Kana最後のキスはタバコの flavor がした
ニガくてせつない香り

明日の今頃には あなたはどこにいるんだろう
誰を思ってるんだろう

You are always gonna be my love
いつか誰かとまた恋に落ちても
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
今はまだ悲しい love song
新しい歌 歌えるまで

立ち止まる時間が動き出そうとしてる
忘れたくないことばかり wou

明日の今頃には 私はきっと泣いている
あなたを思ってるんだろう yeah yeah yeah

You will always be inside my heart
いつもあなただけの場所があるから
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
今はまだ悲しい love song
新しい歌 歌えるまで

You are always gonna be my love
いつか誰かとまた恋に落ちても
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
まだ悲しい love song

Now and forever･･･(from: http://lyrics.wikia.com/%E5%AE%87%E5%A4%9A%E7%94%B0%E3%83%92%E3%82%AB%E3%83%AB_(Hikaru_Utada):First_Love)
EigoOur last kiss tasted like the cigarette
A sad and bitter fragrance

About this time tomorrow,
Where will you be?
Who will you be thinking of?

You are always gonna be my love
Even if one day I fall in love with someone else
I'll remember to love -- you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
It's still a sad love song
Until I can sing a new one

The paused time
Is about to move
But I don't wish to forget

About this time tomorrow,
I'll may be crying,
Probably thinking about you

You will always be inside my heart
There's always a place just for you, so
I hope that I have a place in your heart, too
Now and forever you are still the one
It's still a sad love song
Until I can sing a new one

You are always gonna be my love
Even if one day I fall in love with someone else
I'll remember to love you taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
It's still a sad love song, yeah

Info:First Love is Hikaru Utada's third japanese language single and is part of her debut album of the same title which happened to be Japan's best selling album of all time.It was released on April 28, 1999 In a 2009 survey by Oricon, asking applicants what song they want to hear with a broken heart, "First Love" was voted in the top 10.
The song itself:Truly it was, the melody of the piano perfectly accentuates the sad lyrics of the song about not being able to move on from your first love. Listening to it relaxes the spirit with the combination of Hikaru's soft voice and the serenading instruments. Although the it is a song of someone who's heartbroken, it actually gives hope that someday she could fall in love with someone else and have a "new song" which is no longer a sad one. It's like the words "First love never dies" made into a chart-topping tear-jerker.
To me...I first encountered this song one time I was listening to a radio program and I immediately fell in love with it and was able to memorize most parts of the song already. At first I though it was a Japanese version of the song "We Belong" by Filipino artist Toni Gonzaga. Try listening here for you to judge. However, the voices were different. Toni's vocals were a bit powerful. It was then I decided to dig deeper about this song and eventually I found out it was a Japanese hit.This song is included in my Bedtime playlist and my sentimental songs list mainly because I find it both relaxing and heart-wrenching. Although I haven't cried in this was just like I do when I hear Good-bye Days, I definitely label this song as a perfect tune for me as I was still not able to move on from my own first love. I repeat... Love. Not the usual flings I have every summer, spring, fall and winter (although these seasons do not exist in my country, oh well, to cut it short, I flirt a lot).I was in high school back then when this song has touched my life but it was only upon my college days that the meaning hit me hard in the face. But anyway, what can I do? I'm a HOPELESS romantic looking for someone who'll be my "new song" :(
