Kagamine Rin & Len - Departures

Yesterday, Hitoshizuku-P just added a new song to Nico Nico Douga. What's so special about this song is this isn't composed by Hitoshizuku-P. Departures is actually composed by Komuro Tetsuya, a famous Japanese composer, and was originally sung by globe, a famous 90's Japanese band. So this time, Hitoshizuku-P and Yama△ just did the re-arrangement of the song using Rin's and Len's voice and as usual, Suzunosuke made the illustration. So far that I know, this song is made for an event titled "Komuro Tetsuya meets Vocaloid" that will be streamed live on Nico Nico Douga on 28th March 2012 at 11:00PM.

The only difference between the original one and Kagamine Twins' version is Kagamine Twins' version is shorter since Hitoshizuku-P didn't include the English lyrics. In the original version by globe, the English lyrics was sung in rap mode though.

The song's story is quite simple. From what I read from the lyrics, it's about two lovers who have to leave each other because they want to chase their own dream. But in the end, it turns out that they can't forget each other since they love each other too much. It's really a  nice, touching, and sad song, I think.

Romaji

Doko mademo kagirinaku furitsumoru yuki to

Anata e no omoi

Sukoshi demo tsutaetakute todoketakute soba ni ite hoshikute

Zutto fuseta mama no shashin tate no futari

Egao dake wa ima mo kagayaite iru

Itsu no hi kara hosoku nagai michi ga hajimaru

Tabidachi no hi wa nazeka kaze ga tsuyokute

Yasashisa mo wagamama mo nukumori mo sabishisa mo

Omoiyari mo subete wo zenbu azuketa

Doko mademo kagirinaku furitsumoru yuki to

Anata e no omoi

Sukoshi demo tsutaetakute todoketakute soba ni ite hoshikute

Kogoeru yo machiawase mo dekinai mama

Ashita wo sagashiteru

Itsu datte omoide wo tsukuru toki ni wa anata to futari ga ii

When a man and a woman

Start to be tired to do the same thin'

Again and again

Leavin' their dream, their love behind

Lookin' after all those long nights

To discover a new adventure

Itta koto ga nai ne yuki to asobitai ne

Aitakute aenakute akogarete iru

Yoru ga yake ni nagakute fuyu no sei ka mo shirenai

Dakedo haru wa akaruku hizashi abitai

Eien ni tsuzuku michi

Sore wa anata e no omoi ga kitto

Furitsumoru yuki to tomo ni fukaku tsuyoku

Futari wo sasaete ita

Trying to find what the meaning of love

Alone at midnight

I just want to see you, just want to be feel you

Just want to be there by your side

Under the same snow

Under the same moonlight

Maegami ga nobita ne onaji kurai ni natta

Hidarikiki mo nareta shi kaze mo naotta

Ai ga yume wo jama suru yume ga ai wo mitsukeru

Yasashisa ga ai wo sagashite

Anata ga watashi wo erande kureta kara

Doko mademo kagirinaku furitsumoru yuki to

Anata e no omoi

Sukoshi demo tsutaetakute todoketakute soba ni ite hoshikute

Kogoeru yo machiawase mo dekinai mama

Ashita wo sagashiteru

Itsu datte omoide wo tsukuru toki ni wa anata to futari ga ii

English

In the endless drifts of snow

I want to tell you just a little

Of my love for you, I want to reach you, I want you to be by my side

I always keep the photo of us face down

But even now our smiles are still shining

At some point we started down this long, narrow road

For some reason the wind was strong on the day of departure

Tenderness and selfishness and warmth and loneliness

Sympathy and everything, I gave it all to you

In the endless drifts of snow

I want to tell you just a little

Of my love for you, I want to reach you, I want you to be by my side

Unable to see you on this freezing night

I search for tomorrow

Whenever I'm making memories, I want it to be with you

When a man and a woman

Start to be tired to do the same thin'

Again and again

Leavin' their dream, their love behind

Lookin' after all those long nights

To discover a new adventure

I've never been before; I want to play in the snow

I miss you; I can't see you; I long for you

The nights seem so long; I guess it's because it's winter

But in spring, I want to bathe in the bright sunshine

The road continues forever

And my love for you fell on it

Strong and deep like the snow

Supporting us

Trying to find what the meaning of love

Alone at midnight

I just want to see you, just want to be feel you

Just want to be there by your side

Under the same snow

Under the same moonlight

Your bangs have grown; they're about the same length as mine now

I've gotten used to being left-handed and my cold's gotten better, too

Love gets in the way of dreams and dreams find love

Tenderness searches for love

Because you chose me

In the endless drifts of snow

I want to tell you just a little

Of my love for you, I want to reach you, I want you to be by my side

Unable to see you on this freezing night

I search for tomorrow

Whenever I'm making memories, I want it to be with you
