Adverbs come before verbs if they are describing said verb. "painfully" is describing "know" not "your feelings." therefore, it should be "painfully know" not "know painfully" It would make sense if it was written "I know, painfully, your feelings..." but it's not.

I said it was wrong in English. I don't know if it even says "that" in Japanese or if it's there because Masa felt it made the statement make sense.

The "that" in the line makes sense because the promise is "we would share everything" according to the Japanese lyrics.

I believe masa is very open to corrections because he recognizes that he is not a native English speaker, but honestly the whole "your English makes no sense whatsoever" was completely uncalled for as masa has been translating Ayu lyrics for years already.

I know, I've read them, the almost never make sense. I appreciate his efforts, but I wish more people would correct his English and not just tell him "GOOD JOB!!!1!!!!1!1" I'm not trying to be mean to him, I'm an abrasive person. I mean it to say, he can learn and improve. If people help him by making corrections on English then he gets better at English and it benefits him .

"Because our promise that we would share everything is not a lie at all"
hmm maybe I rushed... But it still shouldn't be "that", at least in English. I don't know how Japanese works, maybe it IS "that" in Japanese, but in English the phrase doesn't work. It's missing a verb. In English there should be an "is" before "that," but perhaps it doesn't work in Japanese...

"Because our promise is that we would share everything is not a lie at all"
Is that different then what the Japanese says by a lot or is it a valid minor change?
