Chemistry - Saigo no Kawa (Last River)















naze ni sora miageru no darou?
dokoka de tachidomaru tabi
dare ni mo hanasenai kanashimi wo
kokoro ga hanashikakeru

aruite kita nagai michi wo
koko kara furikaereba
boku ga omou yori mo
kagayaita hibi da to oshierareta

donna toki mo
boku no soba de
kimi ga tomo ni waratta
sugita toki ha
nanika ga tarinakute...
demo kidzuita no ha
"ai koso ga subete" sa

"shiawase datta?" nante
kikanaide kure
itoshiki hito
ude ni dakishimete
boku ga kikitai yo
kimi ga shiawase datta ka?
owaranai michi ha kitto nai
miokuru hito
namida fuite
senaka mitodokete...
boku ha hitorikiri
kono kawa wo ima wataru

boku ga inaku natta ato ha
tokidoki sora miagete

kimi no koto wo zutto
taiyou no chikaku de mimamotteru


sugata katachi
mienakutemo
kitto kimi ha kanjiru
me wo tojireba
natsukashii nukumori
sou kodoku wo tsutsumu
boku ha hizashi ni naru

dore dake aishiteta ka
omoidashite
daiji na hito
kimi wo nokosu koto
sore ga tsurakatta
mae he aruite hoshii
towa no ai ha kitto aru
wasurenaide
hitori ja nai
hanarebanare demo
kimi no sono mune ni
boku ha mada ikite iru

"shiawase datta?" nante
kikanaide kure
itoshiki hito
ude ni dakishimete
boku ga kikitai yo
kimi ga shiawase datta ka?
owaranai michi ha kitto nai
miokuru hito
namida fuite
senaka mitodokete...

kono kawa wo ima wataru

nanimo kui ha nai
umarete yokatta
kokoro kara arigatou




Why do I look up to the sky?
Every time I stop somewhere
My heart starts talking
About a sadness that no one understands

When I look back at
The long road I've come through
It has taught me that,
More than I thought, those were sparkling days

No matter when it was,
You were laughing along
Right by my side
Something was lacking
In the time that passed...
But what we noticed was that
"Love is already everything"

Don't ask me
If I was happy
My darling,
While you hold me in your arms,
I'm the one who wants to ask that
Were you happy?
Surely there's no endless road
The one who bids me goodbye
Wipe your tears
See me going with your own eyes...
Now I will cross
This river all by myself

After I'm gone
Sometimes, look up at the sky

I'll be close to the sun
always watching over you

Even if you can't see
My figure or my shape
When you close your eyes
You will feel for sure
my nostalgic warmth
Yes, wrapping up your loneliness,
I will become the rays of the sun

My precious one,
Remember of
how much I loved you
It was painful
For me to leave you behind
I want you to walk forward
There surely is eternal love
Don't forget it
You're not alone
Even if we're apart
I will still be alive
in your heart

Don't ask me
If I was happy
My darling,
While you hold me in your arms,
I'm the one who wants to ask that
Were you happy?
Surely there's no endless road
The one who bids me goodbye
Wipe your tears
See me going with your own eyes...
Now I will cross
This river all by myself

There's nothing I regret
I'm glad I was born
And I thank you from the heart

Dedicated to someone...I'm sure you know who you are.

I hope you find a happy life, even after all that's happened.

Gackt - Love Letter







Yasashii egao de boku ni hohoemu kimi ga
Ima mo kawarazu ni soba ni iru
Me wo tojireba hora ikutsumo no kisetsu ga
Bokura wo sotto tsutsumikonde yuku yo

Nagai tabiji no hate ni nani ga aru no ka
Dare mo wakaranai keredo
Fuan na yoru wa mou nido to otozurenai kara

Eien wo aruite yukeru
Korekara mo zutto futari de
Kono mune ni tsuyoku dakishimeta
Omoi wa kawaranai tatta hitotsu dake no
“Aishiteru”

Soyokaze ni nabiku chiisana hana no you na kimi ni
Hajimete deatta hi wa tooku
Mada osanasugite kizutsukeau hibi mo atta keredo
Ima de wa waraiaeru omoide

Chikaiau yakusoku wo wasurenaide
Dare yori mo taisetsu dakara
Egaita yume wo sukoshi zutsu kanaete yukou yo

Eien wo aruite yukeru
Kore kara mo zutto futari de
Kono mune ni tsuyoku dakishimeta
Omoi wa kawaranai tatta hitotsu dake no
“Aishiteru”

Eien wo aruite yukeru
Kore kara mo zutto futari de
Kono mune ni tsuyoku dakishimeta
Omoi wa kawaranai tatta hitotsu dake no
“Aishiteru”

“Aishiteru...”

Even now, you’re still by my side
Smiling at me with that sweet smile
When I close my eyes, see, a myriad of seasons
Quietly envelop me

Nobody knows what’s at the end
Of this long journey
But these uncertain nights will never come again

We can keep walking forever
Together, now and forever
This love I clutch close to my heart
Will never change, this one unique
“I love you”

The day I met you, like a little flower dancing in the wind
Is far away
There were days when we hurt each other because we were still too young
But now they’re memories we can laugh at together

Don’t forget this promise we’re making
Because you’re more important to me than anyone else
I want to make the dreams you told me about come true, little by little

We can keep walking forever
Together, now and forever
This love I clutch close to my heart
Will never change, this one unique
“I love you”

We can keep walking forever
Together, now and forever
This love I clutch close to my heart
Will never change, this one unique
“I love you”

“I love you...”

Z Gundam: ANT3's cover


I just adore this song. Gackt is a singer with powerful energy coming from all his songs...you can just feel it coming off every word.

I feel that this captures an emotion I had once before, but lost somewhere along the way. Sure wish I could find it again.

Bah, what am I saying...

A special thanks goes out to no3Ljm's Gundam Universe for the CD cover of 0079-0088.
