みなさんに

明日が来ることは奇跡です。

それを知ってるだけで、日常は幸せなことだらけで

あふれてます。

Translation: "Tomorrow that comes to us is a miracle. Simply knowing that, it fills my everyday with joy." - Chie Nagashima

There are times in our lives where life itself gets too hectic and we just wished that everything would go away and that life would just leave us alone. Hence, we take tomorrow for granted.

Should we pause to think what if tomorrow never come? What if today is our last day here? What if we go to sleep tonight and we'll never wake up again?

I recently watched a movie entitled, 余命1ヶ月の花嫁 (Yomei Ikkagetsu no Hanayome) or better known as April Bride. It's a movie based on a true story of a brave Japanese girl, named Chie Nagashima who had to fight breast cancer at the very young age of 24. Chie invited a TV crew into her life to film her during her most vulnerable moments. She was determined to educate young women her age, that breast cancer is a disease that is not just associated with old age. Chie 's story was told in a 2007 TBS documentary. Another touching part of the story is seeing how her boyfriend, Taro Akasu played an important part throughout this whole ordeal.



The ending theme for this movie, 明日がくるなら (If Tomorrow Comes) sung by JUJU feat. JAY’ED is an amazing track that portrays the relationship shared by Chie and Taro. Fell in love with this song the moment I heard it.



Translated version: 明日がくるなら (If Tomorrow Comes)

さよならは　言わないでおくよ
I won’t leave with a goodbye
だって　目を閉じるたびに　映るよ　いつもの　君が
Because I’ll see you everytime I close my eyes

* 明日がくるなら　何もいらないよ　ただ君だけに
If tomorrow comes then I don’t need anything
笑っててほしいから　いつでも
I just want you to keep on smiling forever

言わないでよ　まだもっと　君に触れていたいよ
Don’t say it, I still want to feel your touch
口にしたら　何か壊れそうで
If you say it, I feel like I’ll fall apart
繋いでる　手のぬくもりだけ　確かめてた
So all I could do is feel the warmth as I held your hand

止まらない時間が　いつかふたり引き離すなら
Time won’t stop and will tear us apart someday
もっと　君　見てたいよ　ずっと　抱きしめてたいよ
I want to watch you more and hold you in my arms forever
Time is slipping away

Repeat*

泣かないでね　まだちょっと君といられるから
Don’t cry, we have a little more time left together
伝えたいこと　まだ　ひとつも
And there’s still something I want to tell you
言葉では　うまく言えないけれど
Though I find it hard to put into words,
stand by me

こぼれてく時間はいつも　二人寂しく させるから
As time slips away it makes us both feel lonely
そっと微笑んでみるよ　も う　離したくないから
So I’ll try softly smiling, I don’t ever want to leave you
Livin’ life for today

Repeat *

君に逢うためだけに　生まれてきたのなら
If I was only born so that we could meet
焼き付けたい
Then I want to remember
every moment in my heart
一秒でもいい　あと少し
Even if it’s just for a second more
君のそばにいさせて
Let me stay by your side

明日がくるなら　何もいらないよ　ただ君 だけに
If tomorrow comes then I don’t need anything
笑っててほしいから
I just want you to keep on smiling,
forever more

Repeat *

さ よならは　言わないでおくよ
I won’t leave with a goodbye
