Haha the things I used to do to you :p

Music

As the piano tinkles,

You would sing along.

-サヤカ-

They say that dogs have sensitive ears, and unfamiliar pitches irritates your hearing, hence the reason dogs howl.

I'm not sure how much of that is true, but I remember, when you first started to hear me play the piano.

I was sitting at the piano, and you were by the door, I think.. or you were probably right outside the door?

My memories seem to tell me that it's the latter, but I digress.

Anyway as I played the piano then, you would prick your ears up, tilt your head a little. Raise your head and then howl.

Truth be told, I initially found it amusing, you looked so cute when you were howling. And the first few times you heard me play the piano, you would always do that.

However after that you got used to music.

And every time I played an instrument you would sit next to me, or next to my feet quietly. I even made you play the piano a little, much to your irritation. I still remember your expression then. *Chuckles*

In the beginning you would even sleep where the pedals were and I had to move you to play the piano, or if I was playing the guitar, you always sat on my sheet music, making it difficult for me to read the chords and what I should play next. *Chuckles* Those were the days.

But now... I won't get those moments anymore will I? Who now will listen to me as I play music and keep me company?

: The only time I video-ed myself on a musical instrument, and there you were, sitting on my music notes, lol :
Song: 太陽の歌・タイヨウノウタ
By: Sawajiri Erika from the TV Show/Movie : タイヨウノウタ・太陽の歌 (Song of the Sun)
This video has been shared before on this blog, I had learnt the guitar for a month when this video was made.

Hi Baby,

Do you remember The last song I sang to you? You were already unwell then, with water in your lungs, difficulty breathing and all.

I didn't choose a random song to sing; I sang this song on purpose to you twice.

You probably don't understand Japanese, so I've translated the lyrics into English.

I leave it to express my then unsaid words.

Song Title: Promise
Sang By: 前田玲奈 / Maeda Rena
(Character: Nike Lemercier / ニケ・ルメルシエ )
From the Anime: それでも世界は美しい / Soredemo sekai ha utsukushii / Even so the world is beautiful

English Translation:

I'm thinking of you,
Tonight,
I want to throw everything away,
I want to see you,
I want to see you,
I can't sleep as I search for your warmth.

Even though we are far apart,
We are always looking up at the same sky.
I really want to be by your side.

But now, I feel like breaking,
Swallowing my sighs, my chest hurts.
Do you feel the same?
We are not alone right?

Please believe as we ride Destiny,
To capture both our futures,
I now know what kind of memories
I must embrace at night,
And when the morning comes,
I will smile again,
I will promise to hold on to tomorrow.

It's okay,
I won't be tricked by
that small and weak voice,
I will pretend to not hear it,
Because I will be by your side.

But now, If I seem broken,
Please don't let go of this hand,
Please don't look away,
Let's continue walking at this pace,
Because we are not alone.

I believe in the story that you chose,
And whatever comes from now on,
We will smile together and be strong,
No matter what happens
we won't forget the memories,
And when morning comes,
New memories will come again,
I will promise on our never-ending bond.

Please believe and ride Destiny,
To capture both our futures,
I now know what kind of memories
I must embrace at night,
And when the morning comes,
I will smile again,
I will promise to hold on to tomorrow.

Kanji lyrics / 漢字

あなたを想う 夜 全て投げ出してでも
逢いたくて 逢いたくて
眠れずに 温もり探してる

遠く離れてても いつだって
おんなじ空を 見上げてるんだけど
ホントはね 側にいて欲しいの

だけど今 挫けそうだよ
飲み込む溜息で 胸が痛いよ
あなたも同じ気持ちでいるかな
一人じゃないんだよね?

信じてみて 乗り越えられる Destiny
二人の未来 掴むために
今があると知ってるから
どんな夜も 抱き締めてるよ Memories
朝が来るまでに また笑顔になれるよね
繋ぐ明日を I will promise

少し弱気な 声 ごまかさなくていいよ
聞こえない 振りをして
側にいてあげるね

だけど今 挫けそうなら
この手を離さないで 目をそらさないで
同じ歩幅で歩いてゆきたい
一人じゃないんだから

信じてるよあなたが選ぶStory
これから先に 何があっても
笑い合える強さになる
どんな時も 忘れないでね Memories
朝になればまた新しい事 増えるよね
永遠(とわ)の絆を I will promise

信じてみて 乗り越えられる Destiny
二人の未来 掴むために
今があると知ってるから
どんな夜も 抱き締めてるよ Memories
朝が来るまでに また笑顔になれるよね
繋ぐ明日を I will promise
