[Flame of Recca] Nanka Shiawase (Something Like Happiness) by the OYSTARS

I looooooved Flame of Recca when I was a kid and this song was such a great opening theme! Whenever we'd get black outs at home during a storm and we had to light a candle, I always air-wrote fake Kanji on it and pretended flame dragons would come it. Lmao. I don't even know. Anyway, enjoy!

Kanji Romaji English

目覚ましに起こされ　スケジュールをこなし
時に笑顔作り　残るわだかまり

恋も夢も哲学で　いつも答えはないけど
コインはじくように　歩きだそう

なんか幸せ　ちょっと幸せ
感じる瞬間（とき）こそ　幸せの始まり
なんか行けそう　うまく行けそう
踏み出す一歩で　全て変えて行けるね

世界が危ないと　ニュースがわめきたて
時に涙流し　出来ることもなく

思いがけず通り雨　やけに心が騒いだ
君の嘘が　僕にひとつばれた

なんかため息　深くため息
わずかな落ち込み　人生を転がす
なんかダメかも　全部ダメかも
見えないハードル　うまくは進めないね

きっと自分しだいだね　そうさ簡単なことさ
風にあした　聞いてみればいいさ

なんか幸せ　ちょっと幸せ
感じる瞬間（とき）こそ　一番の幸せ
なんか行けそう　うまく行けそう
そういうもんだね　あしたも幸せだね

Mezamashi ni okosare　Sukeju-ru wo konashi
Toki ni egao tsukiri　Nokoru wadakamari

Koi mo yume mo testugaku de　Itsumo kotae wa nai kedo
Koin hajiku you ni　Arukidasou

Nanka shiawase　Chotto shiawase
Kanjiru toki koso　Shiawase no hajimari
Nanka yukesou　Umaku yukesou
Fumidasu ippo de　Subete kaete yukeru ne

Sekai ga abunai to　Nyu-su ga wamekitate
Toki ni namida nagashi　Dekiru koto mo naku

Omoigakezu toori ame　Yake ni kokoro ga sawaida
Kimi no uso ga　Boku ni hitotsu bareta

Nanka tameiki　Fukaku tameiki
Wazukana ochikomi　Jinsei wo korogasu
Nanka dame ka mo　Zenbu damae ka mo
Mienai ha-doru　Umaku wa susumenai ne

Kitto jibun shidai da ne　Sou sa kantan na koto sa
Kaze ni ashita　Kiite mireba ii sa

Nanka shiawase　Chotto shiawase
Kanjiru toki koso　Shiawase no hajimari
Nanka yukesou　Umaku yukesou
Sou iu mon da ne　Ashita mo shiawase da ne

Opening my eyes to wake up　Managing my schedule as I go along
Summoning up a smile from time to time　Leaving my cares behind

There's not always an answer to the philosophies of love and dreams, but
Let's walk forward like we're flipping a coin

Something like happiness　A bit of happiness
When I feel it, that's when happiness begins
Somehow, it feels like we can get there　We can do it well
Going one step at a time　I can change it all

The news seems to shout out　That the world is a dangerous place
Tears fall from time to time　It feels like there's nothing I can do

Caught in an unexpected storm　My heart clamors desperately
At once, it becomes clear you've lied to me

Sighing a bit　Sighing deeply
Tiny setbacks sprinkle throughout my life
If something goes wrong　If everything goes wrong
Facing invisible hurdles　I can't continue skillfully

Surely, I can rely on myself, right?　Right, it's simple enough
It might be good to try asking the wind about the future

Something like happiness　A brief happiness
When you feel it, that's when happiness begins
Somehow, it feels like we can get there　We can do it well
I guess that's how it is　Tomorrow will be full of happiness too

Notes:
1. I'm not super sold on how I translated the title itself. Not sure if it's meant to be comparative, ironic, or whatever else, but that's how I understand it anyway.
2. "Let's walk forward as if flipping a coin" is meant to mean that since there are not always answers to love or dreams, let's go ahead and live life by taking chances. I didn't know how else to convey that without losing the original lyrics.
3. As of June 22, 2019: I edited the chorus part from "Somehow, it feels like we can get there..." from "Let's go somewhere," because I can understand the subtleties of potential forms now! Hahaha. Also made small changes here and there, but nothing major!
