Shiwa ga dekite mo daijobu dakara
Itsumademo kirei dakara
Waratte kureru dake de tsuyoku naru
Yappari sugoi na anata no egao wa
Itsu made tatte wo kodomo desu yo
Shiawase desu yo
It is alright if you wrinkle, because
You will always be beautiful in my eyes
Just by making you smile makes me stronger
And as I thought, your smile is incredible
No matter how much time passes, I will continue to be your child
And that makes me happy
Anata wa itsu datte
Jiyū ni ikiteite
Sora o oyoideru tori mitai
Tsuyogari de sono kuse hontō wa nakimushi de
Mō dochira ga kodomo nandaka…
You are always
Living freely
Like a bird flying in the sky
That habit of pretending to be tough, but you’re actually a crybaby
Geez, who between the two of us is the child now…
友達みたいにふざけ合って
守りたい大切な存在
Tomodachi mitai ni fuzake atte
Mamoritai taisetsu na sonzai
We joke with each other like we are friends
You are an important existence I want to protect
Shiraga fuete mo daijōbu dakara

Itsu made tatte mo mimamottete
Yakusoku desu yo
It is alright if your hair turns gray, because
You will always be beautiful in my eyes
Just by giving me your words makes me do my best
As I thought, you are unfair
Someone who is known as a mother
No matter how much time passes, I will watch over you
That I promise you
これからも元気でいて
あなたの“幸せ”が幸せ
Kore kara mo genki de ite
Anata no “shiawase” ga shiawase
Stay happy and well from now on
Your “happiness” is happiness itself
Shiwa ga dekite mo daijobu dakara

It is alright if you wrinkle, because
You will always be beautiful in my eyes

As a young man Gore Browne courted Lorna Bosworth Smith for three years, but she married someone else. She and her husband Edwin Goldmann died young, and in England in 1927, Gore Browne met their orphaned daughter Lorna Goldmann (1908–2002). Despite the quarter-century difference in their ages, they married that year and went to live at Shiwa Ngandu. They had two daughters, Lorna and Angela. However, from 1934 the couple spent much time apart. Lady Gore-Browne did not share her husband's dreams for the estate and they divorced in 1950.
is there a word for this phenomenon. where you marry the daughter of a woman who spurned you. i feel like this is a thing
*reposted because I hated the formatting in the previous version of this post HAHA
Ahhhhh this was really tricky to translate as this song was full of metaphors (classic Satocchan). But even though it hurt my brain so much, I pushed through as I believe this is one of their best songs - I feel like it’s a love letter of some sort to their fans/supporters for being their light, and because they received so much love and support (light) from them, they will do their best to pass on that light to others through their music.
Anyway, hope this post and this song will make you smile widely, too :)

The lights on the way home, being emitted by those cold, lifeless buildings, serves as some sort of signal
I may not know their names, but I'm thankful, (since) they opened up the (service) entrance to their hearts
Although it's dumb to guess who or what’s behind these curtains and warm windows
I wish these friends, who have been giving me signs to live, happiness, even though I don't know their faces
As long as you're here, this life, as well as the present, will be peaceful
I am in awe of the beauty of the countless stars (scattered across) the vast twilight sky in this city*
A darkness so deep that it's impossible to clear it up no matter how much I try - even if I do try, it'll just be blurry at best
As I breathed a sigh, I stopped for a while; a weird guy scolds at someone
Without any words, the red lights blinked; the four-wheeled and two wheeled vehicles moving like a school of fishes (also begin to stop)
I watched as my baggages turned into smiles
I am left in awe of the kindness of each and every one of you**
That even if one doesn't make an effort to make connections, one by one, those feelings (of affection) eventually reach me, like a ripple
The lights come on and then disappear with the silence, they change, one after the other
That precious light that keeps us alive during the nights that (always) come
I'll carry it with me and make sure it reaches someone, for sure, I'll make sure of that
I am in awe of the beauty of the countless stars (scattered across) the vast twilight sky in this city
A darkness so deep that it's impossible to clear it up no matter how much I try - even if I do try, it'll just be blurry at best
Surely, we'll have to accept everything - even the (various) fears and sadness
It is exactly because we go through all these things together that we can shine and laugh at these together
The lights, as well as the good night and thank you's - I'll make sure they reach someone, for sure

"*OH GOD HOW DO I EVEN BEGIN TO EXPLAIN THESE TWO LINES IT WAS SO HARD TO TRANSLATE BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE WHATEVER TRANSLATION I MAKE IT WILL NOT DO THE LINES JUSTICE :(( I WILL ALWAYS BE AMAZED OF HOW SATOCCHAN IS A GENIUS WITH WORDS. Tasogare, with the kanji he used in the lyrics, would mean "who is that?". This is actually an old adage/old way of referring to unknown people. In recent times, ""tasogare"" (with the kanji 黄昏) means "twilight", which, actually comes from the old meaning of tasogare. If you look at the lyrics, you will see that both meanings of tasogare work with the context of the song = it may mean that he is completely overwhelmed by the beauty of the lives of the immeasurable number of people he's never known in town (as immeasurable as the stars in the twilight sky). The people interpretation will also work with the song as it can be used as reference for the second chorus (kimi no anata no omaetachi no)."
"**Kimi no, anata no, omaetachi no - kimi, anata, and omae all mean ""you"" when translated into english, but the differences in these lie in the degree of closeness the speaker has with the other party being pertained to. Kimi is more casual and can refer to friends, family, and loved ones, anata to other people one knows (acquaintances, etc; but can also be used with people you have a very close relationship with, especially since anata is sometimes used between husband and wife), and omaetachi to those you don't have a personal relationship with."

ms kimura dyes and collages prints and book pages that have been eaten away by worms. to her this is wabi-sabi. this is another type of work that appeals to me bc nature played its hand by letting worms eat random shapes and then she arranged it afterward. closeup so you can see the worm bites better
メトロミニッツ20周年記念のオリジナルクラフトビールのラベルを描きました。東京メトロの9ラインが交錯しています。 AD+D:@zoology_tokyo フルーティで、温度変化によって風味が増すおもしろい味わいです。(ビールについての詳細は下部↓) 販売している期間限定ショップ(築地)は12/11(日)が最終日。 金・土11:00~20:00 日11:00~18:00 I drew an illustration for the label of an original craft beer for the 20th anniversary of Metro Minute magazine. The nine lines of the Tokyo Metro intersect. ▽ビール醸造所 国立ブルワリー @kunitachi_brewery ▽醸造士 斯波 克幸 / SHIBA Katsuyuki also know as SHIWA @shiwa_kunitachibrewery 東京とローカルをつなぐフリーマガジン[metromin.]の創刊20周年記念ビールを編集部の皆さまと一緒に2回目をつくりました! 前回同様にアメリカ産人気ホップのモザイクを軸にして香りを組み立て、祝祭をイメージした華やかさ、一方で水っぽくない瑞々しい飲み心地を表現するために使用したホップは銘柄は9種類(品種にして10種類)。 前回のリリースは暑い季節で今回は寒い季節。ということでアルコール度数を前回より思い切って高くし、より華やかに仕上げました。液体自体は口の中からスッとなくなりますが、しっかりと余韻を楽しめます。 アロマフレイバーはグーズベリーやカシス、黒ブドウ、バブルガム様の甘いニュアンスから、パイナップルから白ブドウ様の爽やかなニュアンス。 その下地にはメロンや、濃色オレンジなど柑橘のニュアンスも隠れており、洋梨や砂糖漬けの果実のような甘いニュアンスも感じられます。温度変化と共に黒ブドウ系、白ブドウ系の香りが行ったり来たり。 Kveik Yeast由来のほのかな酸味のテクスチャにグーズベリーのような酸味と余韻、爽やかなパイナップルやレモンを感じる人もいると思います。余韻の中には白ぶどう以外にもアプリコットや白桃を見つけられる方もいるでしょう。 糖分は酵母によって全て食べつくされていますが、厚みのあるアロマフレイバーから甘さが感じられます。その甘味を引き締める程度の苦味とフレイバー由来のほのかな酸味がアクセント。 アルコール度数は高いですが飲み疲れしないと自信を持って言える仕上がりです。 ・・・(続きはBEER STORYで) @kunitachi_brewery のプロフィールURLから「BEER」へ #メトロミニッツ #metromin #KUNITACHIBREWERY #瓜生太郎 #tarouryu (築地4丁目交差点) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cl7vv0Hyzg9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
Hello! For the Valentine’s Day asks, how about Blush, first date and ballad?
[Ask game here!]
Blush: What could someone do this Valentine’s to make you feel special?
Acceptance :') I'm currently in a sad mood, so right now, all I really want is that someone that I care about shows that they appreciate me whether it's by a gift or the simple saying of "I think you're cool to be around with." I really don't care, I just want to know that I mean something to the people who mean a lot to me. Because sometimes, I probably may just cherish the person more than they cherish me, and that... kind of hurts ahahaha
First date: Describe your ideal first date.
The bare minimum is that I'm taken to a place to eat. If we're not eating, we are Not going out on a second date.
But since it's my ideal first date, I want to be the one to take the person to a place that means a lot to me. The mall next door to my home, the ice cream place that I always frequent, the park with all the lights that I like to walk around in... I will only date someone if I know them and care about them to the point that I want to take them to the places that always make me smile. I know how good this restaurant is, I know how pretty this park is, so I want to share that little joy with a person that I love.
Now if they do that for me, that's also gonna make me smile a shit ton.
Ballad: Best love song?
. bruh.
HAHAHAHAHAHA WTF I'VE BEEN GOING THROUGH SO MANY LOVE SONGS LATELY 😭😭😭
ok so currently my favorite love song is Betelgeuse by Yuuri. I linked a cover of the song but please listen to the og as well. I've only discovered Yuuri a few days ago and I am obsessed with his songs. Highly suggest checking him out, his love songs are so relatable
But if you want THE best love song in my opinion, you have to listen to Shiwa. It's just a song about growing old with the person you love, and ISTG !!!!!! this song makes me want to get married!!!! 😭 I just want to meet that someone that I can share my life with !!!!!! I swear, it's such an underrated song, you guys have to listen it.
