Koko ni Shika Sakanai Hana

Kobukuro - Koko ni Shika Sakanai Hana (MP4, 23.1MB, for PSP/Quicktime)

I thought I'd let some people know that I've just updated Kongetsu again. Lately I've been reminded of the time I spent with my friends in Japan again and I think it's partly because of this song. When I was in Japan, I often heard this song playing at the 100-Yen shop that my friends and I often visited. However, I didn't actually know the song's title until I arrived back home. I was quite surprised when I found out that the song is actually an ending theme to a Japanese drama called Ruri no Shima. The drama was playing around June which is the reason why the song was popular around that time as well. I have recently had the chance to see the drama itself and I have to say that it is actually quite good. I'll probably do a coverage about it one day when my schedule is a bit lighter. For now, enjoy the PV while you can because it's quite hard to find even on the Japanese P2P program.

Ruri no Shima ED Theme
Performed by Kobukuro

Kanji/Kana version

何もない場所だけど　ここにしか咲かない花がある
心にくくりつけた荷物を　静かに下ろせる場所
空の色映し出した　瑠璃色の海
遥かから聴こえる　あなたの笑い声はよく聴けば波の音でした

寂しさ隠せずにいるなら　一人になればいい
ささやくほどの声で呼んでいるのは　いつも同じ名前

あの優しかった場所は　今でも
変わらずに　僕を待ってくれていますか？
最後まで笑顔で　何度も振り返り
遠ざかる姿に　唇噛みしめた
今はこみあげる　寂ばくの想いに
うるんだ世界を　ぬぐってくれる
指先を　待っている

影が教えてくれるのは　そこにある悲しみだけじゃない
うつむく顔を上げて　振り返れば
そこにある光に　気づくだろう

同じ数の出会いと別れ　でも割り切れなくて
余るほどの想い出を　いつまでも
胸に　咲かせながら

雨上がりの道は　ぬかるむけれど
今ここに生きている　証を刻むよ
どうかこの涙を　しおれかけの花に
喜びの彼方で　もう一度咲けるように
願いは海風に　吹かれて大空へ
やがて小さな　虹を渡るよ
いつの日か　その足で

ここにしか咲かない花　ここにしか吹かない風
ここでしか聴けない歌　ここでしか見えない物
ここにしか咲かない花　ここにしか吹かない風

あの優しかった場所は　今でも
変わらずに　僕を待ってくれていますか？
不意にこみあげる　寂ばくの想いに
うるんだ世界を　ぬぐってくれる

雨上がりの道は　ぬかるむけれど
今ここに生きている　証を刻むよ
いつかこの涙が　寂ばくの想いも
忘れ去られそうな　時代の傷跡も
燦然と輝く　あけもどろの中に
風が運んで　星に変わる

そんな日を　待っている

Romaji version

Nani mo nai basho dakeredo koko ni shika sakanai hana ga aru
Kokoro ni kukuritsuketa nimotsu wo shizuka ni oroseru basho
Sora no iro utsuhidashita ruriiro no umi haruka kara kikoeru
Anata no waraigoe wa yoku kikeba nami no oto deshita

Samishisa kakusezu ni iru nara hitori ni nareba ii
Sasayaku hodo no koe de yonde iru no wa itsumo onaji namae

Ano yasashikatta basho wa ima demo
Kawarazu ni boku wo matte kurete imasu ka?
Saigo made egao de nando mo furikaeri
Toozakaru sugata ni kuchibiru kamishimeta
Ima wa komiageru sekibaku no omoi ni
Urunda sekai wo nugutte kureru
Yubisaki wo matte iru

Kage ga oshiete kureru no wa soko ni aru kanashimi dake ja nai
Utsumuku kao wo agete furikaereba
Soko ni aru hikari ni kidzuku darou

Onaji kazu no deai to wakare demo warikirenakute
Amaru hodo no omoide wo itsumade mo
Mune ni sakasenagara

Ameagari no michi wa nukarumu keredo
Ima koko ni ikite iru akashi wo kizamu yo
Douka kono namida wo shiorekake no hana ni
Yorokobi no kanata de mou ichido sakeru you ni
Negai wa umi kaze ni mukarete oozora e
Yagate chiisana miji wo wataru yo
Itsu no hi ka sono ashi de

Koko ni shika sakanai hana, koko ni shika fukanai kaze
Koko de shika kikenai uta, koko de shika mienai mono
Koko ni shika sakanai hana, koko ni shika fukanai kaze

Ano yasashikatta basho wa ima demo
Kawarazu ni boku wo matte kurete imasu ka?
Fui ni komiageru sekibaku no omoi ni
Urunda sekai wo nugutte kureru

Ameagari no michi wa nukarumu keredo
Ima koko ni ikite iru akashi wo kizamu yo
Itsuka kono namida ga sekibaku no omoi mo
Wazuresareru sou na jidai no kizuato mo
Sanzen to kagayaku akemodoro no naka ni
Kaze ga hakonde hoshi ni kawaru

Sonna hi wo matte iru
