Jpop Recommend #70 Seishun Photograph by Little Glee Monster

青春フォトグラフ

Little Glee Monster

Released just a few weeks ago in March 2015, this is another "卒業ソング (Sotsugyo, graduation) song".
I planned to recommend "Seifuku" by Seiko Matsuda today but I changed my mind after listening to their music.  Little Glee Monster is a group of talented 6 girls, just debuted in 2013.  
Their music video shows well about the high school girl's life and the Japanese graduation ceremony.  Bitter-sweet memories of school life!  You've gotta check this out!

校舎    裏 に 寄せ書き してた
Kousya-ura ni yosegaki shiteta
On the back side of our school, we scribbled our messages
誰     にも  読まれ  ない ような 場所  に
Dare nimo yomare nai youna basho ni
on a place that no one can find
着崩した       制服    を 今日  は ちゃんと 着たら
Kikuzushita seifuku wo kyou wa chanto   kitara
As we fully dressed up in our uniform, not like the way we do everyday,

大人    に 見えた の は きっと
Otona ni  mieta no wa kitto
The reason why we looked like an adult was probably
胸     に  飾った   花    の  せい じゃない
mune ni kazatta hana no sei  jyanai
not the flower corsage we put on our uniform
ねえ いつも  どおり ふざけた  顔  で
Nee, itsumo doori  fuzaketa kao de
Hey, as usual with our funny faces
最後  に  写真     を  撮ろう よ
saigo ni shashin wo torou yo
let's take a photo together for the last time

ほら  最高    の  顔   で ポーズ!
Hora, saikou no kao de pose!
Look, pose for the picture with your best smile!
ほら   最高    の  顔  で  ピース!
Hora, saikou no kao de peace!
Look, show the "peace" sign with your best smile!
笑い    すぎて  涙      が 出て  来た だけ
Warai sugite namida ga dete kita dake
I cried just because I laughed too much
ああ 寂しく      なんか ない マイ・フレンズ
Ah   sabishiku nanka nai    my friends
Ah, it's not that I already miss you, my friends

黒板       なんか 書き 写す    より
Kokuban nanka kaki utsusu yori
Rather than writing down what is written on the blackboard,
想い出   を   書き 留めれば 良かった
Omoide wo kaki tomereba yokatta
I should've written down the memories
ありふれた 毎日   は  全部 記念日   だった
Arifureta mainichi wa zenbu kinenbi datta
Those ordinal days were all the anniversaries for us

大人   に 明日   から  なる の
Otona ni ashita kara naru no
From tomorrow, we will turn into adult
今日   まで   は 子供       の まま   で いい
Kyou made wa kodomo no mama de ii
Just for today, we can still remain as a child
ねえ いつも  どおり はしゃいで 見せて
Nee, itsumo doori   hasyaide misete
Hey, as always let's have a blast 
みんな で 写真      を   撮ろう よ
Minna de shashin wo torou yo
and take photos together with all of us

ほら  最高    の  顔   で ポーズ!
Hora, saikou no kao de pose!
Look, pose for the picture with your best smile!
ほら   最高    の  顔  で  ピース!
Hora, saikou no kao de peace!
Look, show the "peace" sign with your best smile!
可笑し  すぎて   涙      が 出て 来た だけ
Okashi sugite namida ga dete kita dake
I cried just because it was so funny
ああ 笑わせ     ないで よ マイ・フレンズ
Ah   warawase naide yo   my friends
Ah, don't make me laugh, my friends

平気  な ふり を  させて  よ ねえ
Heiki na furi wo sasete yo nee
Please make me pretend it's OK, would you?
最後   まで   強がらせて
Saigo made tsuyogarasete
Please make me act strong till the last moment
教室           を   出た  瞬間     に
Kyoushitsu wo deta shunkan ni
The moment I leave the classroom,
みんな に 背中    向けて  思いっきり 泣く  から
Minna ni senaka mukete omoikkiri naku kara
I will cry my heart out turning my back from you guys

ほら  時間  止めて  今   ポーズ!
Hora, jikan tomete ima pose!
Look, stop the moment and pose for the picture!
ほら  涙        止めて  今   ピース!
Hora namida tomete ima peace!
Look, stop the tears and show the "peace" sign!
ありがと  さよなら ずっと  忘れない   よ
Arigato sayonara zutto wasurenai yo
Thank you and good-bye, I won't forget you forever
ああ 卒業         しても   マイ・フレンズ
Ah   sotsugyou shitemo my friends
Ah, even after we graduate, my friends

ほら  最高    の  顔   で ポーズ!
Hora, saikou no kao de pose!
Look, pose for the picture with your best smile!
ほら   最高    の  顔  で  ピース!
Hora, saikou no kao de peace!
Look, show the "peace" sign with your best smile!
笑い    すぎて  涙      が 出て  来た だけ
Warai sugite namida ga dete kita dake
I cried just because I laughed too much
ああ 寂しく      なんか ない マイ・フレンズ
Ah   sabishiku nanka nai    my friends
Ah, it's not that I already miss you, my friends
