I’m going to cry.

This seriously makes me start to worry about Tsunku actually dying.

Is this not pretty much Morning Musume’s best single ever?

(Note: romanization and translation by Snipey at H!O.)

Jikuu (Toki) wo Koe Uchuu (Sora) wo Koe

Watashi wa madane mikansei tooi kako kara kimi o matsu
kono yo de deaeru to shinji kimi wo matsu

koi ni yaburete sanga ari hayaku koko ni kureba ii
nigedasu nante dare demo dekiru

samishikute nemurenai sonna hi datte aru deshou
kuyashikute naitatte iikara
toki wo koe sora wo koe musubareru koro ni wa
kono hoshii wa kirei ni naru kara

kimi wa donna kao de utau? kimi wa donna koe de warau?
mata tsugi no yo demo aeru kana? setsunai yo

tooi mirai wa wakaru noni asu no koto ga kimerarenai
yuujuufudan to wa chigau OH MY HEART

※itoshikute itoshikute tooki sora kanjiteru
me wo tojite kimi no koto kanjiru
toki wo koe sora wo koe musubareru kono imi wa
kono hoshii wa kirei ni naru kara

kaze wa hitori goto HE LOVES YOU
yume wa sono tsuzuki HE MISSES IT

I’m still not perfect, I’ve been waiting for you since long ago
I wait for you, having faith we’ll meet in this world

Nature exists when love is destroyed, hurry and come to me
Anyone can run away

I’m so lonely, I can’t sleep there are days like this right?
It’s okay to cry if it’s frustrating
Across time and space, we’ve been bound since that time
To make this planet a beautiful place

What does your face look like when you sing, what does your voice sound like when you laugh?
I wonder if we’ll meet again in another life, it’s so painful

Even though we know of the future, we haven’t decided for tomorrow
It’s different to being indecisive OH MY HEART

I love you, I love you, I can feel the distant sky
As I close my eyes and think of you, I can feel you
Across time and space, we’ve been bound for that reason
To make this planet a beautiful place

The wind talks to itself HE LOVES YOU
The dream is just a continuation HE MISSES IT

I love you, I love you, I can feel the distant sky
As I close my eyes and think of you, I can feel you
Across time and space, we’re bound by this reason
To make this planet a beautiful place

Hearing this live would make me cry. (laughs)

Best thing since One Two Three.

This really calms your heart. Listening to it you almost feel like you’ve reached enlightenment.

Good song, but until now they only released songs like this as album tracks. What happened?

94：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/15(土) 23:54:43.64 ID:0
To sum the song up in one word: beautiful.

101：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/15(土) 23:57:51.08 ID:0
It might not sell as much as their previous singles, but it’s a good song. I want them to keep challenging different genres like this.

104：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/15(土) 23:59:11.83 ID:0
I wonder what the outfits and dance look like.

114：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:03:26.24 ID:0

It was like a ballet.

121：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:05:20.93 ID:0
>>104
The dance was pretty. It made me think formation dancing is actually better suited for ballads.

105：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:00:35.22 ID:0
It’s true that for the last 10 years or so, songs like this would always end up on the albums. But when you think about it, up until Love Machine it was all songs like this that were released as singles.

109：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:02:10.23 ID:0
The thing is that songs that sell a lot these days are the ones that are so addictive they numb the listeners’ minds. I don’t know if it’s because of the lowering standards of the listeners or something, but songs like this don’t sell.

111：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:03:09.22 ID:0
Don’t know if it’ll sell, but I do think it’s good.

113：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:03:23.43 ID:0
Feels like people into late-night anime would like this. (laughs)

116：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:04:23.11 ID:0
It sounds like the ending theme to a Sunday evening anime. I definitely like Pass 0 more.

132：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:07:54.00 ID:0
The lyrics make me worried about Tsunku.
Keep your sights on the present world, man…

135：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:08:49.03 ID:0
Just heard it for the first time now and it’s already stuck in my head. It’s so pleasant to listen to this after all the EDM had numbed my brain.

141：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:10:32.40 ID:0
Amazing!! But there’s a sense of finality to it, like it’s the ending of something…

144：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:11:37.13 ID:0
It’s like you start connecting anything and everything to Tsunku’s illness.

147：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:12:25.16 ID:0
You guys might think it’s shit now, but seriously, you’ll get goosebumps when you hear it live.

167：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:18:00.64 ID:0
I don’t want Sayu to graduate but the song has such a feeling of majestic finality to it, it makes me feel like this it would be the perfect song for sending her off. (laughs)

173：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:20:28.25 ID:0
The feeling of finality makes me so ridiculously worried for Tsunku…

189：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:24:49.12 ID:0
Godly song.

219：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:31:10.78 ID:0
If there’s one thing that’s for sure it’s that it won’t sell.

221：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:32:20.32 ID:0
It does kind of sound like a graduation song.

222：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:32:23.50 ID:0
It’s painful somehow, having this be the follow-up to Kimi no Egao… Dammit, Terada…

224：名無し募集中。。。@転載禁止＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:32:44.68 ID:0
I can’t help but think that this sounds like Tsunku’s last will whereas Egao no Kimi wa Taiyou sa was like his last request to the members. Like “no matter what happens, keep on living.“

226：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:33:31.07 ID:0
In all seriousness though, this song isn’t something that most H!P wota will like, is it? To someone like me who’s a H!P wota because of Tsunku’s songs, I just don’t get it. It’s just too orthodox and boring. With Tsunku I prefer the stranger songs like Ai no Joke.

229：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:34:15.77 ID:0
>>226
To someone like me who’s been a wota since the beginning of H!P, this, too, sounds very Tsunku-like.

231：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:35:22.18 ID:0
Isn’t it kinda like early Tanpopo or something? I can’t really describe it well…

257：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:44:06.05 ID:O
Early Musume and Tanpopo was what Tsunku♂ was originally all about. It was only when Love Machine became a hit that he started going for the weirder songs.

260：まろは可愛らしい＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:44:42.33 ID:0
True, this sounds kind of like a more majestic Last Kiss.

262：音速♪ ◆x/mhMTIAQo ＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:45:02.33 ID:0
First single since One Two Three that I really liked from the first listen. Also, it feels like it’ll make you really addicted to it and yet won’t get bored of it easily.

264：いち和食 ◆gohanXuCP. ＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:45:16.03 ID:0
Tt might sound monotonous, but it’s actually good enough for me to keep on listening to it on repeat forever.

267：音速♪ ◆x/mhMTIAQo ＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:46:30.19 ID:0
What with the prominent string arrangement and stuff, there’s quite the Platinum Era atmosphere to it, too.

272：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:48:07.90 ID:0
No matter how many times I listen to it, I just keep getting this image in my head of Terada smiling. I wonder if I’ve fallen in love with the man…

277：音速♪ ◆x/mhMTIAQo ＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:49:47.42 ID:0
>>272
At the end of the day, H!P wota all love Tsunku.

285：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:51:30.19 ID:0
Didn’t hear the song yet but if it really is a good song, isn’t Tsunku on quite a streak lately? Ai no Joke, What is LOVE and the °C and J=J songs before them were all good, too.

289：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:51:58.45 ID:0
I want to hear a simple acoustic version of this, too. One with just stringed instruments and a piano.

294：まろは可愛らしい＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:53:00.15 ID:0
>>289
That’d be great.

306：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:56:56.24 ID:0
Putting this on endless repeat.

308：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:57:35.55 ID:0
I was going all “ugh, not a ballad“… until I quickly laughed when I realized it was actually a masterpiece.

317：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 00:59:26.70 ID:0
How can hearing the chorus feel this good?

324：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:00:19.48 ID:0
I want to hear the Tsunku version…

335：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:02:19.51 ID:0
Platinum Era fans are going to love this one.

377：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:10:15.50 ID:0
Are you guys seriously in love with Terada?

395：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:13:00.72 ID:0
It sounds like the first part of Bohemian Rhapsody, and then it just ends. I was expecting it to suddenly turn into like an African folk song in the middle.

398：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:13:32.60 ID:0
It’s kind of like Mikan or Seishun Collection in that it’s very straightforward and refreshing. It sounds fresh from beginning to end.

401：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:14:37.76 ID:0
Hasn’t it been quite a while since they last had a ballad as the A-side? When was the last time they did anyway?

428：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:18:51.96 ID:0
>>401
Probably not since Shouganai Yume Oibito, right? Although back then it was one of the “big three songs of unrequited love” along with Naichau Kamo and something else, so people just called it boring.

426：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:18:45.55 ID:0
What with Terada’s cancer and all, this makes me cry. Stop it with the posthumous sounding works…

427：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:18:46.56 ID:0
It feels trippy how the vocal melody plays a supporting role for the piano that’s playing the main melody.

454：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:22:22.76 ID:0
>>427
True. And with the piano doing those fast runs it makes it sound like it’s actually an uptempo song.

434：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:20:09.81 ID:0
I was thinking it was lacking something and realized it was Tsunku’s voice. (laughs)

457：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:23:24.35 ID:0
Tsunku did a pretty good job of resisting the temptation of throwing in some rap on there. When you get to my level, you can hear Gaki-san rapping all the way through the interlude.

459：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:23:31.42 ID:0
A kind of elegant Tsunku like this isn’t bad either.

Tsunku♂ @tsunkuboy
Morning. It’s spring, huh? Today’s the first day of Morning Musume’s spring tour. I think it’s gonna be a good one.

I’m sure he was looking up at the sky through the window from his hospital bed while tweeting that.

492：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:30:21.41 ID:0
When listening to it on CD, this song will surely have a more emphasized sense of rhythm to the point where it’ll sound like a march. It’ll have like this heroic atmosphere of fighting immense hardship while making one’s way to face death in battle with dignity.

496：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:31:16.60 ID:0
It sounds like it’s lacking something now without Tsunku’s voice on there.

503：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:33:26.85 ID:0
It’s just hard to see it past the “we’ll meet again in the next world” bit, but isn’t this actually a song about bereavement?

509：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:35:30.12 ID:0
>>503
For me it feels like it’s more about the endless cycle of birth, death and rebirth.

510：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 01:36:43.61 ID:0
Feels like this song will get a godly status because of Tsunku’s illness.

556：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 02:00:35.96 ID:0
Tsunku really is great after all.

597：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 02:41:30.23 ID:0
For me it’s their best song since Wakuteka.

606：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 02:52:23.59 ID:0
Reminds me of “Samishii Hi.” So Tsunku’s able to write this type of song, too…

672：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 07:10:12.41 ID:0
I think they’re better off doing Pass 0 for the general public when they go on Music Station, but I myself prefer this song.

674：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 07:12:09.66 ID:0
If you’re a wota, you’ll like this one better. Zero is more for the general public.

704：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 08:09:37.77 ID:0
It does sound like something that exceeds space and time.

713：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 08:24:38.26 ID:0
This song is kind of like plain, vegetarian cuisine — normally Terada would just stuff it with all kinds of sauces and mayonnaise.

749：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 09:56:14.71 ID:0
The arrangement is seriously beautiful. Even though it’ll be spring soon, the song just makes me picture a scenery of snow and ice.

I’m a °C oshi but maybe I ought to go to a Musume concert, too. If you see some middle-aged guy at the venue who starts crying because of this song, cut him some slack, will you?

It’s been a while since the last new song that made me want to listen to it on repeat this much.

851：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 13:57:32.53 ID:0
It makes me laugh seeing how good of a reception this one is getting.

>>851
Well, so far it’s just the wota praising it. Let’s laugh when the general public starts praising it, too.

859：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 14:45:18.23 ID:0
If it’s a song that people say sounds like lots of other songs, that means it’s orthodox. Usually what makes his songs have that “Tsunku sound” is that freshness from mixing all kinds of sounds together. This one doesn’t have any odd sounds, there’s no “WOW!“‘s or spoken words, no key changes… it’s just a really straightforward song. That’s why it’s not H!P-like. In other words, that’s why even the general public wouldn’t feel embarrassed listening to it.

861：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 14:48:58.85 ID:0
I thought the same thing about Itoshiku Kurushii, but seriously, trying to just write a song as usual but coming up with a masterpiece that has this much character and poetic sentiment in the melody and lyrics… Tsunku is a genius.

879：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 15:16:23.00 ID:0
I can’t help but think about Tsunku and become emotional when listening to it. I would’ve wanted to hear this without any feelings like that…

915：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 17:11:02.60 ID:0
I thought you guys were lying, but I was surprised to hear just how good it actually is. (laughs)

919：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 17:17:49.23 ID:0
I’m sure it’s already been said, but this is so ridiculously sorrowful…

920：名無し募集中。。。＠転載禁止：2014/03/16(日) 17:20:40.25 ID:0
Might be the first ballad-like song since Venus Mousse or 21 Seiki with this little modulation.

They are. It’s somehow nostalgic. It’s great having them release something like this as a single.
