I can honestly say that Remioromen is my favourite Japanese band, though I must admit my knowledge of Japanese bands is limited, but even so, I like their songs a lot. I came across them in the dorama “Ichi rittoru no namida” where both this song and my favourite “Sangatsu kokonaka” were the main insert songs of the dorama. Their lyrics evoke a feeling of poetry, a feeling of summer times, of youth, of longing and of overcoming… a great band in my opinion. I am still trying to overcome the sadness of their momentary “separation”, I really hope they get back together soon, but will be in the watch out for their solo activities.^^ ♥

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

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

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

Konayuki nee kokoro made shiroku somerareta nara
Futari no kodoku wo tsutsunde sora ni kaesu kara
TRANSLATION
powdered-snow, within the revolving seasons
we always miss each other
although we got separated within the crowd,
we look into the same sky
blown in the wind,
we feel the same chills
everything about you,
guess I don’t really know
even so, from one hundred million
I still found you
although i’m not really sure,
i’m seriously thinking about it
if slight quarrels may lose our laughters
then we must not live in the same moment of time
if we can’t be honest to each other
happiness and sadness are just empty
powdered-snow, until our hearts become white-dyed
let us meet so that we can share our loneliness
I want to put my ears into your heart
to hear the voice that gently leads into the depth
I want to go descend, and let us meet once again there
although I say that I want to understand,
but I can only stroke the surface of my words
even your hands that have become cold,
only by holding them tightly, we were connected
powdered-snow, even too fragile before the eternity
fell and became stain upon the rough asphalt
powdered-snow, in such time unreliable, shaking my heart
even so, I want to keep on protecting you…
powdered-snow, until our hearts become white-dyed
wrap up our loneliness, return it to the sky…
