[A Tanka from a Song] Tanka from Summer Songs Part 2: Female Vocal Edition

It's Miyu.

Oh, I love this project 💝
Following the last one, this is the second installment. This time, we'll be doing the Female Vocal Edition⭐

👇　Male Vocal Edition　👇

This time, the female vocal edition is brilliantly filled with nothing but heartbreak songs 💦
Why on earth is that, lol
It makes for a slightly melancholy mood, but please bear with me.

🌈　July 7th, Sunny　　　DREAMS COME TRUE

Wishing to see you, I look up at the Milky Way
Are you gazing at the sky, too?

First, this song by Dreams Come True.
Alisa Mizuki is so cute, isn't she? 💛
At the time, the 3M was a hot topic. Younger people might not know about it 💦
Alisa Mizuki, Riho Makise, and Rie Miyazawa—the 3M came from the first letters of their names. All three of them were incredibly beautiful girls. They were all so cute and popular.

Tanabata is the day when Orihime and Hikoboshi can meet once a year.
Even though you want to see someone at least once a year, there are people you can no longer see. You look up at the Milky Way wishing to see such a person.
In this song, a phone rings once in the middle of the night. That must be from him.
Are you looking at the Milky Way with the same feelings?
I hope you can meet someday.

🌈　Canna Line 8　　　Yumi Matsutoya

The road I drive tracing memories of you
Canna flowers bloom in flames, just as they did back then

Next is a Yumi Matsutoya song.
Even though this song has a bright melody, the lyrics are heartbreaking, aren't they?
She visits the road she drove with him again. The canna flowers are blooming in bright red just like they were back then, but the song is about how he is no longer by her side.

I like driving cars.
And yes, I definitely used to do things like this. Driving the same roads. Thinking, 'I went down this road and turned at the next corner,' and so on.
It sounds stupid, doesn't it? I think so too. At times like that, I'd play a cassette I'd edited myself, filled with nothing but tear-jerker songs lol
Maybe because of that, I became strangely familiar with the roads, or developed a mysterious intuition where I'd think, 'Hey, doesn't this road connect this place to that place?'

🌈　Planetarium　Ai Otsuka

I want to see you, may my wish reach the summer constellations
May your memory remain forever as it is

I have an image of Ai Otsuka as someone who sings bright songs like 'Sakuranbo'.
I listened to this song a lot for a while. When I was in the car, I would repeat it over and over and end up crying. I think I was a bit depressed back then. I didn't realize it at the time, but looking back now, I was.

I can't see you anymore, but I want to see you. If it were allowed, I would go to see you right now.
If I can't see you, I will live on with the memories of the past.
That's the kind of song it is.

Is there someone you feel that way about?
There was someone like that.
I wanted to see them so badly, but that was something that could no longer come true.
But, someday, someday... I kept thinking.
However, now that a long, long time has passed.
I'm okay even if I can't see you anymore.
I was able to be grateful and let go.
Thank you. I loved you so much.
I've come to be able to think, 'Take care of yourself.'
Yeah. I hope you are healthy and happy.

There is one more serving of rice left🍚
I look forward to it⭐

Thank you for reading until the end today as well♪
