Hideto Matsumoto (Hide) - Always Remembered
Click to view最近僕はシンガポールディスかヴァリーセンターの作業終了したところです。やっと僕は今少し暇になった。僕はまた日本語クラスに行った。今のクラスは昔のと全然同じじゃないんです。ほとんど先輩は次のレベルに前進した。新しいクラスメートが増えました。ほとんど若者ですね。僕の誕生日もそろそろです。３０歳になりそう。３０歳だけどまだ子供っぽいです。このごろ時間があるので、ギターまた弾けます。ギターストリングも錆付くようになってしまいました。ギター弾きながら色々なフラストレーションがあった。私の指は、もう速くなくて、すばしっこくはありませんです。多分、今社会人なので、ギター弾く時間もないし、練習することもできないので、スキルがだんだん悪くなります。
僕はX-JapanのRusty Nail引きながら、もうすぐヒデの命日と気づいた。中学生の時にX-Japanのヒデは僕のヒローになった。僕の人生中一番大切なアイコンでした。いつもギター弾く時に、ヒデーようなスキルになりたかった。２日５月１９９８年、友達によると、ヒデは亡くなったニュース聞いた後、本当に悲しくなりました。その時に、涙も落ちた。何故か？僕は知らないけど、彼は私がギターを弾く感化を与える大切な人の一人でした。He is gone but he will never be forgotten.ところで、ヨシキのブログによると、X-Japanは再び組むかもしれない。
その日まで楽しみしています。
以下の歌は僕一番好きな歌です。ヒデ最高！翻訳ツール使わないで歌詞を翻訳しました！(〃￣ω￣〃)
ヒデ「１２月１３日１９６４年ー５月２日１９９８」
Rusty Nail
作詞 & 作曲: Yoshiki
記憶の欠片に 描いたバラを見つめて
In the fragments of my memories, I stared at a painted rose
途切れた想いで 重ねる変わらない夢に
In the interrupted thoughts, the unchangeable dream piles up
Oh- Rusty Nail
どれだけ涙を流せば
How long should my tears flow
貴方を忘れられるだろう
I probably can forget about you
Just tell me my life
どこまで歩いてみても
Even if I try to walk to wherever
涙で明日が見えない
Because of my tears, I cannot see tomorrow
上昇に終わった 週末の傷忘れて
End for the rise, I forget the scars of weekend
流れる時に抱かれても 胸に突き刺さる
During the period of flow, even if I hold it, my heart is pierced
Oh- Rusty Nail
どれだけ涙を流せば
How long should my tears flow
貴方を忘れられるだろう
I probably can forget about you
美しく色あせて眠るバラを
Beautifully, the rose falling asleep fades,
貴方の心に咲かせて
Let your heart bloom
I can die, I can live
I can die to set me free
Day and Night, Night and Day
I wanna live to set me free
I can die, I can live
I can die to set me free
Day and Night, Night and Day
I wanna live to set me free
素顔のままで 生きて行ければ きっと
It is possible to live with this unchanging face, surely
瞳に映る夜は輝く夢だけ残して
The night which is reflected in the eye, only the dream that shines is left out
朝を迎える 孤独を忘れて
I welcome the dawn, I forget about loneliness
赤い手首を抱きしめて泣いた
I embrace my red wrist and I cried
夜を終わらせた
Let the night end
記憶の扉を閉ざしたままで震えて
I tremble with the door of the memory shut
途切れて想いを重ねる 青い唇に
The interrupted dreams pile up in my blue lips
Oh- Rusty Nail!
どれだけ涙を流せば
How long should my tears flow
貴方を忘れられるだろう
I probably can forget about you
Just tell me my life
どこまで歩いてみても
Even if I try to walk to wherever
涙で明日が見えない
Because of my tears, I cannot see tomorrow
Recently I just finished a busy week of project with Singapore Discovery Centre…. Finally I managed to get little extra time for myself recently….Attended my Japanese class once again…. The current class is a total different one compared to my previous classes…. More new classmates joined my current class with a majority of them being students…. It makes me feel kind of old amongst them….Ahh not forgetting that my own birthday is round the corner…. Happy birthday Bennett? ….30 soon and still like a fucken kid….I took the precious free time which I had recently to play my guitars again….My acoustic strings got fucken rusty again….I guess it’s time for a change….While playing my electric guitar, I met with many frustrations, because my fingers were no longer fast and nimble, and normally melodic strums are no longer melodic because due to lack of practice…..I guess as I grow older, with the lack of practice, I can no longer be good at this thing…..
Well the songs I recently tried playing were Rusty Nails by X Japan, In Silence by Luna Sea and Ryuichi Kawamura’s Se-tsu-na….Tried to play Scars by X Japan as well but I simply can’t keep up with the actual recording…..
Cleaned up my room as well and I managed to find some live concert of X Japan and Luna Sea in DVD…. While watching them, I realized that in a few days’ time, next week in fact, on 2nd of May, it is the 9th year death anniversary of Hide….Time flies….He was and still is one of my favorite guitarist. Sugizo is my fave as well but Hide’s does more impressive solo riffs….
Read Yoshiki’s blog and found out that X Japan might come together again….Hopefully this comes true!... There is not a single band close to being as good as X Japan and Luna Sea now. Dir en grey maybe. But X Japan and Luna Sea are the legends!.....Yoshiki please revive X Japan!!!!.....I am at the moment waiting for Yoshiki’s Violet UK project to be up as well….
Going to leave the lyrics of a song which is my favourite from X Japan….The 1 piece which I can still play well on my electric guitar as well….Enjoy….
