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
