Japanese Singer

Good afternoon.

Today's post will be of one of my favorite singers from Japan.
Utada Hikaru.  I first fell in love with her music when I first heard it on one of my Video Games call Kingdom Hearts.  Here is one of her songs that I found on YouTube.
Mother, why is it
That all the things we were brought up to cherish
Are the very same things we eventually work to destroy?

Without doing away with
This increasingly senseless collage of reality,
I will be left with nothing to hold on to
Even if I were to keep holding on to your hand…

Be my last… be my last…
Be my last… be my last…
I beg of you, you have to be my last…

Friends without faces encouraged me to give it my best
We really did our best, didn't we?
Though falling into this love was a mistake,
What we had was not a mistake at all

My hands aren't able to hold on to you
How far are we dreaming?

With my hands… with my hands…
With my hands… with my hands…
You have to be my last

Rather than waiting to be with you one day,
I would prefer to be with you for an hour tonight

My hands no longer hold on to anything
Who is this person staring back at me, believing she has grown up?

Be my last… be my last…
Be my last… be my last…
Please, I am begging you to be my last…

Lyrics I found was from
