青い光 (Aoi hikari) – Blue light

from Yume no naka no massugu na michi album.

——

A piercing sunny day

Again and again, as if confirming it, you repeat the words “I like you”
Non-stop words, without waiting for my reply
The tips of these hands embracing you
Were numb with cold from the wind blowing through

Even though you can’t express it well

It’s not the first time I’ve looked up at the sky, but
Somehow, it seemed more beautifully ephemeral than usual
That is just like you as you waved
A piercing sunny day

I cannot decide on my heart’s destination
But I somehow wish to smile more tomorrow

Even if it’s for the last time

If I can live strong through these long days
I want to meet you at my side, as you change colours
Even the sorrow noone knows of
Even your slightly embarrassing kindness

Even though you can’t express it well, I can’t do it too
It’s just sad, I like you, I like you

It’s not the first time I’ve looked up at the sky, but
Somehow, it seemed more beautifully ephemeral than usual
That is just like you as you waved
A piercing sunny day

木星 (Mokusei) – Jupiter

from Aki soba ni iru yo album.

——

In order to deliver my feelings to you
With all this untold impatience
I cry lots and laugh lots
In front of you

Our time may just be a speck of dust in the universe
The careless gestures I show sometimes may only be 1 split second
Goodbye, let’s start off again when we reach Jupiter

The fallen leaves bury our feet
They’re beautiful, but I hate how they obstrust us
Looking down, the dripping sweat
Melts the unforgettable, hot memories

Because you are kind, I entrust my hands and feet and bonds to you
Let’s welcome beginnings, endings, mornings and darkness together
So let’s separate, then grow tired, then fall asleep once more

Embracing all that can be delivered with both hands
As I fly down from the sky

Our time may just be a speck of dust in the universe
The careless gestures I show sometimes may only be 1 split second
Goodbye, let’s start off again when we reach Jupiter

ウミウサギ (Umi usagi) – Rabbit of the sea

from Himitsu album.

——

A drop of sweat slowly made its way down my neck, I was so shocked by your words
“Shall we stay together forever?”
You nervously said to me

We came out to sea, the night is just beginning
The sounds of our repeated breaths and hearts

Hidden between fingernails, orange sand of the evening stars
You are mine, I am yours
Always… Always…

The waves which you swam on to reach here long ago pulled at my feet now

Someday, when my heart finds it natural
We can reach the end of this sea

Not afraid even of the dark, faraway light from the countless stars
You are here, I can feel your breath
Always… Always…

Orange sand of the stars
You are mine, I am yours
Always… Always…

彼の落書き (Kare no rakugaki) – His scribbles

from Akatsuki no love letter album.

——

No contact from you again today, I’m sure you must be really busy
I still can’t clear this stage in my game, so I throw in all prayers and challenge it again

I wish that the phone will ring for me tomorrow, with a loud ringing tone

My feelings for you never drop, never fall, never disappear
Certain like the scribbles throughout my body
My eyes are red and puffy, rubbed raw
So quickly embrace me tightly with those arms

I seem to be losing out to the sky today, as it moves on without clinging on to anything

Nothing will change if I wait, so I open up my tightly-bound diary once more

My heart echoes your passing footsteps
I want to always, always be drunk on that sound
I only want to know the beginning, I don’t need any ending
Hold me tight to your chest

Hey, melt this lumpy, frozen heart immediately
You, who pretend not to know as you pass nonchalantly by before my eyes

My feelings for you never drop, never fall, never disappear
Certain like the scribbles throughout my body
My eyes are red and puffy, rubbed raw
So quickly embrace me tightly with those arms

Aka – Red

from Toki no silhouette album.

——

How do you think of me?
That, that causes me anxiety everyday
Whether I can enjoy my life today is also in your hands
Even on days when we’re far away and can’t meet, I wish to live well
No matter what rumours are spread, I don’t wish for you to leave me and go far away

I can’t say it honestly, I can’t make myself disappear
Even though I get depressed over small things and can’t pick myself up

The world which is spreading out before our eyes now is found within our happiness
I see your blurred face across from me
It’s such a waste to cry, it’s such a waste to cry

I may not fall asleep tonight, because I don’t want us to be ever apart
I want to be with you in dreams and darkness too, but what can I do if I can’t have that?

Just what is the fragrance of this heart, which is transparent to you to its depths?
You understand even the places which noone knows

The world which is spreading out before our eyes now is certain proof that your eyes are alive
The cheek you gently caressed turns red
It’s such a waste to cry, it’s such a waste to cry

Within the noisy crowd, the two of us held hands, never separating
With a grip stronger than the words “I love you”

The world which is spreading out before our eyes now is found within our happiness
I see your blurred face across from me
It’s such a waste to cry, it’s such a waste to cry
