These two songs have been stuck in my head today:


Around 2005 my Japanese penpal became enamoured of the Hana yori Dango live action series. I tried to download it to watch in solidarity but in those dial-up days it just wasn't happening. I did learn a few of the songs, though, including this one.


Losing your head / shedding a tear / losing your mind / getting a tip from a fool / 'Hey man, remember to keep your cool!' / Well, thanks a lot for that...

EDIT this is actually an awful video. The song is about 2 young motorists driving in opposite directions, who by happenstance meet in passing and have sex in a wheat field, then continue on to their usual lives. Incredibly romantic.

I just posted this for the song.

Fun performance with super cringe-y lyrics:



Now look at the man in the mirror
Is he a winner? Or just a story teller?
You are the only one who knows your errors
Embrace your memory, accept your history
Be strong


Less fun performance with slightly less cringe-y lyrics:



I'm not strong
My mind wanders to dark places
Honestly, “Just stop, just stop”
The more I think that, the more I spiral
So it still won't leave my head
I get frustrated, tangled in these chains
Hoping for some divine intervention
Losing sight of it all—what even started this?

But I'm not weak
Even when it seems pitch black
I believe, I just keep moving forward
Not scared—more like it's not even on my radar
Not going is ten times scarier
Painful, tough, apparently, of course
I stopped feeling it ages ago
Or rather
Honestly, maybe I never felt it at all
Tears might flow, blood might spill, but

I go, using my body as a shield, sometimes taking up a weapon
Just slash, focus relentlessly, I should be able to...
I feel it, my own powerlessness and foolishness, painfully so.
I know it, that's where it starts. I must surpass myself, surpass myself.

BE STRONG
Accept weakness and live.
Because that's also a part of me.
BE STRONG
Face it, face it.
The strength I've gained, I'll strike out with it.

Yeah, I'm not strong.
I get shocked.
My heart wobbles and shakes.
But I can say, “That's right.”
I accept my true form.
Always looking up
The ceiling is still high
Above that is the penthouse
Above that is the sky, the universe—I know it's there
So first, keep your feet on the ground

Go. Weak, but not weak. Carry the contradiction and run again
How far can I become strong? Pursue ideals, reality
See. Ride it. My own way. Neither slow nor fast
Speed. Did I catch the flow?
No, not yet...

BE STRONG
Accept weakness and live
Because that's part of me too
BE STRONG

Face it, face it
The strength I gained, I'll unleash it

BE STRONG
Accept weakness and live
Because that's part of me too
BE STRONG
Facing it, I gained
BE STRONG
The strength I gained
BE STRONG
I'll unleash it without holding back


(My brain is not translating today or even thinking about translation so I just plonked it into Deepl :mrgreen: it is going to be dumb.)

Cet air qui m'obsède jour et nuit
Cet air n'est pas né d'aujourd'hui
Il vient d'aussi loin que je viens
Traîné par cent mille musiciens

Un jour cet air me rendra folle
Cent fois j'ai voulu dire pourquoi
Mais il m'a coupé la parole
Il parle toujours avant moi
Et sa voix couvre ma voix

Padam, padam, padam
Il arrive en courant derrière moi
Padam, padam, padam
Il me fait le coup du souviens-toi
Padam, padam, padam
C'est un air qui me montre du doigt
Et je traîne après moi comme une drôle d'erreur
Cet air qui sait tout par cœur

Il dit, rappelle-toi tes amours
Rappelle-toi puisque c'est ton tour
Y a pas d'raison pour qu'tu n'pleures pas
Avec tes souvenirs sur les bras

Et moi je revois ceux qui restent
Mes vingt ans font battre tambour
Je vois s'entrebattre des gestes
Toute la comédie des amours
Sur cet air qui va toujours

Padam, padam, padam
Des je t'aime de 14 juillet
Padam, padam, padam
Des toujours qu'on achète au rabais
Padam, padam, padam

Des veux-tu en voilà par paquets
Et tout ça pour tomber juste au coin d'la rue
Sur l'air qui m'a reconnue

Écoutez le chahut qu'il me fait
Comme si tout mon passé défilait
Faut garder du chagrin pour après
J'en ai tout un solfège sur cet air qui bat
Qui bat comme un cœur de bois
