松本クンの唄

[karened]

I'm on time! You don't suppose I'd forget his special day, do you?!

Thanks to the very generous N-san here, I've finally managed to watch the legendary Matsumoto-kun no Uta in full! So, here you go, the full lyrics!

I remember reading somewhere that...perhaps in 2003/a little earlier, Arashi wasn't quite sure of where they were heading for. I'm sure we all recall that various members from the group even had intentions to quit and drop out of the spotlight. I remember reading that Arashi had a good heart-to-heart talk to better understand each other's hope for the group. And from there, they gradually worked towards that hope. 

In that case, wouldn't A-friends be a very good proof of their hard work to accept each other's strength and flaws, and to move forward together? They started the group without knowing each other much, except for perhaps Aiba and Nino, who were closer. I would think that A-friends wasn't spontaneously started. It was perhaps an intentional effort by them to mix more outside of work, and to show appreciation for each other, no?

Ah, I just love them.

松本クンの唄
Matsumoto-kun's song
By A-friends¹

カンペキ主義者な貴方が
最後の２０才
アイドルパンチって言われる
時代もあったよね
Kanpeki shugisha na anata ga
Saigo no hatachi
Aidoru Panchi tte iwareru
Jidai mo atta yo ne
The perfectionist you
Is the last to turn 20 years old
Being called the Idol Punch²
You even managed to experience such a period

嵐で初の主演
何かとキッカケになる男だ
努力をおしまぬ貴方の結果ですね
好きです。大好きです。
Arashi de hatsu no shuen
Nani ka to kikkake ni naru otoko da
Doryoku wo oshimanu anata no kekka desu ne
Suki desu. dai suki desu.
Starring in our first movie as Arashi
You were the guy who became our driving force in some way or another
It was the effect of you and your persistent hard work
We love you. We love you very much.

まゆ毛が太いって言われて
でもすねげも濃くて
ネタにするとすぐ怒るのが
貴方らしいね
Mayuge ga futoi tte iwarete
Demo sunege mo kokute
Neta ni suru to sugu okoru no ga
Anatarashii ne
They say your eyebrows are thick
But your leg hair is dense too
Getting angry right away when people use that as joke material
Is just like you

だけど
もう２０才！もう大人！
最後の成人者
大人な松潤に期待度バツグン！！
Dakedo
Mou hatachi! Mou otona!
Saigo no seijinmono
Otona na Matsujun ni kitaidou batsugun!!
But
You're already 20! Already an adult!
The last one to turn adult
We have high expectations of the adult Matsujun!!

たんじょうびおめでとう。
心から祝う。熱い男の唄
本当におめでとう
これからもガンバ！！
Tanjoubi omedetou.
Kokoro kara iwau. Atsui otoko no uta
Hontou ni omedetou
Kore kara mo ganba!!
Happy birthday.
We're congratulating you from the bottom of our hearts. A song for a passionate man
We truly congratulate you

今更キャラ変えってそれあなたねぇ
遅すぎだけど出来たあなたへ
送りますこのバースデイソング
カズメイクソング
Ima sara kyara kaette sore anata nee
Ososugi dakedo dekita anata he
Okurimasu kono birthday song
Kazu-make song
You are still changing your character at this moment
Although it's too late, you managed to do it
We're sending you this birthday song
Kazu makes song

おっと先を急ぐ
いつも遅くまでご苦労さん
ご苦労さんたらご苦労さん
宮島　トオル　とキリ　ユタカ
Otto saki wo isogu
Itsumo osoku made gokurousan
Gokurousan tara gokurousan
Miyajima Tooru to Kiri Yutaka
Run into the future
Thank you for always working hard into the night
Thank you for the hard work, thank you for the hard work
Miyajima Tooru and Kiri Yutaka³

Translator's notes
¹ A-friends is a 'sub-unit' of Arashi which serves to celebrate members' 20th birthday (the 20th birthday in Japan equivalent to the Western 21st birthday, as it is the coming-of-age stage where a person become legally adult).
² No one seems to understand Nino's exact meaning, but the best guess is that Jun's being quite popular at that 2003 period (Gokusen, Kimi wa Petto), was labelled by the press for being the up-and-coming idol who can pack a punch.
³ Staff members involved in A-friends.
