This is a song I fell in love with the moment I heard it. The first thing about this song that captures you is Yui's voice. There is something about it that is unusual but so refreshing and pleasant. It seemed to me to be filled with innocence (hope this didn't sound funny). Her voice is enough to make you fall for this song. Another fact that I just learned(though I cannot vouch for its authenticity) is that Yui actually composed this song, wrote it and (of course) sang it. That is remarkable talent. This is the first song of hers that I heard. I'm definitely a Yui fan!!
There is definitely more to this song than just Yui's voice. It is the varying mount of music put into it. One thing that this song is not is that it is not monotonous. It totally captures you. It is slow and then fast...Its amazing.
This is a Japanese song. I've recently taken a tremendous liking to Japanese songs inspite of the fact that I don't know a word of Japanese. So, now it is quite obvious that I didn't get the meaning of this song. But I'm sure that the meaning is deep because this song was chosen to be the opening theme for the most anticipated anime of 2009 - Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.
What I think lacks in this song is emotion in the initial part of the song, just the initial part. Further along in the song it has the perfect quantity of aggressiveness.
It is a song full of energy, has a great vibe to it.
All in all, it is an amazing song. I cannot believe anyone in the whole wide world wouldn't like this song. A must listen for everyone irrespective of the genre you prefer. I'll post a download link as soon as possible and also the lyrics.

the english meaning of the song, i don't think you can call these the lyrics--
ReplyDeleteEven though I must have been pursuing
The continuation of my dream
On a narrow, winding road
I trip over other people
It’s not that I want to return to
How it was like back then
I’m searching
For the sky that I’ve lost
I wish that you’ll understand me
Stop making that sad face
Like you’ve been sacrificed
There aren’t tears at the end of sins
I’ve painfully bore them all this time
In the labyrinth of emotions where I can’t see the exit
Who am I waiting for?
As if having written it in a white notebook
I want to divulge myself more honestly
What
Do I want to flee from?
…Something known as reality?
So that I can fulfill myself
I’m alive
When it seems like I’ve forgotten about it
In the middle of the night
Because it can’t be done
Safe and sound
…There’s no place for me to return to, either
Isn’t life still too long
For erasing these thoughts? (I’m on the way)
I even welcome such a pain
That turns nostalgic
I’ve got to apologize
ah, I’m sorry
Unable to express it well
You were worried, weren’t you?
Everything that I held back then
Everything that I’ll hold tomorrow
Because I won’t
Put them in order
I wish that you’ll understand me
I quietly closed my eyes
I can even see
The things that I don’t want to see
I get a little annoyed at unnecessary rumors
What was the initial remark like?
If we meet twice, aren’t we friends?
So stop lying
As if my red heart is irritated
It’s burning inside of my body
The truth is
I’m anticipating
…Something known as reality?
So that I can fulfill myself
I’m alive
I feel like shouting so
Can you hear me?
Because it can’t be done
Safe and sound
…There’s no place for me to return to, either
I’m always grateful for kindness
So I want to become strong (I’m on the way)
In order to move on
I welcome friend and foe alike
How can you open
The next door? Are you thinking about it?
I can’t pull back anymore
The story is starting
Wake up, wake up
Isn’t life still too long
For erasing these thoughts?
I have things left to do
Because I want to try redoing them
Let’s go again
So that I can fulfill myself
I’m alive
I feel like shouting so
Can you hear me?
Because it can’t be done
Safe and sound
…There’s no place for me to return to, either
I’m always grateful for kindness
So I want to become strong (I’m on the way)
I even welcome such a pain
That turns nostalgic

Watching Yui made me feel why we don't have artists like her in India. Its kind of sad.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I love her hair style.
