More Zard here.

Here's my most favorite song by Zard... Kokoro wo Hiraite. Awesome lyrics, very charming song and light.

I can listen to this song a thousand times and I will not get bored at all. It's a great song from the beginning to end. From the beginning light drum sound and the throughout lyrics in the song, and overall tones just makes it one piece of unforgettable song.

This song also went all the way to #1 in Japan's Orion Chart and stay on the chart for 15 straight weeks. Many fans also show a lot of admiration for this particular song.

Kokoro wo Hiraite
words by Sakai Izumi

Japanese

Watashi wa anata ga omotteru you na hito dewa
Nai kamo shirenai
Demo fushigi nan dakedo
Anata no koe wo kiiteru to
Totemo yasashii kimochi ni naru no yo

Kono mama zutto wasuretakunai
Ima ga omoide ni kawattemo
Kotoba wa nai kedo kitto anata mo
Onaji kimochi de iru yo ne

Hito no fukaku tsukiau koto
Watashi mo sonna ni tokui ja nakatta
Demo anata wo miteiru to
Watashi to nite ite modokashii
Sou iu tokoro ga tamaranaku suki na no

BIRU no sukima ni futari suwatte
Michi iku hito wo tada nagamete ita
Jikan ga sugiru no ga kanashikute
Anata no kata ni yorisotta

My dream Your smile
Wasureyou to sureba suru hodo suki ni naru
Sore ga gokai ya sakkaku demo...
Kokoro wo hiraite

Donna toki mo anata no mune ni
Mayowazu tobikonde yuku ne
Your dream I believe
Tokimeiteru kokoro wo hiraite

English

It may just be that
I'm not the person you're thinking of
But though it's strange
When I hear your voice
I feel so much more at ease

I never want to forget this moment
Even if reality changed to memory
Even though you don't say it
You feel the same way, don't you

Having deep relationships
Wasn't something I was good at
But when I'm look at you I see
You're impatient, just like me
Such a thing must be irresistible love

We sat together and just watched the people
Walking down the streets through a gap in the buildings
The passing of time saddened me
And I snuggled against your shoulder

My dream Your smile
The more I try to forget, the more I come to love you
Even though it's a misunderstanding...
Open up your heart

No matter when it is, I'll throw myself
Into your arms, without losing my way
Your dream, I believe
So open up your anxious heart
