song: forgot/ lyrics: Mimori Yusa

*hear the song? click here!*

Beneath a big tree I first met him,
a little cat who I named [Kuro]
When I came a little closer to him,
he meowed at me as if he could speak
And within his big round eyes
I could see sunlit pools

ookina ki no shita de
hajimete kuro ni atta
sukoshi chikazuitara
shaberu you ni naita
tsubura na hitomi ni
chiisana hidamari mieta

He's a black cat, that's why he's [Kuro]
Somehow or other he came to stay with me
at my house for a while
But still he's really half a stray...

kuroneko dakara kuro
itsu no ma ni ka watashi no
ushi de kurashite kita
han-nora dakedo ne.

Even though he has nothing to say
I understand how he feels anyway

kotoba ga nakute mo
tsutawaru kimochi

With a fickle gait he walks along as only he knows
Bringing a fresh breeze with him as he comes and goes
That I could meet with you is such a treasure to me
Among the same scenery, even now...

ki no muku mama susumu ashidori de
aoi kaze o tsurete kuru
kimi ni aeta koto ga takaramono
onaji kono keshiki no naka de, ima mo...

With spiderwebs above your head
You make them tangle up as you go out
While I wrote songs you listened with far off eyes

Those days we laughed together
The seasons together we could count
And all those dark nights you waited for me...

kumo no su o atama ni
karamasete dete kitari
uta o tsukuteru to
tooi me de kiita

waraiaeta hibi
kazoeta kisetsu

But now there's no one on the fence post
Where he used to wait for me to come home
Just like it's been from that day Kuro aimlessly went out
Softly into the night sky just like now

kurai yoru ni matte ite kureta
heie no ue wa dare mo inai
aru hi kuro wa furari to deta mama
sotto kono yozora ni natta

With a fickle gait he walks along as only he knows
Bringing a fresh breeze with him as he comes and goes
That I could meet with you is such a treasure to me
Among the same scenery, even now...

ki no muku mama susumu ashidori de
aoi kaze o tsurete kuru
kimi ni aeta koto ga takaramono
onaji kono keshiki no naka de, ima mo...

Always, always, stay with me
Always, always, waching from above...

zutto, zutto soko de
zutto, zutto mitete

When I hear this I cry...because I'm stupid. (the cat died)

Well, I just cry at everything now though I think.
Like I cried when I saw the Dorawasabi Xmas flash, and then when Spiderman couldn't use his webslings, and when I stubbed my toe on the wall...nah, just kidding about the last one. My body is impervious to such trivial pains as stubby toes~

Oh yes, and this was made into a Minna no Uta um...some time fall of 2005. Like, right after Hora wrote his diary entry about a black cat he found and named Kuro *aaawz kawayusu!* That's what the link is to.
