Utada Hikaru - Beautiful World

Utada Hikaru - Beautiful World
Beautiful World by Utada Hikaru is the theme song of the new Rebuild of Evangelion movie. I personally think that it’s her best and most awesome song ever, but maybe the relationship to Evangelion is clouding my judgement. I fell in love with this song after watching the movie trailer on YouTube. Hikki performed this song live on yesterday’s Music Station. I translated the lyrics, available here. Why do I always start translating things when my exams draw close? Sigh.

Beautiful World
Utada Hikaru
It’s only love
*moshimo negai hitotsu dake kanau nara
kimi no soba de nemurasete donna basho demo ii yo
Beautiful world
mayowazu kimi dake wo mitsumeteiru
Beautiful boy
jibun no utsukushisa mada shiranai no
It’s only love
netemo sametemo shounen manga
yume mite bakka jibun ga suki jyanai no
nani ga hoshii ka wakaranakute
tada hoshigatte nurui namida ga hoo wo tsutau
iitai koto nanka nai
tada mouichido aitai
iitai koto ienai
konjou nashi kamoshirenai
sorede ii kedo
(*repeat)
It’s only love
donna koto demo yatte mite
son wo shitatte sukoshi keikenchi agaru
shinbun nanka iranai
kanjin na koto ga nottenai
saikin choushi doudai?
genki ni shiteru nara
betsu ni ii kedo
boku no sekai kieru made aenu nara
kimi no soba de nemurasete donna basho demo kekkou
Beautiful world
hakanaku sugiteyuku hibi no naka de
Beautiful boy
kibun no mura wa shikatanai ne
moshimo negai hitotsu dake kanau nara
kimi no soba de nemurasete

Errr… do you not know that “Paprika” was shown in the Cathay Cinemas a few months back? Along with Brave Story????
I do not hope much from Singapore threathers but, lets not slack them off too much.
“ghost in the shell” was release back when Singapore first started their R21 ratings, and with that in mind, everything then was subjected to that rating. Very few stuff passed.
As for the recent Studio Ghibli Flim, it wasnt shown because it wasn’t an oringal creation by Hayao Miyazaki. It was done by his son with him only over seeing the project. And with the sales of ‘the cat returns’, Singapore Cinemas didn’t find the point to bring the anime here. Unlike ‘Howel’s moving Castle’ which was done orignally buy Hayao Miyazaki.

Why do I always get the sinking feeling that Beautiful World’s lyrics are directed at Shinji by one of the male cast, especially with the ‘boku’ in there?
