Momoiro Clover Z – Ame no Tachikara O Lyrics (天手力男 translated to English)
[This is a very powerful song. Actually turns to be very compatible with the Fudo-myo (Achala) based beliefs of Shinnyo-en (unexpectedly)]
Forward: The spirit of Ame-no-Tachikara-O no kami (God of Strong Arms)
comes from the story of Amaterasu (a famous mythological story about the Sun Goddess/Amaterasu-O-Mikami, and how Ame-no-Tachikara-O was able to bring her back from her sequestered cave (pulling her with his strength) which represents essentially how the Sun rises each morning.) So, Ame-no-Tachikara-O represents our inner will to persevere and have strength in times of struggle (or even darkness and depression).
Romajii lyrics here: http://www.nautiljon.com/paroles/momoiro+clover+z/ame+no+tachikara+wo.html –ももいろクローバーZ – 天手力男 (意外と簡単 – 歌詞) – http://www.kasi-time.com/item-55200.html
It’s easy (surprisingly).
Even Chi-Chi (Dragon Ball Z reference) made it okay
Getting clear from confusion
Only by chance did I learn this
A tailwind behind you makes it easy
Whether spears (the pointy kind) or rain falls
Motivate (yourself), motivate! Go forward to win!
While I look peaceful on the outside
Inside is all powerful!
Ame-no-Tachikara-O: “You are your own worst enemy.”
Ame-no-Tachikara-O: “Look beyond yourself towards heaven.”
Don’t look to the backside of the map
That’s where the (rest of) the dumb (stupid) world lives.
What do you do if you don’t cry?
Boo-hoo, boo-hoo, boo-hoo, Little Cuckoo (bird)
Crying tears myself, afraid if I stopped.
The next morning even more thirsty than before,
With an empty gas tank, I was finally motivated.
Now that I’m going, the (fuel gauge) is full.
I hide my cowardness,
And simply be brave.
Hot, hot, hot, HOT! We feel!
Let’s become a RED fighting sprit
That can do anything!
“Step, by step, by step, one more step!” I cried!
Don’t stop! Keep going on!
Yes! We’ll keep the fire burning!
Ame-no-Tachikara-O: You are your own worst enemy.
Ame-no-Tachikara-O: Look beyond yourself towards heaven.
Towards heaven!
It’s hard to be so simple.
But anything becomes complicated if you think too much (about it).
I don’t know what comes second, Mama.
Before getting rid of important things,
Do not miss the opportunity right in front of you
Chasing, chasing… I fell down.
I could have been hurt, but I wasn’t.
No need to hold back anymore, I’ll lead!
(Get(it), Get(it), Get(it), Get(it), Get(it), Get(it)…)
I thought I lost parts of my shoes
Turns out it was only mud (falling off)
With sweating, and blurring tears
(I) hold my fists tight
Is the path I chose, correct?
What if it’s wrong?
Even I became nervous at the thought.
Hotly, hotly, hotly, hotly blazing souls!
Don’t worry about raising the temperature of the Earth!
One by one, piled up: one, two three.
Let’s believe you are your own answer!
Yes! We become greater as we burn (together)!
Hot, hot, hot, HOT! We feel!
Let’s become a RED fighting sprit that can do anything!
“Step, by step, by step, one more step!” I cry!
Don’t stop! Keep going on!
Yes! We’ll keep the fire burning!
Ame-no-Tachikara-O: You are your own worst enemy.
Ame-no-Tachikara-O: Look beyond yourself towards heaven.
It’s easy (surprisingly).
It’s easy (surprisingly).
It’s easy (surprisingly).
It’s easy (surprisingly).

Creating Your Own Destiny (and Reality)
Why the Stars are Prominent in Buddhism
Practice from Your Heart

Some people say they were born unlucky. Yet we are the ones who create our future, and we can change our destiny at every moment of every day, with each decision and action we choose to take. From the winter solstice to the seasonal divide [in Jpn. setsubun, or the coming of spring], days grow longer as part of the yearly cycle. That is when a negative phase begins turning into a positive phase (and in the skies, the cross-over of the equatorial divide occurs from the Southern hemisphere to the Northern side.)
During the winter service rituals, we make offerings to the stars that “govern” our lives signifying our choice to respect that which is beyond our control. This comes from practices adopted into Esoteric Buddhism in which stars and planets were regarded as divinities, and included in mandalas for prayers and rituals. This gave people a practical means of effecting inner transformation by linking with the cosmic forces that move the stars in the sky and rotate the planet without our human intervention.
The Star Ritual period, during which a star offering rite is conducted daily, is held beginning with the winter solstice and concluding at the traditional seasonal divide. It comes at the time of the lunar New Year, when we are reminded of change, especially within ourselves. The Star Ritual acts as our own ritualistic purification of the delusions or karma that hinder our buddha nature from emerging. The practices of purification for spiritual growth and repentance for inner purification are performed along with the prayers and rituals. The rites are directed at transforming the stars that govern negativity into ones that govern and boost positivity, and help to reorient our minds so that we can transform our lives in the New Year. The Shinnyo-en Winter Training is held beginning with the new year and also concluding with the seasonal divide. That is why the end of the Winter Training coincides with the final homa (or spiritual purification ceremony) of the Star Ritual. During Winter Training, we endeavor in acts of purification—specific acts of practice to polish ourselves and awaken our buddha nature.
The underlying significance of Winter Training for our sangha will remain unchanging in the eternal future. As the first Shinnyo-en Winter Training started with the enshrinement of the Mahavairochana Achala back in 1935, it is a period for practitioners to go back in spirit to the beginning and renew their vow to uphold the dharma and embody the spirit of Achala’s embodiment of perseverance and determination deep within their own hearts and minds. When our faith remains unwavering and we strive in altruistic practice, we can help to fill the world with “everlasting hope.”
In this month’s premier issue of the new English-language publication “Resonance” (formerly “The Nirvana”, available online to Shinnyo practitioners world-wide), an early observation from Master Shinjo Ito provided the essential distillation of all dharma teachings:
Jan-1975: A letter requesting that I contribute an article for the magazine Josei Bukkyo [“Women in Buddhism”] arrived while I was out preparing for a propagation trip to [the northern region of] Tohoku. Upon my return I read the letter, and when I saw the proposed title, “The Nirvana Sutra: A Light in My Heart,” I truly felt that the Mahaparinirvana (Nirvana) Sutra is indeed a light in my heart. I would even go as far as to say it is my life.
(Buddha Shakyamuni) urges each individual to become a person who gives true spiritual support and encouragement to others. At the same time, he explains that the Nirvana teachings cannot be grasped only by theory or logic but must be mastered above all through actual practice; that is, putting the teachings into action.
In this world of the present, it may seem as if everything we see and hear brings us only anxiety, fear, or anger instead of happiness and joy. We may simply shrug our shoulders at the situation, but are we not also committing, unknowingly or at times even knowingly, the same kind of negative actions in our daily lives [that cause this anxiety, fear, or anger in others]? From child discipline to nuclear war, I think we need to give thought and reflection to these problems [instead of turning a blind eye to them]. These are not someone else’s issues. I believe the first step in Buddhism can be summed up in the phrase “give matters due thought.”
Momoiro Clover [+Z] MomoClo ももいろクローバーZ
A haunting version of Saraba, Itoshiki Kanashimi Tachi Yo (サラバ、愛しき悲しみたちよ, “Farewell, My Dear Sorrows”) (Music Box version by Orgel Sound):
My own MomoClo YouTube collection:
Like this ever needs an explanation. it’s MomoClo!
My particular favorite tends to be もリフだョ 全員集合(Morifu Dayo! Zenin Shuugou …because to me, it shows off their versatility.)
Why? They’re weird. Cute. Songs steeped in tradition. Able to parody themselves. Dance like P90X done for 2.5 hours straight, in costumes. The backing arrangements are exotic, symphonic and listenable on their own. The lyrics actually mean something (usually.)
Try a read of this wiki article covering just a smattering of this group’s unique traits: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/MomoiroCloverZ
Most uniquely – where else do you find passionate fans overseas in Paris, France able to totally support 5 teenage girls performing a capella due to a power-failure mid-concert? (Orange Note – オレンジノート)
Momoiro Clover [+Z] MomoClo ももいろクローバーZ
I’ve been thinking lately about where I would place Momoclo’s songs in a ranking, what ones do I love the most, and why.
Some of the inspiration for this comes from the recent news of Momoiro Clover Z being the group chosen to sing the theme song for the new Sailor Moon series in 2013. Suddenly Momoclo’s videos on youtube were blowing up with english comments, and let’s just say not everyone seems as excited as I am about it… But even I have to admit that if my first exposure to the group was a rather sloppy live cover of Moonlight Densetsu, I might not have been too happy either!
I don’t expect Momoclo to appeal to everyone, in fact, their strangeness is one of the things I like most, and that very thing may be what drives some away. But, I’m sure there are some people out there…
