End of the World – ayumi hamasaki

from Duty album.

——

When I see someone less fortunate
Than myself, I feel comforted
When I see someone happier
Than myself, I suddenly feel irritated

But surely, I mean, sometimes
I can’t help but notice how
Pathetic I look, and it clashes with my reality

Just how should I think?
What should I say?
You were the first person
Who tried to understand
This side of me

There is no way a person can live alone
In order to prevent themselves from hurting others

If I can think of myself as a sacrifice
Then I just have to be prepared
To pretend till the very end, even should I lose everything

What are you wishing for tomorrow?
Do you think we can overcome
Even the longest nights
Extending endlessly into darkness?
I wish you’d tell me someday

Just how should I think?
What should I say?
They praise me highly
Am envious of me
But I don’t know if they even understand

Just how should I think?
What should I say?
You are surely the only person
Who really understands
This side of me

星詠みエンドラヴァー (Hoshiyomi endo ravaa) – Stargazing end lover


from Mira wi akazuki single.

——

The legend that tells of you being on the moon
Scorched my thoughts from faraway
I’ll go now, towards the road to the moon
Only thinking of you all this while

The broken space elevator
I board without looking back…

Climbing the stairs to the moon, I finally reach its surface
The space elevator leads out to a sky full of stardust

You don’t need to feel lost anymore
Because I’m coming to meet you, you
Will I finally meet
With this scorching 100-year romance?

I think of you, the only survivor
At the end of that world’s remains

I can believe now
The origin of the moon’s landing…

Climbing the stairs to the moon, I finally reach this world where
You are slumbering, and I’ll open the door for you

You don’t need to feel lost anymore
Because I am the same as you, you
Will the end of my journey now finally meet
With this scorching 100-year romance?

“On the neverending road
It feels like I no longer know where I am, but
The silver rain I see outside the window
Seems to invite me to go to you
To finally reach that faraway civilization… Will my wish come true?

Climbing the stairs to the moon, I finally reached this city where

Hey, I search for you, only you. Just, just answer me
You slumber in your coffin, and I’ll open the door for you

You don’t need to feel lost anymore
Because I’m here to meet you, you
Will I finally meet
With this always scorching 100-year romance?
We’ve finally met with our journey’s end

Summer Vacation Love – i☆Ris

from Dream parade single.

——

The season we’ve longed for is here
Let’s go out somewhere, summer diary

Let’s go to the sea? Or the mountains?
Unable to see eye-to-eye, we have a real problem

Imagine this
Summer is about the sea, right?
I’ll have changed into a swimsuit
And you’ll want me all to yourself, right?

With a summerish you, Make Love×2
Stimulating condition of romance
Want to drown in a love
Deeper than the ocean this summer vacation

With a summerish you, Hot Love×2
Melting heart of romance
This summer only comes once
So shall we fly out together?
Summer Vacation Love

You don’t know my feelings
From the place nearest to the nightsky

The next summer, and the one after that
I want to promise my unchanging emotions, but

Try imagining
The mountains in summer is great too
Under a sky full of stars
We can be alone

With a summerish you, Cool Love×2
Captivating lovesickness
Too many things I want to do
Summer vacation is too short

With a summerish you, Bad Love×2
Impatient heart of romance
Even so, our hot passion is
Strong than midsummer’s sun, always
Summer Vacation Love

A summer more
Than what we imagined is here
As long as we are together
Anyplace will be the best

With a summerish you, Make Love×2
Stimulating condition of romance
Want to drown in a love
Deeper than the ocean this summer vacation

With a summerish you, Hot Love×2
Melting heart of romance
This summer only comes once
So shall we fly out together?
Summer Vacation Love

secret base ~kimi ga kureta mono~ – Silent Siren

secret base~君がくれたもの~ (secret base ~kimi ga kureta mono~) – secret base ~what you gave to me~


from Hachigatsu no yoru single.

——

The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, great hope, I won’t forget them
I believe we will meet again in August 10 years later
To create the best memories…

Our meeting was abrupt, one moment at the intersection on the way home
You called out to me, saying “let’s go back together”
I was so shy, and hid my face behind my bag
Though I was really so so happy

Ahh, the fireworks bloom beautifully in the nightsky, it’s slightly sad
Ahh, the wind and time flows on together

Happiness, fun, adventures, we’ve been through so much
Inside our secret base

The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, great hope, I won’t forget them
I believe we will meet again in August 10 years later
I knew you were screaming “thank you” from your heart till the very end
Holding back tears and saying goodbye with a smile hurts
For the best memories…

Ahh, summer vacation will end in a short while
Ahh, sun and moon, get along well

Sorrow, loneliness, quarrels, we’ve been through so much
Inside our secret base

I knew you were screaming “thank you” from your heart till the very end
Holding back tears and saying goodbye with a smile hurts
For the best memories…

There was nothing we could do about your sudden transfer
We’ll write letter, call each other. Don’t forget me
Always inside our secret base

We’ve always chatted about the end of summer, watching the sunset, then the stars
I’ll never forget the tears streaming down your cheeks
I won’t forget how you waved vigorously till the very end
So I’ll stay like this forever, inside this dream…

The end of summer with you, dreams of the future, great hope, I won’t forget them
I believe we will meet again in August 10 years later
I knew you were screaming “thank you” from your heart till the very end
Holding back tears and saying goodbye with a smile hurts
For the best memories…
For the best memories…

八月の夜 (Hachigatsu no yoru) – August night


from Hachigatsu no yoru single.

——

What I like about you
Are your weird habits
Like the slight upward quirk of your lips
Though you remain expressionless

“I’ll give you a passing mark
You’re doing well”
Just what do you see
When you praise me?

Rustle rustle rustle rustle, we waver
Not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet, the delicate distance
Sway sway sway sway, these swaying emotions
Faintly, my fingertips lean in to you, touching, overflowing
Coming together

August night, a strong “i love you”
Left with the ice-cream we bought on the way home
The next time, the next time
We somehow created it
Getting drunk little by little, drifting
Thawing out the frozen memories
Once again, once again
I’ve always been searching for a reason to see you

What I like about you
Is how you laugh like a child
Its tone, like a beloved melody
Gently embracing us

Nights sounding each other out, like progressing through a maze
The sensation of summer, the sensation of you
Before this summer ends

Rustle rustle rustle rustle, we waver
Not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet, our awkwardness
Sway sway sway sway, these swaying emotions
Faintly, my fingertips lean in to you, touching, overflowing
Coming together

August night, a strong “i love you”
Entwining, racing, taking the long route
Again, my love, again, my love
I somehow restrained it
Getting drunk little by little, drifting
Thawing out the frozen emotions
Once again, once again
I’ve always been searching for a reason to see you

Is it just me? Or is it summer? My body temperature rises
This world with you
I want to shrink it by 1 more millimeter

Rustle rustle rustle rustle, we waver
Not yet, not yet, not yet, not yet, the delicate distance
Sway sway sway sway, these swaying emotions
Faintly, my lips lean in to you, touching, overflowing
Coming together

August night, a strong “i love you”
Left with the ice-cream we bought on the way home
The next time, the next time
We somehow created it
Getting drunk little by little, drifting
Thawing out this frozen love
Once again, once again
I’ve finally found a reason to see you

On this August night, we lean in, touch, overflow
Come together

Hane no kioku – Nogizaka46

羽根の記憶 (Hane no kioku) – Memory of wings


from Taiyou knock single.

——

I tried to imagine
Myself 10 years later
Where will I be?
What will I be doing?
At that time
Will I be happy?
It’ll be great if I’ll be smiling
Together with you

The usual road
With the sunlight through the roadside trees
The scenery alone
Will surely remain unchanged

I tried to think
About our future
Will our dreams come true?
Did we give up?
It’ll be great
If the two of us
Are still friends
Joking together

The sky exists for us to soar
Not just to look up at
I thought as I see the birds flying effortlessly
What I can do now
Is to believe
In the memory of the wings I’ve not used
On my back

I tried to pen down
Numerous wishes
Things I want to do
People I want to meet…
Just thinking about it
I turned greedy
I want to fall in love too
But that alone will be boring

“Experience failure
While you are young”
The adults
Speak profoundly

There are surely things
We have lost
And days when we feel like discarding
The things we used to treasure
We face setbacks
Then wake up
The time granted to us
Is unknowingly wasted…

The sky streches everywhere
Too far beyond our control
Birds will not enter cages on their own
Yes, everyone
Should be free to soar
Spreading invisible wings to the future
Let’s fly out

We won’t soar into the sky at first
Even birds used to stand on land
They waited till the time finally came
Someday, the wind will start to blow
And we’ll be reborn too

The sky streches everywhere
Too far beyond our control
Birds will not enter cages on their own
AH-

The sky exists for us to soar
Not just to look up at
I thought as I see the birds flying effortlessly
What I can do now
Is to believe
In the memory of the wings I’ve not used
On my back

The slumbering
Possibilities
Are limitless

Seifuku wo nuide sayonara wo… – Nogizaka46

22 Saturday Aug 2015

Posted by in lyrics, Nogizaka46

Performed by Saito Asuka and Hoshino Minami.

制服を脱いでサヨナラを… (Seifuku wo nuide sayonara wo…) – Taking off my uniform and goodbye…


from Taiyou knock single.

——

I’ll take off this uniform and be free
Goodbye to the privileges of a high school girl…
No longer able to depend upon my youth
I’ll walk on properly on my own two feet

“It’s natural that you don’t know things
So it’s alright that you can’t do it”
There has always been someone extending their hand to me
And it’s become suffocating

“It’s alright that you don’t know things
You’ll understand once you become an adult”
I’ve always been protected and sheltered like that
Making the me now useless

I don’t mind getting hurt (don’t mind crying)
I want to be treated as an adult
Not averting my eyes from reality
I want to face it all

I’ll take off this uniform and be free
Goodbye to the privileges of a high school girl…
An armor of innocence
I don’t need these things
I’ll take off this uniform and be free
Take up the challenge of the arrow of truth
Won’t lose to any adverse winds
Being alive comes together with pain

“There’s no need to hurry
Everyone will become an adult someday”
They put off answering me with resposibility
And I can’t stop my annoyance

I don’t mind making mistakes (don’t mind failing)
I want to have my own opinion
I only live once
I want to do it my way

So, don’t restrain me with common sense
The light of youth is shining on me
I’ll walk straight along the path
I believe in
So, don’t restrain me with common sense
Smiles and tears are all treasures
If anything happens, I’ll just restart from page 1
Being alive is to overcome things

I’ll graduate from pure and innocent, being cute alone is NG
I want to be a wild woman rather than a sheltered girl
Dirty things and all, I want to open my eyes and see them
I’ll take part in everything in this world

I’ll take off this uniform and be free
Goodbye to the privileges of a high school girl…
An armor of innocence
I don’t need these things

So, don’t restrain me with common sense
The light of youth is shining on me
I’ll walk straight along the path
I believe in
So, don’t restrain me with common sense
Smiles and tears are all treasures
If anything happens, I’ll just restart from page 1
Being alive is to overcome things

Wakaregiwa, motto suki ni naru – Nogizaka46

Performed by Under Members.

別れ際、もっと好きになる (Wakaregiwa, motto suki ni naru) – As we part, I fall for him more


from Taiyou knock single.

——

Today is another parting
I’ll fall for him more
Saying goodbye, turning the other way
He disappears into the crowd
As I watched his back
Sorrow overflows
And I want to cry

Only when I’m with you
Do I feel a natural happiness
And as the train home approaches
Why does my desire deepen?

The world he lives in
If possible, I want it all
Peeking into the magic mirror
To gaze upon his private life

If I (speak of that)
He will (hate me)
So I smile
And wave
Keeping it inside me…

Even though I’ll see him again tomorrow
I’ll fall for him more
So lonely, like a spoilt brat
I want to run after him
Grasp his shirt sleeve
And speak those selfish words
“Don’t go”

Every day, I repeat
In the same complication
I know that it’s foolish, but
There’s no love better than this

These emotions (are too much)
Too unmanageable (seeing him off)
It’s at least 20 steps
To chase after him
I should give up

Today is another parting
I’ll fall for him more
Saying goodbye, turning the other way
He disappears into the crowd
As I watched his back
Sorrow overflows
And I want to cry

Everyone, no matter the kind of parting
Will feel anxious when wondering if
This may be the last goodbye

Even though I’ll see him again tomorrow
I’ll fall for him more
So lonely, like a spoilt brat
I want to run after him
Grasp his shirt sleeve
And speak those selfish words
“Don’t go”

Muhyoujou – Nogizaka46

Performed by Matsumura Sayuri and Ikuta Erika.

無表情 (Muhyoujou) – Expressionless


from Taiyou knock single.

——

I’m alright
Leave me alone
I’m fine
Rumors with no basis
Don’t bother me
I don’t care

Ah- Having a girl as a best friend (pretending to worry)
Ah- Why is that so troublesome? (wanting to know everything)

I mean, the truth
Belongs only to those involved
I don’t want others to talk this and that about me
Oh! No Thank you!

Romance is always expressionless
Don’t want to let my feelings be known
Love or hate, which is it?
I’ll deceive with ambiguity
Not showing my heart, expressionless
Am I happy, am I sad…
Unable to tell anything
I’ll always show the same face
Unsmiling

Ah- Having boys approach me (isn’t he being a show off?)
Ah- Making their move based on my reaction (indirect conversation)

Show me an attitude
That is more straightforward
I don’t need those petty tricks
Oh! Yes! Go Ahead!

Try to tear down this expressionless me
So that I can’t help it but show my true self
I can’t ignore
Your serious gaze…
Being expressionless to hide the self
Which, yes, I wish to expose to someone
I’ve always thought that
Until you can call my bluff
Someday

“Just what is she thinking?”
Everyone has always been curious
And called me eccentric

Romance is always expressionless
Don’t want to let my feelings be known
Love or hate, which is it?
I’ll deceive with ambiguity
Not showing my heart, expressionless
Am I happy, am I sad…
Unable to tell anything
I’ll always show the same face
Unsmiling

Until you can call my bluff
Someday
