JPop-JRock Music Encore: Kimi No Uta by Abingdon Boys School (Tokyo Magnitude 8.0)

What would you do if your place is hit by a magnitude 8 earthquake?  Hard question right?  Well, Japan is prone to that and this is the reason behind the anime Tokyo Magnitude 8.0.  This is so far dubbed as one of the best and most realistic anime of 2009.

Abingdon Boys School, stylized as abingdon boys school and abbreviated as a.b.s, is a Japanese rock band fronted by Takanori Nishikawa.  The band was formed in 2005.  Their name was in fact similar to a British independent school Abingdon School, in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, the all-male school where the rock band Radiohead was formed.


Now we feature on our JPop-JRock Music encore the song Kimi No Uta, the opening of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 from Abingdon Boys School.

Now here is a live version of Kimi No Uta performed during STAND UP! JAPAN right after the earthquake and tsunami whic hit the country in 2011.

Lyrics: Nishikawa Takanori
Music composition: Shibasaki Hiroshi

kimi no tame ni ima subete o sasageyou
tsunaida te o hanasanaide

shimeta asufaruto sabita ame no nioi ni
suikomarete ikisou de
zutto obie nagara chiisaku hiza o kakaete
hikui kumo o nagameteita

ano hi kimi ga kureta yasashisa sae
nakushiteshimau hodo "yuganda" kono sekai de
utsumuku sono toki wa
itsudemo boku ga soba ni iru kara

kimi no tame ni ima subete o sasageyou
kanau no nara
motometa no wa tashika na nukumori dake
tsunaida te o hanasanaide

zawameku machinami ni moreta kimi no himei ga
kakikesareteyuku you ni
doushite bokutachi wa onaji hoshi ni umarete
chigau basho e tadoritsuku no?

futari mita keshiki ga iroasete mo
kowareteshimau kurai "ibitsu na" kono sekai no
wazuka na kagayaki de
hagureta kimi o boku wa sagasu yo

doko made demo kono omoi o todokeyou
afureta mama
haruka tooku kimi o tsureteyuku kara
sono hitomi o sorasanaide

kimi no tame ni kono inochi o sasageyou
deaeta kara
sugita hibi wa nido to modoranai kedo
tsunaida te o hanasanaide
