どうして? 目の前を閉ざして
doushite? me no mae wo tozashite
Why does it close up before my eyes?

どうする? 暗い部屋にひとり
dousuru? kurai heya ni hitori
What shall I do being alone in a dark room?

手を伸ばし 掴もうとしたのは 隠したSOS
te wo nobashi tsukamou to shita no wa kakushita SOS
What I wanted to grab as I reached out my hands, is actually a hidden SOS

四六時中 頭を巡る 狂わせてる歯車 Lose control
shirokujichuu atama wo meguru kuruwaseteru haguruma Lose control
With the hysterical gearwheel in my head spinning 24-7, I’m losing control

鳴り響く時計の針を 止めてよ 止めてよ
narihibiku tokei no hari wo tomete yo tomete yo
The hands of the ever-resounding clock, stop them, just stop them

Hello. Long time no Arashi :-)

It's been some time since I last covered an Arashi song, actually I don't really listen to their songs anymore^^; But yesterday, "Donna Kotoba de" came up by shuffle (instead of the play-by-file which I usually do) and I remembered how much I used to love this song. I mixed the music a little here and there, my version is just very short, but it still took me one whole afternoon to finish (perhaps I’ve lost touch^^;). I hope you like it.

It really brings back memories, and I notice I smiled the whole way recording this. This is a fun song, it was fun recording, the different backup vocal parts were interesting too.

Long time no see. Dropping by to say hi.

Decided not to waste this gift which came all the way from Japan^^

Miss you guys loads. Do update me on how you’ve been doing! :-)

Fumina-san approached me on youtube 3 months ago asking if I could compose music for her written lyrics, I said I could try so I chose this one among the many other lyrics she had written as I was inspired by how she described the emotions of a child who believes that her late mother had turned into a star in the skies. I recorded the first draft 2 days after, then I got lazy LOL After such a long time, I finally recorded the whole song on Tuesday. It is a very heart-warming song, I don’t know if my music was able to convey the right emotion but I sure hope it does, I’ve translated the lyrics for reference.

As some of you may know, I am an extremist, in many ways. It's either I hate something a lot, or I'm obsessed with it. It's either I'm very good as something, or I'm super lousy at it. No such thing as neutral, no such thing as half-half.

Trying to clear off the requests I promised to do before I go.

ずっとずっと 絡み合ってて解けない
zutto zutto karami attete hodokenai
Always and forever, we’ve been entangled together and never able to break free

長い長い なんて窮屈な深呼吸
nagai nagai nante kyuukutsu na shinkokyuu
It’s so long, so long, this deep breath which is boringly typical

まねして見たって 夢中になれそうにない
maneshite mitatte muchuu ni naresou ni nai
Even if I observe and imitate, I just couldn’t seem to get hyped over it

いっそ全部 脱ぎ捨てちゃえば楽じゃない
isso zenbu nugisutechaeba raku ja nai
So why not, let it all go and perhaps you can be relieved?

Been a while since I last recorded something. I did this yesterday, though not by Arashi, it is a beautiful song. My friend Shaun played the piano for me while I did the harmonizing too. May you be blessed by this song :-)

Would love to hear from you on how you feel about this too ^^

made these for now~
