Re:Re:

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION J-pop Japanese

Vocabulary from ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION: 'Re:Re:' (Erased OP1 (僕だけがいない街 OP1) · 2016).

君を待った

僕は待った

途切れない明日も過ぎて行って

立ち止まって振り返って

とめどない今日を嘆き合った

記憶だって 永遠になんて残らないものとおもい知って

僕はずっと掻きむしって 心の隅っこで泣いた

そしてどうかなくさないでよって

高架下、過ぎる日々を

後悔してんだよって そう言い逃したあの日

繋ぎ合った時もあった

ほどけない感情持ち寄って それが僕のすべてだった

それもたった今 失くしたんだ

形だって 時が経って変わりゆくものとおもい知って

僕はずっと掻きむしって 塞がれた今日を恨んだ

そしてどうかなくさないでよって

高架下、過ぎる日々を

後悔してんだよって そう言い逃したあの日

君を待った

僕は待った

途切れない明日も過ぎて行って

僕は今日も掻きむしって

忘れない傷をつけているんだよ

君じゃないとさ

Vocabulary

Noun, Pronoun

きみ

you (informal); thou; lord; ruler

You should come with us too.

A familiar second-person pronoun used among close friends or by superiors to subordinates. Historically used to refer to a lord or monarch.

Particle

direct object marker particle

Marks the direct object of a verb - what the action is done to. Written を but pronounced 'o'. Essential for transitive verbs. Also marks the space through which movement occurs.

待つ

Verb

まつ

to wait, to wait for, to await

I wait for my friend.

A transitive verb that takes the direct object marker を. Can also mean to look forward to something. The imperative form 待って (matte) is commonly used to ask someone to wait. Can also mean to depend on or rely upon in certain contexts.

Pronoun, Noun

ぼく

I; me (male, informal or polite)

I plan to go to the sea with my friends this weekend.

Particle

topic marker particle

This year, the cherry blossoms bloomed early.

Marks the topic of a sentence - what the sentence is about. Often implies contrast with other possible topics. Written as は but pronounced 'wa'. Differs from が which marks the grammatical subject.

Used when a continuous flow (sound, conversation, crowd) is interrupted.

明日
