Speaking as a woman: everything about “Itoshiku Kurushii Kono Yoru ni.” I’m impressed how perfectly he captures the woman’s heart during times like that. Lines about her tears coming out even though she’s not sad, hiding her face with her bangs, wishing for time to stop… I get that so much it almost made me cry.

The lyrics to “Kore Ijou Watashi Kirawaretakunai no.” The protagonist has broken up with her boyfriend that she was thinking of marrying, so now she’s trying to forget about him… but she can’t seem to hate him. She thinks to try and get him to see her walking with another man… but then she also doesn’t want him to hate her, either.
He really gets how women think. As expected.

The lyrics to “Naichau Kamo.” It’s amazing how he makes it harder to identify with the song by suddenly introducing the protagonist, Mariko, by name.

It’s amazing that he put these two phrases in the same song.

Is the world of “Shouganai Yume Oibito” not linked to the one of “Single Bed“? “Shouganai Yume Oibito” feels like the prequel to “Single Bed,” but from the girlfriend’s point of view.

This thread really saved me.
Starting tomorrow, I’m going to do my best again.
Henkka: I fucking love the lyrics to “Oujisama to Yuki no Yoru.“
It begins by the protagonist describing her boyfriend, kind and sweet, always ready to even ditch work to come to her aid. He’s like a prince! She decides, however, to not tell him about the resemblance. But then, during a phone call, she accidentally blurts it out anyway. Oh no! How embarrassing! At the end of the song, when the protagonist goes to see her boyfriend, she finds him there literally dressed up as a prince. “What a weird prince…” she thinks. “But he’s my prince.“
If I listen to any more Tsunku♂ songs tonight, I’m going to wake up tomorrow as a 15-year-old girl.

“Starting tomorrow, I’m going to do my best again.”
This sentence absolutely sums up this thread for me.
I love Anata Nashi de wa Ikite Yukenai. “Kimi ga kureta kono yubiwa naiteru yo hora ne” I don’t really know if the youtube translation is any good but it says something like ‘the ring on my finger is crying, see’.
I said the wrong song, I meant to say Sayounara Usotsuki no Watashi.”
“I’ve been slow to fall in love, though it’s not like I’m in a rush or anything. I’m just interested in what kind of feeling it is.”
“Even if you count up all those things you don’t have, none of that will lead to the future.”
“I know myself better than anyone, so I’d better believe in myself more than anyone.”
I love atarashii watashi ni nare this song motivates me a lot
”You give me energy afterall, and it’s the energy everyone is looking for afterall. The wonderful air is flowing through the earth I like the peace of sleeping soundly.”
[Genki+] this song brings me the absolute ataraxia, funnily enough I like when this songs starts playing when I’m running.
From Tiki Bun, I personally love this verse:
Here we go!
炎上したってなんも恐れない
その全部にウソがないなら良い
君が創造(うみだ)したんだし
Here we go!
Even if things go up in flames, I won’t be afraid
It’s good if there aren’t any lies at all
You created all of this
I especially love the second line, I’ve adopted it as a motto. There’s so much courage packed in it.
Also, all the lyrics to Toki wo Koe Sora wo Koe are just beautiful. It also happens to have one of my favorite music videos of all time. And I really want to wear one of those dresses! And that’s coming from a girl who doesn’t like to wear dresses.
