Written and composed by Keisuke Kuwata Produced by Southern All Stars (English translation of the lyrics with rough meaning) When a strong wind blows, I'm at a loss to walk I'm so weak-minded My mind is filled with images like a vision of that day The truth is, I have always been more tearful than I appear to be. Like clear water that gushes out and flows endlessly Like a magical fire that burns and burns again I will never have another summer like the one in which I met the woman I fell in love with so much. I guess we are all doomed to wander around in the darkness of our own hearts in search of love And the final decision is left to the wind, left to luck, Oh, my destiny Till the tears dry up When I look at you, I can't speak frankly In the wretchedness that washes over me like a tsunami I know ... I'm scared. Hoo... From the moment I met you, I can't break the spell that was cast on me In my dreams that are like mirrors, my memories of you are always raining When the dream ends and I wake up the deep darkness opens up and the dawn will surely come In truth, I am more resilient than I appear I'm looking at the sky as if it's about to rain, like a seagull drifting between the waves Surely this world is warm and generous in its human feelings Oh, sweet memory I carry with me the determination to depart We cry over and over again and grow up I know that love is as fragile as glass I know... I know... In my eyes, I can only see you, the woman I love with all my heart and soul Feeling the pain in my heart that's about to burst at any moment Why am I trying to bear my grief? When I look at you, I can't speak frankly The wretchedness that surges like a tsunami I know ... I'm scared. Hoo... “I love you from the moment we met until the moment I die” I want you to tell me that In my dream, like a mirror, who was it that smiled at me? Why did I cry when I love you so much? My memories of you will always be... raining. 2 million (Japan Record Association) (Original Confidence Japan Official Chart) No.1 on the weekly chart (for 2 weeks in a row, for 3 weeks in a row, for a total of 5 weeks) No.1 on the monthly chart for February and March 2000 No.1 on the annual chart for 2000[5].
