“I’m swept away
I can’t convey a word of all I feel
And what’s in my heart my lips can find no way to say…”
- No Way to Say by Ayumi Hamasaki
Our project is dedicated to giving Japanese artists such as Ayumi Hamasaki a way to transmit their message to the rest of the world. For all the fans who cannot understand Japanese, we want to make sure that you can still appreciate the lyrics.
“The Way to Say” translate and adapt J-Pop songs into singable English, and also perform them in English ourselves. Unlike many accomplished songwriters who make English cover versions using their own lyrics, our lyrics are all true to the original Japanese. With the exception of “Tasking”, which was originally an instrumental, we do not put our own lyrics to J-Pop songs. This project is intended to bring the artists’ lyrics to English-speaking people.
You can use our lyrics for karaoke, or as enhanced translations of your favourite songs. Feel free to make cover versions, but please credit us if you use our work.
NOTE: Currently the TWTS official website is down for maintenance. But you can find lyrics, MP3s, info and news here on our official blog. Thank you for visiting!
