about

Promise always had to be a vocal track. So I remade the whole thing with orchestration, new arrangement etc.

But it's the Japanese lyricist Koji Asano and vocalist Akira Yamamoto who really brought the track to life. It became quite a different track altogether. Really happy and thankful for those two talents.

lyrics

街の中に　過ぎかう影　いつものように振り向くの　でも
空のかなた　光る星を　今日もまた　思い描く
Shadow passing by in the city looking backwards as always but
I visualise the shining star beyond the sky again today

いつか　笑ってる　額縁に飾られた写真
二人だけの　大切な　白いページに残すように
One day framed picture of the two of us smiling
Leaving the important blank page just for us

心が癒される場所　こんなにも　遠く　伸ばす手も届かない
通り過ぎる　恋人達　君をふと　思い出すの
Place where my heart can heal is so far away I can’t reach it
Lovers passing by unexpectedly remembering you

いつも　溢れてる　ゴミ箱の　書きかけの手紙
信じている　あの時の　約束　覚えてるよね　きっと
Trash can overflowing with unfinished letters
I believe, surely you remember that promise we made　

どんなに　どんなに　せつなくても
月に照らされ　一人でないてたの
No matter how painful
Shined upon by the moonlight I cry alone

たとえ虹の橋かからなくっても
あなたの声が今聴きたい
Even if the rainbow bridge doesn’t appear
I want to hear your voice now
　
だから
That’s why

いつか　笑ってる　額縁に飾られた写真
二人だけの　大切な　白いページに残すように
One day framed picture of the two of us smiling
Leaving the important blank page just for us
