ハワイへ行こう (Hawai he yukou) – Let’s go to Hawaii

from 12byou single.

——

An orange
Carryall bag
Hoisting it myself
As I ran fast
Why are airport counters
All so
Difficult to navigate?

10 minutes
Later than
The meeting time
So frantic
Searching for the airline
On the opposite side of the crowd

Will he come?
Really…
Yes, just the two of us
This holiday
Which I didn’t tell Mama
A secret plan

“Let’s go to Hawaii”
He said in invitation
While we were singing karaoke
Let’s go to Hawaii
Almost like a joke…
That he whispered into my ear
On the night of our graduation

All the savings
From my part-time job
This spring vacation
Have been spent on
Flight tickets and hotel bookings
Because I didn’t want
To burden Papa and Mama

Similarly
He also worked hard
To save up money
Is he ready?
Today has come in such a hurry
That we didn’t even do a double check

Believing in love
Since that day
We promised
And he will keep it
Our first vacation
I’m ready

Dream vacation
In an unknown world
That I didn’t even discuss with my close friends
Dream vacation
Road to adulthood
I’m a little anxious, but
It’s a departure to adulthood

Let’s go to Hawaii
Time for departure
He is finally here
Let’s go to Hawaii
To really be able to go
Like we’d promised
A premonition for a wonderful romance

カメレオン女子高生 (Kamereon joshi kousei) – Chameleon high school girl

from 12byou single.

——

Chameleon high school girl
Able to blend into her surroundings
She’s already graduated
But the uniform still fits her
So cute, right?

Within the group chatting
In front of the convenience store
There’s really one person
Who is over 20 years old

Nobody has realized
Youth’s showcase
Her emotions are always
Seventeen

Chameleon high school girl
Doesn’t want to become an adult
Always wanna be
A young girl like this (Please!)
Nostalgic high socks
Amongst her juniors
Doing her best and brimming with enthusiasm
She’s ok with blending in
Noone can tell, right?

Aware of the peeks
And gazes of the boys
Upturned glances and duck lips
Skilled at taking selfies on her smartphone

Everyone, keep quiet
Romance is a ploy
Correction with make-up to
Seventeen

Chameleon high school girl
Adapting to the surroundings
When the young girls are here
Count me in too (Please!)
Favorite twin tails
She’s not pushing it
A contest based on appearance
Her camouflage
So cute, right?

So, who is it among the group?
Me? Me?
The fake high school girl
3! 2! 1! GO!

Chameleon high school girl
Doesn’t want to become an adult
Always wanna be
A young girl like this (Please!)
Nostalgic high socks
Amongst her juniors
Doing her best and brimming with enthusiasm
She’s ok with blending in
Noone can tell, right?

微笑みポップコーン (Hohoemi poppukoon) – Smiling popcorn

from 12byou single.

——

Suddenly, you go silent on the sofa
What (what) are you sulking about? What’s the matter?

You’re at that difficult age
And I can’t understand you anymore

Cheer up
Wait for me a little
I’ll go make your
Favorite popcorn
Like the seeds
Going pop-pop in the frying pan
Smiling popcorn

The amusement park is closed due to rainy weather
We (we) can go another time

Your constant willfulness
Even so, I always forgive you

Cheer up
Come, look at this
Right now
The popcorn magic is happening
The silent seeds
Start to cackle in laughter and dance
Jumping popcorn

Cheer up
Wait for me a little
I’ll go make your
Favorite popcorn
Like the seeds
Going pop-pop in the frying pan
Smiling popcorn
