This is a lovely song encouraging someone to get back up and start again after a sad goodbye. “Sayonara wa Hajimari” means “Goodbye is the Beginning”, meaning goodbye doesn’t have to be the end of something, it can also be the start of something new.

Almost 30-year-old Australian. I've been in love with JE idols for 10 years now. Started with Arashi, moved on to JUMP and recently I've fallen in love with Ebi. I started studying Japanese with a tutor after I graduated university, and have been teaching myself ever since. I lived in the Japanese countryside and taught English at primary and middle school for two years. Currently back in Australia, working as a speech therapist and am about to get married~!

2019 was another amazing year, in both my private and fangirl life. A bit of a long selfish post but it’s nice to look back on what a big and amazing year 2019 has been before taking the next step into 2020!
A.B.C-Z SHOWTIME! Lyric Translation
SHOWTIME! was the song used for the special drama project that Ebi did in conjunction with Nagoya’s Me~Tere/DelSata in early 2019. It’s a really funky song all about putting on a special show just for you. A show like you’ve never seen before! The drama is also pretty fun and my friend N and I have done English subs for the whole thing that you can find on her LJ here –> 🍛
