Y'all seen AKB's new single title?

鈴懸の木の道で­「君の微笑みを夢に見る」と言ってしまったら僕たちの関係はどう変わってしまうのか、­僕なりに何日か考えた上でのやや気恥ずかしい結論のようなもの

Someone should be generous and try to translate it. What a nightmare.

[BerryzCelebration]

I watch your smile in a dream.

I watch your smile in a dream.

Nah, I don't believe it. Too short.

[BerryzCelebration]

Only the stuff in quotations is the title. I think.

[Moh]

It's not.

[DSQueenie]

What is the relationship of us is what would change, like the conclusion embarrassing somewhat on that thought some days Nari I What if I say, "dream of a smile for you" in the way of the tree of suspended tin.

[BerryzCelebration]

The hell kind of title is that.

[Zunu]

The translation on Tokyohive seems about as good as any of the others I've seen:

Little embarrassing conclusion kind of thing I came up with after several days of consideration how our relationship would change if I tell you 'I see your smile in my dream' on the road of Platanus.

But even so, Christine Lavin has Aki-P beat by a country mile:



Takes her over 20 seconds JUST TO READ THE TITLE OF THE SONG.

I can appreciate the syntactic structure of that.

[Pavlova]

I love the AKB title.
