There are 2 j-pop songs that I really like listening to these past few days… may pagka-love songs (cheesy!)

First one is an old song from Ken Hirai, released last year. I saw him preformed in Music Station Super Live last week.

Kimi no Suki na Toko

Kimi no suki na toko lyrics

ROMAJI

omoi ga tsunoru hodo ni chokusetsu kao mite wa ienai
kimi no suki na tokoro nante kazoekirenai hodo aru no ni

iza me no mae ni suru to nani mo ienakunatte shimau
aenai hi ni tsumikasaneta negai mo mayoi mo tameiki mo

hora ima kono kimochi kimi ni itte mitara
komatta kao suru kana? sono gyaku nara ii na

tereta egao suneta yokogao gushagusha nakigao
nagai matsuge mimi no katachi kirisugita maegami

kimi no suki na toko nara hoshi no kazu hodo aru noni
hitotsu mo kotoba ni dekinakute

koi wo sureba suru hodo kakehiki wa umaku wa naru kedo
kono mune no muzugayusa ni itsmo girigiri de wa todokanai

komatta kao mitakute ijiwaru itte miru
hontou wa subete ga kawaiteshouganai kuse ni

katahoudake dekiru ekubo asa no kasureta koe
kuchibiru no iro kami no nioi dakishimeta ondo

kimi no suki na toko nara dare yori mo shitteru noni
naze tsutaerarenaindarou

onaka ga sukuto kigen ga warukunatte damarikomu
you to sugu neru kuse ni
kaeritakunai to suneru

kimi no iya na tokoro mo sorya sukoshi wa arukeredo
au to sugu ni yurushiteshimau

hotto shita kao
waratta toki ni ha no ji ni naru mayu
hinikuya nanoni
igai to ninjoumono ni yowai

kimi no suki na toko nara
sekai no dare yori mo
shitteru boku ga ureshikute

hora ima kimi ga warau kara

naze darou kotoba ni dekinakute

ENGLISH

I can’t begin to count all the things I love about you
My thoughts become so strong that I can’t say them in front of you

When you’re in front of me, I become speechless
The prayers, doubts, and sighs built up from the days we were apart disappear

See, if I tried telling you about these feelings
Would you look troubled? I hope it would be the opposite

Your shy laughter Your profile as you sulk Your scrunched up crying face
Your long eyelashes The shape of your ears Your overcut bangs

There are as many things I love about you as there are stars in the sky
But I can’t express even one of them properly in words

As you fall deeper in love, you get very good at compromising
But this tingling in my chest is always just out of reach

Wanting to see your troubled face, I try saying something mean
Even though everything about you, to me, is unbearably adorable

The dimple that appears on only one side Your hoarse morning voice
The color of your lips The smell of your hair Your warmth when I hold you

I know about the things I love about you better than anyone else
I wonder why it’s so difficult to express these feelings

You become silent when you’re hungry because it worsens your mood
Even though you fall asleep whenever you’re drunk,
you always pout about going home

Of course you have a few flaws as well
But I end up forgiving them as soon as I see you

Your relieved expression
Your eyebrows that turn into the word “?” as you laugh
Even though you’re very sarcastic,
you’re surprisingly weak to stories about human kindness

I am so happy that
I know about all the things I love about you better
than anyone else in the entire world

Look, you’re about to smile

I wonder why I can’t express this in words

The second song is the 23rd single from Porno Graffitti “Anata ga Koko ni Itara” used as theme song for an upcoming movir “Naoko” “Naoko” is based on the manga of the same name by Nobuhiro Sakata and Yu Nakahara. It tells the story of a talented young runner (Haruma Miura) whose father died trying to save a girl named Naoko Shinomiya (Ueno).

The “Anata ga Koko ni Itara” single is scheduled to go on sale February 14. The movie opens in theaters the same month. It debuted at the no.1 spot in the Oricon charts
