剣の舞

Hey ためいきドンキホーテ
Hey 夢見る人がヒーロー
愛が眠る場所 オーロラの城
君と探そうビクトリー
 
胸に秘めた切なさ 切れるほどだよ
ハートの剣を磨いて 戦うつもり
男だったら 剣の舞 金と銀の火花
愛を守って 戦うものさ
危ないけどついておいで
きっとひとりぼっちだね
君をなくしたら
 
Hey ためいきドンキホーテ
Hey 夢見る人がヒーロー
愛が眠る場所 オーロラの城
君と探そうビクトリー
 
弱い心さよなら 襲ってきたら
僕は剣をかざして 追いかえすだろう
夢の途中 剣の舞 傷付くたびごとに
強くなるなんて 神秘的だね
さあ涙を振り切れ
さあ迷いを断ち切れ
誓い乗せたキスは電光石火
 
Hey あこがれドンキホーテ
Hey 輝く人がヒーロー
情熱の炎 オーロラの城
君をつかもう ビクトリー
 
空の彼方 たったひとつ
光る星がそこにあるね
君は僕の 愛の天使
世界中に 叫びたいのさ 好きだよ
 
Translation

Sword Dance

Don Quixote (*Spanish novel character, 1605) is sighing
Dreamers are heroes of the story
Aurora castle, a place where love lies dormant
Let's find it together and achieve our victory
 
The sadness hidden deep in my heart pierces me
I will sharpen my heart's sword and fight...
...because I'm a man. Swords dancing, gold & silver sparks flying
I'll fight to protect my love
It's dangerous but come with me
I'll be all alone...
...if I lose you
 
Don Quixote is sighing
Dreamers are heroes of the story
Aurora castle, a place where love lies dormant
Let's find it together and achieve our victory
 
Goodbye to my weak heart. If the enemies attack,
...I'll hold my sword firm and drive them back
In the midst of my dream, my sword dances.Every time I get hurt
...I'll only astonishingly getting stronger
Shake off your tears
Slash off your fear
And the kiss carrying our vows happens lightning fast
 
Don Quixote has been longing for it
Bright people are the heroes of the story
With burning passion, let's go to the Aurora castle
I'll keep hold on to you and we'll reach our victory
 
Beyond the sky, there's only one...
...shinning star, and now it's here
You're my angel of love
I want to shout it loud to the whole world that I love you

Released in October 10, 1988, this song reached #1 in Oricon chart with 608,000 sales. At the end of the year, this song reached #7 in Oricon yearly chart of 1988 and became one of four Hikaru Genji songs that occupied four out of top ten spots in Oricon yearly chart of 1988. Singing on roller skates was already difficult, but they made it even harder by singing on roller skates while sword fighting.

The two ex-members who still remains in "Johny" singing this song + the sword dance in 2023

^ Those four guys in ninja costumes performing with them are probably also former male idols from the past.

For the next translation.... that's it for male idols, let's go back to female idols.

Let's move from elite idols / Kohaku performers with very high sales to B-list / mid-level idols with humble sales. Coming up next...
