Hiroko Moriguchi - Ubugoe (translation and romanization)
Today, Hiroko Moriguchi's single, "Ubugoe," is officially available for purchase and (presumably) streaming! In celebration, I have translated the song and romanized the lyrics for those who want to sing along!
As always, thanks to M.I.-sensei for her help with the tricky bits. Thank you for always proofreading my work!
In two days, Cucuruz Doan's Island will be in theaters in Japan… I hope it is available internationally within the next few months…! Until then, let's sing!
English Translation
Kindness is scary, isn't it?
If you make a mistake, you can wound someone deeply, I know
As you gain more and more things you want to protect
You end up getting lost within repeated promises
(So far) Is there such a thing
(Long time) As an unchanging happiness?
(My heart) The power to reach out
Might end up destroying something instead
So please; right now, into my hands, let me be granted time
So that I can take off into flight
If, somewhere out there, love becomes a conflict
Which shuts off the light...
I'll certainly never forget them—the birth cries of life
The heart speaks straightforwardly
The sky, which stretches out endlessly, is watching
To see what kind of path we'll choose next
Even within the emptiness of distant darkness
A new star is already taking breaths
(So far) Fragments of hope
(Long time) I keep searching for them
(Your heart) The power to believe
Might be able to change the future
So please; right now, within your hands, may you be granted time
So that you can take off into flight
The answer for today and a different answer
If they can guide tomorrow...
I'll certainly never overlook it—the truth of life
I pray that it can become a dream
Everyone is born with the desire
To meet and embrace another, surely
Each and every person
Who looks out on the world
Has their own view of righteousness
But on that rough-hewn horizon
We are all visited by the same dawn
So please; right now, into my hands, let me be granted time
So that I can take off into flight
If, somewhere out there, love becomes a new beginning
Which opens a door…
I'll certainly never forget them—the birth cries of life
The heart speaks straightforwardly
The sky, which stretches out endlessly, is watching
To see what kind of path we'll choose next

Cucuruz Doan's Island Director Yoshikazu Yasuhiko: "I Have No Regrets about First Gundam"
On May 18, a completion announcement stage greeting event for the forthcoming new feature film Mobile Suit Gundam: Cucuruz Doan's Island was held at the Marunouchi Piccadilly theater in Tokyo. Director Yoshikazu Yasuhiko appeared on stage and revealed his thoughts about the new film, which may be the last Guandam anime work for himself.
As reported, Yasuhiko, who was the first TV series' character designer and chief animation director, told at the press conference for the film in March that Cucuruz Doan's Island would probably be the last time he makes 'Gundam' on film, and the last time he works on anime. He began his career as an animator in 1970, and now he is 74.
RELATED: Yoshikazu Yasuhiko Says Cucuruz Doan's Island will be His Last Gundam Film and Anime Work
Cinema Today has a YouTube video of what he said on stage.
The standards for a hit have changed dramatically. The scale for indicating success is very different from the days of Yamato and Gundam, so I feel that the numbers are meaningless. Since I said at the event that this would be the last one for me, I am often asked if it is really the last. I don't intend to call it 'the last' to attract audience, but I don't know what the future holds.
But as you can see, I am getting old. Making an animation is a difficult task and takes several years. Cucuruz Doan's Island was proposed to the former and current presidents (of Sunrise) and received their approval in April 2019. So it was already three years ago, and during that time there was the COVID-19 pandemic. Anyway, I am old, so it comes naturally to me that this will be my last time. If I don't age any more I may change my mind. However, it is ture that I have no regrets about First Gundam.
The film is based on the first Mobile Suit Gundam TV anime's 15th episode of the same name, which was aired in Japan on July 14, 1979. It is set to be released in Japan on June 3, 2022.
