光と影の日々 (Hikari to kage no hibi) – Days of light and shadow

from LOVE TRIP single.

——

How many more dreams will we dream?
How many more revolutions around the sun will we make?

What is that coming season telling us?
That the scenery we can see now isn’t everything

Even when the sunlight is blocked by clouds
The width of the sky won’t change
Even tomorrow…

If you wish for it
The light is right there
Reach out! Until you touch it
The sweat trailing down your skin
Is always beautiful
Your determination sparkles
Lighting up the way

How many more times do we have to overcome regret?
How many more rounds do we have to run around the field?

Victory? Defeat? What do they teach us?
Something important that burns as we shed tears

Because there is shadow in that corner
Hope will finally seep in, waiting
Someday…

Don’t look back
The light is before you
So believe in yourself
As long as you don’t give up
The sky will surely turn sunny
A too-bright dream
Reflected in your eyes

Yes
Everything is right there
The tall mountain you looked up at
The promised land always looks
To be so far away, but
Just step on the ground and progress

Now
The light is before you
So believe in yourself
As long as you don’t give up
The sky will surely turn sunny
A too-bright dream
Reflected in your eyes
Lighting up the way

How many more dreams will we dream?
Struggling and floundering, youth goes on

from LOVE TRIP single.

——

Today, you are
The most beautiful you’ve ever been
That pure white
Wedding dress
Fits your smile well

With that beloved person
Whom you’ve walked a long path with
This day of marriage
Is not a goal
But a beginning
That starts with the two of you

Share your happiness
And your life from now on
Share your tears too
So this promise lasts forever…

The days I spent
Bringing you up in the best way
So that I can pass the baton
To a future someone
Who loves you

Share your happiness
With family and friends
Then, show your weakness
Everyone is watching over you

You smile
He smiles
Papa and Mama too
As long as you smile
Everyone will smile

Share your happiness
And your life from now on
Share your tears too
So this promise lasts forever…

Share your happiness
With everyone around you
As long as you are happy
Everyone will be happy
Everyone will be happy

The city that we know
Just where did it go?
Vacant plots, small knolls, all gone
A scenery we’ve never seen before spread before us

Modifying our memories
We had become adults before we knew it
To the past or future?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
To the other side of time
LOVE TRIP
Let’s go back there
That time locked at the back of our hearts
I was there
LOVE TRIP
Where are you?
LOVE TRIP
Wanna see you
There’s something I’ve always forgot to tell you
Love has always somehow been overwritten
But I remember that first sorrow
Under the summer sky
Where I met you

You’re always smiling kindly
In our graduation photo
Whenever my heart broke
I gazed upon it countless times, a continuation of a dream

Back then, what kind of future
Did we imagine with much anticipation?
I can’t remember

I wanna do
LOVE TRIP
To search for you…
LOVE TRIP
Once again
A youth where we talked only of ideals
You were there
LOVE TRIP
What are you doing?
LOVE TRIP
Wanna see you
There’s something I’ve never been able to tell you
And I continue to regret to this day
About how I hid my feelings away…
If I don’t say “I love you”
Summer won’t end

What should I say if I meet you?
At a corner of the schoolyard, just like on that day
Now that I’ve become an adult
Have I become more honest?

I wanna go
LOVE TRIP
To the other side of time
LOVE TRIP
Let’s go back there
That time locked at the back of our hearts
I was there
LOVE TRIP
Where are you?
LOVE TRIP
Wanna see you
There’s something I’ve always forgot to tell you
Love never disappears, just covered up by the heart
So sometimes, I want to open it up
Under the blue summer sky
That makes me think of you

夢へのルート (Yume he no ruuto) – The route to dreams

from Tsubasa wa iranai single.

——

Lined up by my side
At the starting point
Were my comrades, born in the same era with the same dreams
From the moment the pistol rang out in the blue sky
The line breaks and the competition begins for all

The links finally spread out vertically
And ranked positions were established
Fast (fast) and slow (slow)
The difference appeared

The route climbing up a high mountain
It’s not the only one
There are people who choose the steep slope before their eyes
On the way to the peak
Where do I stand?
Once I know where I stand
Then I can strive on

The back of the one before me
Moves further away
We used to hold hands, but now I can’t reach them
We’d promised to combine strengths and hang on together
Are we rivals after all?

My breathing hurts, legs grow tired
And I want to stop
Front (front) and back (back)
I start to worry

The route climbing up a high mountain
It’s not the only one
There are people who choose the steep slope before their eyes
On the way to the peak
Where do I stand?
Once I know where I stand
Then I can strive on

There are no comrades by my side
And I feel loneliness, but
The road (road) goes on (goes on)
And we’ll meet again

A long route to our goals
Everyone has a different one
There are people who choose a long but certain path
Others will compliment
That I am running beautifully
And the amount of sweat I’ve shed
Will be noticed by someone

哀愁のトランペッター (Aishuu no toranpetta) – Sorrowful trumpeter

from Tsubasa wa iranai single.

——

A cabaret from long ago
Smoke from a cigar
Wearing my purple dress
I take a seat

This tedious
Domineering customer
Opening a bottle of Petrus
My smile for him is fake

Before he whispers in my ear
Shall we finally begin
This evening’s hunt?
(Mister, mister, over here)
Love’s game

The sorrowful brass
Resounds
The one I love
Is that band member
Who looks over at me
As he plays the trumpet
A sad solo part
His moving fingers
Make me remember last night

Splurging on tips
Even for the staff
This hateful bigwig
Who puts on airs

Even when I get called
There’s no joy
My real name
Is hidden by make-up

The mirrorball starts to spin
If I get invited to the hall
I can’t completely refuse
(Mister, mister, over here)
So formal

The sorrowful brass
Presses on my heart
I take peeks at
That band member
With his cheeks puffed
He plays a dream
As if screaming of love
His moist lips
Make me remember last night

A secret only the two of us knows
What a sexy sound
Tonight is, yes, special…
(Mister, mister, go to hell)
I belong to him

The sorrowful brass
Resounds
The one I love
Is that band member
Who looks over at me
As he plays the trumpet
A sad solo part
His moving fingers
Make me remember last night

考える人 (Kangaeru hito) – The thinker

from Tsubasa wa iranai single.

——

Am I a poet who talks about dreams?
Am I someone who peeks into hell?
My role wavers

“I want to get a glimpse”
We’ll think about it when we die, right?
Humans can’t help
But be indecisive

No matter which choice
I make
I definitely
Won’t be happy

Is it Dante?
Or is it Rodin?
What are you thinking of?
I ask, facing the bronze statue
Are you caught in a painful romance?
Or are you just a bystander?
You rest your chin in your hand, not telling

What you love
Nobody knows
You just won’t
Answer with the truth

Embracing two women
At the same time
Just hurting both
With gentle lies

Is it others?
Or is it yourself?
Who are you thinking of?
Towards our heaven just ahead…
The future is an illusion
At the entrance to hell
Let’s throw away all hope

Is it Dante?
Or is it Rodin?
What are you thinking of?
I ask, facing the bronze statue
Are you caught in a painful romance?
Or are you just a bystander?
You rest your chin in your hand, not telling

恋をすると馬鹿を見る (Koi wo suru to baka wo miru) – Love makes us fools

from Tsubasa wa iranai single.

A a a a a
A a a a a
WOW WOW
A a a a a
A a a a a
YEAH! YEAH!

Brushing past (Wait a minute! Wait a minute!)
Someone who looks like you (Is that you?! Is that you?!)
Your arms are linked with his (happily, happily)
A loving, foolish couple

A a a a a
A a a a a
YEAH! YEAH!

You said you’ve caught a cold (Wait a minute! Wait a minute!)
And are staying home (Is that you?! Is that you?!)
But why are you (How strange, how strange)
Walking past me with a guy right now?

“Just give up on that girl”
They whispered to me (But I believed)
No matter what rumors I hear
There’s no reason you would be like that
To me, you are…
(Special)

Love makes us fools
When it gets serious, we’re in trouble
I know that, but
Why do I still repeat this?
(A a a a)
Love makes us fools
We get hurt, but we still dream
It’s my fault for falling in love

A a a a a
A a a a a
WOW WOW
A a a a a
A a a a a

Our eyes meet (ominously, ominously)
And you finally notice (What are you doing? What are you doing?)
The guy next to you (Who is he? Who is he?)
Aah, is this what I think it means?

Girls’ advice
Are harsh (But so true)
Maybe I did have
A little bit of premonition
But it was alright…
(I loved you)

Love makes us hurt
We’ll lose if we love too wholeheartedly
No matter how old we get
Boys never learn
(A a a a)
Love makes us hurt
I’ll deny that I suspected anything
Even so, I’m at fault for loving you

I must have mistaken (someone for you)
She looked so much like you
Convincing myself, I walk on (alone)
Yes, nothing has changed
Even so, I…
(A a a a a)

Love makes us fools
When it gets serious, we’re in trouble
I know that, but
Why do I still repeat this?
(A a a a)
Love makes us fools
We get hurt, but we still dream
It’s my fault for falling in love

I love you, the fool admits

I don’t mind
If you don’t mind, I love you
Oh, What to do?

To be in love with someone
Isn’t that big of a deal

To let my own feelings develop
Straightforwardly, then express it

Even if I think about this and that
You can’t persuade a woman
So just do it, rather than rely on words
What do you think?

Set me free! Set me free!
There’s no procedures in feelings (Want you!)
Love Love Love Let me love you!
Totally bold (Want you!)
Hey! Girl!
Hey! Girl!
Are you going to say no?

If you’re untamed, I’ll tame you, but
I can’t make a move with you watching

Once you see the real me
And smile, it’s over

10 seconds, 1 minute, going on like this
Luck will never come
So I’ll knock just a little
Hold your hand!

Upside down, messy is good
There are no rules in love (Miss you!)
Kiss Kiss Kiss, hesitating
So you won’t notice (Miss you!)
Hey! Girl!
Hey! Girl!
It’s up to you

Let’s hurry up a little like this
With this midway love
Regretting Night & Day
So, what shall we do here?
Fall in love?
Kiss?
Do it now?
Or ignore it?

Even if I talk about love
I can’t persuade you
Who cares about reason
We just have to do it
So let’s be foolish!

Set me free! Set me free!
There’s no procedures in feelings (Want you!)
Love Love Love Let me love you!
Totally bold (Want you!)

Upside down, messy is good
There are no rules in love (Miss you!)
Kiss Kiss Kiss, hesitating
So you won’t notice (Miss you!)
Hey! Girl!
Hey! Girl!
It’s up to you

To be in love with someone
Isn’t that big of a deal
Hey! Girl!

翼はいらない (Tsubasa wa iranai) – Don’t need wings

from Tsubasa wa iranai single.

——

If I had wings
And could fly in the sky
Where would I visit?
I used to wonder…

Riding on that wind
Traversing the clouds
Now, I can’t think of
A place to aim for

Even if I can’t fly
I can walk there
There’s no hurry
Happiness will wait

Don’t need wings
As long as I have dreams
Stepping on the ground
Let’s walk on slowly

If I grew wings
I can be free
Go anywhere I want
And make my wishes come true

I also won’t be troubled
That I can’t see ahead
Even if unpleasant things appear before me
I can just look down upon it

Yet why
Do I choose to walk?
As I perspire
Happiness draws close

Don’t need wings
Because I have hope
Even if I meet with sorrow along the way
I’ll walk on earnestly

The birds in the sky
Watch over us
And think
They don’t (they don’t)
Have wings (have wings)
How great is that

Even if I can’t fly
I can still walk, so
With what I currently possess
I can be happy

Don’t need wings
I’m good as I am
The faraway end of the road
Let’s walk while dreaming of it

Let’s walk while dreaming of it

It burns, Oh!
Only once, Oh!
If you’re going to set love on fire
Then don’t go easy
It burns, Oh!
This body, Oh!
If you love me from your heart
Turn into ash!

My lips are
Always wet, but, Oh!
Why is it that when
They overlap with yours, they become so hot?

From my back
Around my waist, I’m pulled close by your arm
Feeling it
Let me whisper “I love you”
Immoral

From the rooftop onto the expressway
The light shining on the advert boards
Drives the distance between our gazes crazy

Love is, Oh!
Unstoppable, Oh!
Even if the gods don’t forgive us
We’ve crossed the line
Love is, Oh!
Unbreakable, Oh!
Together with pain, let’s
Fall into hell

Destiny
Flows on without doubling back
Within an instant
Desire always moves towards destruction in a
One way Road

Even as the sirens running along the road shoulder
Hunt down those who have sinned
It condemns the love between our embrace

It burns, Oh!
Only once, Oh!
If you’re going to set love on fire
Then don’t go easy
It burns, Oh!
This body, Oh!
If you love me from your heart
Turn into ash!

(Love Ash) What is left?
(Love Ash) After forgiving the other
(Love Ash…)
In the wind…

I know that this is the ending
Surely the two of us will end in misfortune
If this flame can be put out
I’ll accept any punishment
For love, even a lover’s suicide is alright
What shall we do?

Love is, Oh!
Unstoppable, Oh!
Even if the gods don’t forgive us
We’ve crossed the line
Love is, Oh!
Unbreakable, Oh!
Together with pain, let’s
Fall into hell

(Love Ash) Leaving nothing behind
(Love Ash) Without anyone noticing
(Love Ash…)
Will you smile?
