A fast read before the full lyric

track where the Japanese lyrics trace the stubborn pull of a love that won't fade.

It circles the same few questions, 'Is it my fault?' 'Is it yours?', without ever landing an answer.

The phrase "Konna ni mo wasuretakute anata no subete o", 'Even though I want to forget you this much, all of you', holds the song's central contradiction.

Editor's note

S.E.S. W/O/U and the ache of memory

A late-career S.E.S. track where the Japanese lyrics trace the stubborn pull of a love that won't fade.

"Konna ni mo wasuretakute anata no subete o"

The lyric works by refusing resolution. It circles the same few questions, 'Is it my fault?' 'Is it yours?', without ever landing an answer.

The phrase "Konna ni mo wasuretakute anata no subete o", 'Even though I want to forget you this much, all of you', holds the song's central contradiction. It's not about moving on; it's about being stuck with the vivid, unwanted detail of someone who's already left. The memory keeps replaying, and the singer keeps asking whose fault that really is.

It captures the specific frustration of a memory that won't dull, no matter how badly you want it to. The wanting to forget and the inability to do so sit right next to each other.

The way the English phrase "I'm nothing without you" cuts through the Japanese verses feels like a sudden, plain admission.

Akari ga sora o sebameru zattou no sukima o terasu

Itsumo to onaji keshiki ni kyou wa hitori najimenai

Surechigau egao wa minna shiawase shitteru mitai

Nani mo wakaranaku natta no tonari ni anata ga inai kara

Shinjiteta eien wa aru to zutto

Kanjiteta sono te no nukumori o ima mo

Konna ni mo wasuretakute anata no subete o

Omoikaeshite shimau nante mata suki ni natteku nante

Watashi no sei na no ne? I know I'm nothing without you

I'm flying to you moshimo yurusareru nara kibou to iu na no tsubasa de ano hi e kaeru noni

I'm flying to you koko kara hajimaru no uso mo kumori mo nai massara na mama ni iku yo

I wanna be true

Katte na koto bakari itte komarasete tanoshindeta

"Soredemo soba ni ite kureru?" sono kimochi tashikameteta

Hontou no ai o oshiete yogoreru sube o shiranakatta

Shiroku kirei na sono kokoro o kizutsuketa no wa watashi na no?

Wagamama ya ijiwaru na koto de shika itsumo

Kono kimochi o tsutaerarezu ni ita soshite

Konna ni mo wasuretakute anata no subete o

Omoikaeshite shimau nante mata suki ni natteku nante

Anata no sei na no yo? I'm sure I'm nothing without you

I'm flying to you moshimo yurusareru nara kibou to iu na no tsubasa de ano hi e kaeru noni

I'm flying to you koko kara hajimaru no uso mo kumori mo nai massara na mama ni iku yo

I wanna be true

When I turn the corner, must be an answer, though I still wonder from the top of a tower

You were like a dreamer or a beautiful flower, we were together but it's no no no no longer

My lonely tears knocking on your door whenever I'm standing all alone in the center

You just remember and now I can swear, I love you forever and ever and more...

I'm flying to you moshimo yurusareru nara kibou to iu na no tsubasa de ano hi e kaeru noni

I'm flying to you koko kara hajimaru no uso mo kumori mo nai massara na mama ni iku yo

I wanna be true, I wanna be true, I wanna be true...I'm gonna be true to you...
