The singer herself has added a comment on the YouTube page with the full lyrics.
Dareka no me itsumo ki ni [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]e ikiru tame umareta n janai kimagurena iken ni sayū sa reta n ja fuantei

it sounds like she said itsumo kimishte.

It was not born to always care about someone's eyes to live
Unstable if it depends on capricious opinion

It starts: 誰か (Dareka = somebody) の (no = possessive) 目 (me = eye) いつも (itsumo = always) 気 (ki) に (ni) ...

You've got to teach yourself hiragana, at least.

Hajime no kotoba is translated as the first word in google translate.

Huh? :scratch:

I was repeating a previously made point about the inadequacy of a romaji-only approach to learning Japanese.
Maybe I was prematurely judgmental. I apologize.
I was learning Japanese. I learned hiragana and katakana, but no kanji yet.
If one only wants to speak Japanese, romaji only is okay, but yeah, if you want to read it...

That's OK.

I was learning Japanese. I learned hiragana and katakana, but no kanji yet.

From memory, there's 46 hiragana characters. Knowing them helps a lot, in that many language-learning tools assume that you know them, and a lot of simple Japanese is written in hiragana.

In particular, most of the song lyrics in the OP are in hiragana.

Learning kanji is indeed a daunting task, and I salute anybody who learns even a few.

Yes, that's true from what I've seen as well.

Do you like Kenshin? And the music that goes with it? I like this song:
Not as much for the music but the sentimental value.

Ganbatte kudasai!
