"Jounetsu"(Passion)

Jounetsu (Passion.)

Don’t cry”
Because you’re so important to me
When you can’t reach your dreams I’ll make up for it

When you close your eyes sadly
You can’t see our love
We don’t need tears, so let’s move into the future

If the instinct of my passion has made me take your hand and run
I won’t be able to stop

I want to tell you how much I love you, I want to tell you now
About this unchanging, fleeting feeling

“I won’t leave you”
Because I don’t want to leave you, I’ll protect only you
I’ll be by your side all the time

Whenever you feel like cry
I’ll come and hold you right away
Tell me why you’re crying

The instinct of my passion tells me I’m not alone anymore
I love you all the time, for all time

I want to believe in tomorrow, I want us both to believe
Let’s make our endless dreams come true

If the instinct of my passion has made me take your hand and run
I won’t be able to stop

I want to send you my love, send it to you now
I want to send this endlessly overflowing feeling
To you

About the song....

The twelfth single by Japanese duo,The Kinki Kids,arrived right at the top of Japans'singles chart as soon as it was released on May 3rd,2001.It was included within their "E" Album that July and became the theme tune to the twelve episode JDrama "The Rookie"in which Domoto Koichi,one member of Kinki starred as a young detective.

The song was often performed with a vigorous-and highly watchable-dance routine,sometimes with the backing dancers Kat Tun (now famous, themselves)sometimes with an huge contingent of Johnny Juniors-tumbling about onstage in a routine which one just hoped everybody would survive(!)The audience adored it-and who could really blame them?!!!?
