| The poster of 'Raiou' |
RED has been re-airing ‘Lightning Tree/Raiou’ these days. I’ve re-watched it several times and remembered how this movie first captured my attention to Okada Masaki (and subsequent almost sleepless nights afterwards to watch his other dramas). I have made a post about the movie here, and in fact, I received my first comment on that post today! Yay!
I have to tell you this: I miss Masaki-kun so much. ‘Taira no Kiyomori’ finished last December, and I cannot tell you how I miss his Minamoto no Yoritomo. I haven’t found Masaki’s other English-subbed projects, so I’m down to re-watching his past projects (The Golden Piggy/Ogon no Buta, Holy Monsters/Seinaru Kaibutsutachi, Otomen and Young Black Jack are on top list). I also downloaded many Masaki-related OSTs, or if I cannot do that for techy reasons, I have been streaming the OSTs over and over again. One such OST is Raiou’s OST, titled ‘Kokoro’ and sung by Maika.
See how cute Masaki and Yu were; ‘lip-sync’ing Maika? Sugoi kawaii ne!
Naturally, I want to know the English translation of the lyrics. I easily found the Romaji and Kanji lyrics, e.g. here, but not the English translation. So, I did what I did during the Taira no Kiyomori: I self-translated the lyrics.
The romaji and English lyrics can be found below after the gorgeous MV here, ‘Fairy’ by Ōhashi Torio. I didn’t know the title until 10 minutes ago, but I think I recognised it: it was sung lyric-less when Narimichi (Okada Masaki) found Yu (Yu Aoi) by the fire during the Seta Matsuri/Festival. It was also the end credit music when Seta Sukejiro found his sister Yu by the Lightning Tree after Narimichi’s death. Click this for the full version (more than 5 min) of the song. English and Romaji lyrics are in this post.

Here’s the English lyrics to Kokoro, with disclaimer that I enlisted the help of Google Translator and some logics, hence I am bound to make mistakes. Gomen kudasai in advance!
'Kokoro' by Maika (English ver):
Hey, I wonder where we are heading
At times, I don’t know about it myself
But if I stay on by your warmth, many times
My frozen heart always gently dissolved
The voice inside our hearts is the sign
Over the years, love can change its appearance
The two of us together on this road
☆
Your voice calling my name
As you reach here now
My desire to hold hands with you is greater than countless pains
★
Continue to scream, continue to seek
Even if everything is broken
Still want to protect those irreplaceable days
The two of us are the living proof
Even now, I’m still thinking of you
Hey, don’t lose the feeling of that day
Time has passed and faded
But that feeling will continue to shine without disappearing
The voice inside our hearts is the sign
Once again, I’m afraid of losing
(and) pulling the same lies
Reff:
I want it to be just you
I cannot express my heart enough
I cannot say that enough
The embrace always remains
★Repeat
Now look, if you listen carefully, you will hear it
‘Seize the day’ is not an illusion
☆Repeat
Continue to waver, continue to search
We’ve finally found the answer
Moments with you will never change
The two of us is certainly a living proof
And now I live with you
Romaji ver:
