The Hamu is alive!! thanks for the wonderful translation!! beautiful new song and words. the song reminds me of those from "I Hope So", and sounds much like an Ayumi ballad. her weather-beatened vocals suit songs like these to a T. i think she should just focus on new releases and not resing old songs. having said that, i haven’t heard the full remade songs and will reserve commentaries till i do so!

| 色あせるモノクローム | The mid summer night confined in |
| 閉じ込めた真夏の空 | faded monochrome |

Thanks for such a fast translation.
Let’s wake Hamu more…
It’s funny that you said. I had similar feeling that it sounds similar to Ayumi’s song in Kouhaku. I don’t really know Ayumi’s song.
I do like this song more and more. It’s not flashy but very nice and sweet.
I’m a bit disappointed with this ballad. It’s kind of like Days meaning it isn’t exactly bad nor exceptionally good. It just is. Well hopefully it’ll grow on me more. And I’m also reminded of Ayumi by this song (probably her latest song "part of Me" or "JEWEL" that makes me think like this). The "ずっと ずっと" also made me think of Angela Aki’s new single "Sakurairo" lol.
i love Angela Aki. so into her now. i understand totally what you said about Days – i loathe that song! this is different, it’s a grower!
I did not like ‘Days’but I do like this new song.
Again, it’s not flashy but it’s very nice.
If romanized is it "Ano natsuno hi" or "Ano natsu no hi"?
Oh yeah and thank you for the translated lyrics!
I love Angela Aki too. After watching her at Kohaku and not even bothering to change her jersey when it was her turn to sing, I thought it was more refreshing than seeing Ayu rehash that same old stupid "boat" and horrible hair over and over again.
Thanks to our Japanese 先輩, Hamu san, who I learnt passed the JLPT 1 test not too long ago, which is native level Japanese. お目でとうございます！
This is a "petition" to revive Happy Hamu!
I LOVE THE SONG! The first thing that hit me was the music arrangement which sound a tad like those which AYU will sing.. BUT no way AYU can sing with such feelings- filled voice. STILL, AYU is LESS IRRITATING than KODA. LOL
Angela Aki is cool! I likey her too!!! But her voice seems better live than her recording voice.. and Sakurairo sounds like a song from what Kiroro will sing too.. hahaha.. AA sounds like a tad like them too at th e beginning… Nevertheless, the song is good. HOME is nice too! =D
