Banana Fish - Another Story/Ura Banana, Karaoke Selection Lyrics
I think almost everything of interest from "Another Story" has been translated; these are the songs the characters would sing in a karaoke event. I doubt any of them but Eiji know popular Japanese music and a number of them weren't released until after the manga timeline, but I assume it's a reflection of the feel and the lyrics. This's the closest we'll get to image songs, so translations ahoy.
Ash Lynx - YAH YAH YAH by Chage and Aska (1993)
I don't want anyone to know
what it is I want to have most.
There are a hundred saccharine stories,
and I'd like to be touched by one myself.
I don't wanna fuss about "love" or "courage,"
I just want it to come naturally.
If you can't use your fists,
isn't it like losing a part of your vocabulary?
If you're hurt, bare your fangs
so that you don't lose yourself.
Starting now, together, from now on, together,
let's go throwing punches.
YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH
YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH
Cut all the more viciously.
A dulled blade only hurts even more.
I won't go out of my way to hide
the scars left over afterwards.
I don't wanna fuss about if it's "dawn" or "morning,"
I just want to open my eyes naturally.
Is living sad?
Are there no words you can believe in?
As long as you've got the faintest strength left,
you can always wipe your tears away.
Starting now, let's get him, from now on, let's get him,
let's go punch him.
YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH
YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH
Hang in there! (With a heart that doesn't suffer.)
Hang in there! (With a heart that don't fade.)
Like taking off (jerk your fist up)
your shirt over head (like strongly ripping it off and away).
Like holding the (jerk your fist up)
seasons in your chest (Strongly, strongly...)
YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH
YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH YAH
Hang in there! (With a heart that doesn't suffer.)
Hang in there! (With a heart that don't fade.)
Ash also is said to like songs like Kyoudai Bune.
Between the valley of the waves
side by side bloom two flowers of life.
The brothers' ship, their father's memento.
Her build be old but sturdy.
It is for my elder brother and I, the cradle of our dreams.
When we've filled ourselves to the brim with enough sake,
talk always turn to our love rivalry.
But when we reach the fishing grounds of the open sea,
we are frightfully aligned, we two sibling seagulls.
We join our might, we wind the rope.
To our one and only mother,
may we grant her an easy life.
For that this brothers' ship sets to the winter sea.
While snow falls in thick white sheets,
this blood runs hot. It is the blood of our father.
Okamura Eiji - Hello, My Friend by Matsutoma Yumi (1994)
Hello, my friend. There was a summer when I loved you, yes?
It was a short one, it was a capacious summer.
Destiny - You had already long known, yes?
That it was an ease never to come again. Ah...
Grieving, Grieving, I have searched for a way back to it.
Though we can never meet again, let me still call you my friend.
Hello, my friend. I'm closing up shop again this year.
It grows cold in typhoon season.
Yesterday - It's when the seasons change like this that
I envelope the pain of the summer I was in love with you. Ah.....
Lonely for you, lonely for you, I feel for you.
Though we're separated, let me hold you in my heart as a friend.
When I get cheeky and run ahead, please easily keep at my side.
Grieving, Grieving, even if I call your name,
the turning of seasons never brings back that summer day whence I lost you.
Grieving, Grieving, I have searched for a way back to it.
Though we're separated, let me hold you in my heart as my friend.
Lonely for you, lonely for you, I feel for you.
Though we can never meet again, let me still call you my friend.
Max Lobo - Oyaji no Umi by Muraki Kenkichi (1972)
Oh, the sea. Oh, the sea.
Oh, the grand sea.
The sea of the old man who raised me.
The open sea has given him troubles and whitened hairs,
the scent of salt deeply entrenched into his body.
That old man I love so dearly.
Oh, now. Oh, now.
The sea can be silent, too.
But once it rages, it can crush even stone.
The mist of the waves, they both raise and overtake.
On the right the nets,on the left the oars.
We bare the hardships of a fishing boat.
Oh, the sky. Oh, the sky.
Oh, the thunderheads above.
Somehow they look like him, like my old man's face.
In the hard times, there in those storm clouds,
there lies the memory of my old man's glower in hard times,
the memory that I draw on to endure.
Shorter Wong- Runner by Sunplaza Nakano (1988)
Waiting out the rain in the locker room,
you hung your head a bit and said
"we won't be coming back," didn't you?
In those eyes was the wind itself.
You're so sincere it's heartbreaking.
I wonder what I could've said to you then.
The season of unmurked boyhood
passes with the rest of the seasons,
the wind always blowing hard.
Run, run, we run,
letting the sweat flow.
If I ever make it,
I'll be sure to let you know.
Sneaking onto the field,
I laid myself upon the tended lawn,
and fell asleep counting the stars, back then.
With a chest filled with too many thought to hold,
are you going to give that light smile,
leave this room without looking back,
are you going to go?
A boy's unpretentious heart
gets torn to pieces.
A dream has always been something only seen from a distance.
Run, run, we run,
letting the sweat flow.
If I ever make it,
I'll be sure to let you know.
Even if right now it's nothing but
a small and weak sun, even so
we who had no words left between us
were struck on that sweltering day by a sudden downpour.
The season of unclouded boyhood
passes with the rest of the seasons,
the wind always blowing hard.
Run, run, we run,
letting the sweat flow.
If I ever make it,
I'll be sure to let you know.
Even if right now it's nothing but
a small and weak sun, even so
we who had no words left between us

Sing Soo Ling - Love Wins by KAN (1990)
There's nothing to worry about. The day when
your feelings will touch someone's going to come for sure.
No matter how suffering and scrambled you feel,
just don't you ever stop believing.
Carry on, carry out.
The pain, the pain, the loneliness that is love!
Even if you're kind of worn down, oh, oh... Let's dream again.
If you could know the joy of being loved, oh!
Every time you see a shooting star in the night sky,
resolve to make your wish, that's how we got here.
No matter how suffering and scrambled you feel,
just keep believing, for sure in the end love wins.
Carry on, carry out.
Wanting, missing out, obtaining, being betrayed.
Obtaining love, Oh... Oh... The further it is, that distance
makes bigger the joy when you win, Oh!
There's nothing to worry about. The day when
your courage will touch someone's going to come for sure.
No matter how suffering and scrambled you feel,
just keep believing, for sure in the end love wins.
Just keep believing, for sure in the end love wins.
Yut Lung - Urami-masu by Nakajima Miyuki (1980)
I hate you. I curse you.
And I will let you know that I am not kind.
I hate you. And I do not care
if you think me a bad person.
I am the only one in tears, I am crying alone.
You? No, nothing makes you cry.
There's no one so easy to play as a jilted woman, after all, now is there?
Who did you place a bet with? How much did my heart sell for?
I hate you. I curse you.
And I will do so until the day I die.
The rain falls. The rain falls.
Beyond the laughing voice,
the rain falls. The rain falls.
I cannot see your face.
I will carve into your door with my nails
that I was just glad you were kind to me.
Who did you place a bet with? How much did my heart sell for?
I hate you. I curse you.
And I will do so until the day I die.
There's no one as disposable as a jilted woman, after all, now is there?
I will carve into your door with my nails
that I was just glad you were kind to me.
I hate you. I hate you.
Everything about you, until the day you die.
I curse you. I curse you.
I curse you, until the day I die.
Blanca - Okuru Kotoba by Kaientai (1979)
The town is growing dark; between the lights and the shadows,
you are slipping away, and to you I give these words:
Rather than bearing your pain with a smile,
it's better to cry 'till the tears run dry.
Because the more sadness known to a person,
the more kindness they can give.
Goodybe's too lonely a word to end on,
so to you whom I love, I give these words instead.
They may have been cut off by the evening wind but
please listen to the end, to the words I give you:
Rather than the pain of not being able to believe,
it's better to believe in someone and be hurt.
"Don't hope for it, you can't expect kindness of all things"
that's just a cowardly excuse.
To you whom I loved from the start,
without pomp or splendor, I give these words.
In the life you will go on to live starting now,
I'm sure that someone will love you.
But there will be none whose love for you
will be as deep as the love I held for you.
Your shadow disappeared into the crowds.
The words won't reach, the words I give to you.
The words don't reach, the words I give to you.
Dino Golzine - Sasoriza no Onna Mikawa Kenichi (1972)
Oh no Dear, I am a Scorpio Woman.
Do laugh until you're quite satisfied.
You may have been planning on merely playing about,
but I will be taking you through Hell with me.
Once I've set my mind to it,
it's my life, it's your life, it's life that's on the line.
Oh yes Dear, I am a Scorpio Woman.
And the sign of Scorpio is wholly devoted.
Oh no Dear, I am a Scorpio Woman.
Do laugh it up, you poor precious thing.
Without knowing the ways of a lady's heart,
you deceived me, sullied me, you hurt me!
A fool of a man, that is you, that you are,
that is exactly what you are.
Oh yes Dear, I am a Scorpio Woman.
And the scorpion's poison takes its time.
Your tea's growing cold, Dear. Come now, drink up.
Don't worry your head, I haven't poisoned it.
I may talk a big game, but I am, and I am,
still a lady.
Oh yes Dear, I am a Scorpio Woman.
And the sign of Scorpio is wholly devoted.
