New Japanese music!

Just gor home after my first day at Johnson & Johnson! I had a very nice day.. working 2 days more this week!
Anyway today I got some new music, first up is ex KAT-TUN member 赤西仁 and his first single Test Drive. Actually I used to like Akanishi when he was a Johnny's jr, and as most people I was surprised when he announced he's leave KAT-TUN, and after not knowing what he's really been up to for quite some time he finally releases a song. A in my opinion so-so song!
It sounds like a mature Justin Bieber or another Erik Saade (Swedish singer). The lyrics is too simple and boring for me. But I think many will remember it quite fast. However I think he can do better! It kinda feels like BoA's first US single - Eat you up.. the lyrics are kinda weird and feel a bit B!!



Then I also got 西野カナ's new single たとえ どんなに…, compare to her last song I like this one. I think of all her songs this is the 2nd best!!
The lyrics are "sweet" and I really like the melody. so today I'd like to share this wonderful song with you! (^0^)





Lyrics
今日は少し嫌なことがあって
誰に話してもなんか切なくて
ねぇ もしも君だったら
優しく聞いてくれたかな

いつもの帰り道なのに
どうしてこんなに遠く感じるの?
ねぇ もしも君がいたら
一瞬で着いてしまったかな

どんなにケンカでも“ゴメン”て言えたら
今でも笑っていてくれたのかな?
君の優しさに甘えすぎてたの
もしあの時素直になれたら...

たとえ どんなにどんなに強く
願ったってもう戻れないけど
遠い君を 見えない君を
想い続けて
君からもらった幸せはずっと
心の中で輝くの
忘れないよ
いつかこの声が
きっと届くと信じて

君が教えてくれた歌を
今でも不意に聴きたくなるの
君を少しでも近くに
感じていられる気がして

どんな不安でも我慢していたら
今でも側にいてくれたのかな?
あんなワガママ言わなきゃ良かった
もしあの日の言葉を消せたら...

たとえ どんなにどんなに強く
願ったってもう戻れないけど
遠い君を 見えない君を
想い続けて
君からもらった幸せはずっと
心の中で輝くの
忘れないよ
いつかこの声が
きっと届くと信じて

どうして自分に素直な恋じゃダメなの?
なぜ心は 想えば想うほど離れてくの?

たとえ どんなにどんなに強く
願ったってもう戻れないけど
遠い君を 見えない君を
想い続けて
君からもらった幸せはずっと
心の中で輝くの
忘れないよ
いつかこの声が
きっと届くと信じて

Today was a bad day
I feel sad no matter who I talk to
Hey, I wonder if you
Would’ve gently listened to me?

I take my usual way back home
But why does it feel so far?
Hey, if you were here with me
Would I have arrived in a second?

If I had been able to say “I’m sorry” after every fight
Would you still be smiling at me?
I abused your kindness
If only I had been honest back then...

No matter how strongly I wish
You won’t come back
You’re far away and I can no longer see you
But I continue to love you
The happiness you gave me
Will forever shine in my heart
I won’t forget you
I believe my voice will
Reach you someday

I still suddenly feel like listening
To that song you told me about
It makes me feel as if you’re
Close to me, if only for a little

If I had swallowed all my anxieties
Would you still be by my side?
I shouldn't have been so selfish
If only I could erase the words I said back then...

No matter how strongly I wish
You won’t come back
You’re far away and I can no longer see you
But I continue to love you
The happiness you gave me
Will forever shine in my heart
I won’t forget you
I believe my voice will
Reach you someday

Why can’t I love honestly?
Why does my heart move further away the more I love you?

No matter how strongly I wish
You won’t come back
You’re far away and I can no longer see you
But I continue to love you
The happiness you gave me
Will forever shine in my heart
I won’t forget you
I believe my voice will
Reach you someday
