YOASOBI「夜に駆ける」 Official Music Video

沈むように溶けてゆくように

二人だけの空が広がる夜に

It seems like sinking or melting

The two of us are alone in the vast sky

「さよなら」だけだった

その一言で全てが分かった

日が沈み出した空と君の姿

フェンス越しに重なっていた

　The only word you said was ‘Sayonara’

I could tell everything when I hear the word

In the sky, the sun was setting, and I saw you

standing with the sunset on your back over the fence

初めて会った日から

僕の心の全てを纏う君は

寂しい目をしてたんだ

　From the first day we met

You have occupied my mind

with the lonely-looking eyes

いつだってチックタックと

鳴る世界で何度だってさ

触れる心無い言葉うるさい声に

涙が零れそうでも

ありきたりな喜びきっと二人なら見つけられる

　We are living in the world where people

are always busy about trifles

With the countless harsh words by them,

we are almost crying but

I believe we can find joy in life

……

　イントロでもう心をわしづかみされます。歌謡曲と呼びたくなるほどにキャッチーなメロディーを聴くにつけ、驚きの再生回数にも納得してしまいます。5月15日には、YouTubeの一発撮り企画「THE HOME TAKE」に、ボーカルのikuraさんがこの曲を歌う動画がアップされています。

YOASOBI - 夜に駆ける / THE HOME TAKE

　I was carried away with the first few bars of this song. The melody is so catchy that I feel like calling it a traditional J-pop, and I’m convinced by the surprising number of views. On May 15, another MV to this song in which you can watch the vocalist ikura singing was uploaded to ‘THE HOME TAKE’, the one-shot-project by YouTube.

　すでに多くの人の耳に届いているこの曲をさらに世に知らしめる出来事がありました。つい先日、香取慎吾さんが自身のYouTubeにおいて、「#歌ってみた」としてこの曲を取り上げたのです。慎吾さんのツイッターには、Ayaseさんとikuraさんが感謝を伝える返信も上げられていました。ぱっと見ふざけているようで、本気です。こちらも観る価値ありです。

　This song has already been famous enough, but there was a thing that would make it more popular. Katori Shingo uploaded an MV in which he was singing this song to his own YouTube channel. Shingo also tweeted this MV and you can see the reply from Ayase and ikura telling their appreciation to him. He may look as though he is joking, but he really means it. It's worth watching, too.
