と、いう話さ (To, iu hanashi sa) – That’s, the story


from Too many people album.

——

I scream in the dry urban jungle, in the desert sunken beneath the sea
About love, about sin, things we can’t see, but do exist

Even the largest bird can’t fly higher than my imagination
Empty ambition, beautiful despair, surrounded by love, that’s the story

People like other people, hate other people, while tears like love
As the clock hands progress, time passes

Even the tiniest bug can’t be smaller than my imagination
Placing a shell against my ear, I can hear the sea roar, that’s the story

So that the papers won’t fly away in the wind
I placed a pebble on them, and dreamed
The growing shadows under the sunset burn into these summer stone steps
Slowly growing faint and light

There’s a woman, growing quiet as I hold her in my arms
The words slip in my mouth, swimming

She gazes lovingly at me, despite my undesirable phrases
As if making an X-ray of my heart, what is she thinking? That’s the story

There’s something, broken and melted, gone from my mind
Like a comet’s trajectory, it draws a familiar loop and returns
A playful paper airplane dancing in the sky

So that the papers won’t fly away in the wind
I placed a pebble on them, and dreamed
The growing shadows under the sunset burn into these summer stone steps
Slowly growing faint and light

Hana wa saita ka – ASKA

花は咲いたか (Hana wa saita ka) – Have the flowers bloomed?


from Girl single.

——

In that case, it’s his problem
It’s nothing to do with me

Because touching it is extremely loathsome
Let’s pretend it doesn’t exist

My place isn’t where he is
The weather, time, even the secrets are different
I don’t care for that

If I push open the door with one hand now
He’ll be scratching his head, a sleepy expression on his face

Have the flowers bloomed? Did you dream?

It’s nothing important
In the morning, say ‘Good morning’

The power of loneliness pulling together
After all, we’re humans

Searching for the fragments of the fallen cup
Let’s stop it already

Offering me a story in a small voice
Just makes my back, my ear, my tomorrow itch
I’ll pull away

If I just look puzzled
You’ll take the wheel with confidence, right?

Which is the moon? Has the wind stopped?

It’s nothing important
In the morning, say ‘Good morning’

If I push open the door with one hand now
He’ll be scratching his head, a sleepy expression on his face

Have the flowers bloomed? Did you dream?

It’s nothing important
In the morning, say ‘Good morning’

Time Machine – U-ya Asaoka

Posted by in lyrics, U-ya Asaoka

from Sora no hate album.

——

It’s my Lucky Day, told in a fortune
That I’ll receive a phone call sometime today
Saying “What are you doing now?”

Where are you flying to, with those free wings?
Is my bed not to your liking?

What is grasped in those overlapped fingertips?
Now, the warmth of our embrace seeps into my heart
Upon your hesitant shoulder, flowers spiral and bloom
A broken Time Machine, capable of traveling only to the future

The 2000s, can’t resolve the chaos
So entangled, it doesn’t matter even if you push the self-destruct button

Can’t buy a heart with money, both denial and affirmation
Doesn’t matter, just wanna make you mine

Above my sluggish body, you smile boldly
Somehow, I planned to embrace you, but I’m being embraced instead
Your translucent eyes take over me, and
I don’t need the past, a Time Machine of despair

As I stand idle, the enemy is picking up their weapon
I can’t win, so I’ll just fall

What is grasped in those overlapped fingertips?
Now, the warmth of our embrace seeps into my heart
Upon your hesitant shoulder, flowers spiral and wilt
A broken Time Machine, capable of traveling only to the future

サヨナララ (Sayonarara) – Goodbye lala


from Sora no hate album.

——

The spoken words “We’re friends, right?”
Is a synonym for the fact that we can’t progress any further

It’s hard, because there’s no malice
But I have no interest in anyone but you, I can’t help it

A sweet Melody, Memories that won’t overlap
Just the passing of a romance that won’t begin

Always, always, always, all the time
I’m embracing you In My Dream
Is it alright for me to wait for hope?

Quietly, quietly, quietly, sadly
I threw regret away
Now, being alone suits me, so goodbye lala

Today’s brilliant sunset
Did you watch it too? I texted you, acting nonchalant

Unable to say that I want to see you
When I realized it, I don’t know why I fell for you

Since we met, I’ve changed little by little
Is my heart wishing for love?

Always, always, always, all the time
I’m embracing you In My Dream
I know this will never come true

Then, then, then, tomorrow too
I’ll continue to think of you
Now, I’ll watch over you silently, goodbye lala

Nanairo – U-ya Asaoka

七色 (Nanairo) – Rainbow


from Doubt/Nanairo single + Mirai no tsukuri kata album.

——

It seems so festive, the city’s already in Friday
The quick passing of time somehow made me impatient

To always have the same everyday
It was a youthful sin to have believed in that

Enjoyable days become mere memories
My pride. Even now, they support me

There was no need to say goodbye
That miraculous time will not come back

Even as the rainbow-colored wind raged at us
We faced it, for the rose-tinted future
Behind this beautiful world, there are hidden shadows
Now, I know that, but it isn’t such a bad thing

Reality is different from the dreams I used to have, but
I now have someone to protect, and my dreams have changed

Happiness is fragile, easily broken
So it will be tested by time, to everyone

The rainbow-colored wind rages on, even now
Even if we stop walking, we won’t give in
I’ll trust that someday, the winds will turn favorable
Because nothing will change if I just wait

Even as the rainbow-colored wind raged at us
We faced it, for the rose-tinted future
Behind this beautiful world, there are hidden shadows
Now, I know that, but it isn’t such a bad thing

Paradox – U-ya Asaoka

13 Wednesday Sep 2017

Posted by in lyrics, U-ya Asaoka

from Kimi ga sekai wo kaete yuku album.

——

Tirelessly being told is someone else’s success story
Isn’t it better to be waiting for a godsend? Do as you like

Imitations are bound to fail, today is tiring too, huh?
Can’t see my dreams, this era is far, far from true perfection

This isn’t it, I wanna do something
Puzzled, I pretend and deceive my almost-resigned self

Not fighting, not losing, yet not giving it my all
Not desiring, not smiling, pleading for non-existent things Tonight
Just who am I?

Even this country is full of lies, no one knows the truth
Dignity without preparation, just what meaning does that hold?

Somehow, we’re already approaching the end
Intoxicated, I pretend, swinging between joy and sorrow, forcing reason

With no wings, I can’t fly, can’t save anyone
Not cool, there’s no God, therefore, I create My Life
Because I like you?

This isn’t it, I wanna do something
Puzzled, I pretend and deceive my almost-resigned self

Not fighting, not losing, yet not giving it my all
Not desiring, not smiling, pleading for non-existent things Tonight
Just who am I? It’s Paradox, live on

Show must go on – U-ya Asaoka

from Show must go on album.

——

Welcome! You’re here. Thank you for Coming!
Let me blend your heart together with mine tonight!

Are you living a life with no fear of failure?
Do you want to be affirmed, for a little sense of relief?

The world is full of lies, I’ve come to hate it
Contrasting ideas just run parallel

Let’s forget that, and love each other right now
With a touch of preaching, this is just a song www

From the start, we already know
We can’t let dreams be dreams
I can’t do it without you, you know?

So, we need to do what we wanna do
Because time won’t stop
Let’s just burst out
Meanwhile, the Show must go on!

A well-designed replica may put on airs, but
Who are they acting for? They can’t fool me

The best valuation is my innocent self
Let’s shout out about the present!!!

I want to smile with you until the end
Because I want to deliver my love
A steady advance, let’s live

So let the ground ring and shout
I’ll smash your shell
If you wait, it’ll be over, you know?
Certainly, the Show must go on!

From the start, we already know
We can’t let dreams be dreams
I can’t do it without you, you know?

So, let’s do what we wanna do
Because time won’t turn back
Let’s just be foolish
Meanwhile, the Show must go on!

BLAST! – Momoiro Clover Z

28 Monday Aug 2017

Posted by in lyrics, Momoiro Clover Z

≈ Leave a comment


from BLAST! single.

——

Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
Listen to this Brand New anthem of victory
what did you say?
Tomorrow too, a solemn devilish mental goal Maxim
Win the throne, Put your hands up!

Boys and Girls
That sense of gut feeling
Once you’ve found it
Don’t Look Back
Until you’ve filled up your thirsty heart

When in an unfamiliar zone, of course
It’s natural that there’s nothing to fall back on
Too late, my resolution is totally ready, in Over Drive

There, the bell has rung
I’m a lawless survivor
A fighter who craves glory on stage

Winning or losing doesn’t matter
I’m fighting for myself

Isn’t it too early
To give up just now?
This world that’s lit my soul on fire is Crazy

The pure answer
We know it already, don’t we?
The true rival is our selves

The me that’s reached this point is So Superior
To be troubled now is foolish, y’all
This place I’ve dreamed of
To stand here today
I’ll flaunt it
Blast! Blast! Blast! Blast!

Throw away all of this jumbled present
Muster all the experience I’ve gained so far
The fight’s outcome is Carry Over?
Then I’ll persist today
I’ll flaunt it
Blast! Blast! Blast! Blast!

To measure myself using someone else’s scale
Isn’t that just too unromantic?
This heart and body is always, always on standby Z

Hey Yo
Blast! Blast! Blast!
Seeing those guys makes my blood rush
Only those who got here without flattery can stand here
To polish our self
That’s the only rule here
Bring the noise
Give me more and more power
Those guys standing in my way (Let’s get it on)
I’ll bring them down with a blow (Let’s get it on)
There, now I’m ready
Loosening up these stiff muscles
Not losing sight of their vision
There aren’t many out there who can do that

Destroy that stubborn self-consciousness YO
Always
Don’t think, Feel
Those thick-headed ones will soon Go away

A reality full of heroes
A tremblingly small chance of winning
Even so, my resolution is totally ready, in Over Drive

Is that alright? (Hey!) Is that alright? (Hey!)
I totally, I totally don’t care

Even when my body is all beaten up
I’ll stand up again and again

I can’t be stopped
It’s never-before-seen
This world that’s lit my soul on fire is Crazy

The pure answer
We know it already, don’t we?
The true rival is our selves

The me that’s reached this point is So Superior
I’ll show you the strength I’ve got, y’all
Life isn’t dependent on luck
If I can prove that, surely
Everyone’s hearts will be in my
Grasp! Grasp! Grasp! Grasp!

The shape of dreams I’ve dreamt
That crown I’ve been aiming for
Leave it all up to God? NO NO
I’ll release my instinct
And polish it up
Blast! Blast! Blast! Blast!

To measure myself using someone else’s scale
Isn’t that just too unromantic?
This heart and body is always, always on standby Z

The future which used to feel so far away
I’m actually experiencing it right now
It’s best to live long
I’ll throw away that peace
And put my soul into this moment!

The me that’s reached this point is So Superior
To be troubled now is foolish, y’all
This place I’ve dreamed of
To stand here today
I’ll flaunt it
Blast! Blast! Blast! Blast!

The me that’s reached this point is So Superior
I’ll show you the strength I’ve got, y’all
Life isn’t dependent on luck
If I can prove that, surely
Everyone’s hearts will be in my
Grasp! Grasp! Grasp! Grasp!

The shape of dreams I’ve dreamt
That crown I’ve been aiming for
Leave it all up to God? NO NO
I’ll release my instinct
And polish it up
Blast! Blast! Blast! Blast!

Every story is a piece of someone’s hope
As long as you never give up
Your hard work and tears and all, all, all!
Will cross time, and look, connect to the future Z

Blast! Blast! Blast!
Blast! Blast! Blast!
Blast! Blast! Blast!

Yuuhodou – CHERRYBLOSSOM

Posted by in CHERRYBLOSSOM, lyrics

≈ Leave a comment

夕歩道 (Yuuhodou) – Evening road


from GO! album.

——

La La La

Our innocent words clashed as we talked about worthless things
Always stay with me, I wanna walk again with you tomorrow
SUNSET ROAD, Yeah, let’s meet again, I said
But you don’t come, don’t come, so I’ll walk to school by myself

Because it’s an uncertain friendship, it’s a dazzling, transcient thing, like a burning sparkler
We create as many memories as tears, in the crevices of our hearts

If tomorrow’s sky smiles, you, me, and dreams, will reach to the sunset sky
Our two elongated shadows lined up
I’ll never forget, forever my BEST FRIEND

That was when I knew loneliness, left alone on the steps after school
Hearing my falling footsteps, I feel the loneliness of your absence, Yeah
Only lonely, but we’ll meet again, right?, I ask
I’ll walk through this wide, wide school yard by myself

The day you and I said goodbye, I couldn’t speak of my gratitude, which I regret even now
The pride from that day irritates me now, just like a scab

The big promise you made to me, I send it to the sunset sky now
An endless journey, I find your footprints
And change this into courage, By myself

I’ll give my memories to you as a gift, with a sketchbook and paints
The scene of you and I in my mind, walking together side by side

I don’t know if I can illustrate it well, can’t forget that one scene
Recklessly, my right hand draws, blurring the sunset with my tears

The colorful paints will be finished soon, but
I think the orange one will be the first to go

I try to draw the sunset we saw that day again and again, but
A drawing isn’t enough, wanna see it again, wanna see it again with you

If tomorrow’s sky smiles, you, me, and dreams, will reach to the sunset sky
Our two elongated shadows lined up
I’ll never forget, forever my BEST FRIEND

La La La

Tsuki no sabaku no gypsy – ELEKITER ROUND 0

月の砂漠のジプシー (Tsuki no sabaku no jipushii) – The gypsy of the moon desert


from Kyousou rondo album.

——

“The sky is
The universe’s ocean”
You whispered in my ear
Even now, I believe that

The moon desert’s
Sparkling sand, oh
Like dancing, weaving butterflies
I want to capture and cage them up

This is the first time I’m feeling this way
I’ll slip through
This glass case, as enviable as a mirage

“Embrace me”
The women said, as numerous as the sand grains
“I won’t let you catch me”
Even in my dreams
“As long as you can give me formless things such as love…”
I am a traveler who can never understand what she means

Like a story
From once upon a time
A nameless someone told
A story of that night

The moon silently
Sheds tears, oh
Which become a beautiful spring
Tonight, I continue to search for it

It’s not enriching water
What I want is
The water known as you, want my heart filled

It won’t end
This journey
Won’t let it end, I wanna be lost
Like despair
This heart, sink it into the sand

Footprints
In the dancing sand
Disappearing so I can’t go back
Smiling, fluttering
You dance

I want to dance within you
Before I knew it, I’d drowned
Up upon your wings
I’m a journeying gypsy
“As long as you can give me formless things such as love…”
I am a traveler who can never understand what she means
