Hako Yamasaki - Help Me (Tsunawatari)

Hako Yamasaki - Help Me

From Tsunawatari.

I do not own any rights.

[Zuiyo]

Japanese music from the 70s and 80s is unmatched in freshness and originality.

[PawtyStore]

Lyrics:
"Get to know a lot of things,
and also many kinds of people.
This way your troubles and doubts will vanish",
said someone's voice.
If these days without doubt will come, and continue just the same,
I would rather not know anything at all.

"Closing your heart, that seems nice. You can do whatever you want. Honestly, just be a child.",
said someone's voice.
A part of me always remains in this desire,
but my heart is neither opened nor closed.

"What's it with these same days, I cannot stand them anymore. Please save me."
When those times come, I love the 'me' that just tries to rise up and start walking.
Because I want that, I shout into my heart, towards myself:
Help me, help me, help me, help me
(help me, ...)

I’m just a 27 year old guy from a town called Huddersfield in the UK, stumbling on a song written by a 19 year old Japanese girl over 40 years ago. I absolutely loved this song and that’s the beauty and power of music.

[Tosbaa]

“Smile and the world smiles with you, cry and you cry alone.”

[yosuto]

What a song. Keep in mind girl was only 19 when she did that song

[ayman]

"Learn about many kinds of things
And many kinds of people.
If you do that, your worries and doubts will both go.
...said someone's voice.
If a day without doubt comes,
If my days all became like that,
I won't want to know anything at all.

I've closed my heart—that's OK too, right?
You can do as you please.
If you put it less nicely, I'm still a child.
...said someone's voice.
I want some part of me to be a child, always.
But my
Heart is neither opened nor closed.

Every day it's something. It's time to quit.
Someone help me.
At times like that, I'm someone who
gets up out of bed and tries to walk forward.
I like that. So I scream
In my heart
To myself, I scream "Help Me'"

[mr.mcnuggies]

1:26 - 1:46 That guitar gives me so many goosebumps every time I listen to this song. I don't know how you make a guitar sound like it's crying, but this is it.

[bigharp]

Out of all the languages she could have chosen to speak, she’s speaking facts.

[FatehBazerbachi]

ironnakoto wo shirinasai
ironna hito mo
sousureba nayami, mayoi mo nakunaru
dareka no koega
mayoi no nai hi ga kuru nara
sonna hibi ni natteshimau nara
nanimokamo shiritakunai

kokoro wo tojiteru, sore mo ii ne
suki katteni dekiru
waruku ieba mada kodomo sa

dareka no koe ga
dokoka kodomo de itai na itsumo
dakedo watashi
kokoro wo tojitemo hiraitemo nai yo

nani ga mainichi da, mou yameda
watashi wo tasukete
sonna tokini okiagatte
arukou to suru jibun ga iru
sorega suki, dakara sakebou
kokoro no naka de

nani ga mainichi da, mou yameda

kokoro no nakade jibun ni sakebou
help me, help me, help me...
tasukete, tasukete, tasukete...
help me, help me, help me...

Know many things and many people
In doing that,
Your troubles and doubt will go away
And if the day comes
When someone's voice is not hesitant
I do not want to know everything

Your heart is closed
And that's fine
You can do whatever you'd like
To say it poorly, it's childish
Someone's voice
Somewhere, I want to be a child
Always
But me,
My heart isn't closed, nor is it open

What is every day?
I've already stopped
Help me, please
In such a time, get me up
I'll try to walk on my own
I like that, so I'll shout out
In my heart, I'll shout on my own
Help me!
What is every day?
I've already stopped
Help me, please
In such a time, get me up
I'll try to walk on my own
I like that, so I'll shout out
In my heart, I'll shout on my own
Help me!
Help me...

Trust me, you didn't search this and you aint gonna leave, be here till the end of time…

[kiianaluu]

I found it hard to believe that she had never really gotten popular, more people should get to know her great talent, she deserves way more recognition.

[s-]

It's a tradition to listen to this masterpiece everytime you feel you need help

[Lemon_salmon]

I am 19 years old Japanese with ocd and depr. I live in fear and anxiety every day. I have no hobbies or friends. I don't know why I live everyday That's when I came across this song. I think this song is beautiful. I want to bring back the bright days like when I was little.

[stefaniearanda]

Therapy = costs a lot

Listening to sad music = free, easy to get, nice to let out the tears

[xBROOK]

[ohara.]

[angelitaenyoutube]

Sends shivers down my spine. Her voice it's so good and still sounds super emotional.

[ehnanizafacku]

“But my heart neither opened nor closed “ I have never see myself described in song’s lyrics like this one before

[비정한세상]

いろんな事を知りなさい
Iron'na koto o shiri nasai
いろんな人も
Iron'na hito mo
そうすれば悩み　迷いもなくなる
Sō sureba nayami mayoi mo nakunaru
誰かの声が
Dareka no koe ga
迷いのない日がくるなら
Mayoi no nai hi ga kurunara
そんな日々になってしま うなら
Son'na hibi ni natte shima unara
何もかも知りたくない
Nanimokamo shiritakunai

心を閉じてる　それもいいね
Kokoro o toji teru sore mo ī ne
好き勝手にできる
Suki katte ni dekiru
悪くいえば　まだ子供さ
Waruku ieba mada kodomo sa
誰かの声が
Dareka no koe ga
どこか子供でいたいな　いつも
Doko ka kodomo de itai na itsumo
だけど　私
Dakedo watashi
心を閉じても開いてもいないよ
Kokoro o tojite mo aite mo inai yo
＊
何が毎日だ　もうやめだ
Nani ga mainichida mō yameda
私を助けて
Watashi o tasukete
そんな時に　起き上がって
Son'na toki ni okiagatte
歩こうとする自分がいる
Arukou to suru jibun ga iru
それが好き　だから叫ぼう
Sore ga sukidakara sakebou
心の中で
Kokoro no naka de
自分に叫ぼう　ヘルプ・ミー
Jibun ni sakebou herupu mī
（*Repeat)
