Di jarak yang jauh itu
Di langit yang biru itu
Di bima galaksi itu
Aku ingin kau melihatku
Melihat dari yang terbaik
Dari sudut pandang yang baik
Hei lihat aku
Yakinkan aku bahwa kau melihatku dibalik tirai itu
Hei lihat aku
Yakinkan aku bahwa kau melihat apa yang aku lihat
Hei lihat aku
Yakinkan aku bahwa akulah yang kanu tuju
Sebagaimana aku melihat kamu.
aoitori otogibanashi no you ni shiawase wo hakonde kureru shinjiteta
aoi sora jiyuu ni tobu sugata ni kono omoi kasanete wa negatteta
A blue bird just like in fairy tales. I believed that it would bring me happiness.
Seeing it flying in the blue sky, I prayed that our feelings would overlap.
dakedo itsuka wa kiete shimau
maboroshi no you ni aimai na sugata
But someday it'll end up disappearing
Like a legend, turning into a hazy form.
wasureta koto nante nai kedo suberi ochiru you ni
surinukete awa no you ni kieru
soredemo omoi wa zutto zutto mune no fukaku fukaku de
nemuru you ni tada iki wo hisome matteru
tokihanate kago wa mou iranai
I've never done something like forget, but as if I tripped and fell,
I go through and disappear like bubbles.
But even so, these feelings are always, always within my heart, deep deep within.
As if I'm sleeping, I conceal my breath and wait.
Set me free, I don't need a cage anymore.
dokomademo tsuzuku kagami no naka ni shiawase na ano hi no watashi utsushiteta
tooi sora katachi no nai sekai ni hontou no nukumori wo sagashiteta
Within the mirror that goes on forever, the happy me from that day reflected.
In the faraway sky of the world with no form, I searched for true warmth.
tama ni kokoro wa yurete shimau
kyuukutsu na sora wo miageru hitomi
From time to time, my heart ends up swaying
When I gaze at this narrow sky with my eyes.
afuredasu negai to onaji dake kizutsuki mo suru kedo
furimukeba yume no you ni aoku
kotoba ni naranakute mo kitto kono te nobasu yo tooku e
MONOKURO no niji ga iro wo tsukeru sono toki
kiseki wa mou hajimatteiru
It hurts just as much as an overflowing wish, but
If I look back, it's as blue as my dream.
Even if I can't put it in words, I'm sure I'll reach out my hand, no matter how far.
When a monochrome rainbow gets it's colors,
A miracle will begin.
namida to isshoni koboreta kimochi ano hi to onaji kokoro ga RINKU shita
kako wo nugisute asu wo kakagete PEEJI wo mekureba ugokidasu kara
yobikakeru aoitori hontou wa...watashi no naka?
That feeling that dripped together with teardrops linked with the same heart as on that day.
I throw off the past and post up tomorrow, because if I flip through the pages, I will start to move.
Is the blue bird that calls me... Actually inside of me?
"Wasureta koto nante nai kara..."
furishiboru koe ga ikutsu mono yume ni hikari wo tomosu
kanaetai omoi wa zutto zutto mune no fukaku fukaku de
tobitateru toki wo iki wo hisome matteru
tokihanate kago wa mou iranai
"I've never done something like forget, so..."
My strained voice turns on the light of dreams for so many people.
These feelings I want to make come true are always, always within my heart, deep deep within.
Ready to fly, I conceal my breath and wait.
Set me free, I don't need a cage anymore.

Wasiat Rasulullah Shallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam Kepada Abu Dzar Al-Ghifari
عَنْ أَبِيْ ذَرٍّ قَالَ: أَوْصَانِيْ خَلِيْلِي بِسَبْعٍ : بِحُبِّ الْمَسَاكِيْنِ وَأَنْ أَدْنُوَ مِنْهُمْ، وَأَنْ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ أَسْفَلُ مِنِّي وَلاَ أَنْظُرَ إِلَى مَنْ هُوَ فَوقِيْ، وَأَنْ أَصِلَ رَحِمِيْ وَإِنْ جَفَانِيْ، وَأَنْ أُكْثِرَ مِنْ لاَ حَوْلَ وَلاَ قُوَّةَ إِلاَّ بِاللهِ، وَأَنْ أَتَكَلَّمَ بِمُرِّ الْحَقِّ، وَلاَ تَأْخُذْنِيْ فِي اللهِ لَوْمَةُ لاَئِمٍ، وَأَنْ لاَ أَسْأَلَ النَّاسَ شَيْئًا.
Dari Abu Dzar Radhiyallahu ‘anhu , ia berkata: “Kekasihku (Rasulullah) Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam berwasiat kepadaku dengan tujuh hal: (1) supaya aku mencintai orang-orang miskin dan dekat dengan mereka, (2) beliau memerintahkan aku agar aku melihat kepada orang yang berada di bawahku dan tidak melihat kepada orang yang berada di atasku, (3) beliau memerintahkan agar aku menyambung silaturahmiku meskipun mereka berlaku kasar kepadaku, (4) aku dianjurkan agar memperbanyak ucapan lâ haulâ walâ quwwata illâ billâh (tidak ada daya dan upaya kecuali dengan pertolongan Allah), (5) aku diperintah untuk mengatakan kebenaran meskipun pahit, (6) beliau berwasiat agar aku tidak takut celaan orang yang mencela dalam berdakwah kepada Allah, dan (7) beliau melarang aku agar tidak meminta-minta sesuatu pun kepada manusia”.

FIQIH HADITS (4) : MEMPERBANYAK UCAPAN LA HAULA WALA QUWWATA ILLA BILLAH (TIDAK ADA DAYA DAN UPAYA KECUALI DENGAN PERTOLONGAN ALLAH)
Mengapa Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam menyebutkan kalimat lâ haulâ wa lâ quwwata illâ billâh?
Jawabannya, agar kita melepaskan diri kita dari segala apa yang kita merasa mampu untuk melakukannya, dan kita serahkan semua urusan kepada Allah. Sesungguhnya yang dapat menolong dalam semua aktivitas kita hanyalah Allah Ta’ala, dan ini adalah makna ucapan kita setiap kali melakukan shalat,
“Hanya kepada-Mu kami beribadah dan hanya kepada-Mu kami memohon pertolongan”. [al-Fâtihah/1:5].
Dan kalimat ini, adalah makna dari doa yang sering kita ucapkan dalam akhir shalat kita:
اَللَّهُمَّ أَعِنِّي عَلَى ذِكْرِكَ وَشُكْرِكَ وَحُسْنِ عِبَادَتِكَ.
“Ya Allah, tolonglah aku agar dapat berdzikir kepada-Mu, bersyukur kepada-Mu, dan beribadah dengan baik kepada-Mu” [1].
Pada hakikatnya seorang hamba tidak memiliki daya dan upaya kecuali dengan pertolongan Allah. Seorang penuntut ilmu tidak akan mungkin duduk di majlis ilmu, melainkan dengan pertolongan Allah. Seorang guru tidak akan mungkin dapat mengajarkan ilmu yang bermanfaat, melainkan dengan pertolongan Allah. Begitupun seorang pegawai, tidak mungkin dapat bekerja melainkan dengan pertolongan Allah.
Seorang hamba tidak boleh sombong dan merasa bahwa dirinya mampu untuk melakukan segala sesuatu. Seorang hamba seharusnya menyadari bahwa segala apa yang dilakukannya semata-mata karena pertolongan Allah. Sebab, jika Allah tidak menolong maka tidak mungkin dia melakukan segala sesuatu. Artinya, dengan mengucapkan kalimat ini, seorang hamba berarti telah menunjukkan kelemahan, ketidakmampuan dirinya, dan menunjukkan bahwa ia adalah orang yang sangat membutuhkan pertolongan Allah.
FIQIH HADITS (5) : BERANI MENGATAKAN KEBENARAN MESKIPUN PAHIT
Pahitnya kebenaran, tidak boleh mencegah kita untuk mengucapkannya, baik kepada orang lain maupun kepada diri sendiri. Apabila sesuatu itu jelas sebagai sesuatu yang haram, syirik, bid’ah dan munkar, jangan sampai kita mengatakan sesuatu yang haram adalah halal, yang syirik dikatakan tauhid, perbuatan bid’ah adalah Sunnah, dan yang munkar dikatakan ma’ruf.
Menyembah kubur, misalnya, yang sudah jelas perbuatan syirik namun banyak para dai yang beralasan bahwa hal tersebut, adalah permasalahan yang masih diperselisihkan. Seorang dai harus tegas mengatakan kebenaran, perbuatan yang bid’ah harus dikatakan bid’ah, dan perbuatan yang haram harus dikatakan haram, dengan membawakan dalil dan penjelasan para ulama tentang keharamannya.
Sesungguhnya jihad yang paling utama ialah mengatakan kalimat yang haq (kebenaran) kepada penguasa.
أَفْضَلُ الْجِهَادِ كَلِمَةُ حَقٍّ عِنْدَ سُلْطَانٍ جَائِرٍ.
“Jihad yang paling utama ialah mengatakan kalimat yang haq (kebenaran) kepada penguasa yang zhalim”. [2]
Yaitu dengan mendatangi mereka dan menasihati mereka dengan cara yang baik. Jika tidak bisa, dapat dilakukan dengan menulis surat atau melalui orang yang menjadi wakil mereka, tidak dengan mengadakan orasi, provokasi, demonstrasi. Dan tidak boleh menyebarkan aib mereka melalui mimbar, mimbar Jum’at, dan yang lainnya.
Islam telah memberikan ketentuan dalam menasihati para pemimpin (ulil amri). Rasulullah Shallallahu ‘alaihi wa sallam bersabda:
مَنْ أَرَادَ أَنْ يَنْصَحَ لِذِي سُلْطَانٍ فَلاَ يُبْدِهِ عَلاَنِيَةً وَلَكِنْ يَأْخُذْ بِيَدِهِ فَيَخْلُوْ بِهِ فَإِنْ قَبِلَ مِنْهُ فَذَاكَ وَ إِلاَّ كَانَ قَدْ أَدَّى الَّذِي عَلَيْهِ.
“Barangsiapa yang ingin menasihati penguasa, janganlah ia menampakkan dengan terang-terangan. Hendaklah ia pegang tangannya lalu menyendiri dengannya. Kalau penguasa itu mau mendengar nasihat itu, maka itu yang terbaik. Dan bila si penguasa itu enggan (tidak mau menerima), maka sungguh ia telah melaksanakan kewajiban amanah yang dibebankan kepadanya”[3].

My dream so far. Why? because all of them in a wonderland. Enough.. Time for serious will be ready. Go go go in wonderland.
Minato Namikaze (波風ミナト, Namikaze Minato), also known as Konoha's Yellow Flash (木ノ葉の黄色い閃光, Konoha no Kiiroi Senkō; English "Yellow Flash of the Leaf"), was the Fourth Hokage (四代目火影, Yondaime Hokage; Literally meaning "Fourth Fire Shadow").
When Minato was in the Academy, his class-mate and future wife Kushina Uzumaki thought he looked "flaky" and even "girly".[2] He dreamed of being acknowledged by the Konoha villagers by becoming Hokage, which Kushina considered to be an impossible dream for someone like him.[3] Years later however, when Kushina was kidnapped by Kumogakure ninja, Minato was the only one to pick up on the fact that she was leaving behind strands of her red hair to mark their path. After rescuing her, Minato explained that he had always admired her hair. No longer seeing him as "flaky", she fell in love with him.
According to those who knew him, Minato was a very talented ninja prodigy - a rare genius that appeared only once a generation. He graduated from the Academy at the age of ten, and was added to a genin team under the tutelage of Jiraiya. Jiraiya took a special interest in Minato, and accepted him as an apprentice, amongst other things teaching him the Summoning Technique. Jiraiya even believed Minato might be the Child of the Prophecy, someone who would someday save the world.
Konoha's Yellow Flash
In time, Minato was put in charge of a genin team of his own, consisting of Rin, Obito Uchiha, and Kakashi Hatake. During the Third Shinobi World War, Minato led his team on a mission into Kusagakure to destroy the Kannabi Bridge. Because Kakashi had recently become a jōnin, Minato gave leadership of the mission to Kakashi while he went to help Konoha's forces on the front lines. After meeting up with the surviving and out-numbered Konoha ninja, Minato used his Flying Thunder God Technique to destroy the opposing Iwagakure ninja. He then returned to his team, just in time to save Kakashi and Rin from another group of Iwa forces; he was too late to save Obito. When Kakashi and Rin recovered from the ordeal, Minato helped them complete the mission.
A attacks Minato. At some point, he clashed with A multiple times.[5] At their first meeting he recognised A's brother Killer B as the jinchūriki of the Eight-Tails. Upon receiving the signal that Konoha was retreating, he declared that they would later face each other to put the title of Kage on the line and also offered A the advise of making sure his brother knew who he was before becoming neither human nor jinchūriki.
Fourth Hokage
When the war ended, Minato, not yet thirty years of age, was chosen to become the Fourth Hokage.[6] At some point during his reign he read Jiraiya's first book. He liked the main character's determination, believing he was just like Jiraiya. Since Kushina was pregnant with their son, Minato informed Jiraiya that they planned to name their son "Naruto" in the hopes that he would be just like the main character and, in turn, Jiraiya. Jiraiya warned them that this would make him Naruto's godfather, but they insisted that this was a good thing.[7]
Because Kushina was the jinchūriki of the Nine-Tailed Demon Fox, special arrangements had to be made for Naruto's birth. Since the seal keeping the Nine-Tails within her would weaken during childbirth, Naruto would secretly be delivered in a remote location outside Konoha. ANBU would guard the area and Minato would maintain the seal while Kushina went into labour. Soon after Naruto was born they were found by Tobi. Tobi killed all of the ANBU and took Naruto hostage, threatening to do the same to him. Minato was able to take Naruto back, but this gave Tobi the chance to escape with Kushina. Minato found a safe place to put Naruto and then teleported to Kushina. He arrived in time to stop the Nine-Tails, having been removed from her body, from killing her, and teleported back to Naruto. Minato reunited mother and son and then went to help defend Konoha from the Nine-Tails. Minato arrived in the early stages of the Nine-Tails' attack. After protecting the village from its Tailed Beast Ball, Minato tried to reach the Third Hokage to inform him of what had happened. He was stopped by Tobi, who tried to send him away. Minato escaped but was followed by Tobi. When the two began fighting, Minato struggled to hit Tobi, Tobi being intangible whenever he was not currently attacking. By carefully timing his Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato was able to strike him during one of these rare moments and apply a seal for the Flying Thunder God Technique to him, allowing him to teleport to Tobi whenever he wanted. He placed a Contract Seal on Tobi to remove the Nine-Tails from his control,forcing Tobi to flee. Minato calls forth the Shinigami. When Minato returned to the village he found it in ruin. He summoned Gamabunta to distract the Nine-Tails long enough to teleport it away from the village to Naruto and Kushina's location. Kushina restrained it and, dying from the trauma of its removal, volunteered to have it sealed back into her body so that it would die with her. Distraught, Minato suggested instead using the Dead Demon Consuming Seal on the Nine-Tails to weaken it and then seal the rest into Naruto. Kushina objected since this would mean Minato's death and give Naruto a horrible, lonely life. Minato insisted it was for the best since allowing the Nine-Tails to resurrect itself, without a jinchūriki to contain it, would inevitably cause harm to Konoha and the Fire Country. Also, Minato was convinced that Naruto, the "Child of the Prophecy" Jiraiya had once told him about, would need the Nine-Tails' power to someday defeat Tobi. After Minato used the Dead Demon Consuming Seal on it, the Nine-Tails realised their intentions and tried to kill Naruto, but Minato and Kushina used their bodies to shield him. While Kushina gave a few finals words to Naruto, Minato summoned Gerotora, gave him the key to the seal he would use on Naruto, and sent him to Jiraiya. After Kushina told Naruto how much his parents loved him he seconds everything she says and then sealed the Nine-Tails and the rest of their chakra into Naruto so that they would be able to see him again when he was older, ending their lives. Since the Third Hokage had come to help, Minato used his last moments to request that Konoha think of Naruto as a hero, and not the container of the monster that caused so much death and destruction. Before he died he sealed his own chakra into Naruto so that he could someday see Naruto again too, specifically if ever the seal was about to break so that he could restore it.
Personality
Jiraiya and Tsunade pointed out that, while Naruto physically bears great resemblance to Minato, his personality is almost identical to his mother. While Naruto is boisterous and relatively thick, Minato was calm, collected, and highly perceptive. He also seemed well aware of the terror his reputation inspired in his foes. He appeared to be respectful of those around him; he didn't like freely speaking about others' pasts, and was said to be a very nice person. He deeply cared for and loved his wife and child, becoming very nervous because of Kushina's pain during labour and even shedding tears of joy at his son's birth. He also enjoyed reading, and took a special liking to reading Jiraiya's work in particular.
Jiraiya said that Minato was a shrewd person, and was not a man who would do something without reason. He was very knowledgeable of the ninja world, concluding that only Madara Uchiha would have the power or the reason to have the Nine-Tails attack Konoha during their fight. Minato was known for his unbeatable determination and unbelievable drive, which he passed on to his son. In his youth, Minato also had a desire to be acknowledged by everyone in the village and to become a great Hokage, again, a trait passed onto his son. His devotion to the village and his love for his friends inspired all those around him, and, as a result, he became well-liked by the villagers. Minato was nevertheless understanding that Naruto must feel hurt by the fact that his own father had sealed a monster inside him.
Appearance
Minato was a fairly tall, fair-skinned man who on more than one occasion has been compared with Naruto in terms of physical appearance; both have bright blue-eyes and spiky blond hair. Unlike Naruto, Minato had jaw-length bangs framing either side of his face. According to Jiraiya, Minato was considered to be very handsome, as many women were infatuated with him. His normal attire consisted of a standard Konoha-nin uniform with two bands each on both of his sleeves, a flak jacket and a forehead protector; after becoming Hokage, he started wearing a short-sleeved long white coat over his normal attire, decorated by flames-like motifs on the edges, with the kanji for "Fourth Hokage" (四代目火影, Yondaime Hokage) written vertically down the back, and closed on the front by a thin orange rope. In his youth, he wore a tracksuit with three stripes on the sleeves, mesh undershirt, dark trousers and dark calf-length sandals.
Abilities
According to Jiraiya, Minato was one of the most gifted shinobi who ever lived. Anko Mitarashi, in discussion with the Third Hokage about Orochimaru's immense strength and his threat to the village, stated that she wished the Fourth had been alive to face him. During the Third Great Shinobi War, flee-on-sight orders were given to enemy shinobi should they ever see him appear on the battlefield. Minato was also capable of countering the Nine-Tails' attacks to the point Tobi needed to step in to face him directly. After their battle, Tobi commended Minato and stated he was worthy of the title of the Fourth Hokage.[8] His abilities were so far advanced that even the Fourth Raikage thought that no one would be able to surpass him.[5]
Like Tobirama Senju, Minato could also detect the presence of people within an area by simply placing his finger on the ground.[9]
Minato beating A's speed. One of Minato's trademark attributes was his immense speed and instantaneous reflexes. As a testament to his speed, C compared Minato's reflexes to the Fourth Raikage's own even when he was using his Lightning Release Armour,[10] though the Raikage admitted that Minato was faster than he was.[11] Even without using his Flying Thunder God Technique, Minato was fast enough to catch an infant Naruto mid-fall to prevent him from being stabbed by Tobi.[12] He could also respond to Tobi's Space–Time Migration technique quickly enough to escape it.[13] When fighting, he often employed his unique kunai, wielding them proficiently and taking advantage of their particular form, which made them even more suitable for close range combat than standard kunai. Using this type of kunai, he was able to nearly sever one of the Eight-Tails' tentacles when B moved to save his brother from Minato's counter attack despite having nearly no leverage, showing a high amount of strength.[14]
