K - Bump Of Chicken Lyrics~ *romaji, kanji, english*
whoa~ a song entitled "K" from Bump Of Chicken.
there are two version of the animation i guess.. but the version i really like is this:www.youtube.com/watch.
credits to the people behind it. They did quite an excellent job~
..........................
My OWN summary of the story:
From the understanding of nozomicheapz:
Note: you can easily understand the story from the animation for it has an english sub and it was like a "moving storybook"~ but the one i wrote here is quite my own understanding ^^
There was once a nameless and homeless black cat who always wanders around the roadside. He was hated by all mostly children who always throws rocks at him (sort of black cats brings bad luck). One day, a painter came upon the city and saw the cat. He then approached it and held it. The cat then runaway. He was quite unable to believe that someone for the very first time in his life showed him warmth and kindness. As the cat ran away, the painter ran after him. Then, the cat finally softens up and he and the painter got together for about two winters. Both sharing each other their loneliness and happiness together. Then, one day, the painter gave the cat a name (at last). He named him “Holy Night” (For me, it means he named it because Holy Night quite means time to be silent and to be alone or perhaps it means a peaceful night.) The cat then learned to trust the painter for he was the only friend he had.
Then, one very unfortunate day, the poor painter fell ill. While in agony, he gave a letter to the cat saying, that he wrote the letter for his love (perhaps his wife too) that he abandoned to pursue his career and dream in the city. He wanted the cat to give it to her by all means. Due to the warmth and kindness the man showed to the cat, Holy Night didn’t hesitate and showed his fidelity that no matter what happens he will give the letter to the painter’s wife. As he went on his journey, he always thinks about the memories of the painter that had left to him. The warmth and kindness. The love. All. For the painter gave his life a meaning, an obligation given to him that he needed to fulfill no matter what. As he was about a few kilometers away, his body had many injuries and he was attacked by a crowd but even though he was very weak, he didn’t give up. For he was named Holy Night. He then arrived to the house of the painter’s wife, injured and on critical situation for his body was weakened for the injury and fatigue he obtained from his journey. Then, the woman came upon and read the letter. She then added a letter “K” to the cat’s name. Holy Night then died and was buried. The woman changed Holy Night’s name to “Holy Knight” for the cat showed strength,
service and fidelity from his journey that no matter what he should do the obligation given to him by the painter.
Uh, that is my own perception of the story. If it happens to be wrong then forgive me~ I had fun reviewing it though. By reading the comments it had in YouTube, I found that even tough and serious kind of people cried from watching it. I “like” the video and it seems many people really like it^^ This song really showed what a strong bond is~ ^^

Kanji:
週末の大通りを黒猫が歩く
御自慢の鍵尻尾を水平に威風堂々と
その姿から猫は忌み嫌われていた
闇に溶けるその体目掛けて 石を投げられた
孤独には慣れていた寧ろ望んでいた
誰かを思いやる事なんて煩わしくて
そんな猫を抱き上げる若い絵描きの腕
「今晩は素敵なおチビさん 僕らよく似てる」
腕の中もがいて必死で引っ掻いて
孤独という名の逃げ道を
Chorus 1:
走った走った 生まれて初めての
優しさが温もりが まだ信じられなくて
どれだけ逃げたって変わり者は付いて来た
Oh Yeah
それから猫は絵描きと二度目の冬を過ごす
絵描きは友達に名前をやった 「黒き幸」”ホーリーナイト”
彼のスケッチブックはほとんど黒尽くめ
黒猫も初めての友達に くっついて甘えたがある日
貧しい生活に倒れる名付け親
最後の手紙を書くと彼はこう言った
Chorus 2:
「走って走って こいつを届けてくれ
夢を見て飛び出した僕の帰りを待つ恋人へ」
不吉な黒猫の絵など売れないがそれでもアンタは俺だけ描いた
それ故アンタは冷たくなった手紙は確かに受け取った
雪の降る山道を黒猫が走る
今は故き親友との約束をその口に銜えて
「見ろよ、悪魔の使者だ！」石を投げる子供
何とでも呼ぶがいいさ俺には 消えない名前があるくら
「ホーリーナイト」
「聖なる夜」と呼んでくれた
優しさも温もりも全て詰め込んで 呼んでくれた
忌み嫌われた俺にも意味があるとするならば
この日のタメに生まれて来たんだろうどこまでも走るよ
彼は辿り着いた親友の故郷に
恋人の家まであと数キロだ
Chorus 3
走った転んだ すでに満身創痍だ
立ち上がる間もなく襲い来る 罵声と暴力
負けるか俺はホーリーナイト千切れそうな手足を
引き摺りなお走った 見つけた！ この家だ！
手紙を読んだ恋人はもう動かない猫の名に
アルファベット1つ加えて庭に埋めてやった
聖なる騎士を埋めてやった

(from GDAMania)
On a weekend, A black cat walks on the grand street.
Raised its proudest tail horizontally, taking pride in itself.
This kind of cat, is being hated for its appearance.
Dissolve into darkness, aiming to its body, many rocks throw at it.
Already got used to solitude, and prefer lives with solitude,
Being bothered by many, it always feels disturbed.
Then an arm of a young artist, picked up this cat,
“Good Evening, cute little guy. We are very much alike.”
Struggling in his holding arms, desperately pulling away and scratching.
And into an escaping path named solitude.
Chorus 1:
It ran, and it ran, it was the first time in its lifetime
To such kindliness, to such warmth, it still can’t believe it.
And while it keeps escaping, that unique person followed and chasing it.
Since that, this artist and this cat, together and passed their second winter.
This artist, named his friend, “Holy Night”, the Black Happiness”.
In his sketchbook, Almost every page is filled with black.
And for the black cat, it always sticking with its very first friend.
Then on that day...
Collapsed to the life of poverty, the cat’s naming parent falls.
Wrote down his last letter, and he said:
Chorus 2:
"Run, and run...Please go to this person."
"To the place where my lover has always been waiting the dream-searching me to come back..."
The picture of unlucky black cat never sold out any. However, he still keeps drawing me, and me only.
For that reason, his body has become cold. I, definitely accepted his letter.
On the snowy mountain path, the black cat walks.
To fulfill its passed-away friend’s promise, it held the letter with its mouth.
"Hey look! It’s devil’s emissary!" Children throw rocks at it.
It doesn’t matter what they call me. To me, it’s a name that can never be erased.
Holy Night
"Holy Night", That's what i'm called
With all the kindliness and warmth within, that’s what he called me.
To me, who is being hated by others, perhaps it has some meaning to it.
I was born just for this day, I am willing to go anywhere.
He has arrived. The hometown of his best friend. To the home of his lover, only a few kilometers away.
It ran, it tumbled, wounds are all over his body.
All stood up in his case, without any intervals, curses and violence falls on him.
"How can I lose?! I am Holy Night!" Even hands and feet were all tore apart.
Still pushing himself, and still ran. I’ve Found it! This is the house!
To the cat that can't move anymore, this lover
Added one letter to its name, and buried it at the backyard.
The Holy Knight was buried...
