The Beauty of Japan: Part One

A slide show I made during summer program in Tokyo, Japan, 2006. Some photos are from Tokyo and some are from the Yokohama area as well.

Here are the lyrics to the song if anyone would like them.
Original / Romaji Lyrics andEnglish Translation couresy of animelyrics.com

hitori kiri
mori no ki no shita de ryoute nobashi
odoru hora
komorebi ni yurete'ru yume

All alone
under the trees of the forest, I dance
with my hands outstretched. Look!
A dream that sways in the sunlight filtering through trees.

shinwa no kaze fuite
kami ni yubi ni furete'ku

The winds of myth blow,
touching my hair and fingers.

kanashii koto mo, itai koto mo
hi no hikari ni kirameku no
tooi kuni e, yuku watashi
taiyou mitete kureru no

Even in sadness, even in pain,
as I travel to distant countries
that shine with the light of the sun,
the sun watches over me.

[Instrumental]

[Instrumental]

mienai mono
konna ni hikareru no wa doushite?
shiranai basho
watashi wo yonde-iru yume

Why is it
that unseen things are so fascinating?
An unknown place...
A dream is calling me...

suashi ni atatakai
tane-tachi mo mezameru no

It's warm in bare feet.
The seeds are awakening too.

yowai inochi, tsuyoi kimochi
tori sae mo shitte-iru no
donna toki mo, utau dake de
sora made todoki-sou

Weak life, strong feelings.
Even the birds know.
Whenever I just sing,
it seems to reach to the sky.

[Instrumental]



[Instrumental]

mizu kagami ni [1]
utsuru kumo wa
senaka no hane
hana no kaori
matou dake de
dekakeru no



The clouds reflected
on the water's shimmering surface [1]
are wings on my back.
Wearing only
the fragrance of flowers,
I set out.

kanashii koto mo, itai koto mo
hi no hikari ni kirameku no
tooi kuni e, yuku watashi
taiyou mitete kureru no



Even in sadness, even in pain,
as I travel to distant countries
that shine with the light of the sun,
the sun watches over me.

Arigato Gozaimas.

Watashi wa seto des. Nihongo o benkyo shimas. Sukoshi hanasemas.
