ltgmarsI'm not going to try to translate because English can't begin to capture how beautiful the Japanese is [insert Inez's usual gushing about Japanese here], but.
I realized in the middle of the night that Kanjani8's "Michishirube" gets me crying, without fail, in 20 seconds with this line:
サヨナラは言わないで 歩いて行くよ
また会えるその日まで 忘れはしないよ
sayonara wa iwanaide, aruite yuku yo
mata aeru sono hi made, wasure wa shinai yo
And then I realized that it has some keywords that match the line in Arashi's "Step and Go" that gets me crying, without fail, in 15 seconds (quicker only because it's a more kinetic song):
今僕ら乗せて時間（とき）を越える奇跡
いつまでもこの日を忘れはしないよ
ima bokura nosete toki wo koeru kiseki
itsumademo kono hi wo wasure wa shinai yo
Specifically, they share references to some specific day, and the phrase "wasure wa shinai yo" (that construction always gets me -- the noun + "wa" + some form of "suru", instead of just the conjugation of the verb; I mean, seriously, think about how much more weight that has -- a simple "wasurenai yo" vs. "wasure wa shinai yo" [more gushing about Japanese; blah blah blah no one cares, Inez]). Though I guess the specific days are different, and what they "won't forget" is also different.
Still, both are terribly beautiful. They get me crying every time (well, every time I'm actively listening to the lyrics). I can listen to them 100 times in a row, and I'll still tear up. (I'll note that the particular version of the line in "Michishirube" I like is the Ryo/Yasu version, because I like that thing they do a lot where they cut out most of the instruments after the bridge and then bring them back in; also, Ryo's voice is like butter slathered all over my body and then set on fire in all the best ways (uuuggghhh, guess who should be sleeping right now... this guy), and I'm pretty sure he knows it.)
So? Y'all have specific songs/lines in songs you always cry at?

Date: 2010-10-17 22:00 (UTC)perhaps kazu will be going to london to promote his new film?
and perhaps martin is an exceptionally cultured guy (he is).
. . .
martin is not a rice queen.
P.S. i has a problem with this letter to a professor i am supposed to be contacting. it's awkward and too long that's what she said. helps? i won't throw up on you if you help me D: ♥
P.P.S. let's watch the british office when i see you! :D i know how much you like the american one (which sucks), so. i actually have the DVD set, and have had it since . . . high school. but i suppose my visual-kei obsessed teenage self took no notice of little chubby martin*.
(single tear for all the wasted years)
* he's lost so much weight since then! and his hair is always such a lovely shade of artifically highlighted blonde now.
HE HAS GOTTEN BETTER.RAGE BOULDER

Send the e-mail draft whenever, I guess.

Date: 2010-10-20 05:43 (UTC)Those songs, though, would be:
Grace- by Bluestack. Simply put, this song is about Joseph Mary Plunkett's marriage and execution (which happened within hours of one another).
Illusion- by VNV Nation. Many of this band's songs ('Beloved' and 'Forsaken' come to mind) can bring me close to tears at different times, but this one always does it within the first minute.
Victoria- by Abney Park. The simple thought of this song brings tears to my eyes.
