五蘊 (Goun) – Five skandhas

from GOUNN single.

——

I want to meet you, on a journey beyond forever
As impermament as things are, this will never change

Is this love klesha?
Can’t free myself from avarice
You don’t speak, but I know from divine power
As if we were together in a previous life, like karma

Days of tears from utter humiliation
These are the things I can’t forget
You’re cold, but really kind
I want to give chase, to this person who resembles me

A pile of ores I gathered with so, so much effort
Smashed to smithereens
Because I was lost
A hundred deceptive monsters, mocking, cackling, sneering

Real miracles are the retribution of good fate
But they aren’t miracles, but unknown power guided by something inside us
I always wish to meet you, with magical synchronicity
We are connected at the bottom of our souls
My swelling emotions on the palm of your hand

Smells like nectar

Sambhala, reckless, peerless
Cruel demons passing through this deplorable city
I’ll cleanse
The Amanojaku
Raging in my heart
A hundred charming demons

“I’m alright. I can do it on my own”
I want to be known at a distance
I don’t want to be a burden only now
I want to show off an unbreakable self

Even so, even so, I’m so attracted and charmed
Can I fly to the state of mind of love, without heaven or earth?
Questioning voices, taunting, smirking, laughing

I won’t name these scattered emotions anymore
Love, friendship, I overcome all, gain all
I want to meet you somewhere on the water lily path
We are connected at the bottom of our souls
I want to purify these roiling emotions

The end will come someday, that is what they call destiny
The prosperous must decay, but I refuse
I want
To be
Reborn as myself
Ah

Real miracles are the retribution of good fate
But they aren’t miracles, but unknown power guided by something inside us
To achieve recognition, I dived into the river of upheaval
For the mandala of all living creatures
I send out words of prayer and wishes

Filled with gratitude

Shangri-La, reckless, peerless
The cruel demons beckon, that is evil’s path
A beautiful entrance
With no exit
I won’t be fooled
A hundred charming demons

あかりんへ贈る歌 (Akarin he okuru uta) – A song for Akarin

from Akarin he okuru uta single.

——

This is really the worst
But thank you so much for everything

We won’t stop you, we can’t stop you
Because it’s the path Akari chose
We know best about how strong-willed you are
Because we are aiming for a big dream
We couldn’t believe it, but
It’s an answer that comes with many wounds, right?

Hiding your troubles away, that’s your personality
It’s been tough all this while, right?
I know that you’ve cried over it

Being bad at singing, being physically weak
We’ve had so much troubles, but
Don’t forget
The strength that helped us get here

“I wrote that my wish was
Just to get into Top 10 on Oricon
I’ve said this too when I talked with everyone
We’ve left our mark in the end
That makes me happy
Everyone, thank you”

We’ll walk on separate paths from now on, but
Let’s continue to progress to futures
Which would make each other envious

I feel so helpless and super anxious
But I won’t cry anymore
We 5 will make this big dream come true

Do you remember the day we first met?
We had a conversation over fast food
It seems like just yesterday

Let our smiles and singing voices help Akari shine
Let’s go!! Let’s go!!
Aiming for Akari’s heart ☆
Thank you for everything
We love you
We’ll never, never
Forget the memories of the 6 of us

Words will never be enough, but
Thank you so much for everything
Your casual kindness
Has saved us countless times. Thank you
Though apart, our hearts will always be together
We will always support Akarin
Hey, Akarin… Thank you

La La La…

We’ll never, never
Forget the memories of the 6 of us

全力少女 (Zenryoku shoujo) – All-out girl

from Mirai Bowl single.

——

I’ll always love you with all I’ve got
That’s the only thing I want to say
I’ll think of only you with all I’ve got
Because I’m really in love!

That day after school, with the setting sun
We passed each other by chance
In the classroom, and you
Picked up my tear-stained hankerchief

The awkward gestures you showed to me
Somehow made me feel at ease
I’d always thought of you as shy
But we shared words that day for the first time

My heart squeezed tight and throbbed
Could this be my first love!?

“I love you!!” I want to tell that to you
I want to tell you all my feelings
I want to tell you from my heart
Grant my wish, four-leaved clover

I’ll always love you with all I’ve got
That’s the only thing I want to say
I’ll think of only you with all I’ve got
Because I’m really in love!

All-out girl!!!!

Why am I so attracted and glad
Every time you smile?
Why does my voice sound so shrill
Every time I talk to you?

Why am I so interested in what you see
Trying to gauge the type you like?
Why are you so kind
To everyone? Pit-a-pat ★ Heart throb

Children’s Day, Greenery Day
I still want to see you
There’s just too many holidays in May…

“I love you!!” I want to tell that to you
I want to tell you all my feelings
I want to tell you from my heart
Grant my wish, four-leaved clover

I’ll always love you with all I’ve got
That’s the only thing I want to say
I’ll think of only you with all I’ve got
Because I’m really in love!

All-out girl!!!!

Just by looking into your eyes
My world goes white, and shuts down
I’ve always been searching for the words
My fluttering heart is a pink (momoiro) clover

“I love you!!” I want to tell that to you
I want to tell you all my feelings
I want to tell you from my heart
Grant my wish, four-leaved clover

I’ll always love you with all I’ve got
That’s the only thing I want to say
I’ll think of only you with all I’ve got
Because I’m really in love!

All-out girl!!!!

ベター is the Best (Betaa is the Best) – Cliché is the Best

from Nippon egao hyakkei single.

——

Sheets of spray bathing in the sunshine
Your sweat glittering on this summer day
The sun and my heart starts to get hot
Chasing each other along the beach
Falling over and looking up at the blue sky
Sand getting into our beach sandals
Tingly, like summer

Summer is swimming in the sea ♪
That’s cliché ♪
Is it cliché?
It’s too cliché ♪

How about watermelon splitting at the beach?
That’s cliché ♪
Is it cliché?
It’s too cliché ♪

Summer’s all about love, right?
That’s cliché ♪
Is it cliché?
It’s super cliché ♪

Then how about tests of courage?
That’s cliché ♪
Is it cliché?
Maximum cliché ♪

Let’s end with fireworks ♪
That’s cliché ♪
Is it cliché?
Cliché is good ♪

Barbeques are cliché too, but fun!
Just do the cliché things, it’s all fun!
Oh my God! But being cliché is fun!
Because uncool things are cliché and fun!
As long as everyone is here, it’s fun!

Being cliché is good too (good too)
Being cliché is good too (good too)
With everyone gathered, cliché is BEST (cliché cliché cliché cliché)
Being ourselves is good too (good too)
Being normal is good too (good too)
Sharing lots, ready to blush
Cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché

The two of us painting a sunset
Caressing our tanned cheeks, the summer wind
Watching the sparklers in loneliness
Apprehensive about you

Being cliché is good too (good too)
Being cliché is good too (good too)
Ordinary things are so commonplace (that’s right, right, right, right)
Being ourselves is good too (good too)
Being normal is good too (good too)
It’s embarrassing alone, but with everyone
Cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché

We laughed so much over clichéd things
Being this way and that, we were so clichéd
Cliché is Better Oh yeah, America
Were the clichés good or bad? They were really good
I want to continue doing cliché things like this!!!

Being cliché is good too (good too)
Being cliché is good too (good too)
With everyone gathered, cliché is BEST (cliché cliché cliché cliché)
Being ourselves is good too (good too)
Being normal is good too (good too)
Sharing lots, ready to blush
Cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché cliché

If you are ashamed
Of your untamable desires
Then you should hide away your real true face
Avoiding and escaping from life

Get hurt
Get crushed
Know your weaknesses
You’re alone
But you’re not alone
Yes, you can never be lonely

You can’t see if you shut your eyes
So open them up and clench your fists

Dreams get us lost, but we’re not lost
We don’t need brakes
Go here, knock it out now
Step solidly on the accelerator and go

Kick out the minority’s weakness
Earnest heartbeats riding up
With emotions you’ll only feel today
Test your courage

Wishing for someone to notice
You keep silent
Even when you scream for help
It’s with your heart, not your voice

The bottom of our hearts
Are not just one
They have blue skies and darkness alike
“This isn’t right”
“This isn’t me”
There’s no time to get depressed like that

Just block up the holes in your heart
Gather up laughable memories and stuff it up

We can cheat our hearts, but we won’t
Being ourselves is good
When you want to laugh or shout
Puff out your chest and do it in a loud voice

Not getting buried by the majority
Earnest heartbeats riding up
If you believe in that path
Don’t ease up on it

“Hey, listen to me
Hey, look at me
Believe me
The truth known as you
Is my support
Believe me…Please!”

Dreams get us lost, but we’re not lost
We don’t need brakes
Go here, knock it out now
Step solidly on the accelerator and go

Kick out the minority’s weakness
Earnest heartbeats riding up
With emotions you’ll only feel today
Test your courage

Dreams are sad, sometimes cold
But no, we can’t stop
We won’t lie, it’ll be meaningless
We won’t give up yet

Everyone is lost, but we’re not lost
Because we’ve understood
Don’t wait for tomorrow
Test yourself

DNA狂詩曲 (DNA rapusodii) – DNA Rhapsody

from Mouretsu uchuu koukyoukyoku.Dai nana gakushou “mugen no ai” single.

——

To cry is your choice
To laugh is also your choice
So, what will you do? Decide…

BREEZE… Raising you with deep breaths
60 trillion cells
Face upwards and stretch

Despair… That’s an excuse for cowards
In this lapis lazuli-tainted universe and Earth
There’s no reason that you’re alone

EVERYDAY EVERYNIGHT, unstoppable heartbeats
That’s proof for tomorrow
ANYTIME ANYWHERE, chance is waiting
It’s just that there are no telltale signs

Live fast, don’t be late
Don’t hesitate
“Don’t stop anymore!”

I’ll push you on the back, I’ll give you a kick, I’ll stay loving you
Even so, if you still say that you’re alone, I’ll say “You’re an idiot!”

Hey, just by being with you
The genes are somehow smiling
About things like bonds
Now, there’s no need to talk about them
With our hands tightly held, let’s go

CRY… Tears will never run dry
They seep into your heart
And are restored as red blood

Life… Is a crossroads till we die
Simply believing is not enough
Because we’re both strong and weak

Everyone knows this
(But we’re still defeated by self-pity)
What is right and what is not
(It’s not a world that can be divided into good and evil)

Fight without corruption
Stand up
“We’re not crying anymore!”

Are you going to give up? Going to avert your eyes? Going to escape with tail tucked between your legs?
Are you going to block your eyes, mouth, and ears, and live like a monkey?

If sorrow is sure to come someday
We never know when it will come
If that’s the problem, then from now
Don’t linger any longer
Be ready and let’s fly out!

Reaching out with our right hands, what to do with our left?
Just use it to wipe away each other’s tears

You are my mirror, my heart, my yesterday and today and tomorrow…

I’ll push you on the back, I’ll give you a kick, I’ll stay loving you
Even so, if you still say that you’re alone, I’ll scream “You’re an idiot!”

Hey, just by being with you
The genes are somehow smiling
About things like bonds
Now, there’s no need to talk about them
Because I totally understand
Tightly, tightly, tightly, tightly
With our hands held, let’s go!
