Just how much sorrow have you been through
Such that you have locked away
The voice of your heart?
Hey, let me hear it, just a little

Let me hear it, just a little

Expertly sticking a smile onto your mask
It’s alright to show your real tears
Even if you pass them off as fake
Because they symbolize hope

Forgetting what is love
Forgetting what is respect

Acting as if you know nothing no matter what happens
Pretending not to notice at all

Throwing away your persevering heart
Throwing away your believing heart

If you ignore all your feelings
You won’t feel any hurt

But you won’t feel any happiness too

Making merry, as if denying your feelings
Joking around, as if you have no memories
The back that you are showing to me
Is small, and trembling

Forgetting what is love
Forgetting what is respect

Isn’t it about time to start realizing
That it’s impossible?

Throwing away your persevering heart
Throwing away your believing heart

You do know from the very beginning
That doing so causes you the most hurt

Don’t live like you are dead

Forgetting what is love
Forgetting what is respect

Acting as if you know nothing no matter what happens
Pretending not to notice at all

Throwing away your persevering heart
Throwing away your believing heart

If you ignore all your feelings
You won’t feel any hurt

But you won’t feel any happiness too

Don’t live like you are dead

The sun has left me again today
Throwing me into darkness

I become weak, become pathetic
I hate this moment of the day
I hate myself when I’m like this

I hesitate, let out a sigh
Erase it all away, retype all over again
But in the end, I still can’t send it out

Just until when, just until where
Should I hold onto courage?

Being at your side, just being at your side
Being able to smile and be forgiven, hey
Will such a day ever come?

Words can’t express these feelings
Meeting eye to eye, wanting to tell, but

Words can’t express these feelings
Meeting eye to eye, wanting to tell, but

Words can’t express these feelings
Meeting eye to eye, wanting to tell, but

Words can’t express these feelings
Meeting eye to eye, wanting to tell, but

The moon’s light enfolds me gently
But even such a night can’t hide my loneliness

Specially picking out words
Which are indirect and hard to understand
I try to escape from the pain

Your straight, unadorned but beautiful
And sometimes sad but happy words
Pierce my heart

When did it all, when did it
Become so complicated?

Being at your side, just being at your side
Being able to smile and be forgiven, hey
Will such a day ever come?

Just hearing your voice, I think of your smile
And want to see you, that is frightening, and

Just hearing your voice, I think of your smile
And want to see you, that is frightening, and

Just hearing your voice, I think of your smile
And want to see you, that is frightening, and

Just hearing your voice, I think of your smile
And want to see you, that is frightening, and

Time goes by, the mail I wrote
Remains unsent, and morning has come again

Time goes by, the mail I wrote
Remains unsent, and morning has come again

Time goes by, the mail I wrote
Remains unsent, and morning has come again

Time goes by, the mail I wrote
Remains unsent, and morning has come again

A life without love
I have no confidence living like that
A life without dreams
I don’t want to imagine that

A life without song
I can’t think of a life like that
If I had no feelings I need to hold on to
It’ll be boring, without meaning
Don’t you think?

Do you have something you want to protect?
Are you worried that you can’t protect it?
Because you have been hurt and roughened
That is why you know strength

Do you have someone precious to you?
Can you really treasure that person?
Before you lose that someone
Hold onto them gently but tightly

Somehow, it is not easy
For things to go well
But if I had no feelings I need to hold on to
It’ll be boring, without meaning

I don’t think that everything
In this world goes smoothly
But if I had no feelings I need to hold on to
It’ll be boring, without meaning

Should we just give up on things
So that life will become easier?
There are surely days when we all
Have honestly thought about doing that

Do you have something you’ve lost?
Did you leave that something behind yourself?
Do you regret doing so?
If you can go back and reclaim it, will you?

Do you have something you desire?
Is that something within your reach?
Can you be honest?
Why can’t the tears stop flowing?

A life without love
I have no confidence living like that
A life without dreams
I don’t want to imagine that

A life without song
I can’t think of a life like that
If I had no feelings I need to hold on to
It’ll be boring, without meaning
Don’t you think?

Kanji lyrics…

From L single + Love songs album.

——

I believe you can hear me
There’s something I want to tell you
“The bell that is announcing the end
Is not a sad sound”

We cried, we screamed
Until we had no voice left
It’s not a lie, it’s not a dream
It’s not something we can wake up from
I won’t regret, won’t go back anymore
There’s nowhere to go but forward
Even if I feel love, even if I feel nostalgia
Even if we will never meet a second time

Unable to come clean, filled with guilt
I’ve had such loves before
Frolicking during the night, alone at dawn
My life repeated like that

Unable to come clean, filled with guilt
I’ve had such loves before
Frolicking during the night, alone at dawn
My life repeated like that

Maybe I’ll be on time, maybe it’s not too late
Maybe I can begin again
I want you to see, I want you to feel
I want you not to give up on us
I won’t run, I won’t lie
I won’t let things repeat again
I will stay with you, I will hold onto you
I will accept you as you are

Just one, the last one
There is such a love
Believe in the night, it will come true at dawn
The angel has smiled

Just one, the last one
There is such a love
Believe in the night, it will come true at dawn
The angel has smiled

We cried, we screamed
Until we had no voice left
It’s not a lie, it’s not a dream
It’s not something we can wake up from
I won’t regret, won’t go back anymore
There’s nowhere to go but forward
Even if I feel love, even if I feel nostalgia
Even if we will never meet a second time

Maybe I’ll be on time, maybe it’s not too late
Maybe I can begin again
I want you to see, I want you to feel
I want you not to give up on us
I won’t run, I won’t lie
I won’t let things repeat again
I will stay with you, I will hold onto you
I will accept you as you are

Surrounded by transient blooming cherry blossoms
On spring days, we were still so shy

Feeling the sun’s rays when they occasionally beat down
On summer days, we shone in our dreams

Yes, we were together through all the seasons

The sparkling tears on your face now
Seem to be a sign that you have not lost to yourself
The sparkling smile on your face now
Is a sign of your happiness shining, shining, shining

The falling leaves couldn’t conceal our loneliness
On autumn days, we were a little weak

Fingertips trembling in the freezing cold
On winter days, we kept our hearts warm

Yes, we went though all the seasons together

As you set off now, you look back a little
And give a nostalgic smile
As you set off now, I can see
Your future, filled with hope, shining, shining, shining

The sparkling tears on your face now
Seem to be a sign that you have not lost to yourself
The sparkling smile on your face now
Is a sign of your happiness shining, shining, shining

Shining, shining, shining

Hey, for all the loneliness, pain, guilt
And love up till now, from my heart, thank you

Hey, I could not say this until now
uh- If I had the words, for this life, thank you

That day when I couldn’t treasure myself
The one who got hurt wasn’t me

I can’t forget that day when I first saw tears
On that always bright and cheerful profile

“I love you as you are, I want to protect you”
I’ve met a person who said that to me, and from now on, we’ll set off together
No matter what sorrow will befall us, no matter what happiness we’ll encounter
We promised to share every moment and live on together
So somehow watch over me

Hey, for everything that will happen in the future
uh- I’ll be grateful, from now till forever, thank you

There were nights when we quarrelled, shouting in tears
Running away from home

Even so, in the end, I know that
You are the one who understands me most

I’ve realized that the one whom you met and loved, sometimes long ago
Somehow resembles the person whom I love now

I’ve realized that the one whom you met and loved, sometimes long ago
Somehow resembles the person whom I love now
Like that impulsive behaviour, I’ve seen that somewhere before
And when I realized where, a single teardrop slid down my cheek
So warm

Hey, for all the loneliness, pain, guilt
And love up till now, from my heart, thank you

From SEVEN DAYS WAR single.

Covered by ayumi hamasaki in crossroad single + Love songs album.

“Revolution” The word I wrote in my notebook
Means surmounting the wall obstructing tomorrow
Broken pieces of glass, the knife scars on the table
I can’t ask for reasons, so I just banged on the closed door

I don’t want to destroy anything
I just want to find that something
I don’t want to go against anything
I just want to make my own choices

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
Until I can capture our rightful place with this hand
SEVEN DAYS WAR, GET PLACE TO LIVE
So that I can live honestly

“Communication” A voice that can’t reach
Worn out shoes, a tattered shirt
I cannot abide by rules nor justice
If I do not know what they mean

I don’t want to fight with anyone
I just want to find myself
I don’t want to hate anyone
I just want to express my thoughts

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
I won’t surrender our rightful place to anyone
SEVEN DAYS WAR, GET PLACE TO LIVE
So that I can live without shame

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
Our rightful place, with this hand, SO DO IT NOW
SEVEN DAYS WAR, GET PLACE TO LIVE
So that I can live honestly

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
Our rightful place, not to anyone, I’LL NEVER GIVE UP
SEVEN DAYS WAR, GET PLACE TO LIVE
So that I can live without shame

SEVEN DAYS WAR, I’ll fight
So that I can live honestly

The scenery we will see from now on and that which we have imagined in our dreams
How far will they differ from each other? There are surely times when we wonder about that

That time when I stood at the beginning of the crossroads
I wondered if the path I chose was the right one
That time when I stood opposite the crossroads
I wondered what would be at the other end

But even so, I will continue on. Because I know I haven’t lost yet

The one who pretended to be strong so she would not be hurt
So that she could protect herself. I wonder if she can truly smile
Some things I will change, some things I have changed
Some things I can’t change. Can I truly smile?

All these nostalgic memories are scattered all over this road
Suddenly thrust down this path, I felt not only warmth, but pain too

On my journey to adulthood
I wonder, what is it exactly that I’ve lost
On my journey to adulthood
I wonder, what is this exactly that is increasing

But this very moment I’ve spent thinking, look, it’s become the past too

The profile of that girl who just passed me by looked like someone
I knew from sometime ago. I know this, but why
Can’t I even call out? It’s as if I have no voice
I could only look on her back as she walked away

But even so, I will continue on. Because I know I haven’t lost yet

The one who pretended to be so strong so she would not be hurt, just for that
So that she could protect herself. I wonder if she can truly smile
Some things I will change and some things I have changed and
Some things I can’t change. Can I truly smile?

Kanji Lyrics

From MOON/blossom single + Love songs album.

——

You’ve really been crying all this while, deep in your heart
But you hid it well. That about you has not changed

You were smiling in that moment when I met you
That was just a kind lie, your best attempt at strength

We have always known, there was never a day we forgot
It would have been better to not know the implication of becoming adults

Yet we have begun to walk. We don’t need reasons to do so
It’s alright, it’s alright now, and that’s the only thing we know for sure

I truly understand, your pain reaches me as always
Because the promise I made to share it with you was not a lie

We have been protecting these colourful blossoms together
So let us continue kindly watching over them until the last petal falls

And so we have begun to walk, clumsily, with hands held
This one step which we have just made will become the moment that changes the future

Yet we have begun to walk. We don’t need reasons to do so
It’s alright, it’s alright now, and that’s the only thing we know for sure

And so we have begun to walk, clumsily, with hands held
This one step which we have just made will become the moment that changes the future
