Man, 'Fukai Mori' takes me straight back to my middle school days—those late nights binge-watching 'Inuyasha' with a bag of chips. The lyrics hit differently when you're young and angsty, you know? The full lyrics are in Japanese, but here's the romaji version I scribbled in my notebook years ago (with some messy translations from my weeb phase):
'Fukai mori no naka / Kimi to deaeta sono hi kara / Yume no naka made mo / Hanasanai to yakusoku shita ne...' (Translation-ish: 'Deep in the forest / From the day I met you / Even in my dreams / I promised not to let go...'). The rest gets poetic about shadows, eternity, and holding hands—classic early-2000s anime ballad material.
Funny how I can still hum the melody perfectly, but my Japanese homework? Totally forgotten. The song’s moody vibe fit 'Inuyasha’s' feudal-era drama so well—like, you could *feel* Kagome and Inuyasha’s messy romance in every note. Even now, hearing the opening chords gives me goosebumps.
