I think it's not a bad translation, if not a bit literal with a few mistakes I caught. Like you seemed to confuse "kikoete" with "kikasete" at the end. Still, good job! Translation is hard and there's a lot going on in this song. I also like that it seems Ruki is singing about a woman he lost, but overall the language is genderless/somewhat feminine, so you could also interpret it as a bride marrying someone she doesn't want to, thinking about her true love. This is my take on it, but of course there are numerous ways to translate it depending on how poetic or literal you want to be. One Thousand Cranes your letter was full of indecipherable words face me, and let me hear it from your own lips it's hard to endure that white I’ll never get used to, and I hear only your sighs echo if I just knew the color of the sky, I could be saved I hope I can forget being unable to breathe someday, but it seems I don’t even have any strength left to wish it so if I sing “tomorrow, lying face down” it’ll be a sleep pricked with thorns my body, bound by restraints, even the mind seems to sleep the warmth on my cheek is gentle and makes me yearn the shadows I saw in the hazy void were those of warm-colored dreams my eyes reflected through you, should even a day come where I lose sight of you, will be forever burned in my vision on days when the sunlight filters through the trees, you won’t be there to lead me blurred white ripples and leaves me speechless tears fall down my face and land where? call my name hold me tightly until I break I’m scared to lose anything more than I already have where are you singing of me now? even if I cover my ears, I can only hear my irregular pulse echoing even the mind seems to sleep I can’t recall the warmth on my cheeks that should still be there the shadows I saw in the hazy void are those of a cold-colored reality a thousand very tiny paper cranes nestled themselves against your wish without even smiling back, during the final moments of my memories where I just counted your sighs… I heard your voice say, that morning I lost everything, “the two of us will never become one”
Thanks for your input! I worked really hard on this and at that time, I was struggling with Japanese. (But I am still struggling now because I haven't taken the language seriously the past 8 years... I wish I did but I have no motivation...) T-T I have updated versions and I wasn't able to update this since then. I think it's really hard to translate this because I really couldn't get what he means to say, especially with "utsubuse no asu". I don't get that at all. T___T I like your translation very much! Thanks for posting it here. I may just remove my translation on the CC once I regain access to this account. Thank you so much! --augen13schrei
As long as I remember they once mentioned in the interview that this song is about Kai secret admirer/? who gave him 1000 cranes origami when he is in hospital. But I forgot in which interview xDD
Japanese do this in their songs all the time. I don't know the reason though. He also says 体 (karada) while 身体 (shintai) is written in the lyrics. ----- This video just popped up in my recommended videos (god knows why). I remember listening to this song back in 2007 or something like that. I didn't speak a word of Japanese back then. Strange to listen to the same song many years later and all of a sudden understand the lyrics. Makes the song even better.
@sang1989able sure ^^ Aoi(black haired guitarist) is the eldest -> 33 years old (20 january) Uruha(the other guitarist) will be 31 years old on 9th June Reita(the bassist with noseband) will be 31 years old on 27th May Kai(the drummer) will be 31 years old on 28th October and Ruki (the vocal)is 30 years old (1th February)
Haha, Visual Kei finds you...not the other way round. I'm a 27yr old artist from UK and have been listening to this music since I was your age. You may go through tough times. happy times, but you can always come back here. :)
I can't believe Reita passed away, this is my favorite song of The Gazette since I was a highschooler and it breaks my heart to see this again, such a beautiful song, the best group ever, Reita will always live through his music 💐💐💐

i am 18 and i live in new york. i plan to move to florida for college. the high school i am at right now has about 200-225 in it, and it is K-12. i am one of 2 kids that like this music and wach anime.
Yeah ofc the parts where the girl is were filmed at a different time.This videoclip is the second version of this song..!But if u watch the movie ver u will see that the parts with the members are less than here.Anyway i will check another time because i have to go.Thanks anyway :D:D
I love the GazettE. Ten years after and I'm still listening to their old songs. They're so talented and amazing, I can't even express it in proper words.
Haha! Wooh! Highfive! And its so unfair, isn't it? The GazettE (along with other Jrock bands) are my life!! And woah! You live in Florida? Gawsh! I should like come and visit you and we can be the only two people in Florida who like The GazettE!!
there is a website called: jpopasia.com you can search songs there and it has english translation and japanese kamaji so you can sing along when you select a song.
i'm way past my japanese fever from my puberty and my emo-attempted times, but i've got to admit that the gazette's songs are the best ones in j-rock/visual-kei/hard j-rock, i like how ruki doesn't force his voice too much and i just love some of their songs, they are very well composed and complicated. in my opinion, the best song so far has been Pledge, that's just awesome, then goes cassis, then this one, the invisible wall, guren, and...i'm pretty sure i'm missing some others that i really like...they are the only j-rock artist i still keep songs of from years ago
+Irais M took the words right out of my mouth. lol as much as i cringe about my wannabe punk emo phase I'm grateful that i was able to expanded my genre of music.
I've been following them since I was 12 years old.. They used to show japanese music station on live tv.. For me this song has the most effect on me. I always feel sad, angry and heartbroken because of the lyrics itself.. The moment she kneel down in the raging sea, I felt how depressing my life before but now is perfect. Tq The GazettE for making the better me
I love how rich the bass is in this song, I may have to learn it. I wish I wasn't 3 when this song came out, I've missed out on so much good music because of my age. So glad they're still going now, when I finally have the chance to enjoy them. 💞
The lyrics are soooo deep with so much meaning into them.Probably the saddest song I've ever listened to .I can't stop my tears from flowing.Ruki is a genius for always writing such beautiful lyrics and not some random shit.
LOL Is it just me or does it look like they filmed the video on a beach in England?? 'Cause seriously... our weather here is like that most days... Aaahhh their music is too amazing
I miss the good old days when I found amazing bands from Japan like The GazettE, back then they gave me so much faith to change, and inspired me to learn Japanese and make art, I was so happy back then :) I hope one day I will be able to find some days that give me back the same good feeling, but still, I will always be grateful
Sorry, but does it bug you? I think its intresting that the fact people who range from different ages and countries all love this band. Its more than what you think. And to be honest, I care about their age and where they live, because it shows how much The GazettE affects them. Not just The GazettE, but music itself.
I am from Pakistan,i dont understand a word of this,but i have lost someone recently and the passion and emotion i feel from this video is un-believable,thank you the gazzetE,great work!

One Thousand Cranes
your letter was full of indecipherable words
face me, and let me hear it from your own lips
it's hard to endure that white I’ll never get used to,
and I hear only your sighs echo
if I just knew the color of the sky, I could be saved
I hope I can forget being unable to breathe someday,
but it seems I don’t even have any strength left to wish it so
if I sing “tomorrow, lying face down”
it’ll be a sleep pricked with thorns
my body, bound by restraints,
even the mind seems to sleep
the warmth on my cheek is gentle and makes me yearn
the shadows I saw in the hazy void
were those of warm-colored dreams
my eyes reflected through you,
should even a day come where I lose sight of you,
will be forever burned in my vision
on days when the sunlight filters through the trees,
you won’t be there to lead me
blurred white ripples
and leaves me speechless
tears fall down my face and land where?
call my name
hold me tightly until I break
I’m scared to lose anything more than I already have
where are you singing of me now?
even if I cover my ears, I can only hear my irregular pulse echoing
even the mind seems to sleep
I can’t recall the warmth on my cheeks that should still be there
the shadows I saw in the hazy void
are those of a cold-colored reality
a thousand very tiny paper cranes
nestled themselves against your wish
without even smiling back,
during the final moments of my memories where I just counted your sighs…
I heard your voice say,
that morning I lost everything,
“the two of us will never become one”
Ahhh by far the best translation I've found online so far :)
Jamie K. Right on!

They were always like five brothers, now one of them is dead. I hope they will manage to keep going and put their life together.
R.I.P. Reita.
They were ガゼット and now it is The GazettE. It is that simple
RIP Reita

Came back to it to listen to Reitas bass may he rest in peace 😢 i hope the band keeps on in his honor .

I listen this on full volume in the shower all the time!
Haha, Visual Kei finds you...not the other way round. I'm a 27yr old artist from UK and have been listening to this music since I was your age. You may go through tough times. happy times, but you can always come back here. :)

R.I.P Reita ❤ I am very heartbroken 💔 your music helped me so much. I hope you are playing in heaven too.

Why are they all so beautiful?
Rest in peace Reita, one of the greatest bassist ever
i have 16 years old and i living in Puerto Rico and I love The Gazette!!!! GAZEROCK IS NOT DEAD!!!!
2023 and i still loved this song🖤❤️🩹
Sama bro
2024 just randomly remembered
GAZEROCK is NOT DEAD FOREVER
Believe it or not, I start learning vibrato because I can't sing this part 1:10 back in the day.
its about two lovers who can't be together because one of them is dying and then dies at the end of the song
Anyone here on 2022 still hearing them and remembering childhood?
Childhood? I was college student when I heard. Still nostalgic tho 😊
@@Jinrou_Yumeno it was a dream for me to visit Japan one day and see them 😢 but i don't know if they are still performing live
I was teenager when I found The Gazette & Dir En Grey.
i am 18 and i live in new york. i plan to move to florida for college. the high school i am at right now has about 200-225 in it, and it is K-12. i am one of 2 kids that like this music and wach anime.
kanojo okarishimasu
me too lol
They are divine QQ
This track remains untouched in my memory since the first time I've heard it almost a decade ago 🤘
They do ROCK!!!
Gazette is one band of my past that I will never grow out of. Everytime I hear them the fangirl inside me wakes up
fanboy here
Yeah ofc the parts where the girl is were filmed at a different time.This videoclip is the second version of this song..!But if u watch the movie ver u will see that the parts with the members are less than here.Anyway i will check another time because i have to go.Thanks anyway

Honestly this is in my top 3 songs ever made and I heard this when it was new.
Here as well. :)

Stacked Rubbish has the best songs imo
There was the edited version of chizuru pv and this time the clips from the korean movie apartment were placed in this version.

I've never seen so much Reita in a video.
歌︰the gazette
作詞︰流鬼
作曲︰the gazette
あなたの手紙には読めない字だけ
会ってその口から聞かせて欲しい
慣れない白は苦手 吐息さえ響く
空の色さえ知れたら救われるのに
上手く出来ぬ呼吸もいつか忘れたい
そう願える強さも 干涸びそうで
「うつ伏せの明日」歌えば棘を伝う睡眠
身体に絡ませられたRestraint
Even the mind seems to sleep
頬に触れた熱はとても懐かしく優しい
朦朧の狭間で見た影 暖色の夢
あなたに映る私の目が
あなたを見失う日が来ても
この目に焼き付いてくれている
木洩れ陽の日々とあなたは
連れて行かないで
滲む白が揺れる
言葉も忘れそう
涙は流れて何処へ行くの
私の名前を呼んで
砕けるくらい抱いて
これ以上失うのは怖い
あなたは何処で私の事歌っているの
耳をすましても響くのは不安定な鼓動
頬に残ってたはずの熱が思い出せない
朦朧の狭間で見たのは 寒色の現実(いま)
千羽のとても小さな
あなたの願いに寄り添って
笑顔も返せずにただ
吐息を数えていた記憶の最期に…
あなたの声が聞こえて
全てを無くした朝
「ひとつになれぬ二人」
Am I seriously the only one who wants to get married in the dress the girl is wearing? It's so pretty! *w*
I love how rich the bass is in this song, I may have to learn it. I wish I wasn't 3 when this song came out, I've missed out on so much good music because of my age. So glad they're still going now, when I finally have the chance to enjoy them. 💞
Yes, I saw the trailer
Someone listening in 2020?
YESS!
Me 2021
omg, don't get mad at me but that guy's voice (ruki I think) is so close to Gackt's, I just about fell in love
The lyrics are soooo deep with so much meaning into them.Probably the saddest song I've ever listened to .I can't stop my tears from flowing.Ruki is a genius for always writing such beautiful lyrics and not some random shit.
gazerock never dies !!
LOL Is it just me or does it look like they filmed the video on a beach in England?? 'Cause seriously... our weather here is like that most days... Aaahhh their music is too amazing
Chills. Literally chills. Used to listen to this 10 years ago or so.. the memories

Orah Ron I got most of their albums and singles, so yeah.
+Toornap Tarraa wooow!! Thats cool. I guess m the only African who knows them.
They are not that famous here.
Orah Ron Yeah, they're not that famous up here in Greenland either, which it sucks.
Mister, you're my hero.
Can't believe this song is 10 years old! 2007 feels like yesterday :(
Now this song 12 years old, and less than a month it will be 13 years.
Lol this song is now 14 years old. I hate time 😭
from future
Now it's been 15 year are you still here fellow friend?
@@mariaantagotsiritze9568 yep, right here!
I'm a 90 years old helicopter and im flying in the sky while listetning to this song...
I'm from Brazil. And this is the first song that I listen of them. I'm totally in love
just 1 word. Great!!
Love these guys! Haven't stop listening since middle school and will prolly keep on listening till I'm on my deathbed!
Ruki's eyes are like magnetic.
Perfection, this song is perfection
Im 20 yrs old live in florida and i have a huge group of friends who listen to this kind of music and watch anime.
I like how defeated the drummer looks at 5:37.
+SerperiorSC2 Lmao
btw his name is Kai
lol xD he looks like he just had his brand new ps4 broke right after he got it +SerperiorSC2
Lol true. He even drops his drum sticks, aw D;

I Love the gazette 💓
Love this band so much
Just Discovered The GazettE, and love them.
I'll wish they'll do more Prog rock/metal like this in future rather than keep following western trends, that surely made them sound more unique.
Well, that's the whole thing about music.
Magnificent awesomeness
Sorry, but does it bug you? I think its intresting that the fact people who range from different ages and countries all love this band. Its more than what you think.
And to be honest, I care about their age and where they live, because it shows how much The GazettE affects them. Not just The GazettE, but music itself.
Such a fantastic song. ❤
It's even better than TOXIC!
If I could give this song the love button I would. I dont know what he says ,but it feels so deep to me.
I am from Pakistan,i dont understand a word of this,but i have lost someone recently and the passion and emotion i feel from this video is un-believable,thank you the gazzetE,great work!
anybody know that this song is soundtrack of korean movie???
Ibrahim Isa yes, and that movie is 'Apartment'
In wich part of the movie the song played?
黒春 TM in credit scene
Ibrahim Isa Thanks
GAZEROCK IS NOT DEAD
really love the song~~~~ my kokorooo!!! so saadd
In a way, these lyrics remind me of the story of the girl who tried making 1000 cranes to get her wish.
10 años después y y los sigo escuchando en plena pandemia
i don`t know waht they say but: i love this song and this video !!!*-*
God, this song is haunting yet beautiful.
