some notes for my "walking on my sunny road" TL that were too big to post with the lyrics themselves, but that might be fun for some fellow makotoPs out there :9
 * the kanji used for “sun” in “sunlit road” is also the kanji for positivity, meaning that the sunlit road can also mean. “a road that’s showered in positivity”! i thought that was cute
 * the result being an “alright plus” is probably supposed to be taken as like… getting a c+, or maybe a b. its more or less fine on paper, but feels like it’s not enough compared to everyone else
 * it was kind of hard to not make it clunky, but “living as myself” would more accurately be translated as. “living in a me-like way”, basically living while true to yourself
 * “the strength of my friends (helps me grow stronger)” was originally. “the backs of my friends”, but it felt really weird in english no matter what i did, so that’s why i changed it.


 * i was tempted to make it some kind of “they’ve got my back” sentence, but that just wasn’t happening. so i scrapped it
 * there wasn’t originally a “you” mentioned in the “i’ll catch up to and overtake [you]” sentence, but it feels kind of aimed at his unitmates in a friendly rivalry way? so i figured that’d be the best way to translate it
 * every time growing is mentioned in this song, he’s. talking about maturity moreso than physical growth. maybe that’s obvious?? but i feel like i had a hard time expressing it in the lyrics sndsjdjkdsjsd
