WATANABE NEZUMI

On April 6, AKB48 performed the second half of their Request Hour event. The first half was already performed on January 23-26 with 25 songs on each day. Now the final 100 ranks were presented on one day, split into two concerts. This year was the first time this system was used, until now the Request Hour only had 100 ranks performed on four days.

The winner song this year is Seijun Philosophy, a coupling track of [Heart Ereki] sung by current Team 4.

As a surprise 4 AKB48 graduates made an appearance at the second concert: Maeda Atsuko, Itano Tomomi, Shinoda Mariko and Sato Amina. Soon to graduate Oshima Yuko only performed her solo song Nakinagara Hohoende.

Ranks 200-101 are listed here.

 EN4. After Rain

KANJI & KANA
ねえ　君のために
何ができるのかな?
僕は考えたけど
何も浮かばない

そう　君に贈る
花も持っていないし
安いダイヤモンドも
僕は買えないよ

こんなに君を
愛してても
僕の想い
伝わらなくて
切なくなって来る

いつでも　そばにいてあげる
それしか　僕にはできない
時の砂が
落ちる音を
聴きながら眠ろうか?

ねえ　君のために
歌を歌いたいんだ
決して　上手くないけど
せめて子守唄

そう　眠るまでは
僕が起きているから
寝顔　微笑むような
夢を見て欲しい

どんなに君を
愛してるか
言葉よりも
確かなものは
共に過ごす時間

いつでも　そばにいてあげる
それしか　僕にはできない
遠い潮騒
君の寝息
聴きながら　夜明けまで

いつでも　そばにいてあげる
それしか　僕にはできない
時の砂が
落ちる音を
聴きながら眠ろうか?

ENGLISH TRANSLATION
Hey, I wonder what I can do
for you?
I thought about it but
nothing came to mind

Yes, I don't have any
flowers to send you, and
I can't even afford to buy
a cheap diamond

Even though I love you
this much
my feelings
won't reach you
It's becoming painful

I will always be by your side
I can't do anything besides that
Shall we sleep
while listening to the sound
of the sands of time falling?

Hey, I want to sing
a song for you
It won't be skillful, but
it will at least be a lullaby

Yes, until you sleep
I will be awake, so
I want you to have dreams
that will put a smile on your sleeping face

How much
do I love you?
A certainty
More than words
Is the time we spend together

I will always be by your side
I can't do anything besides that
I will listen to the distant sea
and the sound of your breath in sleep
until dawn

I will always be by your side
I can't do anything besides that
Shall we sleep
while listening to the sound
of the sands of time falling?
