二人のサイクリング — Futari no SAIKURINGU

After the fog has lifted, the whole outlook looks better
Let's ride on a bicycle to the sea, the two of us
Will we use your bicycle or mine?
What if something unexpected happens? You worry


You're always so worrisome, my darling
If a tire gets punctured in the middle of the way
we should just walk leaning against each other
With two of us, there is only one instead of two, darling
If either of us gets tired, we'll let each other rest


I've been caught, because I want to look at you
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before


We're late, arriving only half way to our designated spot
We're hungry and the sky far is gloomy
You think about going back, and surely soon enough
tell me that going back is probably the smartest thing to do


You're always so worrisome, my darling
If suddenly it starts raining, we should take shelter together
We are pretty lucky, my darling
Just at that moment, we might find a famous soba restaurant
right before our eyes and feet


I've been caught, because I want to look at you
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before


Because you are so cautious and worrisome, I'm reckless and rash
But the two of us are always such a good "set" because of that
A combination of differences is very good,
our bonded souls are like a copy-robot
I can be glad that you are the way you are,
and you can be glad that I am the way I am
I let these burning, overflowing feelings for you ride in the wind


I've been caught, because I want to look at you
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before


I've been caught, because I want to look at you
If we're connected, I can be my ideal self
I want to stay caught, because I'm not afraid of anything
On this way that extends further, I'm sure there is
a wonderland that we've never seen before

Higher

I've decided the way, and I can't appear vague about it
Everyone who believes in me - they're surely not wrong
They have spoiled me, who was always complaining
that I can't do it as well as I thought, saying things like
"Ahh, it's okay, you're doing all right" in a regrettable manner


Since I'm living in a place I want to,
I'll try to always face forward
What I chose was "It's definitely possible"
Because everyone thinks so


I'm running to a new place, I don't stop,
I keep seeing my never ending dream
There is nothing I want more than that,
I wanna go higher


If I can always fall asleep with such exhaustion,
maybe one day I can tell myself "glad you could make it", while smiling


Surely nothing will start, if I tell someone
"I am doing my best, so why..."
Myself, who has faith is surely not wrong

Since I'm living in a place I want to,
I'll try to always face forward
What I chose was "It's definitely possible"
Because everyone thinks so


I'm running to a new place, I don't stop,
I keep seeing my never ending dream
There is nothing I want more than that,
I wanna go higher


Applying myself 100% is somehow scary,
What if I do so and still can't win?
So I always run away from fighting even at 70%
The power to chase my disappeared dream has still remained
There are times when I use all my power and things still go wrong
There are times when I do my best and still spend nights all alone
From the moment you open the curtains completely,
try going to the limits, and you will find the correct answer

For You

I didn't think of you the same from the start, as I do now
Even though the things we like and our hobbies are different,
whenever we'd meet we'd have a great time together
Even if some time would pass, if we'd meet on a street
we'd forget about time and have so much fun
The things I can't tell anyone, the things I can't show anyone;
I confessed them all to you and no one else
When I was lonely or when I wanted some alone time,
you understood it all without even saying anything

Wanting to say "thank you", and calling you without knowing why
"It's been a while since I heard that voice", thinking that,
I start feeling awkward and anxious, and in the end end up
talking about the same boring things, since it seems like the call will end soon

Because the days that I've spent by your side
always smiling have made me strong
I appreciate your love, I'm glad we've been together this far

The proof of that so much time has passed and that we've become adults,
is the fact that you keep running straight ahead
In the past, I had no clue that there were more important things
than spending time together
Far away when we can't meet, and when I can't hear your voice
I've decided to not whine to you, I promised so
When I want to meet you, when I want something
I will do my best to get through it all, until the day we meet

When I am tired and want to complain to someone,
I unintentionally recall my memories
Before you take off, if I think of that smile of yours that won't be here
I feel so helpless and unable to do anything
I became unable to say "I want to see you"

Because the days that I've spent by your side
always smiling have made me strong
I appreciate your love, I'm glad we've been together this far

Hey~ I wonder if I can see you again
Hey~ I wonder if we can laugh together again

No matter in how much pain I am, tears don't come out
But when I think of you, tears overflow
Since there is no way to say "the truth is, I'm lonely"
I will see you off with a smile

City Caravan — summary



City Caravan

Having walked this far,
and from now on, I am not alone
so there's no problem
I can keep on heading forward
on this long road, because I'm not alone
Searching for people in this desert of a city,
searching for a community, searching for water,
searching for an oasis
We're a caravan that faces the dazzling sun
that shines on us
If the sun has set, let's look up at the sky
Let's move on to a blue campus
using the twinkling stars as a guidepost
So, let's go, we need just a bit longer...
If we fall asleep, let's hold hands
and bring our tired thoughts to tomorrow
The night of a caravan, which won't let the sun die
while it faces and climbs to the smoky sky

If the sun has set, let's look up at the sky
Let's move on to a blue campus
using the twinkling stars as a guidepost
So, let's go, we need just a bit longer...
If we tire, let's rest a bit
If we get thirsty, let's drink something
If we get scared, let's stop and look around

City caravan... where does the wind blow?
City caravan... where is tomorrow facing to?
City caravan... when will we arrive next
to a green oasis?

City caravan... where does the wind blow?
City caravan... where is tomorrow facing to?
City caravan... when will we arrive next
to a green oasis?
