I downloaded a video from YouTube. The video was Nino's solo title "Niji (Rainbow)" from Arashi's album "Time". The video shows nothing but the translation of the song itself, because the video-maker said that he/she didn't have the actual concert footage of the song.
The embarassing thing? I actually shed a tear (or more) when I finished listening to it. I couldn't help it. The song was unbelievably simple, pure, sweet, and beautiful. Nino composed it himself, and he was using non-poetic language for the lyric. The lyric was very simple and casual, like something that was written in one's diary. The accompanying music was simple tunes played with a piano. But man, the effect was HUGE. Nino sang from a woman's point of view, and therefore, girls like me can feel more for the song.
This is the lyric and the translation on
And of course, the video ^___________________^
Ninomiya Kazunari, I thought I can't love you more than I love you now, but listening to this song, I think I actually can.
Psst, this song is, like, TOTALLY Ohmiya theme song. What with the constant pouts in the lyric, Nino? We all know who is the owner of The Pout in Arashi XD
