Ryu's Blog

Some people may wonder why I post lyrics on my blog. There’re various occasions why I do that. Sometimes the song’s the one I feel like listening to again and again at that particular period. Other times I found the lyric resonates with my thoughts or myself in some ways. And sometime I just like the lyric itself. I also enjoy making lyric translation from time to time (those without reference are my translation), that’s why most lyrics I posted are translated from Japanese songs. I think Japanese is an extremely beautiful language. They use many poetic words that can give rise to lots of different interpretations or can conjure different images. Translating the lyric thus help me to understand the song better and also allow me some freedom to my interpretation I like to the music. I guess one or more of the above reasons (as well as my capricious behavior) motivate me to share the lyrics on my blog.
