Lyrics

Japanese

※抱きしめられたなら　泣いてしまうでしょう
  声には出せない　素直な気持ちのまま
  爪の先から　髪の先まで
  すべてあなたにあげてもかまわない

見つめてる　どんな小さなことでもいい
知りたい・・・　気持ちが募るよ
「気付いて！こっちを向いてよ！」
ねぇ、声上げて泣いてみても 変わらない
距離は いつも 平行線のまま
悲しくなるの・・・  「お願い！こっちを向いてよ！」

※Repeat

ねぇ、あたしに気付いて　お願い！ せめてこっちを向いてよ

※Repeat

Romaji

※ dakishimerareta nara naiteshimau deshou
  koe ni wa dasenai sunaona kimochi no mama
  tsume no saki kara kami no saki made
  subete anata ni agete mo kamawanai

mitsumeteru donna chiisana koto demo ii
shiritai... kimochi ga tsunoru yo
"kizuite! kocchi wo muiteyo!"
nee, koe agete naite mitemo kawaranai
kyori wa itsumo heikousen no mama
kanashikunaru no... "onegai! kocchi wo muiteyo!"

※Repeat

nee, atashi ni kizuite onegai! semete kocchi wo muiteyo

※Repeat

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

There are CDs with singers and artists included, and although there's occasionally vocalists featured among them who suit my image, when I casually listened to a CD around spring, I ended up really loving one of the vocalist's voice and lyrics in them, and I wanted this person to sing what I composed.

I immediately completed the rough arrangement and requested to negotiate with her, and although she was already currently active as a major artist, she somehow had a special schedule available, so I was able to ask her.

When I went to the meeting, it was somehow vivi, who participated in Keiichi Ueno's produced bad boy from IIDX 2nd style. As some of you might know, 2nd style was actually created 2 months after substream's production ended, and I entrusted everything to Ueno since I was busy, so I didn't actually meet her back then. The world is really small, shall I say....

When I actually met her, she was a friendly person with an artist atmosphere, and we were able to mutually communicate very smoothly during the recording. Truly, special thanks to everyone involved.

I also really love this song's lyrics. They convey the sadness of love in a woman's heart, right?

By the way, vivi is currently active as a vocalist in the unit, iyiyim. They also seem to have a homepage.

Video Production Information

GOLI

I personally think Japanese lyrics have quite a fixed image, and it's difficult to make as a movie. (There are various rules for them. A wide variety....)
For that reason, I completed it as a 16-color animation, which doesn't take much time as a movie. It was very difficult. There weren't many colors appearing as I thought. I tried various things....

Or rather, honestly speaking, I wondered if it was really OK, and apparently, it's OK! I was conflicted. This is a controversial video born from my confused mind. Indecision leads to indecision, and I eventually ran out of time.... well, I might quite like this. I haven't usually drawn a pose like this, and I learned something. Yeah.

I think dj TAKA also put quite some thought into creating this song. He did retakes for it. dj TAKA is unexpectedly a lovely person who doesn't compromise until the end.
