2 japanese songs about suicide
I made a post about a Hungarian song which made a lot of people commit suicide.(https://songsfromeszti.blogspot.com/2021/05/the-song-with-most-suicide-rate-in.html) Now I want to do the japanese version too. I know it is a very sensitive topic, and I am not promoting suicide. But Hungarians and Japanese also are known for their depressive behaviour.
The first song I want to show is Yoru ni kakeru by Yoasobi. The story of this song is that a boy falls in love with a suicidal girl who admires Thanos ( the god of death) and tries to stop her from commiting suicide.
Its like the sun is setting
Like its melting
And it is just the two of us in the broad night sky
You only said: Byebye
I understood everything with that one word
as the sun started to set
and your shadow overlapped on the fence
From the day I first met you
You stole my whole heart
Your aura was like someone of short life
as you looked at me with those lonely eyes
In a world where the clock is always ticking,
and which is heartless and the tears are overflowing
I am sure we would find normal happiness if it was for us.
For you who cant smile on tumultous days
And for who the sun doesnt rise so bright as they imagined
Look, grab my hand before you fall into the night where the sun sets with no rising again.
Even those days which you want to forget about and just close up in your room
I melt it with the warmness of my hug
It is not scary at all
Lets stay together till the sun comes up.
I hate it when you are watching something only you can see
Like you are lovestruck, like you are falling in love
I hate that face of yours
I want to believe but I cant
No matter what I do
They will come up again and again
And every time I get angry and cry
But still, I am sure that
one day we will understand each other
You say you dont want it anymore and that you are tired
And I recklessly reach for your hand
But you push it away saying
'I dont want this anymore, I am tired'
Actully, I want to say that too
And in the world of never-ending ticking
None of the words I prepared for you reaches you
When I said 'I want to end it all' and went along with you
Thats the first time you smiled at me.
On the troubling days I became unable to smile
Your reflcetion in my eyes is beautiful
And even the overflowing tears dissolves into your smile
You invite me gently towards the ending
Like the sun is setting,
like it is melting
the steamy fog is clearing
On the days when I just want to forget
and just shut myself away
I take your hand as you extend it towards me
It is like the wind is coldly breezing on the night sky
trough our bones
Dont let go of my hand in which I am holding you
the two of us are now running into the night
And the second song is about a singer who wrote a song about hearing a scoolgirl committed suicide.
This singer is called Aimyon, and she was shocked when she heard the news. Suicides are common in Japan, but not everyone reacts the same about them. I tried to gain more information about this but I couldnt find anything. The only thing I know is that it came out in 2017.
The parts in the brackets are spoken.
(I heard the news two days ago saying 'she jumped out and commited suicide'
The sailour uniform was wet with blood, false accusations,
Immediately this area became the prey of the internet
'Please stay back because it is dangerous'
This line sure draws a crowd
People were fooling around and taking pictures like crazy
The red of the blood running down on the cold asphalt )
was truly beautiful
And I started to cry
Started to cry
Outside of the people of the new companies who knew nothing
She was living
she was living
The last 'goodybe' was screamed to herself
nobody else
(The tear she last dropped
The red blood which was the proof of her life
Was wiped away in 2 seconds by adults who knew nothing
The yellow crime-scene tapes
'I have never seen it except in dramas'
These words flutter around
I wonder what on earth is she tinking now in this situation )
somewhere far far away
And I felt like crying
I felt like crying
A days which supposed to be long seems to shimmer
She was living
she was living
When something new is about to happen
People want to disappear? I wonder
'Enjoy your life which is happeing now fully'
What a beautiful sentnce
She took a lot of courage and jumped to the sky
Turning into a bird, grabbing the clouds
Turning into a wind in a far away place
And she jumped with hope
She was living
she was living
When something new is about to happen
People want to disappear? I wonder
She was living
she was living
The last 'goodybe' was screamed to herself
nobody else
