The ending refrain is the conclusion of the decision, and she doesn't want to walk away from something that fulfills them both just to be traditional and as she's always been instructed to be. In an effort to quell her fears, he offers that, as time continues on, the longer they stay together exactly as they are, she won't need reaffirmation and will come to believe that he does love her as he says, even if their union is not legally bound for all the world to see.Įventually she comes to ponder. But if they don't, what will happen to the relationship? However, he agrees that the way things are is fine, and why upset the status quo? He wishes he could "prove that he loves her", but is seems an impossible feat short of doing something of which they're both unsure. Shouldn't they settle down? Isn't that what people do? But they're happy the way they are. But the "daily things that keep us all busy" are "confusing" her. They've been together for awhile, happy, or relatively so. She agrees that no, the simplicity of the relationship is what she's been looking for and she'll try to take it at face value that they are committed to one another. He loves her, he says, but does that mean they have to marry? (Meeting the parents being a typical first step in the process of wedding.) It's at first a fairly new couple, both wanting to commit to each other, but retain their independence as people. (I think it was featured in the game more for marketing reasons than it truly being indicative of the characters and story.) But for me, the English version seems to be a commentary on the traditions of commitment. Anyhow, curious to hear the Japanese version as apparently the meaning is quite different. Utada's in her what, twenties, I think? Not sure. It occurred to me, rather suddenly, that it fits EXACTLY what I'm going through. (I've loved it since it was first featured in the PS2 game "Kingdom Hearts" - the monstrous joint success from Square Enix and Disney. Just listening to it at work, looking for a break from the grind. But in asking her these questions, he's not really proving his love for her at all, just worrying, so she says "it's enough when I say so."Īgain, she's not worried about what's in store for them later (whereas he probably is.) She's just happy in the moment and wants to be held.Īgain, she's not worried about what's in store for them later (whereas he probably is.) She's just happy in the moment and wants to be held. He thinks she's being demanding and that she wants him to walk on water, but that's not it. But because she doesn't want presents and she's not worrying about him meeting her dad, he doesn't know how to prove his love for her. In his mind, you meet someone, you pursue a relationship, you meet their parents and then marriage, but as she says life isn't that simple. "Don't get me wrong, I love you, but does that mean I have to meet your father?" She's just enjoying being with him, but he's already worrying about things like meeting her dad instead of enjoying her company too. "You're giving me too many things" - he's showering her with presents, but all she wants is to be with him. Maybe the guy THINKS she's too demanding, but in reality I think he's the one who is making things overly complicated. In response to the above, I don't think she was too demanding at all.

Final Fantasy meets Disney? Like, quite literally the essence of my being. What boyfriends?)īut there was a time long ago that I did, and Kingdom Hearts was my everything. Like Lana Del Rey, I just passive-aggressively encourage my boyfriends to go play their video games while I twirl ’round slowly and contemplate life’s great truths on those lonesome Friday nights. Now, I don’t actually play video games these days. Kingdom Hearts - the Playstation franchise responsible for propelling Utada Hikaru into mainstream America’s consciousness with her masterpiece of a theme song “Simple & Clean” (Japanese: “光”), as well as her Kingdom Hearts II theme song “Sanctuary” (Japanese: “Passion”) - is getting a third installment.
