Close To Me

Close To Me by BoA

taken from her Shout It Out single.

Coz I am jobless and hating my job (plus a certain someone) to death (╹◡╹)凸

I am making myself busy by trying to memorize this song by the end of this week.

This song was supposed to be easy because it has so much English that I don't understand why is it not in English saja? щ（ﾟДﾟщ）

But it's not easy. I'm always off key during the chorus (not saying I wasn't during any other part of the song; it's just I am more off-key-err during the chorus). and I really don't know how I else I should do it.

I only just realize that I actually have the minus one (meaning the karaoke version or on the official Track List says 'Close To Me (Inst)' Inst being instrument only) version of this song! Now I can record myself (as I usually do when I'm "memorizing" a song) and pretended that I'm in some kind of a studio, recording my new single (n˘v˘•)¬ 
Currently I've recorded two and I'm not very happy with the outcome. 

Practice makes perfect they said.

But I say, lets just give it a rest for tonight and try again ...say, next month.

ahahahaha

So for now, enjoy. 

Here's the romanized lyrics for you to read. 

Let's memorize together! xD

Sitting alone kabe ni motare reminiscing

Taiyo falling thru kigi no suki ma kara

Now I'm so sorry Konnanimo afure teru

Amai kaori ni

kizuite you're my something I'll be next to you

Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay

Zutto isshoda yo and don't go away

you're always here with me Ima, ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide

Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni

Now I'm getting you close to me

Mayoikonda koneko no yo It's embarrassing

Kako mo, ima mo, mirai everyday

I'm looking at pictures and know you and then donna ni datte

Aoku tada so clear

Kizuite you're my something I'll be next to you

Am I getting too close? I just want you to stay

Zutto isshoda yo and don't go away

You're always here with me imma ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide

Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni

now I'm getting you close to me

You are the sin, you are the light

You are in my perfect picture, here I am

mo hitostu can I ask

Oh am I getting too close

I just want you to stay zutto isshoda yo and don't go away

you're always here with mr imma ai no uta ryute tsutsumikonde hanasanaide

Sono nukumori o kawarazu ni

and now I'm getting you close to me (close to me)

oh I'll be next to you now I'm getting you close to me

Here's also the live version

I have a love/hate thing with this live version. i hate it coz she used too much nostril voice. I love it coz towards the end when she builds up the song, it's her awesome live voice that made me love her so much! 
but no matter, you gotta respect BoA for getting where she is now. I know she deserves it. I'm not really a 'constant' fan of hers but from where I've been following her up until now, I've seen her hard work and versatility. I just hope she will stop trying so hard to break it into the US (as in becoming English). She is great where she is now, she should focus on that. I'm not saying she shouldn't try at all. I'm saying stop 'trying too hard' and lose focus. that's all I'm saying.
Remember her Make Your Move movie? BoA was the female lead and at one point the movie was just trying so hard to make this Aya's character 'awesome' like she can switch languages without trouble; speaking Japanese to her friend and then spoke Korean with her brother in the same conversation. It's just, maybe not the best way to sell a movie? I don't know. 
Critical Analyzing maybe one of the Sept characteristics but Music/Movie business isn't really my forte so, imma shut dap now. 

Maybe I should try and stay focus instead ~(◠﹏⊙✿)
