Part 3, and this one was slightly more of a challenge: Nino's solo from the All or Nothing tour, Regress of Progress. I even had to transcribe this one myself from the video o_o ...then afterwards I found some site that did have the romaji, but no name to credit, so I stuck with my own. >>; Another complex song, like most of Nino's solos. Complex and sad and quite lovely... also like most of his solos. So as I've said many times before, I hope I did it justice...

Arashi (Ninomiya Kazunari) - Regress of Progress


Boku no kokoro no kakera o atsumete tsunageta
Sono saki ni wa ittai nani ga mieru
Nee oshiete kurenai ka?
Muda ni sugoshi jibun o gomakashiteru
Karada ni wa mou daku koto wa dekinai no ka na
Kagayaita toki ga kasunderu

Kimi o motomesugita sei de mou hitori de utaenai
Aishiteru to mune utsu tabi
Kimi mo machi mo yugande mieta

Kuyashii kedo kizutsuki hai ni natta boku o
Itaku mo tsuyoku mo aru yasashisa de tsutsumikomu
Kimi no subete ga imada koishii da nante baka da na?
Kotoshi mo yuki ga mireru ka na tte itteta heya mo
Ima wa sugoku hirokute tsumetai

Kimi ga iru hazu no boku no tonari ni wa
Saigo ni kureta iyasenai kodoku dake
Samukute ashi ga kajikande arukenai yo
Samukute hashirenai yo
Futari dake de futari dake de yokattan da
Sore sae areba kokyuu ga dekiru
Daijoubu da tte iikikaseta yoru o
Mata hitori oyogu namida o kawashite


I picked up the pieces of my heart and put them together
What will be visible beyond that?
Hey, won't you tell me?
I'm wasting my time and deceiving myself
Maybe this body can't embrace you anymore
The time that once shone is growing hazy

Because I pursued you too strongly, I can't sing alone anymore
Every time my heart was touched by "I love you"
Both you and the town started to look distorted

It's frustrating, but after being hurt and turning to ashes
I'm enveloped by a kindness that's both painful and strong
I guess it's stupid to say everything about you is still dear to me
Even the room where you asked if we would see snow again this year
Feels so spacious and cold now

At my side, where you should be
There's only the incurable loneliness you left me with in the end
I'm so cold, my legs are numb and I can't walk
I'm so cold, I can't run
Just the two of us, just the two of us... I liked it that way
If I only had that, I could breathe
In the night when you told me everything was fine
I'm swimming alone again as my tears fall
