I'm currently enjoying a brief but much-needed study break, and I decided to blog again since the previous post was all about assignment woes. No more of that for now!
Here's another song I found while playing SongPop: Aitakute Ima by Misia. The title is translated as, "Missing You Now." Her song "Everything" pops up (pun not intended) quite frequently in the J-pop category, so when I found a different song featured, I had to YouTube it, and bam! I've found yet another pot of gold at the end of the SongPop rainbow.
Misia's vocals are really powerful, even more so when she's singing a ballad song that carries a lot of impact. Just reading the English translated lyrics invokes a lot of emotions and memories in me. I'm sure almost everyone is familiar with the feeling of missing someone, even more so when you can never see that person again. It's no wonder this song won her quite a number of awards.
Heard that Misia's been around for quite some time, it's a shame I have only discovered her songs now. Consider me a fan!
Translation:
Do you remember the day we first met?
I haven’t forgotten a single day that’s passed
I want to feel everything you had your eyes on
I looked up at the sky, are you there now watching over me? Tell me…
I’m missing you now
There’s so much I want to tell you
Oh, I miss you, I miss you
I sadly long for your presence
Where are you? Hold me
I’ll always be here
If I knew that we’d never see each other again
I would never have let go of your hand
If I had just cried and told you, “Stay with me”
Would you still be here, smiling beside me?
I’m missing you now
There’s so much I want you to hear
Oh, I miss you, I miss you
Tears flow as time just passes me by
Oh, I miss you, hold me close
I’ll always be thinking of you
Even if my destiny won’t change, I have something to tell you
“I want to go back…” to that day, that time, this one wish is all I need
