Hello all,
Thank you for the support on my announcement.
It appears that a music association is claiming rights to the actual kanji lyrics used in a good amount of my posts and says that reproducing these lyrics is unlawful.
I'm debating what to do from here on out. I'll keep you guys updated.

Hi guys.
I know that I've been pretty spotty on updating this blog and doing translations over the last ten or so years. The motivation comes and goes along with whatever's going on in life. I was just prepping to get started again when I got hit with nearly 20 copyright notices just a couple weeks ago.
No real explanation as for why, and no real pattern to them either.
As of right now I'm trying to decide what to do. I may be migrating the blog to a different host, or if I can figure out what I need to do to avoid copyright here on blogger I may have to change the way I post. I'll post an update again when I make a decision.
Regardless, I'm hoping I'll get things up and going again really soon.
Thanks to everyone who has stuck with me and supported me all these years. I truly appreciate each and every person that comes by to see what I work on.
Much love ♡
Hana
永遠の時の中で選ばれた
与え賜う この光の命を
Tokoshie1 no toki no naka de erabareta
Ataetamou Kono hikari no inochi wo
In this eternal time, I chose
To receive the light of this life.
抱いたままに降りる階段で
未知なる印された未来へ向かえば
Daita mama ni oriru kaidan de
Michinaru shirusareta mirai he mukaeba
As I embraced it, I descended the stairs
To face a future marked “unknown”.
幾万の聴こえる産声が…
遥か遠くへと響く予兆を
Ikuman no kikoeru ubugoe ga…
Haruka tooku he to hibiku yochou wo
I can hear so many birth cries…
The omen echoes far away in the distance.
抱いたままに降りる階段で
未知なる印された未来へと
Daita mama ni oriru kaidan de
Michinaru shirusareta mirai he to
As I embraced it, I descended the stairs
To face a future marked “unknown”.
Don't you cry 夜が明けていく
Don't you cry 照らされる
Don't you cry 瞼を開けて
Don't you cry 吸い込んで
Don’t you cry Yo ga aketeiku
Don’t you cry Terasareru
Don’t you cry Mabuta wo akete
Don’t you cry Suikonde
Don’t you cry The night will grow lighter
Don’t you cry And you’ll be illuminated.
Don’t you cry Open your eyes
Don’t you cry And breathe.
物語の序章が息吹いて
穹蒼と地が創造られた
Monogatari no joshou ga ibuite
Oozora2 to chi ga tsukurareta3
With a breath, the legend's prologue
Created the wide sky and the earth.
Don't look back 前だけを見て
Don't look back 踏み出して
Don't look back 太陽に手が
Don't look back 届くように
Don’t look back Mae dake wo mite
Don’t look back Fumidashite
Don’t look back Taiyou ni te ga
Don’t look back Todoku you ni
Don’t look back Just look forward
Don’t look back And go forth
Don’t look back So that your hands
Don’t look back Will reach the sun.
死線越えては 昇る階段
行き交うものは 幾億の夜
摘まれた蕾も いつかは散りゆく
幾度、深く 愛されて
Shisen koete ha Noboru kaidan
Ikikau mono ha Ikuoku no yoru
Tsumareta hana4 mo Itsuka ha chiriyuku
Ikutabi, fukaku Ai sarete
The ascending stairs cross the line between life and death.
That which comes and goes are the innumerable nights.
Someday, even the flower you picked will scatter to pieces.
You'll be deeply loved over and over again.
Notes
1. "Eien" ("eternity") is written, while Rami sings "tokoshie", which means the same thing
2. The kanji compound here is made of "kyou" ("sky") and "ao" ("blue"). Together they would probably be pronounced "kyousou", but Rami sings "oozora" ("vast sky, heavens") instead.
3. The compound written is "souzou" ("creation"), while Rami sings it as "tsukurareta" ("made, created"). The second kanji in the compound can be ready as "tsukuru", so it goes with the "tsukurareta".
4. "Tsubomi" ("flower bud") is written, but Rami sings "hana" ("flower").

私が私であるために創造り出す光
彷徨った過去の道なんて
もう見えない
Watashi ga watashi de aru tame ni tsukuridasu1 hikari
Samayotta kako no michi nante
Mou mienai
With the light I created so I could be myself,
I can no longer see
The path of the past I wandered in.
私が私であるために切り拓いた未来
この先で彷徨ったとしても

I cut through the future so I could be myself.
Even if I get lost beyond this point,
I’m not alone.

The weakness of my heart gets in my way.
I want to change it to strength and run on through.

Ah, I start to run, and my ideals spread before me.
不可能なことなんて何もない

Believing in the power that I was born with,
There is nothing that is impossible.

Ah Hikisaita kokoro no moya wo torinozoite
Ah Okasareta uchi ni himeru arechi ni mizu wo
Ah, take away the haze that rends my heart
Ah, and hide it within the wilderness taken over by water.
Notes
1. The kanji compound here is "souzou" ("creation"), but Rami sings it as "tsuku(ridasu)". "Tsukuru" means "to make, to create".

Overflowing in that smiling face…

Untangling them and shaking them off.

If my heart awakens,
Even if it’s in the wounded night,
Even if it wounds the night,
It will whisper softly:
“Let’s live on, cuddling even closer than we are now.”

The words I received from you
Lead me with a smile.
No matter what difficult things may come,
We’ll overcome it together.

「変わらずに寄り添い、生きていこう」
Nugui kirenai fuan no hibi mo
Yagate kieyuku to, shinjiteiru
Ikunen no saki mo zutto
“Kawarazu ni yorisoi, ikiteikou”
I believe that even the days where we couldn’t dispel our worries
Will finally disappear.
Forever, no matter how many years are before us,
“Let’s live on, nestling close as we usually do.”

Even if I have to pass through restless days,
If our eyes will meet, I’ll smile.
守りたい、言葉も笑顔も
共に歩いていける、未知なる路を

While holding each other tightly,
Then that single happiness we have in this world will be dear.
