"I began searching for you, many lives before we were even born."
Hi there! Been a while, huh?
Sorry for the delay, life got in the way. But hey! Kimi no Na wa month continues into December, and will finish before the year is out~!
This song was such a joy to work on, from start to finish. Writing the lyrics, and the voice acting in particular was just so fun. I got to direct for the first time too!
Shout out to BriCie for being awesome. For someone who's never acted before, she was very directable and great to work with! All our singing aside, she's a great person, and we've stuck by each other for so long. I'm glad to call her my friend.
Next up is Nandemonaiya! I'll see you all next week!
'Til Then!

DISCLAIMER: I feel I should say, I don't think waiting tables is easy at all. It's friggin' difficult. Taki says it is 'cause he's a jackass who's good at it.

SCRIPT & LYRICS:
"Could this... Could this mean...?"
"No, no, no, no...!
Could this mean... that we're really...?"
"That we're... in our dreams, that guy and I..."
"That we're... in our dreams, that girl and I..."
"We're switching places!?"
You've woken up! Well, it's about time!
I've been waiting for so long... What's wrong?
Why won't you look me in the eye?
"You're late," you say... Well, sorry 'bout that!
I got lost upon my way, but hey,
I got here quickly as I can!
My heart raced before my brain to you!
I've never felt it beat so fast!
Just the sight of your hair's shine,
the Sparkle in your eyes it makes my chest heat up!
We're breathin' the same air in!
The same moment! I never wanna' let it go!
It's a voice I'd never heard before...
until it showed up one day!
A time before the light was born!
What am I supposed to say?
So many days, years, lives, lifetimes ago,
I think I found something that I never knew!
I've traveled the galaxies, but somehow that smile I see
upon your face, it led me right to you!
So many pieces disappear to the wind,
and when we're scattered to the air!
I know it's not the end! You're still somewhere out there, and
I'll wait for you 'til then!
Or maybe I can fly to the ends of the sky
and start the universe over again?
Okay, you're here... Now, where do I start?
From the time you were asleep,
or every moment that we've been apart?
So many things that I'd like to say!
Stories worth a thousand light years, or
at least enough to fill the space!
It's the story of my life, but you're my everything
so call my name!
I just wanna' play around,
your head's up in the clouds, you're like a shining star!
I just wanna' love your pain!
The scars that never fade, they make you who you are!
You and I have met before!
A memory so far away!
But when I take that hand of yours...
I know I can't make you stay...
So many days, years, lives, lifetimes ago,
I felt like I lost something I never knew!
I've seen many miles of tears, but somehow that laugh I hear
above the rest, it led me right to you!
So many things could change in one night alone!
Together, we could make our lives our own!
I'll never lose my way! No, never again, you'll stay
in my heart eternally!
And I will struggle beautifully, forever and every day
until you return to me!
"Guys'll stare, so watch the skirt!
These are basics for a girl!"
"Yeah... whatever...
Will you stop blowing my money on sweets?"
"It's going in your body!
Besides, your job is such a pain... Lemme' celebrate!"
"Celebrate what?! You got the easy crap!
Braiding cords is impossible! All you gotta' do is wait tables!"
"But you work waaay too many shifts..."
"Because you keep wasting my money!!"
"Went for coffee with Ms. Okudera on the way home!
You two have a good thing goin'!"
"Mitsuha... Quit messing with my love life!"
"Look who's talkin'! I was on the way to school
with Tessie and Saya the other day...
and you know what happened?
A girl came up and confessed to me!"
"It's not my fault... I can't help it!
Besides, you're more popular when I'm you."
"Ooh, look at you, Mr. Ladies Man!
If you're so popular, why am I the one chatting up girls for you?"
"I never asked for your help!
And if you're so confident in your matchmaking skills,
get yourself a boyfriend, why don'tcha!?"
"I told you..."
"I told you..."
"I'm single because I wanna' be!"
Days, years, lives, and all of our time,
I found what we've been looking for all along!
A smile so innocent! Laughter so different!
Who knew that it could play this kind of song!
So many pieces disappear to the years,
but even if you fade away!
I know it's not the end! You're still somewhere out there, and
I'll wait for you 'til then!
I'll hum our tune for centuries, for all of eternity,
until I see you again!
