thanks for the leaks guys!

SAKURA... hmmm I've got mixed feelings about this one... I don't really get the song even after the 3rd repeat and I'm usually a ballad person.

Bye Bye darling on the other hand got my attention at the first listen. It's like a song from A Song for XX getting a make over I like it

untitled for her story 2 is one of those songs where the music itself can paint a story to me. It's so beautiful, the way it progresses. From that painful feeling to one that is more hopeful. Thinking how this song is rumoured to be for that fan who passed away really makes it heart-wrenching.

There may be a couple tweaks to this when the booklet scans come out, but for now here's a translation for Bye-bye darling.

Quote:
What is this feeling, I wonder?
You feel distant,
rapidly becoming a blur, I can't touch you anymore
I close one eye, then slowly the other
If I do it over and over again
It seems as if you're disappearing

It's not an excuse
I'm not glossing it over
Because the one who decided it was a mistake
was me, and no one else

I've let go of it again
What I believed in from the bottom of my heart
Even though I believed you were the only one in the world
I'd spend eternity with

Why did I let go
of what I want to believe in from the bottom of my heart?
Even though it was the last glimmer of hope
left for me in this world

Are you laughing with all your heart?
Haven't you made your way back yet?
I can hear a voice saying,
"Shall I come pick you up?"

I don't have a place to go back to anymore
There's nowhere for me to lay my head
I don't even know where I am now
I haven't known since the day I lost sight of the exit

I won't go back again
No matter how much my heart yearns to be saved
Wherever I am in the whole wide world
Even if it means I'm alone

I won't regret anymore
No matter how my heart may scream
Wherever I am in the whole wide world
Even if it should be my end

The sun will never rise again
This long night will never end

I've let go of it again
What I believed in from the bottom of my heart
Even though I believed you were the only one in the world
I'd spend eternity with

Why did I let go
of what I want to believe in from the bottom of my heart?
Even though it was the last glimmer of hope
left for me in this world

I understand so much it hurts
that there's nothing left but the moon

I know there were rumors floating around about the lyrics possibly being dedicated to a fan, but now that the song has leaked it's definitely still about the person who the original was dedicated to. I've cried each time I've listened to it; even if the composition isn't quite as strong as the original untitled, the connection between the original and story 2 in terms of the music and lyrics is definitely very tangible, and you can tell she still misses this person a lot.

It so, so is.

(Truth be told I heard 'tsuki' [moon] instead of 'tsugi' [next] the first time I listened through, and I looked back at the line where she mentions the sun and the long night, etc etc, and I thought she was being poetic and I was just too dumb to be able to translate it properly...then I listened again and realized maybe she was saying something else. I hope I'm right about that, tbh. "I understand so much it hurts/that all I have left is the moon" really just doesn't have the same impact.)

/coolstarrybra


Edit: I keep bouncing back and forth between my original interpretation and the sun/moon symbolism. Anyone else care to share their input? I've changed it for the time being, but...

It seems that someone else also heard 'tsuki' in their 'ear copy' lyrics. It must -really- sound like tsuki.

Yuu posted their ear copy lyrics on a BBS~

Bye-bye darling
Spoiler:
この気持ちって何だろう 君を遠くに感じるよ
どんどんぼやけちゃって 触れられないよ
ゆっくりと目を閉じて またゆっくりと開いて
て繰り返してったら 消えちゃいそうだよ

言い訳なんてない 綺麗事も並べない
間違えでもいいと選んだのは
他の誰でもない 自分だから

僕はまた手を離したよ 心の底から信じてたものを
この星でたった一人 君が僕の永遠だと思ってた
僕は何故手を離したの 心の底から信じたいものを
この星にたった一つの 光だったのに


心から笑えてるかい まだ帰っては来ないかい 
そこに迎えに行こうかって声が聞こえる
もう帰る場所はない 眠りたい場所もない
出口を見失ったあの日から 今いる場所さえ分からない

僕はもう戻らないよ 心がいくら助け求めても
世界中どこにいても それが一人君だったとしても
僕はもう悔やまないよ 心がいくら悲鳴をあげても
世界中どこにいても 僕の終わりでも


太陽はもう登らない この長い夜は明けることは無い

僕はまた手を離したよ 心の底から信じてたものを
この星でたった一人 君が僕の永遠だと思ってた
僕は何故手を離したの 心の底から信じたいものを
この星にたった一つの 光だったのに


痛いくらい分かってるよ 月だけ残ったこと


SAKURA
Spoiler:
澄んでひんやりした風が頬をさす
こんな夜はいつも決まって君がくれた
メールを一人読み返すよ
どんな気持ちで書いたのかな

生きてく事はどうして切ない
生きてく事はどうして嬉しい
Ah- 君のために 今できることは
この涙をふいて 笑顔でいる事


いつもと変わらない 他愛ない話も
隙間に感じるよ やるせないリアル(?)
誰より辛い日々が誰より強くて気持ちに言葉追いつかない

生きてく事はこんなに尊い
生きてく事はこんなに儚い
Ah- 君のためにただ出来ることは
そうどんな瞬間も僕らであること

生きてく事は Lala lalalala lala
どんなに尊い Lala lalalala lala
生きてく事は Lala lalalala lala

僕らであること


untitled for her... story 2
Spoiler:
もう大丈夫 乗り越えた
そんな顔をして
あの日からちょうど五年
月日経ちました

今も私の願いなら
変わらないままです
一度だけ もう一度だけ
あなたに会いたい

手をつないで 歩きながら
些細なことで泣いたり 笑ったりしていた二人

あなたの選んだ 場所から今のこんな私は
どんな風に ねえうつっているでしょうか
あなたの選んだ その場所にあなたを苦しめる
ものなど一つさえないことを祈ってます


いつかのその日まで 待ってて

ここには消えてく どころか あなたに聞いてほしい
ストーリー 絶え間なく 増え続ける毎日です

いつかもう一度 あなたに会えたその時は
嫌がられるくらい 抱き付いてみてもいいですか


petal
Spoiler:
いつもと変わらない 帰り道の途中
見慣れる一輪の花に出会いました
色も形も何も 好みではなかったのに
どうしても惹かれてしまいました

好き 嫌い 好き 嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残る一片が
好きな方であると良いのですが

今朝目が覚めたら 花がそこにあって
恐れのかけらも見せずに咲いてました
そんな所がきっと 惹かれた理由なのでしょう
大切に水をかけてゆきましょう

好き 嫌い 好き 嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残る一片の
運命委ねてもいいですか

好き 嫌い 好き 嫌い
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残るひとひらが
好き方であると良い

さよなら さようなら
一枚ずつちぎって
最後に残る一片が
嫌いな方だったら

Spoiler:
なんだか僕らは すぐに忘れてしまうね
始まりがいつだったか どこでどんな風吹いていたとか

なんだか僕らは ずいぶん慣れてしまうね
傷にしみた事とか 笑えなかったことだとかも全部

ここにある現実と この両腕に いっぱいの愛ギュッと抱きしめて
その目で見たものやその手で触れたものを信じて
飛び出した感情だとか尖ったままの言葉もある
けれど諦めないでね ほら明日へのエールに変えて


なんだか僕らは 欲張りになってしまうね
どのくらいだったとか それまでの事を見失うね

ここにある現実を その先にある
未来は誰のせいでもないから
選んで決めて背負って 僕ら自身の手で
真っ白い紙を広げて キミだけの地図を描いたなら
そこからじゃなきゃ見えない 景色をどうか大事にして


君も誰もそんな強くはないね
だから一人になんてしないから

ここにある現実と この両腕に いっぱいの愛ぎゅっと抱きしめて
その目で見えたものやその手で触れたものを信じて
飛び出した感情だとか とがったままの言葉もある
けれど諦めないでね ほら明日へのエールに変えて
そう明日へのエールに変えて

Bye-bye Darling's lyrics seem to support Ayu's concept for LOVE again the greatest so far.

SAKURA had a couple of difficult parts, too...but where would the fun be if it was straightforward?

Quote:
The clear, cool breeze strokes my cheek
On nights like these, I sit alone,
re-reading the messages you sent me,
and wonder how you felt when you wrote them

Why is living so painful?
Why is living so joyous?

What I can do for you now
is cast aside my tears and be here with a smile

Even during our silly conversations
there are moments full of helplessness that make it real

You can face the difficult days with more strength than most
But I can't express that feeling in words

Living is so precious
Living is so transient

The only thing I can do for you now
is to stay with you, as we are, no matter what

Living is so precious
Living is

To be as we are

edit: thanks tenshi for your input on the first part!

untitled ~for her~ ...story 2 still makes me cry. Couple of notes for this one.

Quote:

I'm okay now, I made it through
That's what I tell myself*
We've reached the day
that marks the passing of five years
since that day

Even now, my wish
hasn't changed
Once more, just once more
I want to see you

To be as we were
holding hands as we walked
laughing and crying at trivial things


I wonder how I must look to you now
As you look down on me
from the place you chose to be

I pray
there's not a single thing making you suffer
in the place where you chose to be

Until that day, someday
Wait for me

The traces of you haven't disappeared
Every day is full of stories that I want you to hear
They pile up incessantly

Someday, when the time comes for us to meet again
Can I hold you so tightly that you'll hate me?**


*顔をする in Japanese literally means to 'make a face' but in this case, it's like she's putting on a mask. She tells herself (and everyone else) that she's fine 5 years after the death of her friend, but inside she's still hurting.

**Thanks tenshi for your divine inspiration~
It's been five years since the release of the original untitled and thus 5 years since the passing of her friend, as referenced in the lyrics. Ayu also makes very explicit references to the original song through her lyrical choices, especially in the italicized stanza above (which is veeeeery similar to the opening lyrics of the original).

petal is very poetic. Going to revisit this one after the booklet scans come out since there's a part I want to double-check with the official lyrics.

Quote:
In the middle of an ordinary walk home
I encountered a single flower I'd become familiar with
Its color and shape weren't to my liking
But I was captivated

He loves me, he loves me not
Plucking the petals one by one
What if the last petal should say
"He loves me"?

I awoke this morning and saw the flower laying there
It had fallen without a shred of hesitation
Surely that's why it was so captivating
I gently let it go, and move forward

He loves me, he loves me not
Plucking the petals one by one
Shall I leave the last petal
in the hands of fate?

He loves me, he loves me not
Plucking the petals one by one
If only the last petal said
"He loves me"

Farewell, farewell
Plucking the petals one by one
If the last petal says
"He loves me not"...
