First Love (Japanese) Lyrics
by Utada Hikaru
Released in 1999, "First Love" by Hikaru Utada is a very powerful love ballad about that love experience one goes through as a teenager and the effect it has throughout life. The song is appealing not only because of melodious beauty but for universal feelings—nostalgia, yearning, and the indelible mark of first love itself. These lyrics and the performance give Utada incisive vulnerability and reflective wisdom that captures the bittersweetness of reflecting on a past relationship that has ended yet continues to shape the present.
Very essence of "First Love," a rubbing of complex emotions that has bound the memories of a by-gone relationship. In the very first lines, when laced with the bittersweet fragrance of a sad, last kiss, the scene is set for an internal journey through the deepest corridors of the heart, where past affections reside with such poignant clarity. The song goes into the mixed feelings of sadness and warmth on the recollection of a lost love, which ponders the pain and beauty of such memories.
In "First Love," Utada tells a story that many feel is their own; a story of timeless importance in first love, despite life's whirlwinds and other relationships. And it's in that respect that the song does give out the same feeling: one of ambition to keep in mind the great moments or experiences lived since the first moment of love. It speaks to the hope that this formative love occupies a lasting place in the hearts of both individuals involved. These elements make "First Love" a classic in Utada's work, and she is a songwriter. The theme of the work was love and loss, the relentless march of time, but this maintains now all power and popularity as it still resounds through cultures and languages.
First Love (Japanese) Song Lyrics
First Love (Japanese) by Utada Hikaru
Tabako no flavor ga sh*ta
Nigakute setsunai kaori
Ash*ta no imagoro ni wa
Anata wa doko ni iru n' darou
Dare wo omotte 'ru n' darou
You are always gonna be my love
Itsu ka dare ka to mata koi ni ochite mo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
Tachidomaru jikan ga
Ugoki-dasou to sh*te 'ru
Wasuretaku nai koto bakari
Ash*ta no imagoro ni wa
Watashi wa kitto naite 'ru
Anata wo omotte 'ru n' darou
You will always be inside my heart
Itsu mo anata dake no basho ga aru kara
I hope that I have a place in your heart too
Now and forever you are still the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
You are always gonna be my love
Itsu ka dare ka to mata koi ni ochite mo
I'll remember to love
You taught me how
You are always gonna be the one
Ima wa mada kanashii love song
Atarashii uta utaeru made
