Crystal Piano no Kimi - ToshI feat. Yoshiki

Here’s the song Toshi wrote for Yoshiki.  Toshi presented it to Yoshiki in his LA studio in May 2010.  As Yoshiki listened, he touched his hair like he always does, and said, “…this hits hard.”

You and your Crystal Piano [クリスタルピアノのキミ] 
Written: By ToshI

I used to quietly stand close to you when I sang, 
watching your shoulders swayed as you played the piano.
As I know today is the last day I’ll stand beside you like this,
I can’t help but sob fiercely.

More than anyone else on Earth, 
I have listened to the melody of love you played.
As I know this moment is the last moment I’ll hear you, 
my heart is torn into pieces.

And yet, God exists. God really, really exists.
We have met again and started anew, the spotlight of my life.
We stood on the same stage we used to stand, 
you played the same crystal piano you used to play
The way you used to smile back then,
the songs we used to sing back then…

…everything has stayed the same.
No matter what happens next, I’m not going to leave you anymore.
Because no matter what comes next, I will not be afraid.

“I want to end it all today.”
I remember when you heard my words of farewell, you lowered your head.
It has been over 10 years since that day…
I lived in regrets all alone until now.

And yet, God exists.  Right in front of me.
My heart pounds with excitement now. It’s a new start.

We are saying the same phrases like we used to say.
And I sing the same beautiful melody.
Your hair wavers like it did in the past.  
The same pair of sun glasses reflects the world around us.

Everything has stayed the same.
Everything is about to begin.
Everything will now go according to your will.

Everything has stayed the same.
Everything is about to shine.
It will stay like this, and no one will be able to stop us anymore….
