Ano koro no gohyakuen dama – AKB48

あの頃の五百円玉 (Ano koro no gohyakuen dama) – The 500yen coin back then


from Negaigoto no mochigusare single.

——

A 500yen coin
With just a single coin
I thought that I could buy anything
Back then, I was still a child

In the back of that drawer
I found it by chance
I’d received it from grandma a long time ago
Probably as a reward

It was a waste to break it into smaller coins
So I hid in at the bottom of the pencil case with the broken lid
Until the time someday when I had something I really wanted
Then I would use it

The 500yen coin
Was my treasure
I didn’t tell family nor friends of its location
It was a secret that only I knew
On the palm of my hand
A silver coin, ah
Gripping it tightly, if I could be strong
I believed any dream would come true

On sorrowful nights, without a sound
I checked on it at the back of the drawer by moonlight
If things get worse, I’d take that coin out
And escape to an unknown city

The 500yen coin
Was my ally
I continued to treasure it into adulthood
No matter when, it gave my anxious self some courage
‘It’s just a small sum’
Someone said to me, ah
Even now, it is a priceless cost to me
A saving of memory I’ll never spend

The 500yen coin
Was my treasure
I didn’t tell family nor friends of its location
It was a secret that only I knew
On the palm of my hand
A silver coin, ah
Gripping it tightly, if I could be strong
I believed any dream would come true

Tenmetsu pheromone – AKB48

点滅フェロモン (Tenmetsu feromon) – Flickering pheromone


from Negaigoto no mochigusare single.

——

Don’t blink
Look only at me
The moment you close your eyes
You’ll miss
The way
My lips move?

Don’t even breathe
Focus harder
Come, strain your ears
My quietly
Emitting
Words, hear them well…

The cheap loves you’ve had so far
Don’t put me in that category, it’s bothersome
If you want to embrace me
Then do as I say

Flickering
Desire and morals
Let’s do something better
Flickering
Devil or angel
Why are you hesitating?
Flicking
Love hazard
Can’t avoid the risks
Pheromones
Flickering

Your desire in honesty
Strip it all away
Don’t hide away any longer
Come here…
My bare skin
Stroked by trailing sweat

I’ll give you the best pleasure
That you’ve never experienced
I don’t know about you, but
I can’t deny you

Prickling
Rules and taboos
Let’s do more forbidden things
Prickling
Lies or truth
That’s just a foolish illusion
Prickling
Sinful Blinking
Don’t give excuses
Regrets are
Flickering

Flickering
Desire and morals
Let’s do something better
Flickering
Devil or angel
Why are you hesitating?
Flicking
Love hazard
Can’t avoid the risks
Pheromones
Flickering

前触れ (Maebure) – Herald


from Negaigoto no mochigusare single.

——

We’ve been friends (we’ve been friends)
Since a long time ago (since a long time ago)
We were so close, we couldn’t see each other romantically
You had a boyfriend (you had a boyfriend)
I had a girlfriend (I had a girlfriend)
We both had lovers
Everyone was happy then

Where and what started to change?
We can’t go back to that time…

Love’s (love’s) herald (herald)
Looks like a blue sky without clouds
Forever (seemed to) stretch on forever (as expected)
It’s a sunny day, but a sprinkling (of raindrops)
Why did I fall for you?

It was coincidence (it was coincidence)
That we touched (that we touched)
That instant when we felt pain in our hands
A current passed (a current passed)
Sparks flew (sparks flew)
As if something
Had awakened in a corner of our hearts…

If only we hadn’t noticed
That slumbering feeling

Regretful (regretful) herald (herald)
I experienced and knew it for the first time
Amongst all (so many) of my friends (why only you?)
Why do you make me nervous? I’ve wondered (many times)
Why did I sin?

Love’s (love’s) herald (herald)
If it really exists, I didn’t sense it
Surely (such a thing) is impossible (I repeated)
Yet we were pulled together by the power (of belief)
That was love

イマパラ (Imapara) – Now-para



from Negaigoto no mochigusare single.

——

Stop
Don’t look at me with those eyes
I mean
I’m not even interested in you…

Sorry
Just get lost from this place
Well
To men, a ‘no thank you’

More more more
Wanna dance

Now para-para
Why para-para?
I don’t remember it, yet…
Now para-para
Still para-para
On my DNA’s level…
I move by instinct
To the Eurobeat…
Forgetting time
Late-night now-para

I’m
Sorry, but I’m good being alone
Both hands
That move is so nostalgic

Always always always
In a dreamy state of mind

From now-now
Come para-para
From our mama’s era
From now-now
Just para-para
A dance of memory…
I wasn’t born then
But I remember it
Everyone together
Revived now-para

Just dance the para-para
And even painful things
Can be forgotten
OH!

Now para-para
Why para-para?
I don’t remember it, yet…
Now para-para
Still para-para
On my DNA’s level…
I move by instinct
To the Eurobeat…
Forgetting time
Late-night now-para

願いごとの持ち腐れ (Negaigoto no mochigusare) – Unused wishes



from Negaigoto no mochigusare single.

——

If people can use magic
To make one dream come true
Surely, everyone in this world
Will be happy

Tears (even a drop) and such (yes, surely)
Nobody will shed them (my hope)
The seeds (the seeds) of sorrow
Will all (all) disappear

Unused wishes
Just a moment of magic
Makes all desires come forth
I can’t decide right away
And while I hesitate, twilight comes

One day, over a trivial matter
Two people started to fight
Without thinking, I wished
For them to make up…

For (I’ve searched) me (for a path of life)
Just a single (chance)
A precious (precious) magic
Here (here) I’ll use it

No regrets over my wishes
Selfish ones just make me hesitate
For someone in this world
If I wish for them, we’ll become one
Smiles are dawn’s love

Unused wishes
I don’t wish for magic
There are many dreams I want fulfilled
But as long as I can discover
My true wish, that’s happiness

Hikari no naka he – AKB48

光の中へ (Hikari no naka he) – Into the light


from LOVE TRIP single.

——

As many small coincidences occured together
An invisible row of dominoes started to fall
I wanted to keep these feelings in my heart hidden, yet
I was drenched in the heat radiating from those emotions

Please don’t look at me
With that kind expression…

Into the light (into the light)
Come on in alone
Now, let’s not hurry (not hurry) here
Out from the shadows (out from the shadows)
Slowly at your own pace
Love will shine upon (shine upon) loneliness
Can I step out if I just close my eyes?
I wander lost before this too-dazzling love

When you met with a huge failure
And decided that you don’t want any more romance
Not wanting to hurt, you don’t want me to see your tears
In that case, yes, I’ll just look the other way

But when I’m near you
I just need to care

Towards a bright place (towards a bright place)
Come out now, walk on
There’s nothing to be afraid of (to be afraid of), so quietly
Inside my heart (inside my heart)
It’s ok to take a peek in, a brand new
Love will always (always) change everything
Giving form to the power of belief
Be brave, things won’t start unless you walk out

The trees swayed in the passing breeze
Sunlight spread below my feet

Into the light (into the light)
Come on in alone
Now, let’s not hurry (not hurry) here
Out from the shadows (out from the shadows)
Slowly at your own pace
Love will shine upon (shine upon) loneliness
Can I step out if I just close my eyes?
I wander lost before this too-dazzling love

2016年のInvitation (2016nen no Invitation) – 2016’s Invitation


from LOVE TRIP single.

——

Won’t you invite me? I’m really excited about it
Going (going) with everyone (everyone) to a summer camp
I’m worried because I heard there’s a participant quota
But if I don’t (don’t) get invited (invited), I’ll be really down

Riding on a large bus heading to the forest
Together with my gang of friends
Somehow, I just feel so cheerful
Let’s sing

Someone will (someone will) always
Find me
Even if I don’t stand out
I’m not forgotten
I just (I just) go at my own pace, it’s fine
Tomorrow, more good things will happen
Than what I expect

I felt lonely because I wasn’t invited last year
So I’m concerned (concerned) about the girl (the girl) who can’t come this time
But this is a chance to discover a new me
Back then (back then), I thought (I thought) so too

Leaving the trees, amidst the refreshing breeze
We breathe in the same air
And I thought about the meaning of friends
And our bonds

Everyone will (everyone will) be waiting
For me at that place
Yes, as long as I believe in my dreams
They will come for me
Next year (next year), I definitely want her to come too
People are much kinder than what we think
Watching over each other

If only we had a larger bus
Everyone could ride together, but
I think we won’t be able to grow
With rivals

Someone will (someone will) always
Find me
Even if I don’t stand out
I’m not forgotten
I just (I just) go at my own pace, it’s fine
Tomorrow, more good things will happen
Than what I expect

Invitation

Kishi ga mieru umi kara – AKB48

岸が見える海から (Kishi ga mieru umi kara) – Out at sea looking at the cliff


from LOVE TRIP single.

——

Gliding on the sea stirred by the wind
On the pure white dinghy
Racing each other around the cape
A story of sun and sky

Your feelings for me
It’s as if I don’t understand them
Through the past 3 years
Hoping to deliver my feelings
I wrote a love letter

If it’s YES, then wave
Your beach towel from the cliff
So I can see it even far out at sea
Then jump with all your might
But if it’s NO, then quietly
Watch my love sail away
And I’ll pass you by at full speed
As if nothing unusual has happened

Fishes jumping in the silver waves
This heart is throbbing
Just a little more, and that beach
Will be abreast with this romance

My body
Has sunken to the waterline
Sorrowful romancing heart
I’m afraid to learn the answer
Feeling nervous

If it’s YES, then wave
Your beach towel from the cliff
So I can see it even far out at sea
Then jump with all your might
But if it’s NO, then quietly
Watch my love sail away
And I’ll pass you by at full speed
As if nothing unusual has happened

For some reason, a large crowd
Are waving their beach towels
While sending this sign to me
You remain calm
You must have read my love letter
Understood and found some help
So that I can see it from afar
I LOVE YOU overflowing on the cliff

進化してねえじゃん (Shinka shitenee jan) – We have not evolved


from LOVE TRIP single.

——

Can’t see anything but you
Can’t help but love you so much
Ah, this simple emotion
What should I do about it?
I’m gonna explode

Have humans, since ancient times
Always faced such troubles?
The bones of my burning heart have fossilized

We have not evolved at all
Yes, always always always
We’ve never understood love
We have not evolved at all
Just seriously, seriously, seriously
Look, even the monkeys are laughing
I’ll shed my T-shirt and run naked
While shouting out
“I love you”

I think about you 24/7
Like you so much that I can only sigh
Ah, if I was just an animal, surely
I would immediately court you
On instinct…

If you rejected me, I won’t be able to get back up again
Thinking about that
My brain feels heavy with possibilities

Maybe we should degenerate a little
Yes, I mean, I mean, I mean
Shouldn’t action come before reason?
Maybe we should degenerate a little
Now, for desire, desire, desire
Let’s live without pretense
Can’t help but be embarrassed by my sweat and tears
I’ll rage on because
“I love you”

We have not evolved at all
Yes, always always always
We’ve never understood love
We have not evolved at all
Just seriously, seriously, seriously
Look, even the monkeys are laughing
I’ll shed my T-shirt and run naked
While shouting out
“I love you”

Densetsu no sakana – AKB48

伝説の魚 (Densetsu no sakana) – Legendary fish


from LOVE TRIP single.

——

I’ve been swimming ever since I was born, yet
I’m still far from reaching the horizon
Living my life in a corner of this vast ocean
There was no way I knew anything about other worlds

Tears of sorrow lost
Not even realizing that I’m crying
I stand facing the current

I can see the sky so clearly right there, yet
I have no wings to soar on the wind
Just looking up at the faraway light
Will my entire life be spent here?
Dreams exist above the surface
Even if I can never reach it
I jump upon the waves again and again
Someday, I’ll become
A legendary fish

“If you go up out of the sea, you’ll die”
My comrades whispered to me many times
“The sunlight and wind will dry you out, you can’t do anything”
Even my tiny modest hopes were finally dashed

It’ll be easier if I give up
If I can’t even reverse my own fate
Then life is meaningless

The birds are free, looking down upon the sea, but
They don’t have the means to swim in the water
Just gazing upon the sparkling surface
Can you comprehend life from where you are?
Dreams are always at the bottom of the ocean
To be searched for by diving deep
Circling around again and again
The cowardly birds do nothing more
I don’t want to be like them

I can see the sky so clearly right there, yet
I have no wings to soar on the wind
Just looking up at the faraway light
Will my entire life be spent here?
Dreams exist above the surface
Even if I can never reach it
I jump upon the waves again and again
Someday, I’ll become
A legendary fish
