A line I don't want to forget
I have a lot of friends I get along with, I just don't realize it right now
RC Succession "Wakashita dareru sa" (You'll Understand Me) (1976) Lyrics by Kiyoshiro Imawano
It's rare that feelings can be turned into a song directly. Feelings have no shape or form, so when they are turned into a song, they barely hold together as a song, and have a strange balance and ensemble. But they still have a nonchalant, "Thank you" look on their face. This song is no exception. The protagonist, who is not yet understood, sings only of hope. His determination to keep sowing seeds is touching.
I don't want to forget my own line
Dance is always your ally, so leave aside the things you don't understand
From Summer Eye's "Failure."

A line I don't want to forget
You've lived today too, whether you want to or not
THE NOVEMBERS "I Lived Today Too" (2014) Lyrics by Kobayashi Yusuke
Just saying to yourself, "I'm alive today," makes me feel like it's enough, even on an uneventful day or the worst day. This is an amazing lyric that reaffirms in just one sentence how precious the bare minimum act of living is. The subsequent line, "Whether you want it or not," brings to light the various aspects of "life." I'm fascinated by the beauty of these 17 characters.
I don't want to forget my own line
Only by making mistakes can I use the needle of life correctly
From Gesu no Kiwami Otome's "Needle of Life".

A line I don't want to forget
Because words always contain lies
Shiina Ringo "Abundant Wealth" (2009) Lyrics by Shiina Ringo
Because I believe in the power of words, there are times when I feel overwhelmed by their strength. In the midst of those times, these lyrics resonated with me with such gentleness. Until now, I had always thought that words were symbols and were eternal. But it is precisely because they are symbols that they can contain both lies and truths. I found solace in the fact that behind hurtful words lie complex human emotions beyond just that.
I don't want to forget my own line
Even if I can't love or forgive the me reflected in the mirror, who is nobody, I'm the one I want to embrace the most
From Kayoko Yoshizawa "I Want to Hold You"

A line I don't want to forget
For my friends whose backs I couldn't find in the TV dramas every Friday and Saturday
RHYMESTER "B-BOYism" (1998) Lyrics by S. Sasaki and D. Sakama
No matter what I saw on TV, in manga or magazines, there were no characters I could relate to. I didn't get along with people. Anger and sadness would come over me alternately. I didn't yet have the words or a way to express these feelings, and I was wondering who I really was when I came across this song. It brought me joy to realize that there might be other people who felt the same way. Now I too am writing lyrics for people like me.
I don't want to forget my own line
It's worn out and I put it on my private account
From valknee's "DEVIL IN MY HEAD".
