All at once... Realizing...
Wasn't I an able reporter?
No, I was just blessed there was always an outbreak of events, and I was needed by my organization...
When there's nothing happening, I can't do anything...
Wasn't I popular among my mates?
No, I was just being a funny guy not making enemies, being keen on not getting into anyone's black books...
I suddenly have times when I'm all alone...
Wasn't I devoted to my family?
No, I didn't even call my brother on his birthday this week, thinking badly of his poor excuse for a father...
I should be his best adviser, and I'm the one being a coward...
Wasn't I popular among girls?
Uh, well... Maybe this is completely out of the question...
Holding the wrong end of the stick,
I have to get a better hold of myself.
Feeling sorry to everyone I've been a nuisance...
Please forgive me!
何か全部一気に…実感して…
俺ってできる記者だったんじゃなかったっけ？
いいや。いつも発生ものに恵まれてきただけで、その時に組織に必要とされただけ…。
何も起きていないときに、俺は何もできないんだ…。
俺って仲間内で人気がなかったっけ？
いいや。俺はおもろいヤツになって、敵を作らないようにしてただけ。誰にも嫌われないように熱心だっただけ…。
いつの間にか独り寂しくしてるときがあるんだ…。
俺って家族想いじゃなかったっけ？
いいや。今週、弟の誕生日があったのに電話もしなかった、あいつが父親として失格だなんて悪く思いながら…。
俺はあいつの一番の相談者にならないといけないのに。卑怯なのは俺の方だ…。
俺ってモテてなかったっけ？
うーん、まぁ…。これだけは最初っから全く当てはまらないか…。
勘違いしているんだよね。
もっとしっかり自分のことを見つめ直さないと。
迷惑をかけたみんなに申し訳ないと思いながら…。
許してね！
Thinking tonight about what I've been doing this time of year in 2004...
Listening to one of my favorite songs from that year...
from "Songs About Jane" by Maroon 5
She Will Be Loved (A. Levine, J. Valentine 2003 2004)
beauty queen of only eighteen
she had some trouble with herself
he was always there to help her
she always belonged to someone else
i drove for miles and miles
and wound up at your door
i've had you so many times but somehow
i want more
i don't mind spending everyday
out on your corner in the pouring rain
look for the girl with the broken smile
ask her if she wants to stay awhile
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
tap on my window knock on my door
i want to make you feel beautiful
i know i tend to get so insecure
it doesn't matter anymore
it's not always rainbows and butterflies
it's compromise that moves us along
my heart is full and my door's always open
you can come anytime you want
i don't mind spending everyday
out on your corner in the pouring rain
look for the girl with the broken smile
ask her if she wants to stay awhile
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
i know where you hide
alone in your car
know all of the things that make you who you are
i know that goodbye means nothing at all
comes back and begs me to catch her every time she falls
tap on my window knock on my door
i want to make you feel beautiful
i don't mind spending everyday
out on your corner in the pouring rain
look for the girl with the broken smile
ask her if she wants to stay awhile
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
and she will be loved
(please don't try so hard to say goodbye)
i don't mind spending everyday
out on your corner in the pouring rain
(please don't try so hard to say goodbye)
Yes, I just want to make you feel beautiful...
今夜は２００４年の今ごろ何をやっていたか思い出しながら…
その年に出た大好きな唄を聞いて…。
写真：マルーン５の「ソングス・アバウト・ジェーン」から
シー・ウィル・ビィ・ラヴド（Ａラヴィーン、Ｊヴァレンタイン ２００３ ２００４）
（歌詞の訳は略）
そう！俺はただ君が美しいって思ってもらえたらいいんだ…。

Hey, the people who know you well enough know that you always have good intentions & that deep down you do care, so don't be so hard on yourself.
And "She Will Be Loved" is also my favorite song of 2004. I saw them live with John Mayer before they got so big =D
-your fantabulous sister who will be in Japan 12/19-1/2
Thank you, my always caring sister.
But in a big city like Tokyo, there's tons of people who don't care at all.
I can't take it for granted that they understand any intentions I believe to have.
I wish that ain't something of a matter where you live.
OK! You knew them before they became BIG! You better give me updates on which CDs I better buy at Tower Records!
