手紙 ~拝啓 十五の君へ~
作詞 & 作曲: アンジェラ・アキ


拝啓 この手紙読んでいるあなたは
どこで何をしているのだろう

十五の僕には誰にも話せない
悩みの種があるのです

未来の自分に宛てて書く手紙なら
きっと素直に打ち明けられるだろう

今 負けそうで 泣きそうで
消えてしまいそうな僕は
誰の言葉を信じ歩けばいいの?
ひとつしかないこの胸が
何度もばらばらに割れて
苦しい中で今を生きている
今を生きている

拝啓 ありがとう
十五のあなたに伝えたい事があるのです

自分とは何でどこへ向かうべきか
問い続ければ見えてくる

荒れた青春の海は厳しいけれど
明日の岸辺へと 夢の舟よ進め

今 負けないで 泣かないで
消えてしまいそうな時は
自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの
大人の僕も傷ついて眠れない夜はあるけど
苦くて甘い今を生きている

人生の全てに意味があるから
恐れずにあなたの夢を育てて
Keep on believing

負けそうで 泣きそうで
消えてしまいそうな僕は
誰の言葉を信じ歩けばいいの?
ああ 負けないで 泣かないで
消えてしまいそうな時は
自分の声を信じ歩けばいいの
いつの時代も悲しみを避けては通れないけれど
笑顔を見せて 今を生きていこう
今を生きていこう

拝啓 この手紙読んでいるあなたが
幸せな事を願います




Tegami ~Haikei Juugo no kimi he~
Lyrics & Music: Angela Aki

Dear you,
Thank you
I have something to tell the 15-year-old you

If you continue asking what and where you should be going
You'll be able to see the answer

The rough seas of youth may be tough
But row your boat of dreams on
Towards the shores of tomorrow

Now, please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice
For me as an adult, there are sleepless nights when I'm hurt
But I'm living the bittersweet present

There's meaning to everything in life
So build your dreams without fear
Keep on believing

Seems like I'm about to be defeated and cry
For someone who's seemingly about to disappear
Whose words should I believe in?

Please don't be defeated and please don't shed a tear
During these times when you're seemingly about to disappear
Just believe in your own voice

No matter era we're in
There's no running away from sorrow
So show your smile, and go on living the present
Go on living the present

Dear you,
Who's reading this letter
I wish you happiness...



angela aki sang for the whole middle school students in japan


the whole middle school students in japan sang..
the list of schools is on the video..


This beautiful song is from Angela Aki's latest single, and is the image song for Japan's 75th nationwide school singing contest which is co-hosted by NHK.

初めてこの曲を聴く時は、涙が出ました。
本当に感動しましたよ~
それぞれの中学生たちのその時の心が、気持ちさえも、伝わってきます。
この曲が、彼らに大切な曲に、なりましたね。そして私にもね。。 o(〃^▽^〃)o

When i first heard this song, tears came out from my eyes..
This song has amazingly touching lyrics..



Watch how many of them cry when Angela Aki sang her composition in front of the school children in this video.
The girls cry like they've been keeping something painful inside for so long, all of their faces shows a sad story behind them and now they just let it out in this song, feeling free and relieved.
Nowadays, a lot of children keep their pain and things that made them unhappy inside their heart. I hope this song can help them release their stress, their pain, and don't always keep things inside their heart..
Every person will face this, don't run away, keep on believe yourself..
