My all time favorite song which will probably always make me cry every time I watch the PV. Its amazing that my Japanese is not the greatest that I understood what the son said in the PV. Anyways, I am here to post my version of the english translations for this amazing song. =) Never heard the song nor watched the video? I'll embed it for you here :)
Please, if you are going to use this or share it, credit me. ^^
If any translation is wrong, please correct me!
Comments are loved :D
Funky Monkey Babys: Hero* * *
Dad, always be a little more braver when you're near the train gate.
Daddy, the 'Wow Wow' voices of those you love can be heard behind you.
You gotta run for today. Run towards your goal!
Tired last night and alcohol is still left even at 6:00am. Oh!
Pour in the vegetable juice, sprinting friskily, gloomy news from the morning show.
Surely you stand up today with 10 counts of agony.
But either way, you stand up and become a hero for the family!
Pressured to take the plunge.
The packed train cries, "Don't give up to false accusations!"
The neon streets are tempting. The weekend is approaching.
But as long as there is a smile waiting for you at home,
* * *Always be a little more braver when you're near the train gate, dad. Hero!
The crowds of people slip into the sunshine day.
Looking back at the footprints of the dream on the extended asphalt, daddy,
you hear the 'Wow wow' voices of the one's you love from the back.
You gotta run for today. Run towards your goal!

Dad watches the news on television the same time, everyday.
What seems to be a pallid ordinary salary man,
is a hero fighting alone secretly for his family.
I know you can be shy and embarrassed, but no matter how difficult it is, do your best.
Pressured to take the plunge.
So you want to spend time with your loved ones to keep the stress from accumulating.
The neon streets are tempting. The weekend is approaching.
Support from your family helps you greet the Mondays.
* * *
Even when you have many things to repeat and various things to do dad,
Do it while fighting the world secretly.
To the man who protects and fights back his tears, Well done!
Carry the love on your back with you (Yeah Yeah), and go on forth today with more strength.
TV viewers of the world, let's toast to the 3rd beer!
Even though tomorrow has not yet come, the evening sun still rises in Japan.

My dream - by Hatori Takuya
My father is a news announcer.
Every morning, even while I'm asleep,
he goes to work.
Although it is very troublesome and tiring,
my father will always smile while he is doing his job.
For the family's sake
and for everyone who watches television,
he does his best at his work.
I think that he is great.
My dream is to become an announcer like my father.
The end.~
Always be a little more braver when you're near the train gate, dad. Hero!
The crowds of people slip into the sunshine day.
Looking back at the footprints of the dream on the extended asphalt, Daddy,
you hear the 'Wow wow' voices of the one's you love from the back.
You gotta run for today. Run towards your goal!
You gotta run for today. Run towards your goal!
