SKY CHORD

...At long last the fight between Kenpachi and Nnoitra was finished...It was like going on forever..I don't know what's worst, Naruto with its repeated flashback or Bleach with its draggy fight scenes...I've not been enthusiastic in watching Bleach lately that's why it took me so long to get to the latest episode..I dig the new ending theme(I don't know why I always like the ending theme of Bleach) ..It's Sky Chord-Otona ni Naru Kimi he by Tsuji Shion ...I'm going to play the tv version on my radio right now...I couldn't get hold of the full version since the song will be released on February 25...I really like the meaning of the song..Here's the english translation, courtesy of DB...


Sunao na uta ga utaenai,
kazari tsukete shimau kara.
Itsu kara konna ni raku ni,
jibun mamoru koto　wo oboeta no.

Kotei kara mieru sora,
kimi ni wa nani iro ni utsu.
Tada maashiro na kumo demo toki ni,
maakuro ni kaetaku naru.
Ikanai SKY CHORD mukashii nara atta noni.
Kakushita SKY CHORD dare no sei demo naku jibun.

Kitto, otona ni naru koto nanka yori.
Taisetsu na mono ga aru no.
Kitto, sore wa mitsukeranai mama,
otona ni natte yukun da.

Asa made okite itakatta,
Modokashii kodomo no koro.
Ima wa jikan ni owarete,
nemuru koto sura dekinai de iru.
ikanai SKY CHORD, mukashii nara atta noni.
Nakushite SKY CHORD kimi ni oshiete hoshii yo.

Kitto, otona ni naru koto nanka yori.
Taisetsu na mono ga aru no.
Kitto, sore wa mitsukeranai mama,
otona ni natte yukun da.

Zutto, kono mama ja irenai tte.
Wakatteru yo arukidase.
Zutto, no oto ni ga iteta moji wa.
Kawatte nanka inai no.

Kitto, otona ni naru koto nanka yori.
Taisetsu na mono ga aru no.
Kitto, sore wo mitsukeranai mama,
otona ni natte yukun da.

Kodomo no mama ja irenai.

I can't sing a song with straightforward lyrics
Because It always ends with sugar coated words

Since when did someone as lazy as I am learn to protect anything?
What color catches you from the sky visible in the school yard
At times I want the white clouds to turn black too

Dont leave me *sky chord*, you would've stayed here back then
I've already lost you *sky chord*, this isn't anyones fault, however

I know there are many more important things than becoming an adult
But I'll be growing up the whole time figuring out what they are

I wanted to stay up till daybreak when I was a kid
Now being chased with time I don't even have enough sleep

Dont leave me *sky chord*, you would've stayed here back then
I've already lost you *sky chord*, I want to teach you

I know there are many more important things than becoming an adult
But I'll be growing up the whole time figuring out what they are

I know we can't stay like this forever, so let't take that first step
Those words I've written in the notebook will never be changed

I know there are many more important things than becoming an adult
But I'll be growing up the whole time figuring out what they are

For I can no longer be like a child







...The story might start to pick up though..I'm already anticipating the fight between Aizen's roster of Espada vs Soul Society's best...It'd would be a hell of a fight if the Vizard would appear...I was expecting them to join Ichigo in Hueco Mundo...but sadly didn't happen...
