PASSIONCheck out the song here.

Passion is Utada Hikaru's single for the recently released Playstation 2 game Kingdom Hearts II. The game is a collaboration between Square Enix and Disney and frankly is a tremendously addictive, adventure/rpg game which mixes the best of both worlds into one magical ride. Hikki provides the vocal song for the second time, (the first game's vocal track, "Simple and Clean" was also sung by her) and does not disappoint!

PASSION (Romanized lyrics)

Omoidaseba haruka haruka
Mirai wa doko made mo kagayaiteta
Kirei na aozora no shita de
Bokura wa sukoshi dake obiete ita

Natsukashii iro ni mado go somaru

Mae wo muitereba
Mata aemasu ka
Mirai wa doko e demo tsudzuiteru 'n da
Ooki na kanban no shita de
Jidai no utsuroi wo mite itai na

Nido to aenu
Hito ni basho ni
Mado wo akeru

Omoidaseba haruka haruka
Mirai wa doko made mo kagayaiteta
Kirei na aozora no shita de
Bokura wa itsumademo nemutte ita

Zutto mae ni suki datta hito
Fuyu ni kodomo ga umareru sou da
Mukashi kara no kimari goto wo
Tama ni utagaitaku naru yo
Zutto wasurerarenakatta no
Nengajou wa shashin tsuki kana
Watashitachi ni dekinakatta koto wo
Totemo natsukashiku omou yo

Aozora no shita de

PASSION (English translation from lyrics)

If we remember, that far far away
the future is shining somewhere
we only have to be afraid a little bit
as we sit here under the beautiful blue sky

Beloved colors fill the window

If I can be with you again, before I turn
to the future that is shining somewhere
I want to see our time change
underneath that large sign

There’s someone I can’t meet again, in this city
So I open the window

If we remember, that far far away
the future is shining somewhere
we can sleep forever
under the beautiful blue sky

Before I loved you
I was a child born in winter
Sometimes, I have doubts about
the things that started in the past
Oh I will never ever forget
the picture you attached to that New Year’s card
It’s the things that we can’t do
that we long for so much
