On the World of Values in Hannah Arendt

My dearest

Why don't we listen

For the voices of the wind?

On a cold hill

In Umegaoka

It blows from nowhere

Telling me restlessly

That our love may go astray

My dearest...

Why don't we Listen for the voices of the wind

See how vivid

The lingering snow looks

What blows over it

Is an everlasting

Gentle wind

To Ms. Chiaki Minase

Oh, there is something there

That looks trembling

Oh, my dearest

It's too immature

To call it love

Yet it's too awkward to Call it friendship

Our hearts are

At the mercy of the wind

Out of nowhere it brings An eternal feeling

On the World of Values in Hannah Arendt

That resembles noble sadness

An Inquiry into the Good by Kitaro Nishida

My dearest Chiaki

Let's take a walk together quietly

Let me hold the sleeve of your Yukata

And tell you a fairy tale

But you're looking away

Watching only fireflies

My dearest Chiaki

At dusk of the early summer

Putting my arm around your shoulder

I never feel lonely

Nothing makes me lonely

I never

Feel sad

Nothing makes me sad

If you're a man

Even if you make an enemy

Of the whole world

There're times

When you must fight

There's

Nobody

You can count on

Because

This world might

Turn against you

And deny

Everything

About you

At that moment

How do you fight your way?

Faith is

Mother Teresa visits Japan. Unseen

Trading and a Letter of Credit Love is easily broken

Dream is fragile, but still...

You have to go the distance

If you're a man, fight it out

Sage Ninomiya's Evening Talks

You must not lose

Operation Manual: I. General Theory

Because you have a mission

There must be someone

Who believes,

Supports, and loves you forever

Somewhere in the universe

But if you're a man...

New York, 1982

Ah ha ha Ah ha ha This is the Big Apple

I came here

This is the Big Apple Oh oh

I love New York I love New York

Because this city changed my life

If you imagine A spotlight from the universe

It certainly hits New York

With eight million people Having each story to tell

Life has ups and downs

People from all over America

Full of ambition to make it to the top

Gather like

Wild animals

Keep fighting In this concrete jungle

People from Asia, Africa Europe, and Australia

Become New Yorkers

The desperate battle continues

I have to survive

In this jungle

If I fall, no one cares

If I give in to the pressure That's only as far as I can go

Are you afraid of Caucasians?

Are you afraid of Harvard?

You think you can survive in this city Being afraid of them?

You can't be intimidated

By blonde Caucasian women

Fight it out if you're a man

Keep your heart unbreakable

Tiger, it's your mission

A Japanese tiger

Run through this city

Climb up to the top Of the Empire State Building

Beat King Kong

Ah Ah

Dear Satoru, Long time no see. We're doing well.

Please take care. Love, Mom.

Buddha

Ah, I live my life with faith in you

It's so fragile

So hard

So vain

If I am allowed to

Do what I could do

At all cost

I will devote my life

To you

Let my love

Burn inside

How could my longing

Possibly be your obstacle?

Oh no

I can't forgive myself

Ah Ah Ah I have to let go of my love

That must be

The way

I have to

Choose

No matter where I am in this world

My soul

Will be

Always with you

Guiding your way

That was

And that is

A very harsh path

No one understands me

Not even my best friends

Not even my family

Not even my girlfriend

No one understands me

I must go with myself

I must go with myself

How could I tell anyone

How tough it is

I am all alone

Training myself over and over

I must walk this path alone

From the midnight darkness

I come out

Believing

Daybreak will come

I must go with myself

I am lonely

I feel loneliness

I must go with myself

When I walk alone

No one knows my loneliness

Father, Mother, Brother

My colleagues, my boss

My beloved

You'll only see me from a distance

As I gradually

Fade out of your sight

In the dark before daybreak

Not knowing where I go Or which path I take

Which river I swim across

Whether I attain the enlightenment

I never know

The future is not yet to be seen

Be persistent

Be indomitable

That is how I must live

Only my will can help

And encourage me

All I can do is just to walk

Toward daybreak

Yes, for sure

The sun shall rise again

The sun shall rise again

Ah Ah Ah

My twiceborn will come

I believe it will

Ah Ah Ah Ah
