Kimi ni Muchuu

ここが地獄でも天国

---

君に夢中 (Kimi ni Muchuu; "I'm crazy over you") rests as the second track of Hikaru Utada's BAD MODE album. To be honest it was pushed heavily when it first released. So much so, that I tended to actively avoid it because it felt forced down my throat.

However, when I ended up I reciting its lyrics out of the blue, not knowing exactly which song it came from, I figured that it was time to give it another chance once I pieced together that it was this track. And as with almost all of the tracks within BAD MODE, this song was soon propelled to one of my favorite tracks released in the past decade. 君に夢中 is not necessarily less of an introspective evaluation, as while it does involve a showcase of uncontrollable love of another person, it still focuses how how it affects the singer's sense of self directly.

The album's tropes of self-doubt and forbidden love (the latter, mentioned verbatim) are present, but Kimi ni Muchuu introduces themes of shame for chasing after what seems like an unshakable addiction of comfort.

Lyrics

Original	English
君に夢中 Oh 人生狂わすタイプ Ah まるで終わらないdéjà vu バカになるほど 君に夢中	I'm crazy about you Oh, you're the type that screws up someone's life Ah, like a never-ending déjà vu I thought I was smarter than this I'm crazy about you
完璧に見えるあの人も疲れて帰るよ 才能には副作用 栄光には影が付き纏う オートロックのドアが閉まる 靴と鎧を脱ぎ捨てる ここから先はプライベート	That person who looks perfect to you Goes home tired, too Talent has its side effects Glory is haunted by its own shadow The door automatically locks She pops off her shoes and armor From here on it is private
心の損得を考える余裕のある 自分が嫌になります 今どこにいる？ すぐそこに行くよ Oh, baby, baby	I catch myself weighing the gains and losses of the heart And I hate myself for it Where are you now? I’m on my way Oh, baby, baby
You, you, you Oh 人生狂わすタイプ Ah 許されぬ恋ってやつ？ 分かっちゃいるけど　君に夢中	You, you, you Oh, you’re the type that screws up someone’s life Ah, “a forbidden love,” so to speak? I thought I was smarter than this I’m crazy about you
序盤は完全ノーマーク 火がつくと止められなくなる 普段から大人しくて 嘘が下手そうなやつあるある	Starts out totally under the radar When ignited, becomes unstoppable Common traits of those quiet types That seem like they’d be bad liars
嘘じゃないことなど 一つでも有ればそれで充分 どの私が本当のオリジナル？ 思い出させてよ Oh, baby, baby	If there’s even one thing that’s not a lie That’s more than enough Which one is the real, original me? Won’t you come and remind me Oh, baby, baby
君に夢中 Oh 人生狂わすタイプ Ah 来世でもきっと出会う 科学的にいつか証明される	I’m crazy about you Oh, you’re the type that scews up someone’s life Ah, we will surely meet again in the next life It shall be scientifically proven one day
Everything I do makes it obvious That I’m into you and it’s only cuz 好き過ぎてどうにかなる 知れば知るほど遠のく 真実を追いかける最中に 私が私を欺\く	Everything I do makes it obvious That I’m into you and it’s only cuz I want it so bad I’m losing it The more that I know, the further I am from the truth And in the chase, I become my own deceiver
Oh baby, baby You, you, you 人生狂わすタイプ ここが地獄でも天国 バカになるほど　君に夢中	Oh baby, baby, you, you, you Oh, you’re the type that screws up someone’s life Though this could be hell, it feels like heaven I thought I was smarter than this I’m crazy about you...
