I think it's actually not faithful to Ayu's music if you translate it to an actual him or her, as she I think has always avoided that? (May miss a song or so.) But artists like Kumi Kuu do have some really directed stuff like "hey boooyyy".
Also, it already says "him" in the chorus.
@masa: Oh, okay. That's cool. I like it a lot more. ^^

It is really implied because she is a woman singing about a lover.
Until Ayumi can say otherwise, it is usually that she is singing about a boy when she is singing those love songs?
She always performs with Shuya about those love songs..
And again I said, it's really awkward in Japanese songs to use the word for boy or man. Actually, to say "かれ" (kare) when referring to someone is a bit rude.
She has never used the words (kare) when referring to someone she is singing a love song about.
However, neither has most other Japanese singers.
She doesn't use the word "him" in the chorus...
She uses the word "person."
Just because Midoring played the boy part in the PV, doesnt mean we should assume she is singing to a girl.
We dont actually know the story about Midoring, so until she specifically says Midoring is a girl in the PV, most Japanese people are saying Midoring is a man.
We translate the song to mean that she is singing to a boy.
It's so weird for her to sing that kind of song to a girl... =\
Because we know she is not lesbian or gay or whatever you call.
We know she was going with Nagase.
In Japan, you just know.
Boy sings to girl,
Girl sings to boy.
The only time it is different is when it is really obvious.
There is not the same sense of gay and straight in Japan.
But yeah, for the sake of preserving the comparison of smiles, it's better to say "him," or if it is actually that bad for you to say it, at least "person."
I dont really get why people dont wanna put "him."
I really, really don't.
It's not being faithful?
Then you must go back to each and every Ayumi song, and everytime someone translating something as him, then change it. （￣〜￣；）？？
