[ST] utada hikaru || flavor of life (hana yori dango 2)

I LOVE HYD! the first and the 2nd. both are insanely awesome and i recommend it to frickin everyone. it's got comedy, romance, drama, suspense, and lots of twists & unpredictable turns that'll leave you at the edge of your seats. as i've said, HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. definitely my ultimate fav tv show i've ever watched. watch it online, or download the videos now!

p/s - this is one of the OSTs, and i really am amzed by how the makers of the jdorama manage to insert this song in EVERY episode without fail at the most tense/sad/happy moments. DAMN. they're incredible! and the song s really touching.

ROMANJI LYRICS

Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
Sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life

Tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
Shuukaku no hi wo yumemiteru aoi furu-tsu
Ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
Jirettai no wa nande?

Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
Sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life

Amai dake no sasoi monku ajike no nai doku
Sonna mono ni wa kyoumi wa sosorarenai
Omoitoori ni ikanai toki datte
Jinsei suteta mon janai tte

Doushita no? to kyuu ni kikareru to "Uun. Nandemo nai"
Sayounara no ato ni kieru egao watashi rashikunai
Sinjitai to negaeba negau hodo nandaka setsunai
"Aishiteru yo" yori mo "daisuki" no hou ga kimi rashii janai?
The flavor of life

Wasurekakete ita hito no omoi wo totsuzen omoidasu koro
Furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo omou to sunao ni yorokobitai yo

Daiyamondo yorimo yawarakakute atatakana mirai
Teni shitai yo kagiri aru jikan wo kimi to sugoshitai

"Arigatou" to kimi ni iwareru to nandaka setsunai
Sayounara no ato no tokenu mahou awaku horonigai
The flavor of life

English Translation from here

When you say thank you to me, for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn’t get undone even after the good bye, a hint of bitterness;
The flavor of life

Stuck midpoint between friends and lovers,
Like an un-riped fruit dreaming about the day of harvest
Because of being unable to just move one more step forward
What’s causing this frustration baby

When you say thank you to me, for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesn’t get undone even after the good bye, a hint of bitterness;
The flavor of life

Sweet talk and tasteless conversations,
It sparks no interest in me
Even when things do not go the way you want
It doesn't mean you’ve thrown your life away

When asked ‘What's wrong?’
I answer ‘It's nothing’
The smile that disappears after goodbye
It’s unlike me

The more I wish to believe in you,
For some reason it hurts even more
‘I like you a lot’ instead of ‘I love you’ sounds more like you
The flavor of life

The period when you suddenly remember the scent of someone you had almost forgotten
I want to be able to openly and honestly cherish the white purity of the falling snow more

A future tender and warmer than a diamond
I want to grasp it, in this limited time we have, i want to spend it with you

When you say thank you to me, for some reason it hurts,
Like a magic spell that doesnt get undone even after the good bye, a hint of bitterness;
The flavor of life...

and another English Translation

When I hear you say “thank you”, my heart hurts for some reason
Like a magic spell that doesn’t get undone even after the break up, the faintly burning pain;
The flavor of life

Neither friends nor lovers in uncertain terms
The un-riped fruit dreams about the day of harvest
Not being able to move forward
Those hands are desperate baby~

When I hear you say “thank you”, my heart hurts for some reason
Like a magic spell that doesn’t get undone even after the break up, the faintly burning pain;
The flavor of life

Words that seduce with sweetness, boring talk
I have no interest in them
Though things aren’t going smoothly at the moment
I haven’t given up on my life yet

When asked “What happened?”
I answer “Nothing much”
The disappearance of laughter
After a break up isn’t like me

Whenever I wish to believe in you as I want
My heart hurts for some reason
Liking something else more than
Something you love isn’t like you
The flavor of life

When I miss the person who is fainting away in my memory
I want to be more openly cheerful about the white snow piling up

The future that is smoother and more warmer than diamond
I want to embrace it even with the limited time I want to be with you

When I hear you say “thank you”, my heart hurts for some reason
Like a magic spell that doesn’t get undone even after the break up, the faintly burning pain;
The flavor of life...
