Romaji
Ai shite ai sare yume wo miru
Meguru kisetsu wo irodoru hana no you ni...
Ai shite ai sare kimi wo shiru
Futari dake ni mieru kizuna
Kyou mo soba de mamotteru
Ai to wa kitto motometari
Ataeru mono dewa nakute
Kokoro no oku de sotto sodatete yuku mono
Itoshisa no mukougawa
Kodoku ga itsumo machiukeru
Aitakute aenai yoru
Tokimeki no kawa o oyoide
Ai shite ai sare hitotsu ni naru
Kimi o dakishime fukai umi e to...
Nagare nagasarete tadoritsuku
Owaru koto no nai eien
Kyou mo kimi to sagashiteru
Koibitotachi wa, surechigai wakare wo tsugeru toki
Omoide no hoka ni nani ga ittai nokoru n darou?
Kimi dake no itami nara
Tatoe donna ni kurushikutemo
Uketomerareru kara
Sono te wo watashi ni nobashite
Ai shite ai sare hoshi ni naru
Tooi kanata de kimi e to kagayaite...
Ai shite ai sare tashikameau
Futari dake wo musubu kizuna
Kyou mo soba ni kanjiteru
Ai shite ai sare yume wo miru
Meguru kisetsu wo irodoru hana no you ni...
Ai shite ai sare kimi wo shiru
Futari dake ni mieru kizuna

Ai shite ai sare hitotsu ni naru
Kimi o dakishime fukai umi e to...
Nagare nagasarete tadoritsuku

Translation
I love and am loved and dream
The passing seasons are like colourful flowers...
I love and am loved and know you
Today, once again, I am by your side
Protecting a bond only we can see
Love surely isn’t something
That you ask for and get
It’s something that you nurture with care deep in your heart
On the other side of affection
Loneliness is always waiting
On nights when I can’t see you and miss you
I swim in a river of longing
I love and am loved and the two of us become one
I hold you and sink into a deep ocean...
I float and am swept along and eventually get there
Today, once again, I’m searching with you
For an eternity that will never end
When lovers grow apart and say goodbye
What on earth do they have left, other than memories?
If you’re suffering alone
No matter how painful it is
I can take it
So reach out to me
I love and am loved and become a star
Shining out to you, all the way in the distance...
I love and am loved and make sure
Today, once again, I am by your side
Feeling a bond that joins only us
I love and am loved and dream
The passing seasons are like colourful flowers...
I love and am loved and know you
Today, once again, I am by your side
Protecting a bond only we can see
I love and am loved and the two of us become one
I hold you and sink into a deep ocean...
I float and am swept along and eventually get there
Today, once again, I’m searching with you
For an eternity that will never end
Re: Japan | WV 07 | Aya Ueto - Kizuna | Support Us in 2nd SF !!
Hey neko - congrats on a wonderful entry! This song has always reminded me a little of "M" by ayumi hamasaki (which is my all-time favourite song of hers) so I was so happy to hear it represented in WV. I have my fingers crossed for you!
I know there is a suggestion thread, but I wanted to post some links for you here in case you hadn't come across these songs before - they are some of my personal favourites...
Yuki Kimura - unbalance
Hiroko Hasahara - Stand The Night
Fujii Takahashi - Oh My Juliet!
Melon Kinenbi - Kawaii Kare (I have no idea if you'd ever consider any Hello! Project stuff, but this has always been a favourite!)
