[Lyrics] Akanishi Jin's "care" and "Eternal"
Hi guys, I haven't been around in a long while, I'm sorry about that, babygirl_jj1 has asked me for my translation of "care", so I thought I might as well post Eternal too. Please bear in mind that these translation were done years ago, and I'm posting this quite quickly, so it isn't as thoroughly checked as my usual posts. And I would have included Murasaki but I don't have the translation on hand.
I posted a comparison of the initial performance, and then 4 years later, when it was put into the KAT-TUN album for the first time. There's a tiny but significant difference.

2005.06.19 Akanishi Jin's「care」(Initial SC performance)
2009.04.29 Akanishi Jin's「care」- Song no.# 7 on Break the records -by you & for you- album (Album Version)
Notes:
1) First thing to keep in mind is that, the song is credited as being written by Jin Akanishi and Kazunari Ohno, but as you can see in great detail with screenshots in my The Lies They Tell post, this isn't true at all. Jin says 5 times that he wrote the lyrics himself.
2) As you might have seen by now, there is a small, but significant alteration in the lyrics in the bridge section.
3) Jin sang this song in his 2011 Yellow Gold Tour along with Murasaki, and Eternal. And after breaking away from KAT-TUN, his first single was of Murasaki, and Eternal. Which demonstrates to me that A. he links these songs together i.e they are about the same person and B. he has loved this person for a long time.
Notes:
1) As I point out in the lyrics, originally Jin said this was for a friend's wedding, but obviously, the 'happens once a year' part totally negates that.
2) I'm looking for the original fancam version from Yamapi's Loveless concert, to verify the difference in lyrics, if anyone has it.
Enjoy, please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, if I don't get back to you soon enough, just give me a shout on Twitter. xspaarklingwine
