“That overflowing feeling became love. But I don't sing for Ren's sake. I sing for myself everyday.”

“The feeling that was born that night, how could i describe it?Words like love or lust just don't seem right. I may call it jealousy, or may be anxiety and moreover, need. Even now I'm anxious at times because when I am with Ren, everything around feels like a dream. That was how Ren turned my boring life into an illusion, and that was too much for no matter how hard i tried, it seemed I could never catch him.”

“Don't say the words I wanted to hear from Ren.”

“I broke up with Ren a year and nine months ago. Soon it will be two springs.My 20th birthday is in march. I'm working hard to buy myself a present.A one-way ticket to Tokyo.I will just carry my guitar and cigarettes.”

“From that day on it was as if Ren freed me from gravity. I was floating in the sky. Higher. Higher. Higher.”

“The loneliness caused by not hearing Ren's voice... I felt it deep in the night. I felt it deeper than anyone else. Even now at times I look back. In this ordinary life without Ren, I think my life with him was like a dream. Especially on a snowy night like this. On a night as cold as this. Someone keep this guy warm for me, please.”

“Right now I am full of greed and vanity, so I cannot live with you like before. But may be we can meet like this. I think just being together and talking would be nice. But when we grow old, when greed and vanity will be completely gone, when I will be tired of singing can I return to that place too?”
