Love, Now OP Theme: "Let's Go Running Together" by CosmosPeople

An indie-vibe band that dons star trekkish suits? I like this guys on principal already (yeah I have a thing for weirdo bands, like Japan's Beat Crusaders). Let's Go Running Together is a a welcome relief to the mainstream songs that bombards you with love messages about heartbreak and shiz; sometimes it's just nice to have someone sing 'bout salted fish, bananas or jogging, you feel me?

Run, Forrest, run! 
I think I may have just found the Asian Zeddie Little. 

Composer: Lin Zhong Yu (aka Xiao Yu)
Lyricist: Lin Zhong Yu
Arranged by: Cosmospeople
Producer: Chen Jian Liang, Cosmospeople
Translated Lyrics:
How long has it been since I last worked up a sweat?
How many sports shoes have not been worn?
How many problems that are still chafing?
How much needless worrying that cannot be dispelled?

Make a turn (leave your sense of direction behind)
It's not that hard (your pores will open)
Your troubles will disperse with the rise of your body temperature
I say, why would you want to shed tears instead of sweat~

Let's go running together, please don't say no
Our rhythm is two breaths, exhale
At this speed, the hustling and bustling of Earth, let's leave it behind halfway
Let's go running together, maybe there'll be a fork in the road
We could be hindered by a zebra crossing, but at least no road is off limits

Da lala Da lala Da lala Da lala
Da lala Da lala
Da la Da la 

Da lala Da lala Da lala Da lala
Da lala lu
Da lalala

How long has it been since I last worked up a sweat?
How many sports shoes have not been worn?
How many problems that are still chafing?
How much needless worrying that cannot be dispelled?

Make a turn (leave your sense of direction behind)
It's not that hard (your pores will open)
Your troubles will disperse with the rise of your body temperature
I say, why would you want to shed tears instead of sweat~

Let's go running together, please don't say no
Our rhythm is two breaths, exhale
At this speed, the hustling and bustling of Earth, let's leave it behind halfway
Let's go running together, maybe there'll be a fork in the road
We could be hindered by a zebra crossing, but at least no road is off limits

Let's go running together, please don't say no
Our rhythm makes the sunset stop crying
At this speed, the hustling and bustling of Earth, let's leave it behind halfway
Let's go running together, maybe there'll be a fork in the road
We could be hindered by a zebra crossing, but at least no road is off limits
 There are so many roads...

I actually prefer the translation "Let's Go Jogging Together" but oh, well. If you say so, cosmospeeps.
Hey, no fair - that's no running! But the band members look like they're having so much fun on this roadtrip :)

Of course, the drama version is daebak too (so many good MVs for this song!):

  3. Hi Chloe! Thanks for the translation. I just discovered the band and I'm an instant fan. I'm interested in the Mandarin lyrics though as I'm trying to learn Chinese. Do you know where I can find it? My google search led me to you. :)
