I really like this song. When I first heard it it didn't really catch my attention, maybe I found it a bit generic... But now I think that even if it is generic it's a good song. And the PV is really good too! I just saw it so I'm really excited at the moment. ^^ And the dance is really cool but SMAP looks so funny when they are performing this song because they're totally out of sync! ^^ And I'm totally looking at you Goro-chan...! :D

Romaji lyrics and English translation for Sotto Kyutto from SMAP's 44th single Sotto Kyutto／Super Star ★


Sotto Kyutto

taisetsu na   taisetsu na   KIMI ga soba ni ite
arifureta mainichi ga   KARAFURU ni naru

kasa no naka   futari shite   mimi wo sumashiteru
amaoto wo   uta ni shite   harema wo yonderu

tachidomari   shizuka ni matte mitari to ka
atarashii jibun ga ite   tomadou keredo

sotto   KIMI no te wo nigirishimeru   sotto   kyutto
tada   KIMI no te ga nigirikaesu   sotto   kyutto

toki wa kurikaesu koto naku   nagaresaru mono nara
ima KIMI ga soba ni iru koto   sore wa   sou kiseki da

itazura na   kamisama ga   KIMI wo tsuretettara...
sonna koto   kangaete   totemo kowaku naru

warawasete miyou to   odokete mitari
naretenai jibun ga ite   okashiku naru yo

sotto   KIMI no me wo mitsumete miru   sotto   zutto
sono   manazashi wa   BOKU no oku no   yami wo   terasu

sukoshi yorimichi wo shite yukou   yukkuri kaerou yo
arifureta kyou mo   yagate wa   omoide no tsubu da yo

KIMI no te wo nigirishimeru   sotto   kyutto
mata   KIMI no te ga nigirikaesu   sotto   kyutto

toki wa kurikaesu koto naku   nagaresaru mono nara
ima KIMI ga soba ni iru koto   sore wa   sou kiseki da


Gently, Tightly

When I have such an important, important person like you by my side
The ordinary everyday becomes colourful

Together under an umberella, listening carefully
The sound of the rain like a song, it's calling for a break in the weather

Halting and trying waiting in silence
There's a new me and I'm at loss

Gently I grasp your hand, gently, tightly
And your hand squeezes back, gently, tightly

If time doesn't repeat itself but drifts away
The fact that you are beside me now, it's a miracle

If a mischievous god took you away...
When I think about it I get very scared

I try to make you laugh by attempting to joke around
I'm not used to this kind of thing, it gets funny

Gently I try gazing at your eyes, gently, for a long time
The look in your eyes illuminates the darkness within me

Let's take the long way around for a little and return home slowly
Before long, the ordinary today, too, will become a grain of a memory

Gently I grasp your hand, gently, tightly
Again your hand squeezes back, gently, tightly

If time doesn't repeat itself but drifts away
The fact that you are beside me now, it's a miracle


そっときゅっと

大切な　大切な　キミがそばにいて
ありふれた毎日が　カラフルになる

傘の中　ふたりして　耳をすましてる
雨音を　歌にして　晴れ間を呼んでる

立ち止まり　静かに待ってみたりとか
新しい自分がいて　戸惑うけれど

そっと　キミの手を握りしめる　そっと　きゅっと
ただ　キミの手が握りかえす　そっと　きゅっと

時は繰り返すことなく　流れ去るものなら
今キミがそばにいること　それは　そう奇跡だ

いたずらな　神様が　キミを連れてったら･･･
そんなこと　考えて　とても怖くなる

笑わせてみようと　おどけてみたり
慣れてない自分がいて　可笑しくなるよ

そっと　キミの瞳を見つめてみる　そっと　ずっと
その　まなざしは　ボクの奥の　闇を　てらす

少し寄り道をしていこう　ゆっくり帰ろうよ
ありふれた今日も　やがては　思い出の粒だよ

キミの手を握りしめる　そっと　きゅっと
また　キミの手が握り返す　そっと　きゅっと

時は繰り返すことなく　流れ去るものなら
今キミがそばにいること　それは　そう奇跡だ
