Impression of `Rainy Roses' from `Graces of Eternity' -- By Yuriko Nakamura -- Jan. 7, 2002, (Originally in Japanese, June 19, 1990)

There are some passers-by in front and a man standing off,

Looking aimlessly at them.

Weird enough to see is it,

Yet I could tell you the collage in that snap ...

As if it were a timeless space ...

But still I can hear ticking of the second-hand in my watch.
Impression of `Chaconne' from `Graces of Eternity' -- By Yuriko Nakamura -- Jan. 7, 2002, (Originally in Japanese, June 19, 1990)

Knowing the unstable floor in our four-dimensional space,

I struggle to find the right steps for a box with her.

By and by, we come to know there used to be a rich history of life

Filled with agonies, pleasures, failures, but also, successes.
Impression of `Far Away Place' from `Graces of Eternity' -- By Yuriko Nakamura -- Jan. 7, 2002, (Originally in Japanese, June 19, 1990)

Make your own life meaningful,

By facing and breaking through the walls in front.

Just go ahead,

With Hopes,

You Guys!
Impression of `Send My Heart' from `Graces of Eternity' -- By Yuriko Nakamura -- Jan. 7, 2002, (Originally in Japanese, June 19, 1990)

In the morning on a clear day,

We would have a pleasant ride together on bycicles

In between the tree-lined paths, enjoying every fresh moment.
Impression of `Chavaux de bois' from `Graces of Eternity' -- By Yuriko Nakamura -- Jan. 7, 2002, (Originally in Japanese, June 19, 1990)

When you come to an age,

You'll know more about the sweet, sour,

And bitter taste of love ...

Oh, the big tide comes to me, again ...

Alright, I've already exhausted my mouth saying ...

How much I feel, Ha! ...

The unforgettable and... the hardest ever... that moment...
Impression of `La Farandole' from `Graces of Eternity' -- By Yuriko Nakamura -- Jan. 7, 2002, (Originally in Japanese, June 19, 1990)

Sometimes, everybody just wants to allow themselves

Being so sentimental.

But, things in life do not always happen in that wrong way ...

So, don't try to be so hard on you!
Impression of `Comme un enfant joue' from `Graces of Eternity' -- By Yuriko Nakamura -- Jan. 7, 2002, (Originally in Japanese, June 19, 1990)

Watching a host of the birds in the fairly bluesky,

Flying over without seemingly any obstacles ahead in our rich history,

That filled with repetitive misery and happiness indeed though,

Maybe, I just want to follow them, wherever they go.
Impression of `Killing me Softly' -- By Singers' UnLimited -- July 17, 2001

Remembering those days spent together,

Remembering your cheerful face smiling all the time.

The voice still is repeatedly and, again, repeatedly heard in my ears,

With keeping the ever-young and ultimately beautiful reflections...

Over and over, and I feel eternity.
A Litter Bin In The Heart -- June 21, 2000

That is what you cannot directly see with your eyes.

No idea of what colour it has, the shape, nor, the size of it ...

But, it is always there in the heart and is, certainly, an indispensable item
to make your life more meaningful ...

Strange enough, but this is, what we call,

`A litter bin in the heart'

which collects all the garbage floating in your heart,

burns them, and eventually turns them into a light

which will wrap any trace of sadness and all the mess
tiled up in the daily life and throw them away from the heart...

`A litter bin in the heart'

That is what we all have somewhere within ourselves ...
Impression of `Tamatia' -- By Polis Anthousis -- Apr. 1, 2000

I just want to be a little candle's flame to warm up yourself, when you feel cold ...

I just want to be a wall (even if it's not thick enough, it's better than nothing ...)
on which you can rely when you feel exhausted ...

I just want to be by your side when you feel alone and need somebody to talk ...

I just want ...
How long ... -- Sept. 6, 1999

How long has it been since I was born ...

How long has it been since I came to an age ...

How long has it been since I met you first ...

How long has it been since the happiest days were gone ...

How long has it been since I missed you ...

I'll be thirty this September ...
Impression of `Elsa' -- Bill Evans(p) -- Mar. 25, 1999

Never-ending blue sky, with some cumuloninbus bubbling over it,

In the hot summer, I remember it captured in a very brief moment,

Even without taking a breath,

Yet picturesque ...
Impression of `My Foolish Heart' -- Bill Evans(p) -- Mar 19, 1999

In a tiny, but, cosy tea room,

Sitting myself down on a dark coloured
wooden chair by the window,

Watching outside nothing but raining gently,

In a melancholic mood,

With a mug of hot tea between his arms
on a thick wooden table,

With a deep sigh on it ...

On a day, when the autumn is nearly over ...
