I'm sure there are loads of translations for japanese songs out there. Just search again, and maybe type in "japanese songs translated in english" this time around in your search bar. Only problem, chances of them having your song is 1 to a million.eek.!! :?
Like I said in my previous post, translation sites are a BAD IDEA for Japanese, because Japanese is a very strange language when it comes to tenses, verb structures, and so on. I'd *barely* trust free translation sites to translate, say, the phrases in a Japanese textbook, which are as basic as it gets, but they do *not* translate "normal" Japanese (i.e. the kind of stuff you'll find on the internet, song lyrics, regular conversation, etc) well.

As far as song translations, it's not like every Japanese song ever made gets translated - the only bands that have lots of translations floatin around are the ones with massive popularity in the US, and Cool Joke only has one song with hit appeal over here (Undo from FMA).

what type of song is Broken Moon like???? Is it face pace beats..orchestral...etc I have quite a wide range of anime songs that i have collected maybe i can find one similar to Cool Joke that gives the same effect you want.. I've never heard of it so it's a bit difficult for me to help. Well good luck with making the vid anyways.

<b>jimmy_neutron</b> - you're not paying attention, this is for a contest (well, a tournament of some sort). He has no choice in the song selection, and his opponent has to make a video to the same song as well.
