There are roads which continue forever, but
It won’t lead to a place noone has ever seen before

Even on days when I walk on and on but never find anything
I smile as I head back, having lost nothing

This while city is our STAGE
The moving crowd our best audience

But I want to ascend those stairs of light someday
It may be small, but I’ll see an unknown scenery from there

What am I searching for in that light now?
What I couldn’t see then
I see them now, understand them now, but
My eyes are closed

Unable to reach out, the melody disappears
I won’t forget that sky that watched over me
Under the cherry blossoms where I picked up my dreams
If I hadn’t met you there, I won’t be here now
10 years later, you will still
Be the pillar supporting our STAGE
I believe

Alright, I’m heading off! Osaka Castle, it’s a battle with myself today
I definitely won’t lose, truly
Running against the Midosuji of dreams, to rely on someone else
I definitely won’t do it today, truly

Every day is filled with so many good and bad things, but
Just by running recklessly, most things will go well

No matter what, we’re almost halfway there, right?
No? Not yet? This is stretching really long!
Everyone is equally tired, I just need to smile at such times
The goal will come only for those who don’t give up

“What, so you like to run?” I never have an answer for this question
I don’t really know myself, truly
When I grew up, I found that I am relatively enduring
So I’d love to know how far I can go

Every wobble that comes makes me debate about stopping, but
I don’t know when I will next meet something that makes me so reckless

The city of water, Osaka, becomes a flowing rainbow
With my own dreams in my heart, I’ll cross it to the future
Waiting at the end is hell’s fortress, Nankou Bridge
Even on my hands and knees, I’ll cross it. I’m not alone today

No matter what, we’re almost two-thirds of the way there, right?
No? Not yet? This is stretching really long!
Everyone is equally tired, but I can’t hang my head at such times
I’ll cut through the glorious finish line with a smile

My life has always been a little strange, right?
No? Not yet? This is stretching really long!
Everyone is equally tired, I just need to smile at such times
Tomorrow will come only for those who don’t give up

In the darkness, Baby, that was where I met you
God took both our hands, and we fell in love
everything is all right

Wanting to see you everyday, everyday, but that wasn’t possible
Embracing like it’s our first love, we kissed like it’s our last
everything is all right

Desiring and sharing all of each other, God, if you are watching from somewhere
What is the reason for our meeting?
You’ve tired from crying and fallen asleep, I don’t have the umbrella to shield you from the lonely rain
Don’t have it, don’t have it

everything is all right

Before we knew it, Lady, we grew tired
Can’t we love once again like on the day we met?
Hurting each other again, yet unable to let go

It’s all my fault. If I would lose you, I’d go back to that time

You never wanted anything but one wish, yet if I can’t fulfill it
What is the reason for our love?
If wanting to be by your side makes me hold you back
Maybe letting go is love?

Desiring and sharing all of each other, God, if you are watching from somewhere
What is the reason for our meeting?
You’ve tired from crying and fallen asleep, the umbrella to shield you from the lonely rain doesn’t exist anywhere

If we need to let go someday, no matter how in love we are
If we need to let go

everything is all right

Sorry for that finale, I actually still feel for you even now
Even now, even now

星が綺麗な夜でした (Hoshi ga kirei na yoru deshita) – It was a night with beautiful stars

from TIMELESS WORLD album.

——

It was a night with beautiful stars
Visible even in Tokyo
Maybe because the lights in the lively city
Have fallen asleep?

It was a night with beautiful stars
In these eyes dim with darkness
Every sparkle of light
Stretches out in a cross

It was a night with beautiful stars
In these eyes dim with darkness
Every sparkle of light
Stretches out in a cross

Drenched by the passing winter rain
In the middle of the pedestrian bridge
I stopped alone, searching
Can’t see that star any longer

It was a night with beautiful stars
In these eyes shut without my notice
Together with every memory
I walk along the far end of the nightsky

It’s always right there, but
That star can’t be seen any longer

(tOKi meki) – Heartthrob

from TIMELESS WORLD album.

——

Let’s have a romance that makes our hearts dance, the destination shining on the MAP is you
Undertaking route changes so that we don’t get too close
A simulation of our first meeting, which pattern is charming for you?
Overthinking is always the greatest cause of awkwardness

Wanting to destroy that seemingly curt attitude
If I don’t think of you as someone who loves to laugh
I won’t have the courage to joke

With you, OK OK OK, my heartthrobs overflow no matter where we are
With you, OK OK OK, I learn about places and songs and books and movies
Wanted to be dyed by the person you are, and though there are things you don’t want me to know
Right in the middle of these complicated feelings, this romance dashes out

Sticking so close to you and agitating me, he’s aiming for the same destination
Does he think he can overtake me with such driving?

Pulling away from the scarlet rivalry traffic jam
“Once everyone is gone… we will be alone…”
If I don’t keep telling myself these “what if”s, I’ll never progress

With you, OK OK OK, my heartthrobs won’t stop, no matter what we do
With you, OK OK OK, I don’t mind learning about old stories
Wanted to melt the person you are, pour you into a mould shaped like me someday
Full of such delusions and daydreams, this romance waits at the signal

With you, OK OK OK, my heartthrobs overflow no matter where we are
With you, OK OK OK, my heartthrobs won’t stop, no matter what we do
With you, OK OK OK, before I knew it, your way of speaking influences me again
Want to watch you from today on, though there are some things I’ll pretend not to see
Right in the middle of these complicated feelings, this romance runs through

You have reached your destination

何故、旅をするのだろう (Naze, tabi wo suru no darou) – Why do we go on journeys?

from TIMELESS WORLD album.

——

Far away from home, there is another sky tells all.

Why do we go on journeys?
Even though we have chosen a city we like and settled down
Even though society isn’t as cold as they say

To find twilight, we need to focus upon the gaps between the buildings
In the end, these days which we never look back on
Pile up, and we head off with a single, empty bag

A clear color that can’t be captured
By any camera still exists in that sky
Amidst the usual same warmth
We go in search of a new self

At the gate that won’t accept a ticket to your dreams
Check it again before you turn back
The dreams you have, and that destination

Just like walking alone down the nostalgic street
That we might have seen in our youth
We can live on, standing taller than at that time
Tired smiles flowing out the window

Every time we gain one more place to return to
We gain another person we want to meet
“Take care until we meet again”
Eyes blurred with tears and a cracked voice

A clear color that can’t be captured
By any camera still exists in that sky
Amidst the usual same warmth
We go in search of a new self
We go in search of a forgotten answer

Bringing along the elliptical moon floating above the car bonnet
I dash along the flowing river of red taillights

From that tower overlooking the city
I look just like part of the illumination
The night wrapped in sighs finally unwinds

SUNRISE, the color of the shining light creates today
STARLIGHT, on the other side of the ocean
Light reaches out to the stars illustrating tomorrow
SUNRISE FOR STARLIGHT

Nobody can stop this too-wide yet constricted era
Even if the things which are unique in this world start to disappear one by one

When I look up at this city, I wish
That you can be kind
What are you thinking of as you look at the sky today?

SUNRISE, the rising passion in those closed eyes
STARLIGHT, on the other side of dreams
Floating in your heart as you overflow with smiles

The clock I left behind in that narrow room
Is still ticking

SUNRISE, the color of the shining light creates today
STARLIGHT, on the other side of the ocean, it shines on the night
SUNRISE, the rising passion in those closed eyes
STARLIGHT, on the other side of dreams
Floating in your heart as you hold back tears

SUNRISE FOR STARLIGHT
