FLOW - COLORS PV (Code Geass OP Theme)

FLOW - COLORS (27MB, for PSP/Quicktime) | YouTube version

Yeah, I realise it's kind of late but with everything that happened during the weekend I could not find the time to insert an extra entry for this. In addition to this, I wasn't sure if I had enough bandwidth to spare for the month. Anyway, this is basically a PV for Code Geass OP theme. Unfortunately as far as PV goes, this is one of the least interesting ones I've seen lately. The only thing that entertains me is the antics of its two lead singers, Kohshi and Keigo, as they jump around from one area to another. I realise that this song has been criticised for its similarity to Days, but I think the two lead singers have really powerful vocals that make this song worth listening on its own. Between the two, I actually prefer Keigo's singing voice since I think it is far more refined and easier to listen to than Kohshi's voice. Having said that, the combination of their voice is the reason why their group stands out from other similar J-pop groups.

Kanji/Kana version

自分を世界さえも変えてしまえそうな
瞬間はいつもすぐ側に

隠せぬ苛立ちと立ちつくす自分を見つめ

迷いながら悩みながら悔やみながら決めれば良いさ
君がくれた言葉一つ戸惑いは消え去り

空っぽだった僕の部屋に光が差した

見上げた大空が青く澄み切って行く
閉ざした窓を開くことを決めた
自分を世界さえも変えてしまえそうな
瞬間はいつもすぐ側に

満たせぬ日常にあるはずの答えを探して

朝日に1人柔らかな声に振り向けば
眩い日射しの中ふと君が微笑む
閉ざした窓が開きそうになる

自分を世界さえも変えてしまえそうな
存在は僕の目の前に

見上げた大空が青く澄み切って行く
閉ざした窓を開くことを決めた

自分を世界さえも変えてしまえそうな
瞬間を感じる今ここに
光へと両手を伸ばして

心を吹き抜ける空の色香る風

Romaji version

Jibun wo sekai sae mo kaete shimaesou na
Shunkan wa itsumo sugu soba ni

Kakusenu iradachi to tachitsukusu jibun wo mitsume

Mayoinagara, nayaminagara, kuyaminagara kimeraba ii sa
Kimi ga kureta kotoba hitotsu tomadoi wa kiesari

Karappo datta boku no heya ni hikari ga sashita

Miageta oozora ga aoku sumikitte yuku
Tozashita mado wo hiraku koto wo kimeta
Jibun wo sekai sae mo kaete shimaesou na
Shunkan wa itsumo sugu soba ni

Mitasenu nichijou ni aru hazu no kotae wo sagashite

Asahi ni hitori yawarakana koe ni furimukeba
Mabayui hizashi no naka futo kimi ga hohoemu
Tozashita mado ga hirakisou ni naru

Jibun wo sekai sae mo kaete shiemasou na
Sonzai wa boku no me no mae ni

Miageta oozora ga aoku sumikitte yuku
Tozashita mado wo hiraku koto wo kimeta

Jibun wo sekai sae mo kaete shimaesou na
Shunkan wa kanjiru ima koko ni
Hikari e to ryoute wo nobashite

Kokoro wo fukinukeru sora no iro kaoru kaze

Hmm, you mistyped 閉ざした as 飛ばした.
I think the ふとっ part in the line 眩い日差しの中ふとっ君が微笑む is actually 'kitto', or at least that's what I hear. ^^;;

As for the PV, I really liked the completely random moment when the group members started fighting. XD

Yeah, that's supposed to be Tozashita but I often misheard it as 'Tobashita' . I thought I've already changed everything to 'Tozashita' but I guess I was wrong. And I'm not sure if that was supposed to be 'futo' or 'kitto'. 'Kitto' makes more sense but Kohshi makes it sounds like 'futo' -_-;; Like I said, I like Keigo's voice better.

Speaking of the fight scene, those are brothers right? The ones who got into fight?

I agree with pretty much everything. I prefer Keigo's voice, but the two vocalists sing good together. And as you said, though the video was boring & song is a bit similar to Days -- it's still a great track to listen to. :)

thanks for the download!

I've read of the comments regarding the similarity to Days. But tbh aside from the voices I just don't hear it. It seems quite different to Days IMO. Instruments used, the general beat/rhythm/whatever you want to call it etc... Maybe someone can explain it to me, because like I said I just don't seem to be hearing it. Regardless they're both good songs IMO.
