有讓妳哭的事 我還令妳心寒 要有相依偎時的心情就好了 在這兒讓我看看妳吧 最後的Lady 艾莉 my love so sweet
兩人若是對彼此冷淡相視也不理不睬 要只是對妳無以告人的嚴重相思 我這言窮詞鈍的戀情也就結束了 艾莉 my love so sweet
再笑一次吧 baby 妳純真的笑容 on my mind 再映照一次吧 baby 妳美麗的眼神 in your sight
艾莉 my love so sweet 艾莉 my love so sweet
妳若是決定遠行 也請不要忘記我一直戀妳如昔 更常對妳那般心急如焚 艾莉 my love so sweet
再笑一次吧 baby 妳純真的笑容 on my mind 再映照一次吧 baby 妳美麗的眼神 in your sigh 我如雪雨雜沓的心啊 * 再笑一次吧 baby 妳純真的笑容 on my mind 再映照一次吧 baby 妳美麗的眼神 in your sigh 在我哭訴之後.. * 艾莉 my love 艾莉
Trouble, he will find you no matter where you go No matter if you're fast, no matter if you're slow The eye of the storm or the cry in the morn You're find for a while but you start to lose control
He is there in the dark, He is there in my heart He waits in the winds, He is gonna play a part Trouble is a friend, yeah Trouble is a friend of mine
Trouble is a friend but Trouble is a foe And no matter what I feed him he always seems to grow He sees what I see and He knows what I know So don't forget as you ease on down the road
He is there in the dark, He is there in my heart He waits in the winds, He is gonna play a part Trouble is a friend, yeah Trouble is a friend of mine So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm I won't let him win but I'm a sucker for his charm Trouble is a friend, yeah Trouble is a friend of mine
How I hate the way he makes me feel And how I try to make him leave, I try I try
But he is there in the dark, He is there in my heart He waits in the winds, He is gonna play a part Trouble is a friend, yeah Trouble is a friend of mine So don't be alarmed if he takes you by the arm I won't let him win but I'm a sucker for his charm Trouble is a friend, yeah Trouble is a friend of mine
When a man and woman Start to be tried to do the same thin' again and again Leavin' their dream,their love behind Lookin' after all those long nights to discover a new adventure
Trying to find what the meaning of love Alone at midnight I just want to see you, just want to be feel you Just want to be there by your side Under the same snow, under the same moonlight
《Around 40》好看，主題曲也很棒。第一次看到中文翻譯的主題曲歌詞就愛上了，根本就是為around 40量身定作，完全就是劇情重點再加紅線。這是由竹內瑪麗亞（竹内まりや）唱的「幸せのものさし（幸福的度量衡）」，輕快舒服的旋律，與不知寫出多少 around 40 女人心聲的好歌詞！
「幸せのものさし」 By 竹内まりや
作詞: 竹内まりや ｜ 作曲: 竹内まりや
Count what you have now, don't count what you don't have 太過努力的自己 ｜ 因為太累不小心就哭了出來 在深夜的浴室裏 覺得還沒抓到手裡的幸福 ｜ 就在某處等待著自己 會這麼焦急是因為年齡的關係嗎？ 一直以來獨自生活也很開心 ｜ 從沒感到後悔過 但就像起霧的鏡子一樣 ｜ 看不到明天
(Can't you see? Can't you see?) 自由與孤獨是一體的二面 ｜ 雖然能隨心所欲但寂寞也隨之而來
(Don't you know? Don't you know?) 要是覺得隔壁的草皮比較綠 ｜ 就在這個院子種些花就好
早早就看過這本小說，還記得當下看完的感覺是...This is a love story. 因為故事一開始就讓你知道，犯罪的前因後果，兇手是誰，以及犯罪的現場究竟發生了什麼事情，精彩的部分在於石神與警方之間的鬥智，跟湯川之間的情誼與交手。作為一個推理小說，故事的謎團在於「石神如何協助並確保靖子不被逮捕」，更大的謎團在於「愛，可以讓人為他所愛的人做到什麼地步？」無論是哪一個謎團，東野圭吾都提出了令人驚異且信服的答案，甚者，讓讀者不禁自問「這是可能的嗎？為了愛，真的有必要做到這種程度嗎？」而把球丟給讀者。我相信，這正是小說成功的地方。
歌詞寫得很好，尤其是第一句「Do it, now, you know who you are」，聽著聽著好像真的可以有所改變與期待。它說，雖然現在遇到挫折，但是不要氣餒，不要想不勞而獲，而是要付出行動，最後你會很驚訝的發現你可以做到的超過你的想像。很老套的道理，但人（我）有時就是需要這麼簡單清楚的話來讓自己繼續走下去。無論有沒有夢想或野心在內心裡燃燒，我都覺得，是的，你要知道你是誰，在做些什麼，至少也要自以為知道自己在做些什麼。給自己個交代，是吧。
Do it, now, you know who you are You feel it in your heart and you're burning with ambition But first, wait, won't get it on a plate You're gonna have to work for it harder and harder
And I know, 'cause I've been there before Knocking on the doors with rejection [rejection] And you'll see, 'cause if it's meant to be Nothing can compare to deserving your dreams
It's amazing, it's amazing All that you can do It's amazing, makes my heart sing Now it's up to you
Patience, now, frustration's in the air And people who don't care well it's gonna get you down And you'll, fall, yes you will hit a wall But get back on your feet and you'll be stronger and smarter
And I know, 'cause I've been there before Knocking down the doors won't take no for an answer And you'll see, 'cause if it's meant to be Nothing can compare to deserving your dreams
It's amazing, it's amazing All that you can do It's amazing, makes my heart sing Now it's up to you
Don't be embarrassed Don't be afraid Don't let your dreams slip away It's determination and using your gift And everybody has a gift Never give up Never believe the hype Trust your instincts and most importantly You've got nothing to lose So just go for it
It's amazing, it's amazing All that you can do It's amazing, makes my heart sing Now it's up to you [repeat]
劇情很簡單，一個自稱是克拉圖（Klaatu）的外星人帶著超巨大的機器人與莫名的星雲大球來到地球，宣稱他是「地球的朋友」要與人類的各國領袖對話，拯救地球。因為降落在（一點也不令人感到意外的）曼哈頓，於是自以為是全球領袖的美國，在還沒弄清楚外星人意圖之前，立即決定要消滅外星人。好在有美麗、好心又超聰明科學家--海倫幫了克拉圖一下。直到後來，才發現原來「地球的朋友」不等於「人類的朋友」。對地球來說，人類是破壞地球的原兇，只要人類繼續存在，地球必將毀滅。也就是說，克拉圖是要來毀滅人類的。知道真相後的海倫，為了改變克拉圖的心意，便不斷宣稱人類是可以改變的（We can change），請克拉圖再給人類一個機會。最後，克拉圖決定再給人類一次機會。
非常"直接"與"靈魂"的聲音跟音樂！尤其是她唱著 'I told you, I was trouble. You know that I'm no good'，超有fu ～。不多說，就是 Amy Winehouse。
Amy Winehouse -You Know I'm No Good
Meet you downstairs in the bar and heard, Your rolled up sleeves and your skull t-shirt, You say "Why did you do with him today? " And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray, 'Cause you're my fella, my guy Hand me your Stella and fly, By the time I'm out the door, You tear men down like Roger Moore
I cheated myself, Like I knew I would I told you, I was trouble You know that I'm no good
Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy, He's in a place but I can't get joy Thinking on you in the final throes, This is when my buzzer goes Run out to meet you, chips and pitta, You say "when we married, " Cause you're not bitter, "there'll be none of him no more" I cried for you on the kitchen floor
I cheated myself, Like I knew I would I told you, I was trouble You know that I'm no good
Sweet reunion Jamaica and Spain, We're like how we were again, I'm in the tub, you on the seat, Lick your lips as a I soak my feet Then you notice likkle carpet burns, My stomach drops and my guts churn, You shrug and it's the worst, Who truly stuck the knife in first
I cheated myself, Like I knew I would I told you, I was trouble You know that I'm no good
I cheated myself, Like I knew I would I told you, I was trouble You know that I'm no good
Antony : Those, those beautiful boys Those, those beautiful boys
Cocorosie : Born illegitimately To a whore, most likely He became an orphan Oh what a lovely orphan he was Sent to the reformatory Ten years old, was his first glory Got caught stealing from a nun Now his love story had begun
Thirty years he spent wandering A devil's child with dove wings He went to prison In every country he set foot in Oh how he loved prison How awfully lovely was prison
Antony : All those beautiful boys Pimps and queens and criminal queers All those beautiful boys Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
Cocorosie : His greatest love was executed The pure romance was undisputed Angelic hoodlums and holy ones Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
Antony : All those beautiful boys Pimps and queens and criminal queers All those beautiful boys Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
All those beautiful boys Pimps and queens and criminal queers All those beautiful boys Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
All those beautiful boys Beautiful boys... All those beautiful boys Beautiful boys... Those beautiful boys...

《花樣年華》（ In the Mood for Love）一直是我很喜歡的電影。電影主題曲〈Yumeji' s Theme〉幾乎完美地與電影氛圍相呼應。音樂響起，腦中浮現出的畫面是那風格化、陰暗、濕漉泥濘的小巷，緊鄰的住戶、耳語，身體微微的發汗，旗袍，背影，眼神、手勢。尤其是2人的雙手，取代了語言的功能，道盡了彼此的心思。影片中滿溢著種種空間的距離與刺探。一切的一切塑造出一個極度壓抑的氛圍，但你聞得到，甚至會被空氣中濃郁的情慾流動給嗆到。
日本配樂家梅林茂（Shigeru Umebayashi）為電影《夢二》所寫的〈Yumeji' s Theme〉不知不覺間也充滿了濃烈且壓抑的情慾。就這麼懸在那裡，只要音樂繼續演奏，就不願也無法醒來，真是太墮落的音樂，百聽不厭。當然，不只是主題曲，整張OST都非常耐聽。
張曼玉加旗袍，實在是太正了！

至於苦悶的部分，我想就不需再多說了。
