Some Japanese songs, I find, have the most beautiful words in the world…
“Do you remember the other day, the day we saw the scarlet sky?
We made a promise on that day, as the early summer wind circled us.
You forgot that other day, didn’t you?
The promise we made that way only disappeared into the summer wind.
You’ll remember that day we saw the scarlet sky, won’t you?
We accept this lie and walk forward together.” – Uso, by SID
“Why is the sky so blue, as if it knew no sadness?
It only crumbles away towards tomorrow
Without hesitation.
Up in the sky, the wind sings
I had a dream
People will find
Happiness
Or so you believed..” – Sora wa Takaku, Kaze wa Utau, by Haruna Luna
“In this beautiful and cruel world
We only ask “why†we’re still alive…
Ah, what are we going to protect
with our strength and weakness? If reason
no longer exists” – Utsukushiki Zankoku na Sekai, by Yoko Hisaka
