Hachi, si Delapan

16 September 2016

Gue sangat menyukai karya dari Jepang, karena biasanya karya dari Jepang lebih "dramatis" daripada karya dari Barat. Contohnya dari film, kerajinan, lukisan, hingga lagu. Gue sangat suka lagu Populer Jepang, aka J-POP. Gue suka dengan Amazarashi, Hachi, FaLiLV, One OK Rock, dll. (meskipun yang dua tadi bukan pop tapi rock -_-)

Sebelum gue ngefans ama Hachi, gue baru liat salah satu MVnya yang berjudul Vivi, berikut videonya:

Alasan mengapa gue suka terhadap video ini, karena selain gaya artworknya yang terlihat menawan, juga gue suka liriknya, karena memang leh uga.

Words I kept in
swallowed them back so sadly
make a trail as they follow after me
Words I let go
shouted them out so loudly
Now they're going, and I can't take them back, 
now I see

When I'm talking, you can smell the lies on my breath
What I try to make, it all ends up so formless
No, I can't get anything to be how I wish
I feel my worthlessness

Oh, I love you so, Vivi
Yet, I know a new day comes
"Bye bye" is what I'll say
when I have to go away
In a sleepy, little town
see the ashes all around
Now I have to say goodbye,
and I'm leaving you behind

Here I write down,
letters I might give to you
Thinking back on all things we've been through
Beautiful, I see just how lovely you are
But I cannot seem to get my words down on the page

Guess it seems that I cannot get the right words
They seem turn into the lies that I've heard
And they fly off, wandering away like birds
They're dirty now, I know

Oh, I love you so, Vivi
Yet I know a new day comes
And the 'us' we knew today
will begin to fade away
But forget the things I say
they don't matter anyway
In a place where nothing's left
I don't have a word to say

Amber colors start to give way
without the balloons, the caribou will fly today
Bronzed and legless, the turkey's at your side
While the birds will dance, can you see them on the rise?

News is noisy, it's making such a fuss
"All the kids are gone" says the man in such a rush
Though I cry, I know that I'm singing loud
as the fish's eyes stare at me from all around

Even with a heart that is broken up beyond repair
I walked with you, I ignored all my despair

Oh, I love you so, Vivi
Yet, I know a new day comes
"Bye bye" is what I'll say
when I have to go away
In a sleepy, little town
see the ashes all around
Now I have to say goodbye,
and I'm leaving you behind

All the words that I let go
and your touch is what I know
Yet I didn't say a thing,
it's the reason why I sing

Oh, I love you so Vivi
Oh, I love you so Vivi
But our love, although we tried
is nothing but our goodbye

Liriknya bener-bener ngena di hati, MV lainnya pun juga "memperkosa" telingaku sampai terasuki setan musik, beneran... Sampe sekarang aku masih dengerin musik-musik dari Hachi.

Btw, mas Hachi gans juga yak~~ *gue bukan homonese*

Ngomong-ngomong tentang Hachi, nama sebenernya dari Hachi adalah Kenshi Yonezu, ia adalah seorang Musisi Jepang yang memulai karirnya dengan merelease musik vocaloid di bawah nama panggungnya, Hachi pada tahun 2009. Pada tahun 2012, ia mulai membuat sebuah musik dengan namanya sendiri.
