recently in the past few months i have noticed a girl group called akb48 they werent of much meaning to me, until in recent days. i think i may turn into some fanboy/otaku.
but today's post is not to focus on otaku-ism, or introducing akb, for that matter.
this particular post is simple made of a particular song. this song, called 10年桜 [juunen sakura]
i was initially feeling that upbeat-ness to the song till the end when i realised.. ah, that the main feeling to this song was one of sadness in that joy.
when it became a feeling i related to easily, i was jolted. and so i went for the lyrics.
Somewhere the cherry blossom petals Dance lightly in the wind As someone flaps their wings And heads out on their own
To be able to have met you is the meaning of the passing seasons That smile of yours was so brilliant We can’t go on together, but still don’t cry I won’t forget you
Let’s meet again 10 years from now I’ll be waiting here Shining brighter than I do right now... The graduation process is a renewal of our vow Even after this love’s burnt out, you’ll still be dear to me
Because I love you More than anyone else I’ve met up until now, I want to be able to protect Those precious dreams of yours
Even if the hurt keeps coming and things don’t go so smoothly As the number of passing springs add up, I can become lonely, but if I believe in the future, I can keep going
Let’s meet again 10 years from now Around the time these cherry blossoms bloom No matter what I’ll come here Graduation is the start of an eternal journey Even if things grow painfully dark, you’re waving your hand to me
No matter how many times the cherry blossoms bloom, I won’t forget today’s setting sun
Let’s meet again 10 years from now I’ll be waiting here Shining brighter than I do right now... The graduation process is a renewal of our vow Even after this love’s burnt out, you’ll still be dear to me
Somewhere the cherry blossom petals Dance lightly in the wind As someone flaps their wings And heads out on their own I want to be able to protect you even more
Let’s meet again 10 years later
in the end, this song gave me a chill down my spine. i kinda like this song now even tho it altered my mood significantly.
