My Sad Songs

There's 2, and they're both in japanese. xD

-Final Distance by Utada Hikaru is the actual sad song because it's supposed to be sad. It's sort of annoying now (haha), but I guess it's still that one sad song I listen to when I want to think about sad things.

-Hikari by Aoi Teshima is the one I like more. I don't know if it's supposed to be a sad song, because it kind of comes of hopeful, but it makes me feel sad when I listen to it.
And looking up the unofficial english translation right now, it seems like it is one of those hopeful sad songs.
*right on target. xD*

Hey...do things that never change no longer [matter] in this world?
Hey...do things that I want to convey no longer [matter] in this heart?
The depths of the night, morning awaits, the repeating everyday...
Hey, if you have already forgotten about that promise,
Hey, with this singing voice, ah, hope it reaches you,
From the end to the start, from overflowing tears today begins
To the distance to the distance the silhouette of past seeking for light, ah...
To the distance to the distance wanting to grasp the unceasing mirage, yeah...
Overlapping, overlapping, light and shadow
Beyond there lies something


I think those are nice lyrics. :) Yep.

  1. Japanese lyrics translated back into English, I have found, are normally completely different from the Japanese. They use the same words, but it's all put in the wrong order, leading to a different meaning.
    I haven't the original to that song, so maybe the person who translated it was smart.

  2. Oh. xD I hope the person who translated it knew what they were doing. Even if they're not smart, they made the words sound good together. x3
