I love this song very, very, very much, so much so that I think my heart will break and explode and shatter and then I'll die - it's such a heartbreaking song, and I literally cried when I read the translation. It still pains me even now, every time I hear this song, because it is just so sad, yet emotionally beautiful. Takuya always writes powerful, meaningful lyrics - he really has this talent. The music also WINS! Kudos to UVERworld. Keep making great music!

TRANSLATION
Until the end, I even had to lie, trying to become alone.
Everything became unbearable because I knew too much about myself.
Since when, I wonder, have I been trying to run away?
Even though it was nothing, the sadness I felt was intolerable.
In this age, the truth was I had nothing to live for.
I don't want to lose you, who are so important to me, so I conceal my true self and try fix it, continuing forward.
But I know I'll lose you one day, that's why it's frustrating.
If I were an actor, a multi-millionaire or a big star in the television
That would satisfy you right? And it would make you happy right?
But I only think of you I only think of you
Trying to tell you these feelings, I stop and look at the sky.
The uncertainty of using an umbrella in a light rain, in a way it mirrors myself.
While resigning going on living everyday, anything I did was painful.
More than anyone else, I want to be loved, but it was for your sake that I tried to become alone.
These feelings I want to tell you are overflowing, yet the more I try to put into words, the more it gets mistaken.
That's why is so frustrating.
I wish for nothing but happiness, but it seems to make me the saddest all together.
I didn't had confidence, if I could I would live alone.
But I can't let go of you, why I can't I let go of you?
But this unrestrainable feeling of understanding that I'm not alone
When I realized it, why did I start to cry, I wonder?
If you look clearly, the blue sky isn't blue at all.
This complexity, in a way it is projected in my heart.
Riding a boat towards the future, I move backwards with each push of the oar.
I can't see behind me as I advance, but if you sit facing me and watch as we move together,
wherever we are, our struggles won't seem like struggles.
If we imagine the future, I can only see happiness.
I love you so much, if you choose me I'll never let you go.
As the days of the year pass, and words lose their meaning,
and when you also forget our time together,
Taking your hand as usual, supporting you even as you continue changing,
Having a discussion with our hearts until the end, giving you a gentile protection
I'll think of you forever, I'll think of you until the end.
I'll make you feel like you are not alone.
No mater how much I analyze words, or how strong an image I imagine,
I never knew what it was like to be alone.
The love that I have been searching for is you.
OVER
I'll overcome anyone OVER
Don't leave me all alone OVER
Now, I'll overcome everything OVER
