諸業無常 — Shogyou Mujou
Government official, white-collar worker, contracts,
temporary employee, part-time job freeter*
The democracy that humans have decided;
what strange person is it for? What's freedom?
In order to survive in this era where people eat people,
let's get wisdom
One by one, attacked by raging waves,
in between of losing myself and overcoming them
Even if I'm not crying or lazing about, I can't find a decent job
Even if I get caught up in temporary employment,
I can't complain since those are the prerequisites for a long term job
Before Japan turns into a caste-system, let's get away
In a system that doesn't let you start over,
the value of work experience over eagerness and motivation
Even though everyone can learn... mmmm
What those above us decide is for their own sakes
They need to have the wits to protect only themselves
Whilst we can't have that way, and work
I live my one life all out, I won't have another one
I don't want to lose everything, taking off is just the beginning
Until I die, it's only one life, so I will get it back
If I don't have anything, I care less
I've decided this beginning
Movin on again & movin on again & movin on to live a good life
Movin on again & movin on again & movin on to hate a bad end
Don't let them kill you, don't let them abuse you
"If you can't find temporary employment,
then if you can find work at a convenient store,
you should work anyway"
So say the housewives who can't see the reality
just like Marie Antoinette
With a surplus of money, today too
those same stingy people keep protecting their own pockets
The consequence is a babylon society, where you're not supposed to know
who's at the top and who's at the bottom
In a system that doesn't let you start over,
the value of work experience over eagerness and motivation
Even though everyone can learn... mmmm
What those above us decide is for their own sakes
They need to have the wits to protect only themselves
Whilst we can't have that way, and work
I live my one life all out, I won't have another one
I don't want to lose everything, taking off is just the beginning
Until I die, it's only one life, so I will get it back
If I don't have anything, I care less
I've decided this beginning
I live my one life all out, I won't have another one
I don't want to lose everything, taking off is just the beginning
Until I die, it's only one life, so I will get it back
If I don't have anything, I care less
I've decided this beginning
(We just) Movin on again & movin on again & movin on to live a good life
Movin on again & movin on again & movin on to hate a bad end
Movin on again & movin on again & movin on to live a good life
Movin on again & movin on again & movin on
*A freeter is a person who lives by just working a part-time job

二人のサイクリング — Futari no SAIKURINGU
After the fog has lifted, the whole outlook looks better
Let's ride on a bicycle to the sea, the two of us
Will we use your bicycle or mine?
What if something unexpected happens? You worry
You're always so worrisome, my darling
If a tire gets punctured in the middle of the way
we should just walk leaning against each other
With two of us, there is only one instead of two, darling
If either of us gets tired, we'll let each other rest
I've been caught, because I want to look at you
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before
We're late, arriving only half way to our designated spot
We're hungry and the sky far is gloomy
You think about going back, and surely soon enough
tell me that going back is probably the smartest thing to do
You're always so worrisome, my darling
If suddenly it starts raining, we should take shelter together
We are pretty lucky, my darling
Just at that moment, we might find a famous soba restaurant
right before our eyes and feet
Because you are so cautious and worrisome, I'm reckless and rash
But the two of us are always such a good "set" because of that
Let's ride on a bicycle to the sea, the two of us
Will we use your bicycle or mine?
What if something unexpected happens? You worry
You're always so worrisome, my darling
If a tire gets punctured in the middle of the way
we should just walk leaning against each other
With two of us, there is only one instead of two, darling
If either of us gets tired, we'll let each other rest
I've been caught, because I want to look at you
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before
We're late, arriving only half way to our designated spot
We're hungry and the sky far is gloomy
You think about going back, and surely soon enough
tell me that going back is probably the smartest thing to do
You're always so worrisome, my darling
If suddenly it starts raining, we should take shelter together
We are pretty lucky, my darling
Just at that moment, we might find a famous soba restaurant
right before our eyes and feet
I've been caught, because I want to look at you
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before
Because you are so cautious and worrisome, I'm reckless and rash
But the two of us are always such a good "set" because of that
A combination of differences is very good,
our bonded souls are like a copy-robot
I can be glad that you are the way you are,
and you can be glad that I am the way I am
I let these burning, overflowing feelings for you ride in the wind
our bonded souls are like a copy-robot
I can be glad that you are the way you are,
and you can be glad that I am the way I am
I let these burning, overflowing feelings for you ride in the wind
I've been caught, because I want to look at you
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before

I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before
I've been caught, because I want to look at you
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before
Higher
I've decided the way, and I can't appear vague about it
Everyone who believes in me - they're surely not wrong
They have spoiled me, who was always complaining
that I can't do it as well as I thought, saying things like
"Ahh, it's okay, you're doing all right" in a regrettable manner
Since I'm living in a place I want to,
I'll try to always face forward
What I chose was "It's definitely possible"
Because everyone thinks so
I'm running to a new place, I don't stop,
I keep seeing my never ending dream
There is nothing I want more than that,
I wanna go higher
If I can always fall asleep with such exhaustion,
maybe one day I can tell myself "glad you could make it", while smiling
Surely nothing will start, if I tell someone
"I am doing my best, so why..."
Myself, who has faith is surely not wrong
Since I'm living in a place I want to,
I'll try to always face forward
What I chose was "It's definitely possible"
Because everyone thinks so
I'm running to a new place, I don't stop,
I keep seeing my never ending dream
There is nothing I want more than that,
I wanna go higher
Applying myself 100% is somehow scary,
What if I do so and still can't win?
So I always run away from fighting even at 70%
The power to chase my disappeared dream has still remained
There are times when I use all my power and things still go wrong
There are times when I do my best and still spend nights all alone
From the moment you open the curtains completely,
try going to the limits, and you will find the correct answer
try going to the limits, and you will find the correct answer

For You
I didn't think of you the same from the start, as I do now
Even though the things we like and our hobbies are different,
whenever we'd meet we'd have a great time together
Even if some time would pass, if we'd meet on a street
we'd forget about time and have so much fun
The things I can't tell anyone, the things I can't show anyone;
I confessed them all to you and no one else
When I was lonely or when I wanted some alone time,
you understood it all without even saying anything
Wanting to say "thank you", and calling you without knowing why
"It's been a while since I heard that voice", thinking that,
I start feeling awkward and anxious, and in the end end up
talking about the same boring things, since it seems like the call will end soon
Because the days that I've spent by your side
always smiling have made me strong
I appreciate your love, I'm glad we've been together this far
The proof of that so much time has passed and that we've become adults,
is the fact that you keep running straight ahead
In the past, I had no clue that there were more important things
than spending time together
Far away when we can't meet, and when I can't hear your voice
I've decided to not whine to you, I promised so
When I want to meet you, when I want something
I will do my best to get through it all, until the day we meet
When I am tired and want to complain to someone,
I unintentionally recall my memories
Before you take off, if I think of that smile of yours that won't be here
I feel so helpless and unable to do anything
I became unable to say "I want to see you"
Because the days that I've spent by your side
always smiling have made me strong
I appreciate your love, I'm glad we've been together this far
Hey~ I wonder if I can see you again
Hey~ I wonder if we can laugh together again
No matter in how much pain I am, tears don't come out
But when I think of you, tears overflow
Since there is no way to say "the truth is, I'm lonely"
I will see you off with a smile

City Caravan
Having walked this far,
and from now on, I am not alone
so there's no problem
I can keep on heading forward
on this long road, because I'm not alone
Searching for people in this desert of a city,
searching for a community, searching for water,
searching for an oasis
We're a caravan that faces the dazzling sun
that shines on us
If the sun has set, let's look up at the sky
Let's move on to a blue campus
using the twinkling stars as a guidepost
So, let's go, we need just a bit longer...
If we fall asleep, let's hold hands
and bring our tired thoughts to tomorrow
The night of a caravan, which won't let the sun die
while it faces and climbs to the smoky sky
If the sun has set, let's look up at the sky
Let's move on to a blue campus
using the twinkling stars as a guidepost
So, let's go, we need just a bit longer...
If we tire, let's rest a bit
If we get thirsty, let's drink something
If we get scared, let's stop and look around
City caravan... where does the wind blow?
City caravan... where is tomorrow facing to?
City caravan... when will we arrive next
to a green oasis?
City caravan... where does the wind blow?
City caravan... where is tomorrow facing to?
City caravan... when will we arrive next
to a green oasis?
Searching for people in this desert of a city,
searching for a community, searching for water,
searching for an oasis
We're a caravan that faces the dazzling sun
that shines on us
Having walked this far,
and from now on, I am not alone
so there's no problem
I can keep on heading forward
on this long road, because I'm not alone
Yes, we are in the city caravan
If the sun has set, let's look up at the sky
Let's move on to a blue campus
using the twinkling stars as a guidepost
So, let's go, we need just a bit longer...
If we tire, let's rest a bit
If we get thirsty, let's drink something
If we get scared, let's stop and look around
City caravan... where does the wind blow?
City caravan... where is tomorrow facing to?
City caravan... when will we arrive next
to a green oasis?
City caravan... where does the wind blow?
City caravan... where is tomorrow facing to?
City caravan... when will we arrive next
to a green oasis?

サンセット — SANSETTO
If I can keep looking at your face like this,
as the sun sets, then surely
this scenery that will never come again,
but which I have spent with you
will get burned into my eyes
When I am happy about something,
you're the first person I send a mail to
I feel like I can fly to the sky,
because you'd always listen to me
and lift the heavy burdens
that are too much for me to carry
Without having to even show it on my face,
when I feel bad you'd say
"I understand, I understand" and nod your head
Spending time with you became a habit
When we are together there is no sorrow
Ah, if time would stop right now,
we'd both still stay the same
But it's fine if we have to jostle with
the rigid flow of time,
let's just stay together
Until the sun sets, like this
I want to watch over the waves
together with you, I always feel like this
Even if next year, and the summers after it
an unchanged future will face us
I remember when you first invited me,
seeming silly as you were so shy
Because we were both alone and oddballs,
you asked me would I like to go out for a tea or something
Feeling relieved that I'm not alone,
I was proud and wanted to keep you to myself more than before
If I had not met you, my life would've been very different now
For example, if I'd go to this sea alone
I'd watch the sea, in the end would just waste my time
I'd take a picture and probably go back home
The surfer who seems pretty unskilled, and
the children stained with sand - they all seem
so lively and interesting because you are here with me
Ah, if time would stop right now,
we'd both still stay the same
But it's fine if we have to jostle with
the rigid flow of time,
let's just stay together
If I can keep looking at your face like this,
as the sun sets, then surely
this scenery that will never come again,
but which I have spent with you
will get burned into my eyes
Until the sun sets, like this
I want to watch over the waves
together with you, I always feel like this
Even if next year, and the summers after it
an unchanged future will face us

BELLE EPOQUE feat.Diggy-Mo'
So you passed the red line and ended up in a Crash So What ? !
Tha point is, it should be like that but than Again maybe not
This is just a smile of things as a whole
Don't mean to be testin' your senses
But you know what I'm gettin' at
Just long as you know let's go
FLY AWAY OR DIE THIS WAY ?? !
FLY AWAY OR DIE THIS WAY ?? !
What we do is just a kind of playing
It's like a passion of a golden bead
Whilst holding it,
I thought I want to be able to
stop and shine just like you
Today too, I can't laugh at and change
anything that comes into a song
Wicked, wicked, wicked, sometimes picky
Diggy Diggy Diggy-dad who came in person
I'm ready, leaning against Diggy's brat
who appeared in front of my eyes
Let's make a hot shit, since we can't do much else
This sound was brought by ONE SCENE
This song is gonna be our connection
When I feel down, I listen to...
When I stand up and fix it, I grow
Let's turn the reality we keep avoiding
into a sound and play in it
It's like my therapyst
Because I want to become stronger, I'll listen
"Let's do it again", if I think that, I can even fly
in this sky
Fly away or die this way? We don't intend to stop
More than people who say these things, we are resilient
Fly away or die this way? It seems like it's been decided
We are the blue birds who will fly as they are
A-yo! Sup! This pluck that is etched for eternity
Without a care, Tuff freedom confusion, but I know my stuff
Hot! First I will turn on these legs immediately
The plot that was revealed will fall apart like dominos
Without interruption, my shocking instincts will win hard
Rough just like a young incendiary brat
I have no interest in common bluffs
I want to focus today, just don't stop
NEO, BELLE EPOQUE Yo, lecca take it back
Dream maker of a scene, that's right, a rare crazy'p
My emotional speaker blas, blasting it out
I make it, make it MAD
Myself who cannot be convinced to dance,
has made myself dance all alone
My faith can't be warped, so let me hear you say
NEO, BELLE EPOQUE everybody take it back
We are dream makers, yes, make it, make it MAD
Hey! Throw away this pointless stress, just gotta be flexible
We don't need a safe style with pretentious statements
so let's turn up the action
Hey! Follow me my fellow, even if something surprising happens
Let's be dumb honest
Livin' your dream will mean everythin' hell ya c'mon!
Fly away or die this way? We don't intend to stop
More than people who say these things, we are resilient
Fly away or die this way? It seems like it's been decided
We are the blue birds who will fly as they are
I can't see the answer at all, deep deep world
The tangled thread doesn't know the future, deep deep world
Our stiff bodies are not going to be like this forever, deep deep world
After we rise no one will know anymore, deep deep world
Fly away or die this way? We don't intend to stop
More than people who say these things, we are resilient
Fly away or die this way? It seems like it's been decided
We are the blue birds who will fly as they are
My life as a messenger wow wow
I will tell you about things that I've received
So please accept it
Selling well imperfectly, jumpin' and raging
Inside a function, let's learn the junction together
Tha point is, it should be like that but than Again maybe not
This is just a smile of things as a whole
Don't mean to be testin' your senses
But you know what I'm gettin' at
Just long as you know let's go
FLY AWAY OR DIE THIS WAY ?? !
FLY AWAY OR DIE THIS WAY ?? !

時の中で — Toki no Naka de
Tell me why were you here
like a moonless shining light?
Is it alright if I'm like this,
head filled with anxiety that doesn't disappear?
If I ask you this, you make me laugh everything away
At that time, I promised to myself that I always want to
protect that smile of yours
In this huge world, the time doesn't stop
Why have we met? If just one thing was off,
we would not have been able to meet at all
I'm sure you don't notice,
the album that's always in my heart
If you can, please do your best just for a while longer
You have such an innocent smile when you can
We started thinking that everything is meaningless,
we faced each other during the evenings and ate together
If possible, I want you to become happy
Even so, I want you to stay by my side, since I will protect you
In this huge world, the time doesn't stop
Why have we met? If just one thing was off,
we would not have been able to meet at all
The mornings when I shut myself in my room,
when I was bored and cried
You knocked on my door, bringing hot cocoa
and told me it's ok to cry, but to please open the door
In this huge world, the time doesn't stop
Why have we met? If just one thing was off,
we would not have been able to meet at all
I will surely always run, so you can continue smiling
I pray for this
Knowing that I'm not alone has nurtured my weak heart
so much that it feels like I can fly, ever since I met you I'm in love
There is no end to this world, I'm sure that if even one thing was off
we'd have never met
From now on, I'll never forget just how happy I was that I met you
In this huge world, the time doesn't stop
Why have we met? If just one thing was off,
we would not have been able to meet at all
like a moonless shining light?
Is it alright if I'm like this,
head filled with anxiety that doesn't disappear?
If I ask you this, you make me laugh everything away
At that time, I promised to myself that I always want to
protect that smile of yours
In this huge world, the time doesn't stop
Why have we met? If just one thing was off,
we would not have been able to meet at all
I'm sure you don't notice,
the album that's always in my heart
If you can, please do your best just for a while longer
You have such an innocent smile when you can
We started thinking that everything is meaningless,
we faced each other during the evenings and ate together
If possible, I want you to become happy
Even so, I want you to stay by my side, since I will protect you
In this huge world, the time doesn't stop
Why have we met? If just one thing was off,
we would not have been able to meet at all
The mornings when I shut myself in my room,

and told me it's ok to cry, but to please open the door

so much that it feels like I can fly, ever since I met you I'm in love
There is no end to this world, I'm sure that if even one thing was off
we'd have never met
From now on, I'll never forget just how happy I was that I met you
In this huge world, the time doesn't stop
Why have we met? If just one thing was off,
we would not have been able to meet at all
家路 終 〜 City Caravan III — Ieji Owari 〜 City Caravan III
While I was returning home, I thought
Everyone smiled at me today
I've accepted all of the advices and warnings
for achieving my dreams, from others
If I don't try to open it, it feels like it can't open
so I kept trying to open it
Because it's not so visible, I felt like I'd forget it
so I kept walking about
I'll tell you about today when I arrive home
I'll inform you that it was a good day
Oh, my sweet home... Oh... my sweet home
Because it's all right, soon I'll go
I will return to that familiar place,
since I've become a bit tired here
I'll tell you about today when I arrive home
I'll inform you that it was a good day
Oh, my sweet home... Oh... my sweet home
Let's return home, caravan
Now, we still can see the road
It's ok to continue
moving forward tomorrow
Let's return home, caravan
Tonight, let's rest our bodies
We can start to move again tomorrow
Everyone smiled at me today
I've accepted all of the advices and warnings
for achieving my dreams, from others
If I don't try to open it, it feels like it can't open
so I kept trying to open it
Because it's not so visible, I felt like I'd forget it
so I kept walking about
I'll tell you about today when I arrive home
I'll inform you that it was a good day
Oh, my sweet home... Oh... my sweet home
Because it's all right, soon I'll go
I will return to that familiar place,
since I've become a bit tired here
I'll tell you about today when I arrive home
I'll inform you that it was a good day
Oh, my sweet home... Oh... my sweet home
Let's return home, caravan
Now, we still can see the road
It's ok to continue
moving forward tomorrow
Let's return home, caravan
Tonight, let's rest our bodies
We can start to move again tomorrow
