A few days ago I started playing video games again. It’s been nearly 10 months and I had been missing them. I picked up my PSP, popped in a few different games and settled on Star Ocean Second Evolution. Now, this isn’t the first time I played it. In fact it was the game I stopped playing back in March.
This isn’t a review of the game but an admission that I am closer to deciding whether or not I’ll be going back to school… back to take Japanese classes again. Just one more thing I need to add to my plate of things to do… but I really miss it and what happened Sunday morning brought me one step closer.
Star Ocean Second Evolution has two opening videos. I’m personally a fan of the second one. I like the flow of it better. After scouring Google for a good two hours I found the lyrics to the whole song and not just what is in the full motion video. After piecing together the parts of the lyrics I realized that the last two lines of the song were incorrect. I replayed the song over and over while reading the lyrics in hopes to find the two lines but sadly they weren’t in the lyrics… the only lyrics… I had come across.
I spent the next hour figuring them out. The song is in Japanese. The lyrics in Romaji. And I’ve been out of a Japanese class for nearly 5 years… and I’m happy to say that I think I figured them out :)

Fui ni koboreta namida anata dake ga shitte ita
Yasashisa ga afureteru ano sora no you ni
Haruka na sekai mezashi koko kara tobidasou
Bouken no tabi e to ikou
Tsuyoku nareru wa kitto anata wa
Ikutsumo no hoshi wo koe tadoritsukeru yo
Kagayakidashita yuuki to tomo ni
Tobitateru name hiroge giga hibi jiiru
Hoshi no umi wo wataru
