[Lyrics] ゆず Yuzu - はるか Haruka

[echowillow]

A beautiful song sang by Yuzu (composed and lyrics written by Kitagawa Yujin) in their latest album [FURUSATO] released last year. I requested the translation from mognet awhile ago just before they closed their doors to requests. It's lovely isn't it?

I know about Kitagawa Yujin from Innocent Love (er, not very fond of that drama), but this song is very nice ^^ I think I like calming, tender songs like these with nice lyrics. Will listen to other Yuzu songs that you post when I have a chance xD.

Innocent Love was... odd =P In truth, I knew about it because Kitagawa Yujin was the lead. But it was good for entertainment sake. I took up a few dramas to watch to keep me occupied during that period, Innocent Love did serve it's purpose well then. haha.

Yuzu lyrics are a bit like V6's. Very inspirational and motivational but more on the 'life' side of things and obviously much more artistic. Iwasawa (the other half of Yuzu) write and compose good songs too. I've found Yuzu to be not everyone's cup of tea, but hope you'll like some of their songs you check out ^_^ thanks!

Yes, that is lovely :) Thanks!

♥ Thank you too!

The lyrics are just beautiful :D They paint really nice pictures and the music helps with the imagery. Not a lot of artists invoke a lot of imagery in their music, so I really liked that about this song. :)

[echowillow]

Love what you said about the imagery. Also it evokes very positive and warm feelings, things about hometown and gratitude which are thoughts to smile about :)

I want to tell you "Thank you" ♥

Such a beautiful one, thanks so much for sharing the translation too. Yuzu always inspires and soothes me.
Love having someone to spazz over Yuzu with on LJ.
Hope you have been well.

hii :) I was so happy to read the translation too (so sad mognet closed their requests otherwise I'd really like to know what 二つの言葉 is about too).

Btw, I came across a FURUSATO con report in English here. So excited to read one XD

Hope you've been well too ♥

Back to comment that I've been really into Yuzu these past days. I absolutely love their simplicity, like the PV Ashita tenki ni naare. It can't get simpler, or more beautiful than that.♥ I agree that their music is also very inspirational, and the lyrics is very beautiful. It's a shame so few songs get translated into English :(.

I like how V6 and Yuzu are so different, but I end up liking them both for the same reasons. ♥

It's nice to hear others enjoying their music and performances too :) Thank you! I agree totally on your take of Ashita tenki ni naare PV, its so warm and simple. It's amazing they can create such an atmosphere with a simple video. Actually, speaking of English translation, I translated this song from the chinese lyrics that came with my discs half a year ago because it's really pretty. Gonna paste it here in case you couldn't find it on the net

Oh my I'm so glad I find someone who take an attention at Yuzu!! I love them like crazy, yet i never find anyone who likes them, at least in my surrounding! xDD
