Hey people, I am back (or at least freed from work for a while  ), so I thought I'd do a translation of CHU-LIP for anyone who wants it. There are probably translations out there already, but I'll do this as a self-learning translation for Channel-Ai, as usual. 
I am going to post, and then edit, for a lot of it, so this will not immediately be a good translation. I value any comments anyone has to give about the translation.
I should also first give a translator's note about the title (and the instances of it within the song). The reason that the title, チューリップ is rendered as "CHU-LIP" rather than Tulip, is that there seems (to me) to be a pun involving the japanese word for tulip- churippu, and the words "CHU" (onomatopoeia for "kiss") and "RIPPU" (a japonification of the english word "lip"). Thus, the title is both "Tulip" and "Kiss-lip" (which could be thought of as "lipstick mark", I suppose).
Here goes:

It seems I am going out with/attracted to a person like my dad

| Just tell your computer that the text encoding is Shift JIS; it should display properly then. |

Actually, I can't see it either.
And I can view definitely Shift-JIS.
Nice translation though...
I just wish I could see the Japanese. |

Thank you so much for doing this~
I read the translation at another forum a while ago but I don't think it's as complete and good as this one. Aichin sure use a lot of puns and such~ Very cute and unique lyrics as usual. <3 |

Thanks for the comments everyone  I love the way Ai-chan writes her lyrics... they are so uplifting (in the upbeat songs, anyway). The visual innuendo in the pv doesn't quite suit the meaning of the lyrics, although I suppose that it is Freudian symbolism, and the song is a bit about the inefficacy of psychoanalytic theories, in a way.   |

| Sorry for double posting, but for anyone interested, I found out the meaning of "YUNI zottari suru." A japanese blog suggested that it is probably a verbal form of the noun "yu ni zo n" (katakana), which I translate as "unison." Thus, it is "You become one" |

Welcome back, enlightened0ne!
And what a triumphant return it is! 
Thank you so much for the clear and thorough translation! ( ^ And finally an answer to the mystery line... )
There was quite a bit of discussion regarding the pun of the title when it was first announced (somewhere at the beginning of the single's News thread...). Gotta love the Japanese facination with puns and portmanteaus.
Feel free to add your two cents to the CHU-LIP pv, thoughts thread.  |
