Listen: Youtube
I stayed up most of the night last night tackling this song... went to work... then finished it once I got home. <3 "I Love You" has been one of my favorite japanese songs of all time, for years. It really is a masterpiece, and carries so many emotions within it. And Yutaka's death makes this song even more important to me. I find myself singing it all the time. <3 (Note - the youtube link I sent isn't Yutaka singing, but Kazumasa Oda's touching tribute to him instead.)

| I love you 今だけは悲しい歌聞きたくないよ I love you 逃れ逃れ 辿り着いたこの部屋 何もかも許された恋じゃないから 二人はまるで 捨て猫みたい この部屋は落葉に埋もれた空き箱みたい だからおまえは子猫の様な泣き声で きしむベッドの上で 優しさを持ちより きつく躰 抱きしめあえば それからまた二人は目を閉じるよ 悲しい歌に愛がしらけてしまわぬ様に I love you 若すぎる二人の愛には触れられぬ秘密がある I love you 今の暮らしの中では 辿り着けない ひとつに重なり生きてゆく恋を 夢見て傷つくだけの二人だよ 何度も愛してるって聞くおまえは この愛なしでは生きてさえゆけないと きしむベッドの上で 優しさを持ちより きつく躰 抱きしめあえば それからまた二人は目を閉じるよ 悲しい歌に愛がしらけてしまわぬ様に それからまた二人は目を閉じるよ 悲しい歌に愛がしらけてしまわぬ様に |

I love you. I don't want to hear any sad songs now. I love you. Fleeing, fleeing, I arrived at this room. Because love does not forgive everything, we look like abandoned cats. This room looks like an empty box buried in fallen leaves. So your voice cries out, like a kitten. If we gather up the gentleness on this creaky bed and hold our bodies tightly together, then, we'll close our eyes again so our love won't fade into another sad song. I love you. We are too young, yet our love has untouchable secrets. I love you. I can't reach it with my current lifestyle. The love that comes and lives as one, it hurts us to think it could only be a dream. I've heard I love you so many times, I cannot keep living without this love. If we gather up the gentleness on this creaky bed and hold our bodies tightly together, then, we'll close our eyes again so our love won't fade into another sad song. Then, we'll close our eyes again so our love won't fade into another sad song. |
