Learning Japanese through the song 加治ひとみ - Kaji HitomiLearning Japanese through timeless songs is always an enjoyable choice. We not only enjoy great melodies but also experience meaningful lyrics through emotive voices. Learning Japanese through songs combines entertainment and relaxation with language learning. It's really wonderful.
However, there are many music genres suitable for different levels. If you are new to learning Japanese, you should choose songs with slow melodies and easy-to-understand lyrics. This will help you listen easier and improve your pronunciation.
If you are at a higher level and want to further develop your listening skills, you can choose more challenging songs with faster tempos. When learning Japanese through fast-paced songs, make sure to listen carefully.
Continuing the series on learning Japanese through songs, today Mytour invites you to learn Japanese through the song 加治ひとみ. Let's listen together.
Romaji Lyrics:
Tears mix with rain, distorting the scenery
Suddenly remembering the taxi window
‘Today I can't go home‘, his words
I begin to lose sight of the meaning of happiness
In this spacious room from the beginning
There was never a place to belong, huh?
Oh, even though I pretend to notice now
I can't turn back anymore, inside the bird cage
I've misunderstood how to love
Wanting to return to a slightly stronger self
Not you, but someone else...
Real rule violation
Wanting to confirm
Wanting to feel more
Lost again
The mirror of on-trance reflects the other side
Deciding not to use, gripping the key
The light from the corridor enters the darkened room
Closing my eyes on an anxious night
Gathering uncertain things
Like drifting sand escaping from this hand
Hey, I really want to protect precious things
I want strength that can protect through
Although I want to see the same dream
I am here as if left behind
Not just you, but someone else
True rule violation
With straight eyes
Someday, everything ambiguous
If abandoned
To the extent that loneliness can bear
Unable to become an adult
To the extent that I cling to you
Unable to even become a child
However, this love in front of my eyes
I just want to believe that
Changed the way I love
Wanting to return to a slightly stronger self
You're not someone I could ever...
true rule violation
want to make sure
want to feel more
lost again
