Today’s Theme Song

Based on the link the uke passed to me, I’ve had this song playing in my head:

Kimi to no Ashita (A Tomorrow with You)
Lyrics & Music: Tainaka Sachi
Arrangement: Kaneko Takahiro
Vocals: Tainaka Sachi
Romaji
English

Guuzen ja nai futari deaeta no wa
Zutto mae kara kimatteta unmei

Me wo tojiru tabi sora wo miageru tabi ni
Maboroshi no you na ano hibi ga yomigaeru

Michi wa susumu tabi ni tooku naru
Dakedo aruku yo kono mama

Hitotsu mo nokosazu wasuretakunai yo
Yasashii kotoba mo aishita hitomi mo
Shinjite ii yo ne? Mou ichido aeru to
Namida wa soremade nagasanai kara

Guuzen ja nai futari deaeta no wa
Zutto mae kara kawaranai unmei

Kokoro kara kimi to mou ichido warai aitai
Kesshite kanawanu yume demo

Watashi ni wa mieru kimi to no ashita ga
Kimi ni mo wakaru yo itsudatte sou
Kanarazu mamoru yo yakusoku shita kara
Kanashii toki ni wa soba ni itai yo

Guuzen ja nai futari deaeta no wa
Zutto mae kara yumemiteta unmei

More importantly, thank you to all my friends who stood by me and remembered my birthday. >< I apologise if I forget yours.

You can’t choose your relatives, but you can choose how to react to them. And really, is it so bad to be considerate?
