Mika--僕が死のうと思ったのは/The Reason Why I Thought I'd Die (Eng)

あなたのような人が生きてる
因為有像這你樣的人生活著
And if people like you are living in this world
世界に少し期待するよ
讓我對這個世界稍微有些期待了
Then maybe it’s alright to hope a little too

*Subtitles available by clicking on "CC-- English" at bottom right corner of video (top right for mobile)* Lyrics Translated by Matt Sandvig: Boku ga shinou to omotta no wa umineko ga sanbashi de naita kara *There was a time when I thought about dying, because the seagulls squawked at the end of the pier.* Nami no manima ni ukande kieru kako mo tsuibande tondeyuke *Drifting aimlessly at sea ‘til they'd all flown away, having pecked at my life like scraps of bread.* Boku ga shinou to omotto no wa tanjoubi ni anzu no hana ga saita kara *There was a time when I thought about dying, because the plum blossoms bloomed on my birthday.* Sono komorebi de utatane shitara mushi no shigai to tsuchi ni nareru kana *If I lie down beneath the sunlight streaming through the trees, will I become like the dirt and insect remains?* Hakka-ame gyokou no toudai /sabita aachikyou suteta jitensha *Mint candy at the harbor’s lighthouse. Abandoned bikes strewn by the rusty bridge.* Mokuzou no eki no sutoopu no mae de/ doko ni mo tabidatenai kokoro *I warm myself up at this old wooden station, though I don't really feel like going anywhere.* Kyou wa marude kinou mitai da /asu wo kaeru nara kyou wo kaenakya *But today feels exactly like yesterday, and if I don’t change something tomorrow will be the same.* Wakatteru wakatteru keredo *I know it will. I know it will, and yet still…* Boku ga shinou to omotta no wa kokoro ga karappo ni natta kara *There was a time when I thought about dying, because I was nothing but an empty husk.* Mitasarenai to naiteiru no wa/kitto mitasaretai to negau kara *And whenever someone cries because they’re not happy, I’m sure it’s because they really want to be.* Boku ga shinou to omotta no wa kutsuhimo ga hodoketa kara *There was a time when I thought about dying, because my shoelaces had come undone.* Musubinaosu no wa nigate nanda yo/hito to no tsunagari mo mata shikari *I was never very good at retying them. Kind of like how I am with the ties between people.* Boku ga shinou to omotta no wa shounen ga boku wo mitsumeteita kara *There was a time when I thought about dying, because some kid wouldn’t stop staring at me.* Beedo no ue de dogeza shiteru yo /ano hi no boku ni gomennasai to *I got down on my knees on top of my bed, so that I could apologize to myself.* Pasokon no usuakari joukai no heya no seikatsu on *My computer casts a dim light. The room upstairs sounds the same as ever.* Intaafon no chaimu no oto/ mimi wo fusagu torikago no shounen *The boy sits tucked inside a birdcage, ears covered to drown out the ringing school bell.* Mienai teki to tatakatteru rokujou hitoma no donki hoote *I’m fighting an enemy I can’t even see inside a one room department store.* Gooru wa dousei minikui mono sa *I’ve seen the prize, and it doesn’t look all that great.* Boku ga shinou to omotta no wa tsumetai hito to iwareta kara *There was a time when I thought about dying, because everyone said I was heartless.* Aisaretai to naiteiru no wa hito no nukumori wo shitte shimatta kara *And whenever someone cries longing for another’s love, it’s because they accidentally learned what the real thing feels like.* Boku ga shinou to omotta no wa anata ga kirei ni warau kara *There was a time when I thought about dying, because you had to have such a pretty smile.* Shinu koto bakari kangaete shimau no wa kitto ikiru koto ni majimesugiru kara *And whenever someone can’t help but think about dying, I’m sure it’s because we’re trying a little too hard.* Boku ga shinou to omotta no wa mada anata ni deattenakatta kara *There was a time when I thought about dying. It must have been because I hadn’t met you yet.* Anata no you na/ hito ga umareta sekai wo sukoshi suki ni natta yo *And if people like you can exist in this world, then maybe I like it a little after all.* Anata no you na/ hito ga ikiteru sekai ni sukoshi kitai suru yo *And if people like you are living in this world, then maybe it’s alright to hope a little too.*

I don't know why none of the lyric translations mention that 'don kihōte' literally means Don Quixote. She literally means that she feels like she's Don Quixote in a 6 mat room.

Mika could sing with this level of emotion in this song because it's one of those songs that you'll click with immediately only if you, too, have experienced things that other people might never understand. She lost her hearing and was bashed by fans and netizens for 'crappy out-of-tune singing', subsequently evaporated from the stage. Being a singer, losing your voice meant losing your bread and butter, and she fell into a deep depression, returning a couple of years later with this song and singing again. My tears wouldn't stop when I heard this song for the first time; I heard her desperation, her depth of feeling, the sense of "I know there's no reason for me to be sad all the time, but I just am, and I'm sorry for that". I feel her so much.

[@MasterofPlay7]

she's now fully recovered

[@finchfinchh]

Reposted from Warlords0602- "That's what makes this version perfect, at the time of the show, she was suffering from an incurable disease that is deafening her. She was known for her perfect voice but of course when she can't hear it, it becomes completely trashed. Any other person would've announced their resignation but nope, she came back with a travelling live show half a year later. That is, after her new songs were relentlessly trashed on by media and everyone else simply coz she can't control her voice. So that's what makes this song great for me, coz you know at this point she's singing with her heart, trying desperately to catch the rhythm with steps and touching the speakers. I would agree skills and presentation-wise she's not doing her best, sometimes going too fast and other times just breaking her voice, but somehow with that imperfection you can just feel her energy booming across. I did cry listening to the song after learning the story behind it, this video also cut out a bit of talking before the song. Essentially she said she was really moved by it when she listened to it, and she understands how it feels to be completely alone in the dark with no hope to be seen, that's why she chose that song to conclude the concert." Like this so that new people here can read this.

Apparently her hearing is fine now, she's still singing strong.

[@fernanza]

The part about wanting to die because the shoelaces had come undone really hit home for me. It reminds me of the times when little things that I had failed to do made me cry and breakdown. It felt like everything in the world was against me, and I couldn't fix anything. To outsiders it might have looked like I was throwing a tantrum, but I can't explain how broken I felt inside. And the usage of shoelaces as a metaphor for relationship ties was such a poignant line. This is truly brilliant writing :' )

I knew how it feels... Im not tantrum but i couldnt stop it.. something in me is consuming my happyness

It's from the perspective of 2 friends.

[@f.t6486]

@@MonsterhunterFTWWTF Amazarashi gifted the song to her, after hearing about her struggles with depression. And this video cuts the part where she monologues before the song, talking about how she heard the original song and found herself crying. She had lost her hearing and couldn't sing in tune and disappeared for a few years relearning how to sing in tune without being able to hear herself. As a singer, losing her voice hit her strongly and she lapsed into depression the few years away from the stage.

This song makes me cry too. I've listened to Mika Nakashima for a long time now but my husband has never heard this song of hers. I showed it to him last night and we both ended up crying. I overdosed two weeks ago and ended up in the hospital for a few days. I've been battling anxiety and depression for over 20 years now. This past year has been incredibly difficult with my grandmother passing away, many people dying at my workplace from COVID-19, the stress of working in healthcare during a pandemic and being newly married and moving to a new place. I guess it all just caught up to me - all the things I haven't been able to cope with. I think this song helped him understand all of my feelings a little bit more and that's why he cried.

[@mingyan319]

Although I can not understand Japanese, I cannot hold my tears. The weird thing is that I almost never cry as my culture really discourages a man cries and thinks it’s weak. Fabulous performance!!!

[@BossyMafia]

(Not sure if you know, but you can turn on the captions to see the english translation! :D) Crying is not weakness. You're a human being, you have emotions. People who say you shouldn't cry only say that because they don't know how to deal with it; it's THEIR problem, not yours.

[@mira-yy1rn]

Thank you for the translation

[@icie700]

Thank you for putting this up and the subtitles. I'd listened to the studio version on Spotify but never really grasped the meaning behind the lyrics. But this version really resonated with me. The lyricist has lived with depression, experienced life where even the beautiful things have an edge of sadness to them, where a fear of change prevents them from progressing, where sadness is comforting because it's a reminder that you can still feel the void. What spoke to me was the part about the undone shoelaces. I've always been bad with strings and knots and threads, and having that linked with being unable to connect with others felt somewhat meaningful. But what really got me going was the last part, where I saw it as her singing to her fans, that she can hold hope because people like them exist. And then somehow, it felt like she was singing to me, telling me that my existence matters. That was when I had one of the most cathartic cries I've had in a while. This my friends, is what great art looks like - that even across the gap of time, space, and through a screen, those emotions reach out and touch one at such a personal level.

[@msfreakymerocky2tosleep296]

僕が死のうと思ったのは　ウミネコが桟橋で鳴いたから 波の随意に浮かんで消える　過去も啄ばんで飛んでいけ 僕が死のうと思ったのは　誕生日に杏の花が咲いたから その木漏れ日でうたた寝したら　虫の死骸と土になれるかな 薄荷飴　漁港の灯台　錆びたアーチ橋　捨てた自転車 木造の駅のストーブの前で　どこにも旅立てない心 今日はまるで昨日みたいだ　明日を変えるなら今日を変えなきゃ 分かってる　分かってる　けれど 僕が死のうと思ったのは　心が空っぽになったから 満たされないと泣いているのは　きっと満たされたいと願うから 僕が死のうと思ったのは　靴紐が解けたから 結びなおすのは苦手なんだよ　人との繋がりもまた然り 僕が死のうと思ったのは　少年が僕を見つめていたから ベッドの上で土下座してるよ　あの日の僕にごめんなさいと パソコンの薄明かり　上階の部屋の生活音 インターフォンのチャイムの音　耳を塞ぐ鳥かごの少年 見えない敵と戦ってる　六畳一間のドンキホーテ ゴールはどうせ醜いものさ 僕が死のうと思ったのは　冷たい人と言われたから 愛されたいと泣いているのは　人の温もりを知ってしまったから 僕が死のうと思ったのは　あなたが綺麗に笑うから 死ぬことばかり考えてしまうのは　きっと生きる事に真面目すぎるから 僕が死のうと思ったのは　まだあなたに出会ってなかったから あなたのような人が生まれた　世界を少し好きになったよ あなたのような人が生きてる　世界に少し期待するよ

今、孤独を感じてる人、自分なんて生まれてこなきゃ良かったとか、出会った人の記憶から、自分の存在を消したいなんて、 一人で悩んでる人に この曲を、知って欲しい‼️ 自分が思うよりも、他人だって悩みを、、、闇を抱えてる、、、 私も、そうでした、 又、そうなるかも？ けど、そんな時には、何度も、この曲を聴く事にします‼️ 中島美嘉さん、この曲を世に生み出した、製作者さん、ほんまに有り難う✨❤

目前处在人生焦虑苦恼睡不好觉的阶段，为了未来而焦虑，这首歌的歌词真的直入人心，和看不到的敌人战斗，房间里的唐吉可德，啊希望我能够找到出路和未来
