北の酒場 — Kita no Sakaba

North hot basement's gonna keep you up
If it becomes hot, get off and go
Rather than enduring coldness in a room,
gather up and make noise all through the night

People all over the city shudder to cold,
and are looking for a warm camp fire
The sound I faintly hear comes from
under that building - a hidden basement

Stepping on a northern land,
gritting their teeth to the cold
Lovers huddle their shoulders together
reminiscing the hot nights
That is certainly at the end of the street,
and there is no other place where they need to go
In there, people overflow and stir about
Immediately, she wanders from her boyfriend

First, she goes to dance on the floor,
searching for a circle where people gather
When she gets there, she follows the wave
We-wow, we-wow
Rather than her head, she sways her body
The things she was searching for, she will search later
Following the wave that has been just created,
we-wow, we-wow

Time passes for one hour,
and it seems she found her boyfriend
But next to her there is a boy she just met
and whom she can't help but want to get to know

Ah, it's so strange
After all, try as I might
I cannot find my friends
If it's okay, I want to keep dancing
to the next song like this as well
If it becomes too hot here,
I'll sit and ask for something cold
There I'll tell him my name
I wonder if he'll come to me silently now

North hot basement's gonna keep you up
If it becomes hot, get off and go
Rather than enduring coldness in a room,
gather up and make noise all through the night

Time passes for two hours,
and it seems like she has forgotten her boyfriend
It's scary how a one night dream could change
her faithful self so much

This is a northern pub
A place where no becomes yes
Carried away by fever and anticipation,
tonight somewhere too,
a man appears unnoticed
Behind him, the innocent couple
lures the men

First, she goes to dance on the floor,
searching for a circle where people gather
When she gets there, she follows the wave
We-wow, we-wow
Rather than her head, she sways her body
The things she was searching for, she will search later
Following the wave that has been just created,
we-wow, we-wow

Alright! Then... Let me see your dancing style
If you move you'll warm your cold hands
Shake a booty... Let me see your dancing style
Keep going, hai, ai-ai

North hot basement's gonna keep you up
If it becomes hot, get off and go
Rather than enduring coldness in a room,
gather up and make noise all through the night

少年 — Shounen

Far away, at the top of that sports ground,
a boy's dream has begun
Even on sunny mornings, even on nights with heavy rain
No matter how much he does it, it's never over-done
This flame cannot be extinguished by anyone
It's still not the end, the curtain opens

In this impressive place, being tested every day
Relying on excuses, falling - self confidence breaks and scatters
When everyone is feeling down, at those times you
would slap your forehead and remind everyone that
it's still not the end

I always wanted to say it;
I'm glad that I met you

We are now, under the same sky
Groveling, fighting, holding the same dream
Because we left them on the road - our brave,
honest footprints which show we kept fighting

Since I have nothing,
I wondered what I could become
and clenched my teeth
But in an everyday where I'm being told
that I shouldn't show the ego I cling to
I don't want to lose to them
I've leaned on repeating that
So until my feelings wear off
I can still keep running

I was always happy
Thank you for this big dream

We are now, under the same sky
groveling, fighting, holding the same dream
Because we left them on the road - our brave,
honest footprints which show we kept fighting

That sports ground hasn't changed even now,
and is still glimmering
From now on, we can even reach the sky,
if we strongly wish for it
I want to do something since we've stopped here
I have to move, if I want to look for it and make it happen
If I can repay the things I've gotten
I want to pull the curtain for your sake
If there are things that I can do for you
I'll give you my best

We are now, under the same sky
groveling, fighting, holding the same dream
Because we left them on the road - our brave,
honest footprints which show we kept fighting

You see? This is not the end, from here there's a beginning
It will continue always, all through life
Because no one else, at no other time can do it
let's accept the challenge

DREAMLAND

I have a home
It is not big, but it is comfortable
It's so pleasant that even the bugs are attracted to it
I also have a not quite satisfactory job
It is nothing remarkable, but it's worth doing
I cannot let anyone else do my work
When I look around, even like this
I've gotten a lot of different things
When I think of this, there is no space
for my usual complaints to come out

One by one, things pile up
Even the color of my heart gets repainted
One after another, in a world that keeps spinning
One by one, I receive things in my hands
Even if they change, or if I lose them,
what's left is one hope
That is my own...

I wonder if I might become the person
I dreamed of that day
It got to my attention only now, but
it's still not too late

People all have their own roads
that's why each have their own different meanings
A road which has many twists and ups and downs
And sometimes there are companions
While they are imperfect, they are enthusiastic pals
Since when has this person walked with me on this road?
When I look around, even like this
I have gotten pretty far
When I recognize this, I feel no disappointment
about the things I have been given

One by one, things pile up
Even the color of my heart gets repainted
One after another, in a world that keeps spinning
One by one, I receive things in my hands
Even if they change, or if I lose them,
what's left is one hope
That is my own...

That I will someday arrive
to that place I dreamed of
It got to my attention only now, but
it's still not the end

For one hundred tries there is only one result
The energy I had a long time ago has diminished
But even so I decided to go forward, and kicked the ground
lecca who loses her own way just like everyone else,
even if I reflect, I won't regret
I don't resent the people who blame others
You can't count the things that aren't there
I have decided so, I have...

Don't be afraid, ladies...
Don't be afraid, boys...
Don't be afraid, parents...
Don't be afraid, kids...
Don't be afraid, rookies...
Don't be afraid, teachers...
There is no need to be afraid
because this is a Dreamland

I wonder if I might become the person
I dreamed of that day
It got to my attention only now, but
it's still not too late

I wonder if I can go there, just like in that dream
I wonder if I can become like that person

That I will someday arrive
to that place I dreamed of
It got to my attention only now, but
it's still not the end

Goddess in the Mountain

Look well at everything beside you,
Look well right under your feet
Not just in front of you,
strain your eyes behind yourself too
At times, look up high at the sky
You're not living alone, are you?
This world opens from there

The mountain goddess releases wrath
upon human behavior,
without any hopes for tomorrow
While embracing corpses of dead children,
she falls beneath sad destroyers
And now, the goddess is under human control,
holding her breath and tasting bitterness
Only those who are powerless are rash
They fall in control of a righteous aggressor

The grief of parents who stood before their children,
that too will become just a reverberating echo
A wasteland that lost all its life
The things that were left at the end of the world are
shadows of light in low hanging clouds
In the roar of a famished young wolf,
In the height of a flower that has sprouted,
there is an impatience that can't be hidden anymore
If I can, before it's too late,
I want to protect all living wild life
The lineage that steals all but human life
Words that don't reach, unintelligible jeers
The empty night view of an abandoned city
My body is entangled in thread of mistakes of moral duty
Where is the bare laid mountain goddess?

Him who floats with bare feet,
due to a sad event, he was put on a scale,
erasing all doubt, and was burned until he lost all form

Goddess in the mountain is dying,
some who are worried about that are crying
diminishing and withering
Ignoring people, what if they are just lying
Goddess in the mountain is dying,
some who are worried about that are crying
Disappearing and dying
Ignoring like it's just nothing

Being blind to the destruction and staying here,
It's a big challenge to find a way to stop it
Why doesn't the love drawn in a savior's heart
embrace anything outside of the human race?
A baseless, confident "don't worry"
I just shout hysterically
Exceeding optimism is too ridiculous
We call the disaster around us an illusion

The mountain goddess releases wrath
upon human behavior,
without any hopes for tomorrow
While embracing corpses of dead children,
she falls beneath sad destroyers
And now, the goddess is under human control,
holding her breath and tasting bitterness
Only those who are powerless are rash
They fall in control of a righteous aggressor

Where is goddess? We wanna rescue her
Where is goddess? We wanna rescue her
That person who is hidden in an unreachable land
Where is goddess? We gotta rescue her
Where is goddess? We gotta rescue her
Before she goes out of breath, she holds a handful of light

I gently hold the women who fell by the disease in my arms
I bring relief to them by stabbing them with a poisonous needle,
all while I shed tears doing so

Goddess in the mountain is dying,
some who are worried about that are crying
diminishing and withering
Ignoring people, what if they are just lying
Goddess in the mountain is dying,
some who are worried about that are crying
Disappearing and dying
Ignoring like it's just nothing

Goddess in the mountain is dying,
some who are worried about that are crying
diminishing and withering
Ignoring people, what if they are just lying
Goddess in the mountain is dying,
some who are worried about that are crying
Disappearing and dying
Ignoring like it's just nothing
