Dancing sea flies in the air, shining
The beautiful bead drops, touched by the palm and scatters
The drops that dissolving in the sea, where are you now?
Not to be able to meet, even though it's painful, it can't be changed
I will eventually move toward the end of life, until the day of goodbye...
How many people would have moved by?
How many people would have cried and remembered?
Even if there are many, life is a difficult thing to leave
I want to tell you that you're irreplaceable, I sincerely thank you
Finished traveling, return to the place of birth, taking your hands
Holding them as tight as possible
We are tiny drops, in this world, burning life just to live
Even though I am afraid of not being able to meet , it can't be changed
Someday people will go there, the day of goodbye
The only sudden, the goodbye
The wavering sea will return...

*Like most of jrock songs, this song also is very poetic. So, I didn't literally translated every single word. Few of them have to be arranged and re-written so it can make sense in English. However the real meaning remains unchanged.
According to one of her latest blog posts, she has recorded a few songs with Koshi Inaba. * The blog posting has been removed to prevent leaking of information, apparently.

Good evening.
Today, I participated in the recording for Koshi Inaba’s new solo album ♪
This time I was playing the first violin, too, and the songs from Koshi’s new album are really great!!
The songs I got to hear were all wonderful☆
For those who are wondering why she said “too”, she was also involved in the recording of B’z latest album “MAGIC”. Namely “MY LONELY TOWN” and “TINY DROPS”.
