[Mojacko] Koibito ga Uchuujin nara (If My Lover Was an Alien) by Iwao Junko

 So I was listening to 90s anime compilations on YouTube the other day (as one does) and I came across this song from Mojacko. Like any child of my generation of my nationality, I know Mojacko but I don't really remember the songs and damn this was a BANGER. I wish we had more barbershop quartet-type songs these days! I had to translate it when I listened to it because it was so cute. Hahaha. Enjoy!

もしも恋人が宇宙人なら
どんなデートにね、なるのかな
水星でちょっと水遊びして
土星の輪っかでひと滑り

言葉なんていらないね
きっと楽しくって
時を忘れるでしょう

金星で会えるきれいなヴィーナス
素敵なところへつれてって

もしも恋人が宇宙人なら
パパもママもねぇ、驚くわ
木星でボイジャー 待ち伏せしたら
火星で友だち見つけるの

夢はいつかかなうもの
心あわせて
きっとワープできるね

地球は青くてきれいだったと
みんなに話してあげたいな

もしも恋人が宇宙人なら
広い宇宙は遊園地
水金地火木 天海冥王
さあ宇宙船で飛び立とう
素敵な星へとつれてって

If my lover was an alien
I wonder what kind of dates we'd have
Maybe we'd take a dip in the water on Mercury
Or go skating on the rings of saturn

We wouldn't need any words
I just know we'd have so much fun
That we would lose track of itme

We could meet the god Venus on Venus
Take me to a wonderful place

If my lover was an alien
Dad and mom would be so surprised
We'd lurk in the Voyager in Jupiter
And make new friends on Mars

I hope my dreams will come true someday
If we sync up our hearts
I know we can warp there for sure

I want to tell everyone all about how
Earth is so blue and beautiful

If my lover was an alien
The whole wide universe would be our theme park
Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter　Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, Pluto
Now then, let's fly on our spaceship
And take me to a wonderful star
