Song by Stefanie Sun
Lyrics:
聽見冬天的離開我在某年某月醒過來
我想我等我期待未來卻不能因此安排
陰天傍晚車窗外未來有一個人在等待
向左向右向前看愛要拐幾個彎才來
我遇見誰會有怎樣的對白
我等的人他在多遠的未來
我聽見風來自地鐵和人海
我排著隊拿著愛的號碼牌
我往前飛飛過一片時間海
我們也曾在愛情裏受傷害
我看著路夢的入口有點窄
我遇見你是最美麗的意外
總有一天我的謎底會解開
I hear the winter leaving.
I wake up in some year, some month.
I think, I wait, I look forward to,
But that’s not how the future is arranged.
Cloudy sky, an evening, outside the car window.
There is a person waiting in the future.
To the left, to the right, to the front I look.
How many corners must love turns before it arrives?
Who will I meet, what are we going to say?
The person I’m waiting for, how far away is he in the future?
I hear the wind blowing from the subway and the crowd.
I’m standing in line, holding a number plate for love.
Cloudy sky, an evening, outside the car window.
There is a person waiting in the future.
To the left, to the right, to the front I look.
How many corners must love turns before it arrives?
Who will I meet, what are we going to say?
The person I’m waiting for, how far away is he in the future?
I hear the wind blowing from the subway and the crowd.
I’m standing in line, holding a number plate for love.
I keep flying and flew across a sea of time.
We both had been injured in love.
I’m watching the road, the entrance to the dream is a bit narrow.
Meeting you is the most beautiful accident.
One day, my riddle will unravel.
First Piano and Vocal Attempt
Posted in Hobbies, piano, Relationship, Song Lyric, tagged family project, Frank Sinatra, piano, violin, vocal on December 23, 2025| 1 Comment »
I’ve wanted to play piano and sing at the same time. This year I finally gave it a shot with one of my favourite Frank Sinatra songs that has a relatively simple accompaniment. I also teamed up with my boys to make it less daunting. I think it’s a good start, and I hope to tackle a solo performance in the future.
My Way Lyrics:
And now, the end is near
And so I face the final curtain
My friend, I’ll say it clear
I’ll state my case, of which I’m certain
I’ve lived a life that’s full
I traveled each and every highway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Regrets, I’ve had a few
But then again, too few to mention
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption
I planned each charted course
Each careful step along the byway
And more, much more than this
I did it my way
Yes, there were times, I’m sure you knew
When I bit off more than I could chew
But through it all, when there was doubt
I ate it up and spit it out
I faced it all, and I stood tall
And did it my way
I’ve loved, I’ve laughed and cried
I’ve had my fill, my share of losing
And now, as tears subside
I find it all so amusing
To think I did all that
And may I say, not in a shy way
Oh, no, oh, no, not me
I did it my way
For what is a man, what has he got?
If not himself, then he has naught
To say the things he truly feels
And not the words of one who kneels
The record shows I took the blows
And did it my way
Yes, it was my way
Piano: Shade of Love from Blue Box

“Look at me. See me as more than a friend. Whether it’s tomorrow, next week, or next month, I’ll always be waiting” — Hina’s thought
Song with lyrics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7y5Hx0y0S9A
Taiki: I can’t be with you
Hina: No. I told you I didn’t need an answer right now. You don’t need to rush it. It’s not like you’re gonna start dating Chinatsu Senpai, right?
Taiki: No, but…
Hina: Then you don’t need to give me your answer yet. I won’t complain, no matter how long it takes. if you reject me now, you might regret it later when you realise you’re in love with me.
Taiki: Maybe so, but I don’t think this dynamic we have now is a good one. You say it’s okay for me to take my shot with Chinatus Senpai. But with the way things are now, I can’t pursue my feelings honestly. Even though I like Chinatus Senpai, I feel ashamed of myself for still being drawn to you. And I think my indecisiveness is only hurting you. So let me just make things clear. We should both just–
Hina: I said it’s fine! I know you liked someone else when I told you how I felt. Even if you like her, I still love you!
Taiki: That’s not a natural way to be.
Hina. It’s natural! It’ll all make sense once I can get you to look at me!
Taiki: I told you I can’t reciprocate your feelings.
Hina: Why not? You have way more memories with me. Is it because we don’t live together? Then we could start now. I don’t know how Chinatus Senpai feels about you, but I —
Taiki: Even so. It won’t change who I like.
Lyrics: No Promises to Keep from Final Fantasy VII Rebirth
Posted in Games, Song Lyric, tagged Aerith, Final Fantasy VII, No Promises to Keep, Nobuo Uemasu on July 2, 2024| Leave a Comment »
No Promises to Give
Walking city streets with worn cobblestones
Listening to people rushing past to rhythms all their own
Life passing me by, not thinking how the years have flown
Until I met you
I won’t say that it was fate
I won’t say that it was destiny
But if not, what could it be that drew you towards me?
Could it be chance?
Till the day that we meet again
Where or when?
I wish I could say
But believe—know that you’ll find me
Promises to keep, we won’t ever need
If only I’d never known
All the burdens I was born to bear
Lived a life without a care in the world safe for you…
But that won’t do
Till the day that we meet again
On our street, I want to believe
In the chance that we’ll share a glance
Promises to keep, we won’t ever need

Lyric: Anytime Anywhere (English translation by Mewsic)
And you’re alright?
Can you hear me?
I’m tracing these railroad tracks we walked, now desolate and old
I wish I could see you laugh or even to see you cry
I’m holding on to memories that pierce my heart inside
I want to convey all of these feelings with more that just a simple farewell
But even if it’s plain, or if it’s a special day
Hold on, can someone tell me why my eyes are suddenly overflowing with all the things that I couldn’t see?
And if I had the choice to be reborn one more time
I know I’d choose this place, oh I know I’d want to live this life
And if I met you again, oh I would never let you go
I guess I’ve made my choice today, I’ll walk down this road
Even if I can’t promise a thing
Oh, even if I’m lonely and lost
Even if I can’t dry my eyes
I know that tomorrow will come
And I’m alright (I’ll be alright)
Yeah I hear you (I care about you)
The wind keeps on playing with my hair as I walk down this path
But nothing is meaningless
Even days that I felt hopeless
I finally realized as I caught up to you on this long road
Hold on, can someone tell me why my eyes are suddenly overflowing with all the things that I couldn’t see?
And if I had the choice to be reborn one more time
I know I’d choose this place, oh I know I’d want to live this life
And if I met you again, oh I would never let you go
I guess I’ve made my choice today, I’ll walk down this road
(Anytime anywhere)
Wherever you are (Anytime anywhere)
Will you show me your smile? (Anytime anywhere)
Whenever I close my eyes now (Anytime anywhere)
I will walk down this path (Anytime anywhere)
Will you watch over me now? (Anytime anywhere)
I want to see you now, but I won’t say it out loud
But I will reminisce just for today, a little bliss
And if I met you again, oh I would never let you go
I guess I’ve made my choice today, I’ll walk down this road
Even if I can’t promise a thing
Oh, even if I’m lonely and lost
The pain deep in my chest is growing more
Is it just proof that our two paths have crossed?
Even if nothing’s absolute
I know someday it all comes to an end
Even if I can’t dry my eyes
I know that tomorrow will come
I’m whispering a lullaby for you to come back home
Porco Rosso
Posted in anime, Art, Music, piano, Song Lyric, tagged Porco Rosso, Theme of Marco and Gina, Toki ni wa mukashino hanashi o on April 9, 2023| Leave a Comment »
One man (pig) chooses to live freely, in a place mired in fascism and depression.
“A pig that can’t fly is just a pig”
“I only fly for myself.”
Porco
One of my favorite anime themes:
Toki ni wa Mukashino Hanashi o; Occasionally shall we talk about the old days?
Lyrics and music by Kato Toki
時には昔の話をしようか
Occasionally shall we talk about the old days?
通いなれた なじみのあの店
That old familiar restaurant we used to go
マロニエの並木が窓辺に見えてた
A row of horse chestnut trees visible from the window
コーヒーを一杯で一日
A cup of coffee a day
見えない明日を むやみにさがして
Recklessly searching for that uncertain tomorrow
誰もが希望をたくした
Where everyone entrusted their hopes
ゆれていた時代の熱い風に吹かれて
Blown by the hot winds of a changing era
体中で瞬間(とき)を感じたそうだね
We seem to felt the instant in our bodies
道端で眠ったこともあったね
Weren’t there times we slept by the roadside?
どこにも行けない みんなで
All of us, with nowhere to go
お金はなくても なんとか生きてた
Although we had no money, we managed to live somehow
貧しさが明日を運んだ
Future carried by poverty
小さな下宿屋にいく人もおしかけ
A number of us would go to a small lodge house
朝まで騒いで眠った
Slept until morning amidst noises
嵐のように毎日が燃えていた
Everyday burning like a storm
息がきれるまで走った そうだね
We ran until we had no more breath. Isn’t that so?
一枚残った写真をごらんよ
Look at that one remaining photograph
ひげづらの男は君だね
You’re the man with the moustache, right
どこにいるのか今ではわからない
I don’t know where you are right now
友達もいく人かいるけど
Although some of our friends are here
あの日のすべてが空しいものだと
Everything about those days was empty
それは誰にも言えない
That is something no one can say
今でも同じように
Even now, it’s the same
見果てぬ夢を描いて
Painting those unfulfilled dreams
走りつづけているよね どこかで
You keep on running right, somewhere out there
Soundtracks From Up on Poppy Hill
Posted in anime, piano, Song Lyric, tagged From Up on Poppy Hill on February 4, 2023| 1 Comment »
I like the soundtracks from Ghibli’s From Up on Poppy Hill, such as Summer of Farewells, Reminiscence, and Sukiyaki. They fit well into its simple story, with a touch of nostalgia.
Natou breakfast, Dining table gossips
Daily flags raise, Boy falling from the sky
Chaotic clubhouse, Quiet teamwork
Bicycle ride, After school stroll
Remember the past, Embrace the future
Sukiyaki (Ue of Muite Arukou) Lyrics:
上を向いて歩こう
涙がこぼれないように
思い出す 春の日
一人ぽっちの夜
上を向いて歩こう
にじんだ星をかぞえて
思い出す 夏の日
一人ぽっちの夜
幸せは 雲の上に
幸せは 空の上に
上を向いて歩こう
涙がこぼれないように
泣きながら 歩く
一人ぽっちの夜 思い出す
秋の日 一人ぽっちの夜
悲しみは星のかげに
悲しみは月のかげに
上を向いて歩こう
涙がこぼれないように
泣きながら 歩く
一人ぽっちの夜 一人ぽっちの夜
Let’s walk with our heads held high
So the tears won’t spill over
Remembering a spring day
A night all alone
Let’s walk with our heads held high
Counting the blurred stars
Remembering a summer day
A night all alone
Happiness is on the clouds
Happiness is in the sky
Let’s walk with our heads held high
So the tears won’t spill over
Walking while crying
A night all alone
Remembering an autumn day
A night all alone
Sadness is in the shadow of the stars
Sadness is in the shadow of the moon
Let’s walk with our heads held high
So the tears won’t spill over
Walking while crying
A night all alone
A night all alone
夜訪吸血鬼

夜訪吸血鬼
詞: 陳信宏 曲: 冠佑
五月天
五月天
滿懷憂傷卻流不出淚 極度的疲憊卻不能入睡
只能夠日日夜夜 然後又日日夜夜 無盡的日日夜夜 永遠的深陷在人間
只能夠日日夜夜 然後又日日夜夜 無盡的日日夜夜 永遠的深陷在人間
我是蝙蝠卻不能飛 困在日復一日的街 無止盡的狩獵 彷彿一種天譴
夜色就是我的披肩 日出就是我的風險 舞池裡的狂顛 是我宿命制約
上帝遺棄我們 卻又要給 黯淡的月 照亮世界 要我們無盡又無情的繁衍
看愛過的人 一一告別 做過的夢 一一凋謝 只留下我獨自殘喘的千年
無法揮舞天使的純潔 也無法擁有魔鬼的果決
只有像每個人類 貪嗔痴傻和愚昧 找尋著體溫和血 找尋著同類
滿懷憂傷卻流不出淚 極度的疲憊卻不能入睡
只能夠日日夜夜 然後又日日夜夜 無盡的日日夜夜 永遠的深陷在人間
飢餓是最好的調味 孤獨是最強的催眠 瘋狂找一雙唇 能夠當我酒杯
早就對這一切厭倦 也曾憤怒喝下聖水 卻又無助醒在 下個漫長黑夜
青春遺忘我們 卻又要給 回憶的美 就像玫瑰 要餘生流血又流淚的受虐
看鏡中的臉 慢慢枯萎 高舉的拳 漸漸粉碎 只留下了無限唏噓的相片
飢餓是最好的調味 孤獨是最強的催眠 瘋狂找一雙唇 能夠當我酒杯
早就對這一切厭倦 也曾憤怒喝下聖水 卻又無助醒在 下個漫長黑夜
青春遺忘我們 卻又要給 回憶的美 就像玫瑰 要餘生流血又流淚的受虐
看鏡中的臉 慢慢枯萎 高舉的拳 漸漸粉碎 只留下了無限唏噓的相片
無法揮舞天使的純潔 也無法擁有魔鬼的果決
只有像每個人類 貪嗔痴傻和愚昧 找尋著體溫和血 找尋著同類
滿懷憂傷卻流不出淚 極度的疲憊卻不能入睡
只能夠日日夜夜 然後又日日夜夜 無盡的日日夜夜 永遠的深陷在人間
一個又一個孤單的千年 只能夠日日夜夜 然後又日因夜夜 無盡的日日夜夜
我不能飛
PS: A truthful friend told me that the supposedly angel above looks like a traditional Chinese sweeper; guess I’d practice drawing better angel. And I think it shows that even an amateur should set higher standard.
Sadness

It’s tragic to exist in a world where you do not belong, carrying a grief without the love to share its burden.
Forever Love by X Japan
Lyrics: English translation
I can’t walk alone anymore; the winds of time are too strong
Ah, I’m supposed to get used to being hurt, but now…
Ah, just hold on like this, to my wet and exposed heart
In this ever changing time, if there’s love that will never change
Will you hold my heart? Take my tears?
Already near the limit of breaking, all my heart
Forever love, forever dream
Only this overflowing thoughts
I fill up this intense, painful time
Oh tell me why; all I see is blue in my heart
Will you stay with me until the wind passes?
Overflowing once again, all my tears
Forever love, forever dream, stay beside me just like this
Please hold my quivering heart in the dawn
Oh stay with me
Ah, I wish everything’d just end, in this endless night
Ah, there’s nothing I can’t afford to lose…except you
Forever love, forever dream, stay beside me just like this
Please hold my quivering heart in the dawn
Will you stay with me until the wind passes?
Closer to you more than anyone else
Forever love, forever dream, I can’t walk anymore.
Oh tell me why, oh tell me true; tell me the meaning of life
Forever love, forever dream, amidst my overflowing tears
Until the shining seasons change into eternity
Forever love
Lyrics: Original
もう独りで歩けない 時代の風が強すぎてAh 傷つくことなんて 慣れたはず だけど今は
Ah このまま抱きしめて 濡れたままの心を変わり続けるこの時代に 変わらない愛があるなら
Will you hold my heart 涙 受け止めてもう壊れそうな all my heart
Forever love, forever dream 溢れる思いだけが激しく せつなく 時間を埋め尽くす oh tell me why
All I see is blue heart
Will you stay with me 風が過ぎ去るまでまた溢れ出す all my tears
Forever love, forever dream このままそばにいて夜明けに震える心を抱きしめて oh stay with me
Ah 全てが終わればいい 終わりのないこの夜にAh 失うものなんて 何もない 貴方だけ
Forever love, forever dream このままそばにいて夜明けに震える心を抱きしめて
Ah will you stay with me 風が過ぎ去るまでもう誰よりもそばに
Forever love, forever dream これ以上 歩けないOh tell me why, oh tell me true 教えて 生きる意味を
Forever love, forever dream 溢れる涙の中輝く季節が 永遠に変わるまで forever love
