Nice to meet you.
It seems this is really a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity,
and I'm so nervous, I got a pimple on my chin last night from worrying about it. Haha.
Embarrassing, stop it, please take a picture!

Nice to meet you.
The reply to the email I sent yesterday
still hasn't come, even with the dawn.
Oh, I wish I hadn't sent it.
I'm just filled with regret.
I want to get to know you better,
and become even closer than we are now,
but would you dislike it if I got too involved?
I can't bring myself to ask because I think you might.
What do you do for work?
Do you have a girlfriend?
I have so many things I want to ask.
I want to meet you this summer and watch fireworks together.
It's a bold request, but
I want to be your girlfriend.
The rain that had been falling has stopped,
and I saw a clear blue sky peeking through the clouds.
Are you looking at this sky too?
I can smell autumn in the air.
"What kind of person do you like?"
"How long do you like your hair?"
There are still so many things I'm curious about.
Ever since the day I met you,
I don't need anything else.
I don't need a flashy romance,
I want to be your girlfriend.
The western sky is dyeing the clouds red.
Oh, summer is coming to an end.
Before this season passes,
I want to watch fireworks with you.
It's a bold request, but
just the two of us.
Dreaming of a love that will never come true,
I fall asleep alone tonight.
I don't need a flashy romance,
I want to be your girlfriend.
Thank you.
Yeah, it was good, wasn't it?
It was good, right?
It's over, I want to go home now!
Hurry up, please! I want to go home!
I want to escape from here.
But I have to say something.
That's the first take.
I have to answer, right?
Quickly, quickly, get me out of here!
Thank you very much.

Key Grammar Structures
-
昨日送ったメールの返事はやはり来ないまま
➔ Past tense + Adverb of degree + Continuing state
➔ The sentence uses the past tense ("送った") to describe a completed action (sending the email). "やはり" (adverb of degree) indicates 'as expected' or 'still'. "来ないまま" (continuing state) shows the reply hasn't come *yet* and remains unreceived.
-
貴方をもっとちゃんと知りたいけれど
➔ Desire + Adverb of degree + Conditional particle
➔ This sentence expresses a desire to know the person better. "もっと" (adverb of degree) means 'more'. "ちゃんと" (adverb) means 'properly' or 'thoroughly'. "けれど" (conditional particle) introduces a contrasting thought or hesitation.
-
深入りしたら嫌がりませんか？
➔ Conditional clause + Potential verb + Question particle
➔ This is a rhetorical question expressing concern about overstepping boundaries. "深入りしたら" (conditional clause) means 'if I get too involved'. "嫌がる" (potential verb) means 'to dislike' or 'to be averse to'. "ませんか" (question particle) turns the statement into a question, but it's used here to express the speaker's worry.
-
バイトはなんですか？
➔ Noun + Question particle
➔ A direct question asking about the person's part-time job. "バイト" (noun) is a shortened form of 'part-time job'. "は" (topic marker) indicates the topic of the question. "なんですか" (question particle) means 'what is it?'
