Though we can start something new,

Keep the old stuff deep in memory.




Four seasons

How many seasons one can have!

Age × 4.
Not many.

If you only love one particular season, 
say winter,
How many winter one can have!
not quite many.

張國榮 Leslie Cheung -《春夏秋冬 A Balloon’s Journey》MV



 秋天該很好 你若尚在場
秋風即使帶涼 亦漂亮
深秋中的你填密我夢想
就像落葉飛 輕敲我窗
冬天該很好 你若尚在場
天空多灰 我們亦放亮
一起坐坐談談來日動向
漠視外間低溫 這樣唱
能同途偶遇在這星球上
燃亮飄渺人生 我多麼夠運
無人如你逗留我思潮上
從沒再疑問 這個世界好得很
暑天該很好 你若尚在場
火一般的太陽在臉上
燒得肌膚如情 痕極又癢
滴著汗的一雙笑著唱
能同途偶遇在這星球上
燃亮飄渺人生 我多麼夠運
無人如你逗留我思潮上
從沒再疑問 這個世界好得很
能同途偶遇在這星球上
是某種緣份 我多麼慶幸
如離別 你亦長處心靈上
寧願有遺憾 亦願和你遠亦近
春天該很好 你若尚在場
春風彷彿愛情在蘊醞
初春中的你 撩動我幻想
就像嫩綠草使春雨香

Sweet Memories of First Encouners



The memories of the first encounters 
in every segment of life 
are the most treasured and 
become sweeter as time goes by: 
the first romantic love, 
the first art course I took, 
the first job I had, 
the first position in a lifelong career, 
the first holiday overseas, 
the first book I published, 
the first Japanese TV drama I watched...

However, these sweet memories may sometimes 
evoke sadness in me, 
as I know I cannot always 
experience the same joy 
in future encounters.

September comes after August


August during my student days meant something 
very different to me 
compared to August after leaving school.

The difference is due to 
the varying degrees of positive sentiment 
I would feel towards the upcoming September.




Taylor Swift – August

Salt air, and the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers of "Are you sure?"
"Never have I ever before"
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Your back beneath the sun
Wishin' I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
I remember thinkin' I had you
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Back when we were still changin' 
for the better
Wanting was enough
For me, it was enough
To live for the hope of it all
Cancel plans just in case you'd call
And say, "Meet me behind the mall"
So much for summer love and saying "us"
'Cause you weren't mine to lose
You weren't mine to lose, no
But I can see us lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
'Cause you were never mine, never mine
But do you remember?
Remember when I pulled up and said, "Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all, 
for the hope of it all
"Meet me behind the mall"
Remember when I pulled up and said, 
"Get in the car"
And then canceled my plans 
just in case you'd call?
Back when I was livin' for the hope of it all
(for the hope of it all)
For the hope of it all
For the hope of it all
(For the hope of it all)
(For the hope of it all)

The speeds at which cherry blossoms fall


To compare the speed at which 
cherry blossoms fell fifteen years ago with the speed this year: 
is this year's speed faster or slower?

————————


秒速5厘米 - 秒速5センチメートル
One More Time, One More Chance



——————————

十五年前的櫻花飄落的速度,
比較今年櫻花飄落的速度,
是快了些抑或是慢了些呢?

Walking in a market in a little town in the morning

Simple living always 
leads to rich life.





Mree - Kiki's Song (original) - Live

I am open 
The start of a life on my own 
Way down below 

Little town, 
full of people 
People that I'd like to know 
With a peck on the cheek 
And a bag full of pastries 
The goodies I bring on the bend 

One last goodbye 
And a turn to my family 
All waving like birds on the fence 
Oh I make my way down 
With a smile, to the market 
Saying good morning 

Good day But oh, when I wake up alone 
There are tears on my pillow 
No use in dreaming today 
But I'm wild I am free 
Like a fire in the dark 
I am turning the key 
And in time I will see 
I have everything 

I want I have all that I need Like a leaf 
In summer dreams 
I'm floating back to you 
Lay with me 
In melodies 
All humming back for you

Love is not a Revolution

Love is not a revolution, 
But you can treat the other to a meal.

vs

愛不是革命,
但可以請對方吃飯。


————————————————
RADWIMPS - カナタハルカ

愛的意義、
它的結構與相對論 
原來我也是這樣幻想的。 
我想知道當我們長大後,
我們是否還能見面,
情歌有幾萬首,
你知道它們的意思嗎? 
但愛不是革命、挫折或天災。 
是你,不知為什麼,
你的笑聲就像是孤獨。 
你唱歌的樣子就像今天的日出,
 幾千年後人類會做什麼。
我想看你用一張無人知曉的臉微笑,
 我沒有它,我是由我沒有的東西組成的。 
你正在塑造我。
當我這麼說的時候你笑了,對吧? 
連那張臉我都想看。
直到今天我一直使用的這顆心只為我自己。
你突然打斷我的話,
造成了極大的麻煩,
還造成了嚴重的交通堵塞。
但後來你意識到我是你現在在宇宙中最想要的人。 
說的話。你說話的聲音就像我母親的哼哼聲。 
你沉默的樣子就像夜的寂靜。
幾萬年後地球會是什麼顏色並不重要。
你看到我帶著一張還沒有人認識的臉微笑,
已經有成百上千了、
我在看,我在聽,
你不知道 “只要你在”“只要你在”。
不管接下來的話語有多可怕, 
 有了這雙手臂,我可以擁抱你
我在你身邊看到的絕望比沒有你的希望更明亮。 
啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦 啦啦啦啦啦啦啦啦。
 不知為什麼,
你笑起來的樣子很像善意。 
 你唱歌的樣子就像今天的淋浴。
 幾千年後人類會做什麼、
 我想看你用一張無人知曉的臉微笑、
 我沒有它,我是由我沒有的東西組成的。 
 你正在塑造我。
 當我尖叫你的名字直到它乾涸、
 如果我能聯絡到你,
我現在就會尖叫。

Why we stay the same (Noah Cyrus - July)

Change means leaving 
the comfort zone.
It requires much effort,
but may not be fruitful.
Somehow it should be tried 
at some points of life.



Noah Cyrus - July (Official Video)

I've been holding my breath
I've been counting to ten
Over something you said
I've been holding back tears
While you're throwing back beers
I'm alone in bed
You know I, I'm afraid of change
Guess that's why we stay the same
So tell me to leave
I'll pack my bags, get on the road
Find someone that loves you
Better than I do, darling, I know
'Cause you remind me every day
I'm not enough, but I still stay
Feels like a lifetime
Just trying to get by while we're dying inside
I've done a lot of things wrong
Loving you being one
But I can't move on
You know I, I'm afraid of change
Guess that's why we stay the same
So tell me to leave
I'll pack my bags, get on the road
Find someone that loves you
Better than I do, darling, I know
'Cause you remind me every day
I'm not enough, but I still stay
If you want me to leave
Then tell me to leave and baby I'll go
You remind me every day
I'm not enough, but I still stay
