sacchanxdHi. So I've been sick since Sunday hence I couldn't do anything productive, but just this morning I tried translating an episode of Kanjani Chronicle, turns out those are pretty long. So I've no idea when I'll get that finished, but for now, have this. It's one of my favorites by the awesome GOMESS, a track from his あい album, Densetsu feat. daoko.
I got the basic kanji and English translations from here, so credits go there. I just tweaked it a tiny bit, translated it to what I felt it meant to me, and added romaji based on the kanji and by ear. Please bear in mind I do not read kanji nor did I ever formally study Japanese, so... yeah. Enjoy.

伝説
Tradition (Legend?)
If the moon is beautiful, then maybe...
There's no way, but
I'll sing
Repeated delusions, it's scary but I see that sky
Hey look, inside of me
Hey someone, help him
The voice and eyes I saw are drifting away
Yesterday was my beloved friend's birthday party. The place was at the usual bar in Dogenzaka.
Shaking, I wrapped the sense of hip hop in a different box, just as planned
I finished early and went to meet up, said congratulations with a smile on my face
Everyone who came had the same intention. Our friend laughed, we laughed too
You'll eventually forget the fun days, so with a "yes, cheese!" we'll leave some photos
These feelings won't die out till morning, I won't forget this smile my whole life
Feeling happiness I never even dreamed of. As if last year's pains didn't even exist
I'm already intoxicated with this happiness. Blow out the candles and turn on the light.
The words I've gotten used to seeing on my iPhone screen, a middle school girl's broadcast jump
As if waking up from a dream, my eyes blurred. It was a stranger, why am I crying?
I've desperately been living by always trying to believe in things I haven't seen
Someday even if I can't see something I should be able to see, I can keep on living that way
Repeated delusions, it's scary but I see that sky
Hey look, inside of me
Hey someone, help him
The voice and eyes I saw are drifting away
Even if I forgot what I saw waking up from a dream
Even if I couldn't recognize what was in front of me as reality
There's one memory in my heart that reminds me
Tomorrow, yesterday, about you. It's okay, I'll remember again in a song
I'm probably used to this tradition. In this scene where you can't see the stars
Even if there wasn't another side to this sky, it doesn't really matter
I'll entrust it to these words that I'll deliver to you
Thank you
Repeated delusions, it's scary but I see that sky
Hey look, inside of me
Hey someone, help him
The voice and the eyes I saw are drifting away
Alone, I wonder if my song will reach anyone
Hey, listen. No one knows, you, wherever you are.
Someday for sure, someday for sure

OKAYYY so there it is. Mistakes abound, corrections welcome.
I love GOMESS but his songs are pretty hard to translate and convey in English, IMO. I might put up lyrics of some of his other songs if I can find the kanji for them. But since I have the Ai album I might upload lyrics to his Ningen Shikkaku sometime soon.
And for those of you who don't know much of him, I hope with this you do! He's awesome.

伝説
月が綺麗だったらもしかしたら
そんな訳ないけど
歌うよ
繰り返し妄想して怖いけどあの空を見る
ねえ見てよ私の中を
ねえ誰か助けてあげてよ
見た目と声と離れていくよ
昨日は大好きな友達の誕生会 場所はいつもの道玄坂のバー
俺は別の箱でイカしたＨＩＰＨＯＰに体揺らしまくり予定通り
早めに切り上げて会いに行ったおめでとうの言葉を笑顔で届けた
集まった奴は皆そのつもりだ友達は笑った俺たちも笑った
楽しい日々は過ごせば忘れる だからハイチーズ写真に残してあげる
この気持ちは朝まで絶えないし この笑顔は一生忘れることが出来ない
夢にも思わなかった喜びを感じて 去年までの苦しみはないとして
この幸せにもう少し酔いしれて ろうそくの火を消して明かりをつける
iPhoneの画面に見慣れない文字列 女子中学生の飛び降り中継
俺は夢から覚めたように目がくらんだ 知らない人なのにどうして泣いてんだ
いつも見たことがないものだけを信じようと必死で生きていた
いつかは見えるはずのものが見えなくなってもそう言い切れるんだって信じていた
繰り返し妄想して
怖いけどあの空を見る
ねえ見てよ私の中を
ねえ誰か助けてあげてよ
見た目と声と離れていくよ
夢から覚めたときに見えていたことを思い出せなくなったとしても
目の前にあるものが現実だったって認識さえ出来なくなっても
心の中にある一つの思い出が自分のことを思い出させるから
明日昨日君のこと大丈夫また歌で思い出すよ
伝説にきっとなれたんだ 星なんか見えないこの景色の
この空の向こう側になんていなくたって別に構わないから
君がこの世界に残したかった伝説を絶対忘れないように
この言葉に託して君まで届けよう
ありがとう
繰り返し妄想して
怖いけどあの空を見る
ねえ見てよ私の中を
ねえ誰か助けてあげてよ
見た目と声と離れていくよ
一人私の歌を誰にも届かないのかな
ねえ聞いてよだれも知らないどこかのあなた
きっといつかきっといつか
