—Jin's Song Introduction |
Wasurete Shimatta Natsu no Owari ni (忘れてしまった夏の終わりに, Lit. "Fireworks in the Summer End") is the eighth track featured on the album Mekakucity Reload.
Background[]
- The song does not have an official music video.
- From Jin's childhood experiences, fireworks equate to "summer's end" (an element of which also occurs in the final novel in the Novel Route, Kagerou Daze VIII -summer time reload-). Therefore, the (official) English title of the song "Wasurete Shimatta Natsu no Owari ni" is "Fireworks in the Summer End".[2]
Jin's Comment[]
- There are people who have changed ‘me’. There are people who have given ‘me’ life. No matter what, I don’t have enough words when those people are before me. Surely, I wouldn’t be able to convey this feeling by repeating ‘thank you’. There are people I can’t go see anymore. There are days I can’t go back to anymore. We, who can’t walk facing backwards, can only head forward. I believe that’s definitely the reason why we’re able to dream about the ‘future’. To you, who continue walking while wishing, ‘one day, once again’, I dedicate this song at the end of a prolonged summer.[3]
Lyrics & Translation[]
俯くのを止めて 君の目を見つめて
「ごめんね」と 「ありがとう」を
繰り返した
遠回りの先 これが最後の話
閉ざす様に 綴じる様に
さよならをした
月の下 思い出すのは
楽しいこと ばかりだから
せめて、悲しまないで
お別れまで、手を繋いで
息を止めて 見上げたのは
灯る花の 綺麗な色
刹那の日々を 過ごした記憶が
握った手を伝う
星の海を 飾り立てた
夏の花を 望ていたことを
今日のことを
また、話せたら嬉しい
Utsumuku no o yamete kimi no me o mitsumete
“Gomen ne” to “arigatō” o
Kurikaeshita
Tōmawari no saki kore ga saigo no hanashi
Tozasu yō ni tojiru yō ni
Sayonara o shita
Tsuki no shita omoidasu no wa
Tanoshī koto bakari dakara
Semete, kanashimanaide
O wakare made, te o tsunaide
Iki o tomete miageta no wa
Tomoru hana no kirei na iro
Setsuna no hibi o sugoshita kioku ga
Nigitta te o tsutau
Hoshi no umi o kazaritateta
Natsu no hana o miteita koto o
Kyō no koto o
Mata, hanasetara ureshī
(Unofficial Translation)
No longer hanging my head, I gazed into your eyes
I repeated “sorry” and “thank you” over and over again
In front of a detour, this is the final story
To fasten it together (to plunge into grief), to file it away
I said my goodbyes
Underneath the moon
The thoughts that came to mind were only fun things, so…
At the very least, don’t mourn or regret
Until our farewell, don’t let go of my hand
My breathing stopping, I raised my eyes
The color of the lit up flowers (fireworks) was beautiful
The days of that moment passed by in memories
Following the hand that gripped them
The ocean of stars being beautifully embellished
The summer’s flowers creating a full moon
If the things of today were told again (as a story),
I would be happy [4]
