Nogizaka46 "Sayonara no imi" with translation.

How are you going guys!!.

Today... would like to introduce this song for the suffering people who can not handle to corp with their society, and unintentionally hurting others and live their daily lives well.

The reason of why I am introducing this song is because I am making some advices to the friend who also have same troubles in his personality for a few weeks in a phone.

He is now in danger of divorce and he is trying to change himself to avoid that crisis.

If he has noticed to his past wrong behaviors at least a year ago,  there was a big possibility in their relationship improvement.

But he was too late to notice.

He covered his past wrong behaviours and even he contained and constrained her wishes of making their relationship much better by strong angers.

At this catastrophic stage after she gave up her hope to his change in behaviours... it is too late to recognized to know how much he loves his wife and how much he hurt her in the past behaviours with full of tears and regrets.

He is making a call to hear my advices of his self improvement everyday.

This same situation can be seen in other people too.

All the causes are weaved into one simple reason.

A cover up of self embarrassments in the past behaviours.

Sometimes people choose to make wrong decisions since they are human beings.

It is because all people are human beings.

As an intellectual living being, what is the most important thing is after you have made a wrong action, be not covering it up, but apologize your past wrong behaviours to others with honest attitude.

If you have made a honest apology to others, no one especially Japanese people will not blaming it more.

Even also they give you an useful advice for your self improvement.

Be natural and honest with others everyday.

This is the most important mindset for Japanese people.

The above title "Sayonara no Imi" means "Sayonara" for goodbye and "Imi" means meaning.

A girl with thorns "Manami Hashimoto" born in Hokkaido on 1993 February 20th is acting a person like an unexpectedly, unintentionally hurting others in the movie.

She is wanting to touch others but like a dilemma of hedgehog, she is afraid of touching others and destined to be killed for the crime of being a thorn girl by the own village law.

Anyway... this story is just a fiction not existing in Japan though.

But... sometimes we just deal with someone who has these hearty thorns in our actual daily life by ignoring or avoiding them like being not existing there.

Probably... these thorns are caused by habits or cultural differences, hard childhood experiences, mindset or religious differences, differences in skin colours, or other traumatic experiences in the past.

So... from the logical mindset... we all already know that their thorns are not their fault but a part of their personalities.

Therefore... we have to understand that they never ever want to hurt others.

The fundamental issue is that they just do not know how to handle themselves with others.

Therefore... rather than punishing them but we should embrace them with our warm hearts.

Until their thorns will melting away from their hearts.

Until their freezing heart becomes warmer.

Be kind and generous to someone who hurts you also.

sometimes it will take a long time but all Japanese people can do it reliably as a final solution.

That is why I am highly proud of being given a life as a Japanese.

Therefore... so you as well also.

Hoping everyone get my point well.
