Kamei Eri - Nakumonka

Kamei Eri singing Nakumonka
Live recording from Morning Musume's 6th gen Dinner Show モーニング娘。 亀井 絵里 なくもんか

---------------------------------
English Lyrics

"Maybe every single one of us is walking alone"
Unable even to tell anyone about the loneliness they are carrying
As countless more people walk further away

I've grown up and at least gotten good at faking a smile
But that's not what I envisioned happening
It's supposed to be a stronger, gentler warmth

Someone's reaching out to me, am I brave enough to grab their hand?
This distance is trifling, it's nothing, really
But it's always testing my meager heart

I know that for every tear there's a smile
But I always pretend when I'm with you, I can't be honest with myself
Whether it's sad or joyous, yeah, I want to be connected to you
That's how we gather our hearts together, one by one

Failures, betrayals, bad news, I mix them all together and shield my heart
I pretended not to see, yeah, that's how I was able to go on living
But I still don't want to run away

The downpour, the driving rain drowns out another person's voice
And there you are, with a troubled expression
Carrying the same loneliness as me

I don't know the right answer, but, yeah, I don't want to give up
Because you're here and I'm here,
our hearts need each other

"Understanding each other means forgiving each other"
Even confusion and anxiety are a part of us
I'll remember each tear we cry
See, if I can smile with you again

I know that for every tear there's a smile
But I'll tell you even if my voice grows hoarse because I want you to know
If you cry for me, if you laugh for me, yeah, I know I'll grow stronger
That's how we connect our hearts together, one by one

oh yeah, I meant to say this awhile ago but before the start of the song, Eri said whenever she was worried, this song would give her a lot of strength/courage and would help cheer her up.

With Eri's graduation being today, perhaps this song can cheer some of us up as well.

@TheUserName125 & mtpleasantries: Unfortunately, there isn't a studio version that's available to the public (Sayu has a copy of the song on her ipod). Most likely because the rights to the song belong to Ikimono Gakari.

[rikkukiki]

I think kamei-san is the more cute and the more harmonious voice in M.M

She's very cute...We all will miss TOT

[princess88990]

Eri-chan's voice is more beautiful than Ikimono-gakari.

[2majii]

@personfour Yep

[lawrencealcantara620]

@SukoshiProductions i thought it'll cheer me up too but it just made me cry >_<

[ramencupz]

Ikimono is good and all, but this song is definitely better when Eri sings it. its like she is pouring her sadness into song and it just makes me tear up but also touches my heart. yep love it more then ikimono's version.

[TheUserName125]

@mtpleasantries if there is can you inform me too?

[mtpleasantries]

is there a studio recorded version of eri singing nakumonka?

[Wobniar7]

@personfour yes, and I think Eri's voice make this song sad more than ikimono

[Wobniar7]

my favorite song by my favorite idol.
