スーパーの帰り道に
近所の人に「こんにちは」って言ったら
向こうもにっこり笑ってくれた
私も思わず嬉しくなって
帰り道がちょっとだけ明るかったよ
その笑い方 どこかで見たなって思ったら
ああ、たぶん あなたの顔だった
あなたがくれた あの眼差しを
誰かに渡せるように
「痛いの 痛いの 飛んでいけ」
あなたが私にくれた魔法
悲しみにも微笑みを
孤独にも愛を添えて
今 私が誰かを包むとき
それはきっと あなたの続き
お金の計算がへたくそで
レシート くしゃっとポケットの中
でも財布の中に
折り紙がひとつ残ってる
「お守りよ」って言ってたね
春先の空はぼんやりしてて
あなたがいないことに
まだ慣れきれないけど
今日も電車に揺られて
私は私を歩いてる
強くなりたいわけじゃなくて
優しくありたいだけ
「大丈夫」って言えた日は
少しあなたに会えた気がする
「痛いの 痛いの 飛んでいけ」
あなたが私にくれた魔法
涙の中 光るもの
ぬくもりは消えないまま
今 私が誰かを抱きしめるとき
それはきっと あなたの続き
だからどうか聴いてて
私 あなたに
ちゃんと似てきたでしょう？

Itai no Itai no Tondeike
Kentarou Kawai
"Itaino Itaino Tondeike" (Go Away, Pain)
A magical phrase from childhood, one that gently wrapped pain and sadness in warmth and comfort.
This song reflects on the kindness received from someone deeply cherished who is no longer here, and on how that love continues to live within us long after they are gone.
Musically, it is built on the smooth, soulful groove of Neo Soul while embracing the humanity and warmth of the Blues, creating a sound that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly new. Rather than relying on dramatic power, the arrangement quietly stays by the listener's side, painting memories and affection with subtle grace.
In every act of kindness we offer to others, a familiar presence can suddenly reappear.
The love we inherit continues to embrace someone else, even today.
This is a song about love, remembrance, and the passing of kindness from one generation to the next.
