Love Says So Meaning & Lyrics (Nichimezo | Rei)
Tomoya Tabuchi writes about the struggles of expressing love, using lines like ‘I love you, I love you, I love you—how many times have I written this in my notebook?’ The vocalist, Rei, delivers these words with a mix of shyness and determination, creating a sound that mirrors the song’s themes of longing and hope.
Ichi peeji me keshiki no katasumi chiratsuku ondoOn page one, a flickering warmth starts in the corner of my view.
Happii endo da ne yosoku shite mo ii kanaIt’s going to be a happy ending, right? Is it okay if I predict that now?
Soredemo daiji na no wa katei de atte dakara tanoshii n janaiStill, the process is what really matters, and that’s what makes it fun.
Hitotsu hitotsu kasanete yuke setsunai yue no serenadeStacking moments one by one, a serenade born from this sweet pain.
Karimono mitai na terekakushi todoketakute umaku ikanakuteMy shyness feels borrowed and fake; I want to reach you, but I can’t quite make it work.
Ne ruupu ruupu nande yoHey, it’s looping, looping—why does this keep happening?
Ki ni naru kizuki o kakidashinagaraWhile I scribble down every little realization on my mind,
Hajimaru sakura no kisetsuthe season of cherry blossoms begins.
Itsuka kono koi no unmei wa iu toori ni naru ato dore kuraiSomeday, this love’s fate will unfold exactly as predicted—how much longer until then?
Sowasowa dokidoki shite mo keikaku doori nante ikanai no andaasutandoEven with all this fidgeting and heart-pounding, things never go according to plan—do you understand?
Egao yuuki misu choisu yada modokashiiA smile, some courage, a wrong choice—oh no, it’s so frustrating!
Ikisatsu to tenmatsu o kakitomete susume kore mo orikomizumi desuWrite down the hows and whys, then move forward; this chaos was already factored in.
Tameratte yagate ame jaa zentei kara mou ichido ripureiI hesitate, and then comes the rain; alright, let’s replay it all from the start.
Idomi nochi harebare maru tsukete tsugi no peeji eChallenge it, clear the air, mark it ‘correct’, and turn to the next page.
Shiori hasande mita kedo sugu ki ni nacchau karaI tried placing a bookmark to stop, but I get curious right away,
Te ga tomarazu mata yoru ga ake sou da yoso my hand won’t stop writing, and it looks like the sun is about to rise again.
Soredemo daiji na no wa sono ichinichi o dou yatte ikiru ka daStill, what matters most is how we choose to live each day.
Shikou hirameki junbi akushon kousatsu shiteru n desuThought, inspiration, preparation, action—I’m analyzing every move.
Suki da yo suki da yo suki da yo kore nankai nooto ni kaita kke‘I love you, I love you, I love you’—how many times have I written this in my notebook?
Nanzenkai kaita tte sa kotoba wa umaku nannai naEven after writing it thousands of times, the words just don’t come out right.
Suki da yo suki da yo suki da yo kuchi ni daseru madeUntil the moment I can actually say ‘I love you, I love you, I love you’ out loud,
Anata e no omoi wa fukurande ikumy feelings for you will just keep swelling up.
Kono koi wa mou sakurairo de mankai desuThis love is already cherry-blossom pink and in full bloom.
Mabushi sugichau naIt’s almost too dazzling to look at.
Ne take a chance datte kono kisetsu ga sugitemoHey, take a chance—because even when this season passes,
Anata no soba de waraeteru hazu nan da yoI’m sure I’ll still be smiling right there by your side.
Haru sakura yo utau you ni kanadero koi no takou teiriOh spring, oh cherry blossoms! Play the multinomial theorem of love like a song,
Tokikata wa sumaato janakute moeven if the way we solve it isn’t exactly smart.
Itsuka kono koi no unmei wa iu toori ni naru ato dore kuraiSomeday, this love’s fate will unfold exactly as predicted—how much longer until then?
Sowasowa dokidoki shite mo keikaku doori nante ikanai no andaasutandoEven with all this fidgeting and heart-pounding, things never go according to plan—do you understand?
Egao yuuki misu choisu yada modokashiiA smile, some courage, a wrong choice—oh no, it’s so frustrating!
Ikisatsu to tenmatsu o kakitomete susume kore o koi to yobu no desuWrite down the hows and whys, then move forward; this is what we call ‘love’.
Itsu datte iroasenai meishiin bakari fuete ikuThe number of unforgettable scenes that never fade just keeps increasing,
Dakara ne hatan toka iwasenaiso I won’t let anyone call this a failure.
Soshite mata tsugi no peeji eAnd so, we turn to the next page again.
Haru sakura yo utau you ni kanadero koi no takou teiriOh spring, oh cherry blossoms! Play the multinomial theorem of love like a song,
Koi no iu tooriJust as love says so.
