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
全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で 悲しくなるの…
「お願い!こっちを向いてよ!」

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
全てあなたにあげても かまわない

ねぇ、あたしに気付いて お願い
せめて こっちを向いてよ…

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

I occasionally listen to a CD that features many artists and vocalists. I have sometimes featured vocalists on that CD who I have grown to particularly like. Unintentionally, I listened to that same CD in the early spring. I then heard someone whose voice caught my attention. I knew right away I wanted this person to sing what I composed. I thought having this person as a vocalist was a very good idea.

Without delay, arrangements were underway. As a result of discussing my wish to have this person as a vocalist for this song, I learned that this person was already doing work with major artists. But somehow, a special schedule was made, and my wish could be fulfilled. After I went to the preparatory meeting, it turned out to be vivi, who Keiichi Ueno worked with to produce “Bad Boy” from IIDX 2nd Style. This may not be someone who you know, but since 2nd Style released two months after the release of Substream, we left everything up to Ueno. For that time, we actually couldn’t even meet you. The world is really, how would you say, small.

In reality we tried to meet you, and you seeming to be a good-natured person made recording very smooth, and the matter of the agreements were able to be done. Seriously, the participation of everyone involved made a very special sound.

I'm very pleased with this song's lyrics. The pain of love in a woman's heart were communicated very well, don't you think?

By the way, Ms. vivi is now involved in the group iyiyim as a vocalist. Go check out their website!
