Safarii - Hero

Ren here. Jus finished watching JDorama セレブと貧乏太郎 (Celeb & Poor Taro). its a very light-hearted drama that involves the lives of ultra rich billionaire heiress, Alice and an uber poor part-time worker Taro with 3 kids.. much comedy and some romantic sparks here and there.. i'd recommend if you like JDorama.. =) Tako likes Alice-san's lip gloss.. >.>

And this song is an insert in it.. its neither an opening nor closing theme but it fits the story very well.. and sometimes, i myself reflect upon it too. that's why i like it very much. pretty much shows wad i'm feeling now. jus wanna share it with you guys.. hope you like it too.

here's the lyrics.. in Japanese,

 

太陽が眩し過ぎて　顔上げて真っすぐ歩けない
笑い声響く街並がなぜか孤独に感じるよ
いつになればなれるだろう　強くて優しいあなたのように
どんなに強がってみても　胸に残る虚しさが

※本当は自信なんてないし　情けないほど弱虫
泣きそうなくらい　また今日が辛い　作り笑いの下でI cry…
強くなくていい　素顔のままに　もう自分にウソつかなくていい
この物語のHeroは自分だから※

誰かに合わせて笑ってみたり喜んでみたり
本当の気持ちを言えないまま　鏡に映った嘘の自分
周りと同じが楽だった　一人ぼっちが怖かった
逆境に負けず　立ち向かうHero　あなたが遠く霞んで見えた
だけどそんな僕にもたった一つだけわかった事があるんだ

(※くり返し)

変わらないものなんてきっとない　答え探し続ける一生涯
今日よりも明日　明日よりも日月後日って先走って気付けば自分勝手
本当の強さが何なのかすらわからずに強がるのが精一杯で
いっぱい人を傷付けて　結局は自分自身傷付けて
臆病だってカッコ悪くたって時にわがままだっていいじゃない
まずは認める所から始めよう　心に掛かった雲を掻き消そう
僕の物語僕がHero　君の物語君がHero　誰しもがきっと
ほらそう思えば少し楽になれる

本当は自信なんてないし　情けないほど弱虫
泣きそうなくらい　また今日が辛い　作り笑いの下でI cry…
他の誰かを救えるほど　カッコよくなんてないけど
世界にたった一人の自分だから

(※くり返し)

Taiyou ga mabushisugite kao agete massugu arukenai
Waraigoe hibiku machinami ga nazeka kodoku ni kanjiru yo
Itsu ni nareba nareru darou tsuyokute yasashii anata no you ni
Donna ni tsuyogatte mitemo

※Hontou wa jishin nante nai shi
Nasakenai hodo yowamushi

Kono monogatari no hero wa jibun dakara※

Dareka ni awasete waratte mitari

Kawaranai mono nante kitto nai

English

The sun is so bright that I can’t look up and walk straight
Laughter echoes through the town but somehow it feels lonely
When will I be able to be as strong and gentle as you?
No matter how much I try to pretend to be strong
An emptiness remains in my heart

※The truth is, I have no confidence
And I’m such a wimp it’s pathetic
Another day so hard that I feel like crying
Underneath my fake smile, I cry...
I don’t need to pretend to be strong, I can show my true face
I don’t need to lie to myself anymore
Because the hero of this story is me※

Trying to laugh with someone
Trying to be happy
Unable to say how I really felt
The girl in the mirror was a fake version of myself
It was easier to be like everyone else
I was afraid of being alone
You, a hero who faces adversity without giving in
Seemed to be a blur in the distance
But there’s just one thing
That I learned

(※repeat)

There’s surely nothing that won’t change
We spent our lives searching for answers
We overlook today in favour of tomorrow, tomorrow in favour of the next day
And now I think about it, we’re selfish
We’re hell-bent on pretending to be strong
When we don’t even know what real strength is
We hurt so many people
And in the end we hurt ourselves
Isn’t it OK to be cowardly and clumsy
And even selfish sometimes?
Let’s start by admitting it to ourselves
Let’s get rid of the clouds in our hearts
The hero of my story is me
The hero of your story is you
If everyone can think that
Then surely we’ll all feel a little better

(※repeat）

レンのドラマ! ren's dorama! ^^

i've always been watching japanese dramas whenever its showing on my TV. Japanese dramas (aka ドラマ dorama) have always caught my attention ever since... ひとつ屋根の下　Under One Roof this series. have you watched it before? ^^. So from then on, i started watching any dorama and my fondness of japan grew and grew.

Recently, my TV started re-broadcasting 薔薇のない花屋　(Bara no nai Hanaya, Flower shop without Roses) i've actually watched this series on its debut telecast before i started this blog. I loved this dorama alot. So, this 2nd telecast continued to suck me to my tv.. XD and i jus wanna share some dorama with you guys and gals~ i greatly recommend this series to anyone who loves plot-twisting, sad, romantic and of cos in almost every dorama, some humour in your shows.

Japanese dorama usually takes a year to be released in DVDs.. i love this dorama so much that i did in fact bought its DVD.

The main cast in the series.. i think i've watched  enuff doramas to judge a series whether good or bad thru its casting.. XD It always those famous faces that you'll see.. Shingo, Yuko and Shouta are jus some..

Something i liked abt doramas, they ALWAYS have character maps (as above) to explain each character's relation to one another.. and some juicy bits to get you hooked. XD

The story begins with a young Eiji, (portraited by Shingo) rushing to the hospital as the girlfriend was giving birth.. Upon arriving to her ward, he found out that she has passed away after giving birth to a little gal, Shizuku. Grief-stricken Eiji, den young.. had nothing, but single-handedly brought the little gal up through various part-time jobs. Together, they built an unbreakable father-daughter relationship.. and finally, he managed to save up and open a flower shop becos the girlfriend loved flowers..

The plot starts when a blind lady (portraited by Yuko), took shelter by the shop and met Eiji.. She's actually sent by the girlfriend's dad to take revenge on Eiji, for causing his daughter's early death. if you find this STARTING interesting, i'll leave the rest to you guys to watch.. heh..

Why do i like dorama so much?

Simply becos,

-It's short; Average 11 episodes per title. it's good when you dun have time to watch dramas.

-Every episode is very interesting, story moves fast. Too fast to predict wad's gonna happen which makes it very anticipating - according to Tako.

-Wonderfully directed, scenes selection and the way its presented.. with full soundtrack to it!! most of the time, its composed by famous japanese composers.
-The amount of effort put in by the japanese during the making of doramas never fails to impress me.

-and finally of cos, it's in japanese. XD

yups.. so this is the ren's dorama post.. i'll post more when i have the time.. there's so many doramas to cover! ^^. Do you get your dosage of dorama too? why do you like/dislike them? which are the ones you've watched? feel free to share with us!! =D

thanks for reading this boring post.. (z.z) getting late alr..

おやすみ。　＝）
