You're welcome! <3 I was really eager to work on them ever since I saw their TV performance of the song. I thought, "The lyrics of this song should be out there for people to know because it's just so wonderful and heartfelt." I tried my best and I hope I was able to deliver it well. I'll probably revise parts of it if I think of an even better way to deliver them, hehe.

Right? ;v; I hope he's been able to talk and engage with them even through remote means albeit it'll always be different from having them around in the same place and space...

My first impression of the line I translated into "Songs (lives) that departed on a journey" is that he's possibly bringing to mind those who have passed on and that those individuals are comparable to "songs that'll bloom within people's hearts." Departed here can also be "to go on a trip/to embark" and I think that's really beautiful

"also made us go on our own new journeys, departing the old, onwards to the new" Indeed (^^)

The whole planet/star/sun imagery you're seeing is just <3 It brings to mind what we've also heard from Love Faders, hehe :")

You're welcome, maggie <3

That's the power of music and, of course, of KinKi Kids <3 I understand where you're coming from. I personally think it's because when they perform their songs, there's so much emotion to it, so many feelings involved. Even if they're not "loud" about it, you can tell from the way they sing and perform that what they're singing about goes beyond what we hear from them - their songs resonate to that which not only the eyes see and the ears hear, but even the heart feels :")

I'm so sorry to hear about that... Indeed, all the negative events we've all been put through especially in the past year have changed so much of what we've perceived as the norm. Every day is a struggle and now even more so than before. I agree with everything you've mentioned - sacrifice to save, to love, and to hope and finally, to look forward with inspiration.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me. Getting to read them has added again another layer of depth to the lyrics Tsuyoshi has written and given to us <3

The way you phrased it was beautiful "what they're singing about goes beyond what we hear from them" exactly my thoughts, tbh, there's a few singers/ artists I know with that "power" and of course kinki is one of them, that's what make them special (among other things) <3

Yeah, 2020 was a very tough year indeed but let's try to see the positive. Thank you so much for your words, I'm also cheering for you. Lots of love <3
