Recently, I came across Namida, Hitohira while previewing Kinki Kids’ Phi (Φ) album. Compared to the boys norm, the melody is quite upbeat, somehow it reminds me of Cantopop of the 1990s. Its catchy tune and smooth vocals of the Domoto duo, make it very enjoyable, as well as, addictive. The song has quickly become a favorite of mine.
By the way, this is the themesong to the comedy series, Sushi Oji, which had starred Koichi-kun a few years back. I have not gotten a chance to watch it though, but I heard it was pure crack.
Here are the lyrics In Romaji and English:
Naida, Hitohira(涙、ひとひら) – Tears, One Drop
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure feelings
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure eyes
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure feelings
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure eyes
At time goes by sou bokura wo michibiku ano saachiraito
Sametaku nai kono mama hikari no hou e
Jikan ga tada tsuzuku youni jinsei mo tsuzuiteku
Mihatenu ashita no saki e
As time goes by, that searchlight that guides us
I don’t want to wake up, but go further towards the light
Time just seems to go on, as do our lives
Towards the future we can’t see the end of
Akenai yami ni odoe hokori wo nakushi kakutemo
Kizu no kazu dake tsuyoku nareru kono yoru kara
Threatened by the endless darkness, having lost our pride
We’ll become stronger by the amount of scars from tonight
Namida, hitohira mou ichido dakishimete kaeranai yume wo
Naimda, hitohira kanashimi wo koboshite yogorenai (kega) hitomi de
Daremo ga shinjite chikau yo mukuna mama no My heart
Tears, one drop, hug the dreams that won’t be sent back again
Tears, one drop, with the wounds that aren’t dirty and let sadness spill over
I swear no one believes, my heart is still pure
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure feelings
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure eyes
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure feelings
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure eyes
We can go now Sou dareka ga akirameta yume tachi
Atsumetara mou ichido katachi ni shite
Yokan ga tada suru mama ni kono michi wo aruiteku
Jibun to no yakusoku de
We can go now, everyone gives up on some dreams
When I gather them up, they’ll take shape again
I’m walking down this path with just a premonition
And a promise I made to myself
Atsui kumo wo uchinuku negai no ya ga nakutemo
Ano hi miageta sora wa ima mo yakitsuiteru
Even without an arrow of desire that pierces through the thick clouds,
The sky I saw that day is still burning right now
Namida, hitohira yokaze ni maiagare sugi yuku kisetsu yo
Namida, hitohira dareka wo mamoru tame sore demo ikiru yo
Daishi ni ashiato kizande
Tears, one drop, the seasons pass by, dancing in the night breeze
Tears, one drop, I will live, if just to care for someone else
Etching my footsteps on this earth
Kokoro no oku ni hitotsubu nokoru daiya no you ni
Iro asenu mama honoka ni hikaru kibou no kakera
Deep in my heart, one drop remains like a diamond
The fragments of hope that shine very faintly
Namida, hitohira mou ichido dakishimete kaeranai yume wo
Naimda, hitohira kanashimi wo koboshite yogorenai (kega) hitomi de
Daremo ga shinjite chikau yo mukuna mama no My heart
Tears, one drop, hug the dreams that won’t be sent back again
Tears, one drop, with the wounds that aren’t dirty and let sadness spill over
I swear no one believes, my heart is still pure
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure feelings
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure eyes
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure feelings
Just get up, Just get up. Just get up, Don’t give up. Believe you
Without losing pure eyes
