Romaji Title: tegami ~haikei juugo no kimi e~
Kanji Title: 手紙 ~拝啓 曙ﾜの君へ~
English Title: Letter ~Dear Me In 15 Years~
| This song was written to be used at a choir contest held by TV station NHK. It was also featured in the lineup for NHK's "minna no uta" from August to September of 2008, and was featured in a commercial for the Japanese postal service in October of 2008. Also one translator's note: Though the word "anata" ("you") is used throughout this song, it's obvious that Angela Aki was trying to indicate sending herself to herself fifteen years in the future. Because of that I did not feel that "you" was an appropriate term to use for an English translation. |
haikei kono tegami yonde iru anata wa doko de nani wo shite iru no darou
juugo no boku ni wa dare ni mo hanasenai nayami no tane ga aru no desu
mirai no jibun ni atete kaku tegami nara
kitto sunao ni uchiakerareru darou
ima makesou de nakisou de kiete shimaisou na boku wa
dare no kotoba wo shinji arukeba ii no?
hitotsu shikanai kono mune ga nando mo barabara ni warete
kurushii naka de ima wo ikite iru
ima wo ikite iru
haikei arigatou juugo no anata ni tsutaetai koto ga aru no desu
jibun to wa nande doko e mukaubeki ka toitsuzukereba miete kuru
areta seishun no umi wa kibishii keredo

ima makenai de nakanai de kiete shimaisou na toki wa
jibun no koe wo shinji arukeba ii no
otona no boku mo kizutsuite nemurenai yoru wa aru kedo

Keep on believing
