KAT-TUN with Lips

I'm not actually a fan of Kat-tun but one of the admin is. *read as: tiny น่ารัก. Although, I'm a little bias when it comes to Kamenashi Kazuya and Akanishi Jin.haha That's why I'm posting some rare finds I've come across.

This song is a little old but I like how this song rocks. I just discovered this while browsing through some of my Jpop compilation. The PV is absolute love too..Kame is smokin in this. hahaha Oops, I'm a little bias again. But see to appreciate.

Just a bit of a history check to show how awesome this song has been.

From wikipedia:

"Lips" is the sixth single by Japanese boy band, KAT-TUN, and the third and last song to be commercially released from their third studio album, KAT-TUN III -Queen of Pirates-. The single was released in three editions and as such, there are three different covers; the regular edition contains the title track, the B-side and its instrumental tracks, the first press edition came with a bonus track entitled "Message for You" and its instrumental version and the second limited edition was packaged with a DVD with the music video and a short film about the making of the PV.

The single was released on February 26, 2008 and became KAT-TUN's sixth consecutive number 1 single on the Oricon weekly singles charts & LIPS is the 9th most sold single in 2008 according to Oricon .

LIPS

Love 君の未来
二つに分かれて… Lips

電話鳴り続けた
家を抜け出してた
どこで君に逢える？
伝えたいことばかり

なぜ逢えば逢うほどに
心はちぎれそうになる
Every Time

その赤く染まるLips (クチビル)
近づけて壊したい
激しく
そのままで そのままで
自分だけ責めないで
この手を離さないで

だけど傷つけたね
不意に君が泣いた
"ごめん" 優しい雨が
迷う二人濡らす

もう一人きりじゃない
こんなに心奪われた
All of you

その赤く染まるLips (クチビル)
近づけて壊したい
激しく
めぐりめぐる季節が
君だけを変えてゆく
この手を離さないで

[rap]
"I need da kiss"から始まるLips その魅惑のLips
Hittin' da heart. This is a sick

なぜ逢えば逢うほどに
心はちぎれそうになる
Every Time

その赤く染まるLips (クチビル)
近づけて壊したい
激しく
そのままで そのままで
自分だけ責めないで
この手を離さないで

LOVE kimi no mirai
futatsu ni wakarete.. Lips

Denwa nari tsuzuketa
ie wo nuke dashiteta
Doko de kimi ni aeru
tsutaetai koto bakari

Naze aeba auhodo ni
kokoro wa chigiresou ni naru
Every time

Sono akaku somaru kuchibiru
chikazukete kowashitai
hageshiku
Sono mama de sono mama de
jibun dake semenai de
kono te wo hanasanai de

Dakedo kizutsuketa ne
Fui ni kimi ga naita
Gomen yasashii ame ga
Mayou futari nurasu

Mou hitori kiri ja nai
konna ni kokoro ubawareta
All of you

Sono akaku somaru kuchibiru
chikazukete kowashitai
hageshiku
Meguri meguru kisetsu ga
kimi dake wo kaete yuku
kono te wo hanasanaide

[rap]
"I need da kiss" kara hajimaru Lips sono meiwaku no Lips
Hittin' da heart, this is a sick

Naze aeba auhodo ni
kokoro wa chigiresou ni naru
Every time

Sono akaku somaru kuchibiru
chikazukete kowashitai
hageshiku
Sono mama de sono mama de
jibun dake semenai de
kono te wo hanasanai de

LIPS - Lyrics translation

The phone continued ringing
As I left home

Where can I meet you
I just want to tell you some things

Why is it that the more we meet
My heart feels as though its about to be torn apart
(It feels like that) Everytime

Those red dyed lips
I want to go closer and break it*
Intensely

Like that, like that
Don’t blame only yourself like that
Don’t let go of this (my) hand

But hey, I noticed
Suddenly, you were crying
I'm sorry
The gentle rain, soaked the two of us who had lost our way

I am not alone anymore
My heart has gotten completely stolen away
(By) All of you

Those red dyed lips
I want to go closer and break it*
Intensely

The seasons which came and went
Only managed to change you
Don’t let go of this (my) hand

Why is it that the more we meet
My heart feels as though its about to be torn apart
(It feels like that) Everytime

Those red dyed lips
I want to go closer and break it*
Intensely

Like that, like that
Don’t blame only yourself like that
Don’t let go of this (my) hand
