shuake but they’re at a american themed diner and akira spots a jukebox and (with a shit-eating grin) plays mayonaka no door and starts horribly dancing and singing along and and goro flushes and wants so badly to punch him but it’s 3 in the morning and they’re both tired and delirious so he gives in and lets akira pull him up from the booth and dance wholeheartedly and sing unashamedly at the dingy red, white, and blue diner with only two other patrons in sight while it’s pitch black outside and just for a moment, just for a moment it feels like the world is theirs, for their own little minute sharing of fun.

松原みき - 真夜中のドア〜Stay With Me Miki Matsubara - Mayonaka No DOOR~STAY WITH ME

Stay with me 🎶 knocking on midnight’s door 🎶

Sadly, Miki Matsubara passed away in 2004 😔 but I will forever feel happy hat she blessed this world with her music 🙌

i truly love that decades later people are still making music videos for this tune. a true testament to the enduring beauty of this song and of art as continuous collaboration 💕

Stay with me… 口ぐせを言いながら 二人の瞬間を抱いて [ stay with me... saying our favourite words, holding on to our little moment ]

Miki Matsubara - Mayonaka no Door / Stay With Me

lately feeling more and more nostalgic for days that won’t return and increasingly struggling to see what’s the point.

i’m happy you left me because i really have nothing to offer. i only care because it hurts more and more lately.

Junko Yagami - Mayonaka No DOOR ~STAY WITH ME~ Original by Miki Matsubara (1979)

how do you make a song permanently part of you and actually embedded in your soul

found out about the word yuube in japanese yesterday . what the fuck . sickening

ふり返ればいつも そこに 貴方を感じていたの [ if I look back I see that I could always feel you by my sidе ]
