設定温度 (Settei ondo) – Preset temperature

from Umarete kara hajimete mita yume album.

——

Someone’s shadow has scared the dog
As it starts to growl
The air-conditioning unit outside the window
Is the culprit of this humidity

Why aren’t you
Breaking into a sweat?
With a peaceful face
In a corner of the room
You ignore summer

The old muted television
Tells me nothing

Why am I
The only one annoyed?
Even as I continue
To love you…

The preset temperature of this aircon
You and I surely want to set it differently
If I lower it slightly, it’ll be cooler
I know that, but
You’ll become cold

That consideration
Seems useless
My T-shirt
Is soaked with sweat
And it’s not because of summer

The cheap rocket fireworks that last an instant
Are just like a practical joke

How can you
Fall asleep so quickly?
I’m always the only one
Left watching your sleeping face

The preset temperature of this romance
It’s better if you and I talked about it more
When we love someone, we become kind
And am able
To tolerate beyond our limit

The one who’s always hot
And the one who’s always cold
Are living together
It must be love

That consideration
Seems useless
My T-shirt
Is soaked with sweat
Autumn is still far away

思い出ファースト (Omoide faasuto) – Memory’s first

from Umarete kara hajimete mita yume album.

——

Even as we reach the boardwalk by the shore
I remain troubled by your curtness
Maybe it’s your new sandals
That gave you blisters, making it hard to walk
So you’re in a bad mood

The approaching wave coddles us
Let me carry you from here

Memory’s first
I won’t start a fight here
Memory’s first
I want to spend a romantic time
With you, and the miracle here
Memory’s first
Someday, we’ll look back
And think, “this was the best summer”…

The food truck selling tacos on the beach
I ran there to buy some back for us
Maybe I’d put on too much tabasco
So you left a tiny little bit
Uneaten

You’re selfish, but I love you
Love forgives everything

Sorrow’s first
I just want to be with you
Sorrow’s first
I shut my eyes against everything else
And stop caring
Sorrow’s first
I miss you
Want this to be a heart-stopping summer

Lalalalala…
Lalalalala…

Memory’s first
I won’t start a fight here
Memory’s first
I want to spend a romantic time
With you, and the miracle here
Memory’s first
Someday, we’ll look back
And think, “this was the best summer”…

What’s the most important
Thing to us?
Yes, what do we put before anything else?
Priorities, we need to think about that
Memory’s first
It’s a MUST
This summer’s sweet goal

Lalalalala…
Lalalalala…

君が扇いでくれた (Kimi ga aoide kureta) – You blew towards me

from Umarete kara hajimete mita yume album.

——

Whenever summer comes, I remember
That sweet yet bitter time
Just where is it coming from?
This nostalgic breeze

Nobody (nobody)
Knows (knows)
That episode
Time (time)
Passes (passes)
That faded photo
Still makes my heart clench now

Suddenly, you blew towards me
With your clear file or underlay
Nonchalantly, quietly during class…
A small confession
That made my heart race
Our secret

Because I’m an adult now
That vague memory
Is an embarrassing, sweet incident
Like a short-sleeved uniform blouse

Why (why)
Just (just)
That scene?
I’ve (I’ve)
Always (always)
Remembered it
How unexpected

I didn’t notice your wind
Sometimes blowing to me
Coming from you right beside me
Your gentle intentions…
I was too late
In noticing the opposite sex

Every time I gently close my eyes
A breeze blows from my right
It’s just a hallucination
But I miss that day so much…

Suddenly, you blew towards me
With your clear file or underlay
Nonchalantly, quietly during class…
A small confession
That made my heart race
Our secret

スカイダイビング (Sukaidaibingu) – Skydiving

from Umarete kara hajimete mita yume album.

——

Before I knew it, the rain had stopped
I hadn’t noticed the blue of the sky

In the open cafe under the weak sunshine
I became a prisoner to your ponytail

Will we always be friends?
Will we become something more special?
Oh, tell me
It’s summer

Skydiving with you
I’ve tried to fly
Yet I’m falling head over heels
Just like skydiving
We’re buffeted by the wind
Where will we go?
Nobody knows

Amidst the sound of helicopter blades
I’ve been waiting for your words

Will something start?
Or will you pass me by?
I want an answer
Mr. Sun

Love is skydiving
Even if we can’t see the future
I’ll break through the clouds…
Emotions gone skydiving
Mustering my courage
I want to make a landing to you
With my parachute…

My speed of descent
Tells of my feelings for you
Giving myself to the wind’s direction
Will my love be granted?
I should know
Yeah Yeah Yeah

Skydiving with you
I’ve tried to fly
Yet I’m falling head over heels
Just like skydiving
We’re buffeted by the wind
Where will we go?
Nobody knows
