"Ikanai de ne" is my first and only song in Japanese. I think it's the best track of the album. Sara was so happy to sing this one. She studied Japanese at the university and she checked both this lyric collage form songs of my top favourite bands and the pronunciation of the words in the song. So happy we managed to get this one done while my attempt to write a song in french ("Rien ne va rouge") was left unfinished and abbandoned to a very rough instrumental demo.
lyrics
Iki wo isomete
Kirameku kiseki ga okoru yo
Fuwari fuwari to
Ukande
Sukoshi teruteru yo
Jikan wo kakenakya
Tokei no hari, guru guru to mawaru
Kimi
Kibun de tanoshii
Mainichi wo hajimeru no
Ne- yasashi uta wo kimi ni ageru yo
Nani mo nozomi wa shinai you ni
Ne- yasashii uta wo kimi ni ageru yo
Semi no koe wo kiku tabi ni
Hito no
Nami wo surinuke
Be-ri no aisukuri-mu no
Yume wo miteiru yo
Hito no
Nami wo surinuke
Ima soko de hikatteiru
Egao wa anata no
Shiawase
No akashi
Kirakirakirakirakiraaa
Yoppi de asobu yo
Nayameru watashi wa yumemiru
Te wo tsunaidara
Ikeru no futari dokomademo
Nee dokoka e ikanai?
One day! hitori de arukanai
Furimukeba
Kono sekai no
Humming ga kikoeru no
