Mirai e – Kiroro

Waktu itu pas say aliburan, saya nonton NHK karena di chanel-chanel dalam negeri ga ada acara yang rame. Waktu itu nonton J-Melo, macem MTV-nya jepang. Ceritanya si pembawa cara lagi keliling di sebuah kantor (kayaknya mah stasiun radio) nanyain lagu jepang yang paling disukai sama para penyiar asing. Nah, kebetulan salah satu yang di wawancara itu orang Indonesia, Yose namanya. Katanya dia suka banget lagu Mirai e yang dibawakan oleh Kiroro. Lalu, lagu Mirai e pun mengalun indah.

Ahh, sumpahnya saya langsung jatuh cinta sama lagu ini. Pas saya search lirik dan terjemahannya, ternyata lagu ini benar-benar sangat indah.

Hora ashimoto wo mitegoran
Kore ga anata no ayumu michi
Hora mae wo mitegoran
Are ga anata no mirai

Haha ga kureta takusan no yasashisa
Ai wo idaite ayume to kurikaeshita
Ano toki wa mada osanakute imi nado shiranai
Sonna watashi no te wo nigiri
Issho ni ayundekita

Yume wa itsumo sora takaku aru kara
Todokanakute kowai ne dakedo oitsuzukeru no
Jibun no SUTOORII dakara koso akirametakunai
Fuan ni naru to te wo nigiri
Issho ni ayundekita

sono yasashi wo toki ni wa iyagari
Hanareta haha e sunao ni narezu

Hora ashimoto wo mitegoran
Kore ga anata no ayumu michi
Hora mae wo mitegoran
Are ga anata no mirai

Mirai e mukatte yukkuri to aruite yukou

Itu tadi lirik dalam bahasa Jepang. Ini dia terjemahan dalam bahasa Inggris.

Look, do you see what’s at your feet?
This is the road you walk on
Look do you see what’s up ahead?
That is your future…

My mother showed me so much tenderness
Telling me again and again,to walk on with love
I was too young then to understand what she meant
But she still took my hand and walk together with me…

My dreams always seems so far away in the sky
I’m afraid i’ll never reach it, but i’ll keep chasing it
Since this is my story, i don’t want to give up
You held my hand when i was scared
and walked together with me

At times i hated that tenderness and let go,
not listening to my mom…

Look, do you see what’s at your feet?
This is the road you walk on
Look do you see what’s up ahead?
That is your future…

At times i hated that tenderness and let go,
not listening to my mom…

Look, do you see what’s at your feet?
This is the road you walk on
Look do you see what’s up ahead?
That is your future…

Look, do you see what’s at your feet?
This is the road you walk on
Look do you see what’s up ahead?
That is your future…

Turn to the future and let’s walk there one step at a time

Ai

Novel Ai

Barusan saya baru beres baca novel yang berjudul Ai. Novel ini bercerita tentang hubungan persahabatan antara Ai, Sei, serta Shin yang akhirnya berbuah cinta. Novel yang ditulis oleh Winna Efendi ini diceritakan dalam dua sudut pandang tokoh yang berbeda. Bagian pertama cerita bergulir dari sudut pandang Sei yang mengisahkan perjalanan hidup Sei dan Ai dari kecil hingga mereka bertemu Shin dan melanjutkan kuliah di Tokyo. Bagian kedua diceritakan dari sudut pandang Ai. Bagian kedua ini banyak terdapat kisah yang menyedihkan. Saya terharu membacanya.

Well, novel ini layak untuk dibaca saat santai. Novel ini enak dibaca, ringan (bukan massanya yang ringan), dan ceritanya menarik. Tidak ada salahnya untuk dibaca.

1 Litre of Tears – Quotes

Berikut ini adalah beberapa quotes yang sangat saya sukai dalam film 1 Litre of Tears (1 Ritoru no Namida). Kata-katanya sangat menyentuh. Dalem banget maknanya.

- This isn’t something special. It’s just the record of a girl who was chosen by this strange disease.

- My life is like a flower thats hasn’t bloomed yet. From the start of the youth, I want to treasure it and have no regrets.

- Okaasan, in my heart, I know I can always trust you. From this point forward, I leave it to you. I’m sorry for always making you worry.

- This disease, why did it choose me? Fate. It can’t be put into words.

- I want to make a time machine and go back in time. If it wasn’t for this disease, not only I could enjoy falling in love but I also wouldn’t have to rely on anyone and live by myself.

- I really don’t want to say things such as ”I want to go back to how things were before.” I recognize how I am right now, and I will continue to live on.

- Therefore, I definitely won’t run away. That’s what I’ll do. Definitely, always.

- Even if it’s like that, I still want to stay here. Because this is the place where I am. To be able to be seen as an equal by my friends, I’m really thankful. I didn’t just only make trouble for them… Thinking like this, I’ve started not mind it that much.

- If you look up at the sky after falling down the blue sky is also today stretching limitlessly and smiles at me… I’m alive.

- People shouldn’t dwell on the past. It’s enough to try your best in all you’re doing now.

- I don’t want a comfortable place to stay in. From now on, I am thinking about how I am going to continue living.

- Reality is too cruel, too brutal. I don’t even have the right to dream. As I think about the future, the tears will come out again.

- Okaasan, will I be able to get married? It is you who helped me to find a reason to live on…

- Zutto Ikite ; live on forever

- I had a dream…and in it I was running freely and I was walking…But I had another dream…and in it I was in a wheelchair…I thought I had accepted me for who I am now…

- As long as its you saying it, no matter how slowly you say it, ill still listen

- If you cant talk on the phone, then ill come see you

- If you want to walk, no matter how slow it’ll be, ill walk with you

- As long as its you saying it, no matter how slowly you say it, ill still listen

- If you cant talk on the phone, then ill come see you

- If you want to walk, no matter how slow it’ll be, ill walk with you

- What’s wrong with falling down? As long as I stand up again
