プライオリティー (Puraioritii) – Priority

Performed by Kinoshita Momoka.

from Boku igai no dareka single.

Pelted by the pouring rain
I waited for you alone
The broken neon ‘M’ sign
Turns into darkness at the bottom of my heart

Wearing a dress and gaudy make-up
You spotted me along the street
“Why are you here?” As if blaming me
Your lips moved to ask

Maybe I should have grabbed your arm
With more force, and walked on?
If I had hurt you with our breakup
Then punch me as hard as you like

Only now
I’ve finally realized
That you are the most important thing
Our hearts jostled
And as if the string was cut
The broken
Shards of love
Scatter and fall
Like a necklace’s pearls
I reached out above the asphalt
Because we saw the same sparkle, but
When should I pick it all up?
Priorities

Scary men donning sunglasses
Threaten me near the door
Pierced by their wordless gazes
I can’t help but be afraid

If it can be solved with money
Then I’ll make the first move
As long as you’re not the only one
Carrying the unhappiness of the world

That’s right, I’m the one at fault
Falling into self-loathing
I couldn’t get used to love
So I won’t make excuses

The drops falling
From your drenched hair
Are words I’ve amassed in my heart
Rejecting your calls
So your resistance
Had nowhere to go
The pain of love
Overflows
Tears fall down your cheeks
As you silently glared at me
I know it’s all true feelings
When should I erase it all?

Please don’t say that
It’s too late
We may still make it
No matter what happens
From now on
I’ll protect you
So

So
Only now
I’ve finally realized
That you are the most important thing
Our hearts jostled
And as if the string was cut
The broken
Shards of love
Scatter and fall
Like a necklace’s pearls
I reached out above the asphalt
Because we saw the same sparkle, but
When should I pick it all up?

Finally, it’s the day when I can see you
A date I’ve been waiting for forever
Yet the weather is the worst
The rain hasn’t stopped since this morning (hasn’t stopped)
No thanks to the thick clouds and my bad behavior

But, this time
I’ll love earnestly
Need to pass you the umbrella…
Want to gaze upon you forever
Not missing even a moment…

Let it snow!
Change rain into snow now!
Let it snow!
Let’s walk with umbrellas closed
Let it snow!
A pure white city
Is the start of romance
Let it snow!
Change rain into snow now!
Let it snow!
So that we’ll never forget
This precious day known as today…
A beautiful snowy day

You came, dressed in a red raincoat
Looking like an early blooming camellia
Suddenly, the city seemed brilliant
The sullen scenery turning bright (turning bright)
To me, you are like the sun

Dashing across the street
I couldn’t tell your expression
The umbrella obstructing your face
Are you happy? Or slightly shy?
Are you smiling? I want to know…

It’s snowing
The two of us in the snow
It’s snowing
Eyes locked upon each other
It’s snowing
Events from now on
Accumulating upon us
It’s snowing
The two of us in the snow
It’s snowing
If I can be your lover, then
I don’t mind getting drenched
Our anniversary with the first snow

Let it snow!
Change rain into snow now!
Let it snow!
Let’s walk with umbrellas closed
Let it snow!
A pure white city
Is the start of romance
Let it snow!
Change rain into snow now!
Let it snow!
So that we’ll never forget
This precious day known as today…
A beautiful snowy day

恋は災難 (Koi wa sainan) – Love is misfortune

Performed by Team M.

from Boku igai no dareka single.

——

Love comes suddenly
We can’t hear its footsteps
Like being caught in a chokehold
There’s no escape
It’s just a misfortune
Something that can happen to anyone
Even if we try to hide away
It’s always too late when we notice it
Please be careful

At the party that night
There were lots of people, yet
Why me? Tell me why
I spilled that red wine of destiny
And we met

What I remember now
Is a cool gaze
Returning my smile
An adult’s response

Reason is essential in love
It won’t be born out of chance, but
An unexpected happening
Like lighting a fire, maybe…
That’s just a misfortune
Like a calm fuse that’s been tripped
Emotions overflow
And I want to see you again

Friends ask nonchalantly
Who is that man?
Before I knew it, I was Struck by you
Leaving a permanent mark on my heart
A special guest who has since left

Yes, we’ll never meet again
Not in the future…
I want to chase after
That unfamiliar person

Love comes suddenly
We can’t hear its footsteps
Like being caught in a chokehold
There’s no escape
It’s just a misfortune
Something that can happen to anyone
Even if we try to hide away
It’s always too late when we notice it

I’m somehow different
From my usual self
This me searching for you
Is an unexpected development

No! No! No!

Reason is essential in love
It won’t be born out of chance, but
An unexpected happening
Like lighting a fire, maybe…
That’s just a misfortune
Like a calm fuse that’s been tripped
Emotions overflow
And I want to see you again

Isn’t it persistent?

孤独ギター (Kodoku gitaa) – Loneliness guitar

Performed by Team N.

from Boku igai no dareka single.

——

Just how many regrets must I overcome
To grasp what’s truly precious?
The dream I’ve always reached out towards
Just a little more, yet it escapes again

My powerless self
Stands out vividly
The dent in that rusted guard rail
Was due to someone’s frustration

Let’s play the loneliness guitar!
Strum out all my emotions!
Even if nobody is listening…
Pressing out love’s chords
I’ll lay my feelings bare
Someday, until this sound reaches out
I won’t stop my fingers
AH- AH-

In the threshold between hope and despair
I forget what I was searching for, but
The bottom of my heart trembles even now
Wanting to deliver this scream

To give up
Is worthy of scorn
Again and again, the curves of my bent and damaged heart
Connect to a road somewhere

Let’s play the winter guitar!
Strum with a cold pick!
I need to grow strong
The melody I created
Sings of true freedom
It’s ok even if I’m left alone
I’ll believe in possibilities
AH- AH-

To the place I’m aiming for
I’ll walk on without giving in
No matter the path, it’ll never be straight
So we can’t see what’s ahead

Let’s play the loneliness guitar!
Strum out all my emotions!
Even if nobody is listening…
Pressing out love’s chords
I’ll lay my feelings bare
Someday, until this sound reaches out
I won’t stop my fingers
AH- AH-

from Boku igai no dareka single.

All this while, I’ve been watching
The scenery passing outside the window
Pulling past numerous mountains and tunnels
Have we crossed the long bridge yet?

My dream destination
Is still far ahead, I know that
The names of the tiny stations rushing past
Somehow caught my interest

There are passengers waiting there
For the local train to arrive
So why am I hurrying past?
When there’s still so much time in the future…

Shall I stopover and take a stroll?
There are worlds still unknown to me
Surely, life is about taking our time
To reach our final goal

That one day, I boarded
This train with my comrades
Each one of us transferring somewhere
Our memories going on a journey

I’d gotten on at the first stop
And came here following the timetable
What will I do at the final stop?
I’ve lost sight of what I really want

Let’s do a stopover and think
I have lots of other dreams too
We can’t help but hurry
So I’ll get off at the stop I want

Every (every) person (person)
Moves by destiny
It’s boring to just be carried along
But (but) surely (surely) with our own will
We can choose our destination

Shall I stopover and take a stroll?
There are worlds still unknown to me
Surely, life is about taking our time
To reach our final goal

The station I stopped at
Everything I saw was so refreshing
Even if I didn’t do anything
I realized that was the most important thing
