"Ikanaide" Acoustic ver. (Vocaloid) English Cover by Lizz Robinett 

I like the fact that this song doesn’t specifically center around a loved one’s death but rather a general feeling of someone leaving for a long time (for school, for work, etc.) or just an acquaintance you’ll never see again. People come and go, that’s certain, but the feelings of their departure is definitely hurtful. All we can do is cry, walk forward, and move further into our lives without them.

My heart what are these feels

I'm trying so hard not to cry. I've been with my boyfriend for a little over a year now, and he lives about 3 hours away. We never get the same days off, so we rarely see each other. And when we do, I just want to cling to him and never let go. But we always have to say goodbye at the end of the day.. My heart always feels like it's shattering when I watch him drive away.

WHO ELSE GOT THE GROSSEST SMILE WHEN THEY SAW THAT LIZZ COVERED IKANAIDE ??

This song means a lot to me and It still does up to this day. I remembered when me and my Best friend was at the airport in Manila because her family was moving to Denver. The two of us were sitting right next to each other, telling stories playing games and listening to music. She loved Japanese music specially anime songs and the funny thing was a day before we went to the airport I was in my room crying so much because I knew she was going away and I can't do anything about it so I thought I'd watch RU-vid to get my mind off of things then this particular song popped up. Ikanaide I immediately clicked and there it was. The most perfect song portraying everything I wanted to say. The song was the Japanese version on the channel "biscuit" The English rendetion from Lizz was actually one of the recommended videos but I just saved it for watch later coz it was getting late and my cousin heard me crying so I decided to sleep. The next day finally came and we left for the airport , I remembered trying to hold back my tears as much as I could and I could see it in her face that she felt upset too. At the airport after talking and almost draining my phones battery from playing mini militia with her. I decided to make her listen to the song we shared my headset, things were starting to feel heavier but I tried not to show too much emotion. The song started and I honestly didn't know how to describe what I felt. I held her hand cause I didn't know what to say,she held it tightly as well as tears were falling from both our eyes, I didn't care what people thought and I think neither did she. Her parents were looking at us and I saw they were shedding tears as well. After the song finished it went to autoplay the next video which was this one the english rendition and All I did was look at her because we didn't have to read the lyrics which made me felt a tiny bit happier. I was trying to smile but my tears wouldn't stop falling I let go of her hand to wipe her tears and to my surprise she hugged me. All I could think of was how much she means to me and all the things we did started coming back. I laughed a little because it was like a movie, everything that was happening. I hugged back and told her I love her. "Don't forget me." she said then I let go to looked at her face , wiped her tears again and I felt a little embarrassed to say "I should be the one saying that. " we both calmed down for a bit until we fell asleep. Her parents woke us up and told me it was time to go. The strange thing was how I felt, I should be devastated by those words but somehow it felt bitter sweet. She was still holding my hand as we walked. We finally reached the point where I couldn't come and she continued walking. I looked down because I thought maybe she'd already accepted that were leaving each other. I started crying again and then I felt it, she was there hugging me again." She turned back ",was all that was going through my mind. She wiped my tears this time held my hand for the last time and gave me the most wonderful smile ever. "I don't how long we'll have to stay" "I'm not sure if we're ever going back" "but you'll still be my best friend" "don't stay up late" "and please answer when I call" I answered just like I always did to her requests. "I'm not promising anything but okay" She laughed and hit my head then she finally turned around and went to her parents. I stayed until I didn't see them anymore.I went back to where we sat and called my uncle to pick me up. I remembered sitting at the back of the car so he wouldn't see me crying. I looked at the window and stared at the road while listening to this. And I still remembered how that last part that last guitar part gave me that feeling I could never explain. That random mix of happiness and sadness I could simply describe it as bittersweet but it isn't that. We finally reached home and I took the best sleep ever. We did talk on the phone but overtime got busy with both our lives. In fact the only reason I came back to this song was because I saw this in my old memory card. So I thought I'd write down my thoughts about it. I wrote it first on my notebook and I read it. I thought it's kinda dumb if no one gets to read this so I'll just post this anonymously haha. What a dumb idea. "thanks for everything and thanks for not forgetting me. Your name is still my favorite. I'll see you at the flower fields Raine."

I couldn't help but to tell you I'd be alright When, to be true, it was tearing me apart inside But it didn't matter since you're walking away so swiftly in front of me And your figure is the only thing I see Plane has arrived, now is the time You're going away again As I try to run, it seems like the ground is slipping from underneath me I shouldn't cry, I shouldn't cry But I can't seem to hold it in Oh, please don't leave me Your silhouette is fading away too quickly for me to bear Just as the wind, you blow by again And suddenly you're not there I shouldn't cry, I shouldn't cry But I can't seem to hold it in Oh, please don't leave me When the fun is over it'll always seem to end the same Though I know it's coming, I can never seem to stop the pain In this very moment, you look even more amazing and I can't avoid your gaze Once again, I can see nothing but your face Time's ticking by, no matter how I try I'm struggling to keep up Night's taken hold as I'm walking home I wonder if I'll be okay alone Lights on the street glow at my feet My shadow is all I've got To keep me company Your silhouette is fading away too quickly for me to bear Just as the dark, it tears me apart My surroundings blur once again I shouldn't cry, I shouldn't cry But I can't seem to hold it in Oh, please don't leave me I shouldn't cry, I shouldn't cry But I can't seem to hold it in Oh, please don't leave me

omgsh lizz this is brilliant! loving your lyrics and vocal to the max now ;m;b

To be honest, this song hits the very center of my heart. Practically every bit of this song relates to exactly how I felt before and how I still feel now. It's terrible, but in a good way. As Banagher once said, "No matter how much pain we feel, we can't close our hearts to it."

This was actually a song that helped me cope with how I felt when my parents got a divorce. The lyrics really just express how anxious I felt about the whole ordeal. So, I'd like to say thank you for this cover. It helped a lot. 😊

This song forever reminding me that I wont be able to see my favorite teacher who not only helped me with my grades but how I'm doing mental as well Mr.norman thank you for everything thank you for caring about me and my friends when you didn't have to thank you for having me in your classroom this year and thank you helping my days a little bit brighter and not putting pressure on back about your work in class thank you for making dumbass jokes to cheer me up thank you for everything Mr norman and please don't forget about me over the years from that one werid kid, me

So, I'm not saying this to be sad, but it can have another meaning (for me anyway). You see, when my grandmother passed away, I had a dream that night before anyone had told me the news. I saw her leave in this dream, and that's how I knew. I woke up crying and then we flew to the hospital she was at due to lung disease. She died in her sleep, and I hope you'll keep her in your thoughts and prayers because the 22nd of this month will be one year since that night... OKAY. I'M NOT CRYING! I ONLY HAVE... SWEAT... YEAH! SWEAT IN MY EYES! THEY'RE HOT!!

~Story Time Of Today~ I had only told my best friends that I was moving this year around about three to four months ago and they sort of knew that from the start. Today, my best friend and I were walking back into class(because we were cleaning the hall) and I said..."Aw sorry, I won't be here next year to say that we should paint our classes blue. Remember, I'm moving?" One of my old friends heard me when he was putting his shoes on and ran to me crying, and started saying...."You're leaving?! Again?!" Honestly, that was the first time I had ever seen him cry, and I smiled for no reason XD "Don't leave me again!" After that was said, I had no idea how to answer! Okay, I'll stop on the dramatic details! But this song sort of reminded me of how my day went today...Weird coincidence right?

God, I got chills down my back when she started singing.

"My shadow is all I've got to keep me company." Beautiful line! I love your lyrics and your voice, Lizz. You're so talented. :D

You know this song meant absolutely nothing to me before 2019. That year changed everything for me, I had some rough spots and met the most amazing girl of my life ever, she's meant so much to me. Yet as time has progressed she talked about moving to another state, and no matter how much I tried to get her to stop she was insistent on living with her friend. It's done nothing but left me hurt and missing her, ive pretended im fine but this long distance is eating at me. I know we're drifting yet she's the only person I have in my head lately. She left months ago, 3 to he exact and yet I can't stop. I miss her and can't do anything about it. And this song, every damned time I hear it makes me cry my eyes out in pain....But what can you do I guess..

SHIT SON. LIKE SHIT. I HAVE BEEN LISTENEING TO MAFUMAFU'S AND JUBY'S COVER TO THIS SONG FOR LIKE 3 DAY'S STRAIGHT. SO I COME HERE TO SPECIFICALLY REQUEST THIS SONG BECAUSE LIZZ IS A WIZARD AND SHE WOULD SOUND AMAZING SINGING IT. AND HERE IT IS. LIZZ ARE YOU PSYCHIC?!?

Thought to myself “I’m okay, I don’t feel a thing” But, in the end, there’s a drag weighing down on me Running on ahead again, you seemed to escape Every step, never touching down Couldn’t do a thing but stare without a sound Guided away, you walk to a train while I’m standing left behind Dashing off instead, I reach out ahead but cant make it through the room in time Eyes getting wet, don't be upset, but my heart really wants to cry “Don't go away yet” You’re moving onto far and beyond, while I’m standing left behind Night running low and leaves me alone, dissolving you from my mind Eyes getting wet, don't be upset, but my heart really wants to cry “Don't go away yet” Festival abating now I’m waiting for reality Yes, in the end, every night is the same old thing Breaking through it all, you were bright, standing tall How could I only see this now? Couldn’t do a thing but stare without a sound The clock moving on, it drags me along with feet buried in the ground Road going home is dark and alone, but I’ll make it out alive somehow Flicks in the night, a lamp giving light, my long shadow left behind I’m on my own, aren’t I? You’re moving onto far and beyond, while I’m standing left behind Night blurring out without any doubt, again it’ll fill my mind Eyes getting wet, don't be upset, but my heart really wants to cry “Don't go away yet” Eyes getting wet, don't be upset, but my heart really wants to cry “Don't go away yet”

it's 2020, and this cover still makes me emotional... quarantine has me going back through all my childhood interests.

テンポがゆっくりになって更にセツナイ思いがあふれています。あなたの素敵な声とギターの音色が私を遠い過去へと誘います。ありがとうございます。 The tempo slowly gets further full of thoughtfulness. Your lovely voice and the sound of the guitar invite me to a distant past. Thank you very much.

Does'nt Ikanaide means "do'nt go" 😢. By the way you have a wonderful voice ♡

I love this song for the fact it really fits with long distance relationships. Last November my boyfriend flew in to visit and well it was hard to see him go. Now he's coming to stay for real and it's exciting. This song really shows that a lot of people aren't alone. And once again there's a beautiful cover that has its own heart to it. Thank you Lizz.

That moment when your watching something emotional and get a notification that this is uploaded. Oh the feels.... Also this is gorgeous! Good job Lizz!

This reminded me of several painful moments.... I think the acoustic with Lizz's voice spark the right sadness of the song.

Story of the day: When I was a little girl, about five years old, I had a female friend that I stuck to for so long. We would practically do everything together. Whether it was from singing and dancing to cooking and adventuring, we would always be the same, inseparable. It was until she turned 9 that she started her small change. Our mothers had a fight, and this caused our relationship to change a little. Instead of always being together in pubic, we would secretly send each others letters. It was not until I turned 10 that she finally gave up, and packed up. The last time I saw her was when I visited her in the airport. We tried to wear our smiles, but we already knew that we would not be able to see each other again. It's kind of funny that my story could relate to this, but...I still miss her. She did not deserve to be sent to her aunts, and it was because of her mother's reaction of me being with her. It was because of me, that she left America. (, _ ,)

I love how lizz can change her voice to suit each different song she sings :3 amazing job!

This hurts way too much.

I love this cover so friggin much it’s so calming. Thank you for putting it into the world

It would be amazing if you can cover "Dear You" :)

Who else clicked like first before actually listening to the cover except for me?

recently, my grandpa suffered a heart attack and was hospitalized. i was so scared, i was worried that my grandpa who had been with my family for so much of my life was going to die. while he was still in the hospital, i ended up listening to this song quite a bit. and i cried. a lot. it just enforced how much i was worried i was going to lose my grandpa to. i didn't want him to leave me or my family or my grandma behind. this specific version of ikanaide just really struck a chord in me. my grandpa's finally out of the hospital and he's feeling much better. every day i call him and my grandma to show them how much i care about the two of them. i can listen to this song without crying, but it still just reminds me how much i don't want to leave behind or be left behind by the people i love.

I have been obsessively listening to this all day.

You have such an ability to pierce into someone's deeper feelings and stir up emotions from some kind of personal experience merely with the way your voice sounds, it's so incredible. You're so talented and skilled, my gosh. ; - ;

I have to wonder how long did it take to get your voice this angelic? Lizz-sama I knew you had a good voice but this is just good beyond belief.

Damn, your vocals and lyrics absolutely broke me apart. Well done, I'm going through some very hard times and I'm finally able to let it out as tears. Thank you... 🥺

omg! I really wish this could be on Spotify!

It's still hits close to home. Or well what was home. In this empty apartment. Home is where the heart is right? Well, I'm no longer home. Still thanks for the sing. Even after years, this finally has a meaning to me. And I haven't cried in so long. Too long. Hopefully, I can find home in someone or at least in myself. Thank you, for helping me with the tears. And thank you for such a beautiful song. Or cover of it.

your cover always makes me cry ;-; i love your voice sm and the lyrics just break my heart ;-; thank you for uploading this cover!!!

I still come back to this cover every now and then. Such a lonely song, and yet I feel accompanied.

I really wish this was on Spotify 😭

C'est trop chouuu comme d'habitude >

I love this song, it has a great tune!!

this is probably my second favorite cover of this song, I love how soft and sad Lizz sounds, and every time I listen to this version I cant help but get the feels.

ahhhhhh my favorite song feat. Yuki Kaai! thank you for making a cover Lizz, as always I enjoy it very much and I'm glad that this is an acoustic version.

The feels! ;-; You sing beautifully

reminds me of Hal Haru TBH The story of Hal Haru takes place in a technologically advanced society in which robots can be programmed to behave like a complete human. A robot is asked to replace Hal, who died in an accident -plane explosion-, to help Kurumi, Hal's girlfriend move on in life. "Hal" struggles to understand the real Hal's past, Kurumi's affections towards Hal as well as the meaning of being alive.

I really feel this song, my mother from a very young age kept flying back to California (we moved to florida). This last time though, its been five years and i havent heard from her since. No call, no text, not even a hard on the holidays. I always remember watching her go through tsa, crying my eyes out standing behind the line. Once, i tried to run to give her one last hug but i was held back by my grandmother. I always listened to this song, but i really needed it tonight.

Your translyric is wonderful and your harmonies are so on point I kind of screamed when I saw this cover

Everytime I hear this song, I cry so hard. Over a year ago, I had my heartbroken by a guy I asked out. He decided to get a girlfriend between the time I asked him out and the day of the date... and he brought her along. I told myself I would never fall in love again... but a year later a boy in the grade above me caught my eye by his nerdy love for gaming and electronics. I didnt realize I liked him until I felt my chest hurt when I overheard a story of how he kissed a girl... He eventually asked me out, since I never got the courage to do it myself. We learned that we both liked each other, imagine that! We decided to become boyfriend and girlfriend... it is our first relationship. One day, on the way home from his house, his younger sister was sitting in the back and just as we pulled into my driveway she said "Too bad he's leaving on a mission this summer." The whole world began to slow down after I processed those words. Everyday that passes is one thats precious to me as I get closer and closer to summer. Two years is such a long time to wait, but he has never failed me. Even though I told him in the car that I was so glad he decided to serve the Lord, my heart was shattered.

This is beatiful Lizz. Actually made me tear up... Good job, really

i dont know why but everytime i hear this, i imagine a cloudy dan rainy days. A day where everything i do just makes me more relaxed.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PRETTY PLEASE put this version on spotify already with some of your other covers so I can put it in my playlist. I love this specific version so much

Holy crap, maybe this is a coincidence but I had commented that your voice would be perfect for this song and now it's here I'm so happy^ v ^~!

Lizz! Can you please do a cover of "Old doll" it's from the game Mad Father. Please do it c: in your voice would be amazing... Love ya :)

the way you translated the lyrics is bringing me to tears

Already 2018 but until now still attached to this song 😥😥

what a beautiful song , Such deep lyrics with so much meaning

I-l'm not crying!! I'm just sweating profusely from my eyes! Okay, I cried so hard.

Thank you Lizz for creating this. It has been helping me with my grieving. There are many beautiful things in this world and this is cover is one of them.

Lizz voice, the acoustics cover all of that can put me in tears T~T

Aaahhhhh this song hurts so much. My bestfriend is moving away to study in Stanford and I’ll be left behind, I knew it was coming, I was the first person to know and I’m very proud of him but that doesn’t change the fact that it would take away several years that we could’ve spent together. 😭

I always think of shintaro and ayano when i hear this

listened to other versions and this one made me cry 😢😢 Your so good it touched my soul!!!

3 words.. THAT. WAS. AMAZING. seriosly, you have a beatiful voice of a goddess.

singer: "I shouldn't cry__" me: *CRIES INSTANTLY*

Gorgeous! I love this song so much, and the acoustic arrangement is just amazing. I really want to learn the guitar part now. ;_;

Thank you for all your hard work and providing me and all the rest of the world with your beautiful covers! =)

Your lyrics are the best I have heard so far!! You did an amazing job on the vocals aswell as the lyrics!

Cannot listen to this song without instantly tearing up. When I think of this, I think of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your lie in April).

This is awesome Lizz

Nobody's actually born with a talent, but you rock at singing about all of your songs you sung and uploaded are becoming my favorite songs! Keep it up!

My ex lived about an hour from me but we never could get time to see each other after high school. I had college, he had work. Our schedules just never aligned. Whenever we did see each other we also clung to each other, not wanting to let each other go. Watching him leave at the end of the day killed me every time knowing full well it could be awhile till we saw each other again. This went on for about 2 years then eventually the distance became too much and we just drifted apart. We lasted 6 years together in the end. We had a good run, but we just didn’t have time for a proper relationship.

Lizz is it ok if I use this for an animatic I was going to use jubys but this one sounds sadder so can I plezz?

May I use the lyrics?

This is the only song I’ve heard which describes the pain I feel every time I leave my dad at the airport. I’ve been having to travel interstate for like 5 years now to see my dad once my parents split, and yet every single time I can’t help and cry

Stop covering my favorite songs! You're keeping my from my homework with your awesomeness! X_X

I'm sorry... I hear it's not good to request things from authors and artists, but I can't help myself. I really admire you, Lizz. You've got a beautiful voice, and do many different kinds of covers. Upbeat, wistful, calming. You've come so far on RU-vid. I think you know Idol m@ster...right? I was wondering if you'd possibly do a cover of Aoi Tori by Chihaya. I haven't been able to find a version I like as much yet, because the idols use muscle to sing, and the other covers often don't capture the true beauty of it. I've found myself also wanting to learn it, and your voice is very clear and unwavering. It's hard to learn Aoi Tori for me because I haven't sung many Japanese songs, and I haven't reached where you're at yet, though I hope one day I will be able to. Aoi Tori also isn't a very slow song, but I loved the song when I heard it. I feel like perhaps the piano version would suit you.

Ow my insides hurt trying to hold it together ;-;

This is one of my favorite songs and now there's an English version. Thank you~

This song will always have a special place in my heart. It may sound silly but this is one of very few things that can make me relive my feelings

this song goes to my story quite well if i say so myself :3

The only thing that breaks my heart more than this song is the fact that I can't download it.

Lizz is quickly becoming one of my favorite singers. I'm always happy to hear one of her songs.

This is beutiful. It's 2018 yet this song still gets me. It's just that, Your voice, It's so soothing and sweet. Please, Keep up the great work. -One of your biggest fans.

It's so sad... but beautiful ; - ; ♥

Lizz please do a cover of, "And I'm Home" from Madoka Magica!

I've actually wanted you to do this song for SO LONG now! YAY~! Thanks!

This a really smooth english version, thank you.

so... beautiful... ; v ;

Tempted to make a reverse version from the POV of the one leaving

The feels.......THEY MAKE ME FEEL SO SAD YET SO- SO- SO EMOTIONAL!!!!

So much emotion in your voice ;;;; It's beautiful

Excuse me, i'm Korean and I want to use yout lyrics:) May i use your lyrics?I'm Korean So please answer ' yes ' or ' no ' .. Sorry.. Thank you:)

listening to this after watching osomatsu-san episode 24 makes ne want to punch a hole through something.

My one biggest fear is being abandoned or left behind, and this song is so perfect. Thx so much!

Ahhhhh, this is so great! The lyrics are so soothing!

Hi Lizz, I was wondering, would it be okay to use your lyrics for a cover?
