My Jam: Rev. from DVL/RiZ - LOVE-arigatou-

So, Rev.from DVL.  For a good introduction to the group, I recommend Serenyty's write-up on Happy Disco. Even if you aren't familiar with the group, you've probably heard of the 'one-in-a-thousand-year prospect' Hashimoto Kanna, who's a member of the group.

Below will be my translation of their major début single, LOVE-arigatou-.
Rough song breakdown:
A (Love arigatou~) - B (Sekaijuu~) - C (Game na~) - C' (Soredemo gutto~ - characterised by the rising brassy instruments) - Chorus (Bibibi! only you!) - B - C - C' - D (Aishitai~) -  A - instrumental - C' - Chorus x2 - B

Also, here's the original by RiZ, who are a Fukuoka pop unit, according to the description in their video. Given the credits - lyrics by RiZ☆Rie, and composer is RiZ☆Zun - it's likely they made the song, so props to those guys for this nice, breezy tune.



Lyrics： RiZ☆Rie
Composition： RiZ☆Zun

Love!　Thank you, yeah yeah yeah!
The moment our hands joined together, that was when the premonition began
Clap!　Congratulations, yeah yeah yeah!
Don't you feel like what you've been waiting for has finally arrived!?
Today we'll be commemorating the day we met

Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!　Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!
Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!　Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!

Forget the game-like romance of yesterday
Fighting drowsiness every moment until the very end
Looks like you're cherishing it!?
You aren't wasting words, using just two at a time

And yet you firmly got the message across, somehow
Is this what they call 'your person of destiny'!?

Bi ・bibi！　Only you!　My darling！
Love me do!  Everyone's jealous,　Lucky Lucky girl!
Bi・bibi！　Only you!　My honey！
Love me do!　Everyone's whispering,　Lucky Lucky boy!

Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!　Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!
Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!　Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!

Before the alarm rings on this cheerful morning
And the weekend holiday gets packed with people
Shall we trying going out, not tiring out？
The 2 of us have no sense of direction, so where shall we go？ We both leave it to the other

Wherever we go, we're taken aback by the feeling of deja-vu
Is this what they call 'your person of destiny'!?

You want to love？ You want to be loved？
Either might be impossible
Little better than nothing　A natural story
Playing cat-and-mouse, we don't calm down
But we're somehow feeling tired
It's kind of a nice feeling

Not feeling sleepy？ Not wanting to fall asleep！
The feeling of my thoughts for you sweep over my chest
I want to skip work
I want to be next to your precious presence
Even 10 minutes would be plenty!?
It's unthinkable, impossible

Love!　Thank you, yeah yeah yeah!
The moment our hands joined together, that was when the premonition began
Clap!　Congratulations, yeah yeah yeah!
Don't you feel like what you've been waiting for has finally arrived!?
Today we'll be commemorating the day we met

And yet you firmly got the message across, somehow
Is this what they call 'your person of destiny'!?

Bi ・bibi！　Only you!　My darling！
Love me do!  Everyone's jealous,　Lucky Lucky girl!
Bi・bibi！　Only you!　My honey！
Love me do!　Everyone's whispering,　Lucky Lucky boy!

Bi ・bibi！　Only you!　My darling！
Love me do!  Everyone's jealous,　Lucky Lucky girl!
Bi・bibi！　Only you!　My honey！
Love me do!　Everyone's whispering,　Lucky Lucky boy!

Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!　Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!
Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!　Throughout the world there's Love & Peace!
