I'll repost the lyrics~

You're So Beautiful lyrics (credit me if you post these elsewhere)

translation
Occasionally I want to be nice to myself
You showed me a gentle heart
Yes, if you feel afraid hold the hand of the person you trust

*Take it easy. There is one road. You who keeps trying are so beautiful
Standing still or going forward. It’s up to you
Take it easy. Soon the rain will also stop falling
In order for you to look up to the sky and be able to smile
You are so beautiful

Because you live a life where you are tempted to cry intensely
It is alright to cry as much as you want to
Your heart will feel better even if your eyes become swollen
Yes, it can be true because only worrying will get you nowhere

Take it easy. Getting hurt, this too is so beautiful
Because there is no wall that cannot be climbed
Take it easy. Even when you are mad at yourself
For not being able to do anything, you walk on your own road
You are so beautiful

You are linked to our courage by standing up by yourself

*repeat

You are so beautiful· · ·

Thanks tenshi

The lyrics are really nice

milky_way Thanks for making the new thread

(there is still 100th thread written in the first post...)

Eh, I'm not big on You're So Beautiful, at all. >_<' But I'm honestly not disappointed, because I wasn't expecting much from it, anyhow, with that title.

It's not that this is a terribly sucky song, it's just that I'm sick of hearing so freakin' many of these types from Kumi, especially recently. >.<

Oh, and another beautiful thread starter, Milky.

I really liked the "You're so beautiful" performance. The song is nice, but I like the way she performed it more than the actual song.. it sounds like a b-side or a miley cyrus/hannah montana song lol

lollipop sophie · #7 11th January 2010, 10:53 PM

I think the song was beautiful very touching
if you ask me and her voice was very good
in this song I'm excited!!!

Beauty4123 · #8 12th January 2010, 12:29 AM

your so beautiful is...beautiful

kuu was so cute in the performance and GORGEOUS during that short interview. her hair and makeup was

So Ellen has been recently wanting to expand into Asia so I sent her a little message...

Dear Ellen,
Recently you've been talking about expanding your influence into Asia.
I thought it would be an awesome idea to have a performer from Asia come in!
I really would love to see Koda Kumi on your show. She is a mega-super star in Japan, on the verge of releasing a new album, and is soon to be on the cover of countless magazines.

Here's are two of her newest songs.

<You're So Beautiful>
Please skip right to 2:39

<Can We go Back>
http://v.youku.com/v_show/id_XMTQxODk1MzU2.html

I would be so happy to see her perform on your show and I think your plan for World Domination would certainly progress.

A loyal Fan Forever,
Demetri Manias

What do you guys think? Good idea? I think you guys should all send an e-mail so we can get her to perform on Ellen!

i like the ballad. it's pretty. but i wonder if kumi has ever thought about releasing an album without any ballads. she has more ballads than b sides and studio songs put together. XP

LOL Yeah. I haven't seen the performance, but I'm listening to the live rip now. I can't see myself listening to this song more than once. But it sounds nice.

nice idea and everything, and i do love koda kumi, but if i actually had a chance to pick a jpop artist to go on ellen, I'd go with ayu, or utada. but i might as well through in my two cents and be like "and bring koda kumi along with them" lol.

I think if kumi performed but, or juicy ,or taboo she would have ellen soooo turned on X______X.

emi♡ · #13 12th January 2010, 01:16 AM

I actually think Koda Kumi would be more fun to interview just because she's more...laid back I think and like says more fun things lol...she's not more laid back than Hikki though...hikki is like super friendly, but kinda...nerdy artsy lol I think she should get an interview too though.

I feel like them two would be best, because it seems like ellen would be able to wing it more and not have to have set black and white questions.

Ayu's kinda...all business lol Namie is more reserved. BoA would probably be a good choice too cause she's fun!

Besides...if she did Koda, they could talk about Gaga...lol Maybe she could have them both! That would be awesome.

jbrat2219 · #14 12th January 2010, 01:34 AM

^ I wouldn't be surprised if Kumi's afraid to open up due to that little comment she made on the radio =/

oneheart · #15 12th January 2010, 01:57 AM

Ayu got CNN and Kumi well get Ellen XD

And me! I would be surprised after all this anticipation for JUICY live, she performs somewhere where we would never expect.

I really like You're So Beautiful! Imo, it's the best happy ballad since Taisetsuna Kimi E!
