[Chorus]
Kimi ni mune kyun
The summer brings the sun
And can the summer tell
What I hide so well

Kimi ni mune kyun
My partner is the sun
I wonder does she know
That I love her so

[Verse 1]
Glimmers on the sea point to the sun
Breaking into stars then back to one
My eyes are burning, my heart is yearning
Yearning for the worship of someone

[Chorus]
Kimi ni mune kyun
So hard to tell someone
So hard to say you care
Here and everywhere

Kimi ni mune kyun
A shadow of the sun
A cloud that runs before
And along the shore

[Verse 2]
Measuring the space between two hearts
Suffering the time we are apart
Oh I'll feel sorrow, again tomorrow
I don't want this feeling to depart

[Chorus]
Kimi ni mune kyun
The summer brings the sun
And can the summer tell
What I hide so well

Kimi ni mune kyun
My partner is the sun
I wonder does she know
That I love her so

The Human League are a synth pop band from Sheffield, England, formed in 1977. They generated a string of synthesizer-backed dance pop hits throughout the 80s. David Bowie dubbed the group “the sound of the future” in 1981.

The band is best known for its third studio album released in 1981, Dare! The fourth single from Dare, “Don’t You Want Me,” catapulted to #1 in the UK and US.

Phil Oakey is the only core member of the group. The band’s first incarnation was as an arty all-male synthesizer group, composed of Oakey, Martyn Ware, and Ian Craig Marsh. In the 1980s, Ware and Marsh left the group after continued conflicts with Oakey—they went on to form Heaven 17.
