Kiroro - Himawari ひまわり

This is the first Japanese song that I love.  I was introduced to this song by my Jap 10 teacher, Sinogaya-sensei.  We look forward to the end of the class not because we want to go home, but because we wanted to sing this song.

Kiroro is a female duo composed of Chiharu Tamashiro on vocals, and Ayano Kinjō on keyboards.  I just love the melody and the lyrics of the song.  I hope you enjoy this as much as I do.

Himawari Lyrics

Kiroro

Nazeka kuyashikute fuan ni natteta

Anata to deatte omotteru koto wo

Umaku hiyoogen dekinai koto ga

Hontoo no Kimochi wo mune ni kakushiteta

Hitori no yoru nemurenakute anata no koto wo kangaeru

Ashita ni nareba taiyoo ni mukatte saku ano himawari no yoo ni

Watashi mo ippai no egao de anata ni ai ni yuku wa

Hijootenmetsu wo tsuppashitteta

Nayandeiru no wa watashi dake ja nai

Kitto anaji kimochi de ashita wo kowagatte

Utsumuiteru ko mo iru hazu yo

Namida wo fuite yuuki wakete agerareru hito ni naritai

Kanarazu itsuka mitsukeru anata to ichiban taisetsuna mono wo

Tsumazuite koronde mo egao de tsukende miseru kara

(ah, ah...)

Ashita ni nareba taiyoo ni mukatte saku ano himawari no yoo ni

Watashi mo ippai no egao de anata ni ai ni yuku wa

Kanarazu itsuka mitsukeru anata to ichiban taisetsuna mono wo

Tsumazuite koronde mo egao de tsukande miseru kara
