[Song of The Week] Beautiful World by Utada Hikaru

8 09 2007

A six tracks single by Utada Hikaru:

1. Beautiful World
2. Kiss & Cry
3. Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 MIX-
4. Beautiful World [Original Karaoke]
5. Kiss & Cry [Original Karaoke]
6. Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 MIX- [Original Karaoke]

All three songs have something to do with famous anime. “Beautiful World” is the ending credit song for Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone and “Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 MIX-” is the trailer song. And as for “Kiss & Cry”, it is the new theme and commercial track for Freedom and Nissin Cup Noodle, replacing “This Is Love” which also sung by Utada. As a fan of her, I have to say that “Beautiful World” is one her best songs ever, and if you want to know more about her, read wiki as usual.

Anyway, you can get the sample song here.

Lyric:

Beautiful World
Utada Hikaru

It’s only love

*moshimo negai hitotsu dake kanau nara
kimi no soba de nemurasete donna basho demo ii yo
Beautiful world
mayowazu kimi dake wo mitsumeteiru
Beautiful boy
jibun no utsukushisa mada shiranai no

It’s only love

netemo sametemo shounen manga
yume mite bakka jibun ga suki jyanai no

nani ga hoshii ka wakaranakute
tada hoshigatte nurui namida ga hoo wo tsutau

iitai koto nanka nai
tada mouichido aitai
iitai koto ienai
konjou nashi kamoshirenai
sorede ii kedo

(*repeat)

It’s only love

donna koto demo yatte mite
son wo shitatte sukoshi keikenchi agaru

shinbun nanka iranai
kanjin na koto ga nottenai
saikin choushi doudai?
genki ni shiteru nara
betsu ni ii kedo

boku no sekai kieru made aenu nara
kimi no soba de nemurasete donna basho demo kekkou
Beautiful world
hakanaku sugiteyuku hibi no naka de
Beautiful boy
kibun no mura wa shikatanai ne

moshimo negai hitotsu dake kanau nara
kimi no soba de nemurasete
