Minako Honda 本田美奈子. INOUE AKIRA & M.I.H. BAND [wish] Fukuyama Masaharu 福山雅治

When Honda Minako was in the hospital she composed a lyric for a song she would sing upon her return to the stage and concert hall. She sent the unfinished lyric to her friend, Inoue Akira. Inoue Akira assembled a group of friends, including Masaharu Fukuyama, and they recorded a tape of the song and sent it to Minako. At that time, neither Minako nor "Masha" knew that each were fans of one another. Honda Minako did not live to complete the song. The lyric was completed by Ichikura Hiroshi, and the group proceeded to record the song as part of the album "[wish] released in 2006, upon the first anniversary of her passing

ささやかな幸せと好きな歌を信じて心おだやかな朝書き出した手紙いまはすべて 輝くいまがすべて 眩しいほどに Letters now exported morning calm mind likes to believe song is so little happiness every now shining bright for all

駆けまわるこどもなら素直に感じること風が気持ちよいことただ忘れていた日々はすべて 生まれる日々はいつも 新しくなる Pleasant day that I had forgotten just honestly feel the wind rush around children every day if everything is new born always

あたりまえの ことばたち「ありがとう」も 「おはよう」もあたりまえの ことばかり美しく思えるそんな日がある Word of their customary "thank you" or "Good morning" is just beautiful and such a day that seemed too obvious

振り向けば そばにいておしゃべりして 笑ってひとにつながりながらいま生きていること時は そっと教える時が きっと愛おしくなる Now when you live with people laughing and talking leads to stay with you turn around time will surely tip someone dear

あたりまえに 来る朝も光る海も 雨の街もあたりまえの ことなのにかけがえのない日々 Precious days, but the city is also obvious that morning and the rain comes shining sea obvious

生きる意味は 生きること探しながら 迷いながら生きるために 生きることかけがえのない日々ただ抱きしめて Embrace the meaning of life is precious to live every day just to survive while looking for lost living

いまそこにあるその幸せを... The happiness is there now ...
