Here’s the PV of Let It Out.

I have been listening to Let It Out ever since I got back to watching Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood sometime around 2-3 weeks ago. I must say, at first, Let It Out was not really appealing to me cause I always prefer rock songs or fast tempo songs. However, after watching the PV over and over again, I grew to like the song and in no time, I was replaying the PV over and over again.

Yasashii Aka(Another Ver.) is another song I’ve been listening to for about a week now. I’ve been listening to the original version of the song and I must say, it’s a very nice tune to listen to. What really caught my attention though, is the lyrics for Yasashii Aka.

Here’s an excerpt of the lyrics:

okisari ni natta sabita posuto wa toki o nakushite
todokanai ka mo to, tegami wa irerarenakatta yo

ikanakya ikanakya hanaretakunai yo
furiharau kokoro kimi ga mienaku naru

naiteru kao mo waratta hibi mo
watashi wa zenbu taisetsu da yo
dakedo wasurete zenbu suteru
yasashii basho mo kimi no koe mo

suiheisen ni nobiru yuuhi
subete o akaku someru yasashii iro
daijoubu, aruite yukeru …
nakazu ni aruite yukeru yo

kawaranai sora kawari yuku kumo
watashi wa koko de ugoki-dasu yo
moshi kono uta ga todoita nara
naki-gao ja naku egao o omotte

Translated it says:

The rusted mailbox that was left behind has lost time
I couldn’t put a letter in, I thought, “It will never reach you..”

I have to go, I have to go, I don’t want to leave you
You can’t see how my heart is trying to shake you off

Your crying face, those joyous days
Are all precious to me
But I’ll forget them and cast all of them
That gentle place, and your voice aside

The setting sun that stretches to the horizon
Colors everything red, a gentle color
It’s alright, I can walk on my own…
I can walk on my own without crying

The unchanging sky, the changing clouds
I’ll start moving here
If this song ever reaches you
Don’t cry, smile when you think of me.

I’m pretty sure the (Another Ver) of Yasashii Aka should not be too different from the original version. 2 great tracks in 1 single, it does not get any better than this.

There are 3 editions available for this single: Limited Pressing, Regular Edition, Limited Edition priced at 1,020 yen, 1,223 yen and 1,575 yen respectively. The Limited Edition comes with a bonus DVD of the PV, so do pick up your copy over at CDJapan today!
