Akeboshi - Haikyo no Sofa (With Lyrics!)

[haft2beu]

In my memory, and when I try to sing this song, "Green Fish" is always replaced with "bus stop". xD

[chaoarecool]

This one is diffrent for the album

[Umbrinu]

*sigh* This song is so sad. Akeboshi's stories are so touching. I like the other version better but this one is great too.

[yukinkst]

Tears fall naturally when listening to this song.

[smallmak5]

:'(  such a sad song

[Akaikitsune13]

many thanx for songs and lyrics :D

[T0MRE]

The lyrics just seem to be so clear to me.. I can truly understand his style of songwriting. I think without Akeboshi's music, my life would be dramatically different.

[Peapolss]

very relaxing song.

Haikyo no Sofa means Sofa in Ruins just like the discription says^^

[Shirousagi777]

I love it!! it's so peacfull...

[TheCreamPuff]

I love this song, but I still don't get why he has called it haikyo no sofa. Where is the sofa? o_ô If it's some kind of a metaphor I might just have got it all wrong.

however, a beautiful song and in my opinion his most relaxing one, pretty laid-back and reflecting ^w^

[xXNiku]

actually it does -w-'

[Almalnum1]

Really? lawl XD

[fuyuame151]

i think the direct translation of the song is sofa in ruins, i may be wrong but i think thats it

[FMECCTV]

its something to do with ruins..

[gilgameHEARTS]

No. It means sofa. As in couch.

[lockfung]

Ya!

it make me relax

just like lying onsofa

[filthydove]

yes people, we get the picture

[KAKASHIROCKS226]

[SunnyJimmizle]

ugh it posted out of order again :(

1. This is a rainy city,

2. In a house where a student with different colored skin lives

3. Walking in the rain I've been told today

4. I headed up ahead for a cafe on the edge of town, not finding a song I want to hear

5. I see you shouting and yelling and struggling

6. This is a rainy city, formerly a beautiful and legendary port city ...

:D

[SunnyJimmizle]

This is a rainy city, formerly a beautiful and legendary port city

Now ruins stand here, and it overflows with people that pester you for change

In a house where a student with different colored skin lives

Is where I've settled down; Only half a year has passed since that rainy day

I walked on because of the stubborn sound of the bell

I'll find us on a stone-paved road

[SunnyJimmizle]

Walking in the rain I've been told today

never wanna see you again.

I feel like I'm still wet in this tiny room

why should I pretend to be high.

I walk to Green Fish to listen to the sound of silence.

A man who plays the harp gently shakes my hand

and he leads me in to the story of him.

[SunnyJimmizle]

I headed up ahead for a cafe on the edge of town, not finding a song I want to hear

My cold heart melts with the smell of the soup and the Celtic tones

I wonder how many times I've been saved by the conversations of the round old man that picks herbs?

The heading on the newspaper on the table somehow projects what's outside

[SunnyJimmizle]

I see you shouting and yelling and struggling

But I can't hear your voice

I see you shouting and yelling and struggling

But I can't feel the same

This is a rainy city, formerly a beautiful and legendary port city

Now ruins stand here, and it overflows with people that pester you for change

If there is a god, then let him show himself on this land

[SmartYourTube]

I have just realised how beautiful this song are and I must say that I really admire Akeboshi for beeing able to make such wonderful songs.

And also thank to you jujub for uploading his songs Thank you Sank yu Arigato :D

[SunnyJimmizle]

I'd like to say thank you jujubeandtiaras for posting his music :D :D Other wise i would have never discovered such a beautiful artist :)!♥ and your probably helping him get out there :O :D

[Neomagician4]

it sounds like he is saying i walk to the green fish instead of i walk to green fish other wise my ears are toying with me on what i think should be said lol -.-;

[2SunMedia]

thx for the lyrics :D I either look for them on japanese sites but this is much more efficient

[jujubeandtiaras]

I've found a great Akeboshi fan that has sent me or helped me correct all these lyrics, so thanks to him we all can enjoy them =D

[2SunMedia]

yes i know :D YAY THEM

but I've noticed that some songs like rusty lance and leaf on leaf don't have the english lyrics yet so idk, lets just be patient :D

so thats when sometimes japanese sites can come in handy XD

[MasterBrandini]

@jujubeandtiaras are you sure the english lyrics are right cuz i always thought he was saying "i see you sharing and yirring and struglling but i cant her your voice" i also thought that he said "africans do it in this tiny room why should i pretend to be high" but i could be wrong.

[RobinArty]

Haikyo no Sofa = sofa in ruins

[GoteNnick]

Akeboshi Rules x'] 100%

[RobinArty]

ijidatami→ishidatami

HAABU→HAAPU

[kaetzchenderliebe]

one of my favs by akeboshi. :)

[Harrybot]

Does anyone know the chords to this song?

[Harrybot]

I kinda figured out that it's pedal point with a G major chord in the right hand of the piano. With the left hand it goes from G, to F#, E, D then I can't figure out what it does after, but I'll just listen to it again

[jujubeandtiaras]

¿o_O?

I have never learnt how to play the piano -nor any other instrument- so I'm afraid I can't help you =(

It's amazing how some people can figure out the chords to any song just listening to it... I wish I could do that too =D

Please let me know if you upload your version of this song, I'd love to hear it! ^,^

[mercermidkid]

its never imppossible all you gotta do is no the rythym more enough to match a note's sound

[kohaku295]

I was listening to this song and reading naruto manga, and the words "sharing and" played right as Itachi unveiled his new sharingan. I almost fell out of my chair O.o

[jujubeandtiaras]

Lol! The first 50 or 75 times I listened to this song I really thought he said sharingan xD

As you can see, my listening comprehension is totally awesome xD

[boiledRicee]

My favourite out of all my favourites..I'm in love.

[Robukun]

Haay, thans for the lyrics:D

[jujubeandtiaras]

You're welcome!! ^,^

[mondomaggie]

This song is amazing...:)

I love it...:)

[jujubeandtiaras]

I agree ^.^

[TheNewKidOnThaBlock]

The music and singing for all his songs are awesome...but I live in Canada and can't get an album :( So I download EVERYTHING! Akeboshi is amazing!

[KhundaHeather]

I have this problem too! I live in Poland, and I can't find his album in most popular polish shops. :/

[denipie]

I live in The netherlands and i buyed it on E-Bay it's easy:)

Btw Love This song the best of Akeboshi

[duskremmerfisken]

You say you download everything - from where? I can hardly find anything by Akeboshi anywhere! Please, help! Thank you ^^

[TheNewKidOnThaBlock]

I found some on LimeWire...some on MediaFire (Although you can't search from that site, you have to use Yahoo or Google) and a grand total of 2 songs on Gendou(dot)com.

[27Luciana27]

Buy it online muppet, lol.

[Omnivoe]

UMM, Did he say pretend to be high?

[jujubeandtiaras]

It sounds like so, but since I haven't found the lyrics I can't tell for sure... I guess he means he doesn't feel like pretending he's okay, but anyway...

It was just the other day that I realised that what sounded like 'I see your sharingan' was in fact 'I see you shouting, and[...]', so who knows xD

[YukamiKuriyashi]

I've listened to this song thousands of times. AND GOD BLESS YOU FOR PRINTING SOME LYRICS!!!!!!!!!! *glomps*

I've also taken some of your english translations, and put them on beat to the song, although I'm not quite done with them.

~Sayuri

[Inaru52]
