夏が終わる頃 (Natsu ga owaru koro) – When summer ends

from Shiki uta Summer album.

——

Boarding the subway, my tired body sways
From the commercial district back to my small room

A weekend spent together making pasta, my best dish
Obsessed with foreign dramas, an irreplaceable time

It was all so fun, we laughed together, yet
Did the usual become a nuisance? I don’t know anymore, but

Days when we hurt each other, I pretended to be an adult and let them pass
Stowing away the words, because I treasure you
When summer ended, I met you and we walked on
The sunset we saw that day, I haven’t forgotten it even now

Looking around for nice furniture, going to our favorite cafe
You listened to my vexations, a precious moment

You accepted my all, wiped my tears away, but
Love’s magic is melting away, I want you to notice, yet

Days we shared with each other, feelings of nostalgia dash through me
Sinking into these emotions, am I thinking too much?
When summer ends, you won’t be in my dreams
I just pray for my smile to come back tomorrow morning

Days when we hurt each other, I pretended to be an adult and let them pass
Stowing away the words, because I treasure you
When summer ended, I met you and we walked on
The sunset we saw that day, I haven’t forgotten it even now

サマー・ナイト・フィーバー (Samaa naito fiibaa) – Summer night fever

from Shiki uta Summer album.

——

From around this side
Do the Ska, then it’s time to sing
“Tokyo”, how are you feeling?
It’s almost time for the B-melody

Forgetting what was decided
Want to get on the uncool step
Say byebye to your overthinking self
Let’s go, yeah

Summer night fever
Let me hear your voice more
Summer night fever
Come on, 5-4-3-2-1
Say ah ah ah yeah
Summer night fever
That smile is truly the best!

I’m weak when faced with pressure
So I’ll forget lyrics at the important part…
The simple smile you give me
I love it the most, want to make you happy

Let’s clap from now on
Follow me even through the strange dance steps
More more more, hey, sing it
The real show is just beginning

Summer night fever
Let me hear your voice more
Summer night fever
Come on, 5-4-3-2-1
Say ah ah ah yeah
Summer night fever
That smile is truly the best!

Those who want to play, play
Those who want to make noise, make noise
Those who want to cry, take my hand
We’ll all go together, yeah

Summer night fever
Let me hear your voice more
Summer night fever
Come on, 5-4-3-2-1
Say ah ah ah yeah
Summer night fever
That smile is truly the best!

花火 (Hanabi) – Fireworks

from Shiki uta Summer album.

——

So that we didn’t lose each other in the crowd
We held hands tightly, feeling each other’s heartbeat
The smell of summer wavers on the water’s surface
As the two of us remained unblinking

Like this forever, can’t be like this forever
I know that, but I want to believe
Pinky fingers entwined, my tears fall
As time passes

A multi-colored ring spreads out
The same fireworks as we saw that day glitters
Only I am left, wanting to see you again

The dim stars overlap into a ring
My feelings, stretching straight out, grows violent
Just being able to smile was enough
Unknowing of the future

I love you forever, I love you, hanging my head
The words buried in my lonely heart
Shoulders close together, my tears stop
Just for now, my wish

Red shining, spreading out, then disappearing
Looking up at the same nightsky we saw that time
What are you thinking of now? As I alone stand still

“Thank you”, “Sorry”
I can’t speak them even now
Closing my eyes, I want
To forget your smile, but

A multi-colored ring spreads out
The same fireworks as we saw that day glitters
Only I am left, wanting to see you again

Red shining, spreading out, then disappearing
Looking up at the same nightsky we saw that time
What are you thinking of now? I alone stand still

Wanting to see you again

Turn your eyes to me
Our love won’t fade away
Only you won’t fade away, lovin’ you
Always my favorite color

As if drawing a picture with sunset orange
We kissed, like a cliché
Just like the perfect harmony of vitamins
The future color of you and I

The centre of the city is neither white nor black
I can’t explain it well, but
I know what I want
Cause you’re my number one

Turn your eyes to me
Our love won’t fade away
Only you won’t fade away, lovin’ you
Always my favorite color

I donna wanna stop it
Don’t ever wanna lose it
I don’t want another
My baby blue

I donna wanna stop it
Don’t ever wanna lose it
I don’t want another
My baby blue

Bad temper and selfishness overflowing
Spinning around like an old record
You smile, gently embracing me
A faint pink color

Even a faraway distance feels precious
So that our thread doesn’t break
I’ll be holding on
Cause you’re my only one

A sweet, sorrowful color
So sweet, so far away
Till my tears dry up, lovin’ you
Always Sweet like summer

Turn your eyes to me
Our love won’t fade away
Only you won’t fade away, lovin’ you
Always my favorite color

I donna wanna stop it
Don’t ever wanna lose it
I don’t want another
My baby blue

I donna wanna stop it
Don’t ever wanna lose it
I don’t want another
My baby blue

フォエバ (Foeba) – Forever

from Forever single + Undress album.

——

Holding a coffee too hot to drink
“What’s wrong?”
You suddenly ask

The weak voice I hid away
The tears I held back
Start to flow before I knew it

You are the one who knows me more than anyone else

Always stay by my side Forever
In this ordinary Everyday
Again, these irreplaceable Everything
Quietly, the two of us here Together
Nothing will change, Only one
From now till forever
Forever
Oh… Forever Oh… Forever
Oh… Forever Oh…

Those dazzling days will
Always continue
I really believed that

Always so busy
We spent our everyday apart
Passing by each other more, but

I’m always praying for your happiness

I’ll always be here Forever
I’ll never forget Anytime
Always never leaving you!
Someday, we’ll laugh Together
Nobody can beat you, Only one
From now till forever
Forever
Oh… Forever Oh… Forever
Oh… Forever Oh…

Break it down now

Baby, surely forever
I won’t change even if we drift apart, Oh
Baby, I’ll stay by you
Always, forever
Don’t forget

I said Baby, don’t worry
I won’t disappear
Even when time passes (No No No Baby)
C’mon Baby, I’ll be here, so
Always show me your smile

Always stay by my side Forever
In this ordinary Everyday
Again, these irreplaceable Everything
Quietly, the two of us here Together
Nothing will change, Only one
From now till forever
Forever
Oh… Forever Oh… Forever
Oh… Forever Oh…

Oh… Forever Oh… Forever
Oh… Forever Oh…

It’s Forever

サマーラバーズ (Samaa rabaazu) – Summer lovers

from Shiki uta Summer album.

——

Taking off these scarlet sandals, I fly out
The murmuring waves are a BGM playing
The coral reef shines with rainbow light
I want to be washed away with you

A sigh quiet on the water’s edge, carried away
Soon, the hot summer can be felt!

You dash out, too dazzling
So our fingers entwine, not letting go
Sky and sea meld, scorching the present
The sun shines on the future

Entrusting myself to the sea breeze at my back
Our bodies, cuddled close, cast silhouettes on the sand
Mirages shimmer upon the asphalt
Sunshine, summer’s romance, watches over us

I won’t forget the ripples shining with sorrow
So I’ll make this time into a memory, for always

As long as you smile, I don’t need anything now
We kissed, just like in the movies
Unable to swim, you pulled me close by the right hand
The sunset embraces this summer

You dash out, too dazzling
So our fingers entwine, not letting go
Sky and sea meld, scorching the present
The sun shines on the future
