If, for example, I was not in this place,
I wouldn't be able to be myself
I would leave while forgetting myself
The faraway sound of a festival
reaches my chest
If, for example, you were not in that place,
somewhere, someone
would shed tears
Somewhere, someone
would lose light
Before you go far away,
don't leave my side just for a bit longer
The road we need to take is endless
When we outstretch our arms, it's always there
Just like a caravan that goes through a city
Being lost is a natural state
Even if we keep stumbling and fall as we start running
(we just, movin' on)
I won't stop my legs
Always, look forward, look forward
Even if tears overflow, keep moving on
With whom have I come? With whom will I depart?
Can I stay here?
I don't want to spend the days that are left
just by thinking of that day as nostalgic
So, look forward, look forward
Even if you get hurt, keep walking
Even if you leave alone, or with someone
Even if you feel helpless
Let's not fear the road in front of us
The caravan will continue the journey
City caravan...

All lyrics translated by Mace
私の履歴書 — Watashi no Rirekisho
In front of me, there is one sheet of paper
As I notice, the fun season is over
Someone brought this paper
On this usual piece of paper,
there is no reason for my resume to be there,
but even so I tried to write it, just for the sake of trying
There is nothing really unique about it,
I was raised in a suburb of a city
with my sensitive siblings
Went to a primary school which
didn't have much room for choices
My middle school was chosen
by my parents due to circumstances
And the same happened with highschool
My grades were the same as everyone else's
If I think about it, everything was chosen by adults
I wonder what was chosen by me?
I was used to the dull life
where I'd write what I've been told to write
But I know it's not like this
The sweat I shed won't be mentioned
There are too many things I cannot include
The person I loved, the dream that I once accomplished
My life is surely something that can't be written
This road of mine that isn't like anyone else's
The section for my qualifications
is quite large
The thing that bothered me for an instant,
doesn't really hurt me that much
To be able to say that I am myself
is my most unbeatable qualification
What lacks, I can make up for, from now on
There are too many things I cannot include
The person I loved, the dream that I once accomplished
My life is surely something that can't be written
This road of mine that isn't like anyone else's
When I was little and decided I'd become
a magnificent adult, that girl is in far past
Even though the society is filled with warriors,
even after dreams, more than I have a long time ago,
I've opened my heart's window
It's impossible for me to write a resume
It's impossible to write "It's impossible" on it
The format of a resume is impossible
Putting one year into one line is impossible
There are too many things I cannot include
The person I loved, the dream that I once accomplished
My life is surely something that can't be written
This road of mine that isn't like anyone else's
As I notice, the fun season is over
Someone brought this paper
On this usual piece of paper,
there is no reason for my resume to be there,
but even so I tried to write it, just for the sake of trying
There is nothing really unique about it,

Little ms sunshine
Oooh... to you, who became an adult
Hey, little ms sunshine, you're shining
Why don't you notice it?
Hey, little ms sunshine, I'm shining
In the evening, I walk back home to the train station
I watch my classmate who seems in high spirits quite far away
I still can't tell about my dream to anyone
Alone, I fight, shed sweat and tears
Hey, little ms sunshine, you're shining
Why don't you notice it?
Smiling like a warm sunlight through trees
Little ms sunshine, I'm shining
I wonder if I'm fit for being the main actress
in this story
Hey, the grown up me, what are you crying about?
It's supposed to be a lot more fun than I imagined
From the other side of time, I'm there, close
"I wonder what will I become when I grow up?"
Every night, I can't sleep until it's late,
my head is full of thoughts
As I do this, I wonder if someone I don't know
is moving on with his or her life
Because I'm scared, I can't even watch the TV,
but I can't tell that to anyone
"Anyhow, it's pointless" - those words don't disappear
But I can't say that I will stop here
The teachers make faces like they understand,
but the truth is they don't understand even a bit
I don't want to become like the grown ups
who just walk amidst the road aimlessly
Before I learn how to give up, how to be shoddy,
and how to lie; she appears - myself from that time
Remember me, someday in the back street
That I longed to see the world
Remember me, the places where I wasn't able to go,
you're supposed to be able to go, right?
Hey, do you remember me?
If you take a peek in the mirror, you can remember
I spent days not caring about how people perceive me
Why are you making such a tired face?
What is it so worth crying about?
You're always so angry and irritated
Even if you hurry alone, it won't start
The cakes mom made, and the stories dad told
This world has even more wonderful things,
for sure, hidden in it
If the day when I can fly comes,
I should try my best, and it'll be okay
If I say "Ah, it's good", then there is surely something
out there that I can find immersive
Hey, little ms sunshine, you're shining
Why don't you notice it?
Smiling like a warm sunlight through trees
Little ms sunshine, I'm shining
I wonder if I'm fit for being the main actress
in this story
Believe in me... I become strong
and walk little by little
whilst I grab the things I want,
one by one
Hey, the grown up me, what are you crying about?
It's supposed to be a lot more fun than I imagined
From the other side of time, I'm there, close
"I wonder what will I become when I grow up?"
Hey, little ms sunshine, you're shining

なみだの日 — Namida no Hi
Making myself busy, making myself busy
In order to not make any gaps, just doing one thing after another
Making my mind busy, too
All in order to not think of that person...
If you stop now I'll cry just like a baby
So don't stop, buddy
One day I'll love somebody who is not you as deeply and strongly
But I don't want to erase that I fell in love with you
so I'll clench my teeth, look upward,
I won't rest at all, so much so that I don't have time to cry
During the time when I fell in love I was always in high spirits
Even if we weren't together I thought that you were thinking of me
Whenever we'd walk in the city I would be proud that I'm not alone anymore
My heart was shouting to the point where I wanted to tell everyone
"my boy is so perfect, he is the one!"
The truth is that even if I realized even a bit somewhere in my head
that a day like this would come, I just wanted to keep on dreaming
It's the bottom of my life, there will be no more painful days than this
So let's get over today, rather than spending the time alone
If you stop now I'll cry just like a baby
So don't stop, buddy
One day I'll love somebody who is not you as deeply and strongly
But I don't want to erase that I fell in love with you
so I'll clench my teeth, look upward,
I won't rest at all, so much so that I don't have time to cry
I imagined our futures from now on,
I feared that the day will come where there
isn't anything else to think about to fill in the free time
The truth is that although I realized even a bit somewhere in my head
that a day like this would come, I just wanted to keep on dreaming
It's the bottom of my life, there will no be more painful days than this
So let's get over today, rather than spending the time alone
If you stop now I'll cry just like a baby
So don't stop, buddy
One day I'll love somebody who is not you as deeply and strongly
But I don't want to erase that I fell in love with you
so I'll clench my teeth, look upward,
I won't rest at all, so much so that I don't have time to cry
The day when you left right in front of me,
I was scared and scared, like a newborn baby
it felt like my body was shrinking
I didn't know how to breathe
If I stay this way I'll suffocate, I'm left without strength to breathe in
When you left this world was filled with useless things
There are still things I want to say, and things I want to give you,
I want to tell you things I saw today, without you there's no meaning
But still there is world out here, and there are things I want to do
More than before I want to live on by appreciating myself
If you stop now I'll cry just like a baby
So don't stop, buddy
One day I'll love somebody who is not you as deeply and strongly
But I don't want to erase that I fell in love with you
so I'll clench my teeth, look upward,
I won't rest so I won't have time to cry
In order to not make any gaps, just doing one thing after another
Making my mind busy, too

UN-SOLO feat. SEEDA
I don't wanna be by myself, I don't wanna be solo in Life
I wanna be with my man, I wanna be with my girl
I don't wanna be by myself, I don't wanna be solo in Life
I wanna be with my man, I wanna be with my girl
Here is the light, oh we are the light
You are not alone, look beside you
In the morning I head for the train station,
I walk with my headphones on
"Please everybody, don't talk to me"
As I say this, I want to be reached out to
I cannot stand, oh I cannot stand
But because of that, will I keep going on
without anyone reaching out?
You cannot stand, oh you cannot stand
What is unbearable is surviving alone
I don't wanna be by myself, I don't wanna be solo in Life
I wanna be with my man, I wanna be with my girl
I don't wanna be by myself, I don't wanna be solo in Life
I wanna be with my man, I wanna be with my girl
A scar from past crosses my mind,
My eyes skittle from person to person,
without even seeing their hands
Without even realizing
the love that's right in front of me,
I spend my entire summer in a small room
"I don't trust people"
When I decided that, the future narrowed
and I laughed while crying
The truth is, I want to believe in a different future
in this wide, vastly expanding world
Try opening the door,
and looking at the world outside
Focus on all your five senses
Look really well at the faces of people you will run into
No one wants to hurt you - that is a nightmare
you've dreamt up yourself
If you open that door, you are not alone anymore
Life that lives together with you is laughing
Surely, it can reach you always
If you were separated, you can get it back
We are Unsolo...
The call that ties us together is resounding
Alone, I walk along people at evening
Again, all alone, I walk the same road
Wandering aimlessly, I wonder if it's
a useless trip all over again?
The opposite of disorder-less soft rush*
which has felt no hoarse loneliness
A surprised stubborn tomboy
A blow that's like a snake
And my nagging parents who are annoying,
but I'm thankful to them
I disappear whilst mingling in a crowd of people
Suddenly, while I look beside myself there is no one
There is nothing, there is nothing
In a crowd of people, I don't see anything
Hurting my most precious person,
and being unable to appreciate important things
I've disappointed, and was saved
That's right, I am not alone
We're not alone, so it's not a mistake
The country where we were born and our bloodline
Simply, we are here tonight
I am not afraid, but a person who is not afraid doesn't exist
So, as we call out to each other, we are here tonight
I don't wanna be by myself, I don't wanna be solo in Life
I wanna be with my man, I wanna be with my girl
I don't wanna be by myself, I don't wanna be solo in Life
I wanna be with my man, I wanna be with my girl
