The ONE

あなたにとって 一番大切な[ONE]は何ですか?
Anata ni totte ichiban taisetsu na ONE wa nandesuka?

その[ONE]を 考えたことありますか?
Sono ONE wo kangaetakoto arimasuka?

Okay get your eyes rolling again. It's the opening words for Arashi 2005 One Summer Concert. The meaning - roughly that is (Thanks to Aida who forwarded me the subtitles made by Dalinee and Lina)

What is the most important 'One' for you?
Have you ever given a thought of that 'One'?

Famous word - THE ONE

Have you?
What do you think when you hear the word One?
Your other half? Your family?

It could be anything dear to you. Of course when we hear 'The One' most people would associate it with their other half ie: spouse/husband/wife/boyfriend/girlfriend. For one, how could we identify our most important one? I'm not sure myself whether the 'One' feeling is derived in a spur of a moment, trend following or is it mutual feeling? Anyone could make a mistake, but then again, everybody makes mistake. Only the measure of the mistake made is different.

Is it the feeling that makes your heart beats so fast you didn't know what hit you? The classing cartwheel in the stomach feeling? Can't see them eye to eye? Picturing the future with them?

The ONE right now?
Or the ONE for all time?

Sorry, I'm too emphazing on the One as the other half. The one would be the very first in our mind when we see something. It could be anything though - car, food, clothing, books. It could even be the lamp post for all I care ^^

I couldn't give an exact answer as for what or who is my important 'One'. My family would top up my list, followed by my friends.

Koibito?


Zenzen arimasen.

Picky?
Just muddled up.

*Concert roll-off*
Ohno: And so the concert wraps up with this song. Today has been enjoyable - thank you!
Aiba: Do you recall the question that was asked at the beginning of the concert? What is the most important one for you?
Sho: Within our lives, there are a lot of pain and sadness but above all that, there should be more happiness.
Nino: Oneself, family members, friends, loved ones. Within each of us, there must be an important One, no doubt.
Jun: Have you already discovered your most important one? Lastly, for all of us Arashi members, the most important one is here - all of you~~~ (You heart-melting sweet talker. But I still dislike your new hair extension ^^;)


My last word though,
Don't forget the Almighty One.
