Dearest

Dearest è una delle più belle canzoni giapponesi che abbia mai ascoltato; appartiene alla OST di InuYasha e ricorre nell'episodio "La canzone triste del Destino" sulla tragica storia d'amore di Kikyo e InuYasha...con questa canzone Ayumi Hamasaki è diventata la mia cantante giapponese preferita (a pari merito con la grandissima Mika Nakashima!)

Hontou ni taisetsu na mono igai subete sutete
shimaetara ii no ni ne
genjitsu wa tada zankoku de

It would be nice if we could put away and throw out
everything except what really mattered,
but reality is just cruel.

Sonna toki itsu datte
me o tojireba
waratteru kimi ga iru



In such times,

I see you laughing
whenever I close my eyes.

Ah...itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made
douka sono egao ga
taema naku aru you ni..


Until the day I reach eternal sleep,
that smiling face
will have to stay with me without fail...


Hito wa minna kanashii kara
wasurete yuku ikimono dakedo
aisubeki mono no tame

ai o kureru mono no tame dekiru koto

People are all sad, so
they go and forget, but
For that which I should love,
For that which gives me love, I will do what I can.

Ah...deatta ano koro wa
subete ga bukiyou de
toomawari shita yo ne
kizutsuke atta yo ne

Back then, when we met,
it was all awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we?
We got hurt, didn't we?

Ah...itsuka eien no nemuri ni tsuku hi made
dou ka sono egao ga
taema naku aru you ni

Until the day I reach eternal sleep,
that smiling face
will have to stay with me without fail.

Ah...deatta ano koro wa
subete ga bukiyou de
toomawari shita yo ne
tadoritsuitan da ne

Back then, when we met,
it was all awkward.
We went the long way, didn't we?
We got there in the end...
