挨拶から始めよう (Aisatsu kara hajimeyou) – Let’s start with a greeting

from Green Flash single.

——

Try giving a greeting with a smile
When you spot that person you have a crush on
It’s ok to feel awkward
That’s all you can do now
Love always takes the long route

Wow! My heart is racing
Just by imagining things…
My cheeks are burning
And my palms are sweating

Ah! Should our eyes meet
I may just look away…
My heart feels like it’s going to burst out
It’s normal to feel nervous, right?

The morning sunlight is my ally
The green trees sway in the wind
In order to make it a wonderful day
The birds are singing

Try giving a greeting with a smile
It can’t be helped if it comes out in a tiny voice
Take things slowly
And your voice will come out
Someday, that person will turn to face you
Try giving a greeting with a smile
When you spot that person you have a crush on
It’s ok to feel awkward
That’s all you can do now
Love always takes the long route

Yes, there’s no need to worry
About the others around you
The protagonists here
Are you and that person

What’s important is continuity
Today, tomorrow and the day after too…
Unchanging feelings are always there
As long as the sun shines

Let’s start the relationship from 1
Let that person know of your existence
There’s no need to talk
Just a smile is enough
And anyone, anyone will surely return the smile
Let’s start the relationship from 1
Every couple starts with distance between them
But after attraction pulls them together
And they wish to know all about the other
They will turn to face each other

To fall in love with someone
Is to fall in love with the world

Try giving a greeting with a smile
It can’t be helped if it comes out in a tiny voice
Take things slowly
And your voice will come out
Someday, that person will turn to face you
Try giving a greeting with a smile
When you spot that person you have a crush on
It’s ok to feel awkward
That’s all you can do now
Love always takes the long route

春の光　近づいた夏 (Haru no hikari chikazuita natsu) – Spring light, approaching summer

from Green Flash single.

——

You are spring light
I am approaching summer
If we meet
In the wind
I can feel that something will happen
You are spring light
I am approaching summer
The two mixing together
To form love’s color

Dressed in a
Thin cardigan
You stand waiting
For some friend
Wearing my
Favorite short-sleeved shirt
I wait alone
Killing time

I want to speak to you
But my voice won’t come
There’s a distance between us
I don’t wish you
To think that I’m the player type
So I decide to wait a little more
For the seasons to overlap

You are the blue sky
I am the sun’s color
Side by side
So refreshing
We really go so well together
You are the blue sky
I am the sun’s color
Hey, let’s fall in
Burning love

I always
Believe
That the one known as destiny
Will lead us towards good things…
Every one of us
Yes, always dreams
Spring, summer, autumn, winter
Of meeting someone

Now, right here
Just looking at you
Makes me really happy
And when the next season
Finally comes around
Will you take off
Your cardigan for me?

You are spring light
I am approaching summer
If we meet
In the wind
I can feel that something will happen
You are spring light
I am approaching summer
The two mixing together
To form love’s color

Thinking of spring
Gazing at summer
Becoming the bud of romance
You and I
Are just like
Seasonal flowers

At this street corner
We met by coincidence
In that one moment
I alone
On my side
Saw a dream

You are the blue sky
I am the sun’s color
Side by side
So refreshing
We really go so well together
You are the blue sky
I am the sun’s color
Hey, let’s fall in
Burning love

バラの儀式 (Bara no gishiki) – Rose ritual

from Bara no gishiki single.

——

Even if you hold a knife
If you don’t touch it, blood won’t flow
If I had not met you
I won’t be hurt and cry thus

What (what) had I forsaken? (had I forsaken?)
What had I gained?
You (you) are one
But you love two women

What a cruel thing
This ritual called love
One will be cut off with a slice in the future
What a wonderful thing
To reaffirm reality
After arranging these beloved roses
You cut off the branches of one

Not knowing that you have a girlfriend
Your hypocritical crocodile tears hurt my heart
With so many flowers blooming
Will pruning a few out save the rest?

I (I) will give up (will give up)
You can go back to before
You (you) alone
I don’t want you to be the bad guy

What a transcient thing
Love’s ending
Having decided in my heart, there’s nothing to do but leave now
What a real thing
A woman’s egoism
Unaware, she stands in the sun
Becoming a beautiful flower

What a cruel thing
This ritual called love
One will be cut off with a slice in the future
What a wonderful thing
To reaffirm reality
After arranging these beloved roses
You cut off the branches of one

失恋同盟 (Shitsuren doumei) – Jilted alliance

from Shitsuren doumei single.

——

Even if you deny, saying that it’s all a lie (really?)
He is still going to get married
We were both once his girlfriend (and then)
We were, sadly, quickly dumped

We used to be rivals in the past
Working hard not to lose out to each other
Just hearing
Tiny rumours about the other
Always made us feel jealousy

He is not the only man
The world is so vast
There are others
Yes, let’s believe
He is not the only man
Just look, there are many more
Wipe away your tears
Let’s hang on, jilted alliance

Hurt and regretful, you can cry (boo-hoo)
And trash his reputation, but
We will just end up sighing (sigh~)
And reflecting on our trickling affections

We used to try to drag at each other’s heels
Insulting and gossiping about the other, but
We are now
Best friends
Our common enemy is his fiancée

What’s so good about her? I don’t know
She’s not even that cute…
As for her personality
She surely has a bad side
What’s so good about her? I don’t know
He really can’t pick at all
We’ll make each other happy
Let’s promise, jilted alliance

But, hey
Yes, I know, hey
There may not be anyone better than him…

He is not the only man
The world is so vast
There are others
Yes, let’s believe
He is not the only man
Just look, there are many more
Wipe away your tears
Let’s hang on, jilted alliance

誰が2人を出会わせたのか？ (Dare ga futari wo deawaseta no ka?) – Who allowed us to meet?

from Team Surprise 2014 10th Single – Dare ga futari wo deawaseta no ka? single.

——

Lalala…
Lalala…

I can sense it 100 metres ahead
That I’ll catch something of yours
To put it as a scientific theory
It’s just an unexplainable something

No matter where I go or what I do
You and I will unite
We’re compatible, even without words
This man and woman’s theory of evolution

WOW WOW
Our souls surely
Came from the same world
Like breathing in
Like breathing out
Love is synchronicity

Who allowed us to meet?
Everyone calls it destiny
To me, you have always been
An irreplaceable person
Who allowed us to meet?
What purpose did they put into motion?
On this dot in the vast universe
Both you and I are existing
There is definitely a reason for it

Lalala…
Lalala…

Like the shining light of the stars
I accept the message
Love is not an impulse
But memories from before we were born

WOW WOW
When I held you in these arms
I felt a strong sense of nostalgia
Like that wind
Like that sun
My heart is warm

Why are we in love?
That is God’s will
Even though I say that with a know-it-all look
I can’t see the real truth
Why are we in love?
I feel something when our eyes meet
If we could rewind the eras
Love is like genetics
Coming on a long journey to now

Lalala…
Lalala…

ときめきアンティーク (Tokimeki antiiku) – Heartful antique

from Team Surprise 2014 9th Single – Tokimeki antique single.

——

Sitting at the register
Of the deserted antique store
Flipping through the weekly magazine
I love you, part-timer

I wandered
Around the store idly
Pretending to pick up an item
I watched the beautiful you

But always, always
You’d see me come alone
Buying some random junk
You’d think I’m weird, right?

A skinny pig
A golden chamber pot
Just why
Did I buy these?
Before I knew it
It’s just these things
My narrow room started to fill up
With my love for you
And these heartful antiques

And then, I’d walk past
The store countless times
One day, you flashed me
An affectionate smile

“You have a strange hobby”
You commented on my mysterious hoarding
I just want to confess to you now
That I’d like you to fall for me too

Large shoes
A rusted mirror
I bought
These items today
Someday
I want to show them to you
All accumulated in my room
The firm feelings
In my heart are antiques

A skinny pig
A golden chamber pot
Just why
Did I buy these?
Before I knew it
It’s just these things
My narrow room started to fill up
With my love for you
And these heartful antiques
