    [The JukeBox] #98 – Casiopea – Time Limit

    I previously covered the history of Casiopea almost 2 years ago in #82 highlighting Galactic Funk, but this time, I’m highlighting their first track of their very first album.

    Their self-titled album, released in May 1979 was released 2 years after their on-stage debut.

    Oricon didn’t create an albums charts until 1987, so we do not know how well the album did.

    The song would be re-released on their 1982 live album, Mint Jams.

    Romanji:
    Tsukiakari ga terashita michi de
    Kimino te o hiite kakeagatteku
    Sakkimade no ima wa moukako e
    Wazuka datte toki wa matte kurenai

    Hoshi no ame ga yuki ni sugata o kaete
    Sekai o kaeta
    Starlight: miageta yozora kirameki no umi
    Futari yasashiku terasu
    Starlight: furete shimaeba kowaresouna jikan
    Eien ni dakishimete itai
    Starlight:

    Zutto hitori dato akiramete ita
    Kodoku toiu ori de utsumuite ita
    Zasetsuno ame ni nureru tabi itsudatte kimi ga
    Iyashite kureta

    Itami no nai sekai wa naiyo
    Dakara tsuyosa o shireta

    Starlight: kimino te o tori
    Ikukounen no kyori o tobikoete yuku
    Starlight: kesshite samenai harukanaru
    Yumeno tochuu hanashi wa shinai kara

    Chiheisen kara asahi ga kao o misete
    Sekai o kaeta

    Starlight: tsuki no hikari ga asa ni toketemo
    Omoi, soko ni aru kara
    Starlight: kesshite samenai harukanaru
    Yumeno tochuu hanashi wa shinai kara
    Starlight:

    Starlight: namonaki hoshi o miageta futari wa
    Kitto tamashii no kyoumeisha
    Starlight:

    English:
    On the road lit by the moon
    Pulling your hand, running up to you
    The “present” until just now has already headed for the past
    Even if slightly, time does not wait

    The rain of stars changed to the appearance of snow
    the world has changed

    Starlight, looking up at the sea of the twinkling night sky, it shines gently on two people
    Starlight, if I touched the light, the time that seems about to break, i want to hold on to that for eternity
    STARLIGHT

    Always, i’ve given up my lonely self, hanging my head in shame in the jail of solitude
    The times when i touched the rain of setback, each time i was healed by you

    There’s no world without pain
    that’s why I know what’s strength

    Starlight taking you by the hand, flying over light years of distance
    Starlight is never awaken, on its way to the far away dream, because it’ll never leave you

    From the horizon, the morning sun shows its face
    the world has changed

    Starlight, even if the starlight melts into the morning, the thoughts are still there, that’s why
    Starlight, it’ll never by tainted, on its way to the far away dream, because it’ll never leave you.
    Starlight

    Starlight, the stars without even names, the two people gazing at them, I’m sure, are sympathizers in spirits
