You said it before right?
"Are you happy?"
I don't need to be happy.
I don't need anything anymore...
Not friendship, not love, nor cheap sympathy.
So can you stop it?
Hurry and get out.

Kurosaki at Tsurara, Episode 6 ~ Kurosagi

Gomen Ne, Juliet (Ah Sorry, Juliet)

When I met you, I remembered
I remembered the long forgotten feelings of loving someone
Since that time that those wonderful feelings were restored,
Every single day has been so bright and colorful
Even if things get in the way, nothing will be lost
Because I vowed to do my best to care for you and love you

Though we checked it by sharing a million kisses
Some part or some thing didn’t seem quite enough
We both sensed the end of this romance
Ah sorry, Juliet

We were more deeply in love than anyone else
But we also hurt each other more than anyone else
My chest hurt from the word "Goodbye"
We will never love each other again

We hurt through love, through love, but I can't stop myself from loving you
Your bright smiling face was snatched away from me
I wonder if it was wrong for us to have met?
Ah, I'm sorry for the way I am

Love is love, it can't be how I miss you
"I don't love you," no, that's not true
Our wish to never be apart didn’t come true
We can’t send each other a million kisses
I miss you on this holy night
I love you enough to want to break you

Even if I were to become blind, I would know it was you
That is because we hugged each other so many times
We both loved each other, but we couldn’t get beyond that
I guess it must have been fate

Though we checked it by sharing a million kisses
Some part or some thing didn’t seem quite enough
We both sensed the end of this romance
Ah sorry, Juliet

Ah sorry, Juliet

Yubiwa (Ring)

The sweet rose fragrance and your strong gaze
Ah, they charm me, I see you in the winter scenery
That innocent face of yours
Is exactly like a white canvas
But that shining ring on your finger, who is it from?

You say you don't have anyone special
I want to believe you, but the rhyme of this heart

If I tell you I love you, it seems like everything will crumble
So though I want to say it, I keep it shut in my heart
I should just always watch over you
I can't take this feeling any longer
If I tell you, will I never see you again?
I see your ring and I can't say anything

So many precious memories I made with you
Even if I have to throw them all away, I still want you

This year, as always, ah, the white snow falls
It falls gently in my heart, too
When this snow starts melting
Will I be able to tell you how I feel?
It's no good being this weak
Melt this snow for me

Time and Confusion

Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh

Live for today
We'll dream tomorrow
We've got big plans in sight
We'll take this city and by nightfall...
The bright lights are calling

Everything is going our way
Everything is just as we've planned
This is our future (from what we've heard)
And I've still got your hand

And it feels like we could last forever
And I'm not doing this alone

When memories fade
We've got each other
When time and confusion collide
Singin' I hold it all when I hold you
When friends walk other ways
We've got each other
I hold it all when I hold
I hold it all when I hold you

Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh

We fell on hard times
This isn't the ideal
We're miles from home
Doing the best that we can (best that we can)

I won't do this without you
I won't do this without you
So take heart...
'Cause you know that you have mine

And it feels like we could last forever
And I'm not doing to do this alone

When memories fade
We've got each other
When time and confusion collide
Singin' I hold it all when I hold you
When friends walk other ways
We've got each other
I hold it all when I hold
I hold it all when I hold you

Its not about the money we make
Its about the passions that we ache for
What makes your heart beat faster
Tell me now what does your body long after

I don't care now where we live
It's not where, or what, or who we were with
I just need you in my life
So promise me again

When memories fade
We've got each other
When time and confusion collide
Singin' I hold it all when I hold you
When friends walk other ways
We've got each other
I hold it all when I hold
I hold it all when I hold you

Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh, yeah-ah
Woah oh

Sawarenai

I can’t touch those emotions
I’m too conscious of them, so I can’t touch them
I want to touch them with an invisible hand
Not the skin but everything on the inside

Each time a guy turns his head to see you around town
Your loveliness twists around them
Maybe I am a fake
The one you like may be someone else

It was heart-breaking when we hugged at that park
The wind stopped that evening
But you acted like it was a joke

DON'T WORRY, I can’t touch you with all my might
I can’t touch your emotions
I want to touch them, wrap myself in them
The expanding passion swells around me

YEAH-OH, you become more charming
YEAH-OH, it’s painful but I’ve given up hope
YEAH-OH, even if I hug your nakedness
YEAH-OH, it’s not enough

Romanji Lyrics (Because the song is just too catchy)


Sono kokoro ni sawarenai
Ishikishi sugite sawaru koto ga dekinai
Mienai te de sawaritai
Suhada ja naku nakami subete

Machi de otoko ga furimuku tabi ni
Itoshisa ga nejirete iku
Tabun boku wa feiku nanda ne
Suki nano wa hoka no yatsu

Mou tsurakute dakishimeta kouen
Kaze ga tomatta yuugure
Nanoni kimi wa jooku de majiwashita

Don’t worry Chikara zuku ja sawarenai
Kimi no kimochi ni sawaru koto ga dekinai
Tsutsumu you ni sawaritai
Fukuramu jounestu ga uneru

Yeah- Oh Hikarete yuku hodo
Yeah- Oh Setsunaku oteage
Yeah- Oh Hadaka wo daitemo
Yeah- Oh Mitasarenai

~Arashi (also sung by Tomohisa Yamashita)
Tada-san, Rei san,
Congratulations on your wedding.
Ever since elementary school, I've been with Rei-san, and we spent most of our school days together.
Yesterday when I opened and looked at our elementary school graduation yearbook, on the column "Your future dream" she had written " I want to be a cute bride".
Well at the moment, Whether she is cute or not... there is a lot of doubt in that...

(Tsuru interrupts: SHE IS REALLY CUTE!!
Reprimanded by Mikio: You're butting in!)

In any case, her wish since she was little came true, as her friend, I really am happy for her.
*loong silence*
I know this is inexcusable towards Tada-san... but...
I have been thinking... that if she could, Rei should give up this wedding.
I've been thinking... I want to take Rei away.

(Tsuru: OI! Your Too drunk!)
For 14 years,
during happy times, during difficult times, during times of suffering,
the one who always spent time with Rei,
the one who would be able to make her happy,
I seriously thought that I am the only one who could do that.
If there are things that did not go well the Rei who would get sulky right away...
if the cleaning and work got sabotaged, the Rei who would get mad,
The Rei who had
obstinatly, never been honest with herself,
the one who knows her best is me.
She shows that she is a strong person, but actually she is an extremely sensitive person,
who always puts herself second, who always puts her friends first, the one who washed our uniforms as manager, and the Rei who has skills unparalleled...
who has always just... been beside me...
the one who knows her best is me.

But in the end, these are just thoughts inside my heart,
because not once have I been able to become honest about it in front of her.
Though I always have been near her, the words I thought I would say someday,
I haven't been able to say it after all.
That one thing... never did I say it.
I... I... was in love with Rei.
Honestly, if i say so, even now, I am still in love with Rei...
But, Rei, is getting married to Tada-san today.
Though its excruciating for me, she will get married.
Because her place in my heart is so vast,
the struggle for me to arrive at these words has taken an extreme amount of time.
Rei. Congratulations on your wedding.
Please become happy...
...
If you don't become happy...
If you don't become happy... I really wont forgive that.


Iwase Ken ~ Proposal Daisakusen
You said you wanted it. So I dealt with the responsibility of getting it.

Kenzo: Then... when was it? (referring to her first kiss)
Rei: Huh?
...
*Sigh*
As I thought, You don't remember at all, Kenzo.
Kenzo: Eh?
Rei: It was with YOU. During the sports festival in grade school, we stumbled in the three legged race, and we got messed up in all the confusion! Geez... you're terrible... and you took my first kiss.
Kenzo: A first kiss like that doesn't count.
Rei: Why do you selfishly decide that it doesn't? You don't have a right to say that about something you don't even remember! You only remember stupid things. Last years Pacific League batter, and Hanshin's Omari who won the best award...
Kenzo: *grabs her hand and kisses her*
*silence*

Now, is the first time. Its unfair that I am the only one who doesn't remember.
Rei: Hey WHAT DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING?!
*Slaps him on the cheek*
Kenzo: You didn't have to slap me!
* is slapped again, on the other cheek this time*
You didn't have to slap me TWICE!
Rei: That was for grandpa
*runs up the stairs but she is smiling*
Kenzo: *Looks at her go and then..* GOAAAL! GOAAL! {sooo adorable O_O}

Yubiwa the Ring

As my tears keep overflowing,
I can't see your last smile through the blur.
Don't go, please don't go... Stay here.
Light bursts through the sky.

Even this insignificant me
loved you more than anyone, with all my soul.
Thank you for all of
the precious feelings
you've given to me.

"At that time, I just...
watched for ages as the vapor trail vanished."

Please don't forget
You're not alone.
Even if we're apart, we can still carry on hand-in-hand.

With my first love, I first realized
that there could be such sorrow.

Even if something fades away, something will
live once again.
When you gave me a smile as we parted, it was
your message for me
to truly live with all my heart.

Someday surely we'll meet again
and be together.
No matter how far, we'll stare into each other's eyes
Bet all our hopes and dreams.

Let's promise each other
that we'll hold on to the intensity we felt
that day,
and live the future that blooms
in tomorrow.

~Sakamoto Ma'aya

Yakusoku wa Iranai (I Don't Need Promises)

Say, when they're in love,
does everyone get this lonely?
Say, do they embrace the pain
that's even deeper than the darkness?

It's all been so that we
can shine,
Surely

I... I love you.
I'm gazing at you with my heart.
I... I believe in you.
even on the coldest night.

Say, even if they're in love,
could the end someday come for them, too?
Say, could a feeling that's even
clearer than the blue sky end up being abandoned?

The season-changing winds
Running along the streets
Forever

I... I love you.
I'm gazing at you with my heart.
I... I believe in you.
even on the coldest night.

Even if I lose tomorrow,
and even if I lose you too,
I want to shine,
smiling as best as I can.

I call out to you now with my tears.
I don't need promises or such things,
because of the precious
strength that you've given me.

I call out to you now with my eyes.
I don't need promises or such things.
I reach out to you now with my eyes,
even on the coldest night.

~Sakamoto Ma'aya

No point in being lonely together. Isn't it easier to be lonely alone? No?

Tokei ~ Kiiroi Namida
I was just 8 years old when the war ended.
When I lost everything, not having anything to trust...
It was still one thing that gave courage to me and my friends...
that was manga

Eisuke Muraoka ~ Kiiroi Namida
We can't have real jobs! I refuse to sell my body for money. (Referring to working)

Ryuzo Mukai ~ Kiiroi Namida
Starving is part of being an artist! It adds to the experience!

Ryuzo Mukai ~ Kiiroi Namida
Do you remember? When you came back from your assistants job in July?
Back then you asked us,
"What is freedom?"
I remember telling you
"Freedom is doing what you want when you please. Eisuke does manga, Ryuzo does novels, Shouchi does pop songs, I do oil paintings."
Now that summer is over, I quit painting, just like Ryuzio-kun has quit writing.
How ironic that our season of doing what we please has caused us to abandon just that.
We can't live life for paintings and novels.
If someone is there, we cannot help but do something for them.
If we are lonely we step out to find company,
we are just week willed ordinary human beings.
We were just week willed human beings.
There will never be a summer like this.
Never again will we shed the tears we cried this summer.
Never again.
In parting, I'll let the French poet Ryuzo told us about, express our feelings of farewell.
"In the face of my life all I can do is panic, such is my useless and pathetic youth.
Now, what we acquire along with our first wrinkle, is our trust in life,
this constant and this smile, which says,
'Friend, I know all about you.'
Looking back we learn, Life never deceives man, Life... has never deceived a man."

Kei Shimokawa(In a letter to Eisuke Muraoka) ~ Kiiroi Namida
Domyouji: I'll come back after I become even more awesome as a man...
Even if you beg me... or tell me you cant live without me,
I think it will only make you stronger...
But...
Even now, even in the future, even waay in the future...
You'll always be the only girl I'll ever approve of.
I am going to be with you.

I know you're happy.

Makino: No way...

Domyouji: You liar... You're in love with me.

Makino: I AM in love with you.
Your stupid, selfish, and self-centered.
I've fallen in love with-*is glomped by the adorable Domyouji/MatsuJun in mid sentence*

Hana Yori Dango (Live)
You are the best. You SHOULD be. I did approve of you after all.

Domyouji Tsukasa ~ Hana Yori Dango (Live)
Soujiro: They say with love and tea cakes the sweeter the better
Akira: No they don't.

Hana Yori Dango (Live)
Makino: What was that just now?
Domyouji: What? You don't know? idiot *smirks*
Anyway... it's Hummingyay (meaning to say Hemingway)
Makino: Humming..yay? *confused*
Domyouji: *smirks superiorly* the book, read the book...

Then, Estella being gone and we two left alone, she turned to me, and said in a whisper:

"Is she beautiful, graceful, well-grown? Do you admire her?"

"Everybody must who sees her, Miss Havisham."

She drew an arm round my neck, and drew my head close down to hers as she sat in the chair. "Love her, love her, love her! How does she use you?"

Before I could answer (if I could have answered so difficult a question at all), she repeated, "Love her, love her, love her! If she favours you, love her. If she wounds you, love her. If she tears your heart to pieces - and as it gets older and stronger, it will tear deeper - love her, love her, love her!"

Never had I seen such passionate eagerness as was joined to her utterance of these words. I could feel the muscles of the thin arm round my neck, swell with the vehemence that possessed her.

"Hear me, Pip! I adopted her to be loved. I bred her and educated her, to be loved. I developed her into what she is, that she might be loved. Love her!"

She said the word often enough, and there could be no doubt that she meant to say it; but if the often repeated word had been hate instead of love - despair - revenge - dire death - it could not have sounded from her lips more like a curse.

"I'll tell you," said she, in the same hurried passionate whisper, "what real love is. It is blind devotion, unquestioning self-humiliation, utter submission, trust and belief against yourself and against the whole world, giving up your whole heart and soul to the smiter - as I did!"

Great Expectations ~ Charles Dickens

Seems so unjust - no camera, not even a photograph of her for him to have-
But he'll never forget

Mary Malone's Diary, The Amber Spyglass, His Dark Materials ~ Philip Pullman
"Oh, no, that's not going to happen," said Will. "You're making it harder for me to reach Lyra, not easier. She's the most important thing and your forgetting her completely. Well, I'm not."

Will, The Amber Spyglass, His Dark Materials ~ Philip Pullman
"Do you think I need anything else?"
"You could do with some sense," came the reply. "Some faculty to enable you to recognize wisdom and incline you to respect and obey it."
"Are you wise?"
"Much more so than you."
"Well you see, I can't tell."

Will and Balathamos, The Amber Spyglass, His Dark Materials ~ Philip Pullman
When you choose one way out of many, all the ways you don't take are snuffed out like candles, as if they'd never existed. At that moment all Will's choices existed at once. But to keep them all in existence meant doing nothing. He had to choose, after all.

The Amber Spyglass, His Dark Materials ~ Philip Pullman

Watch Over You

Leaves are on the ground
Fall has come
Blue skies turning gray
Like my love
I tried to carry you
And make you whole
But it was never enough
I must go

And who is gonna save you when I’m gone?
And who’ll watch over you
When I’m gone?

You say you care for me
But hide it well
How can you love someone not yourself

And who is gonna save you when I’m gone?
And who’ll watch over you
When I’m gone?

And when I’m gone who will break your fall?
Who will you blame?
I can’t go on and let you lose it all
It’s more than I can take
Who’ll ease your pain
Ease your pain

And who is gonna save you when I’m gone?
And who’ll watch over you?
And who will give you strength when you’re not strong?
Who’ll watch over you when I’m gone away?

Snow is on the ground
Winter’s come
You long to hear my voice
But I’m long gone

~Alter Bridge

Seishun Amigo

An echo, my cellphone rings, and a terrible premonition flashes through my heart
Calm down, mi amigo

I'm in a mess, help me, those guys are chasing me
Maybe this is the end, mi amigo

As if to tear us apart, the cellphone died

Yes, the two of us were always one, at home we were invincible, weren't we?
Yes, we'd longed to come to this town for a long time
For some reason, I remember the scenery, embracing the beautiful sky the day we left

When I reached a dark alleyway, you were slumped there
I didn't get there in time, I'm sorry

I can't keep the promise we made the day it all came crashing down
But I'm so happy you came

You held my trembling hand tight

Yes, when we came to this city we felt like we could have anything we wanted
Yes, we left our home behind without looking back to pursue our big dream,
smiling the whole time

We dreamed that together we could chase after a future that wouldn't change

Yes, the two of us were always one, at home we were invincible, weren't we?
Yes, we'd longed to come to this town for a long time
For some reason, I remember the scenery, embracing the beautiful sky the day we left

~Shuji To Akira
