Hana Yori Dango 2 Theme Song

I have posted this song lyric on my friendster account. For those who have watched Hana Yori Dango, it’s the Japanese version of Taiwanese boy group F4’s Meteor Garden, this is the theme song of the said soap drama. I think it is being aired by GMA7; I never had the chance to watch it because I’m a certified Kapamilya. And I already watched bits of it while I’m still in Japan. I really love the song; even my daughter can sing the chorus line although it is Japanese. You can see the video of this song in youtube, just look for Utada Hikaru’s The Flavor of life. Also, I recommend you to try Utada’s other song like First Love, it seems like Toni Gonzaga’s We Belong (I am not sure with the title) has the same beat or even line! Can’t tell if who is the original and the imitator. But definitely, good music… so try it! It is not only the beat but the meaning of the song is also nice.

Flavor of Life

ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだかせつない
さようならの後も解けも魔法
淡くほる苦い
The flavor of life

友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
収穫の日を夢見てる青いフルーツ

あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで
じれったいのなんのって baby

ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだかせつない
さようならの後も解けも魔法
淡くほる苦い
The flavor of life

甘いだけの誘い文句
味っけの無いトーク
そんなものには興味をそそられない

思い通りにいかない時だって
人生捨てたもんじゃないって

どうしたの？と急に聞かれると
ううん、なんでもない
さようならの後に消える笑顔
私らしくない

信じたいと願えば願うほど
なんだからせつない
愛してるよよりも大好きの方が
君らしいんじゃない？
The flavor of life

忘れかけていた人の香りを突然思い出す頃
降りつもる雪の白さをもっと素直に喜びたいよ

ダイアモンドよりもやわらかくて
あたたかな未来手にしたいよ
限りある時間を君と過ごしたい

ありがとう、と君に言われると
なんだかせつない
さようならの後も解けも魔法
淡くほる苦い
The flavor of life

 

Here’s the romanized lyrics of the above song.

Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to
