i like musics. songs particularly.
i always dreamed of being able to play musical instruments like guitar or piano, but so far i don't think i'm all fated to be able to play any of those. i'm just hopeless...
anyway, i'm content to just enjoying the music for now. good songs rarely come by, but when it does, it stays on rotating playlist inside my brain. which means, if you ever caught me while i'm driving, or walking in a lone path or taking elevator with no other people around, chances are i'm gonna be humming the tune :)
like the recent song i'm hooked with. it's by utada hikaru, one of the prominent figure in japanese j-pop world. a note about her, i seriously thought she had run her course few years back but apparently she's still going on strong, even more after her divorce.
hmm.. previously amuro namie, now utada hikaru. women do tend to do better when they are not married, don't they?
ok the song is called 'the flavor of life'. i like how utada plays with her soft upper notes in this one, and the lyrics! i don't know why, but when i sing it, i got goosebump. seriously! i got chills on my back. the lyrics are very ermm... innocent and frank. when she sings it, i believe her words after words. plus, where else could you find a song with "aoi fruits" in it? :)
here is the video that i got in youtube with the english translation. for japanese speakers, the japanese lyrics are below.
enjoy!

Flavor Of Life
ありがとうと君に言われると
なんだか切ない
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
The flavor of life...... The flavor of life......
友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
収穫の時を夢見てる青いフルーツ
あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで
じれったいの何のってBaby
ありがとうと君に言われると
なんだか切ない
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
The flavor of life...... The flavor of life......
甘いだけの誘い文句
味気のないTalk
そんなものには興味をそそられない
思い通りにいかない時だって
人生捨てたもんじゃないって
「どうしたの？」と
急に聞かれると
「ううん、何でもない」
さようならの後に消える笑顔
私らしくない
信じたいと願えば願うほど
なんだか切ない
「愛してるよ」よりも「大好き」の方が
君らしいんじゃない
The flavor of life…
忘れかけてた人の香りを
突然思い出す頃
降り積もる雪の白さをもっと
素直に喜びたいよ
ダイヤモンドより軟らかくて
温かな未来
手にしたいよ限りある時間を
君と過ごしたい
ありがとうと君に言われると
なんだか切ない
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
淡くほろ苦い
The flavor of life......The flavor of life...
