Ganbatte miru yo yarerudake

As rika_66 as already posted the song today here, I thought to post the lyrics for it. Спасибо за твердую работу! I wish she would post more in English! Her reviews and thoughts about Jdramas and SMAP are just wonderful :) *nudges rika_66*


Since everyone has different environment
growing up in,
you can't blame anyone for having
(different) likes and dislikes.
You may not like summer,
and you may happen to like Serori (Celery).

Furthermore we are a man and a woman.
It can't be helped not clicking exactly.
We may have to compromise,
and may sometimes expect too much.

What kind of chances,
what kind of timings,
happened to bring us together?

The time I'm longing for,
The night I'm yearning for,
I wanna stay with you,
as long as possible.

Originally we are complete strangers,
so you can't blame having different values.
You might like the fads,
but also like the good old (traditional) ways.

I cannot be with you
bending my characters,
holding down my thoughts.
We cannot get along well that way.
I wanna stay with you
as long as we can
having a wonderful time.

I'll try to do my best as much as I can.
(I want you to) try to do your best a little more.
After all is said and done,
Frankly speaking,
I just like you.

I can understand rika_66 when she said she feels she cannot convey her thoughts in English when she is writing a review, so she won't post in English. But it is such a pity that not a lot of ppl from dorama_chat/SMAP can read her entries. I just loved her recent bushi no ichibun and SMAP songs reviews.
Good thing I can read Kyrilic at least, so I know the gist of what she is writing about, but man, most of the time I have to guess as some of the words don't appear in my dictionary *lol*

And Dian, your icon is just LUV!!

Heee... I love my "kimura glasses" icon too :) I ADORE Kimura in your banner, btw. I adore going to your page, period, 'cause the banner and layout is simply so my type, LOL. Of course, I love my own layout too, now, thanks to you, haha. *hugs*

I love that banner pig. I even have it as my cell phone wallpaper :) Still not sure what ring tone I want to have though ...

as some of the words don't appear in my dictionary

I know, I know... Poor Una... I'm afraid I use slang words too often. :)

Don't worry most of the time I understand what you are saying :) And it is good to challenge me like this - I think now I can understand more kyrilic than I ever did during my university courses *LOL*

I think now I can understand more kyrilic than I ever did

Than this is great! I feel proud of you (and of myself, too - that I make you to put your Russian language back in a good shape ;) )

[scottishlass.livejournal.com]

LOL ... feel proud of yourself!! I tried to avoid Russian for the longest time in years :)
Btw, I did read your posting today, but didn't comment because I find not words on how to change things in your country. I'm aware of some of the aspects in Russian economy and also how life changed from the USSR to Perestroika to now the Putin Russia, but somehow I find no words. :(

but somehow I find no words. :(

((Una)), don't worry, in fact I didn't really wait you to make comments to that post of mine. So don't feel obliged to say anything if it's difficult, or the theme is not comfortable for you - I understand quite well that for a foreigner this is difficult to comment the situation. I wrote about our inner pains, frustrations and sorrows, when we recall the collapse of the country we were born in, and the decade of chaos after it, in 90s.

I find not words on how to change things in your country.

Well, from my personal point of view, :) the way things are changing in last 6-7 years is quite good and the right one for us. There are still enough of very serious problems, but the life became so much better since 90s that it even difficult to compare. This is like night and day. The whole atmosphere in society is different: if in the 90s it was mostly depressive and apocalyptic, now it is more energetic and optimistic.

Theoretically, my country - or better the re-unification of my country was one of the reasons of the downfall of the USSR. So you are right, I do feel umcomfortable.
