i was watching the Bleach movie released some time ago.
it's called Bleach: Memories of Nobody
i like the bleach series, so for me, this was great. haha. i love fan-subs.

anyway, the thing i wanted to say was that i found the ending theme song very inspirational. i dunno, but something in the lyrics felt dear to me. so i thought i'd share it with everyone. as i type, i'm uploading the song unto imeem which i hope i can play on the blog.

i guess many people can associate with the song, but very few will know it.

here goes.

"Sen no Yoru wo Koete" by Aqua Timez

愛されたい　でも　愛そうとしない
その繰り返しのなかを彷徨って
僕が見つけた答えは一つ　怖くたって　傷ついたって
好きな人には好きって伝えるんだ

あなたが僕を愛してるか　愛してないか
なんてことは　もうどっちでもいいんだ
どんなに願い望もうが
この世界には変えられぬもんが　沢山あるだろう
そう　そして僕があなたを　愛してるという事実だけは
誰にも変えられぬ真実だから

千の夜をこえて　あなたに伝えたい
伝えなきゃならないことがある
愛されたい　でも　愛そうとしない
その繰り返しのなかを彷徨って
僕が見つけた答えは一つ　怖くたって
傷ついたって　好きな人には好きって伝えるんだ
気持ちを言葉にするのは怖いよ
でも　好きな人には好きって伝えるんだ

この広い世界で　巡り会う喜びを言葉じゃ言い表せないね
だから僕達は微笑み　色鮮やかに過ぎる秋をドレミで唄って
冬を背に　春の木漏れ日を待ち
新しく生まれ変わる　誰かを守るようにと

来た道と行き先　振り返ればいつでも　臆病な目をしていた僕
向き合いたい　でも　素直になれない
まっすぐに相手を愛せない日々を
繰り返しては　ひとりぼっちを嫌がったあの日の僕は
無傷のままで人を愛そうとしていたい

千の夜をこえて　今あなたに会いに行こう
伝えなきゃならないことがある
愛されたい　でも　愛そうとしない
その繰り返しのなかを彷徨って
僕が見つけた答えは一つ　怖くたって
傷ついたって　好きな人には好きって伝えるんだ
その思いが叶わなくたって　好きな人に好きって伝える
それはこの世界で一番素敵なことさ

haha. of course i included translations. except for those 'special' people who take japanese lessons at university, they would already be able to figure it out. LoL. kidding. =)

"I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I’m scared, even if I’m hurt
I can say “I love you” to the person who I love..

Do you love me? Do you not love me?
As for things like that, it’s already fine either way
No matter how I wish
There are many unchangeable things in this world, right?
That’s right, and because only the fact of my loving you
Is the truth unchangeable by anyone.

I want to overcome the thousands of nights and tell it to you
There is something that I must tell you
I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I’m scared
Even if I’m hurt, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love..
It’s scary to turn my feelings into words
But I can say “I love you” to the person who I love..

In this broad world, I can’t express the joy of encountering you with words
So we smile, sing about the vividly passing autumn in do-re-mi
Turn our backs on winter, wait for the sunlight streaming through trees in spring
And become reborn anew, so that we can protect someone...

On the path we came from and our destination,
when we looked back,
I’d always have timid eyes
I want to face you, but I can’t be honest
I, who repeated days of not being able to straightforwardly love my partner
And hated being alone on that day
Seemed to love people while unwounded.

I’ll overcome the thousands of nights and go meet you now
There is something that I must tell you
I want to be loved, but you don’t seem to love me.
I wander within that repetition
I found one answer; that even if I’m scared
Even if I’m hurt, I can say “I love you” to the person who I love
Even if those thoughts aren’t fulfilled,
I can say “I love you” to the person who I love.
It’s the most wonderful thing in this world."

i love you. something i probably will never find the courage to say.
