#friend mining

So I got Heart Mining yesterday and all the songs are so!!!

Most interesting lyric wise though, I felt Friend Mining was, bc apparently it’s been hinted Hiro wrote this for Daichan. Also it’s REALLY different as an access song with acoustic guitar and stuff, it’s almost a bit Rin-esque.

And when stuff sounds like a Rin ballad, I’ve learnt the lyrics are usually super poignant.

I was right.

So, without further ado, Friend Mining, from access album Heart Mining:

ねえ聞いてよ　聞いておくれよ　なんだか最近思うよ

nee kite yo kite okure yo nandaka saikin omou yo

Hey, listen, please listen, there's a thing I've been thinking about a little, recently.

改めて言うことかなって　思ったりもするんだけど

aramete iu koto ga natte omottari mo surunda kedo

There's a thing I've been thinking should be said again I guess…

気づけば随分遠く　歩いて来たんだね

kidzukeba zuibun tooku aruite kitanda ne

You might have noticed we've gotten pretty far, right,

相変わらず今日だって　こうしてそばで

aikawarazu kyo datte koushite soba de

but today, I'm still close to you like this,

歌っているって　きっと凄いことだね?

utatte irutte kitto sugoi koto da ne

singing, surely that's an amazing thing, right?

少しくらい　そりゃ少しくらい　他の人よりビビッとくる

sukoshi kurai sorya skoshi kurai hoka no hito yori bibitto kuru

Just a little, well at least as much that it becomes vivid to other people,

知っているよ　お互い様さ　今日は少しノリが微妙

shitteiru yo otagai sama sa kyo wa sukoshi nori ga bimyou

you know, we're on equal footing with each other, even if the mood is a bit complicated today.

そんな時にはそうだね　アイスでも食べようよ

sonna toki ni wa sou da ne aisu demo tabeyou yo

Let's go have ice cream like that time.

相変わらず今日だって　こうしてそばで

aikawarazu kyo datte koushite soba de

Today I'm still close to you, like this,

奏でる音に　胸を踊らせているよ

kanaderu oto ni mune wo odorasete iru yo

the playful music dancing in my chest.

相変わらずいつでも　こうしてずっと

aikawarazu itsudemo koushite sutto

Still, as always, I'm close to you, all the way,

生きていこうよ　明日をまだ始めよう

ikiteikou yo asu wo mada hajimeyou
