"namida no ato wo sungurasu de kakusu tabi ni

sukoshi-zutsu tsuyoku nareru tte shinjite'ta

sonna no okashii tte kidzukidashita

itsumo tsuyogari bakari ijihatte waratte'ru kedo

honto wa ne nakisou de okubyou na pretender"

涙のあとをサングラスで隠す度に

少しづつ強くなれるって信じてた

そんなのおかしいって気付き出した

いつも強がりばかり

意地張って笑ってるけど

ほんとはね

泣きそうで臆病な pretender

"I used to believe that I got a little bit stronger

Every time I hid the traces of my tears with sunglasses

I realize now how strange that is

I’m always smiling, stubbornly pretending I’m fine

I’m actually just a cowardly pretender on the verge of tears"

As old as this song is, it never fails to move me. If you do not know Japanese, you would be fooled into thinking this is a song to relax to. But it is filled with so much introspection from someone who was 17 at the time. This is one of many reasons why I love Utada Hikaru.

Don’t ask me “#Why?" but this ‘ish is not only #Interesting it’s so carefully put together by her #OpeningComments. Same way these dudes seem to tell the truth about what it was, back in their day(s), etc. Especially when #SomeoneLikeMe who knows of #theLady finds out that she was gone some almost #30yrs before my #generation was even thought of— She seems SUPER #authentic.. no matter how you feel about it.”[#SheWasDangerous]’It wouldn’t have been us. Women scare me enough already, for that matter..(🥴) _________________________ 🤔’#MarilynMonroe, huhn.. . _________________________ 'Funny how I had a different woman on my mind earlier this afternoon for other reasons. ..i.e. #SomethingILearned and/or tried to #Master within myself because of’ one of her quotes that struck me at a time where I more than likely needed to hear it.. even tho I was just doing some #LightReading.🥰_ *🤕* Especially when I wake up to fuhkery and music that I don’t even listen to or know really #PlayingInMyHead like I know or like these dudes in any way— _______________ ;#Hey..”👋🏾✌🏾🤙🏾 https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc3oXG7pv6f/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
