The lyrics touched my heart... While I was listening, I looked at Gaki's picture. I can't barely tell if she was smiling or not. But I listened to the song without smiling (promise... I didn't really smile and showing a very sad face)
I almost cried.. I just kept looking at Gaki's pic until she said "Thank you, my friend(s)" I kinda like... smile.
Just like I said to myself... "Now that I know all about Gaki, her blog, her warm heart
, and now that I am loving her, why must be the time for her to graduate?? I haven't even had the chance to say or call her Gaki-chan
Oh why?"
Ai MUST really come...
They both stayed for 1 decade (I think it's the limitation xD) And their 50th single without 5th gen??? I think this must be the start of the REAL NEW generation of Morning Musume. Did you get my point??
EDIT - And just look at the title.. "Egao ni Namida" The title has words 'egao' (smile) and 'namida' (tears) It's a very perfect graduation song
[And because of that, I will dub 'Omoide' (Memories) for Gaki.. Especially the part... "omoide BYE BYE" ]
