Romanji for Arekara

Hi all!

Below is the Romanji for the song Arekara. Pookakitten did the brunt of the transcription, and I edited a few words that differed between the written lyrics and the song.

Enjoy!

arekara

Lyrics: Mikuni Shimokawa
Composer: Sin

watashi nara daijoobu
isogashiku shite rukara
ganbattei ruyo
sou, yakosoku shita kara
demo kyuu ni, nakitakuna rukeredo

kimi to wakarete kara
subete ga kawatta mitaide
touri sugiru kaze no nioi mo
chikatetsu no zatou mo
Machiga ija, nakatta yone?
kasene atteita setsuna samosu bete
ima wa mada, omoidato yobenai kuchibiru ni nukumori ga kienai uchi wa ...

kimi wa itsumo muri suru kara
taisetsu namo wo mioushinun da yo
kondo mata dareka ai suru toki
mou ichido ano koro no omoida shite ne

itsuka kimi to deaeruhe wa
taiyo no you ni hohoe deitai....

Taurec,

As far as I can tell, no way is better than the other. In actuality, in the rare occasion I transcribe to romanji (I prefer to stay in kana), doubled vowels are a mixture of both "ee" and "ei" depending on when I learned the word. (My first year's textbook used the former, and my bit of studying after used the latter.) It's like American vs. British spelling. Does "theater" mean something different than "theatre"?

@Pookakitten: Yes, it means that you are an American

For those who don't know, Gettysburgu Daigaku no Bertollo desu. The textbook my college has uses the "oo" over the "ou", the "oo" seems to be easier to read, but the "ou" and "ei" stuff seems to be more accurate when going from roomaji to hirigana.

For example, what is spelled "sensee" in my text is made of the characteres "se", "n", "se", and "i". It seems to be closer to the actual Japanese to use "ou" and "ei", but then again, I am a simple JPN-101 student, so what do I know?
