The next translation I did was for the song "Passion". This song was a much bigger step up in difficulty than "Automatic", as it is filled with colorful metaphors. By the first line - "思い出せば遙か遙か" - I was already taking artistic lisence and altering the english lyrics to the way they "felt" in Japanese. (Rather than the literal meaning) Will and Clint offered me a lot of assistance in this translation, and for that I am very thankful. Will was also the one who showed me popjisho, which made the looking up of kanji fast and easy.

I got the quality right when I uploaded this video to youtube, but for some reason, the subtitles ended up incredibly tiny. In hindsight, I should have taken a screenshot in order to put here and show everyone what it looked like, but I just pulled it down straight away, and went through the subtitling program to make all the subs larger in size.
