real Emotion

"real Emotion" from Final Fantasy X-2 (Japanese)

"real Emotion" is the opening theme of Final Fantasy X-2. Although presented as a performance by Yuna in Luca, in reality, it's sung by Leblanc, posing as Yuna through the First Steps Garment Grid and Songstress dressphere. It was written by Kenn Kato and composed by Kazuhiro Hara.

The Japanese version was sung by Koda Kumi, and the English version was sung by Jade Villalon (Jade Valerie) from the German pop group Sweetbox. Koda also sang a different English version released on her single, Come With Me. The Come With Me single also includes a remix titled "real Emotion" (DJ MSK Remix).

The songs featured in the games are titled "FFX-2 Mix", with full-length versions available on the singers' albums - Grow Into One for Koda and the special edition of Sweetbox's Adagio for Jade.

あの日ココロの彼方に

描いてた場所にいる

途方に暮れてたりする

けれどもう戻れない

夢に見たカタチとは

なにもかもが違う

現実には...　眩暈さえする

リアルな世界に揺れてる感情

負けたくない

もうただ走るしかないこの胸に

聞こえてくる

キミは一人じゃない

What can I do for you?

I can hear you

What can I do for you? (Oh-oh)

What can I do for you? (Oh baby, yeah)

What can I do for you?

I pictured myself somewhere far

In my heart that day

It becomes dark in the distance,

but I can no longer return

The shape I saw in my dream

Is different from everything

I become dizzy from reality

The feeling of swaying in the real world

I don't want to lose

The only thing I can hear from my heart is

To run.

You are not alone

What can I do for you?

I can hear you

What can I do for you?

I won't turn back

I won't rely on you

Because if something happens,

You'll always come to me quickly

The only thing I can do now

Is to believe...

The truth is in my heart

The feeling of swaying in the real world

Holds me up

You taught me everything I know

That is me now

So, I am not alone

What can I do for you?

Wh-wh-wh-what can I do for you?

What can I do for you?

I can hear you

The feeling of swaying in the real world

Even if you feel it

If you close your eyes, I will be there

There is a bond between us

So, you are not alone

The feeling of swaying in the real world

I don't want to lose

The only thing I can hear from my heart is

To run.

You are not alone

What can I do for you? (Yeah-hey)

What can I do for you? (Oh na-na-na, yeah)

What can I do for you?

What can I do for you? (Oh-oh)

What can I do for you?

Never thought that I would wind up by myself

If I told my wild imagination

But I here I am finding myself so lost

And there is a way for me to turn back

All the things I see

They are different from

What I had imagined they would be

Everything is different

Now I'm getting dizzy spells

It's real emotion, shakin' up the world

I'll never give it up

I don't ever wanna

Lose this far

No more than I can do

When I am just too wrong

And in my heart I can hear you say

That I am not alone

What can I do for you?

I can hear you

What can I do for you?

Never gotta look back, I'm already here

'Cause you gave me faith

I'm on my own now

If anything happens unexpectedly

I know you are there to come and save me

What do I do now?

What can I do now?

For the truth that you have made me see

All that I can do now

Is believe in what I feel

It's real emotion, shakin' up the world

I'll be forever blessed for you to stand by me

Then, before

So many things you tell me

That's why I am here

You give me strength and now I know

That I am not alone

What can I do for you?

I can hear you

It's real emotion, shakin' up the world

You're always here with me, so deep in my heart

And I am there

Beside you when you need me

Since I'm finally strong

Just close your eyes and you'll see me there

'Cause you are not alone

It's real emotion, shakin' up the world

I'll never give it up

I don't ever wanna

Lose this far

No more than I can do

When I am just too wrong

And in my heart I can hear you say

That I am not alone

What can I do for you? (Yeah-hey)

What can I do for you? (Oh na-na-na, yeah)

What can I do for you?

What can I do for you? (Oh-oh)

What can I do for you? (Ooh baby, yeah, ohh yeah-oh yeah)

International version[edit | edit source]

What can I do for you?

I can't hear you

What can I do for you?

Far beyond the hazy borders of my heart

I could see a place

That's somethin' like this

Every now and then I don't know what to do

Still I know that I can never go back

But the things I've seen

In those hazy dreams

Can't compare to what I'm seein' now

Everything's so different

That it brings me to my knees

And though I know

The world of real emotion has surrounded me

I won't give in to it

Now I know that forward is the only way my heart can go

I hear your voice calling out to me

You'll never be alone

What can I do for you?

I can't hear you

What can I do for you?

I don't plan on lookin' back on my old life

I don't ever plan to rely on you

Even if by chance everything should go wrong

You'd come anyway and try to save me

Though from time to time

It's an upward climb

All I know is that I must believe

'Cause the truth I'm seekin'

Always was inside of me

And when I find

The world of real emotion has surrounded me

The many things that you taught me then

Will always be enough to get me through the pain

Because of you I am strong enough

To know I'm not alone

What can I do for you?

I can't hear you

And if I find

The real world of emotion has surrounded me

And I can't go on

You are there, the moment that I close my eyes, to comfort me

We are connected for all of time

I'll never be...

And though I know

The world of real emotion has surrounded me

I won't give in to it

Now I know that forward is the only way my heart can go

I hear your voice calling out to me

You'll never be alone

What can I do for you?

I can't hear you

What can I do for you?

I can't hear you
