エピソードをつくりだせ！ (Episoodo wo tsukuri dase!) – Let’s create episodes!

from Butterfly album.

——

Wanna be carefree, wanna be without weather
Wanna sleep in in the morning
But before I can even say that
A storm comes

Is your heart ready?
Come, battle mode on

Don’t let go of that handle
Can’t glance away either
Or you’ll flow away
Wanna enjoy thrills and fantasies?
Let’s create episodes
I live through now

This is Jamaica, sing and dance
Feel the joy of life
Draw out the self you wanna be
Lots of it on this white beach

Beyond the blue sky, dark clouds
Are heading over again

Don’t let go of that handle
Can’t glance away either
Or the chance will escape
The awakening comes after the storm
With a stronger you
I live through now

Don’t let go of that handle
Can’t glance away either
Or you’ll flow away
Wanna enjoy thrills and fantasies?
Let’s create episodes
I live through now

Don’t let go of that handle
Can’t glance away either
Or the chance will escape
The awakening comes after the storm
With a stronger you
I live through now

幸せになろう (Shiawase ni narou) – Let’s be happy

from LOVERS CONCERTO album.

——

Shall we finally return to that town where we grew up?
I can’t say I have no regrets, but
I didn’t lose either

Everyone carries a heavy burden from their past
Living with it together with tomorrow
And you’ve always supported me

Let’s be happy, let’s walk on slowly
On a long long journey together with you
Flowers in full bloom, please watch over
Our love, and give us courage
So that we’ll never be apart again

I hurried on, as if chased by something
Using the flow of the city as my excuse
Even then, you smiled at me

What’s truly important is right beside me
Somehow, I forgot and drifted away from it
But I swear to you

Let’s be happy, let’s walk on slowly
On a long long journey together with you
Flowers in full bloom, please watch over
Our love, and give us courage
So that we’ll never be apart again

ハリネズミのジレンマ (Harinezumi no jirenma) – Hedgehog’s dilemma

from Marriage album.

——

I rushed to reach our meeting spot, you were a little late
I know it’ll never happen, but I doubt once again
As if following a series of disasters written on a notebook
The rain falls only around us, hurting each other

A gift of words to be whispered
If only I can give them to you

I’m a helpless hedgehog with so much love, but always
The words that come out before you are full of thorns, my dilemma

Alone on the train ride home, I’m swayed by regret
Somehow reaching my room, I fall onto the cold bed

Recalling your face when we parted makes me want to die
A dried wilted flower that would collapse with a touch

I’ve totally forgotten that one important phrase
You are not the one to blame

I’m a helpless hedgehog who always fails, but someday
If I can get a little closer to you, if I can say that I love you

I’m a helpless hedgehog who always fails, but someday
I want to embrace and kiss you, walk on together with hands held

I’m a helpless hedgehog with so much love, but always
The words that come out before you are full of thorns, my dilemma

LaLaLa……

君が僕を忘れないように 僕が君をおぼえている (Kimi ga boku wo wasurenai you ni boku ga kimi wo oboeteiru) – I’ll remember you so you won’t forget me

from Kimi ga boku wo wasurenai you ni boku ga kimi wo oboeteiru single + Zenkai koigokoro!! ~Missing You~ album.

——

“I want to go see the sea now”, one clear morning, you suddenly started preparations
You’re always teasing me out of the blue like that, not that I hate it

Across the train station where we first kissed, 2 years since we first met

I Say yes
I’ll remember you so you won’t forget me
That soft small hand I held gently
You make me strong, and I’ll protect you
I could see the sea which belongs only to us

I’m always skeptical, pessimistic, but why, when I’m with you
I smile unknowingly? A mysterious person who makes me question my true self

“I’m so happy” you said in a small, slightly hoarse voice

I Say yes
I’ll remember you so you won’t forget me
We wrote out “love” on the deserted beach
The flower’s fragrance and the sparkling wind touched your short hair
Time, please stop like this

I Say yes
I’ll remember you so you won’t forget me
That soft small hand I held gently
You make me strong, and I’ll protect you
Won’t let you go tonight

自転車レース (Jitensha reesu) – Bicycle race

from Crawl album.

——

Polishing our rusted bicycles
We rode along the coast
That continued on with no end
We were so straightforward then

The goal was the convenience store parking lot 5km away
Faraway summer, still so vibrant now

Holding back our tears, we became adults
The wind’s fragrance and the sea’s color have not changed
Riding on our dreams along the path we drew out that day
I’ll live on together with you

Days with sudden downpours, as the typhoons approached
Our hearts always remained sunny

We rode with all our mights
The two of us who hated losing
Faraway summer, we cried as we embraced

No matter how far apart we are
Just remembering the other makes us strong
Wanting to see you, I pedalled
Won’t lose out to myself
As I hoped for tomorrow

We can’t see the goal yet
But we’ll surely grasp it
Faraway summer, let’s ride on again together

Holding back our tears, we became adults
The wind’s fragrance and the sea’s color have not changed
Riding on our dreams along the path we drew out that day
I’ll live on
Always beside you
My best friend

神の雫 (Kami no shizuku) – Drops from the gods

from Marriage album.

——

Once upon a time, a goddess gave a youth a seedling and whispered
Grow this sapling upon this poor land
And pray to it……

Finally, the tree bore grapes like jewels
And the youth was drunk with just a drop of its wine
It’s too sad, that fragrance just like a kiss
Open the cork and try it

If you wish to see lovers’ smiles
Then a Burgundy with a rich fragrance is best
If you wish to blind your senses
Shall we open a Bordeaux?

Hundreds of flowers bloom in the maze within this glass
Taking a step in, once I become the prisoner
Of its unbreakable magic, I can’t get out
I know that, but I can no longer stop

If you wish to see lovers’ smiles
Then a Burgundy with a rich fragrance is best
If you wish to blind your senses
Shall we open a Bordeaux?

Lots of bouquets for your heart
A glass of wine for life’s corner

If the goddess had not given the grapes to the youth
Our world would be so much more boring
And I wouldn’t have met you
Watching each other through the glass……
Falling in love……

星の雫 (Hoshi no shizuku) – Drops of stars

from PERFECT ALBUMS+1 -20th Anniversary- album.

——

Far apart, I prepare for the sixth winter
In the city you left
The gap somewhere in my heart remains open
Just surviving amidst the seasons

Walking on so as not to be defeated by the city’s flow
You were just tired

Just be who you are right now
Nobody will criticize you anymore
Stop reaching out, and let’s talk
I’ll always be by your side

Just show me your heart, without lies or force
Nobody is that strong
Noone in the world can survive alone
That’s right, I was saved by you too

That faraway summer day, that place you loitered at
All surrounded gently by the wind

Just be who you are right now
Nobody will criticize you anymore
Stop searching for what’s lacking now
Just return to the beginning
Let’s look up at the starry sky and talk
I’ll always be by your side

from Graduation album.

——

From the moment when I first passed by you in the corridor, I had fallen in love
These sudden feelings just perplexed me

Can’t pay attention to anything
My head is full of you

Lai.la.lai.la.lai.lai.lai
Lovey-dovey, need your love
Continuing to spin
Lai.la.lai.la.lai.lai.lai
Lovey-dovey, given time
This feeling bursts open

I search for it unconsciously again today, but I know it won’t come true
There’s no reason why I won’t notice who you are looking at

That road home, a short time
The words we exchanged hurt

Lai.la.lai.la.lai.lai.lai
Lovey-dovey, need your love
I want to take you away
Lai.la.lai.la.lai.lai.lai
Lovey-dovey, given time
But I remain afraid

I don’t wanna wait another minute
I can’t read your mind, need love
And nothing’s gonna make it go away
But I can’t let go

I don’t wanna wait another minute
I can’t read your mind, need love
And nothing’s gonna make it go away
Every time you leave
Well it’s done

Lai.la.lai.la.lai.lai.lai
Lovey-dovey, need your love
Continuing to spin
Lai.la.lai.la.lai.lai.lai
Lovey-dovey, given time
This feeling bursts open
Lai.la.lai.la.lai.lai.lai
Lovey-dovey, need your love
It’s ok if it doesn’t come true
Lai.la.lai.la.lai.lai.lai
Lovey-dovey, given time
I still love you
