I wish

Do you remember the day we first met?
In the space between us which neither of us closed
with a curiosity that was appearing and disappearing,
in that noisy place, when I felt that for a while it's ok to be alone
thank you for telling me it's ok not to have to endure that pretense
If we're together, even if it's painful or sad,
if we share our baggage together, we can walk on
Is it okay, if I stay by your side? Is it okay if I hold your hands?
Don't say "just a little bit more"
If we can, I want to hold hands until the very last moment

Even if we met at last, do you intend to distance yourself?
Will you pretend that you don't notice, to your irreplaceable person?
I will make you laugh like no one did until now, trust me, baby

Because I think that I'm glad I met you,
it's ok if it's a bit painful, because
like this I can stay with you
I wish so, I wish so baby
If you will be by my side,
I will keep searching for that time we met
I wish you, I wish you be here

Lining our gazes that look out at the same scenery,
I'm happy that there is a face of the same person
From now on, please take care of me
I am proud that I can say those words
I just wanna say, thank you... baby

Do you remember our first call?
We couldn't find words, all awkwardly
But in the midst of a personal discussion,
I felt flushed and hesitated, saying
"It's ok to just be friends"
Thank you for making me realize,
that there's no need to waste more time
Sometimes when I'm with you, it's harder
than just being by myself but
this surely is my life
So at this point, is it okay if I return?
Is it okay if we sleep next to each other?
Don't say "It's okay as it is now"
If we can, I want it to happen today and tomorrow

Even if we met at last, do you intend to distance yourself?
Will you pretend that you don't notice, to your irreplaceable person?
I will make you laugh like no one did until now, trust me, baby

Because I think that I'm glad I met you,
it's ok if it's a bit painful, because
like this I can stay with you
I wish so, I wish so baby
If you will be by my side,
I will keep searching for that time we met
I wish you, I wish you be here

Lining our gazes that look out at the same scenery,
I'm happy that there is a face of the same person
From now on, please take care of me
I am proud that I can say those words
I just wanna say, thank you... baby

I think of you, night comes
I embrace you, morning comes
I hold hands with you, I become an adult
After fighting, I just want to see you
I want to be by your side,
fall asleep until I forget everything
At least hold me now,
and never let go

ぽか～ん — Poka~n

When I look around this wide world,
My efforts seem lacking
At this rate, I won't be able to go anywhere
Simply hurrying becomes my habit
The mini calendar I bought,
I wrote in it everything I want to do,
without leaving empty spaces
Every time I would find an empty space,
I would cram more things I could still do
But, people are people, and I am me
Even if I understand someone else's way of doing things,
even if I copy them, it's not as if I'll obtain something
So, instead of all this, today I will return to my empty schedule
I'm even going to ignore my phone

In my break from work, I rest my body
I open up the magazine that was next to me
I string up the antenna
the work I do for someone else,
and the studying I do for myself,
just for today, I'll rest from it all

Today, I won't do anything, under a darkened sky
Doing nothing... Doing nothing...
Today, I won't do anything
I will leave the tasks that have piled behind
Doing nothing... until the sun of tomorrow's morning rises

When I started up my computer for no reason,
while gazing at the screen, I ended up on my friend's blog
In front of my eyes, I saw just how much she was working hard
Somehow I already feel tired and like nothing goes well
Before I let myself cry, I noticed that I started to feel relieved
That's right, people are people, and I am me
Even if I understand the feelings of hurrying,
my personal experiences are different from that girl's
If that's so, today I will forget everything and do as I please
while all the fun things come to my mind

On my way home, in a rocking train
I turn the pages of text I don't even want to see
The truth is, while holding back my yawn,
the work I do for someone else,
and the studying I do for myself,
just for today, I'll rest from it all

Today, I won't do anything, under a darkened sky
Doing nothing... Doing nothing...
Today, I won't do anything
I will leave the tasks that have piled behind
Doing nothing... until the sun of tomorrow's morning rises

From Monday to Friday, working non stop
From Saturday to Sunday, lessons
Every day after work I take my free time
and do social gatherings with everyone
Since I feel that I'm all alone
Right away, in order to polish myself for tomorrow
I will open my notebook and write
"A day for doing nothing"

It's ok to not do anything
If you choose only the things you want to do,
you will feel a lot better
It's all right not to go anywhere,
if you're in a place where you want to be,
there is no need to run

Today, I won't do anything, under a darkened sky
Doing nothing... Doing nothing...
Today, I won't do anything
I will leave the tasks that have piled behind
Doing nothing... until the sun of tomorrow's morning rises

蝶々 — Chouchou

When I first was in love with you, I had nothing
I was wandering, not even knowing
what to aim for or what I wanted
You faced me who was like this entirely,
talked to me on the phone in the middle of the night
You forgave my way of doing whatever I please
But even so, I lost you
No matter what anyone says,
the time I spent with you was the best in my life,
it was like a miracle,
but I only realized that after we separated
I knew that an ending existed,
but I didn't know it will be this sudden
I thought that, again today or tomorrow,
if I go there, I can see you

I suddenly heard rumors from others
Your way of always going forward, and being honest
Even if I don't look, it appears in my mind
Because I was watching you more than anyone else
Oh baby

Tell me what I should have done,
please tell me
Where was the road that separated us?
Even thought we walked together
I won't say "let's go back"
I won't chase after you, at this late point
I just only want to say one thing

You wanted to fly in the sky,
and you showed me how to do it
Thank you, for making me love
my body that I used to hate
The things you freely shared with me,
one day I will return them to you even bigger
When that time comes, please
hold out both of your arms, and turn to me
I suddenly heard rumors from others
Your way of always going forward, and being honest
Even if I don't look, it appears in my mind
Because I was watching you more than anyone else
Oh baby

Tell me what I should have done,
please tell me
Where was the road that separated us?
Even thought we walked together
I won't say "let's go back"
I won't chase after you, at this late point
I just only want to say one thing

I love you, even now
But I have to go on
But even so, if this wish can come true
If I can deliver these feelings to the sky
I still support you, if you call me
I'll run straight to you
Some day, without laughing, nod
That we are as always close friends

Tell me what I should have done,
please tell me
Where was the road that separated us?
Even thought we walked together
I won't say "let's go back"
I won't chase after you, at this late point
I just only want to say one thing

Thank you, that I walked with you
will be treasured in my heart from now on
At painful times, at sad times, at hard times
at times when I'm broken, softly
I'll open the box, and remember

おたくgirlsの宴 — Otaku girls no Utage

If you're going to do things that other girls cannot,
there is also something else that you will have to sacrifice

We're going very far, be prepared
First, let's open a banquet for
the enthusiast girls who have come so far
Together, let's aim over to that side

When I got the awareness
of what's going on around me
I was ignoring everything others did
and was all alone
There is no use to pay heed
to the adults and children
who judge by appearances
But I'll show the not so distant future
to everybody
I am organizing this world
There is no use in a bird that can't fly
If there is no talent, there is no future
If I don't hone it, it won't shine
There is nothing that scares me

I want to persist with this, if I decided so
I can then continue
I can become more of a maniac,
for that sake the effort is not unpleasant
I surely can persist, because I decided so
I can do my best
I'm unique, so I can be alone
I will not regret anything

O.T.A. Girls...  O.T.A. Girls...

We're going very far, be prepared
First, let's open a banquet for
the enthusiast girls who have come so far
Together, let's aim over to that side

I won't give up neither the quality or the amount
Rather than only one, I'm a strong number one
If you doubt it, then try testing it
my newly cultivated way of doing things

I want to persist with this, if I decided so
I can then continue
I can become more of a maniac,
for that sake the effort is not unpleasant
I surely can persist, because I decided so
I can do my best
I'm unique, so I can be alone
I will not regret anything

If we are to outwit them, on the top of that hill
From now on, with fun along the way, let's do it!

We're going very far, be prepared
First, let's open a banquet for
the enthusiast girls who have come so far
Together, let's aim over to that side

Home party feat. TSUGUMI from SOULHEAD

A party that doesn't end until morning
If there is not enough alcohol, I'll hurry to buy it
Unstoppable talk, about it, about it
This is the best relaxing, can't go without it
Tell me, tell me what happened with your man
The days change, but our faces stays the same
I know one thing that will never change
Forever, we gon stay the same

One day I got a mail from my lady, Miss TSUGUMI
and she says we should have a home party at her place
Watch out ladies & gentlemen, this night will be very very special
Step up!

A home party that starts at midnight
Let's have fun like in those days
There is no one who's saying cold things
It's as if he or she can't come through that door
Just us till morning, till the bus comes to get me
Everybody is grooving in da house

I received a mail from that girl, after a long time
"this week, what day is least busy for you?"
Which reminds me, can we be loud in this room?
Let's make a girl talk party
Just like the sleepovers we did a long time ago,
we'll bring sweets, and get together in someone's room,
and talk until we start feeling sleepy in the morning

The champagne that that girl brought,
the smell of the room is always that of chandan*
I'll lend you my guest shorts
Before we notice, the ashtray is full
Going on, still going on, still
We'll just keep packing on

Let's have a home party, we haven't had one in a while
It's certain that this room is the most exciting one in the world
Because we rarely get together in this number, let's fool around

Let's make it drip, hey, we can still drink alcohol
As we are moderately drunk, hey, who will start
talking about their story until now?
The youthful vitality we had in our teens,
I for sure, want to make a statement
"At that time we were certainly young,
but even so what we do hasn't changed"

The champagne that that girl brought,
the smell of the room is always that of chandan
I'll lend you my guest shorts
Before we notice, the ashtray is full
Going on, still going on, still
We'll just keep packing on

A party that doesn't end until morning
If there is not enough alcohol, I'll hurry to buy it
Unstoppable talk, about it, about it
This is the best relaxing, can't go without it
Tell me, tell me what happened with your man
The days change, but our faces stays the same
I know one thing that will never change
Forever, we gon stay the same

The mic relay that has only begun
so, whose turn is next to say?
Hey DJ, put more noisy BGM on
In the middle of a sleeping city,
only this room is in the middle of a noon
From when we started talking it's been already 7 hours
We are chillin' at the house all night long!

Even if we're adults, unchanged we are house-lover
We can go anywhere, if we have this time
home party
all nighty

Night grows older
Everyone is making merry
The room is in a mess
The party continues

Let's have a home party, we haven't had one in a while
It's certain that this room is the most exciting one in the world
Because we rarely get together in this number, let's fool around

A party that doesn't end until morning
If there is not enough alcohol, I'll hurry to buy it
Unstoppable talk, about it, about it
This is the best relaxing, can't go without it
Tell me, tell me what happened with your man
The days change, but our faces stays the same
I know one thing that will never change
Forever, we gon stay the same


*Chandan is a Sanskrit name for Indian sandalwood

呼んでマイネーム — Yonde MAI NEEMU

Say my name, say my name, please somebody
Say my name, say my name, like you're lovin' me
Say my name, say my name, please somebody
Say my name, say my name

Say my name, say only my name
I know it's an unreasonable request, but
say my name, say only my name
If we're dating, then just forgive me this much

At the street corner where we walk,
I get distracted by noticing your gaze
which was on a cute girl
Are you already fed up with me?
There is no way that's true
I realized that it's unlike you
If you're there, it's so bright
To the point where it's strange, my world is right
Without you all day is night
All alone I can see no sight

Don't call another girl, you got a precious girl
No other can be born with this
Please say my name, boy, what I want is you, boy
If it's a story that ends with someone else...

Say my name, say only my name
I know it's an unreasonable request, but
say my name, say only my name
If we're dating, then just forgive me this much

Say my name, say my name, please somebody
Say my name, say my name, like you're lovin' me
Say my name, say my name, please somebody
Say my name, say my name

There is no way, that there are many people
in this wide world, who can say my name this way
What do I want after? There is no such a thing
Tomorrow too, say my name the same way
If we're together, it's so bright
At this point, I want to be swayed by light
All alone, all day is night
I have to ask this, I cannot just be strong

Don't call another girl, you got a precious girl
No other can be born with this
Please say my name, boy, what I want is you, boy
If it's a story that ends with someone else...

Say my name, say only my name
I know it's an unreasonable request, but
say my name, say only my name
If we're dating, then just forgive me this much

Even if there is only us in the world,
even if there is really no need to do it on purpose,
always say my name, say it more strongly than anyone
"I want no more name by your mouth"
but I want to listen to my name more

Say my name, say only my name
I know it's an unreasonable request, but
say my name, say only my name
If we're dating, then just forgive me this much

Say my name, say my name, please somebody
Say my name, say my name, like you're lovin' me
Say my name, say my name, please somebody
Say my name, say my name

F.A.F

Tonight we are eating dinner together,

it's a promise from a while ago

I've occasionally heard about

the atmosphere of your usual drinking place

Since I know, I cannot overlook it

Hurriedly, tonight, open up the "summit",

if there are things you want to say, please

I'll listen as far as to your heart's content

Ah, if possible, because it's with me today

don't draw together the wrinkles on your brow

I want to be your drinking buddy, but

as soon as I ask "which one?",

it's me who is being judged

"Who the hell is this idiot, tonight?"

I know that they think this

There's a cheerful love song playing,

we're staring at each other in our seats

We sometimes receive pitiful glances from others

Even if I hold my head down and say I'm sorry,

even if I promise I won't do it anymore

Please forgive me, who cannot take it back anymore

When I fuss & fight with you, oh boy

Even if there are no worse feelings than this,

again I fuss & fight with you

The whole air around us freezes

Fuss & fight with you, oh boy

So much that I end up hating you, whom I love

It won't end, this fuss & fight with you

The inside of my heart freezes

It always begins with a small thing

With one casual conversation

Even if I feel no ill feelings toward her,

I don't want to know about places you went with your ex

Ah, even if I should truthfully be saying "thank you" to you,

why does it always become like this?

There's a cheerful love song playing,

we're staring at each other in our seats

We sometimes receive pitiful glances from others

Even if I hold my head down and say I'm sorry,

even if I promise I won't do it anymore

Please forgive me, who cannot take it back anymore

When I fuss & fight with you, oh boy

Even if there are no worse feelings than this,

again I fuss & fight with you

The whole air around us freezes

Fuss & fight with you, oh boy

So much that I end up hating you, whom I love

It won't end, this fuss & fight with you

The inside of my heart freezes

The more we say, the more we end up in trouble

The more I hear, the more I doubt what I hear

Before I know it, the face in front of me changes

into a stranger who I don't know

Will I say "I can't do this anymore", and give up?

I cannot do that, because I want to hold your hands

from now on, always and always

Even if I have these feelings, I know I only want you

Why do I remember everything you did for me,

when I cannot be honest?

I remember gifts that you brought me

The toothbrush and the mug cup,

the funny DVD when I was sad

and also the fake smile you'd do 

whenever you'd see my friend,

which I could never get used to

When I fuss & fight with you, oh boy

Even if there are no worse feelings than this,

again I fuss & fight with you

The whole air around us freezes

Fuss & fight with you, oh boy

So much that I end up hating you, whom I love

It won't end, this fuss & fight with you

The inside of my heart freezes

ペイデイ! — PEIDEI!

Since how many days have I been counting?
I created lists, what else do I want to do?
What will I do as my reward?
My imagination makes me excited
Speaking of which, this month
I really should get paid, for sure
Rustling on and about, I have it!
There is another delay in payment, oh my god
I do some calculations, just to make sure
Oh! My balance is pretty small, oh no no
It seems like I have to wait until another payday
I'll go and buy only the things that can't wait today

Because for the sake of this day,
I shed sweat every day
I overcome every difficult situation
that might arise
I'm being bossed about by the higher-ups,
who are really not that important
Even if I am in a little bit of an uncool position
If I only think about this day...!

This long awaited day,
I'll get all the things I want
I'll go to the places I want to go,
because it's my payday!
Due to my high spirits, I spend too much
I won't regret it after,
I simply don't mind,
enjoy my payday!

It's a payday, I can buy what I want
Favorite CD, records and books,
The gift that I wanted to give you
They all get in my hands, it's a payday
Payday, I can do what I want
Watching the movie I wanted to watch,
going to a baseball game,
the Italian restaurant we've decided to go to
Oh happy payday!

If it's my payday, then it's society's payday as well
I stop by an ATM, and line up behind ladies and gentlemen
Ah, this is a waiting time for happiness
I want to see you, at least today,
just like an unexpected meeting
Whilst watching the glittering nightscape
let's share a cliched love talk
But if I spend everything today,
the next month will be painful, oh no no
That's why, sorry, after all it's gonna be
just like every other day

Because for the sake of this day,
I shed sweat every day
I overcome every difficult situation
that might arise
I'm being bossed about by the higher-ups,
who are really not that important
Even if I am in a little bit of an uncool position
If I only think about this day...!

This long awaited day,
I'll get all the things I want
I'll go to the places I want to go,
because it's my payday!
Due to my high spirits, I spend too much
I won't regret it after,
I simply don't mind,
enjoy my payday!

My hopes were entirely raised;
The thing I ended up doing was,
like always, going with my friends to Izakaya*
If we'll go somewhere after, it'll be to places like a club
But it's fine like that,
We'll pick up and leave luxury on our way
It's good just with this today,
there are enough festivities, because
today is a payday!

This long awaited day,

I'll get all the things I want

I'll go to the places I want to go,

because it's my payday!

Due to my high spirits, I spend too much

I won't regret it after,

I simply don't mind,

enjoy my payday!

It's a payday, I can buy what I want

Favorite CD, records and books,

The gift that I wanted to give you

They all get in my hands, it's a payday

Payday, I can do what I want

Watching the movie I wanted to watch,

going to a baseball game,

the Italian restaurant we've decided to go to

Oh happy payday!

*An izakaya is a type of Japanese drinking establishment which also serves food to accompany the drinks. They are casual places for after-work drinking.

a～i！

Before I noticed it, everyone my age hurries on,
as I watch their backs
My close friend is already a mother,
the guy who was my first love is a father
And that girl who I thought was a slowpoke,
before I knew it, became an executive
Even at the best of times I become anxious,
people younger than me appeared,
and I stopped thinking things like
"What are your years of service?"
But since everyone worries about the same stuff,
I won't let it bother me anymore

"People are people, I am myself"
Even as I say this, sometimes
I fall to where I fall, but
I rise up again

a~i! If we go like this,
Alright!
There are no problems,
and if that's so,
I want to live proudly

In this wide world,
another idiot like me probably doesn't exist
But even if there are few of them,
and even if I never meet them,
there are probably three or four similar people, right?
If I think like that, I feel better
It feels like I'm not alone
If that's so, soon let's go forward
When we can, let's go fast
But there is no need to hurry,
you should walk at your own pace,
step by step

"People are people, I am myself"
Even as I say this, sometimes
I fall to where I fall, but
I rise up again

a~i! If we go like this,
Alright!
There are no problems,
and if that's so,
I want to live proudly

If it suits me, I might one day write an autobiography
At that time, this present will also be past
I will be able to put all painful memories in a frame
Rather than doing those experiences, forever
I want to make flowers bloom with my drunken stories
Rolling about, I can make friends
Even if I hurry, it's a red light
Will it be green soon?
My luggage is heavy and, ah, I'm so tired
If I think like this, I can stop feeling irritated just by one sentence
"It's okay, there is no problem"
Hey, try to mutter this to yourself

a~i! If we go like this,
Alright!
There are no problems,
and if that's so,
I want to live proudly

a~i! At painful times too,
Alright!
There is nothing but problems,
even so let's do our best persistently

スタートライン — SUTAATORAIN

You still don't see it,
the brand new world that opens up
on the other side of the sky
You're making a face as if you've seen
the entire world already and are crying alone
Instead of praying, if I jump out in front of me
a whole new world also jumps at me before my eyes
I don't need any belongings, just my body

The day of failure that I couldn't tell about to anyone,
maybe it's time to give up in this place?
My friends and everyone are moving on,
it's just me alone in this place
It feels like I've been left behind
My heart closes before my eyes
Instead of crying that it's so painful,
maybe it's better if I lost everything
But looking back at my own everyday,
it brought me to places I never thought it would
Even if that is not such an amazing thing,
I cannot erase those tears either

You don't know the future, and I don't know it either
Because no one knows it, you can't give in to anxiety
You don't know the future, and I don't know it either
That's why I do all the things that come into my mind

You still don't see it,
the brand new world that opens up
on the other side of the sky
You're making a face as if you've seen
the entire world already and are crying alone
Instead of praying, if I jump out in front of me
a whole new world also jumps at me before my eyes
I don't need any belongings, just my body

Because an answer is still not there;
at this rate I'll keep running
Because you cannot erase that memory,
look forward, you gotta go on
At the time when a cloud appears far away,
you will surely see a start line

There is still no sprout on my road,
now its roots are forming underground
"There are many roads to take besides this one"
my mama was complaining, but
it became more fun than anything,
to the point that I got absorbed in it
This is surely my road to live on
Ah, I'm glad I've finally done it
After there is no regretting it
Someday when I look back on it,
those days when I didn't even care about other's judgement
have brought me to the place where I am today
Even if that is not as much fun as I thought,
I don't want to make those every-days like they didn't exist

You don't know the future, and I don't know it either
Because no one knows it, you can't give in to anxiety
You don't know the future, and I don't know it either
That's why I do all the things that come into my mind

You still don't see it,
the brand new world that opens up
on the other side of the sky
You're making a face as if you've seen
the entire world already and are crying alone
Instead of praying, if I jump out in front of me
a whole new world also jumps at me before my eyes
I don't need any belongings, just my body

Because an answer is still not there;
at this rate I'll keep running
Because you cannot erase that memory,
look forward, you gotta go on
At the time when a cloud appears far away,
you will surely see a start line

Rather than giving up, move on
say it out loud that you are not afraid
Take a step forward, as if to ascertain
If you fall once, that is a story that happens all the time
If you fall twice or thrice, if you continue you'll see that it's not the end

Because an answer is still not there;
at this rate I'll keep running
Because you cannot erase that memory,
look forward, you gotta go on
At the time when a cloud appears far away,
you will surely see a start line

Because an answer is still not there;
at this rate I'll keep running
Because you cannot erase that memory,
look forward, you gotta go on
At the time when a cloud appears far away,
you will surely see a start line

You still don't see it,
the brand new world that opens up
on the other side of the sky
You're making a face as if you've seen
the entire world already and are crying alone
Instead of praying, if I jump out in front of me
a whole new world also jumps at me before my eyes
I don't need any belongings, just my body

Outsider

If you're an outsider, then just like that - as an outsider,
even if you're there alone, crying and feeling anxious,
someday people will follow you
If people keep asking who am I,
surely I won't regret it, someday when I look back

No matter what you do,
everything requires a degree,
such is the society
But I oppose the existence of such form,
this age which we hurry in is new
The impatient feeling - let it go
Go up in your own way of doing things
Push down your impatience, take it slow,
make you strong, disciplines you

Am I strange? There is no place for me here
Don't conclude on just one changed thing
I'm getting stuck in only my growing story
I want even the insiders to understand it

When I look around, my friends and everyone is on that side
The guy who I was in love with is not here either
My dearest mama and papa who have raised me,
I wonder if one day they will smile and approve of me

If you're an outsider, then just like that - as an outsider,
even if you're there alone, crying and feeling anxious,
someday people will follow you
If people keep asking who am I,
surely I won't regret it, someday when I look back

Yes, I'm (an) outsider,
wanna make them upside down
An outsider who sticks out,
wanna make things inside out
Because I'm disconnected from the mainstream,
there are no rules that tie me down
I can become a bit stronger from the times I cried

I don't fit in over there,
but over here I don't take on their colors
who am I? I'm at a threshold
I don't want to attach names to myself,
because it can't be helped; I'm a new type
A new road opens, my life
Until my life ends, forever
I will fight at night like an outsider

Am I strange? There is no place for me here
Don't conclude on just one changed thing
I'm getting stuck in only my growing story
I want even the insiders to understand it

When I look around, my friends and everyone is on that side
The guy who I was in love with is not here either
My dearest mama and papa who have raised me,
I wonder if one day they will smile and approve of me

If you're an outsider, then just like that - as an outsider,
even if you're there alone, crying and feeling anxious,
someday people will follow you
If people keep asking who am I,
surely I won't regret it, someday when I look back

Yes, I'm (an) outsider,
wanna make them upside down
An outsider who sticks out,
wanna make things inside out
Because I'm disconnected from the mainstream,
there are no rules that tie me down
I can become a bit stronger from the times I cried

朝のまえ — Asa no Mae

Love myself
I hold and hug my shoulders that keep me moving
From time to time, let's praise ourselves for our hard work
Just one myself,
Don't adorn me, who has been challenged
instead encourage me
Let's go outside to bathe in morning's light

It's the darkest before the dawn,
nobody can knock you down
Let's keep going for the sake of a shining morning
Darkest before the dawn,
everybody can be a big bawm
Let's grasp the dreams we have imagined in our hearts,
without fear

In the actions of a same every day
the things that I've repeated become automatic
The happiness I aim for is ordinary
With a busy head, I'm just waiting for that day
In the enveloping exhaust smoke,
sometimes I choke in it
while I look at the darkening sun
Breathe in, breathe out
Alone, I take a deep breath
I'm still just in the middle of a journey
How many times did I carry on without stopping?
How many times I had the courage to stand up?
I fill my tank, and face towards the morning
An athlete who prays for fulfillment of a vow
Sometimes, bad things happen too
That is just a slump that happens to everyone
Crying is sad, laughing is fun,
and after just a bit longer, the spring will come

Just a little bit before dawn breaks,
under a particularly darkened sky,
let's not give up, just a bit longer
even if it doesn't bring light immediately,
until sunrise
Until the day when we will face the wind from the horizon,
is just a little bit longer
So, it's the darkest before the dawn

Darkest before the dawn,
nobody can knock you down
Let's keep going for the sake of a shining morning
Darkest before the dawn,
everybody can be a big bawm
Let's grasp the dreams we have imagined in our hearts,
without fear

I wonder when the flowers will bloom,
I wonder if I'd be anxious if I was alone
I wonder if I should wait, until light shines
before the darkest dawn
Really soon the dawn will break, and sun will shine
It will clear our field of vision, and open a door
While hearing the sounds of the world outside
to my anticipation, I've learned the feelings of
being hastened, and wondering "will it be soon?"
I'm measuring myself only by my naked weakness
I've lived up to now without crying or soaring
I started to believe that someday I will fly really high
That I was smiling without crying,
the proof are my worn-out tools
and my shoes which have a hole in them,
smears and tears

This is how we've waited for seasons every day
Tomorrow, too, I have a feeling it will be a good day
If I entrust my weak self
Stepping firmly on ground,
enjoying the seasons from time to time
From the trees, flowers and birds
I receive a lot of courage in my chest

Just a little bit before dawn breaks,
under a particularly darkened sky,
let's not give up, just a bit longer
even if it doesn't bring light immediately,
until sunrise
Until the day when we will face the wind from the horizon,
is just a little bit longer
So, it's the darkest before the dawn

Darkest before the dawn,
nobody can knock you down
Let's keep going for the sake of a shining morning
Darkest before the dawn,
everybody can be a big bawm
Let's grasp the dreams we have imagined in our hearts,
without fear

雨のち晴れ — Ame Nochi Hare

Walking along a road, I stumble upon a rock
when I stop, I rest my back
I thought I was in love,
but the feeling disappeared just like a bubble
If I look by my side, everyone hurries
without even looking aside
They think they will have a late start
but the reality is that it doesn't make much of a difference

It's not limited to "it will always go well"
But it's also not limited to "it will always go wrong"
Before the light of tomorrow,
we are enveloped in night's darkness
That girl who was laughing, let out a few tears secretly
While praying, she believed that
happiness is received one at a time

I know, I know, I know the beauty of the world
Going through ups and downs, what a special life
I know, after rain, sun will shine
Surely tomorrow after rain, it will be sunny

I don't think that I can live alone
But I also can't think that I'm not alone
More than anything else, I want to be told
I'm important to someone
Everyone keeps hurrying on
From time to time, looking back
In order to remember the things they've forgotten
they close their eyes

Because I don't want to feel pain,
I distanced a lot of things
At any rate, I feel like it's bad
What became easier also became emptier
I thought I didn't know whether
people's opinions or my own feelings
were more important,
that was a pretty serious wound

Just like usual, summer comes
dancing with the wind, and being covered with sand
Keeping my own scenery just to myself
In the frame is also your face
I know, after rain, sun will shin
Thank you for being by my side, as always

It's as usual, we're facing forward
Kick away timidness all until the horizon
If you hang your head, it's a loss
you shouldn't give up
I want to keep laughing, that's my only reason
If I was born, I will live
If I'm stepped on, I'll get up
If I tire, I will rest
If I want to cry, I'll cry
What I want to grasp are my dreams,
and keep going forward without being lost
keep on, looking for the sun

Just like usual, summer comes
dancing with the wind, and being covered with sand
Keeping my own scenery just to myself
In the frame is also your face
I know, after rain, sun will shin
Thank you for being by my side, as always

I know, I know, I know the beauty of the world
Going through ups and downs, what a special life
I know, after rain, sun will shine
Surely tomorrow after rain, it will be sunny

Let's begin

Let's begin
A girl like me can't compromise
I don't think it's good just like this
Even if they point fingers at me
I'm not afraid and am going my way
A girl like me don't wanna cry
I have no intentions of being a parasite
Depend on me, depend on me
Yet, you don't know me

Ih... You should be afraid of me
Ih... Soon, I shall go
Ih... You better know what I want
Ih...

Coming here took a really hard time,
I'm being challenged by an invisible enemy tonight
but I daringly tell him
"the journey up until now was a mere approach run"
What I aim for is the far huge Babylon tower,
which stands towering over the surrounds
If I listen well, I can hear my pulse
I can hear "let's begin" with a trembling excitement
The comrade that was here until yesterday is now gone
I even prepared to let go of my favorite weapon
But because of that I got the most agile set of wings
If I have nothing, then there is certainly nothing left to lose
There is no reason to feel anxious before even beginning

Let's begin the race, lift your sunken face
From the start line, I look over at my load
Thinking of the path, that's right
begin the race, livin' the base
I won't give it up to anyone, this is my load
Finally I can run

So, let's go, up that path
we can fly, if we don't have anything
Let's aim higher than Icarus
So, let's go, up this path
let's run fast, since we don't have anything
go through all the things you can only do now

Ih... You should be afraid of me
Ih... Soon, I shall go
Ih... You better know what I want
Ih... go through it

In order for me to be myself,
I cannot be protected by anyone else
Even alone, until I laugh
I will continue without even glancing aside

Let's begin the race, lift your sunken face
From the start line, I look over at my load
Thinking of the path, that's right
begin the race, livin' the base
I won't give it up to anyone, this is my load
Finally I can run

So, let's go, up that path
we can fly, if we don't have anything
Let's aim higher than Icarus
So, let's go, up this path
let's run fast, since we don't have anything
go through all the things you can only do now

There is a dream which you can make true only now,
there is a bridge which can be only crossed today,
who are you waiting for, in such a place?
I'll tell you — you have wings!
That you can't fly is a wrong impression
"Your body and heart are too heavy"
Who said so?
If it's nonsensical misinformation,
don't let it enter your ears

So, let's go, up that path
we can fly, if we don't have anything
Let's aim higher than Icarus
So, let's go, up this path
let's run fast, since we don't have anything
go through all the things you can only do now

Ih... You should be afraid of me
Ih... Soon, I shall go
Ih... You better know what I want
Ih... go through it

Vallya

When the sound starts flowing,
from one end to another my body vibrates
Sweat drips on my naked back
and soaks so many of my muscles
Boom the dancehall! My aim is not a handsome boy
Boom, boom the dancehall! What I want is...

Let's get a sweat, don't need to sit there
I wanna get sweat, until fever breaks out
There is no vallya*, vallya is broken
It's a beginning of something, that's right
let's break the vallya

Demolishing an invisible wall,
we need no more vallya
There is no place we cannot enter,
from here on
Breaking out of shell, and moving
we have no more vallya
Before we realized it, the world is
no vallya

Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya

The man who meets his back to that dancing woman,
yesterday he was a stranger,
and yet now he's like a ranger of a forest
Because dancehall doesn't have any rules
or established routines
And by no means it has a dress code
The only one taboo is a fight

Let's get a sweat, don't need to sit there
I wanna get sweat, until fever breaks out
There is no vallya, vallya is broken
It's a beginning of something, that's right
let's break the vallya

Demolishing an invisible wall,
we need no more vallya
There is no place we cannot enter,
from here on
Breaking out of shell, and moving
we have no more vallya
Before we realized it, the world is
no vallya

Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya

The rich men who hide rolls of money in their pockets,
the homeless who have not yet decided where they will sleep after,
The ladies who are already so tired of men,
and also the bitches who are looking for their man from afar

Let's get a sweat, don't need to sit there
I wanna get sweat, until fever breaks out
There is no vallya, vallya is broken
It's a beginning of something, that's right
let's break the vallya

Demolishing an invisible wall,
we need no more vallya
There is no place we cannot enter,
from here on
Breaking out of shell, and moving
we have no more vallya
Before we realized it, the world is
no vallya

Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we need no more vallya
Jumpin', jumpin' we have no more vallya


*Vallya comes from Jamaican Patois "barria" - which means a barrier.

ラブレター — RABURETAA

My heart automatically started to walk
it hurriedly wanted to tie you down
I even pretended to not be able to do
the things I certainly could do alone
I didn't want to give away being by your side
I didn't want to give up on our future
Forever, surely, let it be this love
I wrote this wish down in a love letter

That summer day when I always believed we'd be together
I pretended not to notice, and was by your side, laughing

My words that rise to my mind and disapper
I couldn't face you and say them, but
I cannot put the thoughts that weren't there
from the beginning into words anyway,
no matter what
While glancing at that face of yours secretly
Little by little, the feelings I wanted to tell you
have accumulated, before they disappear

The words don't stop lining the paper
Even if I never give it to you,
these are my feelings for you right now

The love letter I never gave to you
my feelings never communicated,
never being found by anyone, fly in the sky
I'll tell of the wishes that never came true
to the stars sitting in the sky
Even if this love ends someday,
I won't forget it

I put a lid on the feelings I wanted you to notice
In order to be with you a bit longer, I just laughed

The words don't stop lining the paper
Even if I never give it to you,
these are my feelings for you right now

The love letter I never gave to you
my feelings never communicated,
never being found by anyone, fly in the sky
I'll tell of the wishes that never came true
to the stars sitting in the sky
Even if this love ends someday,
I won't forget it

If it all ends wrong,
I don't want to hear "I'm sorry" escape your mouth
So, what should I do?
This heart of mine does not want any other man
Why did you laugh with such a happy face that time?
Because there is no way I can say such foolish words,
my love letter will fly

The love letter I never gave to you
my feelings never communicated,
never being found by anyone, fly in the sky
I'll tell of the wishes that never came true
to the stars sitting in the sky
Even if this love ends someday,
I won't forget it

The love letter I never gave to you
my feelings never communicated,
never being found by anyone, fly in the sky
I'll tell of the wishes that never came true
to the stars sitting in the sky
Even if this love ends someday,
I won't forget it

Dear

It is not even necessary to close my eyes,
our irreplaceable great days
appear in my mind then disappear
Whenever I remember your face,
when you used to eat everything
without loving or hating anything
I wish with all my heart,
that you are well and being yourself
and I wish this for your future too
You were always by my side patiently,
seeming like you wanted to say something

Where are you right now?
Are you laughing as always?
Even for one glance, I want to see you again

I want this song to reach you
at your place
On & on & on & on &...
I keep praying
that at your side, a miracle may occur
On & on & on & on &...
I keep believing without giving up

On days when I was bullied,
you just silently sat beside me
and watched the scenery together
you're best friend
If seen by someone else, this is something
not so strange and common
But to me, you are such an irreplaceable being
I am not there, but you are all right
Make friends, and laugh

I want this song to reach you
at your place
On & on & on & on &...
I keep praying
that at your side, a miracle may occur
On & on & on & on &...
I keep believing without giving up

If it's possible at all, I want to see you again
if it's impossible, I want to yell and cry
There is only one wish I have:
it's that you can keep moving forward
It's all right, you don't have to worry
I'm not a crybaby that I was back then
I can fight the bad guys
So, until the day we can meet, goodbye

I want this song to reach you
at your place
On & on & on & on &...
I keep praying
that at your side, a miracle may occur
On & on & on & on &...
I keep believing without giving up

I want this song to reach you
at your place
On & on & on & on &...
I keep praying
that at your side, a miracle may occur
On & on & on & on &...
I keep believing without giving up

ちいさスター — Chiisa SUTAA

I looked up to the sky
and found a shining star
which let off its shine
I'm sure that, even if I myself cannot see it,
I'm one of the stars

Under a tree, a victory stand appeared
Today, too, someone proudly climbs on it
As I am just watching it happen
I don't want to boast, but
I haven't even once climbed there

In the class, I'm also average
My height, and my grades
From the front, 15, and from the back, 14
I don't stand out nor jump out
And I have no hidden special talents
I mutter "I'm sorry, mama"
But even so you say
"my child is the best"

I'm not a super star, but surely a tiny star
doesn't receive trophies or certificates
even if it's small, it's a shining star,
just not a super star
I can shine

To my ordinary self, there is no stage, no lights
At the end of each year, there are no amazing prizes
A tiny star who looks up to the super star

I realized suddenly, that there is no such a thing as equality
Where I would take a hundred years to accomplish something,
there are people who could do it straight away
No matter how much I dream and yearn for it
when I knew that there are things that just won't come true
I cried alone, but, from here on, there are surely interesting things

I'm not a super star, but surely a tiny star
doesn't receive trophies or certificates
even if it's small, it's a shining star,
just not a super star
I can shine

I'm not hit by spotlight,
I wouldn't be found amidst hundred people
in the audience
Even so the people who appear on television
throughout the entire day are top class
in the sky there are multitudinous shining stars
I shine under the vast sky
I couldn't have become a super star
but I can shine in my own way
That's right, if I laugh it's just fine!
If we're small, then let's become small!

I'm not a super star, but surely a tiny star
doesn't receive trophies or certificates
even if it's small, it's a shining star,
just not a super star
I can shine

To my ordinary self, there is no stage, no lights
At the end of each year, there are no amazing prizes
A tiny star who looks up to the super star

鈍なマン — Don-na MAN

Hey, silly man, my beloved one
No matter how much I hear
that you have few female friends
it doesn't make me happy
There are numerous things you say
that make me feel pain
"The girl who I like now looks like you"
Silly man, even if I'm supposed to dislike you
One day, you may notice that you were so stupid
If it's going to be like a Hollywood ending:
"I've been hiding it, but the truth is, I like you"

If he doesn't notice, I want to make him notice
If I could do that, I wouldn't worry!

Every day, every night
I wanna say I like you so much
But I can't; you're already probably
falling in love with someone else
Every day, every nigth
You make me want to give up
by making me worry, but even so
I decided I like you, and can surely tell you
about this love

That silly man over there,
sometimes I think that he wants to give himself over
to that strange woman
But those are not my true feelings
The truth is that I feel most suitable for you

If he doesn't notice, I want to make him notice
If I could do that, I wouldn't worry!

Every day, every night
I wanna say I like you so much
But I can't; you're already probably
falling in love with someone else
Every day, every nigth
You make me want to give up
by making me worry, but even so
I decided I like you, and can surely tell you
about this love

I don't feel like using the length of seeing each other as a weapon
I want to stop this vague behavior and tell you
I want to gather my courage
To the everyday where you introduce me to girls next to you
"say lullaby"
Finally, I'll change my tottering self

Every day, every night
I wanna say I like you so much
But I can't; you're already probably
falling in love with someone else
Every day, every nigth
You make me want to give up
by making me worry, but even so
I decided I like you, and can surely tell you
about this love

Every day, every night
I wanna say I like you so much
But I can't; you're already probably
falling in love with someone else
Every day, every nigth
You make me want to give up
by making me worry, but even so
I decided I like you, and can surely tell you
about this love

Luck

When the things I have to do
pile up like mountains and valleys,
I try letting my work go by the strength of luck
No matter how long I wait, laugh and cry
while the years go by,
I make sure to pull luck in my direction

Attaining just one "luck"
makes life that much easier
it's a hack that I've mastered
In order to attain success,
studying is not enough
While being in distress, today too
it's a harsh battle
If we work together, slowly but steadily
we begin to stand out and win
Therefore there is nothing at all that worries me
As was expected, trying to judge
whether it's "wack"or not is useless

People are born as people,
for that alone surely are lucky
I'm busy even at my free time,
but even so I lived through it while laughing
Colors get repainted,
and look even better than their original colors
In order to live decently,
let's keep laughing as far as we can
The forbidden fruits I longed for that much
What I missed was at fault of sky's judgement
And after that newcomer appeared
who I won over in an instant,
I managed to skip a miserable life
"Someday I will surely achieve this"
We can't make it too difficult
Before everything surprises us
and makes everything go wrong,
let's entrust everything to the sky

Ms & Mr Lucky, Eastern & western Lucky
Wandering and leaving it up to luck
Ms & Mr Lucky, Northern & southern Lucky
We can climb up, at that time we're close

Leaving our luck to the sky
today too, leaving it to the wind
Sometimes we get deceived by waves
and hit by hail after that
Bathing in luck and sun, sweat dripping hotly
Today the time is the best,
I'll throw open my room's window

Attaining just one "luck"
makes life that much easier
it's a hack that I've mastered
In order to attain success,
studying is not enough
While being in distress, today too
it's a harsh battle
If we work together, slowly but steadily
we begin to stand out and win
Therefore there is nothing at all that worries me
As was expected, trying to judge
whether it's "wack"or not is useless

Along the way, we sing YOI YOI YO~
Enjoying all the seasons
The world is full of so many colors
and beautiful forests
Sometimes we miss the mark,
but then find a clear solution
and recklessly forget about it

Crying alone is bitter
But when I set my mind on something,
I'm enthusiastic
The stress that I cannot vent
Hey, if I take an optimistic view, I can move again
Saying this or that, while living
"I'm unlucky" It's such a lie!
Exhausted from human affairs,
and waiting for heaven's decree
The darts and circle of a future
we have no clue about
The type of guys who think negatively
are baptized in errors by god in the sky

Leaving our luck to the sky
today too, leaving it to the wind
Sometimes we get deceived by waves
and hit by hail after that
Bathing in luck and sun, sweat dripping hotly
Today the time is the best,
I'll throw open my room's window

Ms & Mr Lucky, Eastern & western Lucky
Wandering and leaving it up to luck
Ms & Mr Lucky, Northern & southern Lucky
We can climb up, at that time we're close

Attaining just one "luck"
makes life that much easier
it's a hack that I've mastered
In order to attain success,
studying is not enough
While being in distress, today too
it's a harsh battle
If we work together, slowly but steadily
we begin to stand out and win
Therefore there is nothing at all that worries me
As was expected, trying to judge
whether it's "wack"or not is useless

If I were your girlfriend

If I were you girlfriend
I would always run fast to you
and make you laugh
If you were my boyfriend
then I would not need anything else

This is a small dream of mine
Atop a lawn that was heated by sun
You were a bit late than you promised
You waved as you walked
"I'm sorry I made you wait"
you came close while running
You melted my shaky feelings in an instant

I hope one day, under a clear sky
we will hold hands
If I can become like a lover to you

I know it's like a fantasy
It's far from reality
The real me is so cowardly
But still I have a fantasy
It's of us being covered in grass
in a sunny spot

If I were you girlfriend
I would always run fast to you
and make you laugh
If you were my boyfriend
then I would not need anything else

Because I am different from that girl,
so even if our feelings aren't exactly the same for each other
I don't care; even if there is nothing,
my love for you here makes me so strong
I keep staring at my phone, even if you don't answer
I'm not crying
On your birthday I get up early and prepare for it
Thank you for living under the same sky
and at the same time as me

If I were you girlfriend
I would always run fast to you
and make you laugh
If you were my boyfriend
then I would not need anything else

When you are not well,
I will protect you from everything
At time when you want something,
I will gather all the things for you
When you are laughing,
I will smile by your side without bothering you
At times when you want to cry,
I will embrace you and be quiet

I know it's like a fantasy
It's far from reality
The real me is so cowardly
But still I have a fantasy
It's of us being covered in grass
in a sunny spot

If I were you girlfriend
I would always run fast to you
and make you laugh
If you were my boyfriend
then I would not need anything else

If I were you girlfriend
I would always run fast to you
and make you laugh
If you were my boyfriend
then I would not need anything else

What a girl can do

They can laugh after crying
as well as be kind to others
They can give birth to a new life
That is what girls can do

What a girl can do is not a little
In a storm that is still prevailing,
splashily moving forward
whilst embracing pain as well
(what a) Girl can do (is) smile in the morning light
Under a sky that has cleared, smile, girls

People make choices
in order to make their only one fate
My ladies who were born,
at a certain morning have realized
the meaning of those words
The power of girls who started to look for realistic happiness
instead of chasing after a too big yearning
Even if I'm worn out by a hundred lies,
even if I sometimes tire from everything,
even if I lose just one thing,
I can still keep living, I can still laugh
Even if I lose the love I believed in,
even if I lose everything until yesterday,
even if I have no spirit to carry on,
Again, you see? I can laugh

I seem so weak and fickle, like glass
on nights when I am so, so scared,
and cannot close my eyes
I will continue without ending it, this is my story
There is no way I will stop, at this dark place

What a girl can do is not a little
In a storm that is still prevailing,
splashily moving forward
whilst embracing pain as well
(what a) Girl can do (is) smile in the morning light
Under a sky that has cleared, smile, girls

They can always laugh
can also be kind to others
They can birth a new world,
that is what girls can do

I seem aimless, fragile,
as if I'm about to break and fall over
But to that reality, I have a heart that isn't perturbed
What I want to do, I always decide
I'm trying to make others appreciate me,
but even so I'm proud of myself
There is nothing; but I am glad to be myself
If I wipe my tears with my hand,
my field of view increases, surely Semi forever
If I look so far that I even see the things I couldn't,
I will become clever
At this path, right now, I face a new world
If it's the fear of losing - I left it behind at a tower
A woman is an extremely strong being
Even if barefoot, we can arrive to tomorrow

I seem so weak and fickle, like glass
on nights when I am so, so scared,
and cannot close my eyes
I will continue without ending it, this is my story
There is no way I will stop, at this dark place

What a girl can do is not a little
In a storm that is still prevailing,
splashily moving forward
whilst embracing pain as well
(what a) Girl can do (is) smile in the morning light
Under a sky that has cleared, smile, girls

Singers, dancers, teachers and doctors,
lawyers, pilots, athletes and someone's wife
actresses, economists, politicians,
anything you want to be

What a girl can do is not a little
In a storm that is still prevailing,
splashily moving forward
whilst embracing pain as well
(what a) Girl can do (is) smile in the morning light
Under a sky that has cleared, smile, girls

Urban Pirates

Heading towards the light from the east
Wearing the mania of south
Being pulled down by the north wind
From the western harbor, I depart on a ship

In front of the ocean, we shout YO- HO-
We'll let the direction of the wind decide
where we shall go
Until we find what we are looking for,
Urban Pirates will go, whilst overlooking the sea

In the city the High Power is too much to handle alone
In the High Tower which I don't find fascinating
isn't what I am looking for
I'm going to find the super treasure
I am aiming for only one just for me
Somewhere it's waiting for me
I'm jumping into the sea in a craze
The young pirates who jumped into this wide world
are looking up and being guided by the stars
longing for something that they are looking for
When I look by my side,
I see my comrades lined up as they sing a tune
Each one of us is a member of the Urban Pirates

There are no rules
And there are no arrogant leaders
There is no such a thing as a useless person
So, look around you
Put your baggage in the ship
and open the big sails
From here on, it's a start of a new legend

Looking around for an unexplored treasure island
The world that hides still unseen treasure
Riding, striving to be the first, Urban Pirates will go
look carefully and concentrate well

The Dreamland that makes rouges, scoundrels and outlaws
have a shine in their eyes
Here, in the mid-way of this road are beings that don't give up
in order so that they can finally make their dreams come true

There are no rules
And there are no arrogant leaders
There is no such a thing as an useless person
So, look around you
Put your baggage in the ship
and open the big sails
From here on, it's a start of a new legend

Looking around for an unexplored treasure island
The world that hides still unseen treasure
Riding, striving to be the first, Urban Pirates will go
look carefully and concentrate well

It's not only one thing,
I don't know what the treasure is
But it surely gave me a wonderful courage
At any time, open your arms wide
whenever you're standing against your fate

Looking around for an unexplored treasure island
The world that hides still unseen treasure
Riding, striving to be the first, Urban Pirates will go
look carefully and concentrate well

Looking around for an unexplored treasure island
The world that hides still unseen treasure
Riding, striving to be the first, Urban Pirates will go
look carefully and concentrate well

Dreamer

I stopped the alarm that rang in the early morning
It felt special to be out in the city while everyone is still sleeping
On my walk before breakfast, the birds sang unknowingly
Why does it feel like today I can walk a bit longer?
Everyone frequently says that
"only a person with one god can laugh last"
But today too I live, holding a lot of hope in this chest
just like threads of a cloud

We are Dreamers, we see dreams
Even if we were born without anything,
there are things that we can acquire
You are Dreamers, and so, even in dreams
the things we never thought can be - become a reality

I grabbed a sparkling fragment from a place which I could reach
During the night when I decided to improve on it, I couldn't sleep
The extraordinary dream in which no one believes in
Why, I wonder? I seem like a fool, but I can't think of anything else
but to make it come true

Nothing remains in my memory
The grades I accomplished, and the dreams I had
But surely, a handful of people do remember you

We are Dreamers, we see dreams
Even if we were born without anything,
there are things that we can acquire
You are Dreamers, and so, even in dreams
the things we never thought can be - become a reality

"I should have done it differently that time"
The preparations for my "image training" were meaningless
But it's not like everything disappeared
Don't overthink about the things that have ended,
in a time that has stopped, with a heavy heart

We are Dreamers, we see dreams
Even if we were born without anything,
there are things that we can acquire
You are Dreamers, and so, even in dreams
the things we never thought can be - become a reality

We are Dreamers, we see dreams
Even if we were born without anything,
there are things that we can acquire
You are Dreamers, and so, even in dreams
the things we never thought can be - become a reality

MAMA

To every mama, there are words I want to tell you
To every mama, I wanna say thank you, and love you

The morning when I closed myself in my room
because I had no self-confidence at all
My mama came really close and called out my name
I whispered while I cried that I have no beauty or talents
"Don't say foolish things" she said angrily
Mama's face was unusually serious and seemed sad
And because of that I decided to believe her words

You did more for me than you did for yourself
Ho, ho, ho, oh, oh
also shared the pride that is untouchable by anyone

At desperate nights, alone, I close my eyes
and remember mama
Because you said "It's okay" and laughed,
I believe mama

You always wanted to know about everything
my friends I played with, the boy I dated, places I went,
the new skirt I bought, my cramming school,
the fun things I did, what I wanted to do in the future
I wouldn't listen to you always, and would interrupt you
"Don't push your dreams on your child"
I wanted to say this, but then have realized it wasn't like that

You've shared everything with me,
even more than what you'd keep for yourself
Ho, ho, ho, oh, oh
And also your heart that is strong even if alone

At desperate nights, alone, I close my eyes
and remember mama
Because you said "It's okay" and laughed,
I believe mama

My mama looked at my eyes and said that I'm a dreamer
And because I believe you at any time, I believe in those words too

At desperate nights, alone, I close my eyes
and remember mama
Because you said "It's okay" and laughed,
I believe mama

Just like an almighty person,
my mama always knew important things, whenever I'd ask
That's why she would never get confused and lost like me
But mama will surely not change, just like me
A woman who laughs and gets angry at silly things
She was in love, she saw dreams, she was just a woman
The only one in this world, my Mama.

Friends

The place where we were born,
the path we chose,
and our pride is not the same
Our favorite clothes, the type of guy
we ended up with is not the same, but...

Oh my friends, no matter where I go
I feel like I've become a bit strong
I'm not just crying all the time anymore
because we are all connected
Oh my friends, thank you for being there
Surely, in order not to make regrets,
I feel like I can become a bit stronger

Today is the "anniversary" of my unrequited love
Shriveled tissues surround my bed
The mails I randomly sent everyone,
I am not getting any replies back at all
As soon as I thought "Why?",
Suddenly someone rang my doorbell
When I went out to check who it is;
it was my wine deliverer, as always

When things would happen to any one of us
without wasting any time, we would gather together
Through the whole night, we'd cry, laugh and get angry
We'd all match our paces

Oh my friends, no matter where I go
I feel like I've become a bit strong
I'm not just crying all the time anymore
because we are all connected
Oh my friends, thank you for being there
Surely, in order not to make regrets,
I feel like I can become a bit stronger

When that girl fell in love,
we'd make meetings in the middle of the night
to discuss our strategies
Whilst rubbing our sleepy eyes,
we'd lean in and listen to our advices
"Maybe it's of no use again"
Rather than saying such complaints,
they'd say "there must be something else to do"
and I was always the member
who could never get her turn to speak

Whenever one of us would lose our way,
we'd always huddle together somewhere
Through the night, we'd agree, or disagree
or just be clueless
We'd all together try to find the meaning

Oh my friends, no matter where I go
I feel like I've become a bit strong
I'm not just crying all the time anymore
because we are all connected
Oh my friends, thank you for being there
Surely, in order not to make regrets,
I feel like I can become a bit stronger

Oh my friends, no matter where I go
I feel like I've become a bit strong
I'm not just crying all the time anymore
because we are all connected
Oh my friends, thank you for being there
Surely, in order not to make regrets,
I feel like I can become a bit stronger

Shopping

Go for the shopping, what the hell you are waiting for?
If it's something you want, right now, buy it!
Go for the shopping, I know what'chu wanna do
In order not to lose it, buy it!

I stumbled upon some boots in the city
that no other girl is wearing yet, which is good
I hesitate, should I stand at the end of the line? Hell no!
The market alternates, displaying fascinating goods
It spreads the mood of "I have to buy it!"
Don't lose out in this world, aim for the things you like
"Because it's half price, shouldn't you buy it?"
as I'm told this I realize that money is your friend
so rather than giving out your friends
let's think of the reason why is this being sold at half price?
and worry about it all over again
Maybe it's not fresh anymore,
or maybe some other thing is in style?

Even so, do you want it?
If you buy it, from tomorrow then you have to save your money
Yo buddy, if you're this persistent, if you want, you should go

Go for the shopping, what the hell you are waiting for?
If it's something you want, right now, buy it!
Go for the shopping, I know what'chu wanna do
In order not to lose it, buy it!

No more waste your money & time
Don't pile up the things you don't need
No more waste your money & time
If you don't know, then right now, investigate

Whether it's a bad or a good thing, you won't know until you buy it
There is no such a stupid thing, there is surely a turning point somewhere
But because he's a pro, when he's talking it's all lies
"Because it's black you look skinny and it's a real bargain, it suits you well"
He says this to everyone

Spring sale, discount! Summer sale, half price!
Autumn, winter, new year bargain
Department store, shops, stores, the drugstores
all of these stores are sold out

Even so, do you want it?
If you buy it, from tomorrow then you have to save your money
Yo buddy, if you're this persistent, if you want, you should go

Go for the shopping, what the hell you are waiting for?
If it's something you want, right now, buy it!
Go for the shopping, I know what'chu wanna do
In order not to lose it, buy it!

No more waste your money & time
Don't pile up the things you don't need
No more waste your money & time
If you don't know, then right now, investigate

Spring sale, discount! Summer sale, half price!
Autumn, winter, new year bargain
Department store, shops, stores, the drugstores
all of these stores are sold out

Go for the shopping, what the hell you are waiting for?
If it's something you want, right now, buy it!
Go for the shopping, I know what'chu wanna do
In order not to lose it, buy it!

Sun Flower

The new face that has sprouted,
without being beaten down by rain, wind or clouds
The new days that change every day,
they are moving as if they can't move

Just like a sunflower, looking up to the sun
Rather than looking at that cloud over there,
I want to look up just like that flower that blooms there
From now on, I'm a sunflower that looks up at the sky

I longed for the flower that had no stains
even when it came to existence first
I couldn't take my eyes off of it
Please, god, let me grow like that too, even for a bit
I wish strongly at the early morning full of falling stars
When I was little I thought I would become
a princess like in those picture books, when I'd grow up
Wearing a sweet scented gem, I face towards the ball
I become a decorated flower

Every night I dream of a fantasy
I want to release these feelings in the sky
If I wish for it, it will come true
It will reach the stars
Stand tall, just like a flower

Just like a sunflower, looking up to the sun
Rather than looking at that cloud over there,
I want to look up just like that flower that blooms there
From now on, I'm a sunflower that looks up at the sky

Surely, someday I will bloom, with petals alike to a deep red fire
Because I spent my time never ignoring it,
that's surely why I dreamed so big
It's not just the things that can be seen and touched,
my wish is also not only to bloom
But more than yesterday, and more than today,
tomorrow I want to surely head forward

Every night I dream of a fantasy
I want to release these feelings in the sky
If I wish for it, it will come true
It will reach the stars
Stand tall, just like a flower

The new face that has sprouted,
without being beaten down by rain, wind or clouds
I'm a flower, a flower doesn't need to become like someone else
What I choose is right

Just like a sunflower, looking up to the sun
Rather than looking at that cloud over there,
I want to look up just like that flower that blooms there
From now on, I'm a sunflower that looks up at the sky

Just like a sunflower, looking up to the sun
Rather than looking at that cloud over there,
I want to look up just like that flower that blooms there
From now on, I'm a sunflower that looks up at the sky

team try

I'm running, I will run and can run until I collapse
If I need to rest, until I reach that point, I will run

Doing right about-face, turning my back
Rather than running away, I just want to live
Even if I fall, that doesn't hurt me
I will face it even today

I came for the sake of being tested
Being challenged by something big
The pass that I was given, there is no way I will stop it
Keeping together, I will pass it on

Not even one thing has been realized,
but if it's the line of the team, you can't know it
Instead of doing one's own work, let's try to work together
Using your head, moving your feet, still aiming higher
If it's with my team who's running beside me, I am not afraid

Don't just be tested, don't you overlook and end it
The possibility is not 0, right?
When you are in pain, I will run fast, so please keep believing

I came for the sake of being tested
Being challenged by something big
The pass that I was given, there is no way I will stop it
Keeping together, I will pass it on

I'm standing at the place where only I can change the course of the game
Because I'm bearing all the responsibility on my back,
even if I'm scared I can only keep moving
In front of my eyes there are much stronger opponents than me,
A too big existence to win over
To stand in their way is a great honor,
let's keep going against all limits

If it's us, we will show that we can overthrow them
Even if we're small, let's show them that we can win
There is no way that I think it's impossible
Let's put our strengths together

That's right, to that far away place
Let's arrive with these legs
We will not be defeated
We will leave a miracle

おやすみ — Oyasumi

If we awake on a beautiful morning,
please don't overthink this and that
If we awake on a beautiful morning,
that's right, like this and that,
putting everything off let's fall asleep

Good night, wow, wow
Close your eyes
Holding you while you yawn
already it turned into a big yawn, wow, wow
Before I sleep, please see a dream

Bathing in slight light,
gentle wind strokes my cheek
I can keep you safe in my arms
with a proud feeling
If it's coldness, without going against it
I will ignore the noisiness on the other side
That you are stirring about is a proof that you are dreaming
When I cannot sleep no matter what, I don't let go of your hand

I'm by your side, even if you keep your eyes closed
I am always watching over you
I'm by your side, even if you keep your eyes closed
Because I'm always watching you

Good night, wow, wow
Close your eyes
Holding you while you yawn
already it turned into a big yawn, wow, wow
Before I sleep, please see a dream

Everyone has one and only place where they sleep
That's why I want to give you the most wonderful cradle
We embrace, and before we know it start feeling sleepy
I'm fine with being here, everything can be met in time
I somehow cannot sleep, but your body doesn't have any sign of moving
Somehow I cannot sleep, but I'm just waiting by your side
Bon go ron on the bed

I'm by your side, even if you keep your eyes closed
I am always watching over you
I'm by your side, even if you keep your eyes closed
Because I'm always watching you

Good night, wow, wow
Close your eyes
Holding you while you yawn
already it turned into a big yawn, wow, wow
Before I sleep, please see a dream

良い酔い宵 — Yoi, Yoi, Yoi

It's overflowing in the glass, transparent love juice
On my swelling skin, I spill Beer, there is no way I'll dilute anything

Let's drink
let's dance with me, until morning
Because we all want to forget the bad things and feel good
Let's drink
let's talk with me, about anything
Disclosing our deepest feelings from time to time

"No matter when we look at you - you're always drunk!"
at these praising words I would heartily agree
But even so, sometimes I'd lose consciousness and wake up the next day
and would reflect on everything deeply
Rest is the best yo yo! And after you start feeling well again, go go!

Let's go today too, in a magnificent way
rebelling against those loud guys
There's no use in being a good girl
So, don't just sit around, try to move
The faces of everyone look too frightened
when the police surround them
As far as I notice, I'm drunk, if I need to vomit,
the toilet is not far
Ignoring the smashed guys, even if I'm still drunk,
I will drink again, won't I?

Immediately I pour margarita, my body melts under my chair
Even as I side-glance the men who have started a fight, I'm fine just with my alcohol
I always want a fun morning. Tomorrow, it'll be good like this too
While looking far at girls who talk this and that, I'm fine just with my alcohol

I want you to gulp down Beer & Tequila
You are wandering through a wonderful night
Getting ready for Beer & Tequila
You're invincible
Beer & Tequila pass through my throat smoothly
Beer & Tequila, sound rings through my blurred head
Beer & Tequila, before we notice it, everyone's cheeks are red
Beer & Tequila, this and that, our words don't stop

Let's drink
let's dance with me, until morning
Because we all want to forget the bad things and feel good
Let's drink
let's talk with me, about anything
Disclosing our deepest feelings from time to time

Forgetting shyness 1, 2, 3, 4! The taste doesn't bother me at all
Filling up the glass in front of me entirely, and all my words keep flowing simply
Oof! My head is full of foolish plans, and then gradually I misstep on the stairs
I'm being judged as the crazy one, and hitting my face in the wall and dropping my wallet
I'm scattered everywhere

It's overflowing in the glass, transparent love juice
On my swelling skin, I spill Beer, there is no way I'll dilute anything

I want you to gulp down Beer & Tequila
You are wandering through a wonderful night
Getting ready for Beer & Tequila
You're invincible

Immediately I pour margarita, my body melts under my chair
Even as I side-glance the men who have started a fight, I'm fine just with my alcohol
I always want a fun morning. Tomorrow, it'll be good like this too
While looking far at girls who talk this and that, I'm fine just with my alcohol

Let's drink
let's dance with me, until morning
Because we all want to forget the bad things and feel good
Let's drink
let's talk with me, about anything
Disclosing our deepest feelings from time to time

Beer & Tequila pass through my throat smoothly
Beer & Tequila, sound rings through my blurred head
Beer & Tequila, before we notice it, everyone's cheeks are red
Beer & Tequila, this and that, our words don't stop

DESIRE

The time to grasp what I was looking for,
is approaching right in front of my eyes
Right now, it's surely a good timing
Riding the waves which I have aimed at
Now, riding
The time to grasp what you were looking for,
is approaching right in front of your eyes
Right now, it's surely a good timing
Riding the waves which you have aimed at
Now, riding

Stick on your desire
Keep on moving for desire
The world gives me proof
that it can change to the shape I want it to
Stick on your desire
Keep on moving for desire
At the moment when I imagined my dreams
the world opened a road right in front of my eyes

"If there is suffering, it won't be easy at all"
If I keep thinking only such painful thoughts,
it will become dark, so surely I will take it easy

My past self couldn't see anything good
merely showing a tired face and
was always feeling depressed

"If it's bad, we don't have to do it" - it's not like that
Stopping when we face opposition - it's not like that
Let's see it through until the end, no matter what
We're getting the strength to take it and preserve

When we tie our shoelaces,
it feels like nothing is impossible
That's how it starts to feel, right?
So that's why we are walking on right now

This navy blue uniform,
I have waited for the day I'd take it off
during my high-school years
Even if I thought like that or not,
I didn't know that I could change anything
and struggled alone

But I've noticed my heart's warning
that there are things that I can only do now
This sea is not mine, I want to arrive to the sea that I long for

Stick on your desire
Keep on moving for desire
The world gives me proof
that it can change to the shape I want it to
Stick on your desire
Keep on moving for desire
At the moment when I imagined my dreams
the world opened a road right in front of my eyes

If someone laughs at me from behind,
I am myself, I won't pay heed to it
Sometimes my gait is awkward
but I always face forward
Different from my overbearing parents,
I'm searching for another point of view
I don't want no bugling toys,
they are meaningless junk

No matter what, my expectations aren't met
it's like a picture story of a distant land
Finally I glance left and right
that's right, today surely I make a vow in my heart
I want to live without missing the opportunity to cross the road
At the other side, there is dazzling light
I want to live because I was born

I've walked on whilst comparing myself to others
Because I'm alone, I nodded alongside others

This navy blue uniform,
I have waited for the day I'd take it off
during my high-school years
Even if I thought like that or not,
I didn't know that I could change anything
and struggled alone

But I've noticed my heart's warning
that there are things that I can only do now
This sea is not mine, I want to arrive to the sea that I long for

Stick on your desire
Keep on moving for desire
The world gives me proof
that it can change to the shape I want it to
Stick on your desire
Keep on moving for desire
At the moment when I imagined my dreams
the world opened a road right in front of my eyes

The time to grasp what I was looking for,
is approaching right in front of my eyes
Right now, it's surely a good timing
Riding the waves which I have aimed at
Now, riding
The time to grasp what you were looking for,
is approaching right in front of your eyes
Right now, it's surely a good timing
Riding the waves which you have aimed at
Now, riding
