More Arashi lyrics by request - my first Sho solo translation this time, Anti Anti. The title was originally Unti Unti but changed in later years, which is a good thing since 'unti' spelled with kana would be ウンチ and ahem anyway. I'm guessing it was originally meant to be "anti anti" anyway, as in "anti-Arashi" or "anti-hiphop" and stuff, considering the "screw you, haters!" tone of the lyrics.

I also had a request for Pen no Sasu Houkou, specifically chapter III, but I can't find the kanji lyrics anywhere. :x If anyone knows where they might be, let me know!

Arashi (Sakurai Sho) - Unti Unti / Anti Anti


Mata kaidan noboru tori ga habataku you ni
Kawa no nagare sakarau hitogomi kakiwake
Kono makki shoujou hana sakasu kichinto ichirin no
Masshiroi canvas ni egaku sara ni dekaku

Mada mawaru chikyuu wa
Mawaru kawariyuku machinami
Mou tomarazu (saisoku de ubaitoru)
Sora takaku (idol ga dore hodo ka misete yaru yo)

I'll go! You just wait
I must run on the way
It's not over yet
I must run on my way
Sono toki made sono saki made

Ah mou ii gaiya damatte na
Soko no nomiya de IZM katatte na
Maru de tannee na tateru antenna
Kimira miteru no sore wa asatte dattenda
How many girls did you get?
Ore wa kondake ninzuu iru ze
Takaga idol fuzei ga title ubaitoru
Saisoku de ubaitoru

I'll go! You just wait
I must run on the way
It's not over yet
I must run on my way
There's no need to know
What may happen to me
There's no need to stop
I want to look for me
Sono toki made sono saki made



(Spoken lines in the beginning)
Guy1: Arashi? Nah, I'm not interested.
Guy2: I don't know if I'd call Johnny's hip hop...
Sho: Then I'll show you what an idol is made of!

I'm gonna climb the stairs again, like a bird taking flight
Go against the river's flow, push through the crowd
Even in this terminal state, I can still make this one flower bloom
I'll paint on a pure white canvas, bigger and bigger

As the earth is still spinning
The face of the town keeps on changing
I won't stop (gonna be the fastest to take it)
High into the sky (I'll show you what an idol is made of)

I'll go! You just wait
I must run on the way
It's not over yet
I must run on my way
Until that time, until I get there

All right, you guys on the sidelines, keep quiet
Talk about your IZMs in that bar there
That antenna you're holding up is nowhere near enough
I told you guys, what you're watching for comes the day after tomorrow
How many girls did you get?
I've got all these fans
And I stole the title in that "just an idol" style you look down on
Faster than any of you

I'll go! You just wait
I must run on the way
It's not over yet
I must run on my way
There's no need to know
What may happen to me
There's no need to stop
I want to look for me
Until that time, until I get there



...And I'm pretty sure his use of IZM was referring to isms. As in the suffix -ism. The Japanese seem to like attaching it to random words (kinda like Americans do, really XD).

It all makes sense now, after 4 incredible years! "Sono toki" did really come, in the end... *__*

I've wanted this song translated since the first time I heard it [still a newbie-Arashi fan, but still], it's like my favorite solo song x_x
Again, thank you :D :D :D

Oh wow, I never thought that this song would be SO powerful in its lyrics! I mean, I had expected it to be more than a sweet love song, the way he sings it, but that it's so explicitely against people who look down on him for being an idol? Really, just ...wow. *___*
And really, who better to sing a song like this than Sho, who has mentioned in interviews that some of his family's acquintances looked down on him for becoming an idol? I wouldn't be surprised if he thought of people like that when singing that song. ^-^

(Though the "how many girls did you get?" part seriously cracked me up. It's such a guy argument. XD)

Though I always thought he was saying, I must run all the way... heh

As far as I know, they're just random guys... though it wouldn't surprise me if they're some of Johnny's staff in disguise or something :P

I B SLACKIN' ON DEM COMMENTZ. (Sorry ;^;)
... U-Unchi FTW!

I wonder how Japanese fans and non-Japanese fans who can read and understand Japanese would react if they never changed it. Angry Sho singing passionately about ... poop?! :D;;

He'd probably get away with it 'cause he's sucha dorky heartthrob.

A-And I never listened to this song before. It's playing right now ... and I must say that Sho should look into the J-Rock field. Srsly. ♥

Bahaha. I can't call this song anything but "Unchi Unchi" now. XD

He did always say he was a fan of X Japan and Luna Sea. Sometimes it shows, and it's pretty darned cool. :o ...But. KEEP AIBA AWAY FROM JROCK/VKEI. >___> Ahem... inside joke on Hitsuji o Kazoe. VERY DANGER! *runs*

...I'm SO gonna watch that Utaban today. It sounded hilarious. Plus, it's already being requested. XD

UWAAA!!! It's here! ThankyouThankyouThankyou!!! I'm SO happy right now! This song always gets me in the fighting/'I can do anything' mood so I sort of knew he was singing ~against~ something but understanding all of it really makes it better.
Happy me bribes you with some pretty heavy cookies.. ;)

Thank you for this lyrics translation :-) I just got the Arashi Around Asia+in Dome DVD recently and I really loved this solo by Sho. I was just wondering... does this song appear on any of the albums? Or is it just sung at the concert?

Nope, as far as I know, it was only performed in concerts (and possibly played on his radio show) :o

Lol, I have to confess I thought it was...unchi>< (but that could work both ways, like, don't give Arashi...)

Anyway, 質問があるんですけど、聞いていいの? How did you come to the conclusion of Anti-Anti? (just curious). And this may not be part of the lyrics, but I've been trying to work out what the guys have been saying for a while. I've got guy1 saying あ、嵐、いや、興味ないっすね, What does the other guy say?

Anyway, I don't see how you have trouble with English. I like this translation (and all I've read so far). Thank you

Actually the song was included on some DVD they released in that past few years, and it was listed as Anti Anti there, so I can't take credit for that alteration XD

To be honest, I'm still not 100% sure what the second guy in the intro said. :x I did a lot of google searching to see how Japanese fans heard it, but even that turned up several different opinions, and all of them sounded different from what I was hearing myself. I checked it again since you brought it up, though... and I think originally I was hearing "Johnny'sでhip hopって言うもんねぇ" or something like that... but now that I listen again, it might be "Johnny'sでhip hopって言うのもねぇ" ...in which case an edit becomes necessary. x_x Blasted unclear echoing random guy drowned out by music! ...ahem, anyway *edits post*

Well, English isn't where I have problems... my issue is with speaking. ^^; On the computer I have plenty of time to think and check over everything I say/translate before anyone reads it, but speaking out loud is another story, lol...

Well if it's listed on the DVD, then that'd be right. Except I swear some lyric writers don't even know what they're writing in English sometimes >< (Truth excluded!)

For this guy2 thing 迷惑かけてごめんね. I'd check with my jap friends, but now I have a short holiday and I'm back home without japanese buddies(but I might get around asking what they hear later). Guy2 will never know how much confusion he's caused.
Reading what you've got and listening to the song, I'd go with you're second sentence...keeping in mind my 'experience' in Japanese, and I'm the one who asked.

Speaking's a tough component out of the four. But throughout high school listening exams was the toughest for me. So if you've got that I think speaking's just a matter of time and practise.
