It's not nearly as complex as English, but as usual we find ways to screw it up.

what does 'kizuna' mean?

I've seen a lot of songs with this name and there's a taiko song that's called Kizuna.

Sorry can be either Sumimasen (formal) and I'm pretty sure Gomen (nasai) is informal but it can also mean excuse me. I'd show you the kanji but my language bar disappeared and I can't get it back XD

"Kizuna" means "bond(s)", but it can also mean "chains", etc.
So it can be a tangible or intangible thing holding people (etc) together.

Hey...now I have a question XD Just to check, "gomen" is a childish way of saying sorry right?

Not really, it's just the informal way of saying it. Like you'd say "gomen" to your friend. But kids would probably use it too. "Gomen nasai" is more formal, and then "sumimasen" is very polite. It can also be shortened to "suimasen". "Shitsurei shimasu" is another really polite one you can use, like when you've inconvenienced someone. It's kind of like "pardon me".

I love you can either be "ai shiteru" for a deep, meaningful connection with someone, or "daisuki da" for a crush, or when saying it to friends/family, etc.

Those are informal, though. Formal would be "ai shite imasu" or "daisuki desu".

I'm not sure about this. It's always harder without kanji, but in this case there's some weird constructions going on. Did you write this down as you were listening to something?

My beloved person comes from this town
Since the spring when we met, he has been by my side
We're usually always together, but he's vanished
My/His peers in the school clubs, at some point... [don't understand this]
They all came and talked (to me?) for a short time
Memories shot on film (lit. camera, of course)
With him, I wasn't just another childhood sweetheart (?)
Even so, now it's loneliness... [don't quite understand ~nakoru]
This familiar profanity is transforming my tomorrow [not sure if that's right either]
