YUI's new single "I'll be" was aired for the first time yesterday on Japanese Radio.
Thanks to lamevil for recording it.
It's such an encouraging song... addictive as well.
Here are the lyrics, Credit to Uchihamel at YLforum , but I did some editing of the English translation
I’ll be [romaji]
I’ll be kimi no koto
Omoi dashite itanda
Tabidachi wo kimetanda ne
Together itsu datte ouen shiteru yo
Moshi kujikesou ni nattara nee
Heya ni komotteru dake ja dame sa
Machi wo aruite
Kyou no you na
Kimochi torimodoshite Oh Baby Try
Nando datte “Play You”
Yaru shika nain dakara
I’ll be kimi iro ni
Nuri kaete yukeba ii
Mayou koto mo sorya aru kedo sa
Together itsu datte ouen shiteru yo
Moshi kodoku ni makesou nara nee
Suki na uta wo kiite mite hoshii
Hito gomi ni
Magiretatte
Mitsuke daseru kara Oh Baby Try
Egao tte “Play You”
Chikara ni narun dakara
I’ll be kimi no koto
Omoi dashite itanda
Tabidachi wo kimetanda ne
Together itsu datte ouen shiteru yo
Itsuka dareka wo sotto
Aishite yuku toki
Mamoreru yuuki wo
Kimi no naka ni sodatete yukun da
I’ll be sasai na shitsubou wo
Kurikaesu tabi ni kitto
Yasashisa ni fureaeru
Jinsei wa suteta mon ja nai rashii
I’ll be kimi iro ni
Nuri kaete yukeba ii
Mayou koto mo sorya aru kedo sa
Together itsu datte ouen shiteru yo
I’ll be [translation]
[I’ll be] I’ve been recalling
About you
You’ve decided on your journey right
[Together] I’ll believe in you no matter what
If there ever comes a time when you feel like giving up
Don’t just be cooped up in your room
Walk on the streets
Rediscover the feeling
Which you felt on this day [Oh Baby Try]
Over and over again “Play You”
because there is no other way to be.
[I’ll be] You just have to
Paint it into your own colours
Though there will definitely be uncertainties
[Together] ] I’ll always believe in you
If there ever comes a time when you feel like you’re losing to loneliness
Listen to the songs that you love
Even if you are
Lost in the crowd
You’ll be able to find it [Oh Baby Try]
A smile is like “Play You”
and it’ll become your strength
[I’ll be] I’ve been recalling
About you
You’ve decided on your journey right
[Together] I’ll always believe in you
The time when you find yourself slowly
Beginning to love someone
The courage to protect that someone
Will grow in you
[I’ll be] Each time you look back
On those little disappointments definitely
You’ll be able to feel tenderness
It seems life is not something to be thrown away
[I’ll be] You just have to
Paint it into your own colours
Though there will definitely be uncertainties
[Together] I’ll always believe in you
This song is a part of Sony's new walkman campaign "Play You", aimed at empowering young people through music. She's their main spokesperson.
I've had it on loop for half a day now. Still not sick of it. This is why I adore her music, and why I've stopped listening to local English radio where every other song is either emo, angsty, downright depressing, or dirty (think 'my hump').
YUI is such a breath of fresh air because she consistently writes optimistic lyrics and has the rare gift of composing a tune that fits the mood of the song, so that even if you don't understand the words, you get the general 'feel'.
'I'll be' is included on her next release, a compilation album called My Short Stories, which contain all her B-side songs from when she first debuted.

I'm particularly looking forward to the secret street live footages, recorded during her tour middle this year.YUI apparently has a habit of sneaking out with her guitar between concerts and randomly sitting down at some sidewalk to perform. Sugoi, ne?
