Shibata Jun - Yume
And my last offering for today IS Arashi-related, despite the labeling - it's the original version of one of Ninomiya Kazunari's most famous concert-only solos, Yume. Nino's version was a bit shorter; you're seeing the full original by Shibata Jun here!
I believe this song started getting more attention recently as one mp3 version started floating around in which Nino spent most of the performance overwhelmed with emotion and crying. Hopefully this sheds a little light on what makes it so sad...
Shibata Jun - Yume (Dream)
Ima wa mada omoide ni wa dekinai shitaku nai no
Anata to futari de miteru kono yume ga owaru made
Sore wa amari ni setsunai deai datta to
Itsuka futo omoidasu kurai de ii kara
Anata to no koi owari kara hajimeta koi
Ima wa kamishimesasete yume de mo ii kara
Todokanakute ii tadoritsukenai futari de ii
Ima wa tada motomeau kono omoi o aishitai
Anata no mirai watashi no mirai wa kitto
Nido to kawaru koto o shirazu hanareteku
Koukai shiteru sonna me o mitete shimau to
Genjitsu ni modotteku yume yo samenaide
Setsunaku naru no wa shoujiki sugiru anata da kara
Kanashiku naru no wa hontou ni watashi o suki da kara
Ima wa mada omoide ni wa dekinai shitaku nai no
Kono yuki mo ame mo kono yoru no koto mo uso ja nai
Ima wa mada kizutsuku koto dekinai watashi ga iru
Kokoro no omomuku mama ni ikirarenai anata to
Kimagure de mo ii aishiteru to uso o tsuite
Ima wa tada kanaerarenai yume o mite nemuru kara
I can't let it become a memory now, I don't want to
Until this dream I'm dreaming with you comes to an end
Our meeting was such a sad one
If I can just recall that someday, that's enough
The love I shared with you, love that began from an ending
Let me contemplate that for now, even if it's only a dream
It's okay if I can't reach you, it's okay if we don't get there
Right now, I just want to love this feeling of seeking each other
Your future and mine will surely
Never change again as we drift apart
When I look into those regretful eyes
I'll return to reality... please don't let this dream end
It's painful because you're too honest
It's sad because the truth is that you love me
I can't let it become a memory now, I don't want to
This snow, the rain, and what happens tonight are not lies
Even now I still can't bring myself to feel hurt
I can't follow my heart and live on with you
It's okay if it's only a whim, just lie and say that you love me
Right now I'll just sleep, dreaming a dream that can never come true
