Ueto's breakthrough came when she was cast as a high school student suffering from gender identity disorder (GID), in the sixth season of the long-running TBS drama 3-nen B-gumi Kinpachi-sensei. Her critically acclaimed performance led to several leading roles and endorsements, eventually establishing her as one of Japan's most recognizable faces. As one of Japan's most ubiquitous celebrities, Ueto constantly appears on billboards, shop windows and train adverts, and has held the annual title of CM Queen five times since 2004.
She has also ventured onto the big screen, in the lead role in Ryuhei Kitamura's blockbuster Azumi (2003), which earned her a nomination for a Japan Academy Award for Best Actress, its sequel, Azumi 2: Death or Love (2005), and Thermae Romae (2012).
感傷
上戸彩 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
疲れ果てた夜の片隅
忘れたはずの涙が 滲んだ
どうしてこんなに悲しくなるんだろう?
子供みたいに 泣きたいなんて...
※私の名前を呼んでる
人が居たよ 遠い夏
優しい愛と温もりで
知らない方がいいコト
知らなかったあの日の私
無傷で綺麗な夢を 見てたね
心の奥に 素直さを閉じ込めた
それが弱さと 気付きもせずに...
私の涙を拭って 髪を撫でて 眠らせて
そう遠くは無い昔にいつも笑顔くれた
あなた誰なの?
昨日の私を許して 忘れていた
あのメロディー
明日は思い出せるよに
そっと瞳閉じて
(※くり返し)
The opening lines of 上戸彩's song 感傷 evoke a sense of nostalgia and loneliness, as the singer hears a familiar voice in the corner of a tired night. The tears she thought she had forgotten begin to well up again, and she wonders why she feels so sad. She admits to feeling like a child, wanting to cry until she can't anymore. The chorus reveals that she hears someone calling her name, and memories of a distant summer flood back to her. In that summer, she felt strong and warm in a gentle love, holding onto someone tightly, but she can't remember who that person was. She senses that it might be better not to remember, and reflects on how easy life was before she knew the pain of love. She had an innocent dream then, but she's closed off her emotions now, not realizing that it's her vulnerability that makes her strong. She longs for the past, wishing that someone would wipe away her tears, stroke her hair and put her to sleep.
The lyrics of 感傷 explore themes of memory, love, and heartbreak. The singer is haunted by memories of a love she can't quite remember, clinging to emotions that she thought she had long forgotten. The song is bittersweet, filled with nostalgia and longing for a time that's already passed. In the end, the singer closes her eyes, hoping that she'll be able to remember tomorrow. She wants to hold onto the memories that she cherishes, and let go of the pain that haunts her.
