"Flavor of Life" Lyrics - Utada Hikaru

For linguistic convenience, I've decided to post the lyrics for Utada Hikaru's Single [Flavor of Life] online:


ありがとうと君に言われると
Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to
なんだか切ない
nandaka setsunai
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
sayonara no ato mo tokenu mahou
淡くほろ苦い
awaku horonigai
The flavor of life...... The flavor of life......
The flavor of life...... The flavor of life......

友達でも恋人でもない中間地点で
tomodachi demo koibito demo nai chuukan chiten de
収穫の時を夢見てる青いフルーツ
shuukaku no hi wo yumemiteru aoi furu-tsu
あと一歩が踏み出せないせいで
ato ippo ga fumidasenai sei de
じれったいの何のってBaby
Jirettai no nani notte? Baby


ありがとうと君に言われると
Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to
なんだか切ない
nandaka setsunai
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
sayonara no ato mo tokenu mahou
淡くほろ苦い
awaku horonigai
The flavor of life...... The flavor of life......
The flavor of life...... The flavor of life......

甘いだけの誘い文句
amai dake no sasoi monku
味気のないTalk
ajike no nai doku
そんなものには興味をそそられない
sonna mono ni wa kyoumi wa sosorarenai


思い通りにいかない時だって
omoitoori ni ikanai toki datte
人生捨てたもんじゃないって
jinsei suteta mon janai tte


「どうしたの？」と
doushita no? to
急に聞かれると
kyuu ni kikareru to
「ううん、何でもない」
“uun. nandemo nai”
さようならの後に消える笑顔
sayounara no ato ni kieru egao
私らしくない
watashi rashikunai


信じたいと願えば願うほど
sinjitai to negaeba negau hodo
なんだか切ない
nandaka setsunai
「愛してるよ」よりも「大好き」の方が
“aishiteru yo” yori mo “daisuki” no hou ga
君らしいんじゃない
kimi rashii janai?
The flavor of life…
The flavor of life...


忘れかけてた人の香りを
wasurekakete ita hito no kaori wo
突然思い出す頃
totsuzen omoidasu koro
降り積もる雪の白さをもっと
furitsumoru yuki no shirosa wo omou to
素直に喜びたいよ
sunao ni yorokobitai yo


ダイヤモンドより軟らかくて
daiyamondo yorimo yawarakakute
温かな未来
atatakana mirai
手にしたいよ限りある時間を
teni shitai yo kagiri aru jikan wo
君と過ごしたい
kimi to sugoshitai


ありがとうと君に言われると
Arigatou to kimi ni iwareru to
なんだか切ない
nandaka setsunai
さようならの後も解けぬ魔法
sayonara no ato mo tokenu mahou
淡くほろ苦い
awaku horonigai
The flavor of life......The flavor of life...
The flavor of life......The flavor of life...

Did you know...
Utada Hikaru (宇多田 ヒカル born January 19, 1983), also known by her fan-nickname of Hikki (ヒッキー, Hikkī), is a well-known solo or female artist in Japan and in the US.
Utada Hikaru was born in New York to Japanese parents with roots in the Japanese music industry. Her father, Teruzane Utada, was a record producer. Her mother, Junko Utada, was an enka singer, performing under the stage name "Keiko Fuji." Utada Hikaru made her first professional recording at the age of twelve. "I’ll Be Stronger" was the first song Utada Hikaru wrote.
(Check out her official blog at U3MUSIC INC, English translations at Hikki Texts.)

Thought Thread...
The sales for releasing Singles may be poor for most singers in Singapore/Taiwan/Hong Kong market, but it is definitely not the case for Hot-on-demand composer-singers in Japan.
Chinese market singers bundle in many songs into their CD, which, in my perspective, sub-cultivates Chinese audience of having "more, more, more" mentality.
Anyway, if you get your hands on a Singles compilation album, most likely ALL the songs are excellent.
