Angela Aki 手紙 ~拝啓 十五の君へ~

Even though I couldn't understand the lyrics when I first heard it, this song just had all the feels simply from the piano and vocals. I realised there's a Mandarin version of this song (which probably explains why it sounded familiar) but nahhh original is good hahaha.


Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
Where are you and what are you doing now?

I’m 15 and there’s something worrying me
That I can’t talk to anyone about

If I write a letter to my future self,
Surely I could confide truly to myself

Now it seems that I'm about to be defeated and cry
I'm someone who is about to disappear
What words should I trust to continue?
This heart has been shattered too many times,
though it hurts me, I live the present
Now I live the present

Dear you,
Thanks to the 15 years old you
I have something to tell you

If you keep asking yourself what and where you should be
The answer will become clear

The stormy sea of youth is hard but
A boat of dreams will take you to the edge of tomorrow

Now, don't be defeated, don't cry
When you feel like you’re going to disappear
Just believe in your own voice to keep walking
Even an adult like me gets hurt and has sleepless nights
But I'm living the bittersweet present

There's meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

Now it seems that I'm about to be defeated and cry
I'm someone who is about to disappear
What words should I trust to continue?

Now, don't be defeated, don't cry
When you feel like you’re going to disappear
Just believe in your own voice to keep walking

No matter what stage of your life you’re in
You can’t get by without going through sadness
Show me a smile, let’s live in the present
Let’s live in the present

Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
I wish you happiness
