No? Is it just me? Well, this is exactly what happens every time I hear this song. I imagine my long lost lovers, the chill of loneliness, and the nights I danced alone to slow romantic musics. For the hopeless romantics drawn to tragedy, <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Kay%C5%8Dkyoku\">Kayou<\/a> is where you need to be (or <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Enka\">Enka<\/a> as well for that matter). Adult, heart-torn, tragic, foolish lovers with no clear resolutions for their relationships. Man, the protagonists in these songs were \u201cgoing through it\u201d in the most beautiful and dramatic way. This song, to me, is a fine example of the \u201cAdult Cosmopolitan Woman Love Affair Song\u201d (as mainly written through the lenses of men of course, lol).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ohashi Junko has this creamy sorrowful voice in this song. She cleanly and strongly hits those notes and after dozens of cover videos on youtube, I have only heard one person who, in my opinion, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qA46K7EQacY\">rivals her vocal performance<\/a> (Original Love\u2019s Tajima Takao). I miss this level of vocalist in most of the contemporary music I listen to. Plus, she just looks like the kind of choosey woman who never falls because she knows people are no good, but when she does, she falls hard. From the first time I heard this song, I was in love\u2026. And so I write\u2026 Let us begin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Song Structure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>24 bar build up, 24\nbar chorus, 8 bar bridge<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intro &#8211; 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verse 1 &#8211; 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-Chorus 1 &#8211; 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chorus 1 \u2013 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridge 1 &#8211; 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verse  2 &#8211; 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-chorus 2 \u2013 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chorus 2 \u2013 24<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridge 2 &#8211; 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Outro &#8211; 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lyrical Analysis:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For this song, I had\na vague idea what it was about, but I had no idea it would be this\nsplendid. Aku Yuu painted a wonderfully vague impressionist painting\nand left so much for us to interpret ourselves. But if you heard any\nof his songs before, you are used to this level of finesse. I, of\ncourse (being an idol lover), ran into him with artists like Ishikawa\nSayuri, Iwasaki Hiromi, and of course Pink Lady. The song has a\nprotagonist that is hopelessly in love with her partner, but they\nbreak up. After the break up, her passion for her partner has not\ndiminished, but the loneliness of her life has frozen her outer\ncrust. But her inner core is a molten ball of liquid magma, that is\nfurther ignited after reading her partner\u2019s probable make up\nletter\u2026 The roller coaster of love. Universal human experiences\u2026\nthis is good stuff. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lyrics Translation<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verse 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now it is\nSummer, and your scent lingers next to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the middle of\nreliving a happy dream,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a shower\u2019s\nlighting bolt strikes&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Illuminating a\nsorrowful twilight sky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chorus<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The coffee cup\nslipped from my numb fingers. \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is smashing into\npieces on the ground.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>All the words I\ncould have said have already left me, \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>and now I am left\njust looking into your eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That little prank\nthat you called a decision seems like its breaking up our\nrelationship&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seems to be breaking\nup this love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verse 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Right now it is\nWinter, and you are no longer next to me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The powder snow\ngracefully dances down onto the cobblestone road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We are broken up,\nour love is shattered, \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet, the flame\nin my heart still remains<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chorus 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As I opened that\nletter with my frostbitten hands,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>every word on the\npage burned red hot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I am already\ndreaming, \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>about hanging off of\nyour frame again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>That little prank\nthat you called a decision seems like its breaking up our\nrelationship&#8230;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Seems to be breaking\nup this Love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Japanese<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verse 1<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u4eca\u306f\u590f\n\u305d\u3070\u306b\u3042\u306a\u305f\u306e\u5302\u3044 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3057\u3042\u308f\u305b\u306a\u5922\u306b\n\u304a\u307c\u308c\u3066\u3044\u305f\u3051\u308c\u3069 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u5915\u7acb\u3061\u304c\n\u767d\u3044\u7a32\u59bb\u3064\u308c\u3066 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u60b2\u3057\u307f\u8272\u306e\n\u65e5\u3050\u308c\u306b\u3057\u3066\u3044\u3063\u305f \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chorus<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3057\u3073\u308c\u305f\u6307\n\u3059\u3079\u308a\u843d\u3061\u305f \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u73c8\u7432\u30ab\u30c3\u30d7\n\u7815\u3051\u6563\u3063\u3066 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u79c1\u306f\u305f\u3060\n\u3042\u306a\u305f\u306e\u76ee\u3092 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u8a00\u8449\u3082\u306a\u304f\n\u898b\u3064\u3081\u308b\u3060\u3051 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3055\u3060\u3081\u3068\u3044\u3046\n\u3044\u305f\u305a\u3089\u306b \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3072\u304d\u3055\u304b\u308c\u305d\u3046\u306a\n\u3053\u306e\u611b \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verse 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u4eca\u306f\u51ac\n\u305d\u3070\u306b\u3042\u306a\u305f\u306f\u3044\u306a\u3044 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u77f3\u7573\u767d\u304f\n\u7c89\u96ea\u304c\u821e\u3044\u8e0a\u308b \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3072\u304d\u3055\u304b\u308c\n\u611b\u306f\u304b\u3051\u3089\u306b\u306a\u3063\u3066 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u305d\u308c\u3067\u3082\u80f8\u3067\n\u71b1\u3055\u3092\u306a\u304f\u3055\u306a\u3044 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chorus 2<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u51cd\u3048\u308b\u624b\u3067\n\u3072\u308d\u3052\u3066\u8aad\u3080 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u624b\u7d19\u306e\u6587\u5b57\u304c\n\u8d64\u304f\u71c3\u3048\u3066 \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u79c1\u306f\u3082\u3046\n\u3042\u306a\u305f\u306e\u80cc\u306b \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3082\u305f\u308c\u304b\u304b\u308b\n\u5922\u3092\u898b\u3066\u308b \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3055\u3060\u3081\u3068\u3044\u3046\n\u3044\u305f\u305a\u3089\u306b \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u3072\u304d\u3055\u304b\u308c\u305d\u3046\u306a \u3053\u306e\u611b<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Music is one of the closest things we have to a universal language. This song spoke to me from the ether to pull at my heart strings. No matter who you are, or where you are from, you can feel this protagonist\u2019s pain by the aural landscape painted by Tsutsumi Kyouhei. The first time I heard a Tsutsumi composition was Ishida Ayumi\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/pkQ9EJ7rk2E\">Blue Light Yokohama<\/a> (which was one of the first Kayou songs I ever heard, btw), and I also had some other contact with him through the 80\u2019s work he did with Idols. In this song he gives me a salad of sonic qualities that is a delight to consume. The salad is based around that minor key and drizzles on a sexy melodic bass, lightly grates some guitar here and there\u2026 puts Disney strings on the bread, and I get bites of smooth jazz sax to finish off the course. Master Chef territory. I am a self-confessed circle of fifth\u2019s slut (fifths slut). This song was developed with me in mind. 2-5-1 in the verses and 4 bars of the circle in the chorus? Please, may I have another one, Sir???<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Key: G minor  G A B-\nC D E- F (i \u2013 ii \u2013 III \u2013 iv \u2013 v \u2013 VI \u2013 VII) \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bass<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Intro &#8211;          i &#8211;\niv &#8211; i &#8211; V &#8211; i  &#8211; iv &#8211; ii \u2013 iii (G C G D G C A B) \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Verse &#8211;         ii \u2013\nV \u2013 i \u2013 i &#8211; ii \u2013 V \u2013 i \u2013 i  (A D G G A D G G) \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Pre-chorus &#8211; iv \u2013\nVII \u2013 III \u2013 i \u2013 iv \u2013 ii \u2013 V \u2013 i  (C F B- G C A D G)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Chorus &#8211;      iv \u2013\nVII \u2013 III \u2013 VI  &#8211; iv \u2013 V \u2013 i \u2013 i  (C F B- E- C D G G)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>                   \niv \u2013 VII \u2013 III \u2013 VI \u2013 ii \u2013 ii \u2013 V &#8211; V (C F B- E- A A D D)\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>                   \niv \u2013 VII \u2013 III \u2013 VI \u2013 ii \u2013 V \u2013 i \u2013 i  ( C F B- E- A D G\nG) \n<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridge 1 &#8211;    iv \u2013\nVII \u2013 III \u2013 VI \u2013 V \u2013 iv \u2013 i \u2013 i (C F B- E- D C G G)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Bridge 2 &#8211;    iv \u2013 VII \u2013 III \u2013 VI \u2013 ii \u2013 V \u2013 i \u2013 i  (C F B- E- A D G G)  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the best thing\nabout being a fanboy is the amount of times I derive joy from saying\nexactly the same thing over and over again with only minor changes,\nlol.
