Hitomi: Problem

04.07.20
Artist: Hitomi
Title: Problem
Words: Hitomi
Music: Komuro Tetsuya

My friend and I promised each other long ago,
in the meantime she did something somewhere,
and forgot our promise.
but she ran to just what was before her eyes,
exposing the heart's indecency,
because these days she can't hide it
all of a sudden I remembered, I looked far away
and step on the stairs to meet that person again.

but for some reason I can't say that I'm still happy,
I'll just keep on like this,
even if it's inconceivably far away
I start walking so we can see each other again.
the train platform worn by constant usage
becomes a garbage can.
Since I'm going to lose to the gap,
the natural will someday change to the unnatural.

together we walked unbeknownst
connected by somewhere
but really just feeling lonely
the sun rises and shines on my heart

Couple's never seem to fight,
but surely hearts look for one another
it just doesn't last and soon goes away
I got scared of telling words I couldn't say
I want to hold (someone), I want to stick to cheeks,
it was really all about that.
Because i'm living so that I don't forget what love is about,
look there the flower is blooming.

lalala...

Translator's Notes: This one is so hard to understand even we are scratching our heads. Here we go. From Takko: "A friend she was close with long ago forgot a promise they made to each other and went after her own goals. Recently the singer (hitomi) has gotten famous and always surrounded by many people, was made to suddenly remember that person." Brian: Hitomi analyzes friendships versus loves, and comes to the realization that though these things don't last she knows simply that she wants to have someone to care for and she wants love. Her experience with her friend becomes a lesson. Very difficult lyrics even in Japanese. This is just our interpretation.
