Be Different

Koda Kumi 倖田來未 is a very sexy J-Pop artist. In fact, I’m not really into J-Pop nor K-Pop only until I came across cool Japanese/Korean anime or games. (FYI, I don’t know how to write nor speak Jap) Koda Kumi, it’s her sexy voice that pulled my attention of knowing more about her. I only knew her existence after I played Final Fantasy X-2 (review on this in the next up-coming post).

“Feel” is a song written by Koda Kumi herself and Hitoshi Shimono. I like this song very much..frankly speaking, if it wasn’t because of the MV, I would not have listen/know this song. (Very sexy MV) However this is not a new song of Koda’s. It was released in Jan 2006.

The song is built up like a story Koda is telling to a lover of hers. In the beginning she is reminiscing about a meeting they had, and how she felt at the time that his feelings for her were driving them apart. She then goes on to ponder on why she is feeling scared when she reads an e-mail she has received from her boyfriend, and that she seems to be unable to express her feelings for him. Then she makes a confession on how she understands that music can be a way of expressing her feelings for her lover, that she wants him to feel her heart and that they should dance together. Then she is back reminiscing about the day her boyfriend proposed to her, and how she felt that accepting his proposal was the perfect excuse to be together with him, although she might not have been ready for that kind of commitment. The song ends with her making a dishonest vow to her fiancée, telling him that from this day on they will be together.

Koda Kumi - Feel Lyrics

Kuruma no naka sotto
Kami wo nadete kureta
Kimi no te no nukumori
Ima mune wo atsuku shiteku
Futari dakeno kuukan
Himitsu no toki ga sotto
Hashiri dasu kimochi
Watashi wo oita mama de…

Why tell me why
Nandomo kimi kara no mail wo
Yomikaeshite mo fuan ga osou
Why tell me why
Kimi he no omoi
Kotoba nanka de tsutaerare nai kara

*Now I know the way that I take the music
You know something happened and dancing inside me
Yes I want you to feel my heart
Close your eyes
Feel it Feel it Feel it
Remember everything
Yes the way that I take the music
You know something happened and dancing inside me
Feeling free and just close to me That’s all
Now you know what I’m saying
it’s easy thing to get my feel

“Dousureba ii no?”
Mata kimi wo komaraseteru
Hontou wa kimi toko no mama
Issho ni itai dake no koujitsu…
Bukiyou nasei da ne
Hontou no kimochi nante kantan ni tsutawara nai
Sore ga renai na no ka na?

Why tell me why
Osoroi de tsuketeru yubiwa ga aru no ni
Why tell me why
Tsumara nai koto de kigen waruku shite koukai de

*Repeat

“Korekara mo zutto issho ni iyou ne”
Sunao ni ieta hi
Kimi kara no henji wa “itsumo soba ni iru yo”

Feel [English Translation]

You softly stroke my hair
as we sit in the car
The warmth of your hands
warming my heart
In our private space
on our secret time,
your feelings start to drive away
leaving me behind…

Why tell me why
Do I feel attacked by fear when
I read your mail over and over again
Why tell me why
Because I can’t seem
to tell you how I feel

“Is this okay with you?”
again you put me on the spot with your questions
The truth is, it’s
just an excuse to stay together with you…
I know…aren’t I the clumsy one
My true feelings for you aren’t that easy to convey
…so that must be what romance is about?

Why tell me why
Do you slip on this ring of commitment
Why tell me why
Do you spoil the mood with triffle regrets

*Repeat

“We can be together forever from now on”
I said meekly on that day
And you replied “I’ll always be by your side”
