UZA comes from the term うざい (uzai) which means annoying.

from UZA single.

——

You should just love the way you do
Don’t think about who the other person is
You should just love the way you think you should
If fate deems it, he may love you back…

Even if you get hurt
Even if you hurt
If you’re serious about it, then
You won’t even notice
No way

Just start with a kiss
Rather than reason
Let your emotions crash
Do it!
Just start with a kiss
Holding onto his neck
Yes, in place of a greeting…

Do you understand the meaning of love?
He won’t be charmed just by your kindness
Do you understand the power of love?
It can steal everything once your eyes meet with his

Is she his girlfriend?
It doesn’t matter
Every time you think about morals
You’ll black out
Black out

Just end with a dream
Rather than strategize
Throw away your pride!
Do it!
Just end with a dream
How should you confess?
Yes, you don’t need the answer

Uza…Uza…Uza…
Wilfully
Uza…Uza…Uza…
Freely
Uza…Uza…Uza…
Offensive monologue
Uza…Uza…Uza…
Suddenly
Uza…Uza…Uza…
Exciting
Uza…Uza…Uza…
Your only prologue

You’re annoying

You should just love the way you do
Don’t think about who the other person is
You should just love the way you think you should
If fate deems it, he may love you back…

3つの涙 (Mittsu no namida) – 3 tears

from Manatsu no Sounds good! single.

—–

Within that graceful smile of yours
A warmth like sunshine resides
Whenever I feel down
Just looking at you brings me relief

Regretting unexpected happenings
Has no meaning. The important things begin
From now on

There are 3 tears
Dripping down my cheek
Sad tears, happy tears
Other than that…
There are 3 tears
Everyone has
Sad tears, happy tears
And one more

Forgive the past
Prepare for the future
For the next new tears

Even if you put that pain into words
There will surely be no tenderness
When you feel unhappy
Just wait patiently without struggle

Even when I turn my back, rejecting consolation
As long as you’re there, hope surges
From now on

There are 3 futures
Yes, anytime…
Moving forward, standing still
Other than that…
There are 3 futures
Everyone has to choose
Moving forward, standing still
And one more

Just smile gently
And it’ll sparkle
Determination is invisible tears

All these thrilling overflowing emotions
Are the real things. Shall we begin?
From now on

There are 3 tears
Dripping down my cheek
Sad tears, happy tears
Other than that…
There are 3 tears
Everyone has
Sad tears, happy tears
And one more

Forgive the past
Prepare for the future
For the next new tears

真夏のSounds good! (Manatsu no Sounds good!) – Midsummer’s Sounds good!

from Manatsu no Sounds good! single.

—–

“Put some sun oil on my back!”
Unfastening your bikini top, you lay sprawled
That one phrase from the bold you
Carries a
Sugary scent

Blue seas and skies everywhere
Just like our relationship
Though the horizons had changed
Yes, you are still like a selfish little sis now

Midsummer’s Sounds good!
Whispering that
I want to move on to the next step
On love’s curriculum
The waves Sounds good!
My heart is pounding
Even more than last year
I’m so much more serious now

Tanning on the beach
Leaving you, I go for a swim alone
After that, our sudden kiss
Stank of salt

The scenery which we’ve been seeing so far
I feel that even the air has changed
The sea and sky are heading towards each other
Yes, they’re reflecting that matching blue

The shore’s Good job!
My precious one
I never could say how sad this is
You’re just too close
Chance, Good job!
I’ve become honest
Let’s reach out our hands
It’s the season for love!

Midsummer’s Sounds good!
Whispering that
I want to move on to the next step
On love’s curriculum
The waves Sounds good!
My heart is pounding
Even more than last year
I’m so much more serious now

Midsummer’s Sounds good!
I like you
The waves Sounds good!
I can finally say it
The shore’s Good job!
I like you
Chance, Good job!
Such good timing

Midsummer’s Sounds good!

スイート&ビター (Suiito & Bitaa) – Sweet & Bitter

Performed by Selection 6.

from GIVE ME FIVE! single.

—–

Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Look, in the box
They’re all lined up
The jewels of sweets
Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
You can only have one
Yes, it’s lost within
My message

Melting in your mouth
My feelings reach out to you
It’s embarrassing
I can’t say it out in words
It’s like secrets et cetera
Aside from the interested parties
Noone else knows
Everyone around us
Unaware of this confession

Love
Should have been so fun, but
Why
Does my heart feel so sad?
So sweet
But bitter

Hey, how about this one?
Chocolate
Look, my heart is pounding
And throbbing
The gift of romance
Hey, how about this one?
Chocolate
They all look the same, but
Yes, they’re all different inside
I love you!

The things you like
Of course, I should have known
Sugar and milk
And coffee, all in one
Just like a child
Yes, if it’s too bitter
You can’t eat it, right?
Even so, I wish
That you will pick me, seriously

Cocoa
Lots of that inside
But somehow
I want to close my eyes
You understand the bitterness

Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Look, in the box
They’re all lined up
The jewels of sweets
Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
You can only have one
Yes, it’s lost within
My message

Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Well, right from the start
You’ve already decided, right?
That one right at the end
Hey, which will you pick?
Chocolate
Not just sweet
Yes, just try me out
It’ll be stimulating

My bitterness is real

ゼロサム太陽 (Zero Samu Taiyou) – Zero Sum Sun

Performed by Team K.

from Ue kara Mariko single.

—–

The speed at which sunset comes is faster today than yesterday
Before I leave, I wish to speak with you

Because I noticed the troubled look in your eyes
I wanted to shine light on the shadows inside your heart

If you do get together with someone you love
It’s alright, just tell me
Now

Zero sum sun
As the sun rises somewhere
Surely, in that same moment somewhere else, the sun will set
Zero sum sun
You only have one heart
If it can shine with someone’s love
I will go quietly

The monochrome city streets slowly sink into silence
Can I ask this of you, treating it as a joke?

Confused by the turns of love, your lost expression
Overflows with sympathy and looks so sad

Let’s say, even if you choose to say goodbye
I won’t regret what we used to be
Now

Zero sum, the two of us
As something comes within our grasp
In return, something else will crumble away in our hands
Zero sum, the two of us
Just what are the bonds we should believe in?
Choosing to devote to unrequited love
I’ll just have to accept the future

These memories are so beautiful
Nobody was truly at fault here
Please be happy and full of smiles!

Zero sum
Zero sum sun
As the sun rises somewhere
Surely, in that same moment somewhere else, the sun will set
Zero sum sun
You only have one heart
If it can shine with someone’s love
I will go quietly

from GIVE ME FIVE! single.

We are not afraid
Of the darkness before dawn
Even if we can’t watch our step
It’ll be alright as long as
We believe we can overcome
All obstacles

We will not flinch away
Even if we fall over midway
And scrape our kneecaps
We’ll just brush off the dirt
And stand up again

Just how many of the seniors before us
Remember the feel of this thundering heartbeat?

Bring out the new ship!
Hoist the sails of dreams!
Push straight ahead
Towards the oceans of the next era!
All you new sailors
Believe in your comrades!
Don’t rely on that map or compass!
Let the winds guide our helm!

We will not run away
Even if we get hurt
And red blood is shed
Just leave it alone, and someday
It’ll become just a scab

Just how many of the ships before us
Have crossed the straits before their eyes?

Bring out the new ship!
Steer through the tempest waves!
The land we’ve always been searching for
Is right behind this sorrow
All you bearers of the future
Combine your power!
Everyone shares the same fate
Our goal, the horizon!

Bring out the new ship!
Hoist the sails of dreams!
The ways of old sailors
It’s ok not to follow them
Standing on the same deck!
We become one
Feeling the joy of life!
Let the winds guide our helm!

隣人は傷つかない (Rinjin wa kizutsukanai) – Neighbours don’t get hurt

Performed by Team A.

from Ue kara Mariko single.

—–

Neighbours don’t get hurt
From the other side of the wall, flirty
Voices of young lovers
Shaking my cup of milk
It’s the time for love

Just what does everyone want,
This thing that they believe in?
The answer is irresponsibility
Turning my TV’s volume
To be MAX
I plug my ears up

I won’t get hurt
In just this one moment, happiness
And love, so selfishly…
I won’t get hurt
I’m just a neighbour
As long as I stay on this side, it’s Safety

As if to stifle the voices
Love changes into a lethal weapon
Amidst shouts and crying noises
The cup is smashed

Why do we see foolish dreams
And wait so expectantly?
It’s just to bury loneliness
I slowly lift up the pot’s lid
And make a stew
Of other people’s problems

As long as I don’t touch with my bare hands
My heart won’t be scalded
I know this through experience
As long as I don’t touch with my bare hands
I can live in peace, but
Yes, loneliness is always Safety

I won’t get hurt
In just this one moment, happiness
And love, so selfishly…
I won’t get hurt
I’m just a neighbour
As long as I stay on this side, it’s Safety

君の背中 (Kimi no senaka) – Your Back

Performed by Undergirls.

from Kaze wa fuiteiru single.

—–

Amid the crowd heading towards the train station
Waiting at the traffic intersection
I spotted you standing there, but
You remain oblivious to my gaze

Everyone around you
I see them as rivals
That’s my personality
Unable to step forward

Your back is always
So far away and unreachable
I just stay and wait
For you to turn around
Even if I cry out, surely
My voice will be erased by this city’s noise
My feelings of love
Have lost their destination

Are you, by chance, a person who does not notice
How someone close by is in love with you?
Don’t tell me, that that is how
I have been seeing you…

Amongst the boys
I’m just one of them
That’s my existence
Surely, just one of them

In the face of love
One can’t be without confidence
Can’t seem indifferent
And try to avoid it
Even when we are apart by just a bit
I want you to be just mine
Let’s speak with smiles
In our hearts

Hello
Hello
Hello
(I love you)
Even as I think that
(Monologue)
I start to walk
Towards your back
Hello
Hello
Hello
(I love you)
Even with this chance
(So far away)
This misery

Your back is always
So far away and unreachable
I just stay and wait
For you to turn around
Even if I cry out, surely
My voice will be erased by this city’s noise
My feelings of love
Have lost their destination

Yobisute Fantajii (呼び捨てファンタジー) – Drop the Honorifics Fantasy

Performed by Team B.

from Ue Kara Mariko single.

—–

In the crowded cafeteria
I was having lunch with friends
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw you
And though I was having a happy time

You suddenly called my name
And I got a shock
You added a “-san” behind my name…

I want you to drop the honorifics
Act like my boyfriend
In front of everyone
And just be affectionate
I want you to drop the honorifics
Like you’ve let it slip out unawares
Please, drop the honorifics fantasy

It’s been half a year since we met
The distance between us should have shrunk
My feelings should have reached you
Our love should have upgraded

But you’re still so formal now
So far away
Stop with the “desu” and “masu”

I don’t want your concern
If you really like me
Just say it out loud
I don’t mind
I don’t want your concern
Don’t hide your heart away
Too bad, don’t want your concern fantasy

A girl’s dream
“She’s my girlfriend”
Is to hear a guy say this

I want you to drop the honorifics
Act like my boyfriend
In front of everyone
And just be affectionate
I want you to drop the honorifics
Like you’ve let it slip out unawares
Please, drop the honorifics fantasy
