Konayuki




One Litre of Tears OST

Lyrics: Ryota Fujimaki Music: REMIOROMEN

Konayuki mau kisetsu wa itsumo sure chigai
Hitogomi ni magirete mo onaji sora miteru no ni
Kaze ni fukarete nita you ni kogoeru no ni

Boku wa kimi no subete nado shitte wa inai darou
Soredemo ichi oku nin kara kimi wo mitsuketa yo
Konkyo wa naikedo honki de omotterunda

Sasaina ii aimo nakute
Onaji jikan wo ikite nado ike nai
Sunao ni nare nai nara
Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo munashii dake

Konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
Futari no kodoku wo wake au koto ga dekita no kai

Boku wa kimi no kokoro ni mimi wo oshi atete
Sono koe no suru hou he sutto fukaku made
Orite yukitai soko de mou ichi do aou

Wakari aitai nante
Uwabe wo nadete itano wa boku no hou
Kimi no kajikanda te mo nigirishimeru
Koto dakede tsunagatteta no ni

Konayuki nee eien wo mae ni amari ni moroku
Zara tsuku ASUFARUTO no ue shimi ni natte yuku yo

Konayuki nee toki ni tayori naku kokoro wa yureru
Soredemo boku wa kimi no koto mamori tsuduketai

Konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
Futari no kodoku wo tsutsunde sora ni kaesu kara

粉雪

作詞: 藤巻亮太 作曲: レミオロメン

粉雪舞う季節はいつもすれ違い

人混みに紛れても同じ空見てるのに

風に吹かれて似たように凍えるのに

僕は君の全てなど知ってはいないだろう

それでも一億人から君を見つけたよ

根拠はないけど本気で思ってるんだ

些細な言い合いもなくて

同じ時間を生きてなどいけない

素直になれないなら

喜びも悲しみも虚しいだけ

粉雪ねえ心まで白く染められたなら

二人の孤独を分け合う事ができたのかい

僕は君の心に耳を押し当てて

その声のする方へすっと深くまで

下りてゆきたいそこでもう一度会おう

分かり合いたいなんて

上辺を撫でていたのは僕の方

君のかじかんだ手も握りしめる

ことだけで繋がってたのに

粉雪ねえ永遠を前にあまりに脆く

ざらつくアスファルトの上シミになってゆくよ

粉雪ねえ時に頼りなく心は揺れる

それでも僕は君のこと守り続けたい

粉雪ねえ心まで白く染められたなら

二人の孤独を包んで空にかえすから

Gift Giving and More Useful Expressions

Berikut adalah pernyataan yang biasa digunakan pada saat kita memberikan hadiah, kado atau sesuatu kepada orang lain.

When Giving a Gift

Tsumaranai mono desu ga ...

つまらないものですが・・・

Here is something for you.

(sebuah ungkapan sopan yang kira-kira berarti: Ini adalah sesuatu yang tidak menarik, tetapi mohon dapat diterima)

Kore douzo.

これどうぞ。

This is for you.

The Japanese customary bring a gift when visiting someone's home. The expression "Tsumaranai mono desu ga ..." is very Japanese. It literally means, "This is an trifling thing, but please accept it." It might sound strange to you. Why anyone brings such a thing as a gift? This is a humble expression. The humble form (kenjougo) is used when a speaker wants to lower his/her position. Therefore, this expression is often used to your superior, in spite of the true value of the gift. When giving a gift to your close friend or other informal occasions, "Kore douzo" will do it.

Apa yang diucapkan pada saat tuan rumah menyiapkan minuman atau makanan untuk anda?

When Your Host Begins to Prepare Drinks or Food for You

Douzo okamainaku.

どうぞお構いなく。

Please don't go to any trouble.

(Harap jangan repot-repot)

When Drinking or Eating

Host

Douzo meshiagatte kudasai.

どうぞ召し上がってください。

Guest

Itadakimasu.

いただきます。

(Before Eating)

(Sebuah ungkapan yang kira-kira menyampaikan terima kasih dan rasa syukur)

Gochisousama deshita.

ごちそうさまでした。

(After Eating)

"Meshiagaru" is the honorific form of the verb "taberu (to eat)." "Itadaku" is a humble form of the verb "morau (to receive)." However, "Itadakimasu" is a fixed expression used before eating or drinking. After eating "Gochisousama deshita" is used to express appreciation for the food. "Gochisou" literally means, "a feast." There is no religious significance of these phrases.


Apa yang diungkapkan pada saat hendak pamit pulang?

When Thinking about Leaving

Sorosoro shitsurei shimasu.

そろそろ失礼します。

It is about time I should be leaving.

(Sudah waktunya bagi saya untuk pamit)

"Sorosoro" is a useful phrase for leaving. In informal situations, you could say "Sorosoro kaerimasu (It's about time for me to go home)," "Sorosoro kaerou ka (Shall we go home soon?)" or just "Ja sorosoro ... (Well, it's about time ...)" etc.


Apa yang diungkapkan pada saat meninggalkan rumahnya?

When Leaving Someone's Home

Ojama shimashita.

お邪魔しました。

Excuse me.

(Sebuah ungkapan yang kira-kira berarti: saya telah mengganggu anda)


"Ojama shimashita" literally means, "I got in the way." It is often used when leaving someone's home.

Visiting Someone's Place: Entering Home

Japanese seem to have many formal phrases for certain actions. When visiting your superior or somebody for the first time, these phrases will be helpful to express your gratitude. Here are some common expressions you are likely to use when visiting Japanese homes.

At the Door

Guest

Konnichiwa.

こんにちは。

Gomen kudasai.

ごめんください。

Host

Irasshai.

いらっしゃい。

Irassaimase.

いらっしゃいませ。

Yoku irasshai mashita.

よくいらっしゃいました。

Youkoso.

ようこそ。

"Gomen kudasai" literally means, "Please forgive me for bothering you." It is often used when visiting someone's home. "Irassharu" is the honorific form (keigo) of the verb "kuru (to come)." All four expressions for a host mean "Welcome." "Irasshai" is less formal than other expressions. It should not be used when a guest is superior to a host.

When You Enter the Room

Host

Douzo oagari kudasai.

どうぞお上がりください。

Please come in.

Douzo ohairi kudasai.

どうぞお入りください。

Douzo kochira e.

どうぞこちらへ。

This way, please.

Guest

Ojama shimasu.

おじゃまします。

Excuse me.

Shitsurei shimasu.

失礼します。


"Douzo" is very useful expression and means, "please." The Japanese use it quite often. "Douzo oagari kudasai" literally means, "Please come up." This is because Japanese houses usually have an elevated floor in the entrance (genkan) and step up to go into the house. Then, a well known tradition --- take off your shoes at the genkan. You might want to make sure your socks don't have any holes before visiting Japanese homes! A pair of slippers is often offered to wear in the house. When you enter a tatami (a straw mat) room, you should remove slippers.


"Ojama shimasu" literally means, "I'm going to get in your way" or " I will disturb you." It is used as a polite greeting when entering someone's home. "Shitsurei shimasu" literally means, "I'm going to be rude." This expression is used in various situations. When entering someone's house or room, it means "Excuse my interrupting." When leaving it is used as "Excuse my leaving" or "Good-bye."
