To be frank, I never like Ai Otsuka after listening to one of her hits where she spins and spins 360 degrees in the PV and I almost puke. That was the first and last time I watched her pv. But her song "Chu" is quite cute. That was my her first song I accidentally heard online.

Pocket by Ai is the second song I listen - stumbled across on someone's blog about this song. I listened to this song and thought it as quite boring because the tune is quite bland but not until I read the how much that blogger likes the lyric. And so I searched for the lyric translation and ... I really like the lyric because I can feel how touching it is! You can read a translated interview here about this song.

Hope you guys like it! It's the second song for the Valentine series!



anata no POKKE ni ojamashite
futari wo tsunagu te no himitsu wo

sotto ai wo fukamete kita

kawaru koto shiranai

kono saki nan nen tatta toshite mo
anata wo itoshiku omotte
sotto ai wo fukameru wa

anata no omo ni to ka ja nakute

anata no POKKE ni ojamashite

English translation:

Sneaking my hand into your pocket,
Our fingers intertwined in secret
As if we were hiding it from the light of the world.
Softly then, I fell deeper into love.
Of things changed I do not know, but my feelings are
That throughout the next however many years
My thoughts will only be of loving you.
Gently then, I fell deeper into love with you.

Giving warmth to your delicate hands,
I rest reassured that I am causing no burden
In staying always by your side.

Slipping my hand into your pocket,
My eyes follow your tall frame, looking up
At your face that leans towards mine.
At times, I still giggle shyly to myself.
I know too that you always make sure
To finish those dishes that I try so very hard to make.
Time and again, your gentle thoughtfulness
Has me chuckling to myself, embarrassed.

Resting in the comfort that I am not a responsibility,
Let us walk together anew again from here.
Hand in hand, we will shape ourselves a dream.

With my hand in your pocket, I am warmed in
Knowing that I can never lose this love ?a love above all love.
Always, I will be at your side.
Always, I will remain by you.

ai is one adorable girl when it comes to j-dorama. i used to listen to her a lot after watching tokyo friends. i'd never watched her mv, but agree some of her song isn't catchy at all. however the right one actually makes you feel happy after listening to it. :)

i don't really follow any particular artists. musics i listened to mostly come from anime or j-dorama. any catchy tunes will have my attention before i started searching for them. doesn't really have a preference in that sense. :)
