well its acually just the op of Air Gear and all the versions i have seen includes an english subtitle of the song so i would guess its official. you can find it on youtube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YieEuQ1ezqQ

Thanks for posting your version, Ed. Would it be possible to post a link at all please? I wasn’t aware there was an official version out as I’ve only seen the fansubbed versions, so a link would be really helpful :)

Thanks also for suggesting comment editing - I think I might well include in either this version/next version of the site. It will basically allow users to edit their comments within 15 minutes (this can be set) of their comment post. Do you think this might be helpful?

The OP version of ‘Chain’ is essentially the first half of the full version from the CD :)

unless of course it is just somthing else that is like an outline… i hope it isn’t… well thats that i guess… it might not be right though…

ok heres the official translation for the Air Gear song srry its only the first half

on top to break the chain no pain dont be afraid but unchanging same old days
same as always, keeping on spinning is okay, the dried up sight
repeated days are like the inescapable equation
the puppet that was manipulated int the past, erasing away I hear your voice
calling for the sun
wrapped up in gray
leading to tomarrow while beating defeat my wish
lets go
on top to break the chain, no pain, dont be afraid

you are sorry and adventurous and usually supporting miss everthing
spread your wings
thats the sighn it’s time to try you gotta (fly?)
to the blue world
theres no top or bottem you gotta brab the sky
to the blue world

@ed: I think you might be referring to BenBoomZ’s video? I thought he did a great job ;) At the start (or end?) of the video, he does credit Back-on Online for the lyrics, and I’m still very much hoping that they’re correct. If not, I would be grateful if you wouldn’t mind posting a direct link to the video if possible. Thanks! ^^

it seems quite a coincidence that a guy with the same name would appear on this site as well, but i agree with him. if you go to youtube then search back-on chain subbed then you can simply copy the text. The Air-gear version is not complete as it is an OP

since you said that you might need some help if you go to youtube and search Air Gear OP then the video has all the lyrics in english and japanese and the english form of japanese

@Joz: I would love to say I know the language, but have to admit that a straight-off translation would be far beyond my rudimentary Japanese abilities at the moment. This was done with lots of cross-checking using translators and dictionaries, and corrections to any mistakes are always welcome!

@Wingz: Thank you :) Back-on are the coolest! I’m glad the translation was helpful for you!
