I was suppose to be studying, but found some old links that was stuck in my bookmarks and saw an old video. JUJU's Hello, Again ~昔からある場所~ (Ballad Ver.)!
It's been a long time since I watched it, can't believe I still cry when I saw it (I may be a bit soft in this area, teehee).
In the MV, the old man visits an old place which he and his girl used to go, hence the "昔からある場所" (mukashi kara aru basho - a place from long ago). Anyway he snaps photos of the place and his memories of his days with his wife soon took over and we see how he moved from one stage of his life to another with his wife until her eventful death.
Strangely enough I am currently studying for my Developmental Psychology - Adult and Aging exam, but it doesn't take a psychology degree to know how he felt.
So how do you say goodbye to someone who has accompanied you since teenage life until old age; someone who has become a part of you indefinitely. How do you say goodbye to someone you love so dear? How do you let go of many years of love and company?
I can say that most young and early adults wouldn't have thought about it, since we still have such a long live to live, but when things like this strikes, how do you let go of someone like that? Are we prepared to do it?
Have you ever thought of what would it be like to lose the person you love the most? Hmm, to far away to think? Too unrealistic? As far as I know, life is very fragile and we can go at any moment.
All we can do is cherish the people important to us and make each moment last.
In the end I guess it's all just part of life. The grand game of the Gods and Goddesses.
Here is the song and lyrics: The song in YouTube was taken away by Sony (copyright issue), so click on the link below.
The season we always waited for
Nanimo iwazu toorisugita
Passed without saying anything
Ame wa kono machi ni furisosogu
The rain downpours on the city
Sukoshi no RIGURETTO to tsumi wo tsutsumikonde
Wrapping my mere regret and sins
Nakanai koto wo chikatta mama toki wa sugi
Vowing not to cry the time passed
Itamu kokoro ni ki ga tzukazu ni boku wa hitori ni natta
Without noticing I became alone with my injured heart
"Kioku no naka de zutto futari wa ikite ikeru"
"We always lived together within my memories"
Kimi no koe ga ima mo mune ni hibikuyo sore wa ai ga samayou kage
Your voice still resounds in my chest, this is the wandering shadow of love
Kimi wa sukoshi naita? Ano toki mienakatta
Did you cry? I didn't see you at that time
Jibun no genkai ga dokomade ka wo shiru tame ni
I'm not living
Boku wa ikiteru wake jyanai
In order to know my own limits
Dakedo atarashii tobira wo ake umi ni dereba
But a new door opens when I went to the sea
Nami no kanata ni chanto "hate" wo kanjirareru
Being able to feel beyond the waves
Boku wa kono te nobashite sora ni susumi kaze wo ukete
I extend my hand advancing to the sky, the wind's blowing
Ikite ikou dokoka de mata meguruyo tooi mukashi kara aru basho
Let's live, revolving everywhere again in the place that existed long time ago
Yoru no aide de sae kisetsu wa kawatte iku
Even during the night the season will continue to change
Ame wa yagate agatteita
The rain rose at last
"Kioku no naka de zutto futari wa ikite ikeru"
"We always lived together within my memories"
Kimi no koe ga ima mo mune ni hibikuyo sore wa ai ga samayou kage
Your voice still resounds in my chest, this is the wandering shadow of love
Kimi wa sukoshi naita? Ano toki mienakatta
Did you cry? I didn't see you at that time
