Please hear me
I want to tell you
Please sing to me
I wanna hear your voice

Toki no kodou ga mada hibiku aida hadaka no kotoba mune ni tojikometa
Kioku no iro ga nijimi hajimeru yabureta sekai no sumi de
Nani mo motomezu ni tada dakiyoseru ima no boku ni wa sore shika dekinai
Furueta tsuyogari demo PURAIDO ni mieru hagureta kodomo no you ni

Saigo no koe sae mo kaze ga samayou sei de kesareta
Tsuki ni te wo muketa mama kimi wa sora no hoshi ni kieta

"Soba ni ite" to dakishimete mo mou nidoto kikoenai kimi no utagoe wa
Furisosoida ame no SAIREN boku no kawari ni ima kono sora ga nakitsuzukeru

Kore made fumitsukete kita oshie wo ima kakiatsume kono mune ni atete mo
Sukui motome utau you na o-yuugi ni mieru monogataru otona no you ni

Kotoba ni yorisou dake no kara no ai to michibiki wa iranai
Kazarareta inori de wa asu no tegakari ni sawarenai

Itsuka kimi ni todoku hazu no na mo naki osanai shi ga egaku wagamama wo
Wasuretai yo ichido dake nemurenu kanashimi ga sono uta wo dakishimeteru

Freezing cold shatters my sorrow
And scorching sand puts it together again

Nagesuterareru tadashisa nara kieru koto nai machigai no hou ga ii
Okubyou ni kakushiteta koe wo ima kono te de mou ichido saraseba ii

Tsukamu kidou mo saku hikari mo kawaita kokoro no sei de MONOKURO ni mieta
Wasurenai yo kyou no keshiki wo arifureta negai ga ashimoto wo terashite kureru

Aimer

Aimer (エメ Eme, [eme]) is a Japanese pop singer and lyricist signed to SME Records and managed by FOURseam. Her name comes from the verb “Aimer” in French which means “to love”.

Aimer grew up around music and has a strong music background. Her father is a bassist in a band and she began studying piano in elementary school. She held Ringo Sheena and Utada Hikaru up to be her role models. In her years of junior high, Avril Lavigne inspired her to study guitar and begin writing English lyrics. At the age of fifteen, Aimer lost her voice due to the over-usage of her vocal chords, prompting her to undergo silence therapy to treat her condition. Fortunately, she recovered and the incident resulted in acquiring her signature husky voice.

Aimer started her career with a group called Agehasprings to collaborate on writing, producing and distributing music to various artists, including Yuki, Mika Nakashima, Flumpool, Superfly, Yuzu and Genki Rockets. She released her first album in May 2011 titled “Your favorite things” comprised of various genres like jazz and country western music. Though, Aimer went on to provide a signature genre of pop rock under her name, with her songs being featured in Japanese animes.
