Close to you background

Well everybody made such a big deal about what the choir and Ayu were singing in English in forgiveness, but what about in Close to You? I'm pretty sure at the end of the song when it gets light and fluffy that she's singing something in English. Anybody have any ideas?

I think the song you are talking about is CLOSE TO YOU isn't it? beacase dolls has only lalalas! hehehe

If you listen closely at the end of the sonf CLOSE TO YOU the background singers sing something but i can't tell if it is japanese or english?

an the only thing i get to hear is at the very end somthing like nighty night.... wich i don't know if it's correct!..


What do you hear?

I heard there was English at the end of forgiveness too...

this site has the romaji translation with a verse at the end in English

forgiveness:

Bokutachi wa toki ni
Doushiyou mo nai
Ayamachi wo okashi

Sono uchi ni sukoshi
Fukan ni naru
Boukansha gotoku

Maru de nanimo nakatta you na
Kao wo shite arukidasu
Dakedo kyou mo oboete iru
Tatakai wa owaranai

Kitto daremo ga ai wo mamoru tame datta

Bokutachi wa hon no
Ten de shika naku
Subete demo atte

Itsu no hi ka sore ga
Musubiatte
Sen ni naru no nara

Koko ga sora wo tadayou dake no
Chiisana katamari demo
Ashita mo kitto
Akiramenai
Tatakai wo osorezu ni

Kitto daremo ga ai wo mamoru tame ni

Maru de nanimo nakatta you na
Kao wo shite arukidasu
Dakedo kyou mo oboete iru
Tatakai wa owaranai

Kitto daremo ga ai wo mamoru tame ni
Kitto daremo ga nanika wo shinjite itai

War and destruction
Crime and desire
But I wanted only keep my love
Every cardinal sins
Every immoral deeds
But I was holding on for my love

---------------------------------------------------

Is this true?

Sorry, I meant "close to you." It gets really hard to understand her at the end, but I'm pretty sure there's some English.

there's never been any official lyrics release on the english part that she sang...so it has always been lyrics written by fans after hearin the song.....

dolls? i dun think theres any english in it either~

i dunno but sometimes listenin to ayu singin in heavy japanese accent english sounds cute and nice..hahha..i just love it

I think you mean LOVE ~since 1999~, which was written and composed by Tsunku.

yeah~

When i watched panasonic D-Snap cm at the first few times, i didn't know there are so many english words in the lyric of Real me until other people told me.
But I do like her to sing in "ni hon go"(japanese) rather then english.

I am not 100% sure about the English lyrics at the end of "Close to you", but to me it sounds like:

By your side, every time
Every day, watching you
Every night...


Of course, it could be wrong like that...

By your side
Anytime
(For you)
Anything
(For you)
What you need...

Now you're mine
____________

:S

Thats what it sounds like to me .. and in certain parts the chior in the background sounds like they're saying "For you"

____________

also there's English in the background for Voyage .. I don't think anyone has been able to figure out what's being said :S
