EPIC
This is one of my favorites, because it summons up such vivid images. During the chorus I imagine Miss Ikuko sketching big strokes on a wall with charcoal. The theme is of trying to understand someone by talking to them, which shows up a lot in clammbon lyrics (Chiisana Futari no Kakurenbo comes to mind).
English
EPIC
Really, it’s not right, even if I say you remind me of someone
There’s only one of you, and you are you
Really, it’s not right, even if I say “yeah, you’re right”
With just this I can’t understand you
Through the glass, outside the rain is letting up; around the table,
Talk to me again
I want to draw you, collecting little fragments
I’ll start drawing you, with just that, with just that…
It’s really true, isn’t it, even back to back
Embrace this moment, just the two of us
It’s really true, isn’t it, as we’re face to face
Share this moment, that happens just once
Through the glass, outside the rain is letting up; around the table,
There’s always more to tell
I want to draw you, collecting little fragments
I’ll start drawing you, with just that, with just that…
If I could just notice a shooting star
Even on long nights, there’s nothing to be afraid of
Dazzling calendar, the next day too, calendar
I want to draw you, collecting little fragments
I’ll start drawing you, with just that, with just that…
Japanese
EPIC
ほんとはちがうよね 誰かっぽいねって言ってても
たったひとりきりの 君は君だもの
ほんとはちがうよね うん、そうだねって言ってても
たったこれくらいじゃ 君をわかれない
ガラスごし外は雨あがり テーブルはさんで
はなしをまたきかせて
君を描きたいんだ ちいさい破片あつめて
君を描きだすんだ それたけでそれだけで・・・
ほんとのことなのね 背中あわせでもね
たったふたりきりの 今を抱きしめて
ほんとのことなのね 向かいあわせでね
たった一度きりの 今をわけあうの
ガラスごし外は雨あがり テーブルはさんで
はなしはまだつきない
君を描きたいんだ ちいさい破片あつめて
君を描きだすんだ それたけでそれだけで・・・
流れ星さえ気がつけたらいいのに
長い夜にもこわいものはないわ
めくるめくカレンダー あくる日もカレンダー
君を描きたいんだ ちいさい破片あつめて
君を描きだすんだ それたけでそれだけで・・・
