Senior Quotes

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Ack! First time posting, it makes it super nervous!!!

Hey everyone~ I have a favor/question to ask of the community~

I'll be graduating soon, and for my school's yearbook we have to come up with our "favorite quote." While I may have "favorite quotes," they are either too playful or they just don't seem to fit what I would like to put in a yearbook (you know?) Plus I never found out who said them, if anyone ever did, but that's beside the point.......

So, my favor/question to the community is this:

Coming from Arashi (from interviews or songs) do you have any memorable quotes that leave an impact, or even left one on you?


While the quotes don't have to be only from Arashi (they can be your own favorite quotes~), I came up with this solution since I love when they speak (is it me, or do they have this strange way of making things sound unbelievably sweet and important?) and they're songs are really sweet and memorable. So if I can quote one of my favorite people or songs, then that would be better than having quotes that I remember only because they were witty ^^;


Thank you/sorry for your time!


P.S. If you can actually give me the original Japanese, then that would be super duper awesome! =D

One more thing~ Since I really want to try/see different types of quotes, I'm also asking a fan community of a different band^^;

Thank you in advance! =D

From Sho's Hip Hop Boogie:

"My life is my message"

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Lol, you know? I was actually listening to that song the other day and loving those lines, but it never hit me what they really were really saying XD;;

Thank you for the suggestion! =D

[j-4ever.livejournal.com]

hmm~ probably from 5x10

"We genuinely cried, we genuinely laughed, we genuinely worried, we genuinely lived and now, we can stand tall with pride."

<3

(it seems to fit with a yearbook, non?)

=o

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, it does, doesn't it?~ ♥

Thank you for the suggestion!! =D

[corlee1289.livejournal.com]

Personally I really like that line in Love So Sweet with the "shinjiru no koto ga subete" = Believing is everything! <3

[cherumiya.livejournal.com]

I think it's "shinjiru koto ga subete"...? Lols, whatever it is, I heart that line too. Because it's so true.

[corlee1289.livejournal.com]

Then there's the overall song of the Fight Song <3

2 for 1?

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

I'll reply to this comment since it's the later one~ ^^;

Haha, I never think about these things do I? *listening to those songs earlier today*

Thank you!~ =D

do you like bird?

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

*Loling everywhere*

That would be so cuticle to have, wouldn't it?~

Sankyuu! ♥

[pebblegosling.livejournal.com]

I've got a couple. I actually made it into a couple of pictures a way back (one with the quotes in English and the other in Japanese)

My personal favorite is "Step by step, if there's no path nearby that you can take, then your only choice is to walk the path you believe in" from 5x10

link to other quotes...
Japanese: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a258/One_duck/Arashianfavoritelyrics.jpg
English: http://i13.photobucket.com/albums/a258/One_duck/ArashianfavoritelyricsEnglish.jpg

Best place to get lyrics from is Aibakaland though. =]

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Yay! This is really helpful!~ =D

I was going to do that actually~ Go through all the lyrics, I mean. But, I only have a week to think about it and I have finals this same week, so I wouldn't really have time....

But I know that Arashi fans are awesome and would help~ =D

Thank you for the quotes! ♥

[monicaamamoo.livejournal.com]

My senior quote for my yearbook last year was

"There are many reasons to laugh in the middle of a strong wind even if it seems impossible"

「無理して笑うには理由がなさすぎて　強い風の中だ 」
Its from Kotoba Yori Taisetusnamono♥

I hope your having a great senior year ! （*＾▽＾）ノ

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Yay! I was hoping someone would have done the same thing =D

I love Kotoba Yori >w

[x-dollface77.livejournal.com]

Oh my God this was a really great idea! I have to decide on my senior quote for the yearbook too! Arashi lyrics would totally fit! :D

My personal favorites are Kotoba Yori Taisetsu na Mono - "Anata yori mo ookina ai wa doko ni mo nain da yo" (which is like, "There's no bigger love than you anywhere" or somethig?), Kaze no Mukou e's "Hikari to kage sono mukou e, yami wo terasu kimi no koe" (beyond the light and shadow, your voice that lights up the darkness? Sorry I don't remember the translation! XD) Boku wa Boku no Subete has always been really good too, for the whole setting-out-into-life stuff. =)

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

It is isn't it?~ Even if you feel a little dorky about it later on in your life, at least it would bring back nice memories~

I hope you also look at all the suggestions everyone is giving me too~ They're all really nice =D

But your suggestions are really helpful! Thank you~ ♥

[edogawaness.livejournal.com]

there are a whole ton, but if i was going to pick a few for graduation...

i always really liked the chorus of Boku ga Boku no Subete
particularly 「確かな事は僕が造った道, それだけは変らない 」
"The only thing that won't change is the path I've created."

Or from Sakura Sake,
「振り向くな 後ろには明日はないから, 前を向け」
"Don't look back because tomorrow isn't behind you, look forward"

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Someone had just said about Boku go Boku no Subete, so thank you for pointing out which line is a good one! =D

Ah~ Sakura Sake~ Girls did vote it the best spirit lifting song for a reason, didn't they?~ XD;;

Thank you for the suggestions!! ♥ =D

[scribblyness-x.livejournal.com]

Ack, I can't remember what the exact quote was but Ohno said something in an interview once in the gist of 'everything that I am doing now has meaning further on in life'. It irks me that I can't remember, reading it had profound impact on me.

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Aw, it would be awesome to have a quote from Riida, wouldn't it?~

Just the gist sounds really promising!~ ♥

If you remember, please swing by again and tell me?~ If not, then maybe someone else might know~

Thank you! =D

[katyami.livejournal.com]

Whoa, this is awesome!! Actually I've been thinking about what good thing to write for a long time as well (so scary that we have to sum up our thoughts/feelings in just a few sentences! and will forever be remembered with them too!)... and I'm also in my last year of high school. Great ideas! I'm not sure when the due date is for quotes at my school, but I'll bookmark this. Yay for such a wonderful Arashi community :D :D

[katyami.livejournal.com]

Oh and..sorry that I don't have any thoughts right now! I actually never thought of using Arashi lyrics...so I guess now I'll listen to the songs more carefully. Hehehe. :)

[cynicalsnark.livejournal.com]

I've always liked this quote from Kansha Kangeki Ame:

"Maybe the trials in life will make us stronger
Smile again, because you're here"

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Ooh~ That sounds a like a good one~

Plus I'd be finding myself singing the "Smile Again" part XD;

Thank you! =D

[j-halo7.livejournal.com]

o____o I was just thinking of quoting some lyrics from Arashi's songs too but for a message to a friend whom I'll not be seeing much anymore as I'm finishing uni. I can use these for references though friendship related ones seems more appropriate.

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Aw~ Well I hope these do help!~

Good luck! =D

[love-kat-tun.livejournal.com]

How about this one ?
it's one of my favourites

もう一度　あの日に戻るとしても　おなじ路　選ぶだろう
(If i were to return to that day again , I would choose the same path)
-Oh Yeah !

i'm just roughly typing and translating here...

I love that song XD;

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

That actually fits really well!~ (since you kind of have to choose and want to go to my school ^^; )

Thank you! =D

[boohaysaging.livejournal.com]

I'm not entirely sure if this came from sho, but I read in someone's banner (feat Sho)

Write them as dreams, read them as goals.

[boohaysaging.livejournal.com]

thanks for your comment above ^__^

and I LOVE that part of Pikanchi double~ the one with ABCs :D

[eyeslikefirefly.livejournal.com]

Man, I wish I had thought of a better senior quote. Mine wasn't completely terrible, but I kinda wish I had used something funny/crazier because it would have defined me better.

I'd suggest trying to use something you really like and that sort of defines you so you don't regret it later. If you're silly person, I'd suggest Aiba's Engrish, but if you're more serious I'd use one of the many good song quotes suggested here. :D

Do you have a limit on how many letters it can be?

Wh...what?

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Lol, I know~ I'm really considering if I want a thoughtful, memorable quote or an Aiba Engrish one (which you just can't go wrong with XD; )

And you know? I'm in the yearbook committee, and I actually have no idea how long the quotes can be....

So I guess I better stick to a short one (to put both the original and a translation) or a long one (and just have the English...)

But thank you for reminding me about such an important detail XD;;!

[sky7horizon.livejournal.com]

A good lyrics brings awareness, a good music heals emotions, neither can stop the storm from coming nor tears from falling but enough to give strength to march forward...

since i love all arashi songs, i just conclude it this way...i think maybe this is what they think everytime they create their piece..maybe..

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

That's so pretty~

That would make all of Arashi's songs so much nicer to hear if that's what they did keep in mind~ ^^;

Thank you!~ ♥

[never-ender.livejournal.com]

This is a great resource post for me as well, since I plan to get some Arashi lyrics worked into a tattoo someday. I had always thought I would just get "mae e" (in characters) because "go forward" speaks a lot to what Arashi has meant to me, but this post is reminding me just how many great lyrics there are. I might have to go have another look.

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Hehe, go for it~ But getting lyrics on a tattoo sounds.....painful? =D;;

I like the idea of "mae e" as a tattoo though~ Or maybe even just "嵐" or the little character they had for 5x10~

Or or or!~ The "嵐" kanji that Ohno drew *excited*

Well, either way~ Good luck with that! =D ♥

[matrixsakini.livejournal.com]

I think Tabidachi No Asa has some great lines.

Just two of them,

そろそろ行くねえ　大きなバックに みんなの思いつめて　最後に振り向いた
I'll be going, carrying a big bag full of everyone's emotions as I turn around for the last time.

ちからいっぱい　夢を見るよ　輝けるように
I will dream with all my might, so I will shine.

I love this song

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

They're both really nice! I really like that second one~ =D

Thank you for the suggestion! =D ♥

[woesho.livejournal.com]

Woah o.0 Haha I need a good quote for my yearbook too.
I was thinking of something from Love so sweet ("Shinjiru koto ga subete" maybe).

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Yay more seniors!

Love So Sweet is a pretty song isn't it~

Thank you, and good luck with your quote search (maybe you can find one from all the awesome ones people have posted here =D )

[slowcharlotte.livejournal.com]

► 人は人自分は自分, 比べた時点で負けてる
► Hito wa hito jibun wa jibun, kurabeta jiten de maketeru
► People are people and you are you, the moment you compare the two, you've lost
-Fight song ^^

[rininjapan.livejournal.com]

100% <3

[svetochkarae.livejournal.com]

people are people
you are you
if you start comparing then you will lose

I like this from Arashi - fight song
everytime I'm feeling ridiculously jealous of someone, I'll remember this song ^_^

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

You know, it kind of rhymes when you say it that way! (or maybe it's just me XD; )

Thank you! ♥

[dawnite.livejournal.com]

fight song always encourages me when im feeling down.
i think believe have great quotes too.

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Yeah, me too! Plus it helps when you're lazy and don't want to want to do homework (it makes me want to jump up and down...which results in homework not being done anyway XD; )

Thank you for the suggestion! =D

[eririna.livejournal.com]

(: One quote I've always loved is

「道がないなら創ればいい　その先例え果てていたとしても」
"If there's no road, make one yourself, even if the future is uncertain/even if you can't see ahead."

:) xD From Hip Pop Boogie, Sho's solo

[k-is-for-taty.livejournal.com]

Uwa~ It really fits, doesn't it?~

Thank you!! =D
