Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)
"Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)" is a song written by John Lennon released on his 1973 album ''Mind Games''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=The Beatles Bible )〕 The song is included on the 1990 boxset ''Lennon''.
==Lyrics & music==
The song's lyrics have Lennon apologising to wife Yoko Ono.〔 Aisumasen is a slightly corrupted version of the formal term aisumimasen, which means "I'm sorry" in Japanese.〔〔 The line "It's hard enough I know to feel your own pain" reprises a theme found in a line from Lennon's earlier song "I Found Out."〔〔 After the lyrics run out, a guitar solo is played.〔 Authors Ken Bielen and Ben Urish interpret this solo as a continuation of the plea for forgiveness.〔 The solo ends abruptly, which Bielen and Urish suggest that this abrupt ending symbolically means that Lennon's plea has been rejected.〔 And in fact, by the time "Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)" was released, Lennon and Ono had separated.〔 Author John Blaney notes agrees that the song implies that Lennon will not get the forgiveness and comfort he needs from Ono, and further states that the song reveals just how much he needed her.〔
"Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)" has some similarities to the Beatle's song "I Want You (She's So Heavy)," which was also written by Lennon and inspired by Ono.〔 Bielen and Urish claim that "Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)" has a similar rhythm to "a slowed down, semi-acoustic version" of "I Want You (She's So Heavy)."〔 "I Want You (She's So Heavy)" also ends abruptly.〔
Lennon had been working on the melody to "Aisumasen (I'm Sorry)" since at least 1971.〔〔 A demo of the song was recorded during sessions for Lennon's ''Imagine''. Originally, the melody belonged to song whose working title was "Call My Name.",〔〔 dating from a demo recorded in December 1971.〔 In "Call My Name," Lennon was offering to comfort someone, but in the final version of the song Lennon is the one asking for forgiveness.〔〔 In "Call My Name," the melodic line that became "Aisumasen" was sung to the words "I'll ease your pain."
