Mr. Children gjorde 2006 låten Shirushi som var ledmotivet till det kontroversiella dramat 14 sai no haha (14-årig mamma). Som man förstår av titlen så handlar dramat om en fjortonårig tjej som blir gravid och man får följa henne och de motgångar hon går igenom. Låten Shirushi är väldigt fin och landade som etta på Oriconlistan.

Lyssna gärna och njut!

Engelsk översättning

we each are listening to our hearts beating in different tempos.
as if things were meant to be this way from the start

No matter what words I choose, it sounds insincere
I crumple up the letter I wrote in the left side of my brain
and throw it away

I wonder if my voice in my heart is sent to you
AS a silent song...

Darling, darling, I've seen you from many different angles.
Because all of them are exquisite,I realize that I love you.
Now you're trying to show me by the way of subtle nuance that your uncertainty is a precautionary border
to keep you from getting hurt.

someone makes fun of our picture, "you two make such a pair"
Do we look alike? Or is it that we've started to?

we faced one another with such seriousness
that it was almost a burden to get on with it
so much so that it makes me jealous of the thoughtless guy I used to be. * 2

no one will hear the voice of my heart
I'm ok with that, it's better that way.

Darling, Darling,
I know you have many faces.
no matter what I do,
when I remember you, it pains me so.
more than all those memorable days on my calendar
my memory is filled completely by vivid memories
of every second of every day with you. *3
we cry, we laugh
it's a precarious sort of feeling but
it is proof of you and me.

Darling, darling
I've seen you from so many different angles
even if the day we can no longer be together comes our way
I don't think it matters because I can't help loving you.

Darling, Darling
Oh my darling
Maddeningly, and vividly
you fill in my memories completely
Darling, Darling.
