One of SMAP’s singles, Sotto Kyutto – Gently, Tightly
Lin Chi Ling, the no. 1 model and beauty in Taiwan and possibly the entire Chinese population, is the female lead of this MV. She is also going to act in a drama series with Takuya Kimura, Tsuki no Koibito aka Moon Lovers, where she is supposedly an ugly duckling turn model. The series will begin its run from May 10, 2010 on Fuji TV and I am looking forward to it!
Other main leads include Ryoko Shinohara, Keiko Kitagawa (Buzzer Beat) and Shota Matsuda (Liar Game) and there is going to be a 5-way romance among this 5 leads.
Back to this song, it was the ending song of another drama – Ninkyo Helper – starring Kusanagi Tsuyoshi, one of SMAP members. Translation as per below:
Gently, Tightly
When I have such an important, important person like you by my side
The ordinary everyday becomes colourful
Together under an umberella, listening carefully
The sound of the rain like a song, it’s calling for a break in the weather
Halting and trying waiting in silence
There’s a new me and I’m at loss
Gently I grasp your hand, gently, tightly
And your hand squeezes back, gently, tightly
If time doesn’t repeat itself but drifts away
The fact that you are beside me now, it’s a miracle
If a mischievous god took you away…
When I think about it I get very scared
I try to make you laugh by attempting to joke around
I’m not used to this kind of thing, it gets funny
Gently I try gazing at your eyes, gently, for a long time
The look in your eyes illuminates the darkness within me
Let’s take the long way around for a little and return home slowly
Before long, the ordinary today, too, will become a grain of a memory
Gently I grasp your hand, gently, tightly
Again your hand squeezes back, gently, tightly
If time doesn’t repeat itself but drifts away
The fact that you are beside me now, it’s a miracle
そっときゅっと
大切な 大切な キミがそばにいて
ありふれた毎日が カラフルになる
傘の中 ふたりして 耳をすましてる
雨音を 歌にして 晴れ間を呼んでる
立ち止まり 静かに待ってみたりとか
新しい自分がいて 戸惑うけれど
そっと キミの手を握りしめる そっと きゅっと
ただ キミの手が握りかえす そっと きゅっと
時は繰り返すことなく 流れ去るものなら
今キミがそばにいること それは そう奇跡だ
いたずらな 神様が キミを連れてったら･･･
そんなこと 考えて とても怖くなる
笑わせてみようと おどけてみたり
慣れてない自分がいて 可笑しくなるよ
そっと キミの瞳を見つめてみる そっと ずっと
その まなざしは ボクの奥の 闇を てらす
少し寄り道をしていこう ゆっくり帰ろうよ
ありふれた今日も やがては 思い出の粒だよ
キミの手を握りしめる そっと きゅっと
また キミの手が握り返す そっと きゅっと
時は繰り返すことなく 流れ去るものなら
今キミがそばにいること それは そう奇跡だ
