The world’s tallest observation wheel is opening in Dubai next month
世界最高的觀景摩天輪下個月將在杜拜開放

metropolitan 大都市的
skyline 天際線
anticipate 預期/期望
cabin 座艙
rotation 旋轉一圈
fruition 完成

Ferris wheels were once the center of the town fair. Now they are key parts of major metropolitan skylines. But none can top the heights of the Ain Dubai — meaning “Dubai Eye” in Arabic — which is scheduled to open on Oct. 21. At more than 250 meters, Ain Dubai is 82 meters higher than the current world's tallest ferris wheel in operation, the High Roller in Las Vegas. It is almost twice the size of the London Eye.
摩天輪曾經是市集的中心。現在，它們是主要大都市天際線的關鍵部分。但沒有一個能超越預計在10月21日開幕的艾因杜拜-阿拉伯語義中為'杜拜之眼'-的高度。杜拜之眼高250多公尺，比目前世界運行中的最高摩天輪，拉斯維加斯的豪客摩天輪高82公尺。它幾乎是倫敦眼的兩倍。

First announced in February 2013, Ain Dubai has taken more than eight years to complete. Construction began in May 2015, with an anticipated completion date of early to mid-2019. That date was later pushed to October 20, 2020, which was then pushed back another year when Expo 2020 was delayed by a year due to the pandemic.
杜拜之眼於2013年2月首次對外發布，歷時超過8年完工。2015年5月開始施工，原本預計2019年初到年中完工。但完工日期被延後到2020年10月20日，結果又因為大流行病導致2020年世博會被推遲，再往後延一年。

The structure has 48 enclosed cabins, some of which can fit up to 40 passengers. In total, 1,750 people can ride at the same time, according to the attraction.
這個摩天輪有48個封閉式座艙，其中有一些座艙可以容納40名乘客。根據景點的統計，總共有1750人可以同時乘坐。

There are three different types of cabin to take in the 38-minute rotation: observation cabins (the standard option), social cabins (these are the "VIP" option and have a bar in the center of the pod) and private cabins, which can be booked out for special occasions and include the option of a private three-course dinner over two rotations of the wheel.
在38分鐘的旋轉中，有三種不同類型的座艙可供選擇:觀景座艙(標準型)，社交座艙(這些是VIP型並且在座艙中央有酒吧)和私人座艙，可以依照特殊場合預訂，包含可以選擇在摩天輪旋轉兩圈時享用三道菜的晚餐。

Bringing all of this to fruition has meant pulling in expertise from all corners of the globe -- consultants from the UAE, South Korea, Germany, the UK, the Netherlands, France and Italy all contributed to key aspects of the design.
這一切的實現，意味著從世界各地引進專業技能-來自阿聯酋、韓國、德國、英國、荷蘭、法國及義大利的顧問，都為設計的關鍵層面做出貢獻。

《我的幸福5/2 週末》

*週日下午兩點誠品信義書店「廿世紀典範人物」新書分享會，我下午二時開始演講，離上次在台灣大學公開演説。快半年了！分享會報名一小時預告已額滿，但TVBS電視台慷慨的支持。派出SNG車，屆時TVBS文茜的世界周報YouTube 及世界周報Facebook 都將同步直播。

*新書分享會後我將直奔高雄衛武營，參加劉孟捷（李斯特巡禮之年）鋼琴獨奏會。這是劉孟捷回台，最重要的一場音樂會，我目睹他用盡了一切心力。過去即使21歲時在費城代打缺席大師的音樂會，劉孟捷都未曾如此緊張。他此次回台，手術前為了沒有遺憾，共舉行三場音樂會：其中4/17與5/30皆是與國家交響樂團NSO合作：530那一場指揮是呂紹嘉。但他告訴我，某些曲目對他而言，是Piece of Cake ：惟獨衞武營這一場，曲目由他自己決定，現場錄影，並且找了金曲獎錄音師同步錄音。

劉夢捷明白他即將面對一個大手術，手術風險之外，他的免疫系統疾病，將使他的康復之路更長。

沒有人可以預知未來，為了圓他的夢，醫院每天都要求他早上、晚上量血壓，報告直接傳給院長。振興醫院院長魏崢雖然是亞洲第一把心臟外科醫師，但也不敢大意。

畢竟這個人的生命那麼脆弱，他的心臟主動脈剝離，那是實質的「心碎」了：但他仍有詩，仍有音樂夢。在生命的交接處，在白日與黑夜的交义口，劉孟捷想為他的音樂生涯，留下最美好的紀錄。

他選擇了李斯特。

在這場音樂會前，他甚至以英文寫下了自己與音樂、疾病的半生回顧：如李斯特的巡禮，有仰望，有沉思，有失落，有幽微的疼痛。他以詩篇般的演奏模式，傾訴，詠嘆。他曾得到天賦，也走過死蔭的幽谷。命運是一層又一層的黑影逼近，老天爺隨時想帶走他。

而他已不再流淚，不再沉浸於悲愴告別：因為對他而言活著並不容易，他要讓自己更深刻的抓住每一分時光之美。

如果時間和空間，正如哲人們所形容的
都是不實際存在的東西：那從不感到衰敗的太陽，也不會比我們了不起多少！

他如艾略特的詩句中所形容的：我們為什麼要如此貪心總在祈禱，想活上整整一個世紀？

蝴蝶雖僅活了一天，已經歷了永恆。

當他的身軀如露水還在藤蔓顫抖時，他送給我們一場「完全浪漫又超技的李斯特」。

等音樂會結束了，至少有一張CD，一段YouTube 影像：不論孟捷代表生命的那朵鮮花是否枯萎，他彈奏如天使的音聲不會飛離，它會停留在那夜，繼續釋放芬芳。

這是盡生命之力、之情獨奏的音樂會。劉孟捷説：這樣當他走進手術室時，會少一點悲傷。

或許快樂的日子本來就不多，但讓這場「完全李斯特．完全劉孟捷」的獨奏會放出神聖的光彩吧！

我必將赴會，不會錯過！我知道此刻的獨奏會，很難複製，因為它綜合了太多的情感、愛念，釋放與生命的抒情。

*劉孟捷為此次獨奏會寫下的文字：This past year has seen some unprecedented changes in the world. Many lives have been lost and many have changed. The world has changed while many of us confront the uncertainty of the future.

For most musicians, life has changed. For months, we have been conducting our lessons online, and concerts have mostly stopped or become an online experience as well. More time has been spent learning how to improve the online teaching experience than one could have imagined. While I have felt the duty to continue teaching, the format the pandemic requires for teaching leaves me unwilling to spend more time than I have to.

And truly, I have had other things to deal with. When the pandemic started to worry the American public in March, I was in the middle of a tour with the String Quartet-in-Residence at Curtis, the Vera Quartet. However, our concerts were canceled, and everything came to a sudden halt.

I felt the universe had sent me an unexpected gift, as I had also just received some terrible news concerning my worsening aortic arches and a diagnosis of kidney cancer. The sudden halt in my professional schedule seemed perfect in its timing. I was able to settle into a monastic existence, to simply practice and attempt to heal.

I see many musicians itching to be concertizing again, and many stepped into new territory, performing on the internet. Many took time to develop new podcasts, and to write new materials for their art. Sadly, many have struggled as they have fallen into desperation without any concert incomes. Altogether the music industry seems to be in peril, and many worry about how music and musicians will survive.

However, I had my own survival to think about. Having been through many difficult experiences in my life, I knew this might be the most difficult I would encounter. My Doctors describe me as a walking time bomb. My condition could be lethal at any moment if my blood pressure gets out of control. So while others wrestle with the fate of the music industry, I’ve needed to face my own fate and mortality.

Playing concerts can mean many things to people. At different times throughout my life, I’ve felt the need to express different aspects of myself. When I was young, I wanted to embody the spirit of romanticism, playing lots of Chopin and Schumann. Then there was a period of time when I wanted to challenge myself by showing off pyrotechnics. I had a brooding period where I turned to the pathos of Rachmaninoff, and then felt the need to return to the purity of Schubert and nobility of Brahms. Throughout this pandemic, I wanted to play Bach. Through Bach’s music I found a kind of spiritual sanctuary.

In considering the program for this concert, I felt again the urge to play music that reflects my current feelings and state of mind. The title of today’s recital, “Years of Pilgrimage” seems to fit exactly what I am experiencing.

Liszt wrote several volumes of “Années de pèlerinage” throughout his life to reflect on thoughts he had during his travels. He links his philosophical thoughts to the scenery which inspired them. “Au Bord d’un Source” describes feelings of rejuvenation while standing next to a clear stream of water, a symbol and source of life and energy. It seems to say, when the stream is so pure, life can be so full of joy.

In the Les jeux d'eaux à la Villa d'Este (The Fountains of the Villa d'Este), the water has a magical and supernatural quality, as Liszt himself wrote in the inscription: "But the water that I shall give him shall become in him a well of water springing up into eternal life,"( from the Gospel of John.)

For me, I have never felt more connected to Liszt than when he looked upon the valley of Obermann and questioned the meaning of existence. At this moment in my life, I often find myself reflecting my experiences of what I see and read into philosophical musings. Perhaps many people come to a time when this is so.

In all this I have felt gratitude for the love stories and sonnets that one can romantically indulge in, and for storms so violent that they threaten to destroy one’s spirit, even the hell-bound journey which brings up questions about the purpose of life…

On this journey, I felt full and alive as a human being. Looking back on this journey, I am grateful for everything, whether happy or sad, to have made an impact, found and imparted meaning to this life.

The unusual time of this pandemic has marked a milestone for me. I have journeyed back home, and as it happened, this is the first time I have spent so much time in my hometown Kaohsiung in over 35 years. It’s particularly nostalgic to play these pieces as some of them were significant in my early musical career. Vallée d’Obermann was the piece I played in my first competition at the junior high school level, in which I won first prize on the national level, which allowed me to be qualified to apply for a special permission to study abroad. This meant my dream to be educated as a musician could be continued in an environment where I could develop fully. In the following year when I was 13, I won the first Asia-Pacific Youth PIano Competition with the Dante Sonata. The competition catapulted me into national attention as I was headlined in several newspapers, and especially since it was held in Kaohsiung, I became a local hero as well. During the same event, I had a fateful meeting with one of the important influences in my life, Mr. Gary Graffman, who then mentored me throughout not only the years when I was studying at Curtis, but throughout my illness and recovery as a pianist. Right before I departed to study in Philadelphia, I played my first solo recital throughout Taiwan, and along with the Dante Sonata, I also performed the three sonnets.

It’s perfect that now, back in Kaohsiung, all these memories have flooded back into my head. I feel so lucky to have been born here, and to have met my first teacher, Chin-Li Lee, who inspired me on the path to become a musician. Prof. Alexander Sung filled me with dreams of becoming an artist. I am grateful for his belief in my talent, when he chose to give a 12 year old such philosophical pieces to play.

Having once again spent some months in Kaohsiung, I can freshly appreciate the source of inspiration it once was for me. I have returned to the source to heal. Having already glimpsed hell’s gate several times, battered and weathered by the storms of life, I know there is a reason life is this way, and it all will be alright.

*劉孟捷衛武營《李斯特巡禮之年》演奏會中，包括李斯特以佩脫拉克三首情詩譜寫的鋼琴琴詩：這三首情詩是從大詩人佩脫拉克一百多首情詩挑出來的，詩本身就很優美，依此激發李斯特的浪漫主義創作靈感，成為琴藝上最困難演奏，但也特別細膩溫柔的琴詩。

這三首分別是：
〈佩脫拉克第47號十四行詩〉〈佩脫拉克第104號十四行詩〉及〈佩脫拉克第123號十四行詩〉。
Franz Liszt（1811-1886）: Sonetto 47 del Petrarca, Sonetto 104 del Petrarca, Sonetto 123 del Petrarca, from Années de pèlerinage, Deuxième année: Italie

李斯特於1846年先出版藝術歌曲《三首佩脫拉克十四行詩》（Tre sonetti del Petrarca），再改成鋼琴獨奏版。

三首佩脫拉克十四行詩
中譯：焦元溥（元溥也是友情贊助，特別準備音樂資料，周日南下，聆賞劉孟捷的樂曲，並且陪同他盯著錄音共三天）

〈第47〉
祝福每天、每月、每年，
所有片刻與鐘點、時間與季節，
在那美麗的原野，

我為一雙眼眸魂縈夢牽。

祝福初遇時的甜，
與愛同在、受苦不停歇，
如弓箭刺穿令我淌血，
傷口永留感動在我心間。

祝福一切我發出的聲音，
當呼喚著我深愛的女郎，
渴望、嘆息、淚濕滿襟。
祝福我寫下的文字遠揚，
歌頌她的芳名，萬古長新。
我心永屬於她，無人能闖。

〈第104〉
我找不到和平，也無意打仗，
我恐懼、我期望，燃燒又冰透。
我向天飛升，卻躺在地上，
我一無所有，卻又擁抱整個宇宙。

我身陷囹圄，監牢又開敞；
我不受囚禁，卻銬著鎖頭。
愛情不讓我死，也不讓我飛翔；
不要我活，也不准我逃離悲愁。

欲看卻無眼，啞口還在發言，
我甘心殞滅，卻仍高聲呼救，
我痛恨自己，但仍愛著他人。

憂傷滋潤我，淚水伴隨笑臉，
生命不足惜，死亡也不煩憂；
我淪落至此，都是妳啊，我的愛人！
〈第123〉

我在塵世見到仙子的美，

她天堂般優雅無與倫比。
想起她讓我悲傷又歡喜，
所見如幻夢迷霧與幽黑。

妳的可愛眼睛使我落淚，
多少次讓太陽也要妒忌。
我還聽到四周發出嘆息，
移動了山嶽停止了河水。

愛情智慧憐憫憂傷財富，
在淚水中形成甜美聲響，
奇妙和諧世上未曾目睹。
天堂追隨著音樂的流淌，
雖然枝上樹葉並未飛舞，
空氣與風息卻充滿芬芳。

What did Jesus mean when He said “He who endures to the end will be saved”? Was He implying works-based salvation whereby those who don’t endure in living holy lives free from sin will eventually not be saved?

I’m so thankful that this is not what He meant. In fact, those words don’t even apply to us who are in this dispensation.

Someone asked for the link to this article yesterday so I thought it would be a good idea to share it with everyone today!

When you understand the true meaning of “He who endures to the end will saved,” you will breathe a sigh of relief and no longer be confused. The way to “endure” is clear and measurable!

--------------------
Everybody wants to know the secret
People try and try to make it meaningful

Time after time, another story
You’ve heard it all, it could be boring
A boy and girl, a special journey
The scent of spring, her hair was flowing

(And yet again)

The summer sun delivers damage
Unending need, a test of patience
A falling out, it can’t be salvaged
And with the snow, it ends in silence

Maybe it all was meant to be
After all, what’s happened can’t be undone
Pain is the pleasure to start anew
Only those who take the leap of faith will know
You’ll know

Tomorrow comes without a stop your time will come to be in front
Although right now the sorrow seems like it’ll never disappear
Tomorrow comes without a stop your time will come to be in front
Although right now the sorrow seems like it’ll never disappear
Tomorrow comes wow oh oh
The sorrow’s gone wow oh oh
Tomorrow comes wow oh oh
The sorrow’s gone wow oh oh

Everybody wants to know the secret
People try and try to make a meaning
You wonder, slowly ponder
searching through the binary
Keep scrolling on
Keep scrolling on
You try and try to understand it all

Tomorrow comes without a stop your time will come to be in front
Although right now the sorrow seems like it’ll never disappear
Tomorrow comes without a stop your time will come to be in front
Although right now the sorrow seems like it’ll never disappear
Tomorrow comes wow oh oh
The sorrow’s gone wow oh oh
Tomorrow comes wow oh oh
The sorrow’s gone wow oh oh

【和訳】

誰しも秘密を知りたがる
人は意味を求めてる

何度も繰り返すあのストーリー
聞いたことあるから退屈かもしれない
少年と少女 特別な旅
春の香り 髪が風になびいていた

また繰り返す

夏の太陽が痛みをくれる
激しく求め合い試し合って
仲違いしては、雪の中静かに終わる

全てなるべくしてなったのかもしれない
やり直しはきかないんだ
痛みは新たな旅の喜び
一回飛び出せばわかるさ
君にも

明日は止めどなく押し寄せて
君の出番が来る
今は悲しみが永遠に
続くような気がするけれど
明日は止めどなく押し寄せて
そして、君の出番が来る
今は悲しみが永遠に
続くような気がするけれど
明日は来る
悲しみは消えて
明日は来る
悲しみは消えて

誰しも秘密を知りたがる
人は意味を求めてる
想いめぐらせ、考えて
バイナリーの中
スクロールし続ける
スクロールし続ける
君は全てを理解しようとしてる

明日は止めどなく押し寄せて
君の出番が来る
今は悲しみが永遠に
続くような気がするけれど
明日は止めどなく押し寄せて
そして、君の出番が来る
今は悲しみが永遠に
続くような気がするけれど
明日は来る
悲しみは消えて
明日は来る
悲しみは消えて

日文歌詞 / Japanese Lyrics :
重ねた言葉は何を守るため?
強くなれるだけでいい　答えはもういらない
例えば心は傷を負うだけで
それだけのものだとしたら　悲しいね
それでも空を見上げてる

行き場をなくした月の影　勢いを増した向かい風
知らないどこかで手にした何かは
音を立て　すぐに消えた

そう　世界の片隅で
祈りとか誓いすら意味をなさない
居場所すら忘れ　歩き続けてく

かざした刃は誰を守るため?
強くなれるだけでいい　答えはもういらない
例えば心は傷を負うだけで
それだけのものだとしても　かまわない
それでも空を見上げてる

うつむいたままの景色まで　目に映るものは痛みだけ
知らない誰かに望んだ全ては　今はもう風に消えた

そう　世界はまわるだけ
残された期待なら意味をなさない
求めたものは捨て　歩き続けてく

重ねた言葉は何を守るため?
弱さと向き合うなら　涙はもういらない
「さよなら」「さよなら」くりかえすだけで
それだけの日々だとしたら　悲しいね
それでも空を見上げてる
いまでも星を探してる

夜明けを求めた旅人は
真夜中輝く　青い太陽
傷ついたこと　傷つけたこと
すべて体温(ねつ)にかえるまで　ずっと歩いてく

重ねた言葉は何を守るため?
強くなれるだけでいい　答えはもういらない
かざした刃は誰を守るため?
弱さと向き合うなら　涙はもういらない

心は 心は 傷を負うだけで
それだけのものだとしても　かまわない
それでも空を見上げてる

中文歌詞 / Chinese Lyrics :
那些持續說服自我的話語，是為了堅持什麼？
只要能變得更堅強就好，我們不需要知道那會有什麼結果
假如說，擁有心靈只會背負更多的傷痛
如果心靈真的僅是這樣的東西，那真是令人哀傷
但即使哀傷，我們仍只能仰望著這片天空

失去藏身之所的月影，昏暗的是漸漸加劇的逆風
在不知名的地方，落入手中的那些未知之物
也僅是留下聲音的殘影，轉瞬飛散了

是的，無論是祈禱甚至是誓言
在這角落的世界裡都沒有任何作用
而我們只能一面忘卻自己的棲身之所，一面持續向前

武裝了自己的信念，是為了守護什麼人？
只需變得堅強，答案什麼的就通通捨棄吧
假如說，擁有心靈也只會讓我們背負更多的傷痛
而就算心靈真的僅是這樣的東西，那也無所謂了
我們也僅是追尋著這片天空

從遠處一直到低頭、映入眼簾的都只有痛苦的風景
對著不知名的某人所渴求的那些願望，現在，也全消散在風中了

沒錯，這個世界僅是前進著
若是那些被遺留於身後的期望，那都已經失去意義
捨棄那些曾經追求過的東西，我們，僅須向前

持續鼓舞自己的話語，是為了堅持什麼？
若是要面對自己的懦弱，就捨棄我們的眼淚吧
僅是重複著「再見」與「再見」
若走過的日子僅有這些離別的話，那真是讓人感傷
但即使如此，我們仍追求著這片天空
如今，我們也仍在尋找著星斗

那些追尋黎明的旅人
是於午夜中燃燒青焰的烈日
無論是受了傷的過去，還是傷害了他人的過往
直至將這一切全化作自己的體內的炙熱，他們將一直、一直走下去

累積下來的千言萬語，究竟是為了堅持什麼？
只要能變得更堅強就好，堅強的結果是什麼我們並不需要知道
而武裝了自己的信念，到底是為了與什麼人抗衡？
若是要對抗自己的脆弱，眼淚什麼的我們也已經不再需要

就算，心靈的傷痕只會不斷、不停的增加
縱使心靈就是如此的東西，那都無足畏懼
因為無論如何，我們，都只會持續追尋著這片天空

英文歌詞 / English Lyrics :
Just what are the words I’ve piled up meant to protect?
I’d be satisfied with them merely making me stronger; I don’t need an answer anymore.
But if it were really nothing more,
Than something to cause me pain, it would be so sad;
Nonetheless, I’m still looking up to the sky.

Like the moon’s shadow when it has nowhere left to run, or a headwind increasing in strength,
An unknown thing obtained, in an unknown place, made an audible noise before vanishing.

That’s right: in the corners of the world, prayers and oaths exercise no meaning,
Forgetting where they belong only to walk on endlessly.

Just who is the blade we hold aloft meant to protect?
I’d be satisfied with it merely making me stronger; I don’t need an answer anymore.
But even if it was really nothing more,
Than something to cause me pain, I wouldn’t mind;
I’m still looking up to the sky.

Everything that reflects in my eyes is full of pain, even the scenery I see lying face down,
As the entirety of some unknown person’s desires gets carried away by the wind.

That’s right: just by the world spinning ’round, any hopes still left will exercise no meaning,
Leaving all who sought them to walk on endlessly.

Just what are the words I’ve piled up meant to protect?
If I can face my weaknesses, I’ll no longer have need for tears.
But if these days are to consist of nothing more,
Than repeating, “Farewell!”, “Farewell!”, it would be so sad;
Nonetheless, I’m still looking up to the sky.

Even now, I’m still searching for the stars.

The travelers who sought after the dawn,
Are a pale sun shining at midnight,
Walking on and on,
Until all the pain exchanged to and fro converts to heat.

Just what are the words I’ve piled up meant to protect?
I’d be satisfied with them merely making me stronger; I don’t need an answer anymore.
Just who is the blade we hold aloft meant to protect?
If I can face my weaknesses, I’ll no longer have need for tears.
Even if the only real purpose for this heart,
Is to be wounded, I wouldn’t mind;
I’m still looking up to the sky.

今日は、『君の名は。』英訳シリーズの最後の曲となる、「夢灯籠」をお届けします♪

いつも私の動画をご視聴いただき、又チャンネル登録・好評・シェア等をしていただき、ありがとうございます(＾◇＾)　多くの方が私の訳詞カバーを気に入ってくださってとても嬉しいです♪　これからもたくさんの動画をアップしますので、今後とも宜しくお願いします！

Here is my English cover of "Yume Tourou," the last song in my "Your Name" series! Thanks so much to everyone that has watched my videos, subscribed, given thumbs up, and shared! I'm so glad that you all like what I'm doing, and I hope you'll continue to check out my future videos :)

*Meaning of the song's title:
Yume = "dream"
Tourou = "lantern"
There is a tradition called "tourou nagashi" where a paper lantern is set afloat during the last day of the O-bon festival. The lantern lights the way for the souls of the departed to cross back into the afterlife after they visit at O-bon (hopefully I'm correct in the details). So I think this title is meant to give the image of a lantern lighting the way into or out of a dream. I think this song really only makes sense in the context of the movie :)

Ah, if only our voices that speak in the night
Instead of fading into the edges of light at far ends of Earth
Could find their way through all of space, all of time

Oh, and if they could, what would we say?
What will the words be that we first exchange?
Let’s make a promise, one that will never fade
On my count of three, say it with me, yeah

Ah, I’m told that some part of every wish will be heard
But lately I lost sight of the truth in those words
I can’t even remember when I gave up believing
What could have been the reasoning?

Ah, you told me in the very moment that the rain subsides
And everywhere a rainbow is born or dies
And where the end of this life lies
You always would insist there was something that begins nearby

One day we’ll go, unearth emotions we’d buried all our lives
We’ll high-five love we’ve yet to discover and give a kiss to time

The five dimensions may laugh right in my face
But I will keep on looking at you, babe
Let’s decide on a sign for when we say “nice to meet you” again
I’m on my way to you, chasing after your name

いつか行こう 全生命も未到 未開拓
itsuka ikou zen-seimei mo mitou mikaitaku
の感情にハイタッチして 時間にキスを
no kanjou ni hai-tacchi shite jikan ni kisu wo

5次元にからかわれて それでも君をみるよ
go-jigen ni karaka-warete sore demo kimi wo miru yo
また「はじめまして」の合図を決めよう
mata "hajimemashite" no aizu wo kimeyou
君の名を　今追いかけるよ
kimi no na wo ima oi-kakeru yo
