae de kimi to madoromu usubeni no yubisaki
sono te wa fui ni yowasa wo misete
kuchibiru wo fusaida
I doze in front of the mirror with you, with rouge fingertips
Unexpectedly, that hand showed weakness
And you closed your lips
あの日君と約束を交わした
今は二人思い出せずに。。。
ano hi kimi to yakusoku wo kawashita
ima wa futari omoidasezu ni...
That day, I exchanged promises with you
And now we can't remember it...
退屈な歌に耳を傾け
窓の外見つめる
僕はDRESSを纏踊って見せよう
狂ってる会教えて
taikutsu na uta ni mimi wo katamuke mado no soto mitsumeru
boku wa DRESS wo matori odotte miseyou
kurutterukai? oshiete
I hum a boring tune as I gaze out the window
Let me put on a dress and dance for you
Am I insane? Please tell me
いつかかぜにさらわれてゆくだろう
今は二人想い出せず Oh。。。
itsuka kaze ni sarawarete yuku darou
ima wa futari omoidasezu Oh...
Someday, the wind will carry me away
And now we can't remember it Oh...
僕はなぜ風のように雲のようにあの空へと浮かぶ羽がない？ なぜ。。。
星のように月のように全て包むあの夜へと沈む羽がない？ ああ。。。
Boku wa naze kaze no you ni kumo no you ni sora he to ukabu hane ga nai? Naze...
Hoshi no you ni, tsuki no you ni, subete tsutsumu ano yoru he to shizumu hane ga nai? Aa...
Why don't I have wings to fly in that sky, like the wind, like the clouds? Why...
Why don't I have wings to sink into that all-enveloping night, like the stars, like the moon? Aah...
忘れないで愛溢れたあの日々
君の顔も思い出せずに
wasurenai de ai afureta ano hibi
kimi no kao mo omoidasezu ni
Don't forget the love that overflowed on that day
I can't even remember your face
いつか風に書き消されてゆくだろう
いまは二人思い出せず Oh。。。
itsuka kaze ni kaki kesarete yuku darou
ima wa futari omoidasezu Oh...
Someday, the wind will erase what was written
And now, we can't remember it Oh...
僕はなぜ風のように雲のようにあの空へと浮かぶ羽がない？ なぜ。。。
星のように月のように全て包むあの夜へと沈む羽がない？ ああ。。。
Boku wa naze kaze no you ni kumo no you ni sora he to ukabu hane ga nai? Naze...
Hoshi no you ni, tsuki no you ni subete tsutsumu ano yoru he to shizumu hane ga nai? Aa...
Why don't I have wings to fly in that sky, like the wind, like the clouds? Why...
Why don't I have wings to sink into that all-encompassing night, like the stars, like the moon? Aah...
僕はなぜ風のように雲のようにあの空へと浮かぶ羽がない？ なぜ。。。
この愛もこの傷も懐かしい今は愛しくて痛み出す。。。ああ。。。
Boku wa naze kaze no you ni, kumo no you ni ano sora he to ukabu hane ga nai? Naze
kono ai mo kono kizu mo natsukashii ima wa itoshikute itamidasu Aah...
Why don't I have wings to fly in that sky, like the wind, like the clouds? Why...
This love, and this wound, are now something beloved. They begin to ache... Aah...

Kanji - BIBLE
Not really a translation, but I did put some work into it. I found the romanji and the translation for Shiraishi Kuranosuke's "Best of Rival Players" song, "BIBLE" on a forum somewhere, and decided to construct the kanji for the song based on what I already had. This was a way to practice my Japanese writing and decision skills (as sometimes I was presented with several different ways to write something).
I absolutely adore this song, so I want to know from someone experienced if I've done anything wrong so I can fix it and learn. :) No good having a lovely song like this one written all wrong due to my stupidity.
Shiraishi Kuranosuke voiced by Hosoya Yoshimasa, character (c) Konomi Takeshi. Credit for romanji and translation to... whoever it was that did it. I'm not sure. O_oU But I don't want to take the credit for them, definitely.
永へ続く眩しい場所へ。。。
Towa e tsuzuku mabushii basho e...
To a place that will shine brightly for eternity...

BIBLE
奇跡の在処を捜す旅を知ている
誰にも見せない痛みを強さし乍
Kiseki no arika wo sagasu tabi wo shiteiru
Dare nimo misenai itami wo tsuyosa ni shinagara
I'm on a journey to find the place where miracles are
While turning the pain that I show no one into strength
果てしない空に時放つ願
時の迷路の中で迷っても
立ち止まらない
Hateshinai sora ni tokihanatsu negai
Toki no meiro no naka de mayottemo
Tachidomaranai
I release my wish into the limitless skies
And even if I lose my way in the maze of time
I'll keep going
きっと世界が揺らぐにも
風を駆けぬけ描いて行く
明日へのBIBLE
Kitto sekai ga yuragu yoru ni mo
Kaze wo kakenuke egaite yuku
Asu e no bible
Surely, even in the night when the world wavers
I can dash through the winds and create
A bible to tomorrow
自由な鼓動を胸の地図に知るした
ぶれない誇りと情熱を足跡にして
Jiyuu na kodou wo mune no chizu ni shirushita
Burenai hokori to jyounetsu wo ashiato ni shite
In my heart is mapped out, an unfettered pulse
Leaving footsteps of unwavering pride and passion
顕界を越えた景色の向こうで
輝いている夢は信じてた
無限の未来
Genkai wo koeta keshiki no mukou de
Kagayaite iru yume wa shinjiteta
Mugen no mirai
And beyond the limitless landscape there lies
A glimmering dream that is
The boundless future I believed in
たった一筋光照らして
闇を切りさき跳び上って行く
希望の彼方
Tatta hitosuji hikari terashite
Yami wo kirisaki tobitatte yuku
Kibou no kanata
The light shines in one straight line
Piercing through the darkness and taking flight
Beyond the realm of hope
ずっと褪せない唯つの応答
見失はない
Zutto asenai yuitsu no kotae
Miushinawanai
I won't lose sight of the one answer
That never fades
きっと世界が揺らぐにも
風を駆けぬけ描いて行く
明日へのBIBLE
Kitto sekai ga yuragu yoru ni mo
Kaze wo kakenuke egaite yuku
Asu e no bible
Surely, even in the night when the world wavers
I can dash through the winds and create
A bible to tomorrow
永へ続く眩しい場所へ。。。
Towa e tsuzuku mabushii basho e...

Translation - Dream Believer
Another translation! Because I'm going pretty good with these. For now. :) Translations are tedious indeed...
"Dream Believer" is the last opening song to the Tennis no Oujisama anime. It really is a beautiful song, with amazing visuals and a great beat. It's something I always listen to when I'm feeling down.
Credit again goes to Ore-Sama for the romanji and kanji lyrics, and again I provide the disclaimer that this is not a professional translation, but I've done the best I can to make it accurate. Please enjoy. :)

Dream Believer - Osamu Masaki
どこが始まりで
どこが終わりなんて
気がつけば走ってたんだ
Doko ga hajimari de
Doko ga owari nante
Ki ga tsukeba hashittetanda
Where’s the start?
Where’s the end?
I was running before I realized it
タイトな雨にだって
ヘビーな風にだって
絶対に負けないスピードで
TIGHT na ame ni datte
HEAVY na kaze ni datte
Zettai ni makenai SPEED de
Even in tight rain,
Even in heavy wind,
I was going with a speed no one could beat.
(Wake up!)
震える指先
(Get up!)
握り締めて ぎゅっと
(Stand up!)
息を深く吸って
また世界は加速する
Wake up!
Furueru yubisaki
Get up!
Nigirishimete gyutto
Stand up!
Iki wo fukaku sutte
Mata sekai wa kasoku suru…
Wake up!
Trembling fingertips…
Get up!
Grasp them tightly
Stand up!
Take a deep breath
Even the world will increase its speed…
It's gonna be O.K!
飛び交う彗星が
描く軌跡を追いかけて
(gonna) be O.K!
光の中走る
すぐそこにある夢を信じて
It's gonna be O.K!
Tobikau suisei ga
Egaku kiseki wo oikakete
(gonna) be O.K!
Hikari no naka hashiru
Sugu soko ni aru yume wo shinjite…
It’s gonna be O.K!
Comets flying through the sky
Follow their painted tracks
(gonna) be O.K!
Inside the light, I’m running
Soon I’ll be there – believe in your dreams…
自分の宇宙が広がる感触が
楽しくてたまらないんだ
Jibun no uchuu ga hirogaru kanshoku ga
Tanoshikute tamaranainda
In my universe, my sensations can spread
But I can’t save my pleasure, can I?
強がりじゃなくて
形でもなくて
見えないものを信じるパワー
Tsuyogari ja nakute
Katachi demo nakute
Mienai mono wo shinjiru POWER
I'm not lying when I say that
There’s not even a form
For that unseen power I believe in
(Wake up!)
前だけ見つめて
(Get up!)
何も恐れないで
(Stand up!)
息を深く吸って
また世界は加速する
Wake up!
Mae dake mitsumete
Get up!
Nani mo osorenai de
Stand up!
Iki wo fukaku sutte
Mata sekai wa kasoku suru
Wake up!
Look at only what’s before you
Get up!
Don’t be afraid of anything
Stand up!
Take a deep breath
Even the world will raise its speed…
It's gonna be O.K!
飛び交う彗星が
描く軌跡を追いかけて
(gonna) be O.K!
言葉にはならない
あふれる思い抱いて未来へ
It's gonna be O.K!
Tobikau suisei ga
Egaku kiseki wo oikakete
(gonna) be O.K!
Kotoba ni wa naranai
Afureru omoi daite mirai e
It’s gonna be okay!
Comets flying through the sky
Follow their painted tracks
(gonna) be O.K!
Our words won’t echo, but
Our overflowing emotions embrace the future…
この先にもっと
何が待ってるんだ
それでも ただ
走り続けていくんだ
Nani ga matterun da
Sore demo tada
Hashiri tsuzukete ikun da
More than before,
What are we waiting for?
Even so,
Let’s continue running!
飛び交う彗星が
描く軌跡を追いかけて
(gonna) be O.K!
光の中走る
すぐそこにある夢を信じて
It's gonna be O.K!
Tobikau suisei ga
Egaku kiseki wo oikakete
(gonna) be O.K!
Hikari no naka hashiru
Sugu soko ni aru yume wo shinjite…
It’s gonna be O.K!
Comets flying through the sky
Follow their painted tracks
(gonna) be O.K!
Inside the light, I’m running
Soon I’ll be there – believe in your dreams…

Translation - FLOWER ~Sakimidareshi Hana~
This song is most definitely my favourite TeniPuri opening... that's right, out of all 11 that there's been so far. And one of my absolute favourite songs as well. :) I think it has an interesting message right off the bat in the first two lines that continues throughout the entire song, if you care to look deeply into it.
Plus, with an all-star vocal lineup consisting of Minagawa Junko (Echizen Ryoma), Okiayu Ryoutarou (Tezuka Kunimitsu), Suwabe Junichi (Atobe Keigo), and Kusunoki Taiten (Sanada Gen'ichirou), all of whom comprise the "band" GIGS, it's amazing to listen to as well.
I'll give credit to Ore-Sama for having the kanji and romanji, plus all the artists for producing an amazing song.
I'm not going to claim this a professional translation... because I am faaaar from being professional. But I did my best to translate it, so please enjoy~!
Flower -咲乱華-
Flower –Sakimidareshi Hana-
Flower –Blooming Riotously-
どんな色で着飾れば
自分らしくいられる？
ビルに欠けたあの空は
教えてはくれない
Donna iro de kikazareba
Jibun rashiku irareru?
BIRU ni kaketa ano sora wa
Oshiete wa kurenai
With the colour you’re wearing,
Can you be yourself?
Without its bills, that sky
Can’t teach us anything.
迷い込んだ迷路にも
必ず出口はある
立ち止まってしまったら
答えには着けない
Mayoi konda meiro ni mo
Kanarazu deguchi wa aru
Tachidomatte shimattara
Kotae ni wa tsukenai
Losing your way in a maze,
Surely there is a way out.
If you suddenly stop on the spot,
You’ll never reach an answer.
求めてるものが何だって
結末を急いじゃ いまがつまらないぜ
Motometeru mono ga nandatte
Ketsumatsu wo isoi jya ima ga tsumaranai ze
No matter what you’re searching for,
If you hurry to the end, you can’t have fun now.
咲き乱れて 華麗に舞え
プライドは脱ぎ捨てろ
誇り高く こころ燃やせ
偽りの色じゃ
本物にはなれやしないぜ
Saki midarete karei ni nare
PURAIDO wa nugisutero
Hokoritakaku kokoro moyase
Itsuwari no iro jya
Honmono ni wa nare yashinai ze
Bloom riotously, dance with splendor.
Throw off your pride.
Heighten your determination and let your heart burn.*
With false colours,
You can never be the real thing.
今すぐに欲しいものは
本当はわかっている
身体が震え出すほどの
最高のスリル
Ima sugu ni hoshii mono wa
Hontou wa wakatte iru
Karada ga furuedasu hodo no
Saikou no SURIRU
Right now, the thing I want…
I truly realize it.
As my body begins to tremble with
The most amazing thrill.
たどり着く場所が何処だって
結末を急いじゃ あすがつまらないぜ
Tadoritsuku basho ga doko datte
Ketsumatsu wo isoi jya asu ga tsumaranai ze
If we reach that place
And hurry to the end, tomorrow will be boring.
愛しいほど 胸を焦がせ
憂鬱さえ巻き込んで
狂おしくも 奇麗になれ
偽りの色じゃ
本物にはなれやしないぜ
Itoshii hodo mune wo kogase
Yuuutsu sae maki konde
Kuruoshikumo kirei ni nare
Itsuwari no iro jya
Honmono ni wa nare yashinai ze
Letting your “love” burn out your heart,
Even as gloom drags you down,
Like crazy, be beautiful.
With false colours,
You can never be the real thing.
形のない光がさす
場所で君を待っている
Katachi no nai hikari ga sasu
Basho de kimi wo matte iru
The shapeless light is burning.
In that place, it’s waiting for you.
咲き乱れて 華麗に舞え
プライドは脱ぎ捨てろ
誇り高く こころ燃やせ
終わらない旅へ
愛しいほど 胸を焦がせ
憂鬱さえ巻き込んで
狂おしくも 奇麗になれ
偽りの色じゃ
本物にはなれやしないぜ
Saki midarete karei ni mae
PURAIDO wa nugisutero
Hokoritakaku kokoro moyase
Owaranai tabi e
Itoshii hodo mune wo kogase
Yuuutsu sae maki konde
Kuruoshikumo kirei ni nare
Itsuwari no iro jya
Honmono ni wa nare yashinai ze
Bloom riotously, dance with splendor.
Throw off your pride.
Heighten your determination and let your heart burn
Towards the neverending journey…
Letting your “love” burn out your heart,
Even as gloom drags you down,
Like crazy, be beautiful.
With false colours,
You can never be the real thing.
