A/N: Oh, goodness me, I'm so proud of myself, guys! :D This is the first ever band-fic I've done, and I made up my own lyrics for it! So no wonder it took so long! X3 I had the best birthday ever, (I'm eighteen now, whoo! XD) and I seriously couldn't do this without all of you guys... ;n; You inspire me with your beautiful reviews, and keep my motivation going! Thank you so much...! 3 w Enjoy! I had so much fun writing the lyrics for this! And sorry for any mistakes – I was using Google Translate to make the story, since I don't speak Japanese, only Spanish...~ :3)
Tachiagaru
Stand Up
"Kanojo wa, kanojo no kubi ni kanojo no te de sakuranokinoshita ni tatte iru
Soshite hana wa shigamitsuku
Sora wa utsukushī sanbika no yō ni, kanojo no kokoro ni, kanojo no kako kare no koe o korogasu
Kanojo wa kare ga sorera no utsukushī chairo no me de, soko ni tatte mite iru
Ichido o tōshite mite iru mono wa, uso (uso o tōshite mita)
Kanojo wa nanika o tassuru to, kanojo wa kanojo no koe o mitsukeyou to shi
Kanojo no shikō o koeta koto ga nai nanika, chūmoku subeki koto
Okikaeru koto ga dekinai kankei no tame ni..."
She stands under the sakura tree with her hand to her neck,
and the blossoms cling
The skies roll past her, his voice in her mind, like a beautiful hymn
She sees him standing there, with those beautiful brown eyes
Those that once saw through lies (saw through lies)
She tries to find her voice as she reaches for something
Something which has never crossed her thoughts, a remarkable thing
For a relationship that cannot be replaced
Hinata tapped on the microphone to make sure it was working, clearing her throat, and the song started. Sasuke's fingers expertly fingered the keys on the guitar at a moderate pace as the introduction continued, while Itachi sang along in the background to Hinata's soft voice, and Kiba matched the beat with his drums, bobbing his head to the rhythm, grinning. This was their second song which they were recording, and their band, Violet Eyes were a band which had signed onto Konoha Records, a recording company who had found one of the best bands of Japan so far, The Pink Misfits, consisting of Sakura Haruno, on vocals, Ino Yamanaka on guitar, and Ten-ten on keyboard. Violet Eyes' goal was to make a compilation of twelve songs on their new album – Stand Up, and hopefully the public would love them!
Hinata's voice grew bolder as she sung the chorus, her beautiful voice full of spirit and power, as she clenched a fist at her side and let her high, yet crisp notes take the stage, belting out notes from her chest, closing her eyes as emotion swept over her.
"Tachiaga~tsu tachiagaru! (Tachiagare!)
Tatakai wa owatta made wa mada nagura rete inai
Tatakai wa mada katte kite inainode, anata no 2 fīto ni noru
Anata no hōhō o mitsukeru made, bitto o tsumazuku Anata ga kono
ni~tsu o kaishite shutoku suruhitsuyōgāru tame!"
Get up, stand up! (Stand up!)
You're not beaten yet until the fight's over
The fight's not been won yet, so get on your two feet
And stumble a bit until you find your way
Because you have to get through this day! x2
She felt the familiar ache of her heart as she knew the next part was coming up, so she gritted her teeth and clenched the stand with her thin fingers, shutting her eyes shut, making sure the same power and emotion swept through her voice, as the drums and guitar took on a softer beat, slower, and more calm. She had been through heart break before, and this was one of the songs that she wanted on the new album, to empower women and girls to help them to get over heartbreak, as she had to learn a long time ago. She opened her eyes, her voice lulled to a quiet whisper on the first sentence, before she belted out the rest of the song, nodding her head to the beat of her band members.
"Hitori de subete no kanojo wa kuruma ga tōrisugiru to tōri o aruku
Ikutsu ka no mono dake (okoru koto o imi) ga okoru koto o imi shimasendeshita
Soredemo, kanojo wa omoi kokoro de roguon trudges
Kanojo wa sutāto ni modoritakunainode,
Basho ni yotte tonda basho ni modoru
To egao wa kasukadatta, kanojo wa tameshi tenakatta
Shikashi, kanojo wa (futatabi hajimaru) futatabi hajimete iru Soshite, kanojo wa kanojo no yūjin, kare wa hanarete surippu shinai koto wa dekimasen!
Anata wa akiramete, anata o nami no kurasshu o kanjiru node, toki ni
Anata no ude o agete sakebu Anata wa kore ijō no kachi ga aru node, dare demo tsutaeru koto ga dekimasu! Watashi wa anata ni shitai-"
All alone she walks down a street with cars passing by
Some things just weren't meant to happen (meant to happen)
but still she trudges on with a heavy heart
Because she does not want to go back to the start
Back to where places flew by
And smiles were faint and she never had to try
But she's starting again now (starting again)
And she won't let him slip away, not her friend!
So when you give up and feel the waves crash over you,
Raise your arms up and yell
Because you're worth more than this, anyone can tell!
I want you to-
As she sung the rest of the song, she began to smile softly, still with her eyes open, her violet eyes shining in determination as she was determined to not miss a beat – she would not let her band down – they had worked so hard for this! They would be the next best band in Japan! And Hinata would beat her rival, Sakura Haruno, if it cost her career! She was going to prove her wrong!
"Tachiaga~tsu tachiagaru! (Tachiagare! ) (Kare wa sore o kachi ga nai! )
Tatakai wa owatta made wa mada nagura rete inai
Tatakai wa mada katte kite inainode, (anata wa sore o okonau koto ga dekimasu! )
Anata no 2 fīto ni noru
Anata no hōhō o mitsukeru made, bitto o tsumazuku
Anata ga kono ni~tsu o kaishite shutoku suruhitsuyōgāru tame!"
She triumphantly stepped away from the microphone as she sung the last words and the song ended, a smile upon her face, as her band members came over to her and gave her a huge group hug, nearly squeezing the shy girl to death, every single male grinning to bright that they could compete against the harsh lighting in the studio. "We did it!" Kiba yelled, punching the air with his fists. "Yeah!"
"Congratulations, Hinata-san...it looks like we did it," Itachi said softly, giving her a pat on the back as she flushed a little, bowing slightly to him.
Sasuke smiled softly and chuckled, ruffling her hair gently. "Nii-san's right – we couldn't ever do this without you, and we've done our first main song! Now, onto the rest!"
Hinata laughed happily, her laugh sounding like wind chimes tinkling in the summer breeze, as she felt tears come to her eyes, and she hastily wiped them away, before anyone could see.
Her mother would've been so proud of her.
