Yay! I just got hold of KAT-TUN's No More Pain album. And I definitely fell in love with one song, PROMISE SONG. Kame's rendition of his parts is so heartbreaking that it makes you wonder if he is really feeling the loss.

PROMISE SONG
Close my eyes, there is the song I heard that day, the nameless melody that you quietly sang to yourself
It is the one thing that refuses to fade away, that keeps us connected no matter how much time has passed
Until now, I keep searching and searching for the answer every time I think of you
Faraway, in a place without you, I am still singing, with strength, with gentleness
this tiny endless melody that has stayed unchanged ever since that day
Farewell, bewildered and confused as I am in front of this unfamiliar scenery, I know for certain that you are
gently protecting the precious words we exchanged
Yesterday, it came as no surprise, still it was unbelievable, the day our footprints went separate ways
Unable to speak up, I didn't dare to look at you, yet I was not able to hide my weakness
The "thank you" that you gave me at the end will become the hope that connects me with tomorrow, so...
Faraway, riding on this wind, here are the words I want to send to you, only you
Can you hear it? This tiny endless melody that has stayed unchanged ever since that day
Farewell, as we go along two different roads, whenever we are worn down by confusion, let us look for
flowers of the same colours and take them as proof of our meeting
Let us gather the fragments of memory, gently, carefully, so that it wouldn't break
I wish that someday we will be able to put inside our hearts a complete memory
Faraway, in a place without you, I am still singing, with strength, with gentleness
this tiny endless melody that has stayed unchanged ever since that day
Farewell, this promise song will forever resound deep in my heart
And so, I start walking, until the day we meet again
Until the day we meet again
Tell me, is it just me or there is really an allusion to Jin's departure in this song?
***sigh***
