Jpop Recommend #276 Prologue by Uru

プロローグ Prologue 

Uru


Released in December 2018, this song is her 5th single.  Uru has kept secret of her real name or other personal information.


This song is used as the theme song for "中学聖日記 Chuugakusei nikki".  The story is controversial love story between female teacher and junior high schooler but it is quite good and it is worth watching, too.
Her delicate voice matches well with complicated but pure feeling of the youth.

目 に かかる   髪の毛     と
m ni kakaru kaminoke to 
Strings of hairs covering the eyes
かきわけた    指

Almost broken and yet
寂し気      な   背中

lonely shoulder



頼りない   太陽   を
tayorinai taiyou wo 
While faint sunshine
滲ませ    ながら
nijimase nagara
bleeds
微笑んだ  その    横顔      見つめて     いた
hohoenda sono yokogao  mitsumete ita
I was watching your smiling face from the side



いつ の  間   にか  その 全て
itsu no ma nika sono subete
Without realizing your every move
視界   に  入って くる の

comes into my sight
心         が 波     打つ  痛み  に
kokoro ga nami-utsu itami ni
The pain that washes my heart like a wave
どうして  気づいて しまった  の
doushite kizuite   shimatta no
Why did I realize those pains?

I'm searching for you

kakushita hitomi no oku de
in the hidden bottom of my eyes
誰     にも  見えぬ  ように
dare nimo mienu youni
so that no one will see
行き場 も    なくて   彷徨い   ながら

without any exit I just wonder

In the middle of yearning and rejection
読めない    心

見つめられる        程   に
mitsumerareru hodo ni

I just can't lie


力         なく  点滅        する

With little power twinkling
あの  街灯   を

見  上げてた その    横顔     は

your side face looking up those 
優しかった

隠せない   「始まり」  を
kakusenai "hajimari" wo

Even though the wind is cold
染まった   心       は  赤い まま    で
