もっと強くなれていたら｜好きなのに別れを選びました【切ない青春バラード】

Even though I loved you, I chose to break up. Back then, I was more preoccupied with not succumbing to the voices of those around me than with protecting you. The classroom after school. You were waiting for me at the school gate. The path we walked side by side at dusk. The small gift you offered me in the ginkgo park. I really wanted to accept it. I really wanted to stay by your side forever. But, hurt by rumors and cold stares, she even hid her feelings of love, and, holding back tears, she waved goodbye and chose to part ways. Time passed, and at 30 years old, she visited her alma mater again. In the classroom bathed in the setting sun, she remembers her past self who couldn't be honest, and you, who smiled kindly without knowing anything. "If only I had been stronger." This is a poignant coming-of-age ballad depicting the unforgettable first love of a woman who grew up with such regrets. This time, we're releasing a collaborative work with our sister channel, **"Enka Time That Touches the Heart"**. Something nostalgic, yet a little new—we've poured our hearts into creating this kind of "enka for today's era." This channel is sure to be enjoyed by those who love Proof of Pulse's ballads. "Enka Time That Touches the Heart" primarily uses still images, but this isn't for simplification; it's a deliberate choice to allow viewers to savor the expressions and negative space of each image. Because of the quiet visuals, we aim to create works that convey the lyrics, vocals, and emotions of the characters more deeply. We hope this song will encourage you to listen to the music on our sister channel as well.    / @kokoro_enka   Do you have words you'd like to convey right now?

[About this channel's production process] This video utilizes AI technology (music and image generation) as a creative tool, but the creator (Proof of Pulse) manually constructs the lyric story, creates cinematic visuals using Midjourney, and adds detailed camera work (zoom, horizontal movement, etc.) and effects using Filmora. It is an original video work with unique added value and a distinctive worldview, designed to gently accompany viewers at the end of their day. Music: Suno AI Lyrics: ChatGPT / Proof of Pulse Directed by: Proof of Pulse [Lyrics] The classroom after school The back seat where the setting sun shines Until yesterday, that was my special place In the courtyard visible from the window We always laughed together Just watching made me smile I loved you when you spotted me and called out, "Let's go home" I was so happy My heart pounded If only I could have been more honest Could I have stayed by your side forever? I looked up at the dazzling sky to stop the tears from falling Since when had rumors been spreading faster than I could remember? Every time I heard laughter, I learned to hang my head Just talking to you made yesterday's friends seem so far away I had no choice but to hide even my feelings of love I wanted to be by your side But I was afraid of losing my place in the world I even acted coldly towards you, who knew nothing If only I had been stronger I wouldn't have let go of your hand Why did I laugh, hiding the pain in my heart? That day, I really wanted to say I didn't hate you Please forgive me for having no choice but to turn my back on you Thank you for finding me Thank you for giving me my first love Even on the days I cried in silence, your smile saved me In the setting sun that enveloped me, I gazed at the seat we sat in that day And I quietly conveyed this "I loved you" in my heart, too late #HeartbreakingYouthBallad #FirstLove #UnforgettablePerson #Regret #LoveSong #HeartbreakingSong #Youth #OriginalSong #AIMusic #OfficialMV
