Hello, sorry it's been a long time. I've been trying to write down this letter for several weeks with all the things I want to say, but it's been difficult.
I realized the more I think about it, the harder it gets to put all these words I have in my mind on paper.
This is why I'm no longer worrying about it, I will just write whatever is on my mind at the time.
This is a recollection of memories from the trip I did last year. I tried to organize my feelings with the impressions I have about some of the moments I lived, which I still remember so vividly.
I will be telling these memories by seasons, because I remember feeling very differently in each one of them, and I think that way I can organize my ideas better.
I hope I'm able to communicate these experiences to you, and more importantly, I hope this message is able to reach your heart.
It's really hard to carry your feelings in a letter. But I will try to put them there for you…
Japanese:
ずいぶんご無沙汰になってしまいすみません。勇気を出して言葉にして伝えたかったことを 全部書き溜めていたら、いつの間にか数週間も経っていたみたいで。
何だか考えれば考えるほど、頭の中で巡っている言葉をこうやってすべて書き出していくの は大変な作業なんだなと実感しています。
もう悩んでいても何も始まらないので、その瞬間に感じたことをとことん書きだしていけたらな と思っています。
これは、去年訪れた 旅先の思い出たちの記憶です。当時の記憶を辿りながら、今でも鮮明 に蘇る、旅先で感じた印象をもとに綴っています。
季節によって感じたその異なった感情を、四季折々の思い出として伝えられたらいいなと 思っています。
こういった経験を分かち合う事で、記憶のメッセージとして、あなたの心に届くことを何より 願っています。
ありのままの気持ちをすべて手紙に託すというのは、本当に容易なことではないけれど、伝 わると信じて託してみます。

English:
Spring welcomes the year with its chilly and windy nights,
pouring the plants and trees with its rain, nurturing the flowers and nature, piecing everything together like an oil painting that takes a long time to dry.
As Summer approaches, the colors begin to set, and we can see how this painting blossoms with all its details, making a canvas for our most treasured memories, the moments that we wish lasted a bit longer...
Japanese:
春は、肌寒く感じる風の強い夜を重ね、
その雨を草木に注ぎ、
花や自然を育みながら、一年を迎え入れる。
まるでゆっくりと時間をかけながら乾いてゆく油絵のように、すべてを包み込んでいく。（織り 重ねていく、ひとつにしていく）
やがて夏の訪れと共に、その絵は色を重ね、 美しく繊細な花を咲かせながら、かけがえのない思い出のキャンバスとなってゆく。
もうちょっと長く続いてくれたらいいのに...と願ってしまう瞬間。

The sunlight sets
It warms my heart
The wind blows wide
It shines so bright.
The sunlight sets
Tears run through the sea
Waves shaking as
feelings inside my heart. (x2)

English:
Summer holds our memories, all our joy. The moments we share with others, and the beautiful bonds we've created.
Like a little warmth that envelopes your heart once a year, It feels so brief, so momentary... swiftly moving on and leaving its place as the wind rushes through the trees, taking all the leaves with it while touching the scenery with its subtle and orange shimmer...
Japanese:
夏には、私たちの思い出や喜びすべてが詰まっている。
一緒に分かち合う瞬間や育まれた絆までもが。
一年に一度、心を包む小さな温もりのように、それは短くて、ほんの一瞬のよう。
風が木々を駆け抜け、木の葉をさらさらと揺らしながら吹き抜けていく、 ほのかにオレンジ色に染まった景色にそっと触れるように...。

English:
…And just like that, the year is almost over.
Whenever I reflect on these last few months, I realize how much I wanted to enjoy all the special moments, but I got lost in my thoughts instead of trying to live them.
It’s almost like the year lived through me, sending sounds through my soul that for some reason I wasn’t able to hear.
And I finally understand why… Memories are just echoes…
All this time I’ve been trying to hold on to these echoes, but never appreciated the melodies they were trying to sing…
Melodies I never sang, melodies I never treasured…
Japanese:
...あっという間に時は過ぎ、気がつけば、今年も残りあとわずか。
この数カ月間を振り返るたび、かけがえのない出逢いとの瞬間を本当は大事にしたかったのに、どうしても 考えばかりが先走ってしまって、生きているということを実感できてなかった自分がいる。
まるでそれは、1年が私の間をすり抜け、魂にはその音は届けられているのに、なぜか心にまで響いてこな かったような。
でも、やっと分かった。思い出というのは、ただの反響音にすぎないんだって。
これまでずっと、私はこのこだまにしがみつこうとして、思い出たちが歌ってくれていたメロディーに耳を傾け て来なかったんだって...
私が歌おうともしなかったメロディー、大事にしてこなかったメロディー...

Yui-Chan (Rina Hoshino):
...And as this year ends
I can only ask myself...
Melodies I never sang...
melodies I never treasured...
All this time
I’ve been trying to hold on to these echoes,
but I never appreciated the melodies
they were trying to sing…
2)
What melodies will echo through my life this new year?
…And
which of these melodies will I allow my heart to sing?
Melodies I never sang...
melodies I never treasured...

Gaby:
These echoes come
From my own heart
It's time to sing these
Melodies... (x4)

Yui-Chan (Rina Hoshino):
I can also only ask you, the person reading this letter,
to please sing each melody that comes through your life.
Before the music fades away…
Japanese:

Yui-Chan (Rina Hoshino):
...今年はもうあと少ししかないのに。だからこそ、自分の胸にこう問いかけてみる
私が歌おうともしなかったメロディー、大事にしてこなかったメロディー...
これまでずっと、私はこのこだまにしがみつこうとして、思い出たちが歌ってくれていたメロディーに耳を傾け
て来なかったんだって...
2)
これからの私の人生には、どんなメロディーが響き渡るんだろう？
...なかでも、心に染みるようなメロディーは一体どんな思い出になってくれるんだろう？
私が歌おうともしなかったメロディー、大事にしてこなかったメロディー...

Gaby:
These echoes come

Yui-Chan (Rina Hoshino):
この手紙を読んでいるキミへ。心に流れ込んでくるメロディーが聴こえてきたらまずは口ずさんでみて。
音楽がふとした隙に消え去ってしまう前に…。
